Tired of Marchinu.

It by no means follows from the non observance of Labor day on Mon- day by a labor parade that the labor cause is losing it's strength. At the same time, it is true that the virulence of the attack of the spirit of organ ization has declined. If the contest were to be forced at the state house before the committee on labor the labor men would show up as strongly as ever. But when it comes to a demonstration of their strength by tramping through the streets, the freshness has worn off, just as it has from the St. Patricks day parade and the members believe that they can render the cause just as much service in a less laborious way for their mus cles. At first there was a belief that the public would be impressed by the sight of their large numbers, and there is no doubt that the idea was sound But familiarity has worn off the first impression. If any parade falls be- low its predecessor in number of men marching, then it can be said that in- terest is declining. On the other hand to keep above the highwater mark of the preceding year every year is an almost impossible task. So 1t is noth- ing against the labor movement that it had no street parade this year.

NEW RUBBER PLANT.
Industry May Bs Established at southinstsn-Good Business Outlook.

A visit of Mr. whittemore of Naug- atuck and Superintendent Warner of the Goodyear Naugatuck concern to the factory of the American Linen company. at Plantsville, has caused a report that the town is to have a new industry, that of rubber manufacture. Both men have spoken fayorably of the factory building and it's location. MT. Warner has new process for the manufacture of rubber goods and Whittemore's capital will back 1t. &c., lectman A. M.

He said: There will be real black smoke con- ing from the factory in a very short time" The factory building in Plants vile has been unoccupied for the past few years. The building has been thoroughly cleaned during the past two weeks and is ready for occupan- cy. It is situated on the railroad and also within few yards of the Quin- nipiac river.

 regret that the present controversy should have arisen.
 How any one who knows Dr. Cook" he said, could for moment doubt him is more than I can see. have been with him in expeditions and have been intimately associated with him. None knows better than I do his sterling honesty, his manly qualities and his high ideals. He is modest to a fault, man who sinks all thought of self in his desire to be helpful to others. It would take a very strong argument to convince me that man like that was a falsifier.
 His conduct in the present situa- ton is fair sample of the kind of man he is. He, has schooled himself to perfect self control. I have seen him keep himself in check in circum- stances so exasperating that l mar yelled that he or any other man was able to do it. He has a serenity that comes from his honest and straight forward nature.
 There are many things about Com mander Peary which l admire. for he is courageous, persistent and as a scientist his ability is conspicuous. He is quick tempered, and his nasty ac- tion in the present case Is due to his disposition. I can readily understand how he has been led into making the attack on Dr. Cook. knowing him as do. For more than twenty years he has been trying to reach the North pole. He is so convincing in his per suasive qualities that he was enabled to induce men of wealth to contribute large sums of money for his expedi- tions, and the newspapers have al- ways treated him with generosity. The press made much of him, praised him without stint, and accepted all his accounts without question. Is it any wonder that he came to regard others as more or less of interlopers?" ?"

Mrs. E.. H. Griffin of Sound beach. lost valuable diamond from a ring she was wearing while alighting from a Sound beach car Monday morning in front of the Stamford Congregational church. The stone caught on her veil and was torn out of it's setting. After a search in which she was joined by a large crowd of bystanders, Mrs. Griffin reported the loss to Chief Brennan. The stone was worth about ss00.
 B. M. Ayres happened to be on the same c\r with Mrs. Griffin and heard her remark about losing the ring. MT. Ayres went down to Sound beach to transact business and on his return to Stamford was attracted by some thing shining between the cracks in the seat which Mrs. Griffin occupied. It proved to be the missing stone. MT. Ayres returned 1t to Mrs. Griffin.

PhiIosephy of Good Cheer.

