number of the members of the state
senate and prominent Duluth busi-

The Sunday Bill.

The governor has, we are asured. the Christian sentiment of the state behind him in refusing to affiX his signature to the bill. The secularists have six days of the week to assert themselves and must keep their hands off the Sunday. The sporting element were jubilant that the liberalizing bill had, under. cover of vaguely phrased clause, succeeded in legalizing profess sional entertainments. They were most interested in it's passage. Workingmen and the various denominations dis played no partiality for the Latimer bill. t
 Connecticut will have to wait for another legislature for a draft of a law which while removing the obnox- ious features of the old Puritan Sab bath will still have an eye to the sanctity of the Lords day. Both the sticklers for the old Puritan Sabbath and the advocates of a more liberal Sunday have two years to think the matter over.-Catholic Transcript.
 Either all classes should have equal Sunday privileges or the restraints which many excellent people think necessary should be strictly imposed upon the whole community. The pres ent playing fast and loose with the law is a demoralizing proceeding which is bringing all law into contempt. All men are certainly not equal before the existing Sunday laws, and for this req son, if no other, they should either be stiffened or liberalized as soon as pos Bridgeport Telegram.
 The house has acted wisely in re- fusing to override the veto of Governor Weeks in the matter of the Sunday ob- servance measure-by far. more wisely than the senate, which passed the measure over the veto.-New Haven Palladium.
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has put his shoulder to the wheel in the work of reforming the abuses of Belgian gov ernment in the Congo Free State. He has written a letter to the London Times urging the powers to convene a European conference to deprive Bel gium of a trust so dreadfully abused and to make other arrangements for the proper government of the Congo and redress or revenge the wrongs in- hicted upon it's people," We had sup posed, although we cannot now recall the exact evidence, that the dreadful abuses" alleged of the Belgian govern ment, had been in some way mitigated or reformed and that the fearful "old man of sea- King Leopold, had been taken off the backs of the suffering people. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, how ever is quite likely to know what he is writing about and his appeal ought to have a strong nfuence.-Bridgep port Standard

The Pluck of the Nenro.

The big negro worker at Pittsburg who faced 50 angry strikers, shot one of them dead and wounded four more, before he wass beaten half to death, stands for spirit that will do as much for the future of the negro in America as that which stirs the activities of Dr. Booker T. Washington.
 Physical bravery strongly defend ing inalienable rights compels admira- ton. When the longshoremen strikers on the Brooklyn water front mostly Italians. were trying to terrorize those who wanted to take their jobs, they succeeded fairly well with other Ital- ians, Greeks and Syrians, But sturdy negroes from down the coast actually terrorized the terrorizers. They car When the strikers saw the negroes coming they lodged into alleyways. The situation was a curious study to those who had always thought of the Sicilian as brave and b1oodthirsty, and of the Ethiopian as timid. shrinking, and quick to run away from any row.
 No sort of education of the negro race will eliminate the necessity of that virility which hits hard. shoots straight and has stomach for fight. And as a strike breaker, at least, the negro is developing just such virility, or displaying it. He sees that the right to work is worth fighting for. He meets force with force. And in so doing he wins respect as well as sym pathy.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Alaska. with more than 6O0,O0O square miles of territory, has virtually 100000 square miles untouched by the explor- CT Yet in 1908 it produced almost s20, 100000 worth of minerals, $19,000,- 900 of which was gold.
 Lack of transportation in the terri tory is the greatest factor keeping back it's development. In these 600,00O square miles there are only 453 miles of wagon road, 3S7 miles of sled road and 255 miles of improved trails. It has only 300 miles of railroad, a con- siderable portion of which is out of repair and idle, and only 50 miles of new road was built in 1908.
 The cost of transportation has made 1t impossible to work any but the rich est of mineral deposits in many sec tions of the country. Supplies must be furnished the mining communities, and except in those remote camps where the gold deposits are extremely rich. difficulty of transportation makes supplies prohibitive. Alaska is ripe for q new era in transportation facilities Chicago Tribune.

A Stronger Pull.

