THE NEIGHBoRs WE NEED.

The wisest statesmen Of the south
since the Civil war have felt that for

long effort Of our people to read
just their civilization and industries
to the new order following the war.
The chiefest problem that confront
ed the southern men of 1865 was the
negro problem-the first evil effects
of negro emancipation Of government
paternalism and providence for the
freedmen, and the struggle to steer
the channel between the rocks of po-
litical negro domination on the one
side and the negro free-labor prob
lem on the other side.
Amid such circumstances the south
ern leaders believed it extremely un-
wise to import into our states any con-
siderable numbers of people who would
be strangers to our future policies and
friendly to the EXTREMIST ideas of ra-
cial and political equalities.
1t is very questionable with many
who have lived through the half CEN
tury past whether we have yet come
to the place where we can safely go
out to seek and translate into our
southern communities those foreign
ers especially to whom our history is
strange, our laws and language are
mysteries, and our customs restrict
i've and burdensome.
The negro problem still oppresses
and the presence of large element
of foreigners to whom Saxon-African
antagonisms are unknown and too Of

the so-called Afro-American race is

1t Is not yet ascertained that we
want to grow more cotton than We can
now produce, or that foreign immi-
grants could cause such production on
profitable terms.
Our factories may need skilled
and cheap labor, but whatever factory
operatives are found coming to Amer

county, or Of any state, or Of the ma
tion, Is not conducted with due regard
for the interests of the farmers and
other field and forest producers OF tho
nation, the blame must rest upon the
complainants.
There Is not county government,
other than counties controlled by large
cities, in which the personal character
and policies of the authorities cannot
be determined in the district meetings
of the few scores, or few hundreds,
of voters who reside in such districts.
On we'll defined issues that make for
good or bad government the people
can there act directly and with fair
assurance that the majority will side
with the good rather than the evil men
and measures. Hence the fulcrum
of every good citizens power Is In his
home caucus, or town meeting Right
action starting there will gather i'm
petus and finally reach it's highest
goal.
Politics produce many special prop
agandists and parasites whose busi-
ness it Is to control the farmer vote,''
or failing that, to keep it from the
caucus and the polls.
Yet there is no greater fool under
the folds Of the American flag than
the farmer who listens seriously to
these seducers and who absents him.
self from the time and place where
his real interests are to be preserved
or perverted. He is like a man who
goes fishing while his standing crop
is being destroyed by vagrant cattle.
No man who is wise in this genera
tion will consent to trust the party"
to care for his welfare. Now more
than ever the eternal vigilance OF the
individual citizen is the price of his
freedom, his property and his pros
perity Most of the politics and party
ism of today is gross commerce in
special legislation to allow the rich
and powerful to oppress and rob the
masses.
Every so-called business on the con-
tinent that "scalps" It's trade and prof
it's from the producers and consum-
ers is in politics, but they have no pol
itics. Their convictions are CONNER
cial and not patriotic. Each of them
favors the party and the policy that
favors its schemes of exploitation and
plunder of the common people, Banks,
railroads, factories, foundries, trusts,
monopolies of every character, are not
Democratic and are not Republican.
They are either for the one party or
the other as their own schemes deter
mine them
1t is that party which outbids the
other with favoritisms for capital,
trusts and plunderbunds that gets their
support and their campaign aid to
success.
The farmers of the nation need a
great awakening to the truth that nei-
ther party is their friend and guar
dian, but that by solid union OF their
forces they can, if they will, make both
parties their competing suppliants
and servants. s. w. 8.

Rriar Wood for Pipss.

Briar wood for the pipes of AmeN ican smokers is imported fin great quantities from Italy. The larger part of the Italian briar wood is found along the Mediterranean coast. A kind of grubbins spade. with one sharp edge for cutting away the large billet or heart. of the root tthe val. uable partD from the surrounding small roots is used in this work. After being thoroughly cleaned and trim med it is brought to the mill and by means of circular saws cut into small blocks corresponding roughly to the shape of a pipe bowl and stem. These blocks are of various sizes. de. pending upon the dimension and shape of the billet. Aftervsrd they are immersed in boiling water for a period of about 12 hours and then thoroughly dried. This process com. pleted. they are sorted. the imperfect pieces being thrown aside. placed in large iute bags and are then ready for shipment The waste pieces un. suitable for pipes are sold for fire wood.

