TAFT STANDING FOR A SQUARE
 DEAL.

The great amount and variety of railroad legislation proposed in the different states has proven a serious menace, no doubt to successful rail- road management and it is to be hoped that the irrational furry is over and the spirit to live and let live will as- sume it's place once more in all the states
 President Taft is quoted as having said the other day, that he did not favor radical legislation; that his pur- pose merely was to keep railroad con- panies within the bounds of the law and down to reasonable rates. He said the railroads should be encouraged In this connection he referred to the fact that in some places there is a disposition to do injustice to the rail- roads and to drive the corporations Co a system of economy which pre- vents the development of the country through which they pass. The presi- dent said it was often the case that the citizens of county would go to any extent to get railroad to come into their county, but once there not one would be a friend of the railroad except perhaps the local counsel These remarks brought laughter. The president urged a square deal" for the railroads that they might not be deprived of reasonable profits through popular prejudice.

AN ISSUE OF INTEREST.

That which will make life easier for all family men must be recognized as of intense general interest. The coal bin is now the source of con- siderable worry, as it Is the greatest tax upon all householders, and it is natural that there should be organ ized action for the purpose of keep ing the price of coal within a reason able cost. The Black Diamond. print ed in New York, is the authority for the statement that New England con- sumes 25, 1000, 900 tons of hard and soft coal a year at a cost of s100, 100000 This must be an error as regards cost for we all know that the average cost of coal per ton is far above $4 for New England, where the anthracite rises from s6.5O to $7.50 during the warm months. We are all glad to learn that the Boston Merchants as- sociation has fuel supply committee at work on the question of how to bring about reduction or greater econ omy in fuel consumption among the people and reduced cost or charges in the transportation of coal"
 The committee is said to be com posed of experts, and their report will soon be published. It will doubtless receive eager attention. The Spring field Republican says. "The coal bill has come to be mighty burden to New England householders, let alone New England manufacturing industry, and if it can be reduced with req sonable regard for other interests we cannot too early be informed as to the ways and means"

NEW AND OLD FuRs IN FAVOR.

One of the furs scheduled to be of the first importance this winter is seaiskin, or it's realistic counterpart, seal musquash. Indeed, since it is now as natural that furs should be dyed as the fabric for gowns, rich seal brown will be the most popular tone for variety of other kinds of peltry. Some people much prefer the clipped mus quash treated in this fashion by the skilful dyer to the same fur in its normal condition and coloring, though its popularity in it's natural guise for long coats is extraordinary.
 One of the furs that has shared the general revival in peltry fashions is the gray Persian lamb. It is charm ing fur, and one is glad to welcome it's deinstation among the list of smart peltries under the name of krimme lamb.
 A long wrap of this, lined with pale gay leather, makes one confident of the success of an effort to arouse our interest and excite. our admiration of the fur. It has one great advantage over most of the gray furs in that, as far as know. it does not fade. It is also most becoming to a certain type of face and coloring
 For Things, one of the latest addi- tions to our possible selection is the coat of the young reindeer, called by the quaint name of pijiicii. It is a beautiful warm brown color. and is used much in Germany for the out side of coats. It tones perfectly with a dark sable, and is, in fact, almost exactly the same shade. It is used with excellent effect as a lining to a mans cloth coat. of which the collar is sable. and would be just as success full for a lady's motor coat. It is not a cheap fur, but then, on the other hand, it will wear splendidly.

WEEKLY STATEMENTS.

Bristol in this state is to have a weekly statement from its first select man to keep the taxpayers in close touch with the financial affairs of the town. The Bristol Press, commenting upon this new and commendable prac- tice, says:
 Practically every taxpayer has long wished that he could be kept in closer touch with the financial affairs of the town and that the methods of doing business could be put on a frank and business-like basis a basis that all could understand. It has also for years been desired that the cus- tom of carrying over accounts from one administration to another be dis continued, and that each year the books when closed would show abso- lutely every dollar that had been spent during the year and actually include every item of expense for that year, showing, too, that every current bill had been paid. But for a long term of years this has been hope de- ferred Now this long desired thing is actually being done. The taxpayers will know just where they are at and how much money is being spent from week to week, and month to month, and when the books close they will re- cord the facts of the year"
 This is a business way of carrying on public business and it certainly should meet the appreciation of all in terested. A weekly statement of pub lie accounts keeps the finances a live subject.

ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY.

The Young Republican club of New Haven has just passed it's 18th anni- yersary and proposes to celebrate the close of quarter of century of ex- istence with banquet early in No Vember. The membership has become mature since the club was organized and the fact that wisdom has been constantly gathered may be the req son that it has such a fine past and promising future to look upon. Speak ing of this event, the New Haven Palladium says:
 This will be an interesting event, politically and socially. Generally speaking. the political organization is not one of long life, being born in en- thusiasm which Is constantly in need of rebuilding. But such has not been the case with the Young Mems Repub- lican club. It may have seen some periods of lacking interest on the part of it's members, but they have been few and unimportant, and as a whole the organization has thrived well and proven its worth in furthering the cause of republicanism. This is the day when the young man is tremen- douS factor in business and politics and for that reason young men or gsnized have a powerful influence in any community. This condition is go- ing to prevail, and in the future the Young Mems Republican club, an or ganization composed of not all but largely young men, will grow in so- cial and political prominence and in fluence in our affairs. One of it's re- cent presidents and staunch members, a young man, by the way has just been elected mayor of the city. In the bringing about of his election the Young Mems Republican club furnish ed great assistance"
 Of course. Its age shows that it must be a well-balanced organization; and if it works along the lines of young men for war and old men for counsel" 1t is all right.

USING OLD NEWSPAPERS.

Old newspapers are almost invalua- ble in the household.
 The kitchen stove is kept bright and clean by rubbing it briskly after the cooking of each meal with old papers and thus saves many polishings.
 To clean the sink of it's grease and sediment nothing is better, for the greasy paper can be at once burned after use.
 Crushed newspapers are splendid for cleaning lamp chimneys.
 Newspapers dipped in lamp oil arc splendid for cleaning windows.
 Torn in shreds. slightly dampened and scattered over the carpet they keep down the dust when sweeping.
 Many times folded they will serve as a mat to stand hot and blackened pots or kettles on and thus save soil ing the kitchen table.
 TO wipe up spilled water or grease from the floor they save the wringing out of cloth.
 Irons not much soiled can be rubbed on old newspapers and thus made fit for use.

NEEDLEwoRk SUGGESTIONS.
Paris Transfer Pattern Nd. sOae.

Design for lady's wide coat collar to be transferred to linen or any ma terial on which cut work may be done. The ornamentation is in the Italian ladder stitch, simple form of cut work and the edge buttonholed and worked with mercerized cotton, or silk floss, according to taste. This is also very handsome made up in heavy sat- in or velvet, the stitches being done with a contrasting but harmonizing color of silk floss; the edge being but tonfoled to match and the collar lined with the same color as the velvet or satin of which it is made.

MacdonaId's Work.

Apropos of the opening of the new state road between Hartford and Ber- lin, which, it is believed. will show what can be accomplished by a man who knows his job as well as Highway Commissioner Macdonald. the Hartford Courant puts in the best form we have seen it put how MT Macdonald has suffered not a little from his excess of interest in his work. It was up to him and he has apparently taken the ground that he must do it all This is too great a nervous strain and too great a physical stain. He would have had far less worry if he had secured responsible representatives in various parts of the state and unloaded ol1 them not merely details but decisions of large importance. But there are few public servants whose chief fault is too close attention and too great in- terest in their public duties. The very criticism of Mr. Macdonald car raise praise with it. To the many who have expected greater results from the most generous state appropriation for improved roads, and who have been disappointed that such results have coem so slowly. despite Mir. Macdon- aids recognized ability and interest. this explanation by the Courant will be conVincing.-Wa Waterbury American.

