HEARST SUPPRESSED.

The papers now announcing the sup pression of William H. Hearst are unaware that he represents the un- suppressable type of man. This is not the first time Hearst has been sup pressed. His enemies thought that they had suppressed him in California before he decided to make a chain of newspapers and become a national figure. When Hearst was made the democratic nominee for governor of New York by the most daring and openly corrupt practices ever wit messed in a political convention and was beaten by 50,000 plurality when every other candidate on the ticket was elected, his foes were sure that he was suppressed; and two defeats as candidate for mayor. the second showing a falling off in strength and popularity, will not suppress him. He has the money and the ambition and the face to make a mark in life, and if 1t is a crooked mark he hopes to strike the line of beauty by and by. William R. Hearst likes to be in the public eye, he likes to do sensational things, he enjoys having his high links" commented upon. He Is any thing to win, if his record does not belle him, and for a young man he certainly cuts dash. Tn America he can cut dashes just as long as he feels like 1t if he puts down the coin of the realm to make them go.

A NEW GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT

An exchange makes the claim that good roads would save the lives of thirteen human beings every day in the year, because they would be so much more attractive than the sleep cred beds of the railroads that men would prefer them to walk upon, And it is pointed out that walking on the railroads is tedious and difficult. The ties are too far apart for some walk CTS, too close together for others, and the stone ballast used on many of them gives most uncomfortable foot ing.
 It is also pointed out that in Eng land, France and Germany where good roads were built before railroads were known, and where they are kept in the best condition for travellers of all kinds, there are very few people killed while walking on the railroad tracks, because very few walk there.
 One naturally calls to mind the au- tomobiles and the new perils of the highway as opposed to the alleged safety here referred to, but since in sixty fatalities in Connecticut during the month of October only one is charged to the automobile traffic. our fears in this direction may be more intense than the real situation war rants.
 There is no disputing the superior advantages of good roads whether considered in the light of saving hu- man lives. decreasing the cost of transportation or increasing the value of all adjacent property.

THE DIVORCE HABIT.

Recent statistics issued from the census bureau show that divorce wa vers with the times as well as that the habit increases several times faster than the population.
 The divorce rate in the United States is now higher than in any other country except Japan. The report says: Between 1870 and 1880 the rate of increase for population was 30.1 per cent and for divorce 79.4 per cent. In the succeeding decades, 1880 to 1890 and 1890 to 1900, the rate of in- crease for divorce and the rate for population. both declined somewhat yet the rate for divorce remained mark edly higher than the rate for popula- tion. Tn the decade 1890 to 1900 the rate of increase in divorce was no less than three times the rate for population. while in the decade 1870 to 1880 the rate for divorce was only two and two-thirds the rate for popula- tion."
 It is found that the divorce rate de- clines in periods of industrial depres- sion. At first reflection this seems hard to understand. The explanation of this peculiar phenomenon is doubt less to be found in the fact that the swift pace and the extravagant living of flush times tend to increase the divorce rate, while the simple life which follows upon the christening touch of hard times is conductive to domestic peace.
 The classification of divorces by oe- cupation shows that actors indulge more freely in the divorce habit, in proportion to their numbers, than any other class. Further, the report states Musicians and teachers of music seem to rank next to actors in the relative frequency of divorce. In South Dakota they rank first, in West Vir- ginia they share first place with the actors, while in three of~the remain ing states they are second, in three, third. and in one, fourth. Conner cial travellers apparently rank third; and the figures show that divorce is least frequent among clergymen and agricultural laborers."
 As bad as the showing is, perhaps we have reason to be thankful that it is no worse.

 "Well I saw one statue, dressed in creation, and several things with marble pine cones for heads that look ed as if they had been brought from the cemetery. saw one costume that had sat on it's purse and got up with the purse sticking to its skirt"
 "Why that's ever so fashionable

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Big Year for cranberrias.


