The Democratic party is needed. No party can serve Connecticut effec- equivalent of an election. The well fare of the State is assured only when the party in power knows it may lose it's influence through intelligent crit icism and opposition. Connecticut has needed that kind of criticism for many years and the Democratic party is fin 8 position to offer it.

RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
Various Explanations of the Origin 0f
 This Expression,

Various Explanations of the Origin 0f
 This Expression.
 Many explanations have been given of the origin of the expression raining cats and dogs" One is that it is per- version of the French 'catadoupe," a waterfaIl-''it is raining a catadoupes,'' g or cataracts. Another explanation is that the male blossoms of the willow tree, which are used on Palm Sunday to represent the branches of palm, were called ''cats and dogs" in some parts of England, where they increase rapidly after a few warm April show CTS, and the belief prevailed that the rain brought them.
 Others trace the saying to northern mythology, in which the cat is said to have great influence on the weather, and sailors still have a saying, ''The cat has a gale of wind in her tai1," when she is unusually frisky. Witches that rode upon the storms were said to assume the form Of cats, and the stormy northwest wind is called "the cats nose" in the Harz mountains even at the present day. Then the dog is a symbol of wind. which in old Ger man pictures is figured as the head of a dog or wolf from which blasts issue. The cat therefore symbolizes a down pour of rain; the dog, strong gusts of wind, which accompany 1t, and so rain ''of cats and dogs" is heavy rain with wind.

A MGERIAN LEGEND.

It Tells of the Origin of Man's Sub
 lection to Women.
 There is a quaint old Algerian legend that relates the origin of mans sub jection to women.
 At the beginning of things, the le- gend runs, the world was peopled by women only. One day the earth god Awbassi Mai, happened by accident to kill a woman. On hearing this the rest gathered together and prayed that, if he meant to slay them. he would bring destructien Oh all together rather than Kill them one by one.
 Awbassi was sorfy for the grief he had caused and. offered as c0mpensa- ton to give. tham antthipg thaE should choose out 6HSaflt this .possessfeps. They begged hsnDt9 men tf6n what kef had to give and said sAbat tiaey would all cry 'tYes's whe1 hes n1thed the thing they

 Thus men became the servants Of women and have to work for them lo this day.

The Flax Plant.

Linen is obtained from the flax plant, a small, delicate annual with a tiny blue flower. The plant Is pulled by hand in the summer, the seeds, known in commerce as hnseed, being removed and the straw subjected to various processes to separate the 6bTous part which constitutes the linen.

Progressives Not Republicans.
 Those who approve. of the senti- kraents of such genuine Progress1ves
 Tes9 if they of ehpeet tat @ the ERepubIlcan party proper has any in etention of carrying out such 19sas
 This i a3fs 3st plan an bJ tne the RRepu6 sMan cdTgressfona1s cornnittee. The kcampaign. book enphatica1ly does not kreccgnize tnsurgent republicans as trepubIicans, and thereby tacitly kserves H notice to the public that if k4he nextMHouse is Republican the Rrogressives Ito be carried out. The ERepublican text book, however, of khciaIly indorses sentiment of the Ald- frich- -Cannon-G -Guggenheim type of Re- kpub1icans as being4 Simon-pure Re- Ipublicanism. As sthe Democratic
 carnpaign < book < accepts the senti- kgressive8 Republieans $as being truly kD@mo Cratic. it would seem that the ksurestSvvayst to secure progressIye leg Eslation would be by voting the Demo- cratic ticket.
 RepubIicanism Is Cannonlsm. l In spite of anything, the Progress lsiveS4 can do or say, Cannon1srn ana aRepublicanism are SYNONYMOUS. Tn Q kthis beyond succ essfu1 contradiction lPage xS49OA of the Congressional Rec lord shows fthat on n, March l9 a reso- seating Cannon as speaker Or the entire Republican 7 membership only Ethe following nine voted to unseat Cary, Nelson and Lenroot of Wiscon- sin; Lindburgh and Davis of Mime sota; Poindexter of Wash1ngton 7g;t a ana Id 1 indisputables that Cannonism doml- mates all but aone Itwenty-fourth of the Republican party. This IS the the total Republican membership of the House. by g, the number of Repub- licans who voted to unseat Cannon Cannonism Bound to Rule.
 Even if every one of the genuine progressive Republican congressional ecandfdates is elected, Cannon1sm will reign in the House of Representatives
 if that body has a Republican ma caucus, ''Unole Joe,' or some one Inoninated for the speakership. The lonIy sure way to kill Cannonfsm is to Fdeprive the Republican membership
 of Congress of the balance of power, dent with a Democrat Where and When?
 .'The Republican party declares 1 the Republican text book, stands for equal the difference between the. cost / of production at home and abroad,
 together with a reasonable profit for
 Am erican industries'.'
 It is true the Republicans promised 1 such a revision in the 1908 platform. 1 but it is. safe to predict no Republl-
 can candidate for office will declare that the tariff was ever revised on that basis. All genuine progressive Republicans are on record as stating l that the promise was ignored as completely as if it had never been made. Revision of the tariff of the basis indicated would have been 8 big downward revision, while the Repub- 1icans revised it upward by 1.71po.
 Two Safe Bets,
 1 A $5,000,000 ship subsidy grab and i a central government bank are two good bets in the event of the next
 House of Representatives retaining its present Republican majority. If
 the House is Democratic it is an
 equally good bet that special privi . lege will be disappointed on both ] nropositious.
