MAGNUS MANSON FAMOUS SEA
 CAPTAIN DEAD

New Haven. Oct. .t.-Magnus. Man son, president of the Benedict-Manson Marine Company of this city, pioneer in New Haven's shipping trade and one of the oldest sea captains in New England, died yesterday morning at his home, 31 Dwight street, in his eightieth year, his death resulting from acute gastritis, following a stroke of apoplexy.
 Coming from the Shetland Islands, his birthplace, MT. Manson, when 20 years of age, became engaged in the shipping business in this city in 1852, when New Haven was one of the best known seaports on the coast. Later, he started a shipping business of his own, taking contracts from different companies. to ship goods from New Haven to different parts of the world. In the business he. became one of the best known sea captains on the coast.
 At the beginning of the Civil War, he received a contract from the Unit ed States government to help supply the arms in the South with provisions by water, in this way being in a num- Der of important engagements during the war. At the end of the war. he continued his shipping business, found- ing later the Benedict Manson Marine Company, now the largest marine firm in the State, of which he was presi- dent. He was engaged in the business until 1892 when he retired from active work

Burglars Busy At
 Lenox Country Houses

Lenox. Oct 25.-Six country places in the vicinity have been visited by a burglar or burglars within the last week. Somebody broke into the coun- try residence of Frederick Bull and took $1, 900 worth of jewels belonging to Mrs. Bull, and later visitations were made at the country. places of Samuel Frothingham, George B. Blake, Mrs. Henry Dibblee, Mrs. Joseph w. Bur den, Mrs. Morris K. Jesup and Mrs. Oscar Iasigi in Stockbridge.
 At this season of the year Lenox country residents are engaged in giv- ing their largest dinner entertain ments. The burglar appears at the houses at the time it's inmates are at dinner, climbs a porch to the roof and from there makes an easy en- trance into the second floor
 Lenox police officers received a tele- phone call to the residehceEof George B. Blake on the Richmond Mountain road last night. They obtained a mo- tor and were driven out to the Blake place. Women servants had reported seeing the flash of dark lantern at the front door and by peering through a window had seen a man at work on the lock. The officers searched the grounds, but found. no one about.

THE FARMER: OCTOBER 25, 1909
NAVY GIFT
 TO JAPAN
Geld and Silver Loving Cup to be Pre-. scented by American FIeet-Now on Beard Flagship Connecticut.

New York, Oct 25-The great gold and silver loving cup which the officers and men of the United States Atlantic fleet are to present to the officers and sailors of the Imperial Japanese Navy has been received on board the flag ship Connecticut, now at the New York Navy yard, being overhauled prepar- atory to the Winter cruise in South ern waters. The cup is magnificent piece of work and is said to be the finest token of the kind in any navy.
 The cup is thirty-four and half inches high, exclusive of the base, the body of the cup consisting of large round bowl supported on great sil- yer globe, which in turn is hanked on both sides by American eagles model ed in high relief. The chrysanthemum, the national flower of Japan, orna- ments the massive handles of the bowl while the cover of the cup is sur mounted by two eagles and shields of the United States, supporting the inn perial seal of Japan, modelled in gold.
 On the obverse side of the globe, supporting the bowl, appears the seal of the United States, on which is also etched the map of Japan. Arranged below this etching is group of an- chors, trident, and flags of the United States and Japan, the whole enameled in colors. Around the upper rim of the cup in gold are the names of Jap aneSe battleSh1pS and cruisers. S1m1- larly applied around the base are the names of American battleships.
 On this side of the cup appears this inscription, in English.
 Presented to the officers and men
 of the Imperial Japanese Navy by
 the officers and men of the United
 States Atlantic Fleet, in grateful
 recognition of the generous courte-
 sies received during their visit to
 Japan, in October, Nineteen Hun
 dred and Flight.
 On the reverse appears the same in scription in Japanese, the Japanese characters being originally transcrib- ed by Baron Takahira, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States. The engraving is exact reproduction of the photograph of the original writing. On this side of the globe is etched the map of the United States. with the seal of the Navy Department of the United States, and second group of anchors, trident, and the official en- signs of the two countries.
 The cup rests on mahogany base to which is applied in silver the seals of the United States and the Navy Department, encircled by wreaths of laurel. The cup will be expressed to Japan and should arrive in Tokio about Christmas.
 The great silver punch bowl that is to be presented to the Chinese Navy will be exhibited on board the Louisi- ana, the flagship of the division that visited China. The Louisiana is in Hampton Roads This gift is from the officers and men of the Second Squad ron of the fleet.