A Harmony club has been formed in
 New York, and it has applied to the
 supreme court for articles of incor-
 paration. Here are some of the ob-
 jects mentioned in the petition:
 To harmonize people with them
 selves, their surroundings and each other.
 To prove the efficient value of a
 smile and song in everyday life. To establish the perfect unity ol body, mind, heart and spirit. To investigate, formulate and dem- onstrate the scientific laws of happi- ness.
 To enunciate the principles of whole some, triumphant, sincere living. To print the discoveries of modern psychology in simple, attractive guise To put those who want vital know ledge in touch with those who have it To maintain a brotherhood of indi- viduals whose sympathy is the only bond.
 10 impart the secrets of self help a: the highest form of altruism. To promote free discussion of every subject that makes for clear individu. ality of life.
 These are individual policies which if carried out, will do the republic more good than the demands of all the po- litical platforms ever writ. For 1t is not on great principles concerning DO. litical duty that our social and indus trial progress rests: it is in doing tho decent, honest, kindly things in fndi. vidual life. Everything good in thi: land depends, at last, upon the home and business life of the people. It would be good thing if we could all join that Harmony club and prac- tice the ideas that it proclaims. Why it would make this world more like "kingdom come than all the librarieS schools and churches could; in fact, il would be the continuation of the aspir- ations of all these. Cut out these ob-
 jects, gentle reader and paste them in

AMAZING DEVELOPMENT
 IN THE POLE CONTROVERSY
The Lawsuit Brought by the Times Against the Sun and World.

New York, Sept. 15.-Certainly the most amazing development in the North pole controversy is the lawsuit brought by the New York Times against the World and the Sun with the object of restraining them from publishing Commander Pesry's ac- count of his Arctic expedition. It is impossible to believe that the Times acted without consulting a competent lawyer. Why, then, did it not follow hts advice? For surely no lawyer can have counselled it to take such case into court
 Ir the first place, any lawyer must have seen clearly that verdict against the World and the Sun must recoil few days ago it reproduced, with a somewhat disingenuous, not to say small minded, credit to the Herald's European edition instead of to this Herald, the Herald's copyright cable gram from Dr. Frederick A. Cook re- porting his conquest of the pole. Thus the Times has done what it Was pros ecuting other newspapers for doing, and if it won the suit it condemned itself
 That the Times feared to be paid back in it's own coin is proved by the following letter, which the Herald re- ceive6 from the Times in connection with the cablegrarn which it was awaiting from Commander Peary.
 "The Times Letter.
 Dear Sirs-We beg to notify you that the New York Times Company has. under an agreement with MT. Pesry, the sole exclusive rights to pub fish or sell for publication Peary's story of his recent expedition to the pole, resulting in it's discovery. There fore, as an attempt to obtain Peary' s story other than through us has been called to our attention, we deem it ad- visable, both in fairness to you our selves, to advise you to the above effec,, and so avoid any misunderstand- ins.
 As to our relative rights, all re- quirements of the copyright law have been fully compiled with, and any infringement rights will be properly proceeded against. Yours truly,
 The New York Times"
 Coming from a paper that had just shown it's contempt for the copyright laws by publishing the Herald's copy rishted cablegram from Dr. Cook, this communication is as cool as anything that either Cook or Peary found at the North pole.
 Another consideration that should have decided the Times to keep out of tHc law courts concerns the terms O. its bond" with Peary. It must surely have struck the Times that the q nnd" would have to be produced, and i: Is inconceivable that an American newspaper can be proud of such a document, one which makes Shylock's bDi:d seem quite moderate in compari- sor

PRESS OPINION ON
 TIMEs-PEARY SUIT
American Newspapers Anslyze the Ruling of Judge Hand in Copyright Case,

