A DRAMATIC SUCCESS.

The local players are highly elated over their success in the drama Among the Breakers" which they presented to a full house on Wednes- day evening of last week. Nothing but praises meet them on every hand 9rd" they feel repaid for the time and effort which they have put into it. It would be a hard matter to single out any one player for special mention, as each part seemed espe- cially adapted to the one who gave the interpretation. But "Scud," with his natural antipathy for the IIibernian "Sorr," only had to open his lips to bring sympathetic roar from his audience, sometimes even to the detriment of the more touching and bea ltiful parts of. the play. The proceeds amounted to nearly S70, and are for the benefit of the o. B. s. The visitors were numerous; a load from Goshen, another from Bantam, numbers from Cornwall and Corn wall Bridge, while Dr and Mrs H. G. Stevens came all me way from New Preston and Miss Maude McCready from Danbury. There were also Mrs George Ford and Mrs Olive Hum phrey from Canaan, who remained as guests of Mrs L. J. Nickerson. It is interesting to note that the cloak worn by Mother Carey' in the play was a least 150 years old, and of 1omespun, it having belonged to the grandmother of Isaac Marsh, and is now owned by Charles R. Smith. This week Thursday the play was taken to Lime Rock, under the aus pices of Weataug Tribe, No. AT, l. 0. R. M., and it is expected it will be taken to Cornwall Bridge on Tues
 lay evening of next week under the auspices of the A. 0. U. w., and later be repeated here for the benefit of Lht Grange.

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be amused at the recent discoveries that oatmeal is the best food in the world.
 Our scientific men have been making experiments which prove that Amerl- cans eat too much fat and grease and not enough cereals.
 The Scotchmen say: Look at our nation as proof. The sturdiest nation on earth" Still we have one good point to make. We make better oatmeal than the Scotch.
 They buy Quaker Oats and consider it the leader of all oatmeals to be had anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in fam lily size packages at 25c or at 5Oc for the package containing a piece of inc china The regular size package sells at 10c. Follow the example Of the Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast every day.
 All grocers sell Quaker Oats.

Of the President-elect, and the square

from his utterances, that President

colored people Of the South. / be-
lieve he will encourage with all his
power fostering good will between
the Southerners and the colored peo-
pie. He has come out in an open
public statement and in that he has
said that one thing is fixed beyond
the possibility Of change, and that
one thing Is the constitutional rights
Of the colored people Of the South
must be respected. And | say to
you, fellow ministers and citizens,
the Negro into good citizen. The
more we do for the colored people
the more we do for ourselves, for
the rights Of the pToudest citizen on
the banks Of the Ohio are safe only
when the rights Of the meanest
Negro are respected. The Negro III at
strives toward higher things, If he
| strives rightly for this ideal will get
it. Nothing can keep race striy-
ing morally, righteously, and justly
| for attainment, from the highest
pinnacle Of attainment, and nothing
should keep it from the height"
The Rev. J. w. Robinson, the col

told the ministers that eff the Negro
race does not rise it will pull down

.sThea Washington Herald, an anti
Roosevelt IanH-Taft and anti-Repub-
lican localh organ, took occasion last
week to make an editorial attack on
Auditor Ralph W.. .Tyler's manage
ment of his Office. The article,
which was full Of glazing errors, at
tempted to show that the work of
the office OF the Auditor for the
Navy was eighteen months behind,
causing confusion .among the 'ac-.
counting and disbursing officers of
the Navy. The cause of the alleged
trouble was said to be the fact that
the most competent clerks were seek
ing transfers to other departments,
not caring to serve under a Negro
politician from Cincinnati" ETC., ad
naqseam: The Herald made a feeble
case for iteslf, so it was not difficult
for Mr.. Tyler to demolish the entire
structure the next day in a we'll
tempered card to the. editor of the
paper. MIR. Tyler owned up that he
was colored-and here the truth told
by THE, Herald came to an abrupt stop,
All other allegations were proven to
be absolutely false. Not only did
Mr. Tyler show that the work of the
'office was not eighteen months be-
hind, through encouragement on
his part, but that when he assumed
charge in 1907, it was two years be-
hind, and that he, with increased
burdens and an inadequate force, had
brought the work UP to within six
months Of current--wbich in the de-
partmeDts is practically current-and
had been complimented BY. many ex-
pert accountants. He showed also
that wherever there had been trans
8ers, the persons who left, asked for
positions elsewhere because they
could secure larger salaries by. the
change.
Gontradicting the assertion that
there was an exodus on account Of
his color, MT. Tyler stated that the
number Of applications for transfers
from other bureaus to his office, was
sufficient to redute any such CON
tentioh. AS far as being a 'politi-
cian' is concerned, & the Auditor
pointed out that the principal cb-
lection to his appointment was that
he vas not a politician but a bust
ness mana journalist etc. And,
finally, Mr.. Tyler does not hail from
Cincinnati" as stated by the Herald,
but from Columbus. The only fact
that the Herald could make stick
was that Mr.. Tyler was "coIored. "
The latter admitting this, and prov
ing all other allegations false, the
case is thrown out of court on gene
raj principles. No other sheet will
venture a war of words with the
doughty Auditor for the Navy, nor
make any further EFFORT to spring the
color question upon the Negro Office
holders hereabouts. .'.. ~.
