rAEr As A noLEER

If President Taft is not great golf CT he is certainly one of the greatest men in golf from at least two points of view. The golfers feel as proud of Taft as tho country does, and why should they not7 All the links of forty-six states are open to him and the honorary memberships which are coming to him exceed as a special compliment anything that any golfer on earth ever experienced. Letters keep bling into the White house mail aoQuainting the president of his cleo tion to honorary membership of clubs which cater to the royal and ancient game. The president having fixed upon Beverly. Mass, as his summer residence, what should be more appro- priate than that the Beverly Golf club of Chicago should duly take action making him an honorary member of that club? And he has accepted, for the club is now in proud possession of the letter which says so. So it is that wherever the president may trav- el he will find himself right at home if there Is a golf course in the vicinity. So far as early season indications go there will be more golf played on the North shore this season than ever since tho days that the game was a fad.

THE DE-SNORER.

The ingenious men of the country have discovered that the rooster can be prevented from growing by tying his wings down, and that humans can be stopped from snoring by tying their nose. up. Both of these discoveries are things to be thankful for. There is no reason why the man who in- vented the de-snorer nose-c clasp should not be just as distinguished as the maker of the de-horner for cattle. While few persons ever confess that they snore, there is no doubt that there are a score of millions of snor- CTS in this great country of ours, and think of the man who has the power to silence them all. But this man, who is a poor man, is now charged with being a fraud, for he borrowed the money to start the business of manufacture from a New York barber, who, not seeing any "de-snorers' on the market, had the inventor arrested on the charge of fraud. A magistrate will now pass upon the inventors de- fence, that the capital was just enough to begin manufacturing but made quate to put "de- -snorers" on the mar ket in commercially practical num- bers. Let us hope that the defence will prove true and that this prosecu- ton may be good advertisement for the thing needed and alleged to have been accomplished.

m. Hindu Who Wont to Church.

One morning I attended a fashion able Fifth avenue church, where I was greeted by a benignant looking middle aged man wearing a 150 rupees suit.
 Glad to see you" he said.

 well? You see, we spend money like water on this institution. Our aim Is to keep 1t exclusive. Our effort is to make this church look the swell est in the world. Only very wealthy people attend the church services. They do not care how much expense is incurred. It cost us nearly a million dollars to put up the building. Half a million was spent in furnishing it. Look at the artistic, stained glass win dows; at the magnificent upholsteries and draperies; at the carpets. imported from Persia. We employ large force of men to keep the church immacu- lately clean. The choir Is made up of the best talent available in the city the musicians, mostly, are imported from the stage. The organist is a high salaried man-way up in his profess sion. The pastor of the church is paid what would appear to you to be a fab- ulous salary."-St. Nihal Singh in Hin dustan Review.

pRAYs TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

One of the strangest petitions ever sent into legislature Is that of a Minnesota doctor, who, believing his physical ailments to be incurable, asks the legislature to empower his medi- cal adviser to put him to death to end his misery. He believes 1t is within the power of law-making body that can order criminals executed, to au- Shorize an execution for the relief of suffering where the agony is intense and the future hopeless.
 This is right along the line of thought presented some years ago by Judge Simeon Baldwin of this state, when it created sensation even be- yond our borders. The legislative bod ies not only have passed laws com polling the killing of dumb beasts that are in agony or have been maimed, and make it a penal offense to neglect to despatch them under such excru- ciating circumstances.
 This suffering doctor puts this issue Up to the legislature in a form to test it's nerve, and the question Is whether they will grant the prayer of this petitioner. Should they do so they will have established a prece- dent for executions of mercy for which a few men have been pleading for years

A NICE JAPANESE QUALITY.

A people who have a grateful tenn perament are regarded with favor ev- anywhere. The Japanese are of this quality Tn perusing the Sydney, N. S w, Stock Journal, the other day, we ran across this:
 Tn the year 1906 there was a fam inc in Japan and our readers contrib uted 9107 towards a relief fund. Soon after we received receipts from the Japanese concerned, and sent them on to the subscribers, but only about a dozen came. We were sorry that no more arrived, for they were interest ing mementoes to keep.
 This week we were rung up for the addresses of the other subscribers and it appears that the balance of the receipts have come to hand, along with a little wooden cup for each one, and I have handed over the addresses, as far as possible, to the consulate. They will be sent out at once, and l hope every subscriber to the fund will receive one"
 This country has aided a great many famine sufferers in the past half-century, and while they mani fested gratitude in the mass they did not thus pay their respects to the in- dividual donors. The Japanese are a wonderful people

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
An Open Letter to Connecticut Sports.
 men.