 Bridgeport will put forth her pret- tiest efforts to take that game down there this evening.
 New Haven comes here tomorrow night, and that will be another battle royal. George Bone has strengthened up his team until it is to-day one of the best in the league.
 Wouldn't it jar the nerves of the Bridgeport fans if Waterbury should trim their pets down in that village tonight? Stranger things than that have happened, however.
 Manager Simmons of Bridgeport says he wouldn't allow Whipple on his team if he played for nothing. He was too prone to induce some of the other players to enjoy life like he does himself.
 You can't make New Britain Fans think that Woods has anything on Devlin or Hartford cranks that he has it on "Paddy-the-Harp."
 What a hot old time there is in store for the Bridgeport cranks this week. Waterbury Monday night and New Britain Thursday night. The result of these games ought to upset the schedule somewhat.
 Walter Ball. one of the most prom ising young players, turned out for the year at Youngstown. O., may wear a New Haven uniform.
 Penfield. wallingford's center. is out of the game owing to an injury to his eye which he received while at work in one of the Wallingford shops. He will be out of the game for at least two weeks.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The report from California to the effect that Hal Chase, the star first baseman of the New York Americans had decided to remain on the coast this year and play with San Jose for a $4,000 salary was ridiculed by Manager Griffith Saturday, who said that it was simply an old yarn re- mashed.
 There is rumor in circulation among baseball men just now that when the championship season in the National league opens Frank Bower man, the New York catcher, will be found with the Cincinnati team. It is said that when the New York Ma tionals got Seymour from Cincinnati last year, Hermann did not get $1O,- 900 in cash, but instead he received a promise from MeGraw for catch CT, probably Bowerman.
 More major league players are holding of for increased salaries this year than for some time past. The most notable kickers are Bowerman, Donlin and Mullen of the New York Nationals: Jordan of Brooklyn, Me Intyre and Donahue of Detroit, Stahl and Anderson of Washington, Parent and Carrigan of the Boston Ameri- cans, Cy Young of the Boston Ma tionals. Joss of Cleveland and others. The big profits of the different clubs last year are ascribed as a reason for the present strike.
 Manager Clarkin of the Hartford baseball club has sent contract to c. s. Hopper, the crack pitcher of the National Wire corporation of New Haven. He will be ordered to report with the other members of the team in Hartford in April.
 Philip Carney, an outfielder from Philadelphia, has accepted Manager Tommy Dowd's terms and will report for practice early in April. He play ed with strong independent teams last season and is highly recommend ed. Goldie Bowler, the Springfield pitcher, believes in living up to his name and he has started bowling alley at Northampton, Mass. He is going to put five alleys into the old A. o. H. hall there. Bowler & Ed wards is the name of the firm.
 As the New London club has signed so many players that there is no room for any more, unless they en- large the park. one of the papers down there is trying to find places for men in some of the other cities. 1t says that the managers have over looked Scrappy Bone, the New Haven polo manager. and Waterbury is ad- vised to take him to fill in a gap. It also suggests that Waterbury place Arthur Nichols at short and give bone Nichols's place. Manager Du- rant ought to be thankful for these valuable suggestions. Perhaps the New London people may have some men that they think are good enough for the Hartford team. Hartford Courant.
 Captain Henry w. Moves has signed contract with Hartford for 1907 as the terms were agreeable to him. Howard Buckley will be in fast company when he goes to Lancaster of the Tri-State League. Several for mer Connecticut League players are with the team. It is believed that the team will line up as follows: Pitchers, Reisling. McCabe. Burke. Buckley. Wallace. Wilson and Doc Blough; catchers. Rementer and Raub: infielders. Deal. Downey, 0dell and Newton: outfielders, Foster. Hartley and Crolius.

LOTTERY FOR CHURCH.
ONE SANCTIONED FOR RAISING
 MONEY FOR NEEDED REPAIRe.
Ancient Cathedral at AIx,la.chapelle, Where charlemagne 10 6urlsds
 the Center of an Unusual Y, Enterprise.

The venerable cathedral at Aix-la. Chapelle is to be repaired, and that through the medium of lottery, q seeming incongruity, to many minds. During recent years the decay of the ancient structure has been rapid and the necessity of repairs if the historic building was to be preserved has long been apparent. But the dimculty which has troubled the church author ities has been the lack of funds, for even church buildings require money when it comes to making repairs. It would take, so the architects said,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-04

something like $75,00o to make the necessary repairs and restore the building to anything like it's former strength and glory, but where those $75,000 were to come from nobody seemed to know. It was while in this dilemma that the suggestion came of organizing lottery for the purpose of raising this considerable sum. It seemed a great calamity to suffer the church where the body of the great Charlemagne lay buried to become total ruin and because no other feas-. ible plan suggested itself for the rais- ing of the money, the authorities sanc- toned the plan of a lottery, and 1t is hoped that the entire $75,000 will be raised in this way. The inhabitants of Rhenish Prussia, in particular, and Germany in general, have been invited Co indulge in this pious gamble. Those who lose their money-as most of them, of course, will-will be able to solace themselves with the thought that what they are out of pocket will be posted up to their credit in the ac- counts kept of incorruptible treasures, and those who obtain prizes will suf, fer no misgivings that their winnings represent ill-gotten gains. In Amer lea, of course, lotteries are forbidden, but on the continent they are ire quently employed for religious and philanthropic purposes.
 The original chapel at Aixla.Chap. elle was built by Charlemagne near the end of the eighth century. After its destruction by the Normans 1t was rebuilt by Otho III. in 9S3. and forms the nucleus of the cathedral. This an- cient cathedral is in the form of an octagon, which, with various addi. tions round 1t, forms on the outside . 16-sided figure. In tho middle of the octagon . stone with the inscription Carlo Magno" marks the site of the grave of Charlemagne. In 1915 Fred. erick II. caused the remains of the emperor to be inclosed in . costly shrine. The grave has been opened more than once. the last time at the kaiser's command. In the newest part of the edifice are kept the so-called great relics.' which once In seven years are shown to the people and al. ways attracts thousands of pilgrims But as a means of raising money in these modern days more dependence is to be placed on a lottery than on the most venerated of relics.

UMPIRE WAS FOOLED.

'One of the funniest things I ever saw in a baseball game occurred in the Central League last year when Umpire Alloway fined clothing store dummy SIC because 1t would not play ball" said Dobble Grogan. who was with Dayton last year.
 We were playing at South Bend one Saturday afternoon and Buck O'Connor of the South Bend team had been raising a row. Alloway finally kicked him out. He was so mad he sat up all night trying to fg- ure out some means of getting back at his umps. Finally he fixed up a plan. That night he secured cloth ing store dummy somewhere and decked it out In Sound Bend uni- form. Before the game started he carried it to a bench in the outfield
 He put the players onto his scheme and during practice they would eo over and sit beside it and pretend to be talking to 1t.
 When the game started Sunday afternoon AlIoway waved his hand to the dummy. yelling to it to get off the field. Mister Dummy sat right still and started hack at him.
 Stop delaying this game or I'll fine you,' yelled Allovay.
 The big crowd was watching The dummy vss made up % well even the fans didn't know it was not s player
