Taft Developing
Courage.

Francis Burton Harrison, a New
York congressman, was the first to be
turned away from the White House
since the beginning Of the present
administration. President Taft was
angry at the gentleman because the
latter had dared to crtticise him in
connection with the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation. Harrison was to head
a delegation OF friends who desired an
audience with. the president The
friends were received most graciously,
but the New Yorker was quietly re-
quested, in effect. to not come any
further than the front gate. The in
structions" were needed. even without
protest.
Mr.. Taft's second courage seems to
have possessed him in recent months.
He is positively getting bo1d-almost
obstinate in his attitude toward men
and institutions on certain occasions.
1t has not been long since our erst-
while sweet-tempered president dared
to larrup the American press for its
many sins.
Last week he spoke to an audience
OF female college graduates and dis
coursed at length on the divine func-
ton of matrimony and motherhood.
Mr.. Taft talked straight from the
shoulder on this occasion and his re-
marks served to give him applause
from corners heretofore stingy with
it's boot thunder. In short, it may be
said that Mr.. Taft made a hit.
Just prior to this, it will be remem-
bered, the mention of his name before
body of suffragettes, was occasion
for noisy Kissing by the enraged
females. The president had gone on
record as disappearing suffrage for
women. He had been bold enough To
tread where even the hearts OF angels
would fail
A few days since, Mr.. Taft hurled q
bomb into the camp of the socialists,
whose echo is still resounding. This
of course has thrown the adherents OF
this creed at his throat It also put
everybody else to talking, and mar.
yelling at the Presidents nerve
Really all Of this put together is
enough to redeem Mr.. Taft In the
sight Of his restless, defiant prede.
oessor.
Mr.. Taft has shown that he is sensi.
tive to criticism; that he can present
ideas, whether they are his or not. II
he VIII fire IN few iong-winded broad
sides to congress and veto something
1t doesn't matter what-hs will gain

Taft Growing in Popularity.

Col. Seth Bullock of Deadwood. who has just been reappointed marshal of South Dakota, has left Washington in a very grateful mood to President Taft but in no respect thereby diminishing his loyalty to Theodore Roosevelt. He says:
 President Taft is exceedingly popu- lar in the west, and his popularity is still growing. The people believe in him as they believed in Roosevelt
 He is carrying out the Roosevelt policies. This is a sure thing. because he believes the Roosevelt policies are right. It is a strange thing, but true. that man has to disappear, not nec- essarily die, to be appreciated. Two years ago many persons were con- demning Roosevelt for his strenuous ness; they could see nothing in his policies. But today they are shouting. for him the loudest. It will be the same toward Mir. Taft"

Killingly was also incorporated at the May session of 17OS. The town of Pomfret was named in 1713 The custom of nam ing the towns was one of special in terest. The fact in itself paved the way for town government. The pre- negatives of town administration were not exercised until town organization was effected.
