other so called reforms enacted in this

il high time that the people Of this state
were waking up TO the situation. Each

heralded a. the most beneficial institu

after ten ears of service the commits.
sion itself admits that our tax system il
worse than it was before the commission
was established and this Is what the peo-
pie have received for approximately
three hundred thousand dollars year

cANADA's NAVAL POLICY.
Believed She Will Obey England
Peace Thereby Menaced.

The Herald's Ottawa correspondent
Informed us on Saturday that Sir Will
frid Laurier, the Canadian premier
had made a remark which must have
discouraged those making protest
against the establishment of Canadi-
an branch of the royal navy. The
correspondent adds that the ministry
is disposed to proceed slowly in devel-
oping this plan to grid both seacoasts
with Canadian warships acting under
orders from the British admiralty and
commanded by British officers
1t is good news, but must be receiv-
ed with some doubt. We fear it is
too late of talk of going slowly. Ad
miral Lord Charles Beresford and Lord
Northcliffe have sown the dragons
teeth, leaving Canada to reap the
crop. The government, so far uncom-
mitted, is drifting hayward.
1t is true that Canada reveals a
strong self-reliance. yet it has too Oft
en- yielded to appeals" from the
mother country to inspire hope against
the navy plan. Undoubtedly there is
a Canadian spirit, but it is a national
spirit that has not yet found itself.
1t is difficult to recall when the i'm
perial government has made an I'M
usual demand or inflicted bitter dis
appointment on Canada without those
uSlildllOS USlliB SIdultu VI lllG uiSdp-
pointment being Loyalty accepted.
Now comes the most important step
in the history Of Canada since the
formation of the Dominion. Canada
is asked to spend millions each year,
not in developing her natural re-
sources nor in defending herself (for
she has no foe under the skies), but
in augmenting the sea power of Great
Britain.
Unless there is a change in senti-
ment. Canada viii do it too. Then she
will have lost her place as a peaceful
country. rushing onward toward her
magnificent destiny, and go floating
on the tide wherever Downing street
wills-a world power. but with gives
upon her wrists.
Written plainly. this will be the sit
uation. The Dominion viii be tied to
the naval power of Great Britain.
which in turn is tied to Japan by an
alliance against the world.-New York
Herald.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS specter.

Doubtless, the most striking feature
of the presidents journey has been the
remarkable enthusiasm that has greet
ed the name of Roosevelt wherever ut
tered. The president himself has been
received kindly, as becomes the occa-
sion when a people receives its chosen
head, but there has been little; vocifer-
Gus cordially. To aruse his hearers
to a high pitch of excitement, the pres
ident was obliged but to mention the
name Of his predecessor in office. The
result was invariably striking and
immediate. Mere decent hospitality
gave way to shrieking enthusiasm.
Theodore Roosevelts hold upon the
hearts and imaginations of the west
and middle west has been proverbial.
IL Is also real The wild applause that
everywhere greeted the name Of the
last executive is suggestive of what
would happen were he to return to
America and throw himself into a con-
test for national party leadership. The
fact that President Taft shines by re-
flected light must have become pain
fully apparent to himself.
The president has returned to Wash
ington at time whe nthe harmony of
his administration is threatened and
the peace OF. his official family in i'm
minent danger And in all these con-
troversies, actual and foreshadowed,
Theodore Roosevelt figures as an ele-
ment in the discord. Turn where he
will, Mr.. Taft cannot escape the in
fluence of the man by whose grace he
occupies the present position as head
of the nation.-Cleveland Plain Dealer,
indt dem.

CHESTNUT PEST
Destroying Trees Which Might as Well
Be Turned Into Lumber.

Reports received at the Connecticut
Agricultural Experiment station in
New Haven show that the chestnut
tree pest which has killed many thou
sand trees in the southwestern part Of
the state has been found in Torring-
ton. Litchfield county, q county in
which the chestnut trees are uncom-
monty abundant. This appears to be
the northernmost part of the state in
which it has thus far been discovered.
The pest has reached nearly every
town in Fairfield county, the greatest
sufferers being Stamford, Greenwich,
Ridgefield and Danbury.
Rather than see his holdings go to
waste, the farmer will at the last mo-
ment sell for a good round sum his
forest which is gradually dying and
which in a few years would be of no
use.
The owner of the sawmill enters, and
the trees are cut into railroad ties,
posts, ETC., and shipped to the larger
markets. Thus employment is given
to many and the trees, which is few
years would be of no value, are turned
into marketable material, from which
all obtain more or less benefit.

