CHANGING THE FACE OF THE
 EETlIPMS

The republican registrar and the moderator of the First district of Meriden are charged with changing the count returned to them from the Third district. The Journal states the case editorislv. as follows:
 The Third district counters and moderator counted and accredited 372 votes in that district to George NJ Lucas as member of the school com mittee. IL is claimed that when this list was returned to the First district moderator Aubrey deliberately marked out these votes credited to Lucas and gave him none.
 The list of ballots counted and sworn to by the counters and moders tors is in duplicate One of these is Sled with the ballots and the other is returned to the First district modera- tor. These are supposed to agree, but hey certainly win not at this election through MT Aubrey's changes"
 Since no censors of the ballot are recognized in this country. and the law makes such conduct subject to a heavy penalty. it looks as if these daring individuals had gotten them selves into position to be made an example of. with no avenue of escape.
 If the case is correctly stated in The Journal. il is matter which the au- thori:ies cannot overlook. Throwing out candidates entire vote must be done in some other way than this. IL is case that should not be allowed 10 pass without attention.

NEW VISUAL SIGNALS,

The announcement of more depend able signals for passenger trains the past week, will be received with sIat- .fication by the travelling public
 Improvements over visual signals Tor safeguarding train movements on both steam and electric railways of he country, reported October Sd to the National Railway Signaling asso- citation, indicated that simple mech snism which will stop trains as well as make faces at the engineer will have the OK. of the signal experts as a means to protect the public
 The record Of the years train acci- dents added to the imperative demand for such an improvement, the wrecks by failure of train men to see or to obev signals flashed at them having grown to an appalling total. The recommendation of the board of ex- perts of the interstate commerce com mission. which was created to discover a practical automatic safety stop equipment has not yet been made but the details it has secured of the simplicity and low cost of the Collord- Rohe type. added to the certainty of its work in tests made, promise speedy action. The railroad officials who have interested themselves in other equip rneat are said to have attempted strenuously but unsuccessfully to sup press the plans. This type has proved successful, it is said in sutomat tically bringing steam and electric trains to a halt much more quickly than could be dsne hy the enginemen, but so smoothly that the stop was unneticed by passengers
 The signaling association agreed last year upon the technical requirements which must be met by automatic stops all of which now have been made. The hrst plans proposed for stopping trains sutoma ticsll- were So elaborate and costly that railroad executives be came prejudiced against the use of any such nechanisms. One which was given a service test hy the Burlington was so complicated that all it's parts cost fortune and vet usually failed 10 work when needed The successful meyhed, it is interesting to note, was extremely simple. effective and mex pensive.

ONE-DAY FAIRS,

The one-day, admission-f free fair of Iowa is great social success. It is not devised for making money, but just for exchanging agricultural ideas and having good time. The Des Meines Capital says of them:
 Tn Iowa great many successful one-day fairs have been held this year. In some cases those who were re- sponsible for the holding of the fair did not expect anyone to come from a greater distance than ten miles. They contemplated a neighborhood gathering and a neighborhood display of resources. These fairs are usually made up of an exhibit of fruits. Vege- ia bles and the cereals, also chickens, ducks, geese etc, including colts and calves, with few head of mature animals In the streets there are some amusements and in the after noon there are ball games.
 These neighborhood fairs are dis tinguished by sociability and picnic dinners They are an outgrowth of the kindly spirit of the people at the harvest home period of the year. No admission fees are charged. Never theless premiums are paid and the merchants and the stock growers of the community pay all expenses.
 Tn some counties a farmers insti- tute is held at the same time, with speeches and essays. It has been dis covered that the farmers and their wives would rather attend farmers institute in the delightful weather of the fall than in the extreme cold of the winter. We commend these one day fairs to the attention of our read CTS in the farming communities as something not expensive and some thing perfectly satisfactory

A Statement from MT. Root.

