TEACHERS MAKE SUGGESTIONS.
For the Betterment of the Schools of
 the Nutmeg State.

For the Betterment of the Schools of
 the Nutmeg State.
 The State Teachers Association held meeting in Meriden last week and thoroughly talked things over. They came to number of conclusions and here are some of them.
 l. The present system of permitting town officials to issue teachers certifi cates has resulted in the employment of many uneducated and untrained persons as teachers and often at wages which no educated teacher could afford to ac- cept Better schools cannot be hoped for so long as there is nothing to hinder the employment of such teachers in the future. It is the sentiment of this body that the sole power to issue certificates to teachers in elementary schools should be vested in the state board of education, and appropriate legislation is respect fully urged upon the next legislature.
 9. It is the sentiment of this associa tion that the state funds should be given to towns for schools under an average at tendance only on condition that not only the wages of teachers, but also their quail. fications, should be. satisfactory to the ssate board of education.
 8. A good superintendent is indispens- able to good schools. It is 6 matter of regret that so many schools exist with merely a nominal supervision. We urge the state board of education to take measures to require more towns to employ skilled superintendents, approved by the state board of education, and to make the application of district super intendent more attractive to able men. 4. District management of schools is obsolete in New England, except in n diminishing portion of Connecticut towns. In many towns the educational reform which underlies all others has a consolidation of schools under town management. We, therefore, urge that the education in favor of consolidation be continued and that the Legislature re- quire towns now under district manage ment to vote on this subject within a year fIom this date.
 4. The benefits of scientific agrlcul ture would be better realized if the ele- ment of agriculture were taught in the rural elementary and from schools. We urge the importance of this subject upon all who dwell or live on farms and who administer to schools for the farmers children.

Barnum, having. been nominated foI senator by the republicans, was en. dorsed by the democrats of his district MT. Kyle, having been nominated by the republicans for the House. has been endorsed by tho democratic caucus which voted to put his name on the ticket and make no party nomination. Mir. Coffin of Windsor Locks is in the same position, except that In his case the democrats took the lead and nominated him before his own party had time to act. At the same time that the Bethel democrats showed such unanimity they put up a candidate for judge of probate against a republican, Judge Wakeman. who has served for many years.

That MT. Dean is busy man may be inferred from the note heads he uses ir his correspondence. They recite the fact that he is dealer in cattle, flour, grain, hardware, dry goods, boots, shoes, rubbers, groceries, peanuts, poultry sup plies, milk, beef, eggs, fruit, honey etc. He also says he has farm of 500 acres a meat market, and that he has fresh eggs from 5000 hens. We cannot con. cieve what the "etc." can possibly refer to as it would seem that everything D man could sell in the town of Canaan is included in the above list.
 Although it would seem that man S, extensively engaged in business could not find time to dabble in politics, MT Dean has accepted the republican nomi- nation for representative from the town of Canaan and will poll large vote in asmuch as he is well and favorably known and popular with all classes ot people.

FALLS VILLAGE INN SOLD.
To Syndicate Composed of Four
 Local Men

To Syndicate Composed of Four
 Local Men.
 "The Inn," the we'll known hotel at Falls Village, was sold last week by D. H. Casey, to local syndicate, consisting of John Bartle, Frank Reed and Dr. A. E. Cobb, of Falls Village and John l.. Owen, of Lime Rock. They propose to put an experienced hotel man in charge and to conduct a hostelry that will be a credit to the village and the community. They state distinctly that no liquor of any sort will be sold to anyone so long no-license column.
 As a result of the activities of Mir and Mrs. Casey. the building is in first-class condition both interior and exterior. It is doubtful if there is village hotel an the state in which the rooms are fur nished better than those of The Inn. The furniture and carpets are new, woodwork newly painted, walls newly papered, steam heat and gas throughout the build ing.
 There is not the slightest doubt that this hotel will be a successful financial venture for the new owners if it is con ducted along proper lines and that this will be done is not questioned in the least.