New York. Sept. 15.-American newspapers have taken up the New York Times-Peary copyright mat ter and the recent court decision against the publication mentioned, and hc.e are some of the editorial opin- ioEs:
 What is Public Policy.
 "A judge has decided against the New York Times in its effort to keep Ptary's matter to itself and the sub scl':ters to its syndicate. The decis- ion. however, was based on the fact tat the Times had printed the mat ter in pamphlet and that its contract 1,rk Peary did not give it this par ticu ar right. The broader question of news copyright is not touched
 "The pity is that there is absolutely no ruling by a higher court that will fully determine this question of copy righ'Ins news. What would be public pcl'ty: The point is made that il would be against public policy to give asy single agency the sole privilege O. publication of a world event. In Pcsry's case this is not a strong point He gave the news of his discovery to Al the essential facts were spread broadcast. The story over which the present bother is made is simply a continued narrative printed in install rncnts. at the end of which the read CT finds the tantalizing information that tfere will be more next day.
 "Peary is an artist, and it is won derful the by-products he gets out of a journey. but so far he has not helped the solution of news cop- right"-Baltimore Star.
 Beat was the HeraId's.
 Two Denver contemporaries land others elsewhere are calling upon high heaven to witness the theft of a twice year after the original discovery, of the great nail But 1t was only the other day, when the story was told by a citizen who reached the pole first and had something of interest to tell the News and Times here, and news papers throughout the country in the same position, stole that story from the New York Herald without as much as by your leave and exulted in the theft. Those newspapers which are clamoring the loudest regarding the use of the Peary tale ought to remem- Der the maxim about entering a court of equity with clean hands.
 The Herald secured the great beat on the North Pole discovery and that was glory enough."-Denver Republi- can.
 SpeCtdc3e ts Fathetic.
 Briefly, the court held that news cannot very well be copyrighted. This seems logical In the first place, the public's inteerst and right in news are paramount. If news could be copy righed and exclusive control established over it strange things might be made possible.
 'In the present instance the corner ing of the Peary story has served not only to suppress it in considerable measure by limiting the extent of it's circulation, but it appears to have aroused considerable hostility toward the explorer himself, who is put in the ungracious position of speculatipg on the results of his expedition. This fs unfair to Peary. It is bit pathetic, this spectacle of the great explorer, hooking his chances of success with a publisher in order to get money to make the dash whose results have meant. so much to him and to the world. - Philadelphia Times

on the ice at the beginning of the drift of the

So Mr.. Wellman went way up north, far
away from Sweden, and after spending long
time in the construction of his aerial pole
finder he set sail in his airship in a snowstorm.
The snow was thick high up in that cold eli
mate and it got into the pilots eyes. Conse-
quently the expedition was abandoned for the
time
Next June, however Mr. Wellman will again
set sail for the pole with the assurance that
his machine will perform at least part of the
journey satisfactorily. On ethereal subjects
Wellman has become an expert. He has also
had real polar experience. Mr.. Wellman not
long ago declared that his airship is, for his
own purpose of finding the pole, more efficient
than that of Count Zeppelin, which can sail
all day long without dropping to earth for
more gasoline.
Commodore Peary is to-day scrutinizing arc
tic regions for signs of the location Of the pole
He will go as far north as is possible on his
polar ship Theodore Roosevelt and dogs and
sledges will take him the rest of the distance.
1t will be several years. probably, before the
real fruits of this expedition become known to
newspaper readers of America.
Many lives have been lost in the quest for
the pole That and the south pole, located
somewhere in the Antarctic, are the only un-
discovered parts Of this wide world, and the ma
ton which plants Its flag on either of the
poles will be lucky. for then 1t will own the end
of the earth.

which would greet his eyes would make him

Discovery of the north pole will doubtless be
made within the lifetimes of many citizens of
to-day. anyhow that is what the scientists de-
clare. They say the mere discovery of the
pole is simple. 1t is the conquering of the de-
tails which must be surmounted that require
the thought and efforts.
Most novel OF all plans to plant the American
flag or for that matter any other countrys
flag on top of the pole, is that which some
time ago was proposed by Evelyn Briggs Bald
win. who is now working out details of his
scheme.
This intrepid explorer aims to float to the
pole and take plenty or time getting there. He
laid out the plan in detail before the Harvard
union at Cambridge. Mass, some time ago and
while some blase persons were skeptical, 9TH
ers said they liked the plan.
Here's the way Mr.. Baldwin would do it:
