 Then the minister cannot always get such good remedies for his ailments.
 A certain Litchfield County lawyer was deeply interested in the recent Sem atorial caucus at Hartford. The result was very unsatisfactory from his point of view. At the announcement of the count, our friend had a pain, large pain, pain that had cause to be big be- cause of his ample waist measure. He rushed out of the capitol down into the place where they have stomach ache remedies. Give me something quick" said he II have got an awful pain" What will you have?" said the waiter.

 In Connecticut it is not necessary for anyone to attempt to evade taxes on personal property. We have exempted taxes on Connecticut corporations. rail road bonds, savings bank deposits and mortgages. It is not necessary for any one to become a tax dodger unless he wishes to avoid his share of the burden.
 One trouble with our system is the lack of uniformity. One town is tax 'd on oue basis aud another 50 per cent. lower. In keeping the grand list down, it means a higher rate. In many towns. inequalities are allowed to continue year after year. A town has a certain amount of money to raise for expenses, you want it to be raised by fair dlstri- button of the burden. The tax laws are adequate and their enforcement rests upon the people of the communities.
 Here are just few needs. We need better assessors, in our towns, men of greater intelligence. We need to pay them more. We used to have them elected for longer terms. We need new revolutions every four or five years. We need more viewing of property and less work in the office. We need more work and more interest on the part of such men as are attending this meeting tonight.

THE W0NER OF SWEDEN.
Great Changes In Their Mental and
 PhycieaI Training.

Great Changes In Their Mental and
 PhysieaI Training.
 In no direction have the recent changes in the Swedish woman's posi- tion been more thorough than in their education, and now many girls are qualifying to start life on their own account. Tn 1870 the universities of Sweden, Upsala and Lund opened their doors to women and allowed them both to matriculate and to follow the pro fession of n physician. Since that date the number of women who have taken advantage of the permission has been steadily increasing and would he larger still but for the heavy fees of the girls high schools. which make education so expensive that students generally prefer the higher Training College of Lady Preceptors, which gives instruction free of cost. The ex- penses of the studies connected with the medical profession and the long course Qrom seven to nine yearsl which It involves from the time of matricula- ton have been a great drawback 10 women, while the requirements nre higher than for my other medical de- gree in the world. Nevertheless fair number are finishing their studies, while many have duly qualified and are practicing physicians. They have already won laurels, Dr. Karolina WI dcrstrom being one of the most re- nowned gynecolOgists in Sweden.
 The women of all classes take m in- terest in politics, and there Is strong and increasingly powerful suffrage par ty in the country. The press Is on the side of the sulTrI@ists, and magazines give frienGlT accounts of their doings We read that with the exception of England the sufrragists of Sweden have without doubt worked more in- defatigably during the past year than those of any other country. Their work has been characterized by intel- ligence. patience, courage. dignity and unyielding determination. The cam paign has been a grand one"
 That 1t Is likely to be successful one as well is proved by the fact that six bills dealing with women's suf- frage were introduced last session into the Swedish parliament. Over hun dred suffrage societies exist In the country, all being affiliated to the Nu- tional Association For Women's Suf- frage at Stockholm. The members are Indefatigable and giYe up their spare time to travelling over the country, holding meetings. distributing lltera- ture and organizing generally. One lady. board school teacher. recently covered 450 miles on foot in the most isolated districts, where she addressed public meetings and spoke privately to the women in outlying places. The Swedish women have n great future before them, and their sterling com mon sense, which is the luHls Of the national character, will be ,f great va,@o 10 them in shaping 1t.

knew nothing about therefore he chose 'Taxes." He came to this conclusion after having seen the list published lately in some of the Iitohfield county papers. s'When I speak of taxation at a country gathering I always preface my remarks by two stories, one of the minister who did not interest his audience. His boy heard two people talking about it. The next Sunday the boy went into the gallery aud dropped pebbles onto those who went to sleep. The preacher expostulated and the boy said: |You keep on preaching and I'll keep 'em awake I always tell an audi ence that if they want to go to sieep, they can. A professor was talking OH a dull topic. Finally he said ''Now W. come to Malaci. What place shall we give Malaci? A little fellow jumped up and said, 'Malaci can have my place.
 ''I attended meeting in Toronto re- gently. The subject of forest growth was discussed and one man remarked that he didn't suppose anything would grow in Connecticut. I have always heard said he that you couldn't have & resurrection in that state until you fertil- ize the ground"
 Recently I attended two tax conven- tions and heard 40 papers on tax systems considered desirable and nearly every feature is embodied in the Connecticut system First there is the entire absence of constitutional limitations. You prob ably know that in the Connecticut con stitution there is no mention ot the word taxes Every provision under

