 Recognition of Merit
 The Hartford Post has the following to say relative to Hon. E. s. Roberts of East Canaan: '"The reelection, unani- mously, of State Auditor E. s. Roberts of North Canaan in the house Thursday was praiseworthy recognition of merit and capability. MT. Roberts has filled the position acceptably for the past two years and his election for the four years term was justly his due, not particu- larly on the ground that he is veteran of the civil war with an admirable record as soldier, but for the reason that his qualifications for the work of auditing accounts are all that could be desired. He was unanimously nomi- mated by the caucus of democrats, it be- ing the minority party's privilege to have a representative on the auditing board, and was unanimously favored by the financ" committee, despite the strenuous opposition of friends of MT. Yeomans before that committee at the hearings, and the unanimous vote in his favor when the nomination came up in the house was a proper and fitting com pliment to a staunch old veteran and up- right, patriotic citizen"

According to the newspaper reports 'xhich have been going the rounds dur ing the past two week, Massachusetts scrub woman saved $43,OOO in 20 years. When one stops to figure that during tGhis time, if she earned $2.00 per day sCwhich few scrub women do) she would have been paid just $13,52O, It shows that she was no slouch as a financier

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT

W2th much enthusiasm the men seated aat the tables on the occasion of the Ca- rna&n business mems second annual ban qGuet, received J. Henry Roraback's sug- aRestion that ere another year rolls srsnrid a movement toward the erection eaf assoldiers' monument in the town of North Canaan should be started.
 Even now, if the effort IS made and TBroyes successful, the erection of the IHaemQial'w1ll be tardy recognition of t5hekdeeds of valor, bravery, self-sacrifice sand patriotism on the part of the soldiers ~Evho went from North Canaan to the front.
 All about us stand suitable memorials ito Ehe soldier dead, i. G., in Salisbury, Sharon, Great Harrington and other places, erected in some instances by wesdthy and patriotic men or women, 1Lu other instances erected as the result sBS general effort on the part of the people of the township.
 Net only is it due the memory of ttlERe soldier dead that North Canaan sshoald provide a monument but it is ;aiso due to the soldiers who still live sthaS some evidence of public apprecia- sti0n of their service to the country should be made apparent.
 The country can never pay the soldier ~whas it owes him but it can, in various oxsrays, assure him that his service ill '61- So is duly appreciated and the erection s-xE %A khn 0Fh h io sleeping comrades is one of these ways.
 An effort to raise funds in North Ga zKzAan was made a few years ago but for Ss0n1e reason, with which THE NEWS is Hz0s familiar, the task was discontinued :affssr about 5000 had been pledged Scane of the original subscriptions are sx4zu available, we are informed, and we A2xow.ef several loyal citizens who are 9nsady to make liberal donations for this {rSH4p0se and we presume to say that Hhere are dozens more in the town to Twhum this cause will so forcibly appeal ash&S they will contribute as literally as Edfseir circumstances will permit.
 Although there may be a diversity in yssur opinions on other matters, citizens saf the town of North Canaan, here is a proposition that should appeal to your Tzruzted sympathies and patriotism and aE Is hoped that the committee appointed by the business men will find all citizens zEeady to join concerted effort to pro- etsare the necessary funds.
 We not only hope they will find such ito be the case but we know they will find it so. North Canaanites are sympa- .fsssetic, liberal and patriotic and will -zaaIly to the support of this movement.
 At should have been done years ago 48uE better now than not at all.
