The democrats all around are very jubilant over the nomination by the republicans of George L. Lii. ley and say that never have the chances looked so bright for carry. ing Connecticut since the campaign of Luzon B. Morris in the early nine ties.-Hartford Times.
 We'll, we'll, now we know why the Times was so anxious for Lilley's nomination. All's we'll that ends well, but the Times had better let up on hammering Bryan if it would like to see Connecticut have a dem- ocratic governor.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-09-12

MT Lilley's campaign was properly commenced in his home town, and If there was any lack of enthusiasm 1t was not apparent from distance. Judging from last evenings recep- tion in his honor, and judging, too, from the large majority of delegates which clinched his nomination, 1t should be possible for him to secure the election without any speech-mak- ing by himself for himself But there need be no fear that he will deprive himself of this very pleasant feature of the campaign.-Ansonia .Senti- nel.
 Distance lends entertainment to the view. If you were triHe closer you would not detect great amount of enthusiasm. It wasn't even what the democrats expected, or what any ordinary man should get in his home town. The prominent repub- licans were conspicuous, by their absence, except, of course, the office holders. They were out in force,
 
 and why shouldn't they be. If Lil- ley is elected they will be seeking favors from him. The Taft March ing club, IA strong, just gross, cut sorry figure. Some of them were so awkward and ungainly that they carried their torches with out stretched arms as though they were trying to present the thing to some one. The people of Waterbury were promised 500 marchers at one time, later it dropped to 300, but when lights were counted a dozen dozen was all that could be found. Enthusiasm, why dear edi- tor, if Lallier's Military band hadn't enlivened the occasion with up-to- date music the affair would have re- sembled a funeral march. f

Extending from the Wabash River bridge to the West Terra Haute is one of the most interesting pieces of workmanship to be found in that section, says Cement Age of New York. A concrete fence a mile long and fourfeet high has been construct ed and as it extends along the north side of the grade, it is a truly im- posing monument of concrete. It is true there are many structures of greater magnitude, but for general plan and workmanship this concrete fence has no superior. It is con- structed in such a manner as to ap- pear all one piece when in fact it is built in sections of some twenty feet in length. The bottom of each of the arches and the base is built on

New Haven show goers are. getting everything up-tD-date and new at present. The actors and vaudevil. yuns are giving the frequenters of Polis something good this week having. made hit with the follow ing lemon. It must be so for we have the word of that fearless repub- lican paper The Leader for the truth of it. Here it is:
 John-Say Bill, which will you vote for, Taft or Bryan?
 Bill-I'm going to vote for Taft this year, l can vote for Bryan any time.
 Now if that doesn't bring down the house the actors had better hunt up Ayers almanac and get a fresher one.

To very few men is given the, sat- isfaction to enjoy such a spontane- ous and cordial reception as was ac- corded to George L. Lilley on Thurs day night by his townspeople of whatever nationality, sex, creed or political faith. It was a ringing welcome to one of their own city who had been honored by his party throu ghout the state with a nomi- nation to the candidacy for the high est office within their gift.-Repub- lican.
 Do you really think so, or are you trying to deceive yourself as well as the public. The number that turned out was only few more than the 75 or 80 that attended the re- publican primaries earlier in the campaign. Facts is facts.''' ...

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
Of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened IN the medical
world In the case Of Dr. Decatur ID
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist
ot Chicago.
DIR. Dennis , in bis own Office a

oil of wintergreeD, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
tically a sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rhcum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil OF wintergreen alone was found
ineffective. Ii required other mild
ingredients such AS giycsrine and
thymol compound with the winter
green to produce the real eczema cure
This compounded ID. ID. D.. Pres.

IMPROVEMENT IN FARM


To a close observer, there is a
decided difference in the methods
OF farming in many sections Of
our own state, and adjoining
states. With very few exceptions,
there has not been a perceptible
change in the manner of prepar-
ins the ground for planting cot
ton or grain crops since the old
est inhabitant can remember.
The result of such agricultural
enterprises are occasionally sat-
isfactory. but more frequently
indifferent or almost a failure.
In consequence, the sections in
which such methods prevail have
not only failed to keep abreast
with the times, but have fallen a
quarter of a century behind.
Worn out lands, unsightly gull
lies, delapidated houses and fen.
ces, is the unfailing sign OF this
contentment to remain 1T a stand
still. Were this the prevailing
condition Of our country, the
backbone of prosperity would
be paralyzed, and as a nation we
would be classed as a back num-
Der. Such n misfortune, we de.
voutly trust, will never overtake
u nation, or mar the develop
ment of our state.
On the other hand, where wide
awake. progressive citizens have
striven to introduce modern i'm
provements and methods in every
variety of enterprise. a breezy
air of thrift and progress per-
vades every kind Of business.
F'ris ndly compe tition invites to
experiments in untried means Of
improvement, and new and bet
ter methods are promptly adopt
cd.
We trust that the benefits to
be derived from advanced IDEAS
1T agricultural industries will so
deeply interest Lafayette county
farmers as to induce them 10 dis
card good old ways" which
were well enough a gdneration
or so ago, but are now serious
hindrances to development. Let
narrowness and prejudice be laid
aside, and the enlightenment of
the present day bless US as well
as others.

THE CITY SCHOOL.

EDITOR EAGLE: You are al
ways ready to advocate in your
columns whatever will promote
the interests OF the community.
am sure you will give publicity
to a plea for education.
Education has been so long
free in this country that parents
have had little to do beyond pay
Ing their proportion Of the tax
which renders it free" Some
OF us ire old enough TO remem-
Der when our fathers had TO nav
large sums to build school houses
and employ teachers OF collegiate
training. Those expenditures
were made FOR the benefit Of the
family or community. TIE state
finally concluded that what was
good for the family or commune
ty would be good for the COM
monwealth, and 80 it provided
for a statewide" system under
which a school must be maintain
ed in each county or district at
least four months during each
scholastic year Each county
or separate district is allowed To
levy an additional tax to support
its schools for a longer term. \
tax, however, in excess of three
mills on the dollar cannot be
levied without the consent OF a
majority Of the taxpayers OF the
city? The City Council has found
1t necessary to levy and addi-
tlonal tax of two mills in order
to maintain the schools for a term
Of nine months. The school
board approves of the levy. 1t
10 not made the duty of any off,
clsl to procure the consent Of the
taxpayers. This must be done
by the friends and patrons OF the
schools.
II We place the benefits Of the
tax upon the most sordid basis.
that of dollars and cents, it should
be voted. The rental value. and
Of course the price, OF property
will be enhanced beyond the cost
to the owner. The two months
schooling to the small taxpayer
with two or three children will be
small indeed. Ii his property is
assessed at $1,000 tuition for the
two months will cost him 81. II
he has nc children and no real
estate should he not be content
with the benefit to his business
or his town, or altruistic enough
to help his neighbors and friends?
Without the tax the school will
forfeit its utilization with the Uni
versity. The school board. with
the concurrence OF the teachers.
are preparing to enlarge the
course by the addition of another
grade-tne eleventh, in order To
keep pace with standards at the
University, and TO secure an adj.
vance in Latin and Mathematics.
This cannot be done without
the levy. Without it we cannot
expect parents to come or send
their children here in order that
they may attend a school which
has been regarded as one of the
best in the state. Itseems a pity
to allow bright boys and girls to
grow up here under the shadow
OF the University without the
training necessary to enter it.
There is no other way to meet
the needs of the school. The
salaries OF teachers are not high.
and cannot be reduced. Let the
people OF our town catch the
spirit OF Lord Brougham as en-
bodied in an excerpt from a great
speech: LET the soldier be awav
