THE voIoE OF THE pEoP1E.

Congressman Lilley continues to de- light the people of the State with his fearless public interviews upon the subject of political shortcomings and on that account appears to have won a place in their imagination as the stuff of which governors are made, but, he has not succeeded. if that be his aim in diverting public attention from Governor Woodruff The man in the office continues to draw forth from the citizens of the State in a manner said to be surprising even to him and his staff support which may upset yet the best laid plans of the practical politicians,
 In a communication to the Hart ford Times, in which he corrects some statements not to his liking, that Glastonbury peach, J. H. Hale, who was formerly master of the Grange, has this to say of Governor Wood .ruff's strength; T do not know whether Governor Woodruff cares for a renomination or not, but I do know that great body of our best Con- necticut people approve his course in nearly all things and will, I believe, when the proper time comes be found insisting that one who has been such broadminded, faithful servant, shall be continued in office for at least an- other term"
 If MT. Hale is well informed. and he usually is. then the battle next year is to be between the people and the controlling interests. If the peo- pie win they may be encouraged to try again and by and by become in control of their own affairs.

THE JESSE PoHERoY C4sE.

The sentimentalists who have been begging Governor Guild of Massaehu- setts to mitigate the hard lot of Jesse Pomeroy, who was sent to the Massa- chusetts State prison for life because he couldn't help killing and mutilating little boys, have failed. Governor Guild has informed Rev. F. H. Gne, LID, M. D., secretary of the American So- ciety for Promoting Criminal Anthro- pology, that he cannot even refer to the council Mr. Giles appeal against a continuance of that part of the com muted sentence of Jesse Pomeroy that relates to solitary confinement
 Pomeroy's solitary confinement isn't as terrible as it might be. His cell is large, decently furnished and we'll lighted, it's two windows opening directly out of doors He has the priv ileges of the prison library, is allowed an hours exercise in the open air each day except Sunday, and comes in for a share of fresh fruit with the other prisoners. Those who have the care of Pomeroy don't think it would be safe to give him any more liberty than he has, and they know as much about him as anybody. He is now AZ years old, has read and studied much, and his life has been more comfortable than the life of many who have not displayed criminal perversion. Massa- chusetts can be sentimental enough when there is need. or when there isn't, but she continues to feel safer with Jesse Pomeroy where he is.

NOT 4 GOOD INVESTMENT.

The Jamestown Exposition is still doing business, and doing more busi- ness than it was, but it is not expect ed that the financial part of the per- formance will be a shining success. The chief creditor will be the nation- al government which was induced to invest to the extent of million dol- lars. This was to have been paid in semi-monthly installments of $10O, 900 each. Had these terms been observed the government would by this time have got its money back, but it has thus far been repaid to the amount of only one such payment. To protect it. self, it is reported that it will take over the grounds and buildings at the end of the season for a revenue cutter cadet school, In this way 1t may save it's investment and acquire property of considerable value, fairly we'll suited LO lAlS COlbOlIlpldlCu puI pOS6s
 As the government didn't contribute with the idea of taking land and buildings in payment it's investment cannot be called very profitable one. And yet there is one point of view from which it may yet be called prof itable. If it discourages other similar investments the saving may be worth all that it costs. But there is reason to fear that the very next exposition that is held will succeed in inducing kind and paternal government to again Ego in" The agents of exposi- tions are persuasive, the country is rich,s other expositions have been helped. this one will surely pay, etc, etc. Time will tell, and it Is to be hop ed that it will tell against any more government loans" to expositions.

Game fin Maine.
(Kennebec Journal.)

NtAeuu6Dec JOuTudl,J
 According to the report of the people who have been In the woods during the summer wardens, guides, surveyors and rusticators game is just as abund- ant as ever. It seems to have moved around about the same as usual, more being seen in some places than ever before, and less in others, just accord ing to the way the deer and moose move to change their feeding grounds. Many more moose than deer have been seen in some places. One party which made the East Branch trip saw fifty moose and got pictures of nearly all of them, but saw comparatively few. deer. One thing which would tend to lessen the amount of game seen this summer is the unusually wet weather, which kept the swamps full of water so that the game was not forced to come out to the lakes and streams to drink, Duck shooting has already begun, and the gunners along the coast are having fairly good sport with the birds. Of course, the ducks and geese have not begun to come from the north yet, and it will be some weeks before they strike the Maine feeding grounds in large numbers.

THE DREAM OF 4 THINKER.