Mir. Editor. Two prominent sports men of Connecticut, Russell Perkins of Pomfret Center and Arthur B. Lapsley of Brooklyn, Conn.,, issued a little while ago notice to the sportsmen in gen. eral of Connecticut, requesting them to attend a meeting called for May 10, 1909, to be held at the Allyn house, of Hartford, with view of organizing a state Sportsmen's Association for the Protection of Game and Fish, and for a better enactment of laws, that would tend to increase the supply.
 The response in person from the eight counties composing the state was most flattering, and the enthusiasm of the delegates foreshadowed most suc- cessfuI results, and it's not going out Of our way in prophesying from the expression of feelings and interest manifested on the occasion of these preliminary proceedings, that the pro- ject Is launched under the most fa- vorable auspices of accomplishment, and ali that remains to make 1t per- feet success, is the united support of all interested in the subject
 It Is little enough to say that this cause is worthy of the deepest con- sideration of all residential devotees of the gun and rod, and let 1t be un- derstood that the usefulness of this or ganization won't stop at the mere fact of producing birds to shoot or fish to catch, as l shall instance in state ment that one of it's prime objects is a mora genial and comprehensive un- derstanding between sportsmen, i'm structing those In need of better interpretation and obedience of the laws, promoting socially better and more efficient relations between sportsmen, having superauous and in- active statutes Repealed, and codify- ing in a concrete form laws produc- ing the greatest efficiency eliminating all possibilities for technical escapes by evaders of the law.
 This work may seem trifie start ling, but its accomplishment replete with beneficial results can be easily attained by the cooperative efforts of sportsmen, and their throwing a little enthusiasm in the work that will even tUally produce the greatest benefits to the greatest number.
 l hope all will view this embryo rally in the same light as the projec- tors who wisely foresaw the necessity of parent organization with its wider scope and more powerful influences.
 In conclusion will say trust to see all good sportsmen interested in the preservation of, and increase of birds, fish and game animals, the betterment of laws conserving to this end, give this project, of. which I have tried to give a comprehensive synopsis, their unqualified support and adherence.

As us s.e. ,t

MT. Editor: If MT. Lake wishes to be nominated and elected governor of Connecticut in 1910, he will have to drop his public utilities bill. I do not think it possible for any man to be elected on such an unwise and ill., timed act as this. The present legisla- ture shows it does not want any such law. The people of Connecticut do not want an act passed that will usurp the powers of the legislature and put this power in the hands of a small commission.
 This act is one of the fundamental principles of the democratic party which has been advocated in different forms for the last fifty years by that party. It is direct attack on the industries of this state.
 The republican party should drop such acts as this and launch out on broad and general principles of states manship and see if they cannot do something to promote and revive the industries of this state.
 It is time to call halt on these commissions, secret service agents, and other paid hirelings to go about the country to injure the industries of this country.
 The present panic was caused by the attack of the federal government on the railroads and other corporate wealth more than by any other cause. MT. Bryan said two or three years ago President Roosevelt was stealing his policies and principles and applying them to the government.
 The condition of the country today and for the last two years warrants this assertion of MT. Bryan to be absolutely correct. W. A.

A Dangerous rieId.

If any one thinks that the hunting game the Roosevelt party is playing in Africa Is safe and easy one, let him read the story of Edgar Beecher Bronson in the May Century about the perils of hunting in just the very re- zion where the ex-president's party now Is. Not only are lions and. rhi- noceroses killing people who attack them, but the lions steal Into camps by night, kill men and lug them of without the others in the camps know ing it, and show decided preference for white meat over the black meat to which they are more accustomed. Ii is certainly an exciting story that this old hunter tells.

CIRCULATION
COURTESY AS AN ASSET.

The great business houses and cor porations of the country are openly telling their employees that courtesy is an asset of great value in the business world, and they counsel those in their employ to bear this in mind, as by courtesy they help themselves as well as promote the business interests of the company.
 The Idea that courtesy costs noth- Ing is an error. The cost of courtesy is self-control under trying as well as pacific circumstances, but 1t is cer- tainly worth all 1t costs. Courtesy not only pleases patrons, but 1t allays friction and 1t not only facilitates business but sweetens life, Courtesy makes c man more valuable in any walk of life and adds to the charm of d woman in whatever capacity she may be acting. It Is a valuable asset and is to no one more valuable than to tho posgessor.

Governor Weeks is among those who thinks that there is good chance of a public utilities bill passing this ses- sion of the legislature. He has been interviewed by the Hartford Post on the prospects of the bill passing and this is what he has to say: No per- son can foretell that. The special joint committee having the preparation of the bill in charge will, have every reason to feel confident, be thor onghly competent and conscientious enc. and will produce a measure more acceptable to the people than the one unfavorably reported.
