 RULES or THE ROAD.
 We think it could do no harm to call attention of certain of our townspeople to a certain chapter of the Connecticut Statutes in regard to the rules of the road. In Chapter 2l6 an act concerning the Meeting and Passing of Persons and Vehicles on Public Highways, we find the following passage: Whenever person riding, driving, or leading q horse or other animal in the travelled portion of public highway, or driving or operatings s vehicle therein, shall meet another person thus riding, driving, or leading horse or other animal, or thus driving or operating vehicle, if such persons are moving in the same direo- tion, the person overtaking shall pass on the left of the person overtaken, and the person overtaken shall, as soon as prac- passage on the left to the other" This passage is one that is often misunder- stood and misconstrued. It applies to all moving vehicles, bicycles, automo- piles, horse drawn vehicles, etc.

Thirty-five years ago J. T.. Pease printed the first number of THE NEWS, since which time total of 1872 numbers have been issued. What mass of history those files contain and how many things have happened during that period. Gener-
 ations have grown up in Litchfield county, villages have matured and methods, manners and customs have changed in many ways. Who can fore cast conditions 35 years hence if develop ment along various lines is as great dur like period in the past?

The dyed-in-the-wool Bryan men are looking with considerable skepticism npon the present very strenuous ad- vocacy of the Nebraskan for president on the part of many democrats who openly opposed him in the last campaign and did all in their power to accomplish his defeat or else remained inactive. They suspect the present agitation was started for the purpose of disposing of the Bryan boom now in order that some other can .didate may be, presented later. And when you come to think of it, two years is long while for the American people to maintain unbounded enthusiasm for a would-be president.

It is the expectation of the govern ment that it will be able to convict the Standard Oil officials of violation of the interstate commerce law, the Sherman antitrust act and the law making re- bates illegal and that it will be able to convict them of conspiracy against the United States, so that the court may if it sees fit impose a sentence of imprison- ment. Hence 1t is not without the bounds of possibility that some of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world may go to jail. We wonder what the oil men think now about the power of thoroughly aroused public opinion.

We may, however, be pardoned for stating what has been accomplished dur ing the twelve weeks ownership by this company. To treat the subject briefly, we have given our subscribers sub- stantially increased amount of reading matter have increased the advertising patronage from eight columns i'll the first issue in April to an average of IA to 15 columns during the last two or three issues in volume 35. It has been our profitable to the advertisers and it is with pleasure that we hear from their own lips, expressions of satisfaction as to the results they have obtained. New names have appeared ill the advertising columns each week which is most ex- cellent evidence of their value as a bus mess bringer and there are various evi- dences that THE NEWS family of ad- vertisers will be considerably larger ere the final issue in volume 36 is printed.
 We have made an effort to till our news field as thoroughly as circumstances would permit and inasmuch as the sub- scription list has been, and is, constantly increasing, it is evidence conclusive that these efforts have not counted for naught. Particularly gratifying have been the congratulatory remarks made by many subscribers because of the increased amount of matter we have been placing at their disposal and these expressions of appreciation inspire us to still further activities along this line.
 One of the accomplishments during these twelve weeks was the inauguration of an edition of THE NEWS for the viii lages of Sharon, Sharon Valley and Ellsworth, styled THE SHARON NEWS" the first issue of which appeared June 7th, and which edition met with hearty and cordial reception both from subscribers and advertisers.
 THE NEWS appears to-day in new, eight-page form. While the pages are smaller than those of the paper in its previous form, they are double in num- Der and place 25 per cent more space at our disposal for the accommodation of reading matter and advertisements.
 Perhaps the change in the arrange ment and makeup may seem like the passing of an old friend to those who have been accustomed to it in four-pag form for so many years but we believe they will welcome and appreciate the new shape. The county papers the country over, are discarding the large four page or blanket sheet" form and adopting eight pages because they are finding their space inadequate to meet the demands upon it and, as above stated, that is the precise reason why THE NEWS comes to you today in new shape and it occurred to us as fitting to begin the new volume and the new form at one and the same time.
 We hope for continued growth of the subscription list and advertising patronage and trust. that on or before the next birthday of THE NEWS" to find still further expansion necessity.

