Strange "Poetic License"

When the Connecticut soldiers were here last week-it seems an age since we saw them-Governor Weeks made a speech in which he declared that the two greatest American soldiers were George Washington and Robert F.. Lee
 Nirginians. That was the truth, the whole truth. and nothing but the truth. The New Haven Register applauded the governor for it, and everybody down south thanked heaven that there was one Yankee who had preserved his intellectual vision despite the clouds and darkness in which he has been enveioped from his youth up. No" comes the Waterbury American how ever, with this Querulous protest: Governor Weeks at Richmond ruth lessly eliminated Grant when he said in a speech that the two greatest American soldiers were Nirginians, Washington and Lee. So we rise to say that the old version is still in print and regarded as orthodox by many, including ourselves" We do not know what the old version" is. but we are glad to know that the American is orthodox" in one thing
 whether it's orthodoxy be heterodoxy or not. We are willing to go so far as to say that General Grant was a successful soldier, and, as nothing succeeds like success" we suppose that it is altogether natural that the Wa terbury paper should esteem him for what he accomplished rather than for what he was. Alas, alas. however. the American has forced the Register off its base and it pleads that when one Is with good fellows in Virginia some poetic license is allowed. So the gov ernor and the Times Dispatch, and even the Register, are allowed to plead under that privilege" We do not know what Governor Weeks will say about that. but we believe that he will resent it as a reflection upon both his knowledge and sincerity. The Times Dispatch certainly does not plead un- der that privilege" It believes that what Governor Weeks said was true. not because he said it in Richmond, but because he could have said 1t with equal truthfulness in New HaVen.- Richmond (Na.)

NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1910

Kennedy, undertaken. to remove it to his rooms in DanielSOn.
 The crew of the train know little about Knott, being able to give merely the initial of his first name They told Coroner Bill that he had been with the New Haven road for about four or five
 ,nth.s past, during which time his headquarters have Deen in New Lon don. His home is believed to be in the west
 The extreme weight of the cars un- der which Knott was crushed is indi- cated by the condition of the silver coins that were taken from his pocket and turned over to Coroner Bill A half dollar and a dime were both bent and an impression of the smaller coin stamped into the larger one A ten. a five and a one dollar bill folded over the silver coins were cut through and through. Strangely enough, several cigarettes in a paper box taken from the dead mans pockets were not dam aged.
 It was said by railroad man soon after the accident that Knott had asked off duty Thursday, but did not get per- mission in time to save him from going out on the trip that cost him his life He was clean living young man, total abstainer and had made many friends along the line between Worces- ter and New London. The body is held here pending instructions from rela- lives.

SKIPPED FIFTY
Census Taker in First Ward far from Thorough-SpeciaI Agent from New Haven Investigating.

IT. M. Lawson, special agent of the census from the office of Professor Bai- Thursday for conference with the members of the committee. consist ing of Judge L. H. Fuller, A. NJ Bo- wen and c. D. Sharpe. appointed by the Putnam Business Mems associa- ton for the purpose of Investigating the reported faulty taking of the cen sus in this city.
 That there was ground for making the investigation has been fully estab lished as far as the First ward is con- cerned.
 The committee found that in this ward which covers that pert of the city south of Pomfret bridge, South Main and Grove streets, 5S names had been omitted by the enumerator; also that he had duplicate entries of eight names.
 The investigation by the committee. therefore means a net gain of 50 in the First ward over the figures sub mitted to the census bureau by the enumerator for the district.
 The laxity with which the work was performed is indicated by the fact that in the old Quinebaug house in the rear of the Putnam inn, eight per sons were missed by the census taker. six more persons living on King street did not get listed, F more on School street were not recorded as residents of Putnam and on Bradley street were omitted. The remainder of the 5S' persons whom the census taker did not find are scattered through va rious sections of the First ward.
 As far as the committee has been able to ascertain the work of the enumerstors in the other wards of the city was thoroughly performed.
 Agent Lawson expressed surprise that such a. large number should have escaped enumeration in a single ward in a city as small as Putnam The residents in the section of the city under consideration were surprised to find that the figures as originally talk en showed a loss of 29 persons since the taking of the last census, and this notwithstanding the fact that 21 new dwellings have been built there during the past ten years.

