LET IN THE SUNLIGHT \ OF PUBLICITY!

The Judson-Banks controversy has become so warm that the Hartford Courant practically calls for it's cessa- tion, but how can either of the two drop his contention without abandon ing his charges against the other and practically confessing himself a modern Ananias? Each has charged that bribery was attempted, or ac- comp1ished, in the others campaign. It seems to the\Farmer that in the Interest of morality and Of the t'de- cency in politics.. which was advo- cated by the late Senator HaWIey, the matter should be probed to the bottom and the healthful sunlight of publicity let in uponA H.the whited sep ulchers'' of Republican politics.
 Judson has produced an affidavit by Robert w. Marsh Of Easton, that he ..was offered the sum Of s2oo to stay at home or send a proxy and that s'this proposition was made by Jesse wheeler of Easton through a friend of mine''; also, an affidavit by B. R. Nichols of Easton that he was "ap- preached by a Banks man and told that if I could get Robert Marsh of the Easton delegation to change from Judson to Banks. there would be $1OO in it for him. and that he CNichols) delivered the message to MT. Marsh. g
 Banks denies that he attempted to buy Marsh, and states that Marsh is not the delegate whose vote was of fered to him for $100. He had pre- viously stated, in substance. that there was in Westport corruption by Judson men. and that it carried the Westport caucus for Judson.
 7 Banks has called upon Judson, as States Attorney, to investigate and make arrests of Banks men if evil dence can be found: Judsen is, as States Attorney, bound to investigate not only the acts of Banks men and, incidentally, those of himself, and to prosecute inpartiallN if evidence Of corruption is found.
 If the charges by Judson are we'll founded, the Banks campaign was, in some part, corrupt; if the charges by Banks have solid basis, the Judson campaign was in part, corrupt; if the charges brought by both sides are true, RepubIicanism is rotten, for it is not probable that such conditions are found in one district alone.

Col. Roosevelt denies that he ask ed for a conference with President Taft and states that he sought no aid and made no request,'' but that the President said he ''hoped we Rooseve1tians) would win'. This puts a different complexion upon the con- ference, though it seems to be a fact that fessrs. Griscom and Barnard, supporters of Roosevelt, sought and arranged the conference.

Magdeburg, Germany, Sept 22-The threatened split in the German So- cialist party was prevented today by the return of the Moderates, who quit the convention yesterday when a res olution was adopted by an overwheln- ing vote denouncing the Wartemberg Socialists fof supporting the budget. The Moderates put party success above factiona1 interest and decided it would be unable to divide the par ty in the 1911 elections.

The Lost Pluu Hat.

1.-The old proverb, 'Findin's is keep
ms usually holds good in the case
of silk hat" said the man. persons
who lose silk hats are always reluctant
to claim them. have found excellent
silk hats, and know other people who
have found hats just as good, but no
body ever tried to get them back
They were we'll worth advertising for,
too. Who can explain this disregard
for stray silk hats? Is ii due to mod
esty? Were they lost under conditions
SO discriminating that the loser would
rather buy another hat than reveal his
whereabouts and the circumstances
that caused him to lose his hat? That
hypothesis hardly seems tenable, be-
cause most silk hats are picked up in
very reputable places. Still the fact
remains that any person finding silk
hat is pretty sure TO be allowed to re-
joice in it's possession unmolested by
the owner New York Sun.

Naval Gun Power.

There is a tendency to Judge the
power of ship by the amount OF
metal which can be thrown II all the
guns were fired simultaneously and
without regard to whether they could
be brought to bear upon an enemy or
could be fired as fast In war as they
can be fired in theory-on paper. This
method of judging a ship OF war Is
somewhat analogous to the cannibal's
idea of effective music. To an untu-
tored savage the most effective piano
would be one in which the loud pedal
was always on, and the player in order
to produce the greatest volume of
sound struck all the notes at once. To
the practised ear the result would not
be music. In the same way to the ex-
pert gunnery officer the idea Of
mounting as many guns as possible in
a ship-it may be crowding them to-
gether so closely as to become
danger to the crew rather than the
enemy--and firing them all at once is
not effective gunnery. Naval shoot
ing is no longer a matter of dis
charging a number of shells haphazard
in the hope that proportion of them
will hit the enemy. 1t has become a
very exact science.-Cassier's Maya

FACTS ABOUT THE OSTRICH
Because of Resemblance to Camel,
Said to BE Connecting Link Be-
tween Beasts and Birds.

The ostrich, because of its resem-
blance to the camel, has been said to
be the connecting link between beasts
and birds, says a writer on the den
izens of the bird kingdom. There Is
a horny excrescence on the breast or
both the dromedary and the ostrich,
on which they lean while resting;
they have similarly formed feet; the
same muscular neck; their food is
much the same, and both can go an
Incredibly long time without water.
Moreover an ostrich never flies,
nor is it possible for 1t to lift itself
from the ground in the slightest de-
gree by the use Of its wings; but like
the camel It is very swift-footed. In
its native country the shells OF the
eggs afford almost the only house
hold utensils used. An egg will
weigh from three to four pounds and
is equal to two dozen hens eggs. 1t
requires 35 minutes to boil one, and
longer If required hard. A fresh egg
is worth S25.
The keeper of an ostrich farm says
the birds are the only thing he ever
tried that he has not succeeded In
tanning. They are known to live to
be seventy-f1ve years old, and some
think they will reach hundred. They
are about eight feet in height. Their
hearing and sight are very acute, and
these seem TO be about all the sense
they are blessed with. Their legs are
very powerful, and are the only weap-
on of defense; when they attack an
enemy they do so by kicking, but al
ways strike forward and never back
ward.
The choice Ostrich feathers" are
found only in the wings; the I'M
dressed feathers vary in price, having
been as low as $25 per pound and as
high as 5000, and there are from 20
to 80 feathers in a pound. single
bird rarely furnishes more than
dozen fine feathers, and the birds
themselves, if fine ones. are valued
at $1,000 per pair

Need of Beds for CONSERVATIVES.


The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Utah, with combined
population of over 100000, not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories.
Alaska, Delaware, Florida. Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina. South Da-
kota, Vermont and West Virginia, the
number of beds for consumptitves in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis Of 400
deaths to million of population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.
