agreed, unanimously, with his sngges- ton that winning presidential ticket would be Senator Barnum and Charles E. Hughes. Preceding the play and be- tween the acts, Decker's orchestra of five pieces discoursed most excellent music and they also furnished music for the dance which followed. On their ar rlval at Lime Rock, the players were sumptuously entertained at the hotel and were also provided with refreshments warm spot in their hearts for the Lime Rock people and were glad of the oppor- tunity to be of assistance to their band. \ "Nevada" Success
 Nevada" the Board of Trade drama presented by local amateurs in Town Hall Thursday and Friday evenings for the benefit of the fire hose fund was success dramatically, socially and fi- nancially and the gross receipts were $173.45. The general verdict seems to be that the respective roles were sus- tained ill & manner that gives no oppor-
 
 tunity for discrimination. Each person played the part to the best of his or her ability and the two large audiences ex- pressed their utmost satisfaction and pleasure by liberal applause during the performances and to the members of the cast afterward. One very amusing and entertaining feature of both evenings was the speciality between the acts by A. V. A Felten as Sig. Macaroni Feltoni, an Italian count out of job. He rendered IS or 20 verses of local hits and his tramp makeup was the best ever seen here in fact he was so completely disguised that he was recognized by few ] persons the first night. At the oonclu- sion of Friday evenings play, a dance was held in which about 25 couples par tioipated. The music, and good music 1t was too, was furnished by John Decker, violinist, of Millerton. H. V. Eggleston, oornetist, of Lime Rock and D. w. Smaller, pianist of Winsted. The Board of Trade and the players ex- press their thanks for the generous patronage. The net receipts will be somewhat less than s1o0.

] REFoREsTATIoN

There is no national problem before the American people of this generation which is of greater importance than that of the preservation and restoration of the forests.
 Adverse developments of the future surely will come if the work of forest protection and reforestation is not ener- getically and ceaselessly continued.
 It isn't only the supply of lumber that depends upon the maintenance of for ests, but also, the water supplies, and therefore the health of communities, and the prosperity of the fishing industry are so dependent.
 At the present rate of cutting, the re maining standing timber in this state will be all down in the course of about 90 years. ..
 More forest lands must be acquired by the state and trees must be planted by the million, year after year else there will be barren tracks in place of the forests, and the streams will be alter nately raging torrents and puny, slug gish rivulets. % ..
 Something has already been done by this state for the preservation and resto ration of the forests; much more mus bs done.
 It is the duty of the Legislature to se' to it that It is done, promptly, effectively and continuously.

oLD-AGE PENSION LAW.

4 The Old-agc pension law enacted b,
the last parliament is now in effect II
England. It provides Il pension of Sis
week for poor persons over seventy
years OF age.
1t was expected that there would be
a rush for application blanks, and pro-
visions were made to meet the demand.
But 1t seems that quite few of the old
| people cannot prove their age. They
| have no certificates OF birth, and many
| of them, it Is said. were quite wroth
! with the government when 1t WAS
found that their mere word as to their
ages could not be accepted.
Some Of the poor decline to fill out the
papers and apply for aid There is a
feeling of pride among them. They say
that they have never accepted parish
relief. ana do not propose to now. They
can see no difference. no distinction,
between accepting a weekly pension
and accepting charity, and 10 they will

is just as much entitled to pension
as is the ofticeholdcr who has, per-
haps, had larger earnings all his lfe

ton Is that the prospect of a pens

But If that is an argument at all II Is
an argument against all pensions and

we think that what the Journal says
is perfectly true, but VIC also think tflat
its argument does net go TO the rooe

The masses Of the people do not. as

wealth has been attained by otner
means than by some sort of misuse OF
even OF usurpaiion OF the functions
OF government. Thus we have never
heard OF any criticisms of Edison on.
account or his wealth. People hear
complacently of the financial gains OF
authors, explorers, scientists, inventors
achieved In the course of discoveries
or as the result Of individual genius and
perseverance. 1t is only when the peo-
pie suspect or perceive the Hleddling
of business men or corporations with
the elections and work of legislators or,
of Congress, or when it Is asserted that
certain forms of business receive IA
yors from, and so become, us it We're,
partners with. the government for the
express purpose of gain at the expense
of the public, that the people get eX-
asperntcd al the sight of swollen for
tunes.
When wealth is used largely to bene-
fit and not to fleece the public: when
1t promotes the public welfare without
trying to secure a monopoly OF natural
resources. or of public franchises and
other privileges. the people. at least in
these days, have not as yet shown any
to criticize accumulated
wealth. The source OF the unrest is
the suspicion that accumulated capital
seeks to usurp some Of the functions of
government.