My Husband.

A question has arisen in society what a women should call her husband -whether it should be Mir. Smith. or John, or Henry. and the suggestion comes back, with a good show of sense. that the best way to refer to him is as
 my husband" The smart set' doesn't like this for it seems to indicate sort of possessory relationship. when the fact is the man should be identified by the name of an individual, just any old Robert or James that might come handy. But that is the smart set" to which husband means too much.
 To hear a woman call her husband my husband" sounds well. It has a meaning to it. It suggests a sacred re- lation which plain William or Samuel does not. And it is the same with my wife" A man may thing a great deal of his wife and refer to her as Mary, or Jane, or Sophia, but when he speaks of her as my wife" it is in ac- knowledgement of a holy alliance that sheds a radiance over his life. There was once a man who alluded to his wife always as Jen. which showed the familiarity of love, but there is the dignity of love. too. which is impor- tant.-Ohio State Journal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Memorial Day at South KiIIinaIy

Memorial Day at South kilIingly.
 Mr. Editor: There is a tense local feeling over the action of the Daniel son committee of McGregor post, G. A. R.. that the veterans who annually come here on Memorial Sunday do not dish an address next Sunday in the church. The pastor, Virgil w. Black man, was so notified more than two weeks ago and he accepted an invi- tation to speak near Waterbury. Now the folks here, or a few of them, are determined to have speaking whether, as they say, the G. A. R. go into the church or not. We want it distinctly understood that the minister would have remained here for Sunday had his service been desired.
 The G. A. R. will come up with band and the children are asked to form in front of the church at 2 p. m- The G. A. R. chaplain win conduct ap- propriate exercises in the cemeteries. If a speaker is brought in due notice will be given, which probably will be done. B.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Brakeman Leroy Knott Crushed Be-
 meath Wheels at DayviIIe.

Leroy Knott, 28. head brakeman on local freight No. 774 in charge of Con ductor Hastings, was crushed beneath the wheels of his train at Dayvilie about II o'clock Thursday morning and instantly killed. Just how the accident happened no one is able to say, as there was no witness to it.
 Knott had gone down to throw the switch near the trolley bridge for a section of the train consisting of the engine and five cars, which were to be backed onto the siding. The next the train crew saw of him he was lying dead between the tracks.
 One theory is that Knott started to run along beside the ears after he had thrown the switch and that he caught his foot in a switch frog and was drawn under the wheels.
 The body was badly mangled. The left leg was cut off at the thigh. The left arm and Q section Of the body at the shoulder were also severed and the abdomen horribly crushed. The mans back was broken, also the right arm.
 Coroner Arthur c. Bill viewed the body and gave permission for Louis F.

Not a Freak.

A woman who has spent her long life in Alexandria, Va, eight miles from Washington, went 10 the capital the other day and while there saw MT. Taft. the first president upon whom she had ever laid eyes, though seven teen have sat in the White House since she was born. That she could have so little curiosity concerning celebrities is considered remarkable by the news paper correspondent who discovered her. but is it so strange
 A good many people have lived long and happy lives in this big country of ours and Ghave gone to their reward without having seen even one president of the United States. If they had lived within few miles of the capitol they might have made an effort to catch sight of each one as he came or went, for a president is an object of interest even in Washington, where he is seen at close range; but again they might not. If the cores pondent were to go on an Investigating tour he would undoubtedly ind Il considerable le number of men and women living in Washington who have never seen Pres - ident Taft. perhaps not President Roosevelt or his predecessors. II is not that they are not interested in the man at the head of the government. but because 1t takes some exertion to see him, and because they can see him at any time they do not make the ef- fort.--Indianapolis Sta/
