MAYOR MAY VETO
 NEW HARBOR LINE
Will First Inquire If It Is Satisfactory to Rail
 road.
Did Not Affx His Signature to the Bullard Resolution. This Morning, Although He Signed Balance of Council Proceedings.

Mayor Lee in discussing the harbor line action of the Common Council last night, said this morning that he could see but little difference between the government harbor line and the com promised city line, except that he be- lieves the new city line leaves it op- tional with the railroad company whether it will remove the Naugatuck wharf or not.
 The amended report of the commit tee on harbor improvements was the only act of the council the Mayor did not put his signature to this morning. It is understood that his intention is to learn from the officers of the railroad company if the new line is agreeable to them. If the railroad holds out against the new city line and says it will; ask damages, as well as refuse to remove the Naugatuck wharf, it is be- lieved the Mayor will use the attitude of the company as ground upon which to veto the measure.

STILL A FRoNT-PAqER

Notwithstanding the fact that the
leading newspapers of the country
seemed to have desire to take Roose-
welt off the front page and give the
space to others, they have found it
impossible to carry out their inten
tions. With Roosevelt in far. away Az
rca, paying no attention to the public
questions now before the people; with
no announced intentions of ever striv-
ing for political office, he is still
the leading man in the eyes of the
people who read the daily and weekly
papers.
In Roosevelt, those who strive for
front page stories have foe as great
out of the White House rs in it. He
mails in the African wilds. His work
is but an example Of what others Of
less prominence have done in years
past, yet his feats with the gun arc
her~'ded around the world, and read
by . most everyone.
He was strenuous in the White
IIou-c, and seems to be just ~ deter
mined and active in the jungles of
Africa, where the roaring OF the for-
est beasts must remind him Of the
roars of the men he tried to force to
obey the United States lave. At any
rate, Mr.. Roosevelt is a man who will
command the respect Of all nations,
whether he be the President Of tho
United States, or common hunter
and jungle wanderer.

HIGH COURT DECISION

The decision of the Supreme court
in the famous Canon City Elks' club
ease will 90 far toward clearing up
mooted questions in regard to the sale
or disposal of in.oxicants in "dry'
territory. The court rules that 'elubs'
could not sell to regular members or
others, liquor in "dry" towns, with
out violating the law, and that in the
"wet'' towns the club bars would
have to secure not only the usual gov
ernment license, but also county and
city license. The effect of the deci-
sion is to place the "club' bars on
the same basis as the bar in any sa
loon. Without doubt it is the most
damaging blow ever delivered to the
liquor industry in the state of Colo
ado, and will mean the quick aband-
onment of dozens of bars in many of
# any of the usual club bars can af-
ford to operate in "we." territory BY
paying the city license, and will, OF
course, go out of business in "dry'
cities.
The decision is in line with right and
Justice. There is no reason on earth
why the wealthy citizen should be al
lowed, if he chooses, ito go to the cleo
ton booth and vu.c to compel the
commercial saloon to 60 out of bust
ness and then retire to the luxury of
his club bar for his own toidy. There
is much truth in the statement that
the saloon is the poor man S club, and
if the people decide that the saloon
is an intolerable evil, there is no just
ice in allowing the poor man IS socially
elect brother the comfort of his club >
liquor supply and deprive the poor
man of the same right.
Not only will the Elks' clubs be hit
but 80 will the exclusive FL Paso club,
of Colorado Springs, the Arkansas Val
| ley club of Pueblo and the Denver club
of Denver. The Ell Paso club will have
to give up is bar entirely, as Colorado
Springs is "dry" territory, and the
Arkansas Valley and Denver clubs
will have to pay the regular city Ii
cense fee. The decision win go far
towards clearing up some of tho
cloudy points in the local option law.
1t is decision that looks toward prog
ress and social betterment. 1t is a
decision that reflects credit upon the
| high court that handed it down and
one that will do much toward crippling
| the booze trust in Colorado. Ora nd