sTTTHE OF MINT, AND
 ANISE AND CUNINIIN',

Wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay 1.-the of mint, and 0nise and cummin and have omit ted the weightier matters of the law. Judgement mercy and faith, these ought ye to, have done and not to leave the others undone. .%+
 We would dislike very much to ap- ply this scriptural passage to the re- gently adopted local Republican plat form if 1t could be considered @ re- Election upon Chairman Stevenson of the Resolutions committee, but as he A0 said to have brought the completed platform to the convention in advance of the appointment of the committee, k11e document probably emanated from sfie machine and he thus escapes the Scrfptural condemnation. / 4 As heretofore stated, the platform is most remarkable for its omissions It refers to some comparatively minor matters, and does not mention such Important features of the Lee admin Astration as the harbor line and car barn incidents. It pays .ttithe of mint and anise and cumnin'' and OmitS 'the weightier matters of the law" Judgment upon these omitted events, invocation of mercy for the city in the more along the same line,' 9 and faith in a most desirable reversal of the candidates pro-corporation pol fcy-tthese ye ought to have done"
 Fortunately. Mayor Lee remedied, in his speech of acceptance, all of the omissions from the platform except one-explanation of the .tmore along the same line"-and he may possibly, though not probably, close that gap in his campaign speeches. He invited Judgment by saying, CT will stand on my record; he declined mercy by say ing, 'T have no apologies to make; he did not ask for, faith in his official future, if any, perhaps knowing that faith is based upon works and not car ing to meet the issue, By their works ye shall know them-
 His speech of acceptance, confirming the pre-convention statement of an organ that the Republicans will t'rise or fall'' on the merits of the Lee ad- ministration, marks the issues of the campaign; the mint and anise and cummin' of the platform has become negligible quantity.

Railroad Clerks
 May Go on Strike

Boston, Oct 25.-The 5000 union clerks at six hundred stations and me- chanica1 shops of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad will vote this week as to whether or ont they will strike because of the alleged flat refusal of the management of the road to grant requests which have been submitted by the Brotherhood of Rail- road Clerks.
 The clerks system committee has been in conference with road officials at New Haven the past four weeks and secured few minor concessions
 The clerks demand in general a nine hour work day, 10 per cent increase in wages, with a minimum wage of $2 per day, pay for overtime work, right of appeal in case of unjust discharge proper classification of clerks, senior ity promotions and discharge of ob- ligation to pay premiums on bonds

HE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

In New York city, it is a recognized tact that unless warm contests can De brought about in primaries, conven- lions etc, full votes cannot be secured Rt elections. If the same rule is ap- plicable in Bridgeport, there can be no doubt of the casting of an exception ally full vote at the city election on Tuesday, Nov. 2, particularly on the Democratic side.
 The Democratic primaries of Friday night were very largely attended. and khe contests which occurred in ma- ijority of the districts, were carried with vigor to conclusions. Results are Somewhat uncertain as yet and may continue so until finally determined in fhe Town and City convention which .wfll occur this evening. In some in stances the rivalry between candidates |to come before the convention was warm, but so far as we can now see, there was no such residuum of anger as might threaten the party's success at the polls. All are not only pledged to support the ticket, but are also morally bound by participation in the prdmaries to abide by the results.
 The most notable feature of these p9imaries was that the rank and file of the party participated therein, un- Bound by orders from any machine and absolutely free to act as each ones judgment dictated. Results represent, therefore, the wishes of a majority of the party, and not the decree of a machine
 It affords a most striking contrast with Republican procedure. In the Republican organization. an unauthor- ized, Irresponsible machine rules, and most of the rank and file are mere automata. That machine has just imposed upon the party a Mayorial candidate who could not have been nominated under the direct primary system but for whom the bulk of the privates will vote, having long ago ceased to exercise the discretion of freemen and having become mere reg fstering devices.
 The contrast is between the free will of the voters as regularly expressed an the primaries, on the Democratic side. and the decree of a machine, on the Republican side.

keeping them down to reasonable fig ures.
 Among the deep waterway projects is one which contemplates an inland waterway from Maine to Florida and in which Bridgeport is, or should be, greatly interested but has not yet evinced that interest in any practical way. On the contrary. it has given away harbor area which will be urgently needed by it's commerce when the inland waterway in which Long Island Sound is part becomes an accomplished fact. And we are told that more along the same line'' is to come, in the event of Mayor Lees re- election.

