SENATOR ALDRIcH's WESTERN
TRIP.

Senator Aldrich has been on a mis-
Eionary tour west, has been well re-
ceived everywhere and cordially en-
tertained, and looking over the field
at the end of the-trip no one can. say
that there is amy Evidence whatever
that he made an impression upon the
people in general on the subject of
central bank for the United States.
He talked to the bankers upon the
necessity for financial Capitalization,
but it was all in a general way, as he
could not forestall the report of the
commission, OF which he is the head,
by making revelation Of its plans
A western paper observes that while
Senator Aldrich's utterances have been
widely read, they have not been pre-
scented to popular audinces, but mainly
to men in the banking business. Lit
tie has come to the surface thus far
to indicate that Senator Aldrichs
western, trip has added strength to the
central bank movement. One reason
for this is that he has not presented a
specific proposition. He has not ven
tured to discuss in detail the features
of the central bank system which the
monetary commission will favor.
Senator Aldrich's real mission may
have been to personally get in touch
with the great bankers of the west and
to quietly find out their ideas of i'm
proving the currency system of the
country. and he may have received the
very information which will make ac-
ceptable the plan of the monetary
commission which he is complained of
for not giving out.
II he has not made visible impress
sion upon his hearers during his tour,
1T is quite probable that they may
ligye. made an impression upon him,
wlich may prove to be the most i'm
-n..tant

THE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
SPEAKS.

1t Is not strange that State High
way Commissioner Macdonald does
not feel inclined to argue with his
critics. He knows it is Improbable,
and should he lend himself to that
stunt he would have no time to at
tend to his legitimate business.
When he speaks he has something to
gay, and usually overwhelms some Of
his critics with facts. as he did when
he said he had used 10000 gallons
upon roads Of this state the past
year, and also when he informed the
public that the new Berlin turnpike.
which have been over-tested while in
a green condition by enthusiastic au-
to-owners, was being repaired at the
expense of the contractors, not at the
expense Of the state.
His reason for certain delays are
90 clearly in the interests Of economy
that no objection can be made to them
nw any rational taxpayer.
In guarding the treasury and look
ang out sharply for every interest of
the state, Highway Commissioner
Macdonald has excited the opposi
tion of all the would-be grafters, all
the automobilists who do not want to
be taxed In proportion to the damage
their machines do to these good roads,
and the hotel keepers who fear that
a special tax upon automobiles from
other states win lessen the number of
visitors and injure their business.
It was shown at Hartford last win
ter that enc hotel In this state took
On $4,000 from these interstate trav-
Al M xmra1 nj oh that fho
automobile traffic damaged the good
roads to the extent Of $4,000, which
is a tax upon those not owning auto
mobiles. No special tax-law was
passed, but that one is necessary or
that such a law will eventually be
passed, no honest citizen can doubt.
The Hartford Times thinks the most
important thing said was, that the
lowest responsible bidder does not al
ways get the contract, but that he
takes him into the inner Office and
goes over the matter with him. He
says that he invariably succeeds in
andueing him to cut down the figures,
and that very recently he cut down
one bid so per cent, and that by his
practical knowledge of the work and
ats cost that he frequently saves from
$4,000 to $4,000 week in awarding
contracts which have been advertised
as to be let to the lowest bidder.
The interests who would have the
taxpayers bear all the burdens while
they go scot-free, and the combina-
tions TO make extraordinary dividends
out OF state work, are after MacDon-
AIDS scalp and we must admit that
they make a great neal Of noise and
considerable trouble.

vERMoNTs HuNriNa.ucENsE
LAW.

Every state that has passed a
license law for the control of hunters
has been surprised by the number Of
hunters there are who are ready to
pay the license fee.
There were $4,000 people licensed to
hunt in Vermont. and they paid $15,-
267.43. From what has been learned
Of hunters and hunting in the license
states 1t seems as. IL there were In
the six New England states nearly a
quarter of a million of men who at
some season Of the year go to the
woods for game; and in most Of the
states the hunters seem to be all out
of proportion to the game to be hunt
ed.
Commenting upon the results Of the
new hunters license law, the Rutland
News says:
''This income Of s15,2s7.4s is beyond
all auticipations. The receipts will
make the state fish and game depart
ment more than self-sustaining. The
commission heretofore has been a
source of expense to the state. The
income WIFI pay all damages done by
deer, the salaries and expenses of the
game commissioner and his assist
ants. and leave a margin besides. 1t
is of interest to note that the dam
ages done by deer this year will be
paid by the state TO the amount 'of
something over $4,000. an average of
about s12 to each claim for damages
registered. OF this amount s1,072 was
paid in September. In 1908 the total
amount Of deer damages paid was
1856. That does not make a very
bad showing"
AS source Of revenue as well as
means Of regulation, the hunters-h-
cense law is all right everywhere.

NOT A TRIVIAL DISORDER.

Now that the season for whooping
cough is at hand, DR.. J. H. Townsend,
in the monthly bulletin Of the state
board of health, calls timely attention
to the seriousness of the complaint
when neglected. He says:
Several times Of late, advice has
been sought from this office as to
whether any attempt should be made
to control whooping cough by quaran-
tine. The town health regulations re-
quire that this disease be reported and
children suffering with it be excluded
from school, but It Is not one of the
diseases requiring quarantine and the
attempt Is seldom made to keep chill
dren having it from running about the
streets injecting others.
'In Connecticut whooping cough
causes more deaths than either
measles or scarlet fever, and about
half as many as diphtheria, besides
being recognized as one of the predis-
posing causes of tuberculosis, so that
1t is not always as trivial disorder
as II is sometimes regarded. The sus-
ceptibility to the disease diminishes
with advancing age and beyond the
age of five the mortality liz very slight,
therefore young children especially
should be carefully guarded from ex-
posture to infection. 1t is propagated
by contact or close association with
the sick and is rarely conveyed by
a third person, so that to confine a
child on his own premises is usually
sufficient to prevent his spreading the
disease. When it has become epidem-
ic in a town, it is doubtful whether
quarantine win do very much good,
but in small communities where it is
possible to get hold Of the first cases
much can be accomplished by such
measures and these ought always to
be adopted"

Can Your Canary Sine |?

If you want your canary to sing
sweetly and softly, see that the cage
is not placed in a. very strong light.
The light makes canaries hop about a
great deal, and if they do this their
notes soon become very loud and
piercing.
Some canaries will, of course. sing
well no matter where they are placed;
but the cage should never, in any case.
be placed in a draught, as the birds
catch cold very easily. All songbirds
should be shielded from every possible
chance of cold.

Cor Thanksaivina Pies.

For the making of good pastry. pas
try -four, the best of shortening, all
utensils and ingredients properly cfdll-

delightful for pastry novelties or the
upper crust or rims of some of the
