MANY of the towns throughout the United States are adopting regular cleanup day, at which time every citizen of the town makes it a point to clean up his premises. As it now seems that Clifton will not have town officers until it is too late to do us any good for this summer, it will be a good idea for our citizens to adopt the cleanup scheme. There is probably no other town in the land that needs a good cleaning up any worse

SINCE the last issue of the ERA it has been learned that the reason the incorporation election matter has not been dispatched is because the district attorney is not yet in receipt of a copy of the last session laws, although they are long over due. This being the case the election will probably not be called before the next regular meeting of the board.

A Mexican boy who was attending the North Clifton public school, last week met with a most serious ac- cident while attempting to mount a moving wagon. He attempted to step on the brake block as the wagon was passing and instead of striking the block his foot landed in the wheel. Before the vehicle could be stopped his leg was mangled by the spokes. He will in all proba ability lose the use of his leg.

ALTHOUGH it is understood that there are several tickets slated for town officers, there has been so much delay that interest seems to have faded away. None of the names have been announced, but when the primary election is called there will be new stir.

THE Guardian of last week pub lished the prices at which contracts were awarded for county printing We note that the Guardian secured the contract for printing letterheads and envelopes at $l.O0 tor 800 and S3.5O for 1000; the same price being named for envelopes. We do not un- derstand how the Guardian can print 5)0 letterheads at such a rediculously low price and then run up the cost for LOGO, when as matter of fact every printer makes a cheaper price for larger quantities. THE ERA knows well and true that the Guardian can not afford to print letterheads and envelopes at such prices. At the price per 1000 it can realize just about actual cost, not counting wear and tear, but we don't see how the economical county officers can be in duced to order 1000 at S3.5O, when they can buy 500 for S1.OO; and by making two orders they can get a thousand for S2.OO We imagine that this contract is going to cause our brother in the valley some trouble.

The New England and Clifton cop per company made a poor start on the first of the month, on account of delays, but since that time ore ship ments have been regular and the company will probably wind up April with an output of 1900 tons, being an exceedingly good record. This ore was shipped to the Shannon at Cliff ton and Copper Queen at Douglas.

The man who said as he stood eyeing a deer: T could shoot my brother as quickly as I could deliberately kill that beautiful creature!" felt the magnetic power of confidence and beauty. If the eyes of birds and beasts were studied by us mercy would have a stronger hold upon our hearts and be sooner written upon the woods of which we are the supreme masters.
 have been. surprised all my life by the staying powers of a bad tenn per. It will stay right in the midst of professions of piety and pious habits, and when it breaks out all the rest ap- pears to tumble in. How the divine spirit and a bad temper can ever become so closely associated I cannot imagine. temper that would fit Satan is unfit for a Christian. Some people honestly mistake a devilish temper for righteous indignation. have come to bank more on divine calmness than upon righteous indig- nation. I think calmness oftenest mistaken, for we do not all see things as they really are. I have noticed that two righteously indignant per- sons act like two unrighteously mad individuals, and say just as mean things. Anger is not very creditable, whatever the label may be that 1t wears. The unflustered person is the person of power. and I am not sure one such cannot put 10000 of the oth- CT kind to flight.

A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES.

The Norwalk Hour has a libel suit upon its hands for $25.000, brought by the Rev. George D. Egbert of, the Congregational church for loss of rep utation and anxiety of mind. in con- sequence of the printing of the Para hle of the Misguided Shepherd" which the reverend gentleman alleges means him and The Hour makes no denial.
 There appears to be no reason why The Hour should lose appetite or sleep over the situation, since it's offence was in taking sides in controversy over Sunday baseball between Rep resentative M. R. Bennett and the Rev. MT. Egbert, who from his pulpit charged the former with being false to his promise not to favor the game. and between them there is dispute as to the exact language used in this pull pit denuncistion of representative.
 The Hours parable was undoubtedly very racy and interesting reading to most everybody in town and it fitted like a glove to the hand the case: and then in his grief oyer hard knocks the reverend gentleman proceeded to take action in the courts for redress, putting his damages at a very high figure.

