woRrn THINKING An UT.

The remarks of Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme court concerning the condition and prospects of the negro race in this country are making stir. And especially that part of them in which he set forth that while the colored brothers may be too fond of the chicken coop and the watermelon patch they are firm believers in so- cial order He said that you will find no Johann Most Emma Gold man, Czolgosz, or Guiteau among them, and, looking to the struggle between order and anarchy which he seemed to consider approaching, he asked; May 1t not be that these peo- pie (negroes). grateful to the nation for their liberty, and to the good peo- pie of the land for their uplifting; knowledge, purity and social standing, | NlAl PlONI lAlNlllGNtNS5 q A+IbAhy AQAlS |upholding law. order, and the suprem- acy of the natinn2"
 The negro hasn't been much looked at in this way, but when you stop to think of it, therc is much in 1t. The negro Is not an anarchist, or violent and general disturber of the peace, It is and should be remembered that he fought nobly in the Civil war, in Cuba and in the Philippines. His wrongs haven't soured him, or made him, on the whole, an undesirable citizen, and he is becoming more and more desirable. He may yet, as Jus tiee Brewer suggests, be much more useful than some think he will be. Meanwhile he is entitled to life, liber- ty and the pursuit of happiness, What a chapter in history it would make If the negro should by and by be power full in saving the country that en- slaved him and gave him his liberty

THE FALL.t

Pride goeth before a fall Worces- ter forgot this when little while ago she was swelling up over the remark of the Swedish prince that he liked Worcester better than any of the cit les he had visited, Ernesto Nelson, special commissioner of the Argen- tine national board of education, has been visiting Worcester. After being In this country for four years" he said, land after having travelled 20,- 900 miles over it, I have never met with a lot of tougher boys than those at large in the streets of Worcester.
 This is tough. Worcester is only forty miles from Boston and Harvard, where the boys are as tender as boys can be, and 1t is strange that there should be such a difference in such distance. As tough boys often make tough men, 1t benooves Worces- ter to take the toughness out of hel tough boys, even if she has to do it ir the way tough steak is made tender by pounding.

 It was undoubtedly true that the stout man took up more room in the car than Is often occupied by one per- son. The exceedingly thin man next whom he sat heavily down gave a sound of disapproval.
 "They ought to charge by weight in these cars,' he said to his neighbor on the other side, in so clear tone that the stout man could not help hear ing him.
 Maybe 'twould be a good idea, my friend" he said, turning calm, dis. passionate gaze on the thin man, "but if they did you'd have to walk. The car would never stop for you."- Youths Companion.

at large. Or as the poet has it: Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
 Nor will Dr. Luther's plain speech with regard to the duty which con- fronts the States of the Union be lost upon thoughtful people. He makes an effective plea for uniform State legislation upon matters of common concern and he bases his understand ing of the need of it upon the physi- cal changes which have overtaken towns, cities and States as a conse- quence of rapid transit and the tele- phone He has no fear of Connecticut and Virginia losing their identity, but whether they are to become mere spots on the map or independent sov- eighties depends upon the use they make of their common power. He declares and with every reason imag- inable to fortify him that things Twill be set right some way" This opens one of two courses to be followed. Either the States must agree among themselves upon a means and a meth cd of controlling their incorporated creatures or the means and method will be found at Washington. This is virtually what Secretary of State Root said in his well remembered New York speech-if the States will not exercise their powers of control and restraint, the national government will undertake to do so. It is also what has been said over and over again in the columns of The Journal and Courier and other Connecticut newspapers. It was what was intended to be cured when Governor Woodruff sought to have created a public utilities com mission. It was what was actually ac- complshed in New York State when such a commission was created there l T LGSldGnI AIGllCllt ollIOll5 lllo Netl llSl appearances before the legislature, re- minded that body that the creator was greater than its creature. It is in view of this unbroken testimony, all reach. ing in one direction that of suggest. ling to the States wherein their escape from federal control lies, that Dr Luther's views take on real and timely interest

Dogs and their owners will be cheered by a decision which has just been made by the Supreme court of Minnesota. In St. Paul in that State an English setter got into a fight with another dog on the Smelling avenue car-tracks. The two dogs were absorbed in fighting. A car came along and the setter was run over and killed. The owner sued the company and got a $50 verdict The Minnesota Supreme court sustained it. When dogs are engaged in fighting upon street-railway tracks," said the court, land are apparently oblivious to an approaching car, the motor man, upon discovering them in a po- sltion of peril, is required to exercise reasonable care by using proper sig nals or checking the speed of his car to avoid their injury"
 This is as humane as 1t seems to be legal. Of course street-car tracks are not the best places for dogs to pick out to fight in, but, like men of honor i they have to fight when and where they are called on to. They shouldn't be rutnlessly run over just because they are more sensitive and courage l ous than wise.

