The Poor Editor.

A little boy of town was given
the task by his father of writing
an essay on editorials the other
day, and the following was the
result of his efforts:
II don't know how newspapers
come to be in the world. | don't
think God does, for he hain't got
nothing to say about them and

CIVIC LEAGUE.

There is complaint from sew
eral parts of town of the water
having disagreeable odor and
taste. Would it not be we'll to
flush the pipes and clean out the
tank little oftener? It would
certainly be a poor advertise
ment for our town if any of the
prevailing sickness should be
traced to this cause. We are
not airing a personal grievance
this time, as so far the water in
this part of town has been pure,
though it is occasionally very
cloudy.
Would it not be a good plan
fol the town council to desig-
nate some place or places for
the dumping of trash? 1t is
really a question on small lots
to know what to do with what
cannot be burned. That prOba-
bly, accounts for many people
throwing it in the bitches. Per
haps the town could afford to
send a wagon around at stated
times to carry off barrels or cans
of trash. After they are dumped
if little dirt and lime could be
spread over the pile it would be
much healthier. The last time
we were on West Main that
seemed to be the ''trash pile'
and it was anything but slightly.
We nope this is not the place
now, since the sentiment is
spreading of keeping not only
our premises but the streets fair
to look upon.
We hope the entertainment to
be given at the school by MISS
Rivers, of Meridian, will be we'll
patti onized. Unfortunately the
date was not announced in. time
to advertise in the town papers.
We hope this is but one of the
many attractions we are to ex-
pect this winter and that the
trustees will eventually see that
it is to their intesest to rent the
hall. even when the entertain
ment IS not strictly for the bene-
fit of the school. It would be
just that much more than moth
ing in your treasury, and the
expense ana trouble would be
very little.

RAILROAD RUMBlES

A communication has been sent by the Massachusetts railroad commission CTS to Vice-President Byrnes of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, calling attention to an alleged violation of the law in regard to the manning of passenger trains. The occasion of the letter, it is said, is the alleged use of brakemen as conductors and baggage men on certain divisions. The letter say: "In our opinion, any attempt to economi1e in train crews by requiring of brakemen the performance of other work, which in any way interferes with the fulfillment of his duty as brake man, is violation of law"
 An organized movement for more pay is reported among all the section hands of the Consolidated Railroad. They will demand an increase from s1.50 to $l.75 day.
 President Mellen is having private telephone wire strung from the general offices of the Consolidated Railroad Tn New Haven, to his summer residence in Stockbridge.
 William Handlin will not, as reported, accept position in Falls Village but will return to Canaan and on May 1st assume his position at the station as clerk for the Adams express company.

R.00SEVELT'S LETTER
TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF U. S.

He Tells Them That Within Their Life
 time the Nations Need of Trees
 Will be Serious One-The Sgnifi-
 canoe of Arbor Day.
 President Roosevelt has addressed ito the school children of the United States" a message on the significance of Arbor day, which during the month of April is celebrated in many of the states He says to them it is we'll that they should celebrate the day thoughtfully and that when they help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones, they are acting the part of good citizens. The message is as follows:-
 To the school children of the United States: Arbor day (which means simply "tree day'O is now observed in every state in our union-and mainly in the schools At various times from January to December, but chiefly in this month of April, you give day or part of a day to special exercises and perhaps to actual tree planting in recognition of the i'm portance of trees to us as a nation and of what they yield i'll adornment, comfort and useful products to the communities in which you live. It is well that you should celebrate your Arbor day thought fully, for within your lifetime the nation need of trees will become serious. We of an older generation can get along with what we have though with grow ing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what Nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and be- cause of that want you will reproach us not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted.
 For the nation as for the man or woman and the boy or girl, the road to success is the right use of what we have and the improvement of present oppor- tunity. If you neglect to prepare your selves now for the duties and respons- Utilities which will fall upon you later, if you do not learn the things which you will need to know when your school days are over, you will suffer the conse- quences. So any nation which in it's youth lives only for the day, reaps with out sowing and consumes without hus- banding, must expect the penalty of the prodigal whose labor could with diff culty find him the bare means of life.  A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as hopeless; forests which are so useu that they cannot renew them selves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. A true forest is not m Arely storehouse full of wood, but as it were factory of wood, and at the same time reservoir of water. When you help 10 preserve our forests or to plant new ones, you are acting the part of good citizens. The value of forestry deserves, therefore, to be taught ill the schools. which aim to make good citizens of you. If your Arbor day exercises help you to realize what benefits each one of you receives from the forests, and how by your assistance these benefits may continue, they will serve good end. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Arrested for Forgery

The New York police last week ar rested Albert Shook, 27, who is wanted by the Great Harrington police on the charge of forgery. It is alleged that Shook passed certain checks in Great Burlington several years ago, which were found to be worthless.

A des- cription of the man was given out, and the police were constantly on the look out for him. He had been living in Port Washington, l.. I. Shook was a native of Sheffield and passed checks which probably amounted to about S200 among the merchants of Great Barring ton The indictment, which was returned against him in February, 1902, was for checks drawn on D.
