tives for more years than he has been in politics, and who enjoy the entire confidence and respect of MT. Lilley's home associates in congress. It Is preposterous for any newspaper in Connecticut to ignore the view of James Schoolcraft sherman, the re- publican candidate for president, which is once recorded in his testi- mony before the Investigating commit tee, which completely exposes the un- seriousness of the mighty reform movement, and a second time recorded when he voted to accept the commit tees report, We refer MT, Lilley's friends to Mir. sherman for an opinion of his fitness for public office and let ours slide.
 While we are on the uncongenlal subject of our otherwise esteemed contemporaries we would have a word with the Norwich Bulletin. Says that newspaper; If Congressman Lil- ley has been calling congressman grafters, as 1t (The Journal-Couricr) declares, he did so because he had the evidence of It." Where Is 1t? He did not present it to the committee, though given every conceivable chance to do so. He did not present 1t to the house of representatives though the editor of this newspaper heard him boast he would do so the moment the adverse report which he was prepared for, was made. He has not presented 1t to the voters of Connecticut whom he wishes to have elect him governor. Come old friends. let the republican party nominate whom 1t pleases. That is not our business. But let us protest against the nomination by any party of man whose actual case is not un- derstood by the people and who. if 1t was, could not carry single town in- cluding his own.

THE GREATEST RACE.

The world-at-large has the sports manlike prospect of being able to play the part of judge In a great interna- tional race to the poles of the earth. Lieutenant Ernest IT. Shackleton, of the British navy with Union Jack presented to him by Queen Alexandra of England Is hastening toward the south pole with all possible speed, while, at the same time. Commander Robert F. Peary, with the earnest we'll wishes of the President of the United States and flag presented to him by the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton, is hurrying toward the north pole The latter emblem is a beautiful lib erty and peace" flag, made of silk and consisting of the stars and Stripes sur rounded by broad field of white Just why the peace" part of the flag should be necessary in the frozen Far North, where, if anywhere, snow and ice and sky unite to compel peace. is not en- tirely apparent.
 The race" will be no short nor easy struggle. Even the varied vicissitudes of the New York-to-P Paris automobile racers will fade into mere child's play. At best the result cannot be known for two years, but so great would be the accomplishment of reaching either pole that no waning of enthusiasm or expectancy need be feared in the in- terim.
 General A ". Greedy. himself an ex- plorer of the vast frozen regions of no mean fame, has given the race new aspect in an interview at Interlaken. He says everybody seems certain of the sure success of Commander Peary this time. yet. after all, 1t will all prove q matter of chance. Commander 1 Peary's second expedition was calcu- lated to attain almost certain success. on the basis of experience obtained in the first expedition he said, but he
 arrived under conditions quite different and failed" The element of chance is always to be regretted in sportsman like contests, whether at the Olympic games or in great race for the poles of the earth. Yet it seema certain that the time wil lcome when the right arc
 tic or antarctic explorer will arrive at
 the fields of snow and ice at just the right time for Just the right condi- tions, Then the pole will be reached. 4 We Americans have great hopes for the success of our brave explorer. To place the Stars and Stripes the first of
 any flag at the north pole would be nc mean accomplishment May the most
 favorable of conditions attend the
 "Britishers" undertaking, as we'll. The
 world does not want the Trace" won or
 technicalities, May they each bring

