FOR NORMAL SCHOOL
 STUDENTS

Hartford, Conn., March 13.-The joint committee on education favors the plan proposed by the Wilcox bill of making a state appropriation for the esta bIishment. of scholarships or sub sidies for normal school students who cannot afford to pay their own eXpen- ses, and will report bill embodying this idea in the near future. The plan is to allow local boards of education to choose deserving girls-by competi- tiofl or otherwise-who seem likely to make the sort of teachers which the small town schools need, and send them to a state normal school, the state to pay for their tuition and school expenses up to limited amount. This is the plan concerning which Professor Judd of Yale told the Farmers Association that. an appro- priation of $25,000 a year would give the state 15O new teachers of a better grade than was not being turned out each year.

produced in this country. though coffee is one of Porto Rico's products. and can be produced in the Philippines. There is rather more than a possibility that a duty of from to 6 cents a pound will be imposed upon coffee.
 despite the familiar old Republican argument that it would be "a tax on the poor mans breakfast table," If such a duty is not imposed, it will be because a very heavy, surplus of coffee is now held by a syndicate of specula- tors which would rush it here before the tariff duty could go into effect and the government would then derive no revenue from coffee for perhaps year, while the syndicate would gain heavily by adding the amount of the evaded duty to the selling price. Nev- ertheless, a duty on coffee would even
 tually come under the principle of tariff for revenue''s which has for years been denounced by the Republi- can party as pertaining to free trade.

When a jury accepts andzsacts upon the 'unwritten law" there always fol- lows an attack upon the jury system, which is, in our judgment, unjust and unwarranted. Juries werezi got created to serve as superior judgescef facts and law. for they are not supefidr either as sifters of evidence or as interpreters of law. If we correctly Understand, the jury system is intended to reflect public sentiment and thus. to prevent too rigid interpretation of evidence and too infexfble applications of law

For several years the Prohibition

For several years the Prohibition movement has been carriedz on with am energy betokening practically un- limited financial backing" Cost of campaigning has palpably been disre- zarded. Generally speaking, Prohi- bitionists are not men of such wealth. and of such liberality in it's use, as are required by campaign which is coun- try wide in extent and which, in detail reaches down into even the smallest towns. Whence has come the neces- Sary money, in such a large amount has long been puzzle.
 President Maines of the Rhode Isl and Liquor Dealers association de- clares now that John D. Rockefeller is the ''anger' of the Prohibition movement and has been paying the bills for the last three years. His as sertion may be denieds but it looks at least plausible.
 The wonder, of the matter is that a movement which claims to be the greatest moral agency of the country, outside of the churches, can consis- tentIy accept what has been called in some quarters tainted money.'

Secretary Wilson has, refused to withdrew the decisionss that flour bleached with t.nitrogensnerpxide, is adulterated and thus comes within the scope of the Pure Foods Act; It may be assumed that nitrogen peroxide means what is called nitric peroxide by chemists. s4AN4s
 Its principal ingredient is. nitric acid which is made from a combination of saltpetre and sulphuric acid and is de- scribed as one of the, most corrosive agents known and as destroying all animal textures and -TTsostJ vegetable products
 Nitric peroxide comes from, a combi- nation of nitric acid andeoxygen, has suffocating odor and is quite irrespir- ale. .4-ise

President Taft's suggestion as a compromise between the Republican regulars and insurgents in the House, that a committee be appointed to re- viseSthe rules was practically refused by Speaker Cannon when he, insisted that such committee. should be named by himself. Naturally, the insurg- ents cannot accept compromise which would simply mean a continuance of the present situation. It would serve to clinch the power of the Speaker.
 What would MT. Roosevelt do if he were. now President? Would he take the side. of the non-progressive regu- lars, as President Taft has done, or would he be found aiding the progress sive insurgents with robust energy :? The question really seemsTsuperfiuous.

Some were received from points as

The similarity in the handwriting in

Forty-six Of the fifty head
were passed for food, but four of them
were so badly infected that they were
fit only for tankage. Two of these four

be found any place. The four head that
were fit only for tankage were Of the
herd Of fortyfour cattle which the
state purchased in New York. In fact
all Of the most badly infected cattle
were found to have been animals which
were in this shipment.
Six Of the fifty head, on post NOR

The slaughtering of the animals

afternoon in dispatch to the News,
that they had disqualified. in having
touched earth twice before they made
the final landing in the national dis

says the dispatch, "and twice we came
down for water, regardless Of being
disqualified. This rule is very foolish
as a contestant loses from three to FIVE
bags Of sand, and can gain nothing
After ten hours above the clouds in
temperature of 11O, water looks better
to US than prizes, and we concede
without argument the time and dis
tance prizes to other contestants" The
endurance trophy goes to A. Holland
Forbes, pilot of the balloon New York,
which was up thirtydve hours and ten
