chased by you.

to the public, and how could we afford to spend
thousands of dollars to tell you about it unless we
positively knew and were sure of the merits OF
Kodol.
We couldn't-it would bankrupt us
But we know the perits of Kodol and we want
you to know
A perfect dlgester must contain many ingred-
tents, each In proper proportion.
1t must be liquid, because all those ingred-
tents cannot be put into dry form.
1t must be able to digest any food, or any
mixture Of foods, and completely.
kodol does that, even in glass test tube.
No other digester can.

\ Suggested Resolve.

To tho Editor of the Kick Column:
 New Years day Is fast approaching With fl will come tbc countless good resolves which are characteristic of the day, resolves unfortunately which are quite universally forgotten when tho day s Let me suggest to all good citizens of New Haven and of the state of Connecticut certain very worthy resolve, of which they may not think. Let me suggest that they incorporate it along with all their ant-drinls and anti-smoke good intentions another one but, unlike the latter, that they stick to It.
 The coming session of the CounccU. cut legislature will soon convene. it promises 10 he memorable one Somc very interesting matters are sure to come up Not the least of these s the proposition for greater New Haven, Others will suggest themselves upon a moments thought Why not resolve that we will keep our weather eye upon that legislature from now on? There are many dscredltabe bits of legislation which cannot possibly be put through if the public Is up to snun and know exactly what Is going on.
 Resolve 10 keep your eye on the leg islaturc, say [.

have been carefully studied as avall- ahlo sites for the school in the future. The secretary of the treasury has finally come to the conclusion that the New London thirteen acre reservation Is the most available and best adapted The reservation ia now under tho con trol of tho war department, but the latter has sIgnifed its willingness to turn lt over to the treasury depart mont, provided t can obtain the per mission of congress
 New London has harbor which is unexccled for its size anywhere along the coast II is protected and navig able The largest of ships can drop anchor there without the least incon- venience. Such a harbor situated as 1t is right at the mouth of Long Island sound and at an entrance to the con- tinents largest metropolis, should cer- tainly be used at every oportunity. The Fort Trumhull reservation is of little practical use to the war department at present With a little inexpensive TO modelling, it could be made an ideal and beautiful spot for cadet school such as has been suggested On the other hand it would mean much to the city of New London should such a school be established there.

TERMINAL ARRANGEMENTS.

The arrangements which the New Haven road finds itself able to make in the matter of New York terminal are, of course, most vital not only to if, but to New Haven and all Connec- ticut and New England as well If is obvious that the next few years will see marvellous changes in the railroad accommodations of New York city. A glance into the deep cuts now yawn- ing where the New York Central and the Pennsylvania are to have their mighty depots visiby prophecies if, and one has but to pick up the paper and read Of such undertakings ae the proposed big iron railroad bridge over Hell Gate, threo miles long and with an enormous arch one thousand feet in the clear, to feel restless expoc- tancy as 10 what the future may de- velop.
 The day is fast approaching when the New Haven system must have some New York terminal arrange
The morning journal-courier., 1908-12-28

menta worthy Of it and of the section | serves With the many Improve ments which have been installed along It's lines within the last few years, tho hope certainly can be held that before long lt will have its own terminal In Now York, which Is equally up to date, From, time to time there are rumors of such a terminal being planned and even announced In the meantime lt Is advantageous that the best terms possible be obtained from the Central for the use of It's tracks It would certainly seem from It's pres ent action that the Central fears the loss of a profitable patron, who may make more advantageous arrange ments of its own elsewhere.
 on the face of It, If has been quite out of proportion that the New Ha- Ven should have been called upon to pay a charge of one-third of the entire cost of the maintenance of the great Grand Central terminal station in tae past At such time of upneavals as the present, for example, the ex- penses of maintenance at that termin- al must he very excessive. With tho completion of the new and enlarged depot they will be very great, too, Tho new agreement just entered upon by the New Haven road with the Central Is far better one than the ola. With provision for certain adjustments from time 10 time, provides for the payment of about seven cents per passenger carried over the Central tracks from Woodlawn to 57th street, and a sliding scale upon the terminal charges below there providing for diminished payments, should the pass engers entering the Grand Central sta- tion be decreased in number and cn- ter New York by another route and to another terminal station.

THE CADETS SCHOOL

It is to be hoped that the authorities at Washington will see fit to establish the training school for the cadets Of the revenue cutter service at the mjl- tary reservation at Fort rrumbnll in New London harbor Naturally our local pride Is such that we would like to see such a school established in our own New Haven harbor but we realize that New London has special advan- tages which New Haven cannot offer and if New Haven cannot have such a school, New London is our next best choice
 Tn the past this school for the rev enue service cadets has been located at Arundel Cove, Md not many miles from Baltimore This location has proved to be unsatisfactory in many ways, not the least of which has been its inacessibilty and the fact that it's surroundings have been far from ideal for such an institution Many places

THE TAX coMMIssIoNEus' REPORT.