mN PROCESS OF DEpEAT.o

"The Woman's suffrage movement is in process of defeat and extinction at the hands of the women themselves" writes Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the nov ollSt, as she opens the latest chapter in this fight for the ballot-a chapter that is unique in that 1t Is the wom- an who opposes and the man, Israel who advocates. The wom- ans suffragists have made themselves much Tn evidence of late in London. As the New York World says, "They have murdered order, pummelled po- llcemen, broken minor laws and sought the cheap martyrdom of comfortable cells"
 It has been these incidents that has brought forth the above statement of Mrs Ward, Speaking specifically of the American woman's suffrage move- ment she points out how we have the school suffrage in twenty-five states, but that even in this field, so well suited to them, they have acted so un- advisedly, and have brought such un- wise pressure to bear upon legisla- lures and public officials that they have only excited general disapproval and opposition on all sides, there not being a woman on the New York or the Bos- ton boards of education. As novelist, who has studied womens makeup as one of them only can, Mrs. Ward comes to the conclusion that the suffrage in such uncertain hands would be nothing short of a menace to society.
 Mir Zangwill. on the other hand, as the advocate of the suffrage, objects to this abject prostration before his sex" As Mrs. Ward has studied wom- en. he has studied men and has seen mans "boundlees vanity, selnshness and hysterical emotionallsm." He comes to the conclusion that men are less At for the ballot than woman and scores Mrs. Ward for chasing her sex among the minors, criminals, idiots and lunatics, none of whom has the bal lot. "We cannot thank Mrs. Ward of Mir. Zangwill for making our common humanity look so cheap" says the New Yorw Evening Post. This Is quite the most horrible predicament in which any one has yet landed us'
 But, curiously enough, in his altruis- tic fight for the women. MT. Zangwil finds good cause for real discourage. nent. That fight is doubly hard ir which one does not have the support and cooperation of those for whom one is fighting Mrs. Wards philosophy would seem to be only that of one out of q number who are similarly minded The London Express has Just complet. ed and published the results of an ex. tenslve poll of It's readers on tho wom. ans suffrage question. It finds 6O.O0t men and 5o.OOO women in opposition as compared with 13.000 men and 3s,. 900 women favorable to it. But, o the latter number. fully 10000 favored a limited suffrage If this is the cas, in London. which has been the cente
 of the woman's suffrage movement fol
 some time past, 1t is not to be expect ed that far different results would com, from a poll in this country, even fl

 ry, Mrs, Ward seems to have the bet ter of the argument.

Readers suffering with effects of
constipation should know that the lin
ing of the intestines is composed OF
millions of little suction pumps which
suck in the nutrition from food as Il
passes through the body. If the food
does not pass fast enough, il decays,
forms poisons and gases and then
these tiny suction pumps absorb tox-
ic poisons instead of pure nutrition
elements.
This creates an i'll feeling sometimes

WASTE MAKES WEALTH
IT'S DEMONSTRATED
Tons OF Tin Secured From
Ash Barrels.

Washington, D, c.. Oct12.-Waste
makes wealth. This has the sound Of
crazy paradox or of meaningless
piece of ALTERATION. But it is the
truth, nevertheless. See for yourself:
During the last year, according to
the geological survey, sixteen com
panies in the United States recovered
tin amounting to 1862 short tons, on
which a valuation of 1924, 404 was
placed"
Much of this tin was undoubtedly
thrown into ash barrels and back yards
by housekeepers habitually accustomed
in that manner to get rid of the dirt
Yet that 1862 short tons-2,O 900
pound tons-of tin refuse, easily con-
vertiblc into new tin products, was a
larger amount than any country on
this side of the world produced last
year. 1t was about ITO times more
than the United States mined. Most
of the tin comes originally from the
Straits settlements. But this country
shares with South Wales the distinc-
ton of leading in the manufacture of
tin plate. In the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1907, the United States i'm
ported 96,Ooo,00O pounds, valued at a
little more than S3S,00OOOO. This was
tin in a crude state. Apparently, the
housekeepers throw away every day
more tin than the world mines.

liable that can be construed as for the
uplift or the lettering of the condition
of the southern negro? No. If Mr..
Bryan had. he would have lost the
solid south. The solid south the main
stay of the party.
The democratic party has much to
say about the invasion of the country
by men not of the Caucasian race.
The democratic party has not one
word to say in it's platform about the
condition of the millions of negroes
in the south.
In this respect the republican party
not only has declared in its platform
for the restoration of suffrage to the
negro--it has record since the be-
ginning of the party which stands out
straight and unequiyocal And in
that record Abraham Lincoln was the
most auspicuous figure.
Is there in that time any der
tic name or body of men who have
been against that policy of the repub-
lican party? That is the reason why
the name of Lincoln is impossible OF
use by that party and does not re-
quire copyright. -as.. --
Is there any parallel with the rec
ord of Lincoln besides story telling.
which Marshall finds in his own
case?
Is the cause of freedom and emanci-
patton the one in which Marshall is
engaged?
How about freeing the state from
the Vaccinations of Lamb and Tag
CART. Will he free the people from
the Brewery Trust? If so Marshall
would better free himself first before
he starts out under the name of eman-
cipator and uses the name Of Lincoln.
Is Marshall serious or is this some
of his reputed wit. Marshall as Abe
Lincoln is a little humorous. If this
were the time of the sixties Marshall
would have been Copper Head or a
knight of the Golden Circle and hunt
ed down by Oliver Morton. In these
days he fights in the glorious army
of the Brewery Trust.
