THE OLD HOME SEASON.

The Old Home week is child of
New Hampshire and it has been prof
table to that state and been recog-
nized as worthy of adoption by many
a sister state 1t has been kept up
only by those who made it wha- Il
was intended to be-a quiet, o1d-fash
toned reunion instead of a week Of
parades, brass bands and other thinys
which, while they please the people,
become too much of a tax upon them.
Absent sons and daughters like these
old home seasons because they open
large opportunities to meet old friends
and acquaintances. 1t is business on
the part of the towns who know how
to do the thing regularly to send nc
tice out to them all: Come back and
we will invite all your old friends ami
neighbors and have day of rejoicing
1t keeps alive in those who have
sought larger or more attractive op-
portunities healthy interest in their
native towns which not infrequentlS
proves of large benefit to them.
AS the summons comes to one ana
another, from all over New England
during the coming two months" says
the Boston Transcript, sit will be a
good thing for all who can do t.
respond in person. It will provide a
mellow memory for the rest of the

The Safe Way.

While the "standpatters" Of the old
gpard are thus preparing for action,
the outlawed insurgents are planning
to work together with more or less CO.
operation, and IT would not be surpris-
ing IL a distinct organization should
appear. The announcement that Colo
mel Roosevelt will speak for Senator
Beveridge in Indiana has doubtless
brought joy to the heart of every in
surgent in the country, and that
speech can hardly fail to be a help to
them all. By this time, moreover, the
experience of Congressman Poindexter
has probably suggested to other insur-
gents the course for them to follow
when questioned by the reporters after
visiting the great man at oyster Bay.
Like the astute La Toilette they
should smile gleefuliy and declare that
all is satisfa Glory and that every
prospect pleases." but they should be-
ware of any definite statement except
to say that Colonel Roosevelt lis the
greatest living American" This last

MORE LAW WANTED.

Bill, in the case of the recent fatality
at AIexander's lake in the town OF

seems to me that legislation is needed
in regard to the handling and use of
firearms by minors That the firing

death dealing bullets from quarter
to a half mile, by boys who seem to
have no regard as to where the bull
lets ars to land, is altogether too fire.

The necessity for strong law in this
direction is self-evfdent from the IA

OF It, There is too much license given

sIriction and more protective Laws are
ceris ;nfy desirable. As the legislature

THE REFRESHING RAIN.

The downpour of Saturday night

Norwich and vicinity, where there has
not been a shower worth mentioning
for about q month. The patter of the
ratndrops on the roof sounded like
sweet song and while the water may
not have penetrated the earth to any
extent it has proved of inestimable
benefit to gardens and lawns which

stuff for September and October fruit

A DECISION OF LOCAL INTEREST

The members of the Royal Arcanum
in eastern Connecticut viii be inter-
ested in the decision handed down on
Friday by Judge Kelley of the su
prene court of New York in the ca Sc
of Samuel Green Of Brooklyn, a menu
Der of the order since 1888, who had
his assessment increased a number
OF times, and finally paid only under
protest When it had been raised
from the original sum of $1.SG to $3.50
he refused to pay, and brought suit
in the supreme court.
Justice Kelly in his finding declares
that the society cannot assume an I'M
limited reserve power to increase the
amount Of assessment to an extent
which might be prohibitive and could
only result in depriving the individual
Of his membership. He finds, too, that
any agreement upon the part of
member at the date of his admission to
be governed by the law and regulation
Of the organization then in force is not
suzncsent to warrant the society in in
crsasing the amount of individual as
sexsment-
The effect of this decision is now
being discussed wherever the members
Of the Royal Arcanum abide, and there
are varying opinions to its effect
upon the order
The New Haven Times Leader has
this TO say concerning the opinions
of members:
When 2 man joins the order he
signs an agreement to accept without
question any future rate that may be
set. According to Justice Kelly's find
ing, such agreement does not warrant
the orders raising rates.
"A local leader of the Royal Arcan-
UNI stated that the order was not
started on scientific principles. The
original organization seemingly was
along hit and miss lines They never
had money enough 10 esta blish a re-
serve fund. After a generation of
members passed off the stage, the
necessity Of more funds became press
ing. Hence the raise that took place
four or five years ago.
Local ArcanuTnites were not suff1-
clently acquainted with the Brooklyn
case to discuss il or its effect on the
state order Local people, however,
did say that in the past several de-
cisions in minor courts had gone
against the order. These had always
been upset by the major courts. The
high courts had always decided that
Royal Arcanum rates were legal and
binding on all members OF the order"

THE VACATION SEASON.

