HIS NARROW ESCAPE.

MT and Mrs Clarence E. Slauson and daughter. of Norwalk. who have been enjoying a driving trip through the country. have been the guests of Mir and Mrs Frank Mckenzie. of Grand street. While stopping at Lake Warn maug Mir Slauson had an experience that he will probably not soon forget. as he narrowly escaped drowning in the lake He was out in boat which turned over. throwing him into the water. and at a point where the water was very deep Not being able to swim and about one hundred feet from shore he was m a most perilous posi- tion- He. however, managed to get a grasp on the overturned boat in such a way as to keep his head above water. and shout for help. After he was res cued he supposed of course that his coat and other things that were in the boat were lost. but when the boat was upr1ghted the coat was found to have become fastened in the bottom of the boat. where it had stayed all through the accident As there were valuable papers in the pockets of the coat. it was fortunate for the owner that he was able to secure it as he did--[Dan- bury News

has been extirpated. One may travel
 up and down the rural parts of Ken
 lucky and Tennessee without finding enc bar or cross road saloon such as may
 be found in profusion throughout, say, New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylva- mia. It is relevant to consider at this stage what effect the abolition of the saloon has had on those communities which have voted no license. For it has always been the contention of those advocating prohibition that the issue is not alone moral, but economic. The Anti-saloon League has arrayed facts and figures to support it's claim that prosperity appears wherever the saloon disappears. There is the old-time theory for this, of course, that in mo- license towns the money which went for drink is saved and eventually put to better use. The liquor interests argue, of course, that all this depends upon whether the town is really dry :; that man in Tennessee, for example. can spend more money for liquor if by reason of living in a no-license town he is obliged to patronize 'sthe mail order houSeS'' of Nashville and buy whjskey by the bottle than if he went into a saloon and bought a drink. By
 reason of this the liquor dealers!declare that more drunkenness exists. The fact should also be noted that through out the South the largest and most important cities, such as Louisville, Memphis, Atlanta, and others, are "wet.',
 The writerIundertook in the course of his work to make a comparison in point of prosperity between the license and no-iicense sections. The task was found to be most difficult one. Ken lucky as we'll as Tennessee presents the situation of the larger and more important cities like Louisville and Frankfort still having the saloon The Anti-saloon League claim, however, that there can be no question of the prosperity of a material sort of all the "dry" territory as compared with the "wet'' districts. The cities of Dan vile, Glasgow, Franklin, and Mayfield have voted on nc license for twenty five years. Glasgow, with a popula- tiOn of less than three thousand, has
 five banks in successful opera tion. For the further purpose of bringing out that the 'dry' territory has pros spered more than the sswet,' that from 1890 to 1900, three cities, two of them being Somerset and Elizabethtown, lost in population according to the census re- ports. The two have voted dry since. As an illustration to show that banish- ing the saloon does not add additional burdens to the taxpayer through the reduction in revenue, the case of Hogenville, near the farm on which Abraham Lincoln was born, is cited.

Just how no license accomplished this we are not told. The only solution is that no license must have added to the resources of the town and allowed an increase in revenue in other directions which wiped out the debt

A decision which will interest labor organizations everywhere has just been handed down by the Massachusetts Supreme Court A construction com pany was building Christian Science church in Boston. Under the contract the church was to be finished on a cer- tain day. About month before that day arrived the construction company engaged non-union carpenter, nd there followed the customary rebellion. The usual struggle between the closed shop and the open shop began. The union carpenters struck on the refusal of the construction company to dis
 charge the non-union man. So far the ordinary proceedings prevailed, but now another, an extraordinary. element was introduced. The union persuaded the directors of the Christian Science Church to take part in the contest on their side These directors, eager that their church-should be finished on the day set for it's dedication, urged the construction company to discharge the non-union man. promising that if this was done they would secure for him another place. The construction com pany declined, and the directors. no- tifying it that it's contract was termi- mated, elected it's workmen from the building The company obtained an in- Junction, re-entered on the work. and finished it within the specified time. Then it sued the directors for damages caused by the interruption of the work. Its contention has been sustained and the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has held that the directors of the Christian Science Church and the car penter $ union are jointly and severa iIv liable to the construction company for the losses incurred by it for the breach Of the contract. The master to whom the case was referred and whose fnd- ings have been upheld by the Supreme Court decided that there was a con spiracy between the directors and the union. the result of which was breach of the contract of employment between the plaintiff and the defendant board without any just cause or lawful

The retirement from the active busi- ness life of the town of that venerable business man and splendid gentleman, Minott Augur, is universally regretted. Trained as a youth in the printer s trade, circumstances brought him to Newtown. where for an unbroken peri cd of 39 years he has conducted meat and provision business. It is a record honorable in it's entirety, and that he may enjoy more leisure now that he is freed from the cares of business, will be the wish of a legion of friends It will be fortunate thing for the town, Sandy Hook in particular. if he con- tinues to make his residence here.