Those who have suffered from the drought this year think it has been quite severe enough, but the~e are these who would apparently like to see worse one. Thus, David Starr Jc1den, president of Stanford ITniver- sity in California, says; If we coul,l nase q great drought once every flf- teen years, killing off two-t thirds of the popuation, and great care we.e taken to see that the best third, men, tally, morally and physically, were preserved, what ma ,nillcent race Of reoplc VIC would soon have
 This suggestion seems to be humane enough, but it is hardly scientific enough for these days. Why leave it to Nature to thin out the population? Why not allow and authorize distin- guished thinkers like Brother Jordan to pick out of the human race such as they think are worth preserving, in- cluding, of course, themselves, and then have the rest sent out, of . world they only cumber. It is evident that our great thinkers are only just get ting ready to improve the world. Ire dream first, and then it's realization.

SIGNS OF REBELLION.

The other day in Chicago a man was knocked down by an automobile. He immediately climbed into the automobile and perforated the chauf- feur with knife. In New York man who was driving was run into by an automobile and his horse was injured. He promptly and thoroughly horse whipped the woman who was ra ming the automobile.
 These incidents indicate something like rebellion, and if there are enough more of them 1t will be apparent that the limit has been reached. Of course the stabbing of reckless chauffeurs or the horsewhipping of careless women can't be soberly recommended, but those who do it can make the rather impressive argument that it is as de- fensible as the way some automobil- ists go about killing or wounding.

4 CHICAGO PRoBLEM.

All kinds of problems" all the time. A new problem in Chicago is that of dealing with adults in the pub lie schools. It appears that in that city pupils over 21 years old have oc- casionally been admitted to the regu- lar elementary classes, and the pres ent controversy has arisen as the re- suit of a recommendation of Superin- tendent Cooley to admit several Jap- anese, Persians and members of other nationalitles. It is now planned to group all the adult pupils in an un- graded room ia one of the school buildings, but some of the board think the city has no right to use it's funds in this way, while failing to provide adequate accommodations for all the children. The question is going to be considered by the committee on school management
 In every city having large foreign population this question comes up, as 1t did in San Francisco, where adult Japanese wanted to go to school The ungraded-room way out of the difficult ty seems to be reasonable, especially if some charge for teaching could be made.

NO PANIC EXPECTED.

There are unobserving persons who don't notice the increase in their per capita until somebody tells them about 1t, and so, we suppose, there are .unobserving persons who haven't mo- ticed that there has been decrease in what is mellifuously called the cost of living. But there was a decrease of II per cent. in the cost of living be- tween August i and September 1. Moreover, since July 1, there has been a fall of 2.3 per cent. and since March 1, 1907, one of S.2 per cent,
 There has been no such decrease in the cost of living as there has been in the cost of securities, the cost of cop per and some other things which have been up in the air, And it isn't thought that there will be any panicky decline in the cost of living. There never is, The panic is always the oth- CT way But there are cheering indi- cations that a decline has begun which will continue until 1t will be at least as cheap to live as it is to die.

A Bird-FIight Fallacy.
(Everybody's.)

There have been decades of dispute yer the value of the hollow bones and the air-sacs in many species of birds
 It has been contended that, inasmuch as the temperature of birds Is higher than that of any other creature, this net work of air-chambers, becoming filled with air warmer than the surrounding atmosphere, enables the bird to rise It is true that the gannet the pigeon, the pelican, the albatross and other flying birds are equipped with air-ehambers, but the Australian emu, which flies,

The Fauntleroy stuck out his tongue, and blocked the others path, Whereat, the tough kid waded in and promptly gained the day At least, one school of humorlsts would fix it up that way.

The declins of the buying power of the British pound sterling is illustrat- cd in a comparative price table just published in London. By this table, 16 articles of every day use, including bread, milk, tea, sugar. bacon, flour and meats, selected from the advertise ment of a leading London store, show increases of fully 20 per cent. since 1895 This is attributed by economists to the depreciation of gold through the great increase in amount.

Consul Julius D. Dreher of the Soci- ety islands, reports that the price of vanilla beans, which advanced last year, is still advancing, owing chiefly, it is said, to the operation of the pure food law in the United States, which prevents the extensive use formerly made of the adulterated product, vanil- lin. As good beans are now bringing from 50 to 50 cents a pound in Tahiti, tho Chinese, who have almost a mo- nopoly of the vanilla business, find it quite profitable.

ClapperlesS.

We have never seen a bell-of-

Monday we saw a clapperless
bell. The pay trains stopped
as it passed through this city
at the nooh hour Monday. The
brass collared moguls were at
dinner and though the bell on
the engine rolled on its bear
ings. it was silent. The clap.
per had been taken out so the
harsh noise would not jar on
the tiukle of the glasses at the
table.