The vacation in ats present form is
modern ane it is surprising what
large amount of money is invested
in these so-caIled annual rests by
the great stores and industries, with
a view of getting the money back
through the increased efficiency and
falthfuIness of those who enjoy their
bounty
1t seems to us that the vacation
that is rest is the exception not
the rule. These are strenuous times
and the people do not know how to
Ioaf-they simply know how to do
something else which is pleasing to
them, and a vacation may consist of
travel or Of work-t seldom is sea
son or actual fdleness. Too many,
perhaps return in 8 more exhausted
physical condition than when they
started out, and recuperate from the
less strenuous occupation which for
time they left for their own better
nent
But they doubtless have been bene-
ated. for the slogan now is that man
needs not a rest, only a change of
occupations, and they certainly get
that.
It is I'D to the vacationist to have
a good time. and to make good" to
his employers for giving it to him. If
It is not regarded as a gift, but as
debt, then it is up to the worker TO
perform his duties SO that his employ
ers will owe him the same good will,
God bless-you and leave of absence
another year. All aboard!

Candles in Favor.

The use of candles is gaining favor
each season in this country. In fact,
it is not unusual today to find the hall
table of the summer cottage provided
with a row Of candles, from which
each person selects one to light him to
his room. This English fashion may
seem strange in our houses so admir-
ably equipped with gas or electricity,
but even so, it has a charm which is
felt by those who experience IL. The
candles thus placed are never provided
with shades. However, for lighting
the dining table or giving a faint light
in the living-room. the candle shade
is the proper thing.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES RAILWAYS

The British board of trade has pub
Iished report on the Naturalization
of Railways in the various countries
of the world. The statistics in this
report are timely in view of the opin-
ion, frequently expressed in these
days, that American railways viii
eventually be owned and operated by
the government.
The records show that government
owned roads are operated, in many
cases much less economically than the
roads operated by companies. Here are
a few of the facts:
American railways. under private
ownership, keep operating expenses at
about two-thirds of receipts.
Canada has 1,444 miles of govern
ment road on which tn" expenses are
SO per cent. of the receipts. On the
other hand, the Canadian Pacific, a
privately owned line traversing the
same kind of territory, earns a surplus
every year.
The government owned Rio de Ouro
railway of Brazil has 1922 of expenses
for every 81 of revenue. The Central
1904 miles long. has expenses equal to
SO per cent of its receipts. The West
of Ninas and Norma Christina have
expenses, respectively, of 1O7 per cent.
and $40 per cent. of receipts.
On the 636 miles of government
roads in Newfoundland expenses are
13H per cent of receipts.
Austria, with more than five thou
sand miles of government lines, had
to pay on their account in 1907 a de-
felt of more than $13,oo0,00O.
In Denmark, where conditions on
government lines are most favorable.
expenses are so per cent. of receipts.
In Italy they are SO per cent.
Russian state railroads earned a de-
felt of $6O.000,oo0 in 1907.
In considering the growing troubles
of other countries arising from gov
erngnent ownership of railroads, it is
interesting to recall that some states
in this country dabb1ed in government
roads for a time. Pennsylvania in
1885 owned PCS miles of railroad. The
operation of even so small a system
was enough to lay the foundation for
a debt which kept growing with the
railroads until the state was threat
ened with bankruptcy. AT the same
time the railroads were made the
means of the grossest corruption that
has ever dissraced the political annals
of any state. On pay day the pay
master openly dumped 81 part of every
mans wages into a bag labelled "Po-
litfcal Assessments:" and on election
day train loads of railroad employees
went over the road. stopping and vot-
ing at every polling station.
Under such conditions as these the
state was glad to sell the main line of
the public works, in 1857, to the Penn
sylvania railroad, organized ten years
before Deficits at once ceased; ser
vice improved under private owner
ship. and has continued to improve.
