What the Other Fellows Say

If there is anything in the world that upsets the household it is poorly cooked or slatternly prepared meals. Nothing on earth Is as refreshing after hard work as to be able to sit at the table whereon is spread a well-cooked and, for that reason, appetlzlng meal meal that has been placed on the table with the care that shows that those who prepared it had some pride in their work. Nothing is so upsetting as a poorly prepared meal placed on 0 table which looks as if everything had been thrown at it.-Hartford Post.

 Methods sometimes resorted to in the lobby are reprehensible to the limit, but the lobby itself is the right and refuge of the citizen and no more disrespect should attach to it than to the bar of any other court.-Hartford Courant..
 Senator Mahan's criticism of the republican majority for taking all the county offices in sight is much damaged by the fact that the democrats would do the same if thing if they had the chance. New Haven Journal Courier. We agree with our esteemed Hartford contemporary that Gov. Baldwin is wholly undemOcratic when he urges his proposed feminine aristocracy of voters-an aristocracy of wealth and most of it wealth not directly earned. but acquired through the probate courts, We agree with the Courant that the question of woman suffrage is really a vote for all women on an equality with men or none.-New Haven Union. It is supposed to be the intent of the law to make those who are not property owners pay a slight proportion of the cost of the local government under which they live and to which they contribute nothing, but ill practice it mostly works out to increase the burden of those who are already paying members. rs.-Bristol Press.

Letters From the People
Mr. Carter's Suggestions

Editor News In common 1 am sure, with many other readers of The News, I have read with much interest the vari- Ous articles bearing on the earlier history of Canaan and neighbOring towns, and it seems as though 1t might be favor able time for some one to undertake the preparation of an adequate history of the good old town of Canaan. It is evi- dent that there Is 8 general and wide spread interest in the subject and it IS also true that many now living who might be able to give much first hand information, may not be here to render that important service in later years.
 Certainly the author of such a work would be doing Il great service to the town as we'll as to later generations, and would receive lot of gratitude if not shekels for the labor involved.
 I was particularly interested in the notice of the "Old Mill" in Ellsworth given ill your. Sharon correspondence this week, as I found in the Sharon Land Records, Vol. vii, that one Asa Carter (who was of Sharon" as early as l771,) bought in 1774 one half of a grist mill situated on Highway leading from Nehemiah Chapman's to Kent. This Asa Carter was "of Pittstown, County of Albany" in 17S3. I don t suppose that this is the "Old Mill" re- ferred to, but would be glad to know if any of your readers can tell where the mill of Asa Garter was, and who he was.

THE FIRE PROBLEM

The annual meeting of the Canaan Fire District, last Saturday, produced results apparently somewhat negative.
 The matter of sewer exter sion was sat upon, for the time being, at least, and the fire protection proposition was not advanced to tho stage that might have been hoped for by the ultra progressive "booster" element, yet it was not killed outright and the situation is not hope less.
 As matter of fact, the fire protection question is now in something like defi- njte form. and gives tangible basis from which to proceed to negotiate a practical and mutually satisfactory agreement between the Fire District and the water company.
 The failure of the Board of Trade committee to present the estimate sub mitted to it by the water company, of $20 a year per hydrant for number of new hydants is explained by the fact that it was the unanimous opinion aof Cn6 COmmlJGS6 GnaG II Gn6 6S6lIndG6 ndu been brought up for 8 vote of the meet ing the whole proposition would have been promptly killed as dead as smelt.
 The resolution offered by MT. Reed, appropriating $100 a year for ten hy- drants, including the six now in com mission. is not altogether acceptable to the water company in the'form in which it passed, but it leaves the way open for the parties of both the first and second parts to get together and come to an agreement that will be mutually acceptable; and there is reason to believe that, in view of all the conditions, and the hazard that menaces the community Us long as these conditions exist, the parties will come together, make some concessions on either side, and relieve the situation, which, at present, is neither safe, sane nor credita ble for a live, progressive community.

r. s. Colds Portrait

Secretary J. O. FAnton of the state
 board of agriculture is asking that 300 farmers in the state give him Sl each to pay for portrait of Theodore s. Gold of Cornwall, for over thirty years secretary of the state board of agri. culture. The painting, by Professor J. H. Niemeyer of New Haven, is now in the Capitol, having been placed in the room given to the committee on agri- culture, about where Mir. Gold would wish it to be. It is surprising that MT. Fanton is compelled to ask for aid for this project, for in his generation, the state had no man more interested in the promotion of agriculture than T. s. Gold. For years he went from his Cream Hill farm through the rural towns of the state doing all man could to awaken his fellow farmers to a sense of the dignity and the profit of their calling. He spoke at grange meetings, at farmers institutes, at win ter meetings of the state board of agri- culture and to little groups of farmers gathered in dimly lighted and unvenu- lated halls or schoolhouses. The debt the farmers owe Mir. Gold is great and the tribute they are asked to give to his memory is small. Mir. Fanton's mail should bring hlm the necessary subscription in short time,

Rev. W. n. Mossman, of New Haven, in an interview states that he will fight the bill which has been presented by Senator Charles Mitchell of that city, which if passed, will force those object ing to the issuance of liquor license to file specific reasons. It further provides that copy of the charges m list be filed at once with the applicant know just what the charges against him are. Rev. MT. Mossman claims that this would be forcing the objectors to the license to show all their evidence.