Now that the life insurance inter- ests are joining vigorously in the work of fighting tuberculosis, the crusade will be stronger than ever. It is given out that an interesting and highly valuable experiment is about to be made by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York. The company has made application to the New York state insurance de- pertinent for permission to purchase tract of land of 5000 acres or more, for treatment of policyholders having tuberculosis. It is preapred to spend $100000 a year for the prevention of the disease and without a bit of sentiment. The project is treated as plain business proposition. It is figured out that every 32 minutes some policyholder of the company dies of consumption, and it is said the Prudential Life Insurance com pany pays out sS00.00O a year on account of tuberculosis alone. If the mortality can be reduced a great ex- pense will be economized. It is be- lieved, in the case of the Metropolitan, that there can be made a reduction of one-third in the annual death rate.- Hartford Post.

How Rudolph Peterson Won His Farm in Concord-And He Might Have Done 1t With Much Less.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker tells how Rudolph Peterson made success of 76 acres in Concord, most ly river bottom land. bought for ST. 800, including a cash payment of S2,500. T asked him what did it." said the writer, how at 43, starting with nothing but his hands, he had become so well fixed, and his answer was berries. Of late years his two money crops have been asparagus and straw berries, and the last, he says, have given him his farm. Last season he had unusual success, and received from three acres, after paying for carting to Boston and selling. a little over $1 300. He says he does not ex- pect to do this another year. His leading variety is the Bubach. As to the secret of his success with berries, it was evident he liked them and their care. No weeds, he said, were allowed to grow in his beds, and further than that at picking time all the family must be there to insure profitable handling of the crop. Speaking gen orally, he emphasized the importance of doing everything in season. He has himself lent a hand to the me- chanical work about the buildings and so saved expense. His three-acre as paragus bed has been fairly profitable, but cows he has found to make a net return or i1Itte more lHdn lne Iudnur6 pile He keeps no help in winter two men through the entire summer, and several berry hands Casually Poles) during the berry harvest. They have rooms by themselves in an ell of the house, with separate entrance, but eat with the family, an excellent plan this seems to be with foreign help. I found MT. Peterson just after dinner time, January l, enjoying his paper, and with leisure to give me an account of his farm experience. One conclusion he had reached interested me-that he could have done as well on a place one quarter the size of his own-say 20 acres. Berries, we may agree with him. have been the means of the family's competence, but behind the crop has been the family charac- ter; and qualities of courage. indus try and thrift have contributed mainly to their success

Must Abide Their Time.

The army officers are asking if it took the Wrights five weeks to find weather conditions fit for their aero plane trials of what practical value the machines would be in war where action must be immediate to be effective.- Norwich Bulletin.
 Whatever comes in the future in the way of aeronautic accomplishment must make for certainty as to time and independence as to weather condi- tions or the promise of the present will not be fulfilled. To be sure, the steam ship is still somewhat under the infiu- ence of the weather and our most pow erful battleship would hardly put to sea in search of an enemy in the midst Of bowling gale. But the presence of Slouds, adverse winds that are of no account to the navigator of the water, fogs and other unfayorable conditions which now halt all trials and negative all journeys save those with the bal loon arrangement, will not be bar to the working of the successful aero plane So long as these conditions are & bar there is no success of permanent value.

Tobacco With a Good Name.

Some tobacco growers in Connecti- cut want the states name put on packages containing the domestic product, and while the legislature did not grant their wishes, the idea at bottom is a good one Connecticut wrapper leaf is about the best grown. ranking well with the Sumatra and Florida output, and it is entitled to the protection and benefits which would follow it's proper labelling. A good deal of inferior leaf is sold as Connecticut which has no right to the name. The growers will do well to press their point to successful is- sue. The name is as good as a trademark, and the value of a trade mark or ticket some of the producers of fine cotton cloth could tell them. Lowell Courier Citizen.

Palms Movad 800 Miles.

A difficult undertaking and one which required the work of six men for near 1y two weeks was recently accomplish ed in California, when two thirty-foot palms were moved from the abandon cd residence of H. E. Huntington, on top of Mob Hill, San Francisco. and traasplanted a distance of 800 miles to his new residence at Los Robles, near San Gabriel, Cal. Palm moving is a common occurrence In California, but 1t Is not likely that any have ever been moved such a great distance with such success. Each palm when boxed weighed eighteen tons and string of ten horses was required in order to transport the palms to the railway sta tion, a distance of two miles, through some of the busiest streets in San Frn- eco.-Horticulture
