ON TO TUE RESCUE
LlIley Deieudsrs Are Wording 0veriIms. Fscls From verilas

To the Editor. of the Democrat.
 If out of his own mouth Mir Lilley Is not already condemned, the editor of the Waterbury Republican will surely finish the job in few more issues. Here is the head line for this morning to be found on tho front page: Some stories; but how about the rest of them?" The Re- publican has told only the easy ones but we must confine ourselves to the limits set by the Republican or 1t will be another. case of mud-slinging It says that the stories referred to in this mornings issue "are but few of the large number of stories of like character that are going the rounds. 7 The idea is l suppose, that 1t is pre- pairing our stomachs against nausea by telling us only few at time. Has anybody heard such stories told of w. J. Bryan or Judge Robertson, or Judge Taft? Anybody. ever say of either of these gentlemen that he was fired" out of gambling house for not paying poker debt? Ger tainly not, because in their case there is not a particle of even smoke. MT Lilley, as candidate, is plastered all over with. the words defense" apology" explanations, ''lies," and he is branded with them in marks that cannot be eradicated. Does Judge Robertson require an explana- tion or defense from anybody?
 E The only thing ever said about Judge Robertson intended to harm him is that he is director in a num- Der of corporations. But just stop and think that large corporations, railroads, banks and others, cannot be operated by single individual, and that it is necessary to have di- rectors. Add to this that 1t is only the best and the cleanest men who are selected for these positions, and that aside from this, not word has ever been said against him.. Let us sustain candidate who Is above s,ls- picion rather than an apology for one. MT Lilley would have us believe that congress of high minded, able men, oufaCounlry repreSentatlVeS, con- spired against him, and that their ac- tion is endorsed and enforced by the very best men in his own party, all without justice or reason. Twenty three distinct charges against him down there in Washington, and he has not defended himself against any of them. We are talking now about the man who wants to be the next governor of the state of Connecticut. He was, quitter down in Washing ton, and he has been winner ever since. If the writer could think for a moment that there is single word or punctuation mark in this com munication that does injustice to MT Lilley, he would be very sorry, in- deed.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

St Patrick's Holy Name society will meet at the church at 6:30 to- morrow evening in order that all may attend the lecture at St Michael's church in Waterville.
 The Colts and the Crescents will play the preliminary game at the Driving park tomorrow. The game is for $50 a side and is, attracting almost as much attention as the big game between the Brooklyn Athletic club team and the All New Haven ag- gregation.
 Nils Rasmussen, father of Hans Rasmussen, was badly injured Mon- day evening by fall at the home of his son on the Bradleyyille road. Mr Rasmussen, who is S6 years of age, rose from his chair about o'clock and started for his room to go to bed He took only one step when he fell and fractured his left hip. The old man was considerably shaken up by the fall, but is now slowly improv- ine.
 The settlement of the differ ences between John Henderson, Jr, and the city over the extension of Clark street seems to be as far away as ever. At meeting of the Brook lyn improvement society last evening the committee appointed two weeks ago to confer with the mayor in re- gard to the matter made it's report. The report was not at all encourag- ing. The mayor informed the con- mittee that he was very anxious to have the matter strengthened out and said the city would gladly give Mir Henderson whatever the property was really worth. But it appears MT Henderson and his attorney. N. A. Bronson, show willingness to have the case go into court. When the city tries to hold conference with the owner he refers them to the law yer, and the lawyer then refers them back to Mir Henderson. Even the members of the Brooklyn Improve ment society committee could do nothing with Mir Henderson Until short time ago he was an active mem Der of the society and pretended to be strongly in favor of the extension.' consequently the members cannot ac- count for the. change that has come over him. The members discussed the matter for some time last even- ing and some rather strong opinions were expressed upon the matter. Ac- cording to the members MT Tender son or MT Bronson will not even place price upon the property. There is an. erroneous impression around that MT Henderson has of-. fered to sell for s4.000, but such is not the case. The members of the Improvement society asked tho mayor if the city would pay $E0O0. thinking they could persuade Mir Henderson to accept this amount, but the city will pay no such price. It is now said that Mir Henderson wants a committee appointed by the board of aldermen that will have full power to act. He wants 1t so they can go to him or MT Bronson, namesa price and settle the matter right there. It is understood the mayor has been ill Brooklyn several times during the past week trying to get an interview with Mir Henderson. No business was transacted at the meeting of the society last evening except the &C., cepting of the resignation of Andrew Frederick as secretary.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Have Estimates Prepared for the Coming Year.

 The sum asked for is $6,3S9 in excess of the estimate for 1908, due largely to the necessity of increas- ing the area of tho garbage collec- tions. $500 to contemplated increase in the expense of the isolation hos pital, $200 in bacteriological ser vice and abort s2.000 for repairs and maintainance of the garbage plant while $500 has been taken of the appropriation for the medical in- spection of schools. It was thought that the board would make a try for a new crematory. but 1t was de- cided to get along with the present one for another year. The board passed resolution endorsing the action of the department of public works in asking for funds to build a comfort station.

QUEER ENTRY FOUND IN ACTS

empt From All Taxes By the
Virginia Legislature. n.

The clerks for the Investigating com
mittee, who were sent to Richmond
Va, to investigate the records anc
look up other data connected with the
Virginia debt question, have discover
ed number of queer entries in the
acts of the Virginia Legislature.
One of the clerks sent copy of an
entry in the acts of session passed
In 1927, to Attorney General Clarke
w. May, which read as follows:
Whereas, it is represented to the
general assembly that William Lynch,
senior, of the county Of Brunswick,
is the father Of thirty-four legitimate
now living; that he has been the hus-
band of four wives, the last of whom
! is now young and healthy and gives
him every assurance Of an increase Of
his numerous progeny, that he was a
soldier in the war of the revolution,
and has been through life an upright
and useful citizen; but that age and
the support Of his numerous family,
have at length rendered him infirm
and poor.
BE it enacted by the general as
sembly, That William Lynch, of the
county Of Brunswick, shall be hereaft-
~ exempt from the payment Of any
public or county tax, levy, charge or
contribution whatever; and it shall not
be lawful for any court, sheriff, depu
ty sheriff, coroner, or other public Of
fcer, within this commonwealth to
demand or receive of the said Lynch,
any such tax, levy, charge or contri-
button.

force from and after the passing
thereof"

/ part Of men like Cooke to howl foul
mouthings at society, after society has
cast them forever from the portals of
responsibility.

RODS of what appears to be temporary
decentralization but it is yet to be
riven from the sheet anchor which
holds it to the mornings of inherent
morality. The home remains sacred
Institution in American conception
the ties which are thus imposed know
no weakening, we believe, with the
changes of time and chance. The av-
erage American, man and woman, re-
quires no moral revolution or revival
to bring then back to recognition Of
the decalogue-to an understanding
Of their responsibilities in domestic
and all other social fundamentals. Oc
casion comes, of course, periodically
when these moral conceptions need to
be called into vital, aggressive battle
Against the ingidious attacks of grad
ually and secretly developed pub
lis wrongs. But at home-at the
hearthstone-with mother, wife, hus-
band, child-the old ideals as they
lived and breathed in the simpler day
of the republic still live in strength
abundant; still breathe the breath OF
untainted atmosphere There be ex
captions, unhappy many of them
men who like this Jere Cooke, debase
what is highest and best in human
character-but they are not of suffi-
cient number to disturb the great sub
structure Of manly honor and woman
faith which yet remain the foundation
OF the country's safety and the bull
wark Of its peoples happiness and
progress.
