Springfield Republican.
A Foregone Conclusion.
It has been as nearly as possible a
foregone conclusion from the first that
Frank B. Brandegee would be elected
to succeed himself in the United States
senate. The legislature of Connecticut
may be expected to do the right thing
when the right thing is as clearly de-
fined as 1t was this case. Here was
brilliant young man who had already
served his freshman term in the SEN
ate and had arrived at the point where
he might step out and assert himself
in that staid old body so Jealous Of its
old time traditions This young man
had filed out acceptably the unexpired
term of the late great Senator Orville
II. Platt and shortly before the time
for a new election a movement was
sprung to leave him at home and fill
his place with a man who had just
been reelected for his eighth term in
the house of representatives, the Hon.
EbeneZer J. Hill. a very able man, sea-
soned by long experience in the house,
and leader in that Waterbury
American.
A Serious Mistake Avoided
The state viii retain in the house
an able member of the ways and
means committee in Congressman Hill,
whose special knowledge Of the tariff
VIII be a valuable asset for Connecti-
cut in the new congress which will re-
wise the tariff. With Mr.. Hill new
man in the senate and a new man in
the house in Hills place Connecticut
interests must have suffered. 1t would
have been practically creating two va
cancies in the congressional delegation.
It might be years before the state
could get another member of the ways
and means committee, to say nothing
Of a member so admirably fitted for
the position as Mr.. Hill, thus making
the defeat of Brandegee and the cleo
ton of Hill a serious and, perhaps,
costly mistake.-Meriden Record.
A Genuine Vote of Confidence.

LINES OF AssURDITY.

We doubt IL there be nation on
earth so governed by fads and whims
as our own. Nature IS said to abhor a
vacuum and it would sometimes
seem as If there were hardly any pos
sibility OF Stiffness which some Amer
leans did not embrace. One Of the
latest Of American fads is the mo
breakfast habit. We may well mag
Inc that the notion was borrowed
from the French, who sit up all night
dine late and so have little inclination
for food until the noon lunch hour
But for people who retire at a sea-
sonable hour and have to rise early
in the morning and work in our slim
ulating climate, this mo breakfast"
doctrine is the sheerest nonsense.
Under normal conditions ones
breakfast should be one of the best
meals Of the day-the foundation, so
TO speak, Of the days labor. It is only
two weeks ago that we met a young
lady who works for her living, who
said that she never ate any breakfast.
She had somehow got hold of this fad
and was pursuing it. Whether she has
continued in it we are not informed.
But if she has we are perfectly pre-
pared to anticipate her as finally amaze
mic and forced to abandon her fad.
There seems to be no limit to the
crankisms Of people. It needs only
the merest suggestion to carry people
into any given line of absurdity.-
Newburyport News.
Editor Smith should try things be-
fore he is so positive OF their absurd
fty. The editor of The Bulletin has
been without his breakfast for fifteen
years and has not become anaenic:
and those who know him best declare
that they believe 1t has saved his life.
and these opinions are from those
who will not adopt the method. which
has ten thousand times proved to be
beneficial. Many people have been I'M
able to thus deprive themselves be-
cause they regarded breakfast as the
best neal; and man is so given to
Indulgence that many have backslid-
den after having been greatly benefited
by the practice. The people of Greece
eat but two meals a day and more
centenarians are to be found in that
country than in any other. The mo
breakfast habit" is all the rage in Chi
ma, Australia and New Zealand. as
well as in parts Of this country 1t
is not an absurdlty brother, for it's
good results are self-evident.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY DID.
Result Of Road Dragging by the Farm

Result Of Road Dragging BY the Farm
ers at Cameron, Mo.
In view of the general awakening
for good roads ! will tell the farmers
who are interested Of the wonderful
improvement that has been brought
about in dirt roads by persistent use
Of the road drag. In 1902 the writer
conceived the idea that the farmers in
the vicinity of Cameron, Mo-. should
have the benefit of rural free delivery.
The idea was ridiculed, but persistence
Won The first carrier that left the
Cameron postoffice was accompanied
by brass band over the entire route,
and every farmer that had prepared
his mail box for the free delivery was
"serenaded" This created an interest.
But our roads were in a miserable
condition, full of mudholes and deep
ruts.
At the suggestion Of Postmaster FIJI
son we held 4 'good roads" picnic in
Cameron for the purpose Of emphasiz-
ing the necessity of good roads in or
der to secure the rural free delivery.
The meeting was addressed by D.
Ward King. the ''evangel Of good
roads in Missouri" who explained the
value of the King drag, and other
speakers OF the thousands who at
tended the pianic many pledged them
selves to constant use of the drag.
AS a result we have now In place of
mudholes and ruts well rounded, level
solid roads in all this vicinity. We
have eight rural carriers out Of Cam
eron instead of the one we escorted
with a brass band, and since that
event land values have more than
doubled In this locality. Now even the
renters have caught the spirit Of the
good roads movement, and there IS no
doubt that the voluntary dragging Of
the roads will be kept up.-James Will
liams in Kansas City Star.
