NO SETTLEMENT WAS EVER MADE
Southern Road Also Said To Have
100000 Coming For Transporta-
ton and other Roads
Smaller Bills.

Philadelphia, Sept 27.-John H.
Devine, head of a large commercial
printing house in this city, has sent
the following letter to the president Of
the Pennsylvania railroad company:
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. %, 1910.
Mr. James McCrea, President Penn
sylvania Railway Company, Philadel-
phia, Pa.
Dear Sir: AS stakeholder of the
Pennsylvania railroad l have been
greatly surprised to learn there Is an
account, long overdue, for transporta-
ton furnished by it to Theodore Roose-
welt. 1t is a matter of quite general
knowledge, so I learn, that this &C.
count amounts to more tnan 100000.
Whether the person owing such &C
count be president or former presi-
dent, or whoever he may be, the in
terests Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
it seems to me, demand that there be
a settlement.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. DEVINE.
Theodore Roosevelts extraordinary
travelling at the expense of the stock
holders of the railroads during the
first four years of his presidency re-
suited in congress appropriating $685.
900 a year to meet the cost of neces-
sary presidential travel in the future.
The Pennsylvania furnished Roose-
welt with over 100000 in free trans
portation and in inner railroad circles
it has been common knowledge for sew
eral years that this remains unpaid.
Publicly the Pennsylvania officials
will not admit that Roosevelt owes the
corporation anything. They say the
transportation was furnished without
any expectation of payment; that there
is no account against Roosevelt and
that the items" were charged up to
advertising"
1t was the custom to carry the presi-
dent of the United States as a free
and honored guest. The railroad could
not very well discriminate between a
bear hunt and a trip of the president
to dedicate monument, so no request
for transportation was refused. Roose-
welt rode up and down the lines at his
pleasure.
How the cost of transportation Of
foreign lines was apportioned has
never been made public. In railroad
circles it is said that the Southern
railway, over which Roosevelt trav-
eled south from Washington on many
occasions, has a charge of 100000.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad and the Northern
and Union Picifics also were gener-
ously patronized.

FAVORS NEW ZEALAND PLAN TO BEAT THE
 BIG BEEF TRUST
(New Milford Gazette.)


 Lynn w. Wilson. Democratic can didate for Congress. was a visitor in New Milford Monday night and Tues day. Monday evening he addressed a meeting of citizens in the basement of the Town Hall. MT. Wilson said be reduced until the people control their own government through direct primaries, direct election of United States Senators and the initiative, referendum and recall. He favored publication of campaign expenses be- fore as well as after election. and State and Federal corrupt practice act for office may spend. He favored re- auctions in the tariff on necessities, and declared that all articles in com petition with trust controlled articles should be placed on the free list. To break the price of coal he advocated the government mining coal from it's own lands in a sufficient quantity to also advocates commission to con- slider a plan for cooperation with the farmers through the government for establishment of packing houses, grain elevators and cold storage plants after the plan used in New Zealand. Mir. Wilson is convinced that the New Zealand method adopted in this coun- try would destroy the beef trust and benefit the farmer and the public. Mir Wilson is a newspaper man, and has been editor of some of the lead ing newspapers in New England. His home is in Bridgeport. He is well known throughout Fairfield county, county. He was candidate for Con- gress in this district two years ago, and always in politics has run fully up with his ticket.

WHY SOME DEMOCRATS

The Hartford Courant asserts the existence of a 'conmon opinion that many more Democrats will vote for Goodwin than Republicans will vote for Baldwin Upon what basis of fact such common opinion is found ed, does not appear. It may be pre- valent in Hartford; certainly it is not here. Wherever it is found, the wish is the probable father of the thought
 If any Demo ocrats are to vote for Goodwin, it is easy to divine their reasons. They are public service men owners, stockholders, officers or employees of public service corpora tions-and are well aware upon which side their bread is buttered. They know that from the Republican party alone can these corporations expect jug-handled action, and that from the Democratic party alone can even and exact justice between people and corporations be obtained. They draw from the support and affiliations of the Republican nominee for Cover nor the reasonable conclusion that with him, if elected and supported by a Republican Legislature, the cor porate cause will be safe" And they find, in the. records of Republi- can Governors and Legislatures, abundant confirmation of their belief that under Republican rule, the pub- lie service corporations will be fos- tered as in the past Such are the reasons which will give some Demo- cratic votes to Goodwin, though not a great number.
 These identical reasons will give thousands of Republican votes to Judge Baldwin. Honest Republicans know that as Governor, Baldwin would deal with the public utilities question with absolute irnpartiality, would make appointments to pulp lie utilities commission with even handed justice, and would execute the law as judicial1y as if upon the bench.
 In the Farmers judgment, very many more Republicans will vote for Baldwin than Democrats will vote for Goodwin, and for very different req sons.

BIRD MAN MAKES LONGEST FLIGHT
 ACROSS COUNTRY
Especial from United Press.)

