The Reason Why.

The state federation CT labor in
Missouri has resolved to work against
the prohibition amendment, fer the
reason that it's adoption would throw
hundreds of brewery workers cut Of
employment. That result would GER
tainly follow. but it would be merely
incidental. The federatI onfs objection
does not go to the merits Of the ques-
ton. If the manufacture and sale IF
liquor is an evil that should be abel
ished, the throwing Of men cut of en-
p,cy nlent by its suprrras:pr is not a
sufficient reason for perpetuating it.
As tc whether or not il is such an etil
opinions differ.
What Connecticut Soil Can Do.
There is no higher authority in ag-
ricultural matters in this country than
Prof e. p. Powell 1t will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Dennis of Norfolk,
having heard him elsewhere, brought
him last spring to Norfolk in this
state, where he gave the farmers four
practical talks on their business At
that time this same lady offered prizes
for excellence in the various branches
of farm work, and announced that
there would be an exhibit on Septem-
Der "a, at which Professor Powell
would be present and award prizes
and give advice. Professor Powell was
there all right on Saturday, and so
were the exhibits by hundreds. What
is of larger interest than the desirable
stimulation of agriculture in one To-
cality is the statement by this I'M
questioned authority as to the prod
ucts of Connecticut soil Professor
Powell declared, as appears elsewhere,
that he had never seen so fine corn
anywhere else as he had seen that day
grown In Norfolk. He gave almost
as high praise to the apples and other
fruits. What it all means is that
scientific and intelligent farming in
old Connecticut can produce just as
fine articles as are now raised far
away The start that has been taken
in Norfolk will unquestionab bly, be
kept up But the same start should
be made in every other agricultural
town in the whole state Talk about
agriculture in the east being play ed

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
just a Suaaestion.


Mr.. Editor: At a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the court of
common council held Monday, Sept. 10,
it was decided to send his honor the
mayor, to another state to look at
driven wells to help out our water
supply.
1t would seem to be as if the whole
bunch Executive committee and may
orr ought to go up to our water plant
and look up the wells that We're driven
by B. F. Smith & Brothers of Boston,
in January, 1900 1t would be more to
the purpose, and perhaps if they found
them they might sell them to some
one shorter of water than we are (they
cost $291.73).
Now if the bunch could pull them up
they would bring old junk by confer
ring with some of our iron merchants.
Take the money derived from such
sale, put some more with it, and drive
some more wells, and if they amount
to as much as the wells driven by B.
F. Smith & Brothers of Boston, III
1900. it will be good investment for
the city of Norwich and will put us
out of the No Water Zone; and when
the mayor goes to the United States
senate and is approached by the tenn
perance people, he can tell them what
he has done for the people of Norwich
and the cause of temperance by driv-
ing wells, and his great regard for the
common people, who he and Lincoln
loved so well, by placing them beyond
want in the water line for ever more.
Praise God, from whom all blessings
flow,'' and don't forget his honor and
the executive committee.

thing sensible be done about the water

PASSING AT THE RATE OF FOUR
TEEN A DAY.

These annual encampments of the
Grand Army of the Republic call pub
lie attention to the fact that of the
three million men who were in the
field defending the union in the six
ties. only 100000 now remain, and
these ore passing at the average rate
of fourteen day, with prospect OF
Tore rapid rate of demise.
Commander in Chief Van SAINT, adj
dressing the Grand Army, gave the
number of members at the beginning
of the present calendar year as 213.-
sol. Twelve months before the num-
Der was 220.600, while on January l,
1908, the Grand Army roll contained
225,157 names of members. 1t is
decreasing roster of a waning army.
The variation does not. however, ac-
Surately reprtsent the mortality among
the Grand Army veterans, as tnere
are some designations and occasional
tardy additions from the surviving
civil war veterans not already mem
bers of the Grand Army organization.
The actual deaths of Grand Army
men in 1909 was 1923. This is at the
average rate of a fraction over IA
day. The mortality varies. In 1907
the Grand Army deaths averaged rs a
day. 1t is a diminishing band, but
win probably be able to continue It's
ncampments, reunions and even pa
rades in some fashion for at least ten
years to come. After that the aging
Grand Army men are likely to become,
like the Mexican war veterans, loath
to leave their homes and irresp onsive
to all summons to assemble.
There are about as many veterans
outside the order as there are in it,
and if these could be induced to join,
the posts in all parts of the country
would be heavily reinforced. The
Grand Army is likely to hold its or
ganization for a decade if all eligible
veterans lend themselves to the per-
petuation of the organization.