 After all the tales of woe over the alleged failure of the cranberry crop this is to be big year for that ex- cellent and appetizing article. Even though the Thanksgiving turkey may be more difficult to get and less de- veloped In it's admirable proportions, it will be comfort to have plenty of cranberry sauce, for that goes well with some other things besides turkey. This is to be great year for cram berries" says the New Britain Her aid. "The crop is a large one and the price so far is lower than that of last year. This ought to arouse some en- thusiasm for Thanksgiving. when the cranberry is given the center of the table next to the national bird. If cranberries are to be low that cannot be said of the price of turkeys. That is going up instead of down."-Bridge- port Standard.

OPEN SEASON FOR TAME DEER.

There is no doubt that the legal pro- lection of deer domesticates them to such a degree that they lose their wild and wary ways and become too easily the victims of sportsmen-in fact, they do not furnish exciting sport, only just victims for slaughter.
 Vermont has had week of it and over 1000 deer q day fell to the hunt CTS, but the week has gone on rec ord as week of brutal slaughter in- stead of a week of sport.
 New Jersey has had it's first open season in ten years-it being legal to shoot the deer each Wednesday in November, but dogs and rifles can not be used The Newark News com nents thus upon 1t: Each hunter may legally kill one deer. This can hardly be called sport. It Is little more than crawling up on tame animals and firing q charge of buckshot at them. Tor the deer have had protection for ten years and have become so tame that they iningle with the farmers cattle. They have been seen in herds of half a dozen or more. feeding in the fields and woods of South Jersey, and at times they have had 10 be driven out of the garden. The state paid big prices for deer, only a few years ago. and now these will probably be killed during the present month That's sport. It's the same way with quail, only that the live stock is renewed every year at heavy cost, to be killed off in the autumn"

THE HookwoRM.

We learn from the Philadelphia Times that the hookworm is the germ of laziness in warm climates and the south is not the only section afflicted with this parasite. It is stated that when the Americans took possession of Porto Rico in 1898 they found prob ably three -fourths of the population in rundown and anemic condition. Medical officers of the army saw, but did not understand Not until an ar my medical officer, Capr. Bailey k- Ashford, made careful investigation, was the real cause discovered. Then it was realized that this terrible hook worm disease had seized on probably 7Oo 900 people out of about a million inhabitants in Porto Rico.
 This is not so long ago; but by per sstent and systematic campaigning the hookworm is being slowly and surely exterminated. There was no million dollar fund. but the inspired energy has resulted in a wonderful change.
 It is also stated that h'the Porto Ri- can experience shows, however, that not only must patients be treated, but that communities must be taught to observe the principles of sanitation

trouble in a girls high school in Brooklyn. An edict has gone forth against false hair and other forms of artificial decoration. A week ago the principal told the girls very plainly that they must leave off all rats, switches and such like things and come to school with only their own indignation meeting and denied the right of Authority. some of them say iIEg that they would rather be eK- pefled than appear as "frights" with out their rats and switches and puffs.
 The principal said nothing. but the other day she spotted a pretty blonde pupil whose head was so fixed out with store hair that it looked like a No. IF size golden halo. Moreover, of rouge. The girl was ordered to the principals office, and when she emerg- ed some minutes later her eyes were red with weeping, her cheeks were shiny from a recent application of soap and water, and her hair was brushed back, smooth and tight, and done up behind in a neat and school girly "pigtaiP' braid. Then several others were picked out and made to remove rats and wash their faces.
 All of which, of course, is perfectly right and proper. Schoolgirls of ten- der age who undertake to use store hair and kalsomine should be earnest ly spanked by their parents. It is only a grown up girl who can fresco her countenance and pile up a half bushel of store hair on her head in a wise and common sense manner. Certain things in this world should be re- served for us eminently sane and sen sibie grown-ups. Children should be kept in their places.--Providence

Mrs. Pankhurst's visit to Connecti- cut has not resulted yet in any demon- strations tending to shake the tradi- tions of the Land Of Steady Habits. Such Connecticut women as want the ballot have paid her respectful hom- age as a noted propagandist. and oth- sers not yet convinced on the subject have listened with interested curiosity to one of their sex who has served a term in jail for cause that is dear to her and her violent sisters. But if Mrs. Pankhurst is looking for Ameri- can ground in which to SOW seeds of disorder she is apt to be disappointed in Connecticut. = Waterbury Republi- can.