- IT OIII Q LI1CC0
 Brussels, Oct. 28-The longest, con- tfnuous, cross country aeroplane flight, with passenger was accom- pIshed, today, by Mathieu, a French aviator, who. in a biplane, flew from Paris to Brussels, 195 miles, in three hours and thirty minutes. Matthew left Paris at 12:30 this afternoon and arrived at Brussels at o'clock.
 He expected to start on the return trip late today. Mathieu is contesting for the $20 600 prize offered by the city of Paris to the one making the fastest flight, with a passenger, from Paris to Brussels and return.
 Wynmalen, the Dutch aviator, re- gently made the round trip flight with a passenger, but he stopped several times enroute.

HOW THE WAX WAS PREPAREE

In his recent speech at Winsted, Judge Baldwin said:
 I regard the strengthening of the corrupt practices act as one of the most important tasks to which the next General Assembly should ad- dress itself. But the act ought above all to provide that every candi- date for office must make a sworn return soon after the election of all that he has spent or promised, and where it went. There is prOyis- ion in the act as it now stands re- quiring any candidate to make any return whatever to any office or of f1cer. If he appoints 8 political agent, the agent must make such a return If he does not appoint one he may send as much as he pleases and for whatever purpose he pleases, proper or improper, and keep silent about it He may spend $20,000 for his nomination and $4O,0o0 for his cleo ton and make no return. The old original law required such a return agers evidently did not like it, for they have quietly cut it out. 1t leaves, to my mind, large hole un- stopped.
 This is another item of the emascu- 1ation of the corrupt practices act by the last Republican Legislature; oth- CT items may be discovered. The clearly evident intent was to prepare the way for a safe wholesale corrup- ton of voters this year-the purchase of every corruptible voter in the state. With the public utilities bill rejected, and the question certain to come up again this year. the way was prepared for the obtainment of heavy contributions from the public service corporations That is, the parts of the campaign of 1910, deem ed most important by the Republican managers, were arranged for by the Legislature of 1909.
 The game began in the nomfnat- | ing caucus and conventions and was
 marked by charges of bribery and corruption; it is to culminate on
 Nov Sth in the worst saturnalia of
 corruption ever known in Connecti- i cut.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 MUST FACE SUIT
 BROUGHT BY STATE
Special from United Press.)

SprlngHeId, III, oct. zJ.-The Illinois Central Railroad must face suit brought by the State of Illinois through which the State seeks to re- cover $15, 000 900 in back taxes, ac- cording to decision handed down by the State Supreme Court here to-day.
 The suit was originally filed in 1907, following 8 message of Governor Deneen to the Legislature. in which he contended that the railroad had been milking the State for B years, through it's system of accounting for quired, under it's charter. to pay 2 per cent. to the State in lieu of other taxes.
 The State filed it's complaint in the La Sale County court, and the rail- road entered a demurrer which was sustained. An appeal followed and as a result of the Supreme Courts rul- ing the case is remanded to the low CT court for trial on it's merits.

Bacon 35 to 40 cents a pound,> with an abundance of hogs, and of corn with which to fatten them! The reason given is an alleged shortage in 'bacon-producing hogs; Accord ing to this, bacon is rot found in all hogs, but only in Q select number. which is brand-neW information. Next the Beef Trust which controls the hog products market, may ad- vance the prices of pork, spareribs, etc. and inform the public that there are shortages in the particular species of hogs, each of which supplies only aNparticular a part of the hog body.

RESURRECTION OF
SECTIONALTSM.


 Congressman Hill appears, in his campaign speeches, to be making a point of the numerical superiority of Southern over Norther Democratic members of the House Upon this, he apparently bases conclusion that in Democratic House, the Southern members would rule, disastrously to New England industries in tariff re- visions. We had hoped and believed that the issue of sectionalism was dead, and buried beyond resurrection, but such seems not to be the fact. MT. Hill has succeeded in resurrecting the old cry.
 It has proba bly, not escaped his at tention, though he refrains from mentioning the fact that the South is leaning strongly toward the high pro- tective policy. Southern manufacture ers-they are rapidly becoming num- erous, and their industries diversified look upon the swift manufacture of . mi1lionaires and multimillionaires by high tariff duties in the North and East, and say, in substance, ''We want a slice, it is our turn.' In q Democratic House, with tariff revis- ion pending, we might reasonably ex- pect a combina ton of Southern Dem ocrats and Eastern Republicans for the continuance of high duties, against a combination of Northern Democrats and Western Republicans for a. revision downward. All the signs so indicate.
 Congressman Hill is undoubtedly we'll aware of these conditions, and his attempted revival of the issue oG sectionalisrn in connection with the tariff, is more ingenious than hon. est. He is the very last Republican from whom we should have expected such action.
 By the way, Mir. Hill has not vel informed his constituents whether ol not he will vote, in the House, foI Cannon's reelection in the probable event of the latter's renomination by the Republican caucus. The voteJl