SAFER THAN INDIA.

Thank your stars that you live in the United States and not in India where, if the plague didn't get you, a wolf, a snake or tiger might Last year the total number of people killed by wild animals in India was 2,084. Wolves killed ITS persons in the Unit ed Provinces. In the Madras presiden- cy tigers were responsible for the greater mortality, while a mad wolf in the Sholapur district of Bombay caus- ed sixteen deaths. In Bengal the num- Der of persons killed by elephants rose from nine in 1905 to eighteen in 1906, and a proposal has been made by the magistrate Of Cuttack for the organization of a khedda in that dis trict Tigers killed @ larger number of persons than in 1905 in Madras, Bom- bay the United Provinces, and Bur nah, and steps have been taken for the destruction of man-eating tigers in those districts, Three man-eating tigers were destroyed in Samhalpur, Angul, and Mandular in 1908. The persons reported to have died from snake bites numbered 22,S54, against 21,797 in 1905, the increased mortality being ascribed to high floods, which drove snakes into houses and homesteads.
 How safe and pleasant life in New Haven is compared with this. Here all you have got to do is 10 pay what po- lite people want for what they have to sell. If you can do that you can live comfortably, with no danger of get ting bitten by anything except neas, mosquitoes and mad dogs.

about 100. .OO0 persons in the State are suffering from tuberculosis, took inn portant action. It appropriated $GO0,- 900 for the establishment of free san- itariums. One of these is already To- cated in the Mont Alto forest reserva- ton in Franklin county. It is expected that eventually five hundred patients will be accommodated there, and an equal number in a second sanitarium to be established by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, health commissioner, in the western part of the State. It is further proposed to establish one hundred and fifty dispensaries throughout the State in spots where tuberculosis is preva- Ilent. This will mean houses of refuge | for persons in the incipient stages of lthe disease, where measures will be taken to stamp out the nalady before lit has rendered it's victims unfit for
 work These dispensaries will also be centers of advice, where patients will l be told what hygienic rules to adopt
 and how to live so as to protect them selves.

tOctoDer Century.l
 Even manual training needs new di- rection as 1t touches country life. It may not be necessary to eliminate the formal exercises of model work and weaving and the like; but some of the practical problems of the home and farm, may be added. How to make a garden, to lay out paths, make fences and labels, are manual training pro- blems How to saw board off straight, to drive nall, to whittle . peg to make a tooth for a hand hay rake, to repair a hoe, to sharpeH saw, to paint a fence, to hang a gate, to adjust a blow point to mend a strap, to prune an apple tree, to harness a horse-the problems are bewildering from their very number. Manual train ing can be SC taught in the schools that are euipped for it as, in ten years, to start a revolution in the agriculture of any commonwealth,

Civic Federation Criticised.

(The Springfield Republican.)
 If the national civic federations municipal investigation was financed by, and so undertaken on behalf of. pri- vate ownership interests, what is to be concluded respecting the federations forthcoming conference on the trust question? Are the trusts to pay the expenses in this case also? Is the fed eration, after all, mere agency of privileged wealth? And does It's devo- ton extend to the point of justlfying and enco uraging managers of corpora tions to expend corporation funds se- cretly for such purposes as influencing or demoralizing public opinion? A great institution such a one must be for the cultivation of a proper civic spirit over the country!

fire.? But comparatively few people
have seen it, and nobody knows just
what causes it. There is no doubt
that the ignis fatuus is tangible thing
something more than the usual fabric
Of a nursery story-but what is it?
Naturalists all have their opinions
about it, but these opinions widely
vary.
It usually appears in marshy dis
tricts, and the most plausible opinion
Is that it emanates from the decomposi-
ton of bones, generating gas charged
with phosphorus, which ignites by con-
tact with atmospheric air. The trouble
In solving the mystery arises from the
fact that you can't capture a jack-'o-
lantern and take it home for chemical
analysis. No matter how carefully
you approach the mysterious light, it
will elude you and airily dance on
ahead. The bubble Of luminous gas is
disturbed by the slight agitation Of the
air caused by your approach, and hence
the attempt to capture it Is as impos-
sible as to catch up with your own
shadow.
