EDITOR ROOSEVELT

It is reported that W. J. Arken, for nerly publisher of Judge, cabled to Theo- dore Roosevelt to the extent of $9O0 to know if, in case MT. Arkell could get control of the New York Sun, MT. Roose- welt would become it's editor. The ex- President consented, and Mir. Arkell i'm mediately made an offer to the Laffans, who own 8 controlling interest in the paper, of S2 ,000,O 900 for the property.
 Here the stories differ One version is that the Laffans informed MT. Arkell that they had refused an offer of $3, ,5OO,- 900; the other is that they practically accepted the offer until MT. Arkell be- gan to unfold his plan regarding the distinguished editor. Then It was all off
 It certainly would have been irony to see Theodore Roosevelt in the sanctum of The Sun, writing editorials for the paper that has "cussed" him from Jeru- salem to Jericho for 10, these many moons. What a time he would have had, resurrecting some of those vitriolic editorials, and putting little of his own vigorous personality into articles prov ing them all false. "Tartarin of Taras- con" as The Sun lovingly calls him, would have made few sharp jabs him self. but not at the same mark.
 However, when he gets home, we will undoubtedly hear from him ill his capa' city of contributing editor to The Out look He won't be quiet; he cant.
 But Arkell is out $9OO for cable tolls.

OPPORTUNITY.

They do me wrong who say come no more
 When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day stand outside your door, And bid you wake and rise to fight and win. Vail mot for precious chances passed away,
 Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night burn the records of the day, At sunrise every soul is born again Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped,
 To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with it's dead,
 But never bind moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wiring not your hands and weep, I lend my arm to all who say: "I can. " No shamefaoed outoast ever sank so deep But he might rise and be again a man.

RockEFELLER'S OFFER

The proposition made by John D. Rockefeller for the incorporation of a foundation for the benefit in general of all mankind, the fund for the same to be furnished by himself, has met with all kinds of reception, from those who would have nothing to do with so called tainted money" to those who pat him on the back for his munificent offer and slap him ill the face for the means he has used to. make the money to do it with.
 But what could he do with his money if he did not give it away? It accumu- lates so rapidly that if he did not dispose of it in punches of a million or so at a lick it would be only a comparatively few years before he would Financially speaking) own us all, body, boots and brooches.
 In 1908, MT. Archbold (who was 8 leader in Standard Oil and ought to know) made the statement that MT. Rockefeller's monochrome, mind you, not pr1ncipal-was $1,000 an hour, or nearly $2 a second. Take out your watch, see how fast the seconds go, and consider that at that time Git is probably growing faster now) the income from MT. Rockefeller's possessions gave him $2 for every second, day and night, asleep or awake. The impression on one Is about as stupendous as the thought of space or infinity.
 If he and Andy hung onto all that came to them, they would soon have to divide the universe between them, or fight it out to see who should own the whole of it.

Are all farmers pessimists? We hardly ever remember talking to one, but sooner or later he would begin to get blue and tell of the troubles he had Ill making a living. The weather is too wet or too dry, or some crop or another is failure. Farmers are, undoubtedly, at the mercy of elements they cannot control, and that is probably the reason why they take it out in complaining. If a man has a chance to fight on anything like even terms, he will usually fight, and if he gets beaten will take defeat cheer fully. But consideration of this pe- culiarity gives rise to another thought. If the farmer did not make his life out to be such hard one would not his boys be more likely to stay on the farm and make it easier for him? Think it over

 Sheffield Not Satisfied.
 According to dispatch from Boston to the Pittsfield Journal, the judiciary committee of the Massachusetts legis- lature has taken up the case of those residents of Sheffield who are dissatisfied with the recent decision of the attorney general regarding the flooding of their lands by the dam of the Berkshire Power Company. The parties interested have secured the services of ex-Senator Herbert 0. Joyner of Great Harrington and Representative Curtiss of Sheffield. They claim that the setback of water caused by this dam causes the submerR- ence of 1000 to 1900 acres of good land in the Housatonic Valley and feel that it is up to the attorney general to pre- sent such case as can be taken to the United States Court by the common wealth. They also claim there is nuisance created in Massachusetts by deeds done in Connecticut and that they ought to be able to get relief under the law, just the same as if the two were both i'll that state. The result of the action of the Massachusetts legisla- ture in this matter will be watched with interest by Canaan people.

MONEY FOR

tons Of Sympathy beach Folk
Will Raise Money

Over at Fessenden the people
became so worked up over the
battle with John Dietz that a
monster mass meeting was held
and a telegram of sympathy,
bearing the signatures Of more
than a hundred citizens, was sent
to him. although it is a safe bet
that he never received it. SYM
patty is all right, but when it is
expressed in dollars it has much
better effect. Beach people pro-
pose to give a benefit in about a
couple of weeks to raise money
for the defense Of Dietz and his
accused family. A good program
will be arranged, consisting Of
speaking, singing. sparring.
wrestling, etc.. the time and
place to be announced later.
The Dietz family has many SYM
pathizers in this city and vicini-
ty. particularly among Wisconsin
people, several of whom are &C.
quainted with John Dietz, and it
is expected that the benefit enter
tainment will be attended by a
large crowd.
Following is the Fessenden
resolution:
THE undersigned citizens, as

our moral aid and encouragement
in your defense of home and
family and just resentment for
the infamous and outrageous
treatment to which you have
been subjected by the perfdious
and cowardly minions of the law
as eXemplitied by Madden and his
men. We find no parallel in the
annals Of humanity since Voltaire
uttered his cry of horror as re-
suit Of the persecution and pun

unlawful persecution the greatest