HER HAIR WAS TOO LONG.
So Little Boy Decided to Take His
Sister to the Barber Shop.

An amusing incident occurred in
Connells Inn barber shop several days
ago, according to The Torrington Reg
lister. A little boy of about five years
of age entered the shop leading a lit
tie girl about two years old. All the
BARRIERS were engaged at the time so
the two children sat down to wait.
When one of the BARRIERS had finish
ed he called next. and the little fellow
came forward leading the girl. He ex-
planned to the barber that his sister s
hair was too long and that he wanted
it cut Off He said that his mother
also wanted it done.
Accordingly the little girl was lifted
into one of the chairs and the barber
began to cut the hair. He had pretty
nearly completed the work when a
woman rushed into the shop. She
proved to be the mother of the two
children. She had been looking for
them. On seeing her little daughter
in the BARRIERS chair having her hair
cut off the mother became distracted.
1t developed that the idea of trim
ming the little girls hair originated
with the brother. who evidently did not
approve of such adornment. AS the
barber had proceeded so far with the
operation, he was permitted to COM
plete it.

"a ao.Ooo- Ton RattIeehip.

Congressman Roberts of this state is
credited with the intention Of seeking
to induce his colleagues of the naval
affairs committee to substitute one
S0,000-ton battleship for the two $4,000
tonners proposed. As reported, he
would have the 10000 -tonner mount
twelve fourteen-inch guns, always pre-
supposing that these weapons salts
factorily answer the tests to which
they are going to be subjected. Mr..
Roberts has been anticipated. however,
in his advocacy of the bigger ship
with bigger guns by the Italian min
lister of marine. who has commission
ed the designer, Michel, to study the
practicability of constructing a YES
sci of $4,000 tons to carry a battery of
sixteen-inch guns. The minister has
not committed himself to building this
wells; he merely wants his idea draft
ed in plans. The estimated cost of
this naval leviathan is $40. 000, 900,
which is a big item for Italians to
consider. At the time when, in COM
mon with most naval nations, the
United States is contemplating still
heavier SUPER readnought as cap
ital ships" there is movement I'M
der way in Great Britain, which, if it
overcomes the opposition of the higher
powers that be, will bring about re-
version to a simpler, cheaper type.
The semi submarines" so-called.
whose substitution for dreadnoughts
finds advocates, are really extra heav-
lily armored monitors, so designed and
plated as to expose very low and
impregnable freeboard to the enemy.
The type will be given trial at least,
and if a vessel of this class carrying
a few monster guns, hard-hitting but
hard hit, comes up to the claims of
the promoters, there will be dread
noughts galore to go the same way as
the old broadside ironclads to which
the little monitors proved themselves
superior.-Boston Transcript.

to the 400 to be taken south by the
Prairie. With the troop ship Buffalo
on the Pacific coast and the Prairie
on the Atlantic, the marines could
be transferred from one coast to the
other of Nicaragua in a comparatively
short time, by way Of the Panama
railroad.
Many Rear AdmiraIs at Navy Depart
ment.
Rear admirals galore were at the
navy department today. but in no in
stance was it admitted that their pres
ence there had to do with the trouble
in Nicaragua. Rear Admiral Schroe-
der, commander of the Atlantic fleet.
had talk with Assistant Secretary
Winthrop before Secretary Meyer re-
turned to the department from Bos-
ton. Rear Admiral Wainwright, COM
mandant of the third division of the
same fleet, had long conference with
Rear Admiral Potter. chief of the bu-
reau of navigation. Rear Admiral
Swift of the Boston navy yard and
Rear Admiral Evans also were visitors
at the department.
Waters too Shallow for Battleship.
1t was stated today at the navy de-
partment that the shallow waters
along Nicaragua on the Atlantic coast
made the sending of a battleship there
useless and such action is not con-
templated. Preparations are being
made by the navy for any emergency,
but it was denied that rush orders had
been given for the completion of re-
pairs on such vessels as the Paducah
and the Dubuque. 1t was admitted,
however, that the Albany and the
Yorktown would remain for the pres
ent in Magdalena bay. 1t had been
generally understood that they were
about to be ordered north.

