The feeding of the hungry soldiers of
Zelaya's conquered army with supplies
from the warships of the United States
should serve as a demonstration to Latin
Americans of the benevolent and forgiv-
ing spirit in which Uncle Sam takes a
hand in the affairs of the little repub-
lies. Had Nicaragua under Zelaya been
a republic in fact as well as in name Ze-
laya might have continued at the head
of its affairs instead of being forced to
seek refuge in other lands.

Texas people may have reason for
their confidence that they are better
qualified to decide what is whisky than
anybody else. But suppose they are mis-
taken? Suppose that the forty-rod and
tangefoot they have been imbibing with
recklessness characteristic of the great
Southwest was not what they think?
Perhaps they would do well to accept
the authority of man like President
Taft. who has Travelled.

After all that has been said anent
the recent disaster in the mine at Cher
ry. Illinois, concerning the duty of own
ers to safeguard the miners, and the
duty of the latter to protect themselves
and their fellows by the exercise Of care,
it is discouraging to learn that the mine
explosion just reported from Herrin,
Illinois, where eight men lost their
lives. was due to the carrying of open
lamps by the mine engineer and his as
sistant. Going through a mine with
bare lights is like toying with matches
in the vicinity of powder magazine,
and explosions and deaths will result
so long as miners persist in the unwise
practice.

auired not only the territory of Russian

The narrow escape from destruction by
fire Of the White Star liner Celtic, in
whose hoid a consignment of cotton burst
into flame spontaneously, ought to put
all steamship captains ON the alert for
this particular menace to life on the sea.
The science of the marine architect has
reduced the dangers of the sea to mini
mum, but until the upper works of pas
senger steamers are made fire-proof there
will always be danger from fire, which
can be reduced only by constant vigil
ance. The same remark can be made in
regard TO collisions, which can be pre-
vented by close watch on deck while
guardians below are on the lookout for
possible blaZes.

Whisky manufacturers express them
selves as pleased at President Taft's de-
cision that whisky must be labeled to IN

inform the consumer exactly what he IS

time in regard to the nature of whisky

Although life-savers are commissioned
primarily for the saving of endangered
mariners, the United States Life Saving
Service extends its protective influence
over all who place their lives at risk.
The annual report of the superintendent
chronicles the saving of a woman who
was about to be hurled over bluff, the
rescue of a man who fell from a dock,
the release of a man who was lost in
morass, the saving of two men who had
become helpless ON the face of cliff,
and the prevention of a suicide. In Mil
waukee the principal operations of the
life savers during the season of 1863
were in the interest of persons other
than mariners. However, all this sim
ply demonstrates the usefulness of the
service, which is without critics because
of the work it does when work counts.
On the Atlantic coast there is still active
work for the life savers, who were busy
rescuing mariners during the blizzard
which has just swept over the East

RIP VAN TWINKLE
 IS COMING

Joseph Jeffersons great creation Rip Van Wrinkle, will be given at the town hall in North Canaan. Wednesday even ing next, September 21, by George Kier- man, under the auspices of the Cranford club. Tickets are now on sale at Collin 's jewelry store, Main street, at % cents. In his interpretation of Rip Van Wiukle, MT Kiernan has acheived the remarka- ble feat of recalling sympathetically MT Jefferson's almost classic presentation of that character without arousing that resentment which might readily be awakened did he descended to sheer mimicry, or did he violate the memory of the past by rudely clashing with trad ition. These dangerous extremes he avoids with marked success and offers an impersonation alike interesting in itself and in it's suggestion of MT Jeffer- sons art. He not only recites the lines iu imitation of the actor. but the per fect2y natural way in which he repro duces Jefferson's subtle mannerisms testifes tFat he has really caught the spirit of that master of histrionic art. The presentation is delightfully."- instruc- tive as well as entertaining. None auOuid IuisS ir.

products has been of slow growth.
From the earliest history of the race
in all sparsely settled countries the
enactment of laws has had for its

is entirely proper where the sparsely

sources apparently without limit, but
the steady incl ease of population of
countries rich in natural wealth is
greatly augmented by immigration.
In time they become densely popuia-

be- enacted that will conserve the nat
ural resources so that no one class
shall control it against the whole.
No state in the Union had or has
greater natural wealth than our state,
