A notable case of the latter is found
in Mansfield, the place being known
as the Marlboro Fruit Farm, owned
and operated by J. r. Houston &
Sons. Five years ago, when Mr..
Houston came here from New York
state and purchased the old Hope
Newcomb place. a hilly and stony
farm, SO run down as hardly to sup
port COW, he was ridiculed by the
adjoining neighbors, who termed him
a fool for making such a purchase.
However, coming from a noted fruit
state and knowing the kind of soil
needed for successful operation, he
paid little heed to the censure, and
went to work with a determination
to succeed, and how we'll he accom-
plished his purpose can be best real
has been made to blossom as the
rose, and one can hardly recognize
the old Newcomb farm in the pro-
ductiveness of the Marlboro farm.
AS result of five years of persistent
effort the farm contains some 20, 900
raspberry plants of popular varieties,
six acres of strawberries, 20, 90 cur
rant bushes, and 5000 peach trees
that promise a full crop. In addi-
tion to the farm, the firm has bought
another place, to be devoted wholly
to peach trees, 900 being required.
Mr.. Houston is practical pomologist
and one of his sons il assistant horti-
culturist at the Connecticut Agricul-
tural college. A visit to the farm
will amply repay any one interested
in pomology, and the utmost courtesy
will be extended to all"

 The freight on a pair of mems shoes from New York to Chicago" says The New York World, ''is one cent one rnill and two-tenths of mill. The increase In the retail price of a pair of mems shoes due to the Dingley duties on hides and leather varies from 20 to S5 cents. Why is President Roosevelt Sp keen to have the Government regulate this freight charge of l cent, one mill and two-tenths of mill. and so reluc- tant to have the GoyernRAent regulate this tariff charge of 35 or 35 centsT'
 Why2 Simply because the tariff pro- tects Republican trusts and Republican trusts elect Republican Presidents. When rates are cut shoes will not be cheaper, but everything we eat and ev- erything we wear will remain at high prices so long as the tariff exists. MT. Roosevelt must do something. He can- not offend trust niagnates and iusur- ance grafters who elected him. and he is advocating a side issue and magnify irg 1t to deceive tine people. But he cannot fool all of the people all the time If Democrats would be firm they could block the Republican trickery and by defeating the Esch- Townsend or any similar bill there might be some hope of forcing Congress to revise the tariff. That is where the shoe pinches.

Referring to the case of Senator Bur ton. Of Kansas. The Nebraska State Journal argues that it isn't that he is confronted with jail sentence: that he must put back the roll--.the punish- ment is that he is dishonored and dis credited in the sight of all men: that his public service Is at an end. and he is under a cloud that will never be lifted this side of the grave. Every sinner Is bound sooner or later to get all that is coming to him." If MT. Burton were a man of low character who had never held a position ot honor his present plight might not be 90 galling. It is the height from which he fell that Is hardest to bear. and his fate ought to be a solemn warning to other public men who feel inclined to trifie with their oppor- tunities.
