It is more than likely that the stirring features incidental to the closing of last years baseball season have occasloned much pleasant anticipation of the open ing games of che Housatonic league this spring Last year was the banner one in local baseball history. It stirred the sporting inclinations of every baseball enthusiast and made more friendly to the game many who have been indiffer- ent to the sport. The baseball season starts this year with we'll established enthusiasm and the promise of excellent support. It is point ill praise of the people of this section that they should direct their sporting inclinations toward a sport that is so thoroughly clean as baseball.

The heartfelt sympathy of all goes out in full measure to those so terribly afflicted by the fire in our sister com munity of Lenox. The catastrophe came home with especial force to the people of Canaan and vicinity because of the awful death of MT Ventres and family. The tragedy was all the more terrible ill that it is believed to have had it's origin in the foolhardipess of one who stored dynamite and other com mbustibles in the cellar of the building.

A Lynn judge fined the general man ager of an automobile manufacturing company for being drunk in his car. a few days ago. The arrest was not made until the general manager ran the car across the sidewalk-bump-into fence then the policeman thought it time for him to interfere. An intoxicated chauf- feur is as dangerous to community as a man who runs amuck with a loaded gun and should be dealt with as summarilY. Grand jurles in New York have been instructed to indict speed maniacs who run down, maim and kill. The policy of reprimands and light fines for violations of the speed laws will now give way to jail sentence and man. slaughter indictments.

woMEN's HATS vs. SUFFRAGE

A contemporary rushes into the field and aims fatal blow at woman suf- frage. Is it possible, he asks ill effect that anybody can be convinced that a sex which permits itself to be persuaded into wearing such outlandish bonnets as are the style at present and that by a few scheming Frenchmen across the water, could ever effectively wield the ballot If this bakers dozen of French men can lead the entire nation of Amerl- can women by the nose and push their heads into inverted peach baskets what would not few scheming politicians do says our newspaper compatriot. The ministry as we'll as the press has been attacking the prevailing mode of female headgear and Bishop Moore of the NE. Church calls the peach basket hats Korean fap-doodles," and declares that the women who wear them are not real Christians.
 While THE NEWS does not approve internationally of the prevailing mode, it feels tempted, nevertheless, to inter pose its shield and brckler between the weaker sex and the storm of merciless criticism of which it is at present being made the target. The size of the matter is that American womankind has caught the real and original American spirit: she is bound not to be outdone by any body and if it comes to the size of hats she gets into the game for all she's worth and as the Texas cowboy says. Does her durndest. She generally succeeds and in so doing proves to all except the blindest that she has the true blue American blood ill ner veins. If that disqualifies her from being a voter THE NEWS advises her to wear a derby.

Power House Improvements

Power House Improvements
 During tbe past several days only one of the dynamos at the Berkshire Power Company's plant has been in operation The difference in light and power ha, been noticeable. The water in the river is also exceptionally high for this season of the year and the back water 1nterferes with the generation of power. A new gearing is being attached to one of the dvnamos so that when the water is high and the power consequently diminished the high gearing can be thrown in and the handicap be overcome.

the result that for the twelve months
ending with June 30, 1908, the bal
ance on our side was $666, 600,
the highest figure eve touched. But
the current changed soon afterward,
and the balance in our favor for the
year which closed with June 1903,
was $500, 900, 900 less than for the
preceding twelve months. In June
and July, 1909, imports exceeded ex-
ports. Probably August will have a
similar story to tell. The balance
is likely to swing to the other side
of the account when the crops be-
gin to move to Europe. Our cotton,
wheat and corn shipments will turn
the scale in Jul favor. Nevertheless
there is need for hustling up our
