 Narrow Escape
 There was very narrow escape from a collision between two automobiles on Parsons corner Sunday. The machines were approaching from opposite direct ions, each running about 20 miles per hour. Neither driver slackened his speed or gave any sort of warming when he approached the corner although it is absolutely impossible to see around the turn at this point. Both drivers acted quickly, when they realized the prsdica- ment, and when the machines passed there was not more than two inches of space between the wheels. It Is remark able that serious accident has not oc- cured ere this on this corner. Citizens who have made it point to take especial note, tell us that not one driver in five gives the slightest warning when ap- preaching this point and that but few lacken speed. If this negligence con- tinues, the town authorities should de- wise some means of putting a stop to it. Twenty miles per hour when rounding 8 street corner, may be . speed "com. mensurate with public safety" but we doubt 1t.

DIVISION OF THE TOWN
pr. D, M. Wilcox Presents Interes sting
 Volume to the State


 Dr. D. M Wilcox of Lee, Mass. has just presented to the state library, a bound volume containing the town re- ports of the town of Canaan from 1850 to 1900. In the volume are also photo graphs of the town and programs ot con- ventions, entertainments and other will lage activities transpiring from time to time, the whole making most valuable and interesting collection. In the se- lectmen's report for 1858 is contained thereport of the agreement for the di- vision of the towns of Canaan and North Canaan. The report begins with the following statement:
 "The selectsnen of Canaan respect. fully report that in pursuance of an act of the last Legislature of this state, dividing the town of Canaan and au- thorizing them, together with the se- lectmen of the new town of North Canaan to divide the town paupers, debts funds and other property of the original town of Canaan; that they have discharged that duty in the best man her they were able and though they dc not expect that their doings will be approved by all, yet they hope that nc serious error has been committed"
 It would seem that the selectmen did not encounter entirely smooth sailing and that some of the paupers. debts funds and maybe some taxpayers were not handled to everybody's satisfaction But then they did not expect to be 'ap- proved by all. ."-Courant.

Some ot the automobilists of this state are becoming frightened lest the next legislature repeal the model automo- bile law' and substitute something much more stringent. And if the law is repealed, the autoists will have no one to blame but themselves. It will make little difference, however, to the man who runs his machine carefully, what sort of law is enacted. No law will ever be made that will interfere with the man who observes the rights of others and who has due regard for public safety when operating his car.

Not much stock is taken in the report that the opposition to the gubernatorial nomination of George W. Lilley was inspired by the submarine boat people. We cannot see what objection they could have to h1s being governor of Connecticut. Were he a candidate for large it would be an en- tirely different proposition. AS gover- nor of Connecticut he would be no ob- stacle in their path but as congressman at-large he would be a serious obstacle if he continued his former policy. We opine that the Lilley opposition came from a source nearer home.

There was some good, hard horse sense in the letter which THE NEWS published last week from Hoyal K. Southwick of Cornwall relative to voters attending the party caucuses. In nearly every village in this section caucuses are slimly attended. MT. Southwick is absolutely right when he says that the man who simply goes to the polls once a year. tucks ballot into the box and then goes home again, has no reason to complain if the proper men do not rep resent his town ill public office. It is his duty to attend the primaries and do what he can toward bringing about the nomination of men of the proper calibre

loss will probably be between $1,000
and $1,000.