BARREL" perhaps the greatest of the
evils in congress, and he expresses
the hope that it's days are soon to
be numbered. The contributing tax
payers can extract a modicum of COM
fort in contemp lation of the millions
spent for public buildings. In them
they see a return for their money.
There is no consolation in the study
of the sums spent for temporary i'm
provement of shifting rivers, harbors,
and creeks. That is pure waste. In
many other directions President Taft's
Music hall speech had admirable quail
tiles, but his Kidding of this enduring
extravaganza will appeal the strong
est to the average man of business.
Speaking of him as a citizen of Gin
cinnati those who dwell within the
city's borders appreciate him all the
more for his expression of f1lial de-
votion to her, for his praise for her
loved benefactors, for his testimonial
to the enterprise of the founders of
the Southern railway, and for his
cheerful and buoyant optimism for
the future not only of her, but her sis
tiers in the Ohio valley. Well done,

Deep down in my heart l felt a

yet was he proud and noble, too.

WHAT A CITY CANNOT DO.

An interesting case is that of the
city OF Kirkvisle, No. whkh had been
using the river as an open sewer fo1
many years, until a citizen took issue
with Il and carried the matter to the
courts for legal decision as to wheth-
or the city had a right to pollute pub
lie waters.
The officials of Kirksvi1le held that
as the town had used the river for
sewerage purposes for years that a
suit would not lie because the city
had thus esta blishef the right of user.
and that. anyway, suit was barred by
the statute OF limitations.
The court refused to sustain these
contentious, holding that the city could
not establish a right nv user to turn
the river into an open sewer. and that
-ha statute of limitations did not APP
Ply. for the damage done was contin-
uous so long as the sewage polluted
the stream. Furthermore, the court
held that substantial damages could
be recovered for the injury done TO
property adversely affected by the dis
charge Of sewage
This decision is in line with the de-
cision rendered in this state by Vice
Chancellor Stevens" says the Newark
News, and confirmed by the court of
errors. in the case of lower riparian
owners against the city Of Paterson
for damages resulting from the polu-
ton of the river. The case in which
the New Jersey decision was rendered
has not yet been disposed of entirely.
There will be opportunities for further
suits IL the Passaic is not purified
within a reasonable time, and the
probabilities of recovering further
substantial damages against offend
ing communities are streng thened by

thinking. He needed to fall in love;
that was obvious. Brought up to see
only the practical side of life, he was
taught that life at best was short. and
therefore to give but little time to
fancy, and less still to romantic ideas;
and thus it was that his young lie
was as yet unmarked by Cupid.
He already possessed the faculty or
making interesting reading; what ne
lacked was the incentive, and why
not-why not, indeed-let him fail IN
love with me, if such a thing were
possible? The very idea startled me
from my revery, though not unpleas-
antly, for was it not my dearest wish
that he should call me his?
When he called the next time he
was looking more hopeful; that Woe
begone expression had left his coun-
tenance; and in it's stead there was a
certain radiance which bespoke con-
fidence in his power. Conversation
soon drifted to our favor1te topic OF
story writing, and he surprised me
not a little by his earnestness ana
eloquence A great change had come
over him in the short interval which
elapsed since our last meeting, and
vaguely I tried to define it's portent

ton seemed to shine from ms great
brown eyes as they softened with the
fervor of the story he was relating;

seemed to enchant me and hold me in
a spell, as it were; a strange thrill
passed over me as our eyes met, and
his seemed to gaze down into the in
nermost recesses of my soul to read
the message there; and as If in an
swer to that yearning, moving toward
me ard clasping both my hands, he

POOR MR., MORSE.

Charles w. Morse is getting quite
an education in the penitentiary, and
he is likely to be a very much more
useful member of society when he gets
out of prison. He has been expert
principally at beating the other fellow,
not at producing anything that was a
credit to him. He was given employ
ment on a typewriter cataloguing the
prison library, and it was this task
which forced from him the confess
sion:
81 never knew before how little I
knew. how little l could do any one
thing we'll" He could scoop twenty
millions in the market and could lose
it, but when it came to performing a
creditable task he got a true view of
his own insignificance, and that will
do him good.
An exchange puts it right when it
points out that Morse stands for the
class who get rich by stock manipula-
ton. Until the law laid it's hands
upon him he was a figure in Wall
street. He had dazzled the country
by the vastness of his deals. He was
held to view as an example of the
successful American business man.
1t was not a knowledge of ice that
made him Ice king. 1t was knowing
how to juggle the stock.
He knew nothing of banking when
he was one of the most powerful of
bankers. He simply understood man
ipulating bank shares.
He was ignorant of transportation
when controlling more steamships
than any man in the country, but ar
adept at juggling steamship securities
1t was all a bluff.
Bluff works to the advantage of mer
for while. but it is a weak founda-
ton upon which to attempt to raise
the superstructure of a successful

This year is the centenary of the
Introduction of beet sugar making.
This industry was born in France,
and it was the outcome of a pressing
need. Owing to the blockade, sugar
became scarce in that country and
in 1910 the chemist Deveau laid the
result of his experiments of extract
ing sugar from beets before the acad-
envy of sciences. Scientists took up
the matter with much hesitation So
great was the success of the process,
however that within a year there
were fifty factories hard at work pro-
ducing beet sugar. Today the culti-
walton of beet is carried on extensively
in fifteen provinces and on smaller
scale in the remainder.
