And here l will digress in Iaver Of reYerential word for Mir Bradley. who was known as singular man ot ability. In my boyhood days l was greatly amused over his quaint en- pressions of sound sense spoken with his piping voice, but the footprints of time reveal outeomes that he clearly foretold many years in advance of their naturalization, and l give his memory the rank of one of Corn walls most useful citizens, and give his plan for draining tnls particular swamp an unqualified endorsement.
 But who shall pay the expense9 The owners of the land are not in po- sitlon to undertake the work, and 1t is not to be expected that public sen- timent would favor draft upon the town treasury, and here we are brought to the direct questioh-can State aid in reasonable amounts be secured for drainage worn in all of our towns?

STATE AID FOR DRAINAGE WORK
 From Connecticut Farmer,

Directly opposite my old home in Cornwall the shed-water divides one part running northwesterly a dis tance of about ten miles and empty ing into the Housatonic river at Falls Village, and the other part running southerly a distance of about two miles, thence westerly about six miles and emptying into the same river at Cornwall Bridge. From the point of beginning toward Falls Village the water makes very slow progress for a distance of about three miles through an almost dead level section of lowland, representing many acres of the naturally most prOdustiye land in town, and the southerly course for about two miles represents practical iy the same condition. Now this one particular section of rowland full of water is only one of many in our town and hundreds of similar tracts are scattered all over the state, con- sequently a system of drainage that in working order would relieve this

THE NEW P0LL-TAX LAW.

Those citizens who have neglected to honor themselves by paying poll and military taxes as required hy law must have a care in the future since conduct of the same kind may bring to them dishonor and disgrace. The old law had no teeth in it and there was no peril in violating it's proyis- ions, but the new law makes each and every male resident between the ages of 21 and 60 years liable to criminal prosecution for tax lodging, unless legally exempt from such pay ment. The law further provides that delinquents She. work the sum

The state by this enactment says to every man liable to poll or military taxes: You must pay or go to jail!" and the law makes it the compulsory duty of all prose- cutting officers in the state to cause the arrest of every citizen who is liable to the tax and neglects or re- fuses to pay it.

DEATH OF MRS IRA BOOTH.
 Mrs Ira Booth passed away at her home, Tuesday afternoon, aged Fl years. Funeral services were held at the house, Thursday afternoon, Rev Charles Emerson officiating very i'm pressively. Interment was in the Center cemetery. Mrs Booth was a woman much loved in the neighbor- hood. She leaves a husband, two daughters, a son and several grand children, who will sadly miss her. The usual number of pranks were played, Halloween night, by the restless boys of the neighborhood, such as the distribution of gates, ladders and lawn furniture. It is hoped another evening they will gc the rounds and replace the articles disturbed.

SENATORS. AND SO FORTH

Mir. Root. in his address to the ley
islature Of New York. which had just
elected him to the United States SEN
ate al the dictauon of Theodore
Roosevelt, announced that he VAS on
posed to the direct election Of sena-
tors by the people giving as a rea
son. You cannot take power away
FROM public bodies without having the
character Of these bodies deterior
ate Which shows how little Mr.
Root really knows about the charac-
ter OF public bodies. The argument he
uses was oya9thrown by the bold
basons at Ruunymede Its relagatiop
was confirmed by the deeapitation OF
Charles l. Of England because. being
n public body. he would not submit
to have power taken away from him.
And then it might strike a strictly
logical mind that character and pow
er are essentially different qualities
or public body, with no essential
direct connection between them. The
more power public or private body
has the less likely it is to have A
character suitable to The best dis
charge of its duties. A pubic ar other