Russia's Future.

Premier Stolypin is reported to have
said recently to the editor Of a Rus
sian newspaper: "Give the country
twenty years quiet at home and
abroad and you will not know the
Russia of today" This, no doubt, has
reference to the recuperative power of
the empire, which is unquestionably
great under favorable conditions. Rus
sia's foreign relations are sufficient
ly quiet and are likely to remain so
for some time to come as result of
her impoverishment in the war with
Japan. Her internal affairs also might
remain quiet if her government would
treat the people fairly. But if MUIR
derous policy toward the Jews is to
be continued there will be a continu-
ing threat of turbulence, and there is
no knowing how serious the conse-
quences will be. 1t is for Russia to
decide whether or not she shall have
twenty years of quiet at home. There
will always be a risk in trying to con-
ceal, instead Of ending, a rule of per-
secution, oppression and outrage

Importance of a Word.

If you should address a letter to
the man who is chief magistrate of
this republic, you are at liberty to ad-
dress him as The President, Wash
ington, d. c." That will be sufficient.
He is not His Exceilency," as is the
supreme executive magistrate of this
commonwealth nor His High Might
ness" a title which they say sounded
pleasing to the ear of the Father of
his country"
But if you should write letter to
the secretary of state of the United
States, whom the plain president"
appointed to the job, prepare to dip
your pen in hoDorihc ink. While MIR.
Taft is plain President" without any
titular epaulettes, his secretary Of
state is THE Honorable Secretary Of
State" It viii not do to address him
as "The Secretary of State" simply.
He is something more than that. The
etiquette of the state department re-
quires that the word honorable" be
prefxed to the word Secretary" In
cali Bahia and the Forty Thieves" the
magic word was "Sesamei" As soon
as the door of the robbers cave heard
that word it straightway opened

To Revive an Old Canal.

Making Point Judith an island is the
first part of the plan for reviving the
old Worcester-PF Providence canal. 1t de-
Ponds on the proposal to cut canal
from Block Island sound to Narra-
gansett bay, so that ships may. avoid
going around Point Judith to reach
Providence from New York. The point
is the buffet of the waves that come
in from the Atlantic too fiercely for the
comfort of the sailors of craft, and the
small boats and heavy freighters have
the most Of their troubles off Point
Judith. With that all cut out by
means Of a canal for lodging across
country in back Of the point, the ship
ping of Providence would be of more
importance. That has been proposed
in connection with the cutting of an
inland series of canals along the At
lantic coast from Boston to Florida.
Now it is being talked of more seri-
ously in Rhode Island.
When that canal is cut, as the plans
are stated now, the freight boats will
come through the Seekonk or Paw
tucket river to tidewater just below the
city of Pawtucket, and there give up
their loads to cars of the Moshassuck
railroad. Then the cars will take the
goods up the valley about five miles
to Lonsdale, r. l., and there give them
up to barges on the successor of the
Olu w OTCGSl6T canal. HOW IHe 6A-
pense of the unloading and the reload
ing is to be covered to make the cost
of that kind of trip less than the rail-
road freights there is no explanation,
but there must be something to it or
the speculations in land down that way
along the banks of the Blackstone
river would not be going on so smooth
ly. 1t is claimed that in Providence
that condemnation proceedings to
,irIr.
railroad have been nearly completed,
and that that detail would not be at
tended to unless plans were ripe for
cutting out the canal to Worcester.
There are suspicious that the Grand
Trunk railroad is behind the plans,
that it may have the use of the
Moshassuck road and perhaps some of
the canal to get its freight to the ocean
ships at Worcester Tele-
gram.
