Rev. Samuel H. Davis gave no.
license address in one of the sheds of
the Smith Granite works, Thursday
noon. Mr.. Davis spoke for twenty
minutes, ending when the whistle call
ed the granite workers at one o'clock.
A number of the workmen gave close
attention to the interesting talk of Mr..
Davis. This (Friday) noon he Will
speak at the New England granite
works
1t has been arranged by the West
erly Ministerial association that at the
Sunday services in the churches, spe-
cial reference be made to the import
ance of working and voting for no.

Should Westerly vote in favor of
license, or no-Iicense, next Tuesday,
il is probable that the town council
viii grant license to established drug
stores under the general state laws.
that it will not be a violation of
law for a. druggist TO furnish intoxi-
eating liquor strictly for medicinal
purposes upon a physicians prescrip-
ton.
1t is, according to a ruling of for
mer town council. a crime for a drug
sist TO have a drop of whiskey, BRAN
dy, gin or rum on the premises. 1t
is claimed, however, by local men
learned in the law, that druggists are
permitted to carry in stock for purely
medicinal purposes, quantity of In
tOXicatins liquor not in excess of. a
total of two quarts. There have been
instances when lesser quantities were
seized BY police officers, under author
ity of search warrant, but in these
cases the supreme court of the state
has given no decision. as the prose-
Cution did not prosecute to an extent
sufficient to have the cases reach the
highest tribunal in the state. SO on
this point there seems to be conflict
of town and state Interpretation of
law. 1t is said that Westerly is the
only town in the state where drug
gist's licenses are not issued by the
town council.

New Haven, Conn, October, 1910.
Dear Sir: May we ask for public
statement from you as to your attitude
toward the bill providing for the intro
duction of the merit system into the
state service? This bill was continued
by the Legislature of 1909 to the forth
coming session. and in the event of
your election Will be one of the mat
ters on which Your position will be
important to the state and to the peo
pie whom you represent.
The bill, in brief provides for the
establishment of a state civil service
commission whose duty it shall be to
ascertain by suitable tests the capacity
of all candidates for appointment to
positions in the charitable institutions
of the state to perform the duties they
seek to assume. Officials VINO are elect
ed and those who are appointed by the
governor or by the Legislature will not
be required to submit to the commits
sions tests. All such tests must be
made according to published rules,
must be practical in character and
must relate to those matters which will
fairly test the relative capacity of the
persons tested to discharge the duties
of the position to which they seak to be
appointed. The appointing officer is
required to make his selection from
among the three candidates shown by
the tests to be best fitted for each
place. Removals may be made by the
appointing officer for any form of in
efficiency or inability to properly per-
form the duties, of the position. Re
movals for political or religious belief
are forbidden. Officials appointed by
the governor or the legislature cannot
be affected by the terms of the bill,
as we have said. but the governor may
extend the system to other state de-
partments or institutions than those
specified in the bill subject to the
ga limitations The provisions of
the bill are applicable to and may be
adopted by any city by popular vote,
but are not imposed on any city ex
cept by majority vote of it's own cleo
tors.
Upon DIR assuming the responsible
ty for saying that this statement of
the bill (Which was drafted by this as
sociation) is a fair condensed state
ment of it's objects and of the powers
it grants, will you kindly send us
promptly a statement of the attitude
you will take toward it when it comes
before you in the legislature?
Very truly yours,
CHARLES G. MORRIS.

Getting Together.

The Chicago Tribune has made pol
of Democratic newspaper editors in ter
ritory extending from Massachusetts
to Oregon, from Maine to Maryland
from Ohio to Tennessee, from Mime
sofa to Oklahoma, embracing 81 States,
as to the political sentiment pervading.
The Tribune got 1,414 responses Of
which but 81 were scattering" None
was non-committal, for that has never
yet been Democratic vice, however,
numerous the old party's other failings.
1t appears that the ssPeerless One and
the Matchless" is yet the Democratic
favorite son, according to the Tribune
report. He heads the poll with 4ls;
Harmon is a close second with 414.
Theodore Roosevelt is third with 159.
Then come Folk, SO; Marshall 81; Clark,
"A; Gaynor, 80; La Toilette, 81: Taft, "a;
Hughes, Is.
Thus 1t appears that 21S Democratic
newspapers, of 81 States, widely scat
tered between the two oceans, would
draft candidate from the Republican
ranks, and "a of them stand pat on the
present order of things, and would
make the reelection of William III.
Taft unanimous and by acclaim.
But Roosevelt seems to be the favor
tie of the insurgent Democrats. He
has 159 Democratic editors demanding
that he shall be the Democratic nomi-
nee in 1912 for the place of Jefferson
and Jackson.
If all the detective forces of all the
world were to set about to find even the
most diminutive atom of Democracy
as we understand it in political party
sense in this country-among the poll
tical goods and cattels of Theodore
Roosevelt the return Oh the s'fi fa'
would be ''nulla bona"
And yet 159 Democratic editors would
make Col. Roosevelt leader of the DEM
,cratic party!-Washington Post.
