LOOK OUT FOR THE ENGINE

Editor News The practice of the freight trains switching at this place and monopolizing the Main street crossing for from ten to fifteen minutes. and sometimes longer at time, is nuisance which, it seems to me, ought not to be tolerated, I have been compelled to keep my team standing on one side of the tracks and wait for-the gate tender to raise the gates, until my horses became restive and almost unmanageable, while the cars were being shunted back and forth over the crossing. Foot passengers are delayed for the same cause.
 Has the railroad the right to obstruct the highway for an unreasonable time /? and is there no way to have this annoy ance remedied?
 Canaan, Nov. D.. Subscriber.
 Sure several One way is to scold about 1t in the papers; another, 70 tear up the tracks; but probably the most effective course would be to write a real nice letter to the division superintendent. telling him all about it. If that doesn't do the trick, get the papers to roast the Company. But whichever course is pursued, Hook out for the engine when the bell rings"

NOW THAT ITS OVER

Now that it is all oyer, the country saved again, and sovereign, patriotic people have once more exercised their divine right to vote according to the dictates of conscience and so forth, the patriots may take time to cool off, think it over and wonder why they got so excited It is striking commentary on human nature that experience fails to teach the lesson that political campaigns are more or less a joke on the patriotic voter, and year after year he bites on the same old joke.
 This has reference to the political follower-not the political leader. The leader is the joker; the other fellow stands for the laugh. The leader has an axe to grind; the other fellow turns the grindstone. He permits himself to be persuaded that unless his party wins and it doesn't matter cent which party it is-soms awful, indefnable calamity will overwhelm the state or the nation; and he goes into the campaign as if it were his own personal affair. He argues with his neighbor; he makes enemies of his friends; he fights with those he can not convince; he gets hot under the collar and red in the face; he stamps on his hat; he calls names and works himself into state of mind, trying to make himself think that he believes what he tries to make others believe. ..
 Then the election comes on. If his party is successful he shouts, "hurrah!' and goes back to business; if not, he says "Well I'll be jiggeredp' and goes back to work, just the same. In either event it's all over, so far as he is concerned and in week he can't tell the name of the lieutenant t-governor-elect. The earth resumes its customary practice of revolving on it's axletree, as your old friend Artemus Ward said, once in twenty four hours, subject to the law of gravitation and the constitution of the United States; and barring the fact that there's new crowd of office holders in the Statehouse, drawing pay from the public treasury, everything moves along precisely as usual, just as the patriotic voter knew it would, notwithstanding his campaign frenzy. He doesn't look for revision downward of the beef steak schedule under Baldwin, nor would he have expected a revision upward of the wage scale if Goodwin had won.
 Personal, individual interest in public affairs is commendable, without doubt even when the real issue involved is to capture all the offices for one par. hcular set of gentlemen. and keep them out of the clutches of the other set o1 gentlemen. But whether that issue is oi sufficiently vital importance to justify all the slashing and hair-pulling that enliven the average political campaign may be considered adebatable question.

THE COUNT IS DOUBTED

Editor News: While the ratio of growth in the last ten years, shownl in the census returns for North Canaan as printed i'll your paper last week, is grati- flying to every citizen, it has occurred to some that even this increase is under stated, and it is believed that the enum- eration for the personal tax, now being made, will show where the census count was too low.
 The writer has no. criticism to make of the efforts of the local enumerator. His task was difficult one-more difficult without doubt than the people gener- ally appreciate, especially among the Ital- ian element, where it would be surpris- ing if he had secured an accurate count. There are more Italians in North Canaan than most people realize, and they are constantly coming. Furthermore, it is difficult to secure definite and accurate information from them, by reason of their ability to speak our language or thoroughly understand the purpose of such close and pointed inquiry as the census bureau requires.
 Frankly, the writer believes the census figures should give us a population of at least 2,25O instead of 2,171.

ANINEFFIcIENT GAME LAW

Plainly the game law, as it applies to deer in this state, is in need of new set of teeth. It is defective in various important particulars which will proba- bly, receive attention from the incoming legislature. The necessity for some re- vision is shown in the case of the War ren farmer whose horse was fatally gored by savage buck, and in the numerous cases of deer run down and killed by dogs. ...-
 For such cases as the former the law provides no reimbursement, and for the latter no penalty. If deer nibbles fruit from farmers apple-tre the farmer may recover from the state. If the deer kills his $200 horse he may whistle for his pay If he shoots the deer he is ia- ble to fine of $10O. If his dog kills the deer the state has no redress.
 It's game-legged game law as it stands, so far as the protection of deer is concerned, and the tests referred to prove it not only inequltable but incon- gruous, and almost constrain the inno- cent bystander to exclaim in the words of the immortal Dickens, "The law is 8 ass p .... ......

disappointed in it's census takers miserable failure to make its population reach the 100000 mark, and from all accounts its criticism of the local enumerators was more or less deserved, as it appears from plenty of volunteered evidence that in the capital city whole streets were skipped by the counters.
 But even if there is ground for the opinion that North Canaan has 8 hundred more immortal souls than the enumerator found, there is still reason for elf-congratulation in the showing of 8 20 per cent. increase ill the last ten years. According to the figures printed only three towns in the county showed larger percentage of growth-Torring- ton, Plymouth and Watertown, all large manufacturing towns.
 North Canaan is easily at the head Of it's class in the county, in the matter of growth, and this distinction is due to the progressive spirit and up-to- dateness of it's cit1zens, which has kept the community forging ahead while other and larger towns have either barely held their own or progressed backward.
 In another column will be found a comparative table showing the popula- ton of the various towns in the county in 1890, 1900 and 1910, which reveals some interesting figures in reduction ascending and reduction descending, and in which North Canaan shows up to good advantage,'

 Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated on Thursday, November 24.

These blessings have not descended upon us in restricted measure, but overflow and abound. They are the blessings and bounty of God.
 We continue to be at peace with the rest of the world. In all essential mat ters our relations with other people are harmonious, with an ever growing real ity of friendliness and depth of recogni- tion of mutual dependence. It is especi- ally to be noted that during the past year great progress has been achieved in the case of arbitration and the peace full settlement of international disputes. Now therefore I, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the wise custom of the civil magistrates since the first settlement in this land and with the rule established from the foundation of this Government, do appoint Thurs day, November 24, 1910, as day of ma. tional thanksgiving and prayer, enjoin- ing the people upon that day to meet in their churches for the praise of the Almighty God and to return heartfelt thanks to Him for all His goodness and loving kindness.
