BROOKLYN BRIEFS

There will be an entertainment at the Third church this evening.
 Mrs Patrick Temple of South Leonard street is entertaining friends from waltham, Mass.
 One of the big horses of the Hellmann Brewing Co died yesterday. 1t has been i'll for some time.
 Memorial day exercises will be held tomorrow in the Duggan. Barn ard. Porter and Town Plot schools.
 The Brooklyn Business men will play their second game of the season tomorrow afternoon when they meet the policemen at the golf grounds. If it Is anything like the game of a year ago between these teams. 1t will be hummer.
 Work Is now going along rapidly on the extension of Clark street. and there Is no reason apparent why it cannot be pushed to a finish. 1t looks as though the city and those that have a grievance would get together on benefits and damages SO that the work will not be impeded by injuHe- tions.
 It seems long time since the Brooklyn Improvement society has held a meeting But 1t is no longer than usual, the last session having been the first Friday of the month. On account of the five Fridays in thIs month. the lapse of time seems a trife longer but the society will hold it's regular monthly meeting a week from to-morrow night

WANT LAWS ENFORCED.
Seventy Five Dollars for Evidence of
 Corrupt Practices.

To the Editor of Democrat:
 The following concerning corrupt practices is being sent to the papers of the state and may be of interest to your readers:
 Ours is a splendid state politically, and is constantly growing better. The situation as to corrupt influencing Of voters cannot be said to be really bad, but as yet there is in one way and another a great deal of such in fluencing. It would seem that only by the irony of fate could this be true. Our fathers were ready to sac rifice all that was dear for that which was dearest-the privilege of voting and voting according to conscience and judgment. But some unworthy sons of worthy sires have so little of either conscience or judgment that they barter their priceless birthright for a pitiable mess of pottage offered by self-seeking demagogue to whom the term politician" can be applied only by besmirching that noble term. IL as far as the nat.ralized ynter and the one of foreign descent IS guilty, of verality, eitae. actively or pass ively, he lends himseis to that which most surely tends to degrads his adopted country below the level of that from which he has thought it worth while to come. Below" for of all forms of government, boss ridden democracy would be the low est.
 We have enough law against cor rupt practices, and undoubtedly the law does much to prevent trespassing by the very fact of its standing on our statute book like a big ugly looking bulldog on a lawn. Moreover, our watchdog has teeth and shows them. But the fact is that he needs, on occasion. something to 'sic i'm on." For many reasons 1t is hard for the average resident of a com munity to do the slicins-on act. We do not wish to put premium on lack of community initiative, but rather to encourage 1t. To appeal to merce- nary motives for law-enforcement is farthest from our wish; bu. we are willing to guarantee that at least the possible cost of getting evidence will be met. Hence the following:
 In every town in the state having a population of 5000 or less the Good League of Connecticut hereby agrees to pay the sum of SIS the the person furnishing evidence which shall result in the first convic- tion, In any such town, of person guilty of corrupt practices in con- nection with the nomination or cleo tion of any member of the general as- semply of 1909-1910. See sections 1894 and 1899, general statites. and chapter 240, public acts of 1907. These volumes can be found in the office of any lawyer, justice of the peace or town clerk.
 The proposition does not include the larger towns because We do not want too big a contract, because they are better able to take care of them- selves, and because the small towns seem to be the chief sinners. Work of getting evidence will need to be quiet ly and skilfully done. sometimes by men used to getting evidence. For write the undersigned. Of course We would not undertake to prosecute on the ground of a merely violation. Let those inter ested save and circulate this notice.