Few Regular Freshmen
 At Yale Law School

Although it was not expected. that there would be very large number the new entrance requirements of a two years college course preparation, the actual figures are smaller than many hoped for. The preliminary list of the Law School and other depart ments shows that there are thirty-two regular members of the freshman class in the Law School and sixteen specials, @ total of forty-eight.
 Although the entrance requirements are that there shall be two years course at a college or similar institu- tion, these rules apply only as to those who are after the degree of L. L.. B. Any man who has sufficient work to warrant it can go through the school and study law there without these re- quired preparations. but he cannot get 8 degree unless he has them.

Woman Gets $4O,0OO
 From Reynolds Estate

Waterbury, Oct. 25-Heirs of Ed win Reynolds, of Milwaukee, who died recently leaving a large estate, have effected a compromise with Mrs. c. c. Robinson, of Willimantic, who was preparing to contest the will. After a conference with counsel for the Western heirs, Mrs. Robinson has ac- cepted $40,0OO as her share of the es- tate. Under the will she was to have received a legacy.

In his speech at Corpus Christi, Tex, Dn Friday, President Taft declared in favor of deep waterways, when such projects can be shown to be practic- able and necessary. and stated that the piece-meal progression by jerks policy of Congress in the past with reference to such improvements should be replaced with a definite general plan for opening up the great avenues of commerce. In his belief. this would serve as . check upon railroad rates.

Tariff on Hides Should Come Off.

The tariff on hides is not protec-
tive 1t never led to the raising in
the United States of a single steer
that would not have been raised with
out it. 1t hurts instead of helps Amer
ican industry, by making the raw
material of the tanner artificially dear,
which is a great detriment to the man
ufacturer of shoes. AS a revenue pro-
ducer it is iniudicious, because for
every dollar it nets to the government
it makes the American people pay
many dollars in the increased cost of
footwear.
The tariff on hides Injuries the for
eign trade by enhancing the cost of
manufacturing boots and shoes intend
ed for export and by showing inhospi-
tality to an important export Of South
America, a region whose good will the
United States has taken pains in many
ways to secure, but which maintains
more intimate commercial relations
with Great Britain anu Germany than
with the northern portion of the west
ern hemisphere.
Sometimes the question of the tar
iff on hides is obscured by dragging in
voluminous collateral statistics. 1t is
simple question, and the facts set
forth above are conclusive as to the
inadvisability Of the impost, 1t was
not favored by the authors of the Nc
Kinley tariff and the Dingley tariff,
but was hung on to those measures
while they were on their passage. 1t

Dogs as Suicides.

According to NJ Camille F1am-
marion, the eminent astronomer and
psychologist, it is possible for dogs to
commit suicide. We ourselves have
heard of such things and take more or
less stock in them but NJ Flammarion
believes that dogs suffer from grief
and despair and kill themselves like
human beings. His remarks were oc-
casioned by the alleged suicide of a
Saint Bernard dog who threw himself
under a motor bus in the Place Saint
Sulpice recently, an hour after the
death of his mistress. He argues that
the dog may be assumed to have
known as well as human being that
a motor bus would crush him to death,
and when he got in front of its wheels
he probably did so as the quickest
way to end his grief at his mistress
demise. M. F'lammarion cites other in
stances which have come under his
notice of dogs committing suicide, and
concludes that the stories are not so
incredible as they seem at first sight,
and adds that dogs may have even bor-
rowed the instinct from man. But hav-
ing given dogs credit for memory and
intense affection, says the Boston Her
aid, why doubt their capacity for men,
tai suffering? Maeterlinck, another OBJ
server of dogs, has given them souls,
as well as memory and affections.
Many dog has died of grief even if
he did not commit suicide.