Our Penal system is not correcuve or only partially so. Many of our jails and pcnitentiaries tend to make men worso than they were before.
 9. Der classification of offenders Is unjust. There is no moral distinction between felons and misdemeanants.
 10. The fine system makes a distine- tion between rich and poor. A poor man who cannot pay his $500 fine may have to spend five hundred days in prison to work it out. If hc is rich ho pays the amount and goes free. Im- prisonment should not be made an al- formative for money payments.
 II. The legal treatment of druukon- ness Is irrational. Drunkenness is disease. For its cure we need farm colonies and inebriate asylums.
 12. The County System of dealing with prisoners is inadequate. All state offenders should be under state control. Jalls should simply be used as houses of detention for those awaiting trial.
 l3. Our Penal System is too hard on the family. The family IS often pun ished much more than the man. A probation system can relieve this Con. necticut has done good work in this di. rection by collecting money from pro bationers for the support of their families.
 If. Even worse than the physical condition of our iails is the-compulsory idleness. It is form of slavery to compel men to work and refuse to let them share in any reasonable degree in their earnings, but it is still a worse form of slavery to keep them in idle- ness.
 In eonciuslon, 10 improve our prison system we must revise our laws, adopt the indefinite sentence, extend the pro- bation system, use our lails only for those awaiting trial, abolish the fee system of paying sheriffs, place our penal institutions under State control; make them reformative and corrective, moral hospitals, educational institutions, not luxurious, but with all that is nec- essary for health, such as light, air simple food, exercise, and industrial training, Let productive work be com pulsory. Take off the burden from the family. take the burden from the labor ing man, remove the inequalities of tho fine system, get rid of politics in penal institution. Imbeciles and feeble e-minded persons should not be punished, but placed under proper custodial care. Professional and incorrigible criminals should be permanently segregated by the State.
 Mir. Barrows said that two of the most prominent pioneer advocates of the indeterminate sentence were Judge Wayland and Charles Dudley Warner of Connecticut, and the best monument to both of them would be to build first class reformatory in the state of Con- necticut in which the indeterminate sentence should find adequate illus trattpf,

grand list of Litchfield County has not increased in proportion to that of the rest of the State.
 In this time it has increased but 46 per cent while the increase in the state at large is 77 per cent and the lists in six towns in 1907 were less than in 1893. Anorg these towns are Canaan and Cornwall. Norfolk and North Canaan show increases of no per cent.

GALVANIZED PIPE
FOR CONDUIIS

Borough Electrician Newton Smith
has entered upon the work Of lighting
Memorial Park, which is the only
branch of the work that remains to be
com pleted before the handsome recre-
alton ground is ready for the public
Yesterday the work of laying the
inch and II half galvanized iron pipe
was begun that is to be used as con.
duit for the electric light wire. The
wire is carried into the park from
Center street through Upper Mulberry
street on two neat looking poles.
At the Upper Mulberry street. eu-
trance the wires enter the ground. No
where in the park will the wires be
visible. The metal poles-which are
very ornamental-are being manufact.
urad by the Danville Foundry q Ma
chine company and will be completed
nexs week The lights to be installed
are ten In number. They are known as
the 100 watt lamp and will light
the park up very nicely.
The trench being dug for the gal
vauized pipe is ten inches 10 a foot
in depth. Leading down from Upper
Mulberry street the trench passes
around outside the concrete walk al
! the monument and thence to the Bloom
street entrance. This provides for a
light at each corner Of the monumeut
and one on each side Of the walk al
the edge of the PARK at the ElJo2
street entrance. The four lights re
manning will be distributed about the
park at points where light will be