how TO Judge BOOKS.
Would you know whether
the tendency of d book is
good or evil, examine in what
state Of mind you are in when
you lay it down. Has it in
duced you to suspect that
what you have been ac-
customed to think unlawful
may, after all, be innocent,
and that may be han mless
which you have hitherto been
taught to think dangerous?
Has it tended to make you
dissatisfied and impatient un-
der the control of others: and
disposed you to relax in that
self government. without
which both the laws of God
and man tell us there can be
no virtue, and consequently
no happiness? Has it at
tempted to abate your admir-
alton and reverence for what
is great and good, and to d.
minish in you the love of your
country and your fellow be-
ings? Has it addressed it.
self to your vanity, your self
ishnesS, or any other of your
evil propensities? Has it de-
filed the imagination with
what is lOathsOme, or chOked
the heart with what is mon
strOus2 Has it disturbed the
sense of right and wrong,
which the Creator has i'm
planted in the human soul?
Ii soft you are conscious OF
al or any of these effects
or if, having escaped from all
you have felt that such were
the effects it was intended to
produce, throw the book into
the fire, whatever name it
may bear On the title page!
Throw it into the fire, young
man, though it be the gift of
a friend; young lady, away
with the whole set. though it
should be the prominent fur
nlture of a rosewood book
case. There never was such
a rage for book-reading as at
the present time. 1t is a
commendable habit, only one
cannot be too careful in the
selection of books.

On APRIL 9Th, the voters of
this city will be called upon to
elect a full set Of city officers
from Mayor to constable. Du"-
ing the past two years many
have served on the council, some
have given up their Office by
resignation and others have lost
the Office by removal from the
city. Many Of those who have
served have been absolutely
worthless and some have been
good. No one can deny that
many of those who now hold
council positions are honest and
Conscientious. During the next
six weeks is the time for the
voters of WaShburn to consider
the failures of the past, to re-
count the good that has been
done and endeavor to profit by
both. The duty Of choosing a
new council both imposes a re-
sponsibility and affords an op-
portunity which should not be
neglected. If the people so de-
sire they can send men to the
council who will wrestle with the
great questions that Washburn
wants solved.
Men should be elected who
know what they are there for
and should have the good sense
to do what they are chosen to do.
The coming Municipal election
gives the voters the chance to
select men of the right kind, and
we urge all who are interested
in a greater and brighter Wash
burn to interest themselves in
the approaching campaign. 1t
is particularly important that
the city officers and mem bers of
the council should be men who
are fitted for service, who are
progressive and who are willing
to give their time for the city.
No petty politics should be in
fused into Tie campaign, and
fitness should be the only quail
fcation for position. All classes
of people should be represented
in the council. The working
man, the business man, the pro-
fessional man, all should be in
the council. These twelve posi-
tions should not be filed by |
petty politicians, who look after
only personal and special inter
ests, but by men of broad sym
pathies and wide knowledge, of |
high purpose. They should be
men who understand the needs
of Washburn and who will at

The DEATH of Ole Swanby removes
fr ON our midst one of the most loyal
citizens we have had the pleasure oil
knowing. He was always lookinl!
at the bright Size of all questions
and he was especially sanguine oil
the future prosperity of the city.
His confidence was never shaken,
and while il was evident that his
personal trou bles were eating away
his vitality he always had a pleas
ant word for everyone. AS an Of
fetal Of the Ba nix, with which he
had so long been associated he be-
came a confident OF many business
men, and was closely associated
with many of the business institu-
tions of the city.
But what a cowardly thing it is
to take ones Own life. How dbso-
lutely unnecessary. What thought
for the wife and children to carry
with them the rest of their life.
The argument shat there are ex-
tenuating circumstances is all fool
ishness. Only a moral coward or a
mentally unbalanced person will go
to such extremity.

ARE THE ci liz aS 81 Wash burn

New England community IN
which citizens are not permitted
to buy even newspaper? The
experiment has been tried, AND
while it is an entirely new de-
parture from the old established
c ustom, it was not SO bad after
all. The writer is certain that
the closing movement as con-
tenn plated by those who first
demanded it wonld never have
been recognized last Sunday, it
is well to understand that the
law is all powerful and when
used as weapon by determined
men, it can make wonderful
changes even in quiet com
m unity like our own. Talk
about spiking ON the lid. lhe
