Mr. Maxim, inventor of the so-called noiseless gun, declares. that his inven- tion neither assures the "exterminatiion of game nor the promotion of assassin ation. He calls it the ''quiet shooting gun," and asserts that the only bullet which can be fired really quietly" is of low velocity, which would be inef- fective except at very short ranges. He declares that a high velocity bullet cleaves the air so rapidly that it makes a very perceptible noise and the smash of it's impact cannot be quieted. He. is prompted to this -deprecation of the ''noiseless gum by the somewhat prev alent objection to the marketing of his invention, as indicated by the ap- pearance of bill in the New York Legislature to prohibit the manufac- ture of his gun. It has even been suggested that the Government should have a monopoly of the use of the weapon.

.roo MODEST ARE YOU"

The Young Republican candidacy of F. A. Bartlett for Judge of the City Court against the "Old Republican, candidacy of Judge Foster for renom- nation, recalls an event of the near past. It occurred while MT. Bartlett was. chairman of the Republican Town committed, and when he and MT. Hen ry Lee were the 1ayorial candidates of the 'sYoung'' and "Old' factions, respectively, of their party. A tie be- tween them came up in the Town con- vention, and under the party rules, Chairman Bartlett was called in to break it, which he did by voting for Lee and against himself, greatly to the anger of the "Young Republicans who held that his candidacy represented them and not himself. The principle of manhood melted into courtesies" did not particularly appeal to them; they could find no legitimate place for it in factional warfare. In their be- lief, he should instead have acted upon the contrary principle that "self-love is not 50 vile a sin as self-neglecting."
 A somewhat parallel case is now
 
 pending. In the City Court Judgeship contest, Candidate Bartlett will, as a representative from Bridgeport and as a member of the Judiciary committee, have a voice and a vote upon the rival candidates of himself and Judge Eos ter, and he BartletD stands, as be- fore, as the candidate of the Young Republicans, the representative of his faction. Naturally, they expect him to stand by them, even though to speak and vote for himself might violate some of the melting courtesies of man. hood. They regard, sand rightly, his candidacy as wholly impersonal and as representing them and not him person. ally. Even might they say to him: Too modest are you,s
 More cruel to your sgood report than To us that give you truly.

Congressman Hill Is classed as among those members of the Ways and Means committee, who favor tariff-re- vision downward. He could not, as Taft Republican, take any other po- sition, and he probably, for the same reason, favors the creation of a perma- nent tariff commission. the proper function of which was described by President.elect Taft on Jan. IS, last as follows:
 I should be the last to advocate a commission with any power to fix rates
 If that were constitutional, as it would not be-or with any function other than that of furnishing the evil dence to Congress upon which, from time to time it might act.

There is now an indication of coming agitation for the seven-hour day. liar ry D. Thomas, secretary of the Cleve- land United Trades council and of the O1io Federation of Labor, says the purpose is to furnish employment to all men, even though it should be found necessary to place the limit much lower. The supporting 9argu- ment is that the increasing use of ma chinery is supplanting hand-labor, and that only by a further reduction of working hours can labor conditions be capitalized. The concession will prob ably not. be granted by employers, un- less at the end of protracted and bit ter contest. It may be added that such contests stimulate the invention of labor-saving machinery.

 In the February Appleton's MT. Hol- man Day deals exhaustively with pro- hibition enforcement in Maine. For more than 50 years, the State has had prohibition 'in declaration;'' for the past four years, there has been Ca ser ious and general attempt to enforce it." The result, he says, is that "en- forced prohibition has failed miser' ably" Tn MT. Days opinion, the li- Quor question never. can be settled by sumptuary legislation forced on a lgreat mass of the people by reformers who want to make good by law those who are inclined to be a little. wicked by taste." Men who desire liquor, will find it and use it, and they will use the more of it as a vindication of the right of personal liberty.

The pig iron industry is, according to the Wall Street summary, not in any especially fiourishing condition, and the prediction is made that sixty days from now will show hard times for the pig siron and steel industries unless a good deal of new business for big ton- nages comes in within a few days, and for that there is no ground for hope.' In the steel industry, the same author tity states that 'the heavy and light section rails, structural steel, steel cars and locomotive trade is excep- tionally dull,'' and that "it begins to look as though the community of in- terest plan of keeping an agreement about prices is going to be disrupted by a struggle for business at reduced prices.'''
 Nothing would so benefit the general situation as a disruption of the agree ment about prices, which has brought about near-stagnation in these basic industries. AS may be remembered, Judge Gary, executive head of the Steel Trust, has steadily adhered to the policy of. ante-panic prices as a preventive of "hard times" He seems to have erred.

The session of the General Assem- bly, in 1907 ran into August. Unless the time limit for the introduction of new business at the present session is materially extended, adjournment should be reached months before the date of that of 1907. There are not many important measures pending as yet, the most important being the pro- posed creation of Public Utilities Commission. A

FIFTH ANNUAL MASQUERADE

BUSINESS FARMING.
Use System in the Work and 1t VIII
Pay.

| have been a farmer long enough
to learn the cause of so many sons
and daughters and well-meaning, reli-
able farm hands leaving the beautltui
farm and country and going 10 the
city. A lack of order and system on
the farm and too long hours for a
day is what is driving the best minds
from the farm to the city and shop,
declares a writer in Farmers Review.
What can we expect of hand, or the
farmers wife and her posterity In the
way of intellectual development, when
they get out of their beds at $3.50 IN
the morning and work from that time
until or y. M? And no attention
paid to the sanitary conditions OF the
home, and necessary conveniences on
the farm for doing the farm work with
the least labor and time.
Give me the educated farmer as
boss and the educated farm hand as
a hand When | come in contact with
a hand or farmer that studies his
business | find him advancing, and IL
is pleasure to work for such men.
The majority of the farmers are
eight-hour men, that is, eight hours
I'm the forenoon and eight in the after
noon. Eight or ten hours on the farm
cannot we'll be adapted in all cases,
but it need not be from IA to 1G hours.
If the family arise every morning at
five o'clock and the wife and daugh-
ters attend to the household duties,
and the farm hands and sons attend
to the chores and go to the field at
seven o'clock and work until IL or
1870, and go to the field again at one
and keep at it until six o'clock, and
go to the house and eat the supper
and then do the evening chores, they
have done a farm days work, Regular
hours for work and regular hours for
sleep and regular hours for rest and
recreation, with plenty of standard pa
pers and books, including the best ag'
ricultural papers and books, and full
faith in God, and good grub is wanted.
The family should rise at five
o'clock on Sunday morning as we'll as
on week days, and do the necessary
Sunday morning chores, and then 80
to church and show the business man
in the city that Sunday on the farm
does not consist in changing the stock
from one field to another, or sailing it,
or unloading a load of hay that was
brought in on Saturday evening.
Coming to the meals at the meal
hour makes it easy on the wife so she
can arrange her household duties in
order. as can also the husband his
farm work.
Men of worth and standing in the
shop and city tell me that if order and
system were used on the farm they
would go back to the farm. If the
farmer wants to keep his sons and
daughters on the farm he must not
lengthen the hours for days work at
both ends. Limit the hours of work
on the farm to II or 13 with pay for
overtime, and freedom to the hired
man on Sunday.
