 Solved all the mysteries of faunal

 learning, With his busy brain sloth spurning, He couldn't understand his simple
 wife? He had studied mind and matter Till all problems he could shatter; Forever he was bent above his

 thriven Since the earth from sun was riven: He could classify the human face He could find no task scholastic That his brain baked at as drastic; Honors and degrees untold he'd
 won; He'd dissected human nature To its most secretfve feature Yet failed to comprehend his only He had traversed lands and oceans, Had imbibed all nations notions, All character to him was clear as

ssNOSE BEHIND BRIDGEPORT"
 "GREATER WATERBURY,"
(waterbury Republican,


 The official announcement of the census bureau gives the population of Waterbury as 73,141. There is no use in our garbling or making mis- leading statements in order to in crease the/ percentage of growth by taking the population of the city proper in 1900 as 45,S59 and figuring from that. The population of what is now Waterbury was then 51,139. Nothing has been annexed. We are the same people under an amended charter and the town prerogatives have been past to the city. The per centage of gain must be calculated from the old town population in 1900. It amounts to 43 and a frac- ton so small as to be useless. AS a matter of fact Bridgeport leads us by seven-tenths of one per cent, and we must acknowledge that we are a nose behind.
 It is a matter of great satisfaction, however, that this inland city, with no water communication, and upon branch lines of railroad should stride so far ahead of New Haven and Hartford in percentage of in crease and finish under the wire with Bridgeport at almost dead heat.
 A like percentage of increase dur ing the coming ten years will carry Waterbury past the 100000 mark and there is no good reason to believe that in the next census we will not make as good a showing as we have in this one.

PUBLIC OPINION
HIGH LIVING VS. HIGH
 COST OF LIVING

Editor of The Farmer:-At a re- Bosses of Fairfield County-Con- gressman Hill is reported as saying: ''The American people are living too fast, but there is nothing wrong about it and the people will right it when the time comes."
 By living too fast" I suppose he refers to what is usually called high living" A janitor living in an attic room of a modern skyscraper would be living quite high even if he was not guilty of living too fast and how could he escape the high cost of ltv- ing?
 The average annual salary of a minister of the gospel was $66S in all denominations represented In a' special report on the census of relig ious bodies for 1906, now in press Director Durand. Preachers ,are claiming they can't live on such pay. and they can't. But the workers of the country are forced to live on average yearly wages, in all trades,
 Miss Leonora O'Reilly. organizer of the Women's Trade Union League, declared that in the Warner (corset) factory at Bridgeport, Conn.,, some of the girls are able only to earn $3 a week because of the adoption and enforcement of a set of rules.
 It is quite evident if these girls live too fast they are driven to it. the high cost of living is nothing short of criminal-"Rob not the poor because he is poor"
 There is no denying that nearly all members of the American Pluto crats' Association live far too fast and the working people pay the bills in the high cost of living.
 sSome-ofaim that G. O.. P. means Going Out Party!, It is certainly foolish if not criminal to vote to con- tinue the awful Grind Of Poverty

THE DEMURRAGE LAW.
CThe Commercial Record.)

The question of the demurrage law in the State of Connecticut is again before the public. To the close ob- server it is very apparent that the conditions which existed when the New Haven made it's last strongest effort, some five years ago. for a change in the law as it appears son the statute. books today have radically changed and mostly disappeared. There were congestion and confusion then; the road was short of freight cars, locomotives and switchers, and the trackage was insufficient for the needs of that day. Shippers and re- capped and there was general com plaint all along the line. Since that time the road has undergone a won derful transformation. The company has invested millions in new equip ment, including the purchase of over twenty thousand freight cars and many new locomotives; enlarged it's track practically double-tracked the Nauga- tuck division, where the congestion was most acute. Thus, the chief source of complaint, viz, delay in delivery of freight, has been removed.
 This seems to be the only State in the Union that has steadfastly refused to fall into line (for Vermont from a railroad standpoint does not count, ) and now that the Interstate Comnis- sion has been clothed with the neces- sary authority to act in the case, it seems altogether probable that the Connecticut law will be shortly nulli- fled by a Federal order making AS hours the limit of time for loading or unloading a car throughout New Eng land.
 There are features about the new regulation, as already outlined. which make it much easier to comply with than might have been expected by the opponents of the measure. The bunch ing of cars renders the law void. and should the car fail to be "placed' .un- til after a. n., time would not begin to count until the next day at the same hour.
 There have been hundreds of cases where consignees have used cars as storeheuses from which to sell their goods and much of the car shortage has been due to this cause. If the present demurrage law has entailed a heavy annual loss to the roads of New England. it's abolishment may serve to reduce the chances of any general ad- vance in freight rates. In the opinion of experts who have made the subject a study, the 4S-hour law will operate to the benefit of all concerned.