AlWaYs Ready.


The American battle-ship fleet
reached Suez two days ahead of its
schedule. 1t was met by orders to
hasten to Sicily and there do all pos
sible for those who are suffering from
the great earthquake disaster.
Within few hours the small cruiser
Yankton was os her way through the
canal, with every medical officer and
hospital attendant that could be
spared. The supply ship Culgoa was
close behind with all the surplus pro.
visions of the fleet.
Ample supplies of coal awaited the
feet at Port Said and We're taken on
by each detachment as it arrived. AS
many of the ships as it may be deemed
desirable, or all of them if needed,
will be ready as soon as coaled to pro.
ceed to Messina.
The readiness of our navy for any
duty is the important point to be OBJ.
served Those who saw the fleet steam
into Suez remarked that, despite their
long voyage, the ships looked as if
just out of harbor for a naval review
The general and correct impression
made by all these Incidents is that our
fleet is all right-except, of course, on
paper. On every sea, save that de-
scribed in the ten-cent magazines, our
fleet is visibly ready for any sort of
duty. All the world sees it so. Only
some Americans are blind.

EXPLANATION FROM Mr.. BRYAN
Perennial Candidate Furnishes SoIu.
ton of mystery of 19os."

The Charleston News and Courier
says that Mr.. Bryan has himself found
the best solution of The Mystery of
1908" Ii will not of course, be pub
lished in the Commoner, for it is clear
ly entitled to the first prize in that
publications. current guessing contest.
Mr. Bryan believes in a fair dstribu
toin of life's prizes and would not
want to compete with his less talented
subscribers. The Democratic candi-
dates answer to the riddle of 1908 Is
that Mr. Taft was elected through a
combination of the financial, CONNER
cial and industrial interests of the
country" He does not himself approve
of such a combination, for he adds that
he would rather remain a private citi-
zen than be president and be sub
servient to those interests, as Mr.. Taft
must be under the conditions that
elected him"
Mr.. Bryan's explanation certainly ex-
plains. We do not see how a candi-
date solidly supported by the financial,
commercial and industrial interests OF
the country could fail of election.
Those interests embrace almost every
body making living in this country
outside of the professions. They
dominate our political life, and ought
to dominate it. AS the News and
Courier justly points out, they include
the merchants, the bankers, the man
ufacturers, the workingmen and the
farmers"
Mr.. Bryan is becoming very exclu-
sive in his political affiliations when he
says that he would not care as presi-
dent to be subservient to the finan-
cial commercial and industrial inter
ests" of the country What other in
terests would he serve? Whose wei
fare would he put ahead of the well
fare of those who produce and dis
tribute, of those who create the wealth
of the country and Of those who act
as middlemen between the producer
and the consumer? The presidential
candidate who haughtily dismisses
these controlling elements in our pop
ulation as beneath his concern will in
evitably remain in the minority. He
is too exclusive for the average Amer
ican voter.

The United States and Cuba.

The United States, much better sat
isfied with Cuba as a small indepen-
dent neighbor than with Cuba as an
adaptive child requiring more than
parental responsibilities, should not
only do all in it's power to discourage
the beginnings of revoluton-and this
it has done fully and honestly-but 1t
should establish an active informa-
ton bureau to make public both in
Cuba and in the United States all the
facts it can gather as to the true or
igin of seml-revolutionary disturbances
at their very inception. In this way
it may produce an improved popular
understanding of the real meaning of
Cuban instructions, and help greatly
toward an intelligent judgment as to
what the best method will be TO con-
troll them, short of annexation.

For the country,s Welfare,

The recurring confusion, waste and
uncertainty of these periodical
wrestles with the tariff can be stopped
when congress has the welfare of the
country enough at heart to stop them.
1t is for congress to define the prin-
ciple on which the tariff revision shall
be conducted, just as the Republican
platform defines it on a protective
basis. Then let expert testimony set
tie what the duty shall be, on that
basis, by impartial and exact investi-
CATION ef the cost of production, actu-
al labor cost and comparative rates of
profit When each schedule is thus
disposed of by itself the periodical
halts of business to get the tariff re.