SLEEP IN CHURCH IF YOU PLEASE

It's not only good form to be found
taking a snooze in church on ouhuaF
morning but it is one of the greates'
r,oofs tha. the sleeper has been paying
4hc very strictest attention to the ois'
course and to the music of the choir'
Al Least. this is the opinion OF an east
ern writer, who has been given great
space in eastern publications during 'he
past few weeks.
The eastern man has been searching
for some plausible excuse for those WHO
attend the Sunday morning service aui
dron off to dreamland before the ell
max in the sermon has been reacheu'
Ue claims to have made good and gives
as his reasons for the sleep that the'
man or woman, as the case may pc
had hypnotised him or herself. ho
holds that the person who pays tht
closest attention to the sermon ana
kceps the eve steadily on the speaker
;s the one to first fall asleep. Ihe
constant keeping of the eye on ohe
nreacher does not permit OF the chang
ing of the thoughts of the watcher an"
nc result they are soon hypnotislng
themselves.
The eastern writer does not give any
credit to the preacher for holding 'he
,,,l,r,tcu attention of his conSrega
tion or of any member of 1t, nor DOC
he grant that an uninterestihS seri'ion
rosutss in some of the congregation go
mo to sleep. He says, however, tha'
the eve should not follow the preaeher
at ALL times. but should be shifted 10
.ho flowers on the tables and IN the
,,;naov-s and TO the choir. 1t IS al
well and good to take peep at the
choir if that body is composed oil pre-
o;dls. The flower stunt would be ai
r;rbt for those who love poies, nut
when YOU remember that the pretey
o;ls in the choir have their hats la'eh
with flowers, there must be something
else at which to look. The contrlp"'
t;on box is all that is left, and who
wants to be eyeing thal eNeiJ
momen.s? 1t is true, the contribution
box will cause wakcfulness, but the
shifting of the eye to it should not DC
credited with the result We imagine
the scratching around in the pocket IN
search of nickle to drop in Will drive
away sleep faster than Will the box
itself.
However, we are not taking issue
with the learned eastern writer, VINO
has so graciously come to the rescue OF
those who take a nap during ehurch
services. on the other hand we think
those he has favored should contribute
A tily sum and erect II marble statue
to the memory of his fight in their be
half.
Thus, Glenwood people VINO IAN

THE SCHOOL ELECTION

Tame indeed was the recent school
election in this city. Yet when we re
member that the future lawmakers of
the country are today in the schools
and that on their shoulders will sooner
or later fall the responsibility of man.
aging the affairs of the greatest ma
tion the world has ever known, we
must confess that the leading institu.
tion of today receives the leas. atten
tion from the people.
Such should not be the case. 1t may
be but one candidate for place on
the school board is placed before the
people, for their endorsement. 1t may
be that man, or woman, may be fitted
for every phase of the school problem
The candidate may be the best quail
fled person in the community. Grant
that such Is the case, and it should al
ways be so, it is the duty of the peo
pie to indorse the candidate at the
polls just as much as it is to censure
the man that fails to do his best 20
build up the educational institution
with which he has connected himself
Twenty-eight votes wcre case in the
recent Glenwood ELECTION. The mae
tivity of the many who did not voto Mt
all cannot be construed as being as
firm an endorsement as WAS the action
of the few who did 60 to the polling
place and cast ballot. 1t is true,
people may have been perfectly salts
fled with the one candidate, but even
he would have been given greater
encouragement in taking up the work
had he received the endorsement Of
every legal voter in town. He de-
served either the endorsement or re-
buke of every voter in Glenwood. We
feel the people are satisfied with Mr.
King, but he should not feel satisfied
with the people. Nor should the
school board be satisfied and neither
should the people be pleased with their
own inactivity, and disinterestedness
in the matter.
II Glenwood schoole are to continue
to strive for the top Of the ladder,
they must have the hearty support Of
everyone. The board Of education AMI
the teachers cannot do It all. There