PRODUCE YOUR PROOFS,
 PROF. FISHER

Prof. Fisher of Wesleyan. and Mayor Fisher of Middletown-one and the same person-reiterates his objections to the nomination of Ex-Chief Justice Baldwin for Governor by the Demo- cratic party, which were put forth in his letter to Chairman Comstock of the. State committee and which were quite effectively disposed of by MT. Comstock MT. Fishers second letter Is addressed to the New Haven Union ands makes no reference whatever to ChaiAman Comstock's reply to the orig inaI deliverance.
 He refers to "self-styled Democratic paperss' which condemn tariff enormi- ties and 'fE no other matters can be found on the peoples side''. and which support no Democratic candidates "ex- cept those of the ultra conservative type" Whether this characterization applies rightly to the Farmer. we are content to leave to its>readers for de- cision.
 ,. Prof. Fishers reference to 'fnces- sant prating about utilities commis- sion' indicates a disposition to belit- tie a project which is strongly ap- pnoved by public sentiment. It might be, well for the State Business Mems Association to prod him for direct answe< to its circular query.
 He. declares. but without other proof than shis own word. that under Judge Baldwin as Governor. the peoples wish for an tequitable liability law. for econ onny in, expenditures. repeal of the State tax. ratification of the income tax. amendment. busting or tagging of the, lobby. home rule for cities. "con- servative modernizing of the Sunday law, and reform of the caucus and election laws. could not be realized. This lis a very broad assertion. and Prof Fisher should either produce proofs >or stand convicted of reckless statements. If he is correct. the party should know. at the earliest. possible opportunity.
 Prof. Fisher asserts that although he is now against the nomination of Judge Baldwin. he will probably sIIp- port him if nominated. because he should hope rather better from him than from any Republican
 Really. if what he says as to what Judge Baldwin would oppose as Gov ernor. is true. which we most gravely doubt. nothing worse could be expected from any Republican. F4r
 Prof. Fisher should either produce proofs or withdraw his charges.

President Taft is preparing letter Tor publication in the Republican cam- paignN book. in which he will claim that all the. legislation urged by him was enacted by Congress. Precisely how ne will dodge certain facts does not yet appear-for instance. the woolen tariff schedule which he has con- 1emned. or the railroad bill. several of the pro-corporation features Of which were voted out by the Democratic-In- surgent combination. It is a large task which the President has under taken.
 He will. it is said discountenance any efforts to read Insurgents, out of the party. This will be a decided re- ouke to such men as Vice President Sherman. Speaker Cannon. Senator AL irich and others.
 The Presidents letter will be await d with great interest. It will reveal he degree of his skill. if any. as politician.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-08-23

"He will" says "Trun1bullp in the New York Herald. "be a very much marked man who will get into the Legislature in the coming session and who will fail to do what he has prom ised thea citizens in the way of voting for a public utility law along the lines suggested sby the State Business Mems Association
 Those who repudiate their pledges, will probably be men who hava noth- ing to lose-who have no political fu- lures beyond the legislative position then occupied. There may be many such, for the corporation policy is probaBly to secure the nomination of men of that stamp

PALISADE SAW COMET.
The Wonderful Spectacle Appeared
on Morning of May 6.

Palisade caught its first view of
Halley's comet on the morning of
May 6. Thanks, and many of them,
to Policeman James Carney for awak
ening "The Palisadian." 1t was a
wonderfully impressive spectacle,
and one to be long remembered. In
the eastern sky, about twenty degrees
high, and to the northwest of the
panel Venus, the comet swept the
heavens, the strangest of all heaven
ly visitors. It's head was round, and
half the size of the moon, and the
tail, long and straight, spread some
fifteen degrees to the southeast. 1t
was like all the pictures one sees of
comets. Venus looked as big as
mans hat, brim and all, and shone
with marvellous brilliancy. In fact,
it is question if any one ever saw
this planet more wondrously beauti-
full than the morning of the comets
first appearance. 1t was as if she
wanted to put on more shine for this
especial occasion.
AS for the comet ITSELF it wasn't
anything of disappointment. Of
lcer Carney stopped car filled with
passengers at the Junction about 2.3o
IA W., anu SHOWcu lIIcIl the lIIlpOS-
ing spectacle. Everybody got out of
the car and watched the comet for
several minutes. The air was clear
and crisp, affording the best possible
conditions for observation. The po-
liceman remarked,
That's the first comet I ever saw,
and it is peculiar to look at Just to
think, here be a man O. forty and
never one of them things come
around before. l just thought you'd
like to see it"
And so we were, Carney Your
appreciation was no greater than
our. "You should have rung the fire
Alarm some one suggested, which
would have been good idea. AS it
was, number of people got up and
saw the great sky picture, then went
shivering back to bed

FLOWER THIEVES.
Ruthless Slaughter of Tulips at Night
in Bluff Road.

During the night time in the latter
part of April a thief or thieves
there were doubtless two-entered
the garden of the Charles T. Logans
at Bluff and Cumbermede roads, and
also that of the R. R. Browns, Dear
born road, and gave an object les
son in Strengthening the innocents"
They cut down close to the ground
some FIVE or six dozen handsome
"Keiserkrone" tulips, a special va
riety, which grow large and are very
handsome. They were in beautiful
flower, and just right for selling pur-
poses. Some one who evidently
knows how to admire as we'll as
steal, plucked the tulips hurriedly in
the night time, although Policeman
Charles Abbott was on duty OF
course, no blame is attached to the
officer, the presence of the theft be-
ing mere coincidence with his abb
sence in another part of his too large
territory. In his hurry the thief left
several tulips on the ground. There
isn't much difference in flower steal
ing and burglary, and anyone caught
in the act should be dealt with on the
same terms as housebreaker This
fellow felt his way some night pre-
viously by stealing only a few tulips,
He later made his big haul,

PAL1sADE SHOULD GROW.
Old Resident Talks About the Prom
ising Future.

"The wise ones who moved to Pail
SADIE in 1905, the real pioneers, were
heard to say, many of them, We do
not look to see Palisade much of
place under five or six years There
where many who thought this said
a pioneer resident the other day, "and
it is easy now to see how nearly right
they were. For my own part | never
could see what was to push the place
ahead until its real charm had become
more widely known. Palisade, how
ever, will now go ahead faster than
ever. If Ridgefeld Park, two miles
away, can build AS houses in one
year, certainly Palisade should build
eighth of that number and not
half try. There is, however, a big
difference between the homes of Pail
SADIE and those of Ridgeiield Park,
and that is largely in our favor"
Let us hope that the pioneer IS no
bad prophet,
