and gave the opinion that such purpose
did not appear likely. 1t pointed out that
| the distinguished educator was not the
man for such a game.
When the suggestion proved true, and
Mr.. Wilson appeared in the field under
the escort Of those interests. The Star ex-
pressed the opinion that If the candidacy
was successful at the polls somebody
would be disappointed. It could not rec
ognize in such q man an agent for carry
ing out the policies and purposes Of ma
chine politicians and their business ASSOC
ciates.
The Stars second appraisement OF the
situation has been verified. Somebody
has been disappointed. For particulars

Newark, and one or two gentlemen who
claim New Jersey as a place Of residence.
but do business in New York
But is it in the power OF the Smith peo-
pie to do Mr.. Wilson because OF his at
titude on the senatorial question? Will
they be able to balk him in his state poll
cies? Are they strong enough to make
their leader supreme, and visit upon the
people Of the commonwealth punishment
for what they consider an affront put
upon him?
AS for the country at large, it remains
to be seen what appreciation attaches to
this latest clash between a man new to
politics and veteran politicians respon-
STOLE for his presence there. Does he owe
them, or they him? In New York several
years ago Charles E. Hughes from the
governors chair appealed to the people
on much the same principle. and won.
The only criticism attaching to Mr.. Will
son is that he should have known his
company. When the Greeks appeared
bearing that gubernatorial nomination
and intimating that a presidential nomi-
nation might follow. he should and might,
have guessed their full program, and the
full part in it they had assigned to him.

The Boys and the Farm.

The Importance Of the boys corn club
movement in the south cannot easily
be estimated. Yesterdays visit OF prize
winners to the Department of Agricui-
ture may be regarded as the elimination
Of the years work of these young agri-
culturists. But in point Of fact it is but
the beginning of a far more significant
activity. This movement is accomplish
ing several things. 1t is first Of all tend
ing to diversity the southern crops by
increasing the acreage devoted to corn,
which has hitherto been a comparative
neglected product Next, it is serving
to teach more efficient methods of farm
ing. Finally, it is interesting the boys in
farm work and tending to keep them on
the soil and make them prosperous pro-
ducers instead Of joining the army Of
city consumers. This movement has in
short the germ of a great sociological
development for all the states where it
is in progress.
The Department. of Agriculture is prov
ing its value constantly in many ways,
but in none more definitely and clearly
than in the encouragement of American
youth to adopt the cultivation of the soil
as career. It is vitality essential that
the children of farmers should them
selves till the land their fathers and
their grandfathers have titled. They are
potentially the best farmers. If they
move to the city to learn trades or to
enter the professions or to drift inefi-
GENTLY through life, somebody must take
their places to grow the crops essential
to the feeding of the people. A dangerous
tendencN exists toward the elimination
of the small farmer and the substitu-
ton of the syndicate, or the large in
dividual holder of land. This destroys
competition at the source Of the necessi-
ties of life. 1t tends Enthusiastically to
higher prices and to the increase in the
number Of non-producing individuals
Only by making the farm attractive
and profitable can any Roadway be made
against this city-drifting disposition,
with its inevitable consequence Of dan
gerous concentration. The telephone,
the electric car. the rural free delivery
and to some extent the good roads move
ment have all contributed to lessen the
disadvantages Of rural existence Now
comes science, leading to an increase in
the profits and in the dignity CT farm
ing. 1t is important that the competition
among the boys in the south which has
just been brought to SO successful a con-
clusion should be extended into all parts
Of the country.

The American Civic Association.

American city making has reached the
stage at which it is necessary to pause
and take thought of better ways of living
in the large centers. In the rush of af-
fairs in the new world little attention
was paid in the beginning to the way in
which the cities grew and developed.
Colonists settled at convenient points
with an eye to ease OF access in the alb
sence of transportation facilities. Elk
pansion was accomplished by the natural
process of pushing the municipal from
tiers. following trails and paths and pas
ture tracks. making no provision for In
terror breathing spaces. Indeed, few Of
the earlier city administrators had any
concept of the possibilities Of the future
and proceeded in confidence that there
would always be room enough for all
corners.
strong evidence of the need today Of
better methods of city development and
administration is afforded by the exist
ence of the American Civic Association,
now in annual session in this city, an or
ganization designed to solve the problems
of city life. 1t is proceeding upon the
plan of popular education. Its members
and officers realize that all such move
the lapse of years a certain vested in
terest in congestion has been created, and
the attendant evils must be eliminated at
heavy sacrifices and through the awak-
ening of the civic consciousness of the
people.
In its scope the American Civic Asso-
citation embraces all the subjects that
pertain to the city life of people. 1t con-
sanitation, recreation, education. 1t is a
distinctly practical and profitable move
ment. 1t seeks to earn dividends In terms
of better citizens. healthier. happier, more
progressive and more self-reliant city
jewellers. 1t would give to every city an
adequate equipment of parks, not merely
for recreation, but for health and for the
cultivation of the nature sense that city
life is calculated to destroy. 1t would
improve the schools and make them more
effective adjuncts of the state in the train
ing of citizens. 1t would solve the char
ity problems by conserving all the forces
for the uplift of the unfortunate and their
restoration to physical and industrial
health.
Washington offers an inviting field for
these workers. They take an interest in
the problems that exist here and recog-
nize the necessity ola systematic endeavor
to make the capital a model municipality,
not merely in terms Of beautiful public
buildings and broad. well paved and
brightly lighted streets, but in all respects
as affects the health and the moral well
fare of the people. Just at this time
question is before Congress of the very
type that this association is organized to
consider. the reclamation OF one Of the
most noisome interior alley courts in
the city, a type of Washington's greatest
social evil. II through the influence of
the American Civic Association Congress
can be brought to realize the importance
of prompt action for the cure OF this par
ticular evil in the National Capital. the
organization will have demonstrated its
reason for being and greatly increase its
prestige as a factor in the betterment Of
the American people.