FEDERAL ExTRAvAcANcE.
Pre.ident Taft AIivs to ths Issus.

Then there. is that overshadowing problem of how to reduce government expenditure. It can be said authori- tatively that this administration re- gards this as the largest question 1t has to deal with. 1t has heard the grumblings of the people. It has come to a realization of the fact that there is, at Last, a widespread demand that extravagance in the expenditure of the peoples money by federal. state, county and municipal government shall cease. Only a week before he left Washington last summer, Presi- dent Taft called the members of his cabinet together in special session, and gave them to understand that the es- inmates from the several departments on which the appropriations made by congress at the coming session Will De based, must show retrenchment. These estimates have all been prepared. and as soon as the president gets back here and can get his cabinet together the figures will be scanned. No one knows the amount of the reduction which these ,estimates show in comparison with the billion dollars appropriated by congress for this fiscal year. One thing everybody here does know, and that is that the demand for money was never more urgent than 1t Is at this time. Unquestionably President Taft is anxious to stand between con gress and the United States treasury, he sees the necessity of his admins tration making a record for economy, but time only will show whether he can really accomplish anything in this irection.-Washingto Letter to Bos- ton Transcript.

SO HELP ME eopI

There is a movement on foot to amend the oath used in courts so that the help of God shall not be evoked, the movers evidently considering these words to be perfuous-neither or namental nor useful as the climax of a legal oath.
 The movement originated in the District of Columbia and will come before congress and promises to stir up a hornets nest. It will have the support of people who dislike to see traditional customs dropped and also of those who esteem it as value in holding man loyal to truth. Others object to the entire oath because a man of principle doesn't need 1t, and 3 man of no principle will not heed 1t.
 But 1t is not likely to be eliminated, Eince 1t is the oath the people have taken since the foundation of the gov Rrnment. The president, the defend FITS of the flag. all freemen of the country, and every officer. elective and lppointive. in the entire land. There ran be no serious objection raised to lt, unless it be on the part of the lew who say that they cannot c~r Hntiously take such an oath, and this rlass has included clergymen of diff ferent denominations.
 Since the people have demanded that God should be inserted in the Constitution. and would not let "In God We Trust be removed from the coins, they should not be expected to endorse this change.

Where 1t Game From.

An American tourist the story goes, went to Germany in his car to see the last army maneuvers. He was im- pressed with what he saw, and espe- cialIy with the brigade of motor ann balances, motor baggage wagons and so forth.
 As the tourist watched the maneu- vers. fror, a seat under tree. the ax- le of a motor ambulance broke. In stantly the men leaped out, ran into the village. returned in jiffy with a new axle, fixed it in place with won derfuI mechanical skill, and teuf- teuffed off again almost as good as new.
 "There's efficiency" said the Ameri- can tourist. There's German efficien- cy fort you No matter what breaks. there's a stock on hand to supply the needed pcirt from"
 And, praising the remarkable ex- ample of German efficiency he had just witnessed, the tourist returned to the village and ordered Up his car. to find he couldn't use it, as an axle was miss ng.-Washington Star.

FAuLT-FlNplNc.

Fault finding is not a virtue whether l. is the hahit of professedly good r-an, or an openly bad one. It Is the straight way to constant turmoil--it is the correct way of becoming chron- ic grouches ourselves. We all have our share of faults and what do not come by inheritance we readily ac- quire.
 lt-flnding makes trouble in the house, in the church, in the state-it has spoiled good husbands, wives, children, neighborhoods and societies. The eye for the fault of another is an evil eye-the habit of dwelling up- on the faults of others is a scavenger habit. Seeking the good is a com pensating occupation, for it means daily betterment of the seekers and of those they see good init is the bright light which gives the right coll or to ones conduct and one's views.
 What we regard as faults may not be so regarded by others. Our little measure of propriety is usually a very short measure. The best that may be said of it is that it is ours; and the the best that can be done with it is to keep it to measure ourselves rather than to measure others.
 People regarded as the worst have a few good qualities; and people recog- mixed as among the best have few bad ones. There never has been but one perfect person. and He was put to death. To look for the perfect per- son would be futile quest. We may search for little goodnesses with per- feet confidence everywhere, for we shall find them; and it is the little goodnesses of life which are a stay to fault-finding and builders up of the charity which Is silent when it cannot praise.
 If we would grow better day by day we should seek goodness-if we would become worse there is no quicker way than in cultivating the fault-fnding eye and the scathing tongue.