The Short Weight Graft

Representative Aaron Johnson of Man. chester, addressed the Farmers Associa- tion at the capitol Thursday in reference to a pure food" bill which he recently introduced in the house. On exhibition were bottled and package goods, sold in all groceries, which he claimed are sold short of weight and measure.
 "The consumer has a right to know what he is buying" said MT. Johnson. "Fifteen or twenty years ago there were no packages short of weight in the market. Goods from France and Ger many are full weight and there is no reason why we should not receive the same treatment. In this country we are buying goods by carton, bottle or box, not by weight and measure. We are told that the goods so nicely done up are not touched by human hands. What are hands for? The best eatables we ever got came from the hands of our mothers. How many people read the advertising matter on package goods Very few, think"
 MT. Johnson exhibited a package of cereals on which were the words "ten to thirteen ounces" This statement, he said, is necessary under the federal pure food law, but the average house wife thinks she buying pound package. He had weighed bottle supposed to con- tain pound of olives and It was short of weight several ounces. He had asked a jobber why tho retailers put up with short weights and measures and the answer was:
 "The retailers are pack of fools"

good reason why it could not have adjourned finally, two months after it convened, with everything accomplished, that was acc ,mplished, making all due allowance for careful deliberatlon on important legislation, committee hear ings, etc, It has been suggested that the length of legislative session should be limited by law, and that the compen' sation of members be doubled and they be compelled to pay their own railroad fares. Such course might have the desired result, and it might not.

Col. osborn's Unspoken Speech

COI. OSOorn'S OnSpOken speech
 There will never again be water famine in Waterbury or anywhere else in Connecticut. Col. Norris G. Os- born of the New Haven Journal Courier has announced himself as the pro. prietor of a rainmaking machine. It is his masterly address on Journal ism" Nobody has ever heard the ad- dress but it must be masterly. It is certainly a rainmaker. Thirty-seven times i'll thirty seven years the colonel has been scheduled to deliver this ad- dress ill one of the New Haven churches. Thirty-seven rainstorms have resulted. The total rainfall in the thirty-seven storms has been 1889 inches, the largest amount purveyed by any single storm has been 5.7 inches and the least 8. 1 inches. Gan you beat that?
 The result has been that the audience has always consisted of the parson and the janitor and even when they were willing to listen, the colonel refused to deliver his address It is still waiting delivery. The colonel told this while toastmastering for the Connecticut Editorial association the other night, and knowing the colonel we must believe it.
 But why didn't the colonel threaten to deliver his address when the states tongue was hanging out last fall?- Waterbury Republican.

THE DALLYING LEGISLATURE

A prominent New Haven politician says the present legislature is one of the "sleepiest" we have had in several years, and he predicts, in an interview printed in the New Haven Union, that the session will "string along until the first or second week in August"
 It is not at all unlikely. The apparent eagerness of the statesmen at Hartford, in the early stage of the session, to expedite business and make it short but business like session, simply evoked a smile from those who have kept tabs on former legislatures. The general assembly of 1909 made the same bluff early in the game, and seemed anxious to get its work done up and out of the way, and go home before spring ended; yet it broke all records for laziness and length of session.
 The average legislative days work is a record of "sojering." There are all ways few members really desirous of expediting business, who endeavo1 to spur the body to honest work, but the great majority decline to respond. They enjoy the ride on the cars three times a week, at public expense, and are ready to adjourn an hour after the house or senate is in session. There is not a business man connected with the legislature who. if he were directly and financially interested in corporation conducted as the states business is conducted by the legislature, would not promptly fire nine-tenths of the employees and reorganize the entire system.
 The legislature of 1909 lasted practi cally eight months, and there was nc

LlFE'S LAMP.

Conscience is given us for lamp
 To light us on life's way; And we must keep 1t filled with oil, Or twill give out, some day. The oil of kindness and of truth,
 The wick must be of love; The light be kindled from the spark That cometh from above. And if we keep it brimming full,
 Our lamps all trimmed and bright Twill make of earth wonderland, And give us pure delight.
