NO TROLLEY FOR CANAAN

In talk before the Boot and Shoe club of Boston last week, President Mellen of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad expressed his mind pretty freely on the matter of pending and proposed legislation in Massachu- setts affecting the company he repre- sents. He suggested to that state if she would be content to execute her own laws within her own territory, she would have enough on her hands to occupy her time fully, and that she should not at tempt to control the actions of the New Haven road in other states. The part of MT. Mellen's talk that particularly in terests the people of this section is what he had to say about the attitude of his road toward electric railways. Unless Massachusetts changes her plans regard ing legislation affecting this form of railway traffic, Canaan people are not likely to take the trolley to Pittsfeld and way stations for some time yet.
 This is what MT, Mellen had to say as to the plans of his company:
 "The policy of the New Haven Rail road with reference 70 electric street railways will be to let them severely alone within the commonwealth of Massachu- setts, and so to handle them in other jurisdictions that perhaps the object lesson elsewhere will work a change in the sentiment and policy of the common wealth, I trust. and it is not beyond the limits of pro liability that Massachusetts may yet learn something from what is transpiring elsewhere"

Deer in the River

Two dogs were chasing deer on Toms hill yesterday morning and finally ran it into the Housatonic river just below the power house. No trace of it has been found since, and, although not seen to go under the ice, it is thought that it did, because the water is so swift at that place it would be impossible for it to cross.

WOODRUFF LIEUTENAN
TAKES TEDDY,S SIDE.

New York, Sept. 16.-The first break
in the ranks of the old guard" in
Kings county, where Timothy L. Wood
ruff, chairman of the Republican state
committee, has for years been acknowI-
edged leader, came with the announce
ment by Reuben L. Gaskell. Republi-
can leader of the 23rd district, that
he will support progressives under Col
Roosevelt's leadership.
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
New York Republican county commit
tee, went on record in favor of an alb
solute endorsement of president Taft's
administration by the Republican state
convention. This Was his answer as a
progressive leader to suggestions that
the Roosevelt supporters would be op-
posed to putting a real endorsement
OF the Taft administration in the plat
form.

SHAFROTH DICTATES THE
COLORADO DEMOCRATIC slate.

Denver Col, Sept. 16.-Adherents Of
governor John r. Shafroth, who Sc
cured his denomination in the Demo-
cratic state convention here by the
scanty official plurality of q votes
finished their work by bringing about
the nomination of practically the en-
tire Shafroth slate, and the adoption
of platform endorsing his administra-
ton.
The big Denver delegation, with 2S4
votes out Of 100, was unable to stem
the Shafroth tide except late last night
when the delegates assisted in selecting
Alex. Davidson, of Salida county, as
candidate for state railway commission
er. Every other candidate supported
by the Denver men was defeated.
Opposition among the women of Dem
YER county to the, denomination of Mrs.
Katherine NJ. Cook as state superin-
tendent of public instruction also went
amiss, Mrs. Cooks opponents receiving
a negligible total vote.
Other nominations were: For lieuten-
ant governor, Stephen R. FITZGERALD
renominated; for treasurer Rhoady
Kenehan, Denver; for auditor NJ. A.
Leddy, FL Paso county; for railroad
commissioner, Alex. Davidson, Salida;
for superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Mrs. Katherine NJ. Cook, renomi-
mated.

ROOSEVELT NOT IN
FAVOR OF MOB RULE.
Says He Merely Wants to See Sane
Government and square Deal"
for the Little Man and the
Big Corporation.

Oyster Bay, \. Y, Sept. 16.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt declares that he is not
talking revolution in declaring his new
political creed. Neither is he making
/, an appeal to mob rule.
In a staunch defense of his doc
trine of the New Nationa1ism," he de-
clared that he was merely urging the
application of old moralities TO modern
conditions. At the same time ne replied
with spirit to those who have been op-
posing him and hotly denounced news
papers which, he said, attacked honest
public men.
Col Roosevelts address was deIiv-
cred. at the Suffolk county fair at
Riverhead. Long Island.
Il wish to see greater governmental
efficiency because we have TO deal with
a greater business efficiency he said.
Simple laws are all that are necessary
in small communities when there is
no big business and each man works
for himself When you get masses of
wealth together and great corporations
developing, conditions then become so
changed that there must be an increase
in governmental activity to control the
wealth for business. efficiency

great corporations, but I don't intend
to rely only on the big corporations

want to see such control of the wealth
now gathered for business uses as to
favor the honest man who uses the
wealth genuinely for the service of the
public and to make every man feel
that he has TO do what is right: and If
he does not feel it, we shall see to il
that he does.
That is my whole creed. That is
all there is in it. There is no revoIu-
ton in it. There is no appeal to mob
rule.
''On the contrary. I recognize mob
violence as an enemy of the public lust
as much as lawless wealth 1 am
against the poor man who is guilty OF
the crime of lawless violence, and, when
IT is in my power, I shall try to pun
ish him for his misdeeds, just as much.

There are two prime difficulties in