Patterson Of Tennessee.

Gov. Patterson of Tennessee is accredit-
ed with an ambition to be senator. He
refuses to consider himself done for.
Forced out Of the race for reelection,
and responsible for the success Of the re-
publican candidate for governor. he yet
dreams OF power, and is figuring on the
immediate future.
He is young, ambitious and able By
some he Is considered the best stump
speaker In the state. Not the phrase
maker that Mr.. Carmack was, nor the
story teller that Senator Taylor is he yet
has fuency, brilliancy and great readi.
ness. and has met In debate the pick of
both his own and the opposite party. He
won his second nomination for governor
over Mr.. Carmack after one Of the most
exciting campaigns the state had ever
known.
1t is easy to understand why he is still
full of fight. Not only Is private life
trying to such a man after experience
in public life. He would chafe under it,
even II nothing were held against his
official record. He would miss the ex-
element Of high station. He would fee
that his talents were being exercised on
minor things. He would long for the
fray again.
But Gov. Patterson probably fears the
effect OF an enforced Inactivity In the cir
cumstances. Ones enemies rarely cool
of. Ones friends sometimes do. Jus,
now the Pattersonians are warm for thei,
man. They take his view OF matters
They consider him much misrepresent.
ed and abused individual. They applaud
the spirit which controlled him In retiring
from the gubernatorial race. But how
long will this feeling continue IL their
favorite now disappears from the scene
and q new democratic leadership is In

Congress.

Congress Is making excellent progress.
There is much to show for the first week
OF the session, and If the pace is contin-
jed, Uncle Sam will get his supplies for
the next fiscal year without the slightest
trouble. There may be time for other
legislation, but it may not be improved.
There are almost as many republicans
as democrats who would be glad to see
the Presidents recommendations passed
on to the next Congress. and in the end
that course may prevail. How not to
do it, is racking many craniums today.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL Solemnity.

With various kindred fiercer still;
New microbes in each gust are found
That wanders DER the wintry hill.

Around the festal board have place,
The germs make gladdest holiday
And banquet on the human race.

| As the chemical analysis ordered by Coroner Brown of the whiskey that re- uiained in the bottle from which Charles R. Hood and Henry Larrow , drank, and died soon thereafter, show ed the presence of wood alcohol there Is no doubt but death was caused by that poison. Both men drank the liquor at their home in 82 West Broad
 street. Pawcatuck, Tuesday night and both died Thursday morning, Hood preceding his father-in-lay, Iarrow,
 by eight hours. Together they drank a
 pint and a half from the quart bottle, Mrs. Larrow taking small drink. On Friday Mrs. Larrow showed unnis- takaIble signs of poisoning, but recov- cred.
 These were the first cases that at tracted public attention, by reason of the summoning of Medical Examiner stanton of the town of Stonington. Dr. F. I. Payne, the attending physician, became suspicious as to the cause of death, because one of the women of the household persisted in self accusa tion to the effect that inasInuch as Hoods parents had not been notified of his sickness they would think that Hood had been poisoned by his wife in expectation of receiving life insurance money.
 The doctor at once took possession of the partially filled bottle of whiSkey, told the circumstances to Deputy Sheriff Casey, and the calling of the medical examiner and then the coroner was the result.
 Coroner Brown ordered an autopsy on the body of Iarrow, one having-a1- ready been made on Hoods body by Dr. Payne. The coroner took the whis- key and the contents of Larrow's s stomach away for analysis. After this came the other sudden deaths in Paw catuck, Westerly and Ashaway.
 Suspicion was at once removed from the LarrOw- Hood household and trans ferred to the drug store where it is a1- legged the whiskey containing wood al colo1 was purchased. In the three Pawcatuck cases. Larrow, Hood and DoheTty, positive statement is made that the whiskey was purchased in a Main street drug store, and like state ment is made in. connection with the Avondale case, and intimated in the Ashaway case. Therefore the tendency is to attribute the death of the others who died suddenly last week to poison ed wlliskey bought at this drug store
 Just the plan of action for further official investigation and prosecution had not been definitely determined afternoon in connection with the Connecticut cases, in which the poisoned whiskey was said to have been purchased in Westerly.