LOOKING FOR GOLD
Mine Near Canaan Valley to Be Re-
 opened by New York Parties

opened by New York Parties
 Several New York parties, among whom is one Judge Grant, have inter- ested themselves in re-opening the old Cleveland gold mine, situated about two and one-half miles east of Canaan Val ley. Quite extensive excavations were made there few years ago in search of the precious metal, but whether or not there is any gold there is question that has never been satisfactorily answered. At any rate those first interested in the project abandoned the mine and no at tempt has since been made to renew the search. The formation is of peculiar appearance and the New York folks are of the opinion that it contains pay dirt. Samples will probably be assayed in order to reach definite conclusion.

his political reputation on two prop

view with that well-informed Re

is that Knute Nelson will be elected

himself, and the second is that A.

the state. Mr.. Eddy states that
Cole conditions are improving daily,
and judging from reports from a
number of counties there is no doubt
of it. Mr.. Eddy is considered a
good prophet.

In the congregation of over a
quarter of million people, and OF
the old soldiers nearly all passed the
60 year mark, deaths will occur. 1t
is natural. Where those deaths are
not by accident they ought not to be
charged up to parade which annu-
ally does more to quicken the patrl-
otto pulse than any tale we could en-
fold. May the parade be a feature
until the last old veteran joins his
comrades of the Grand Army march

GIVE US THE PARADE.

The Minneapolis Tribune of last
Thursday morning editorially hoped
that the old soldiers would not insist
on marching next and succeeding
years.
We are against that sentiment
We want the old soldiers to march
at each recurring encampment until
there is not a single one of them left
to make the march. We want them
to march if they only march a block
and some young fellows are COM
PEELED to carry them all but one foot
of the way.
Who was there in that crowd of
over quarter of a million people in
Minneapolis last Wednesday who will
not say Amen" to this sentiment?
Better than ten years of historical
study, better than a lifetime study
of patriotism, was that parade, to
the young and old that witnessed it.
1t recalled the deeds of valor, it
renewed the thots of what they
fought for, and it renewed in our
hearts the obligations we owe them,
more than anything else that could
have been done.
And after all is said where could
there be happier passing away? A
week or year might bring the end,
anyway. And the happiness of dy-
ing while being cheered by count
less throng, with comrade in front
and comrade behind, would be our
ideal. From house-top, from win
dow, from entrance, and from side
walk the cheers of the old and young
were given and will be given, and no
sweeter, dearer trumpet could come
to the dying soldiers ears.

Editor Blakeley of Rochester, the
railroad and warehouse commission
ers, and Gov. Johnson have been
having a little colloquy of their own
during the past ten days, and the
editor seems to have drawn the fire
apparently just what he was after.
The governor limited that if the rail
road and warehouse commission did
not do it's duty it would be removed.
The commission replied by saying
that the governor had never called
it's attention to any dereliction of
duty, and about the same time it
was made public that one member
of the commission had kept pro-
oosal of three northern railroads, re-
garding freight tariff, in his pock-
ct for several days without apprising
his colleague. When this proposal,
which would not effect southern
Minnesota rates, was made public,
there was howl of Indignation and
the howl kept the commission from
walking into the trap. Then the
governor stepped in with letter
congratulating the commission on
not having been caught. What is
wanted to-day on part of the rail-
road and warehouse commission is
action. Delays and dilly-dallying
along by that body are creating a
popular upheaval and when that up
heaval breaks the commission had
better look out. The reduction of
railroad rates question will not down
and the sooner the commissioners
get action on the question the better
will it serve the state and their own
personal interests.

looked after first, and he was treat

unanimous praise for the rapidly

other visitors were all cared for

best spirit on part of Minneapolis
citizens. The decorations were pa
triotically beautiful sublime. The
newspapers covered every detail of
the big event magnifcently. The