He's waiting for an answer flown stairs" grumbled the charwoman sulk- fly as she went out, shuffiing heavily along the creaking boards.
 The girl read the scrap of paper by the dim light that slanted through the chinks of the dusty shutters: May l take you to my mother ?" It was only a pencilled note, but 1t seemed to cleave a rift in the ominous clouds that were shadowing her life. The message kindled none of her former hopes; misfortune had long eaten them from her sorrow -lackened heart and filled the void with dull, aching de- spair; it simply offered a means of escape to a soul panic-stricken by the gaunt specter of want. Disaster had torn her ambition to shEeds and warp ed her nature to brooding despond- ency.
 She glanced at the cracked mirror and saw the lines stamped on her face by privation; the chalky pallor that had plotted out, little by little, the wildflower prettiness, and fash toned a dreadful image of her suffer ings. The glass itself with its broken streak cuttine across her ghastly mir rored features marked her failure.
 Whats the use?" she muttered dull ly, passing her hand wearily over her forehead. He loves me; he will be kind to me. and I'll be a good wife. But the payment! the paymentl"
 Her voice sank to an awed. fearful whisper that found it's counterpart in the look of numb misery in her eyes. An acute pain tore at the remnants of her resolution.
 The metallic click of the charwo- mans pail in the lower hall startled her. Feverishly, in an impulse of de- cision, she put on, her hat. drew her Shabby coat closeN about her body, and walked blindly towards the door. As she crossed the threshold she heard the low, tremulous notes of a violin from the room opposite.
 Tt is F'ranzl" she half sobbed, paus- ing and straining to catch the faint melody that sounded like wailing echo of her grief.

THE TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN

The fight against the white plague is worldwide and necessarily munich pal for populous centers. The city of Augusta, and Richmond county. Me, have just established a camp for the benefit of consumptives near that city, and The Chronicle says of 1t:
 "The camp is situated in the yard of the county home about six miles from the city. where the air is pure and sweet and calculated to benefit to the utmost. The style of the camp is the Loomis lean-to Dr. A. E. Ger tel, president of the Richmond county Anti Tuberculosis society, was called in to select the plans for the building, and as the best for all purposes he selected the lean-to.
 The building is long and narrow. The ends and back of it are closed, the front unprotected save by a can vas curtain. In clear weather, the curtain will remain up; in rainy. should the rain be from the front, it can be lowered. The end of the build ing nearest the road is for the use of women. Ten iron beds will be placed in the women's department. About the middle of the department is door leading into a locked room, in which is closet, bath and shower bath. There is another door leading to the matron's department. Separating the mems department from the women's department is a partition. The ar rangement of the mems department is identical with that of the womens
 Everything in the lean-to has been painted spotless white. In cold wealth. CT the goodly supply of blankets will be furnished the inmates, so that in all weathers they will be sleeping out of doors.
 Dr. Oertel in speaking of the Loomis lean-to and the Loomis sanitorium mentioned that this style of lean-to was used in New York state winter and summer. Often the thermometer is below zero, but the inmates remain out as if it were the middle of sum- mer. Fresh air everywhere and at all times seems to be the motto of the lean-to. The inmates 'of the Rich mond county tuberculosis camp will be given plenty of nourishing, whole some food. Nurses will be on duty at all hours. These nurses are to be furnished from the city hospital at the city's expense. The county stood the expense of the building.
 These sanitoriums are not expen- sive and the prospect is that there will be before many years one in each county of Connecticut, since such ex- cellent reports are made from the one we have.