Dr.. John J. Orton of lakevIIe Was
 Wanted for Crime of Years Ago.
 Dr. John J. Orton of Lakeville was arrested Thursday in Hartford by De- tective Sergeant Santoro on a charge of being fugitive from justice. Word was received from tn, police of Plain field, N. J.. says the Courant, that Dr. Orton was wanted i'll that place to answer charge for perjury but, after being held some time, he was allowed to leave police headquarters.
 It seems that after search which began in 1896, Dr. Orton secured the arrest some days ago of Albert U. Martin, formerly of Hartford, in Plain field. N. J., on 8 charge of embezzle- rnent. Martin was tried and acquitted Wednesday. As soon ns he was released he demanded the arrest of Orton on q charge of perjury. When searched at police station in this city Dr. Orton had in his possession certified copy of the warrant issued in 1896, in which charges were made against Martin.
 When Orton secured Martins arrest he swore that the original warrant existed in this city. State's Attorney H. M. Alcorn refused to extradite Martin from New Jersey because of the length of time that had elapsed since the alleged embezzlemept ard also because of the lack of evidence to hold him. No word was received from the New Jersey off cials and Dr. Orton was discharged.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
R. K. Southwick Points Finger of Con- demnation to Abuse of Liley.
 Cornwall, October 19, 1908


 Editor News: =.=.. ....
 Another nauseating screed from the New London Jeremiah" is at hand This man has continued his lamenta- tions long enough. One is almost tempted to believe he means all he says. He has convinced himself that he is do- ing some good in the world. Many of us think that this campaign of personal abuse has gone far enough.
 Is George s. Palmer the only righteous, the only conscientious, the only fair mlnded man ill Connecticut? Cannot we Ill get at the facts as we'll as he? And cannot we weigh rnd judge evi- dence as well as he can? Or nearly as well?A He may have an extra amount of grey matter ill his skull; but 1t seems to run to condemnation-not justice.
 He is plainly an advocate, not a judge. He is fighting for his side: not to secure justice. do not condemn him for be- ing an advocate. I condemn him for as- suming the pose of mentor and con- science for the rest of us. I condemn him for abusing people, just as honest of purpose as himself, who stand squarely on the other side. MT. Lilley has been in Congress number of years. His career there was creditable to himself and to his state. After the submarine investigation, the majority of the Con- nectlcut delegation in Congress refused to sustain the report of the investiga- tion committee. Who could better judge of the matter than our own con- gressmen from our own state of Con- necticut? No All this howl about the submarine matter, is because it is the only weapon the opponents of MT. Lilley have, and they are trying to make the most of it. My prediction is. that MT. Lilley will be elected governor by good majority. Moreover he will make one of the best governors we ever had. And his name will be remembered with honor, when MT. Palmer shall have dropped into oblivion.

Came Wear 6eing candidate on
 Two Tickets,
 Marshall 0. Dean, republican candi. date for representative in the town of Canaan, had narrow escape last week. The democrats held their caucus al Falls Village and were about to endorse his candidacy when Pope Chapman arose and placed a block under the wheel of endorsement. Pope allowed that while he had nothing agin' MT. Dean, he wasn't on his ticket and if the democrats endorsed him it would look as if there were no democrats left in the town of Canaan, at least not enough to pick candidates from. Pope's eloquence persuaded the other delegates therefore Theodore F. Watson was nominated.

MORE TALK ABOUT
 AN ELECTRIC PLANT
ALONG K0NKAPoT AT MILL RIVER
Owners of tie Rights Say They are
 Simply Holding the Properb-Trol- ley Extension Would Bring Prosper
 ity to Section. .s -..