THE POLAR CONTROVERSY.

Commander Peary has behaved him. self so much like a common scold that the American reading public has be- come weary of him. Now he has trou- ble with Matt Henson and has for bidden him to use in his lectures a photograph of the North pole, which Henson says is his and over which the commander has no control. In his display of selfishness and jealousy, Peary has lost caste everywhere.
 It must have given him a chill when Knud Rarnussen printed in The Politiken at Copenhagen that the Es- kimos confirmed the date of the ex- petitions departure from Anatook as given by Dr. Cook They said that the expedition met comparatively good fee and good weather. They were unable to say how far north they had been, but the journey had been so long, according to the Es5imos. that "the sun finally did not disappear" and 1t was summer before they reached land again.
 The Eskimos showed a chart of the route with winter quarters at Jones sound. They told also how, as stated by Dr. Cook, the expedition, owing to open water, was unable to reach the dePots at Heiberg's island
 Of him. Dr. Cook says: This is the estimate of man who had no occa- sion to defend me. He is not particr- 1arly a friend of mine. and had no relation to our expedition. I first met him at North Star bay, In 1907.
 He gathered his information from the Eslcimos before he heard from me that I had discovered the North pole. saw him at Egesdemlnde early in August last for few minutes, when first told him of the discovery, aI- though he may have heard of it pre- viously from the Danes"
 The bad blood which has entered into the discussion will not affect conclusions as to the merits of the performances of those in interest.
 It is more than likely that one of these men may have gone farthest north and a careful examination of their data will determine which one ftood nearest to the polar center of the earth.

Mayonnaise Dressing.

One teaspoon of mustard, one tea spoon of salt, one teaspoon of powder ed sugar, a few grains of cayenne, yolks of two eggs. two tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons of vine- gar, one and a half cups of olive oil. Mix dry ingredients, add egg yolks, sand when all mixed add one-half tea spoon of vinegar. add oil gradually, at first drop by drop, and stir constant ly. As mixture thickens thin with vinegar or lemon juice, add oil and vinegar or lemon juice alternately un- til all are used, stirring or beating con- stantly. If the oil is added too rap idly dressing will have a curdled ap- pearance. A smooth consistency may be restored by taking yolS of another egg and adding curdled mixture slow ly to it. It is desirable to have a bowl containing mixture. placed in a large bowl of crushed ice to which a small quantity of water has been added.

BIG BUTTONS FOR COAT.

Big buttons are used in a single or double row on the Russian coat. as they are on most of the other styles Indeed, buttons form one of the trim ming features of the new outer. gar- ments.
 One of the late ideas with regard to the single breasted coats trimmed with deep shawl collars is that they shall be fastened on the hip, well to the left side. This is-accomplished by having the left side lap over and cut into deep point. a single big button beino there placed as the only fasten- ing. As the coat begins to cross over at the bust line it is also well adapted to cold weather use.
 While there has been some talk of a shorter coat, the evidences of it are hard to find. Some are shown. to be sure, but they are mostly of the non descript variety that will make little if any. impression upon the present season.

FASHIONABLE JEWELRY.

Very long earrings are worn.
 Harlequin bracelets, which have four or five narrow bands of different col ored jewels across the back, are great novelties.
 Again the prevalence of pierced metal settings is noticeable in all sorts of jewelry.
 Also the chrysoprase and peridot Ca green stone which is of milky opaquenessl are much used in marco site and filigree brooches and lace pins.

Nearly every woman who spends a few days out of the the city should have a well-fitting, jaunty sweater, Besides the recognized warmth of this important article, the style element enters largely into this falPs showing. The long sweater coat will be in vogue this season, and it is appearing in gray, white and other plain eolors, with little color touches on the border.
 One unusual style has the main body of white-ribbed wool. Lapels are turned back from the front line, form ing contrasting diamond. But wait: this addition of color is made hy chamois facings. Cuffs and collar and narrow pipings of the same yellow ma : terial are added. When one considarr