Mir. Editor: I wish to deny abso- lutely the charges made against me in your issue of Oct. 9th.
 The true facts are as follows: F. F. Bucklin, Mrs. Clara M BuckIin and myself entered into an agreement to purchase an option on certain tract of land situated in Jamaica, L. l., x. Y. in April, 1907, for a specified sum named, and. further, to make a second payment on July 24, 1907. upon which payment a deed of the property was to be made to us as our interest should appear
 The full amount of money received from the Burklins together with lny own share on first payment to secure 'option; was made as agreed and re- peated endeayofs were made personal lN by myself, also by Mr. Rucklin. te laise the necessary amount to meet the second payment due July 24, 1897 but owing to the panic conditiors at that time we were unable to raise the money. l therefore secured an ex- tension of time. which also expired without our meeting the nayrnent as agreed. We therefore forfeited our option to purchase, as well as the

NEW ENGLAND CLAIMS FIRST
 PLACE

From the office of the state board of agriculture of the commonw edith of Massachusetts comes the informa- tion that the New England states have run ur their flag, and will enter into agricultural competition with the northwest, the southwest, the middle west and the Pacific coast. On the subject of apples, corn. maple sugar, potatoes and tobacco, they will admit TO superiors, and have announced their intention of entering into the competition for the apple, corn and potato prizes at the American Land and Irrigation exposition. to be held in New York November to 12.
 We expect says J. Lewis Ellis worth. secretary of the state board of agriculture, ito show that New Eng land fruit is second to none in the country in attractiveness of appear ance, and first in quality and flavor. The apples will be in part the prize winning fruit from the New England fruit show. held in Boston the week previous to the New York land show, and in part carefully. selected fruit purchased especially for the New York exhibit.
 'rThe corn exhibit will be mainly of the flint varieties, the favorites of New England because of their short growing season and certainty of ma turing; and will be designed to show that attra ctive and well nnatured corn can he produced in New England. In addition we shall show statistics to prove that the record yields per acre, up to the present time, is held by these same varieties of flint corn, grown in New England.
 The potatoes will be the famous Maine potatoes from the Aroostook region. where the potato industry has caused land boom during the last few years that has sent prices for farm lands up to par with those obtained for any agricultural lands in the country, except that in bearing or chards. These potatoes lead the world in attractive appearance, fine quality and ready sale"

MUSICAL AUDIENCES NEED GULL
 TURF

But very small per cent. of the people who pa trenize high class musi- cal entertainments have sufficient abil- ity to interpret the work to tell where to put in the pleasing and inspiring applause: and, yet. the acauirement Of adequate knowledge to fully under stand the music is easy.
 Do you realize says Mir. R. H.. Schauff1er, in the Atlantic Monthly, that q few days pleasant browsing in any library would make you de- gently intelligent about music ?" and he adds that the best of natural lis- teners have to learn the science of their art," although "a few weeks of work that is more than half play will fit almost anybody to make a part of fifst-rate, trained audience that will inspire a performer or an orchestra.
 Even cultured Boston pleads guilty to q Jack of general musical knowledge and The Transcript says:
 Most of us have probably longed to know what good music is really about. It now appears that to accom- plish this wish we do not have to be born again, but only taught. This is an encourag ging idea, if we can only find a teacher.
 And in Boston, this winter, that problem is solved. The university ex- tension course in the appreciation and analysis of music from the point of view of the listener is going to render for a large number of people just that service. The necessary background of knowledge can be acquired and a vast increment of enjoyment secured for many years to come at trifling expense and with the advantage of the regular filling of two evenings a week with interesting work"

troublesome one beyond the duckpond To see the facts as they are, and to win if he can, but without cheating are distinguishing marks of the good sport
 And another mark is generosity. He can appreciate skill whether it works for him or against him. He is able courteously to appreciate an antago- hist An incident of a football game between the Carlisle kadians and an eastern college illustrates what I mean.
 One of the Indian backs got away with the ball and was tearing down the feld for the touchdown that meant victory. One man only stood between him and the coveted goalpposts. The Indian exerted his utmost power. but his opponent was even fleeter Near the goal the collegian made a slSilful tackle and h-ought down the runner. The usual pillng up of players took place. As the two lay together at the bottom of the heap, the white man became aware that hiS{ hand was be- ing shaken by his Indian opponent. who muttered in admiration Good tackle, good tackle.''
 If you know a paleface who sN.,u1d have shown a more ~entlemanly or more sportsmanlike spirit bring him forward. In the judgment of many. such q triumph of temper was d far greater victory than to have gotten the pisskin over the lire.
 He lost the sanle-no matter for that He kept his temper and swung his hat TO cneef the winner; a better way Than to lose his temper, and win the
 day.