A more careful study of the excellent report made by state Tax commis- sioner William II Corbin to Governor Woodruff shows us that we uneou sciously and of course unintentionally did the commissioner an injustice which we hasten to correct He did not recommend the disfranchisement of those who dodge their poll and military taxes. whatever his private opinion may be of those who are liable under the law and are abundantly able 10 pay and yet do not
 Where we became confused was when we attempted to comment on the report from nasty newspaper publi cation of it's essential points We should have gone to the report itself. There we would have found, what we have since found, that the idea of dis franchsement for those who eyade their tax responsibilities in the way mentioned was suggested by number of town officials, who have been ag gravated by their failure to compel payment and who could find no other method in forcing compliance with the law In the judgment of the commmis- sioner this method is impracticable, in spite of the fact that such provision is found in the statutes of Pennsyl- vania and until recently was included among those of the state of Massachu setts If Connecticut was to undertake such measure of compulsion lt would be probably necessary to so amend the corrupt practices law as to provide against the payment or poll taxes by political agents, which they would gladly do in return for the support which would come to their candidates.
 With the tax commissioner doubtful to say the least as to the advisabiity of using the power of disfranchisement to enforce the payment of taxes, the situation resolves itself into a discus sion over the enforcement of the law as 1t is Here Mir Corbin is definite and explicit Either the law should be enforced uniformly throughout the state or 1t should be repealed He says "The present method of strict enforcement of the statutes both in the assessments and collections of these taxes in some towns and practically ignoring the same in others is unjust and indefensihlc, and only weakcns our respect for the law" To overcome this evil 1t would be well 10 try out the commissioners recommendation, that power be given the each town or city to appoint special officer to enroll the poll and military subjects and collect the tax from those having no prop erty by house to house canvass. He believes that 1t would result in a more uniform, and satisfactory outcome.
 The incoming legislature will do well to keep in close touch with the tax commissioner, who appears to be fnd- ing the way out of many perpleXing difficulties.

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

In general sort of way most citi- 2ens will admit an intangible sort of powerful influence yielded by the press Of the country Without knowing any particular or specific instances, people will tell one that this influence Is gen erally exercised for better and higher things, though they are not quite sure but that they have been imposed upon in this matter hy one of those country wide hallueinations which every one meets with at one time or another
 It Is undoubtedly and lamentably the case that newspaper influence can he, has been and perhaps. is being used for evil as we'll as for good ends There have been those to say that the yellow" Journals of New York and others of our large cities were largely responsible for arousing that intense feeling which finally led us to under take the late Spanish war Some would tell ns that at the very doors Of these same journals may be placed the responsibility for the llfe-blood of late lamented President Mckinley There may he justice or not in these serious charges, but certainly the conclusion Is inevitable that the power of the press, whether for good or evil is undoubted- ly very great lt Is probably far greater than most may imagine.
 Scarcely a day passes when here does not como to light some new evil dencc of journalistic enthusiasms en- rolled in the cause of better and higher citizenship. It is a serious in- justice to say that our newspapers from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, which collect funds for and conduct public charities almost without number. do SO solely for sclf-advertisement It is not SO. TO select at random, one can- net possibly see any grea' advertise mcnt for the New York Herald in urg- ing a pure milk dairy for tho poor in Central Park, for the Indianapolis News in conducting an extensive Christmas fund for the benefit of the aged or for New York Life in continuing year af- ter year its well-known summer outing farm for the poor shut-in children of the New York tenemcnts.
 The newspapers of America today are doing no more commendable work than in our largest cities, where they are almost without exception fighting for better municipal moral conditions. Another example of this Just comes to light in Chicago. The Windy City has been shamed for some years past by a dsrcputable annual dance which has been attended by all its notorious char acters male and female (they do not deserve to be called men and womcm. and known as the First Ward Demo- cratic ball one of these affairs was held a fortnight ago, and it looks to- day as if it would he the last thanks to the activities of the Chicago news papers. which have done heroic work in showing It's evils and the necessity for it's abandonment
 Newspaper influence and power will widen Just as newspapers are more and more read, and correspondingly 1t behooves newspaper men to look well to every word they write, for they write not as one man to another but as one man to multitudes

A GOVERNORS USEFULNESS.

Our esteemed contemporary the New Haven Union, revives in convincing manner a discussion which involved the best use to which governors may be put at the moment of their greatest of hcal development Says the Union: Tt has always seemed to some of us that 1t would be a good idea to have the outgoing governor, who has been in office two years, as tho case may he. tell something about what he thinks of the states needs; the improvements that are required; wherein economy in the direction of state affairs could be practlced and thereby save to the state thousands of dollars; what changes in our state institutions or the adminis- tration of the same were imperative
 It has always been one of the curious anomalies of our state organization that 1t is on with the new love before the caresses of the old love have cooled IsWe Burn to a newly inaugurated gov ernor, to whom the duties of the office are strange and who is unfamiliar with the peculiar needs which develop in institutions while they are under the care of men officially over them, as If he possessed some magic ability which was possessed by no one of his predecessors. The retiring governor to whom state needs have been reveal cd as they only can be revealed to those who have come in touch with them practically, we set free without so much as wondering if it is not pos sible that he actually knows better than anybody else the things we want most to know in order to put our po- lltical household in more orderly shape. When one comes to think of 1t sober ly, 1t all appears very absurd and H. logical.
 Says the Union: 'Ts there any man in the state who will question the statement that Governor Woodruff, if he had to read farewell message to the people, would make some very in- teresting remarks on the conduct of state affairs, as he has observed them in his two years at Hartford" It oc- CUTS to Us that the query might be put in this way Would 1t not be a good idea, when the legislative committee waits upon Governor Woodruff, be- fore his successor is inaugurated, to ask if he has any word to send to the general assembly, for him to say "Yos" and then proceed to give it thc benefit of his experience and the people the ad- vantage of his knowledge. Many use full precedents have been established as result Of the Woodruff administra- tion and 1t would be a good thing for all concerned if the governor would now create the precedent of making the retirement of a governor signin- cant of something useful to the state at large.

A WINTER LOVE SONG.

The sad fields yelled in falling snow They are not sad to me: Not chill to me the winds that blow, However chill they bc. The eddylng flakes that speed away, With music they drift down Through myriad, lacing branches gray, On dead leaves crisp and brown. No bloom upon the whining hill, No leaf upon the tree; The music Is sad music--still, II Is not sad to mo For song with my hearts mufied
 might
 Keeps measure blow for blow; My loves sweet breast IS warm and
 white
 And softer than tho snow
