THE WAR.

The period of arbitration treaties and of hope that Mars had finally been dethfoned culminates in a de- claration of war between Turkey and Italy in which all of Europe may pe embroiled, unless. the imbroglio can be adjusteds at an early period. Theoretically Italy should have little difficulty in being the victor. Turkey has no navy worth mentioning. Italy has some exceedingly powerful ships. Theoretically. Italy should have had TO difficulty in whipping King Meme lik and his half civilized Abyssinians a few years back, and England should have wiped the Boers off the map in no time. But the Italians were bad ly handled by Menelik, and the Eng fish had very hard aedding indeed before they overcame the Boers. The result in the present case is there fore less certain than it may seem to be. The Turk is good fighting man. A few centuries back he all but con- quered Europe, and a very long period he was the dominant military factor of the world How he stands today is another question.

WATER POLLUTION.

There is but one certain method of stamping out typhoid and other wa ter borne epidemics, and that is to prevent the development of the ty- phosis bacillus before it commences to. begin to start to develop.
 Wherever a water supply finds its source in water shed or surface feed ing, the possibility of its being con taminated by decomposing animal and vegetable matter is almost cer- tainty.
 If the rule be vigorously observed that cow sheds, slaughter houses, out side closets and cesspools be scrupu- lously disinfected periodically. there never need be any apprehension of a rypnoic epiGemic.
 However, the slightest lapse in the obserySaanGe of sanitary precautions, particularly in the event of a case de- veloping is fraught with dangerous

BUYING VOTES.

The gentlemen who were responsl- ble for the prosecution of the Sher- man bribery case appear to be dis couraged by their failure to obtain a verdict of guilty against MT. Barnes.

REV. BEN WYLAND
 ASKS SOME QUESTIONS
Brooklyn, N Y., Sept 29, 1911. Editor Of The .Rridgepprt Farmer:

Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept 29, 1911.
 Editor of The Bridgeport Farmer: Dear Sir-You very kindly made a correction in your paper some time ago. I ask the privilege of your
 space again. Since the acquittal of Mr George A. Barnes of sherman,
 charged with buying votes, I have come to the conclusion that what
 needs revision is the Bible instead of
 the political conditions of Connecti-
 cut. Some of the people who were so enthusiastic at the acquittal of MT
 Barnes were so well acquainted with |Nthe political conditions of Sherman
 that I do not wonder they were en-
 thusiastic. There are three facts in
 connection with that trial which l
 want to reveal to the public.
 First, why was there omitted from the second count of the indictment
 against Mr. Barnes the confession of John Landmark, that in the year, 1906
 MT. Barnes gave him money in Dea-
 con Hawley's store for his vote. MT.
 Pullman, the assistant of the prose cutting attorney, had charge of the in- dictment and after the conference
 with MT. Barnes lawyers in the spring this ceases to appear. Perhaps when
 he returns from the Maine woods his answer will be interesting or perhaps
 it may have been little clerical er- rOr
 In the second place, why is it that the two men who approached John Lundmark the States witness, and threatened and tried to get him to take back the testimony he gave against Barnes before the Sherman magistrate,-why is it that these two men have never been arrested for
 tampering with a States witness
 The penalty is severe, but why this delay? It seems as though there must have been something vital in
 John Landmarks testimony to have given rise to such efforts to suppress it. Furthermore, make this offer
 that will produce or point out these
 men who approached John Landmark if the State wants them. Further more, the corroborative evidence is al hand, IF the State wants it.
 The political machine of Connecticut should have for it's motto this revis- ion of the Bible: eff ye cannot serve God and mammon, hire a lawyer to prove that God is unconstitutional.' In closing, there is an additional thought in justice due MT. Stiles Jud- son, the prosecuting attorney, and Judge Shumway. The former demon strated his sincerity and the latter his impartiaHty.
 However, there remain the two facts set forth in this letter. Per- haps as I first suggested, the Bible for Connecticut should be revised in stead nf her political conditions. Sincerely,
 (REy.) BEN WYLAND. 333 HalSey Street

BLACK ROCK NOTES

As MT. Hydeberg of Wilson street, was doing some carpenter work in Bridgeport, and endeavoring to drive nail into the partition, his hammer glanced on the nail which hit him in the eye. It is doubtful if he will regain his sight in that eye for some time.
 The new store owned by M. B. Nc Namara, was opened recently.
 One cannot help but note the vast improvements that have been made in Black Rock during the last five years. Houses are being built up here and there, and are being rented in a surprisingly short time. The large Gilman estate is soon to be filled with new tenement houses, while some have already been put on what is known as the West Harbor Park estate.
 The new water system is being laid on Morehouse street for the new houses now nearing completion. These are owned by E. Duhigg, proprietor of the Duhigg Grocery Company, of Black Rock.

Aim of the Commissioners.

The result of the entire situation is
that there are laws which would set aside
the Commissioners idea Of following the
highway plan, and making the extension
in q line which starts at Bucha nan street
and falls off to the east, following Riggs
road. According to Commissioner Judson
the law knocks down one idea without
setting up another.
consequently the Commissioners want
to grasp the horns OF the dilemma ana
get bill through which Will provide Tor
condemning land to make an avenue
which will follow the hills and valleys OF
the section, rather than one which Will
shoot straight through high country, ne
cessitating much excavat1ng and grazing.
The Commissioners have incorporated IN
their explanation to Senator Gail1nger e1-
tracts from a publication called Town
Planning" by an English authority. II.
lingo Triggs.
one of these extracts reads:
I'm new streets slight curvation OF ln !.
a. is line will produce the happiest enects.
another one reads: Where a straight
street has to pursue its course Tor
considerable distance it is often, ADVISABLE
TO make q break in the line OF axis
Commissioner Judson's Reasons.
Commissioner Judson's reasons for moi
extending New Hampshire avenue north
ward in a straight line are substantially
these:
FIRST. the direct extension would involve
40 900 extra, cubic yards of grading at
cost of $4,000 and would require an over
head railroad crossing at cost OF $9O'OUV
Second cuts and fills would be neces
sary on the direct extension, and prop
erty would be left high in the air or deeI
in a hole along 5000 feet Of the proposed
avenue.
tending New Hampshire avenue in q
straight line through the region affected
as Kansas avenue will tap" the section
and will be close to the straight line or
which New Hampshire would run unde'
the plan SO forcibly opposed by the Com
missioners.