 | ity to Section. ..= -..
 The idea of harnessing the waters of the Konkapot river is no new idea in Mill River, Mass. The proposition has been more or less discussed for a number of years and in at least one instance ! options were obtained and work was about to be commenced on pole line to sustain wires which were to transmit electric current, in fact the men who formed the Berkshire Power Company had thls stream in mlnd before they es. tablished their plant on the banks of the Housatonic river near Canaan.
 It is estimated that the normal gener- atlng possibility of the Konkapot is 1900 to 200o horse power. Along the banks are several water rights, formerly con stituting portion of paper mill or grist mill properties.
 These rights are now largely owned by Messrs. Bloodgood and Duke, the latter being the wealthy tobacconist.
 The rumor has again gained oiroula- tion that these men are about to begin the construction of one or more electric plants along this stream principally for the purpose of lighting and heating pal atial residences DOW existing or to be built in that territory and. also to fur uish the surplus current to patrons in that vicinity if any such there happen to be. Messrs Bloodgood and Duke do not admit, however, that they have plans in mind for improving that section of Berkshire county but simply state thas they propose hold the property, remark ing that it is "good property to hold"
 The nearest the old stream ever came to generating electric current was few years ago when H. D. Sisson and an En- glishman, named Ogle, purchased 1900 light dynamo aud placed the same in MT. Sisson's paper mill. The plant was nearly in readiness for operation when the Englishman suddenly changed his plans and returned to England conse- quently tho machine was never operated It was the intention of Messrs. Sisson and Ogle to light the mill building and to furnish light to others who might have desired it.
 Mir. Sisson remarked the other day that had the Massachusetts legislature assumed different attitude toward tho New Haven road, that in all probability work on trolley extenslons from Great Harrington to Canaan and lines through Clayton, Mn River and Southfield would now be nearing completion and that the Konkapot waters would proba- bly have turned wheels to make electric current for the operation of the cars on these extensions.
 Had the extensions been constructed. real estate in Mil River and the sur rounding territory would have been worth much more than it is to-day as means of transportation between these sections ard the larger cepters or main lines of the railroad is what has been lacking for many years and has pre- vented that attractive and picturesque portion of the Bay state from developing | as it deserves to develop.

Politics continues to be the chief
interest in Washington despite the
fact that the political news is all one
way. There is still the same deter
mined opposition to Secretary Taft
en- the part of politicians who are
dominated by the interests, An oppo-
sition which is not personal but arises
from the fear that Taft will be loyal
to the Roosevelt policies on one hand
and from hatred of President Roose-
welt on the other. And yet, this OPP
position is accomplishing nothing.
The people are not in sympathy with
it and as long as that is the situation
there seems to be little likelihood of
its success. The one hope of the
anti-Taft crowd is to control the
convention by the use of contesting
delegations from the Southern
States. There are too many wise
politicians in the Republican party,
it is believed, however, to permit
that programme being carried out.
The party had one serious experience
with candidate whose nomination
was tainted with unfairness and
trickery. We refer to the case Of
Folger of New York who was nomi-
mated for Governor and who ran
against Grover Cleveland for the
Governorship of the Empire State.
1t was learned after the convention
that Mr.. Folger had been nominated
by the use of forged telegram and
the result was that Cleveland carried
the State by $4,000 majority. Is it
likely that the Republican party will
repeat that disastrous experiment in
national convention?

THE FARM HOUSE ON THE hill

When the winds are whispering softly
and there's stiffness on the sea,
And the nestlings chirrup gently in
the swaying willow tree,
Then l look out in the twilight and my
quivenne heart stands still,
For | see again in mem'ry, the old
farm house on the hill.
| can hear the lost lambs bleating and
the guinea's rusty calls
As angle with a pinhook near the
cascades spraying falls.
/ can hear the frogs acroaking and the
cadence of the rill
As | see again in mem'ry, the old farm
house on the hill.
l can see the cattle wading in the val
ley bordeTed stream
While the blossoms of the wildwood are
as sweet as childhood's dream.
| forget the whirl Of business and stern
mammon's heartless chill
As ! behold in fancy, the old farm
house on the hill.
! behold the waving wheatfields like a
sea of beaten gold,
As tell some one a story-sweetest
story ever told.
Aud when press hand of mine, Ger
my heart there comes thrill,
For I'm standing meath the shadow Of
the old farm house on the hill.
l catch the cheer of harvesters and the
cradles swish aud whirr
Which comes as music to my soul with
the mem'ries which they stir.
And though Times hand has kindly
dealt, the best grist from Gods

We're those glad days of long ago in
the old farm house on the hill.
Some day I'm going back again, with

To cast aside the weight of years and
once more be a boy.
III drink again the draughts of youth,
until have my fill,
And rest forever and day in the old
