HEARD IN PASSING.

Those Wright brothers have the right pluck. While one is suffering in this country from a fall from his flying machine, another is breaking records on a similar contrivance across the ocean. Neither of them is discouraged by disaster.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The fact that Lieutenant-G Governor Chanler of New York state has a barrel is the most encouraging news the democratic campaign committee has received during the present cam paign. If the republicans could only find a similar angel, wouldn't it be nice.-Bridgepor Post.
 William McCabe of Baltimore, better known as Bill" celebrated his 105th birthday this week and when asked to what he attributed his long life he replied: ''Balti- more air, good rum and tobacco. ," What are people to do in the face of such testimony? Here are books, professional men and sometimes well meaning women, none of whom perhaps with any experience, tellinJ us that rum and tobacco are bad for us, while Bill" McCabe comes along with his 105 years and says they are the only things that have kept him here so long. Bill" seems to have the evidence, the only difficulty about it being that 1t lacks corrobor- ation.-New Britain Herald

Are there any honest and truthful men in this country holding positions of trust and prominence? If so will some one please trot them out? Now after all the controversy it really looks as though that letter from the dead, supposed to be the words of the late Grover Cleveland, is fake, and even was denounced as such by Mrs Cleveland when she said: T do not believe it is genuine" Those editors who recognized Cleveland all through it will now have a chance to change their opinions. What won't the politicians do to gain a point, even the president of the United States has allowed him. self to become involved in a tongue thrashing affair that is not to his credit. He was warned to keep out of it, but he might as well be asked to stay away from hunting lions in Africa. He is one of those kind of men on whom such argument Is only waste of time. The disclosure of

Charles G. Dawes, once comptrol- Ter of the currency, now like all peo- pie who have held that office, a f. nancial power in the land, once wrote a book on American banking, says one writer. In that book he took strong grounds in behalf of the guaranty of bank deposits as urged by Mir Bryan. When this fact was brought out several days ago MT Dawes pleaded that his expression in favor of that doctrine was an error of his early youth, and that now he was convinced that it was decidedly an error. The explanation makes one wonder whether when MT Dawes was depositing money in a bank he did not believe as he then wrote that the bankers should give him secur- ity for his deposits, and that he re- pudiates that expression now because he is taking deposits instead of mak- ing them. The shoe seems to be on MT Dawes other foot.

We have now witnessed de- crease in a multitude of industries which for a decade showed only in creases. Reports published by the interstate commerce commission re- veal a decrease of 31 per cent in railway earnings per mile, writes a prominent railroad man in the Oc- tober Appleton's. At the same time the expenses in their ratio to earn ings rose from 67 per cent to 76 per cent. AS the result felt by the railroads, throughout the continent 1,500,000 men, women and children who were dependent on railways are now without income. Why have the railroads been singled out for at- tack? The answer is simple. A factory or any other business, if as saulted by legislation, could close or move to a friendlier and saner com munity. But the railroad must con- tinue to operate, even at a loss. Anyone can stone and hit so per- manent and conspicuous target. While the railroads constitute the greatest value in America, next to the soil on which We live, their per cent of profit is far less than in oth- CT industries. In manufacturing, the profit is from 15 to 40 per cent. In the banking business it is from 10 to 50 per cent. The profit from rail- way enterprise is about 4 per cent.
 Of the many influences which di- rect the industrial development of country, none are of greater im- portance than those of transporta- tion and the water courses are na- lures highways, says writer in the Engineering Magazine. Water trans portation represents the earliest and, under proper conditions, the most economical means of conveyance; it was so when the towpath was as much in evidence as is now the steel track, and it will be so again. But in Americas rapid industrial devel- opment of the recent past, water transportation appeared too slow, too inadequate to meet the great ex- pansion, to keep up with the rapid advance of the pioneers; railroads were demanded; and because their success, 1t was thought, permitted of no water transportation competi- tion, railroads were built and can- als abandoned. Now we are return ing to first and sound principles. We are realizing the error and fully ap- preciate the mischief done. Rail- roads alone, after all. cannot keep up with the enormous rapidity of the pioneers progress, cannot handle the grain he raises when the crop is good, and when times are little off they cannot secure the funds to meet necessary betterments. Railroads put the canals out Of business, but it will fall to inland water trans portation on a proper scale, togeth- CT and in cooperation with the best equipped railroad system which can be developed, to meet the greater transportation requirements of the future industrial expansion.

the past week has set the thinking people thinking and many of them are asking themselves the question. Where are We drifting to and what is this country coming to when the president of the United States is de- nounced as liar and a four flusher. There was time when no ordinary man would dare say such thing,
 The many conventions which have been held in Washington have at last brought home to the residents of that city that 1t is poorly provided with restaurants where moderate prices prevail To obviate this lack which would be keenly felt by for eigners who are accustomed to dine much better and at much cheaper prices than Americans, huge res taurant is being added to the muse um by a number of church women who expect to be able to provide meals for 2,O00 delegates daily. En- tertainments of many sorts are be- ing arranged for the delegates, nos tably a garden party in the white house grounds by the president and Mrs Roosevelt. Many sight seeing trips are also on the programme and not the least of the preparations for the comfort of the visitors Is the appointment of corps of interpre- ters for all of the Europeans and a special one for the Japanese who may attend.

EXPENSES.
Campaign Schedule and Assess
ments Not Fixed at the Meet
Ing Friday.

The county Democratic execu.
tive committee met in the court
house Friday to arrange for the
senatorial campaign meeting here
next Wednesday.

to the expense Of entertaining the
candi lates, as it would not be Just
to make the county candidates pay
for the entertainment Of the state
candidates.
1t was also decided to held the
meeting Wednesday in the court
house. This will save the expense
of erecting stand for the speak

make the assessments Of the coun-
ty candidates much lighter this
year than usual.

amount Of the assessments, nor
did they arrange the schedule Of
county campaign meetings, nor
fix the time for closing the entries
Of candidates. This will be dorc at
q later meeting, to be called by
the chairman.
The committee decided to have
the names Of the candidates this
year printed on the tickets in al
phabetical order. Col Drake, at
the state convention, tried to get
a clause to that affect inserted in tho
constitution of the party, but it
was decided to leave it to each
county to arrange the names on
the tickets.
The committee wishes to call
attention to the fact that all voters
must be enrolled at least five days
before the first primary. Under
the new rules Of the party, no one
will be allowed to vote whose name
is not enrolled.

call attention Of all candidates to
the law which requires them to
file accounts of their campaign ex-
penses before and after the pri~
