equipped with rear rudder of twenty

THE FReE HUNTING DOG.

The free hunting dogs-the rowing hounds-sre the dogs that harass and kill sheep and worry the deer in all parts of New England. As it is pos sihle to check the nuisance it is sur prtsing that it has not been done here tofore The geme wardens of Vcr- mont have taken the matter in hand and they propose to employ strenuous measures to make an end of this bus mess
 The Rutland News. commenting up- on their action says:
 County Fish and Game Warden K. W. Hayward will have the moral sup port and encouragement of every law abiding and humane citizen in his efforts to put out of business every dog that chases deer. While it does not come within the province of the ganne wardens to summarily shoot dogs that chase sheep g. like vigorous cam poign against the worthless dogs should be made by the authorities. The sheep population of Vermont will be pretty apt to increase in about the ssmo proportion as the dog population decreases

MAKING POLITICS PROFITABLE.

It looks ss if the governor of Maine was in politics for what there is in 1t for him, since he permits the legis Iature to make his paper, The New Age, the state paper and throw to. it all the public patronage. The Port land Express says for a truth, If a republican governor had been the own CT of weekly newspaper of small circulation and the legislature had vot- ed that all state advertisement must be printed in this newspaper. what q howl of denunciation would have gone I'D from the democratic throats, What opprobrious terms would have been applied. and with some justice. For ons of the underlying principles of good government demands that a pub- He official shall receive no private in; come from his business relations with the public. This principle is illustrat- cd in our own city. where by a specific ordinance it is forbidden that mem bers of the city government or mem bers of any of the. administrative boards shall be parties to any con tract carrying with it financial gain from the city itself"

HOW Ir WOULD MAGNIFY THEM

The suggestion of the Bristol (Conn.) Press that the eleven favored repre- sentatives of the press who have been voted gratuities cover it back into the state treasury as tainted money, is a good one.
 Should the faber pushers see it in the right light, they would show that the type of manhood they represent fs the highest and the best. It is acts of this kind which make men shine be- fore their fellow men, when it is done voluntarily.
 It is to be said os The Courant that it did once upon a time order it's rep resentative to cover the $500 he re- ceived back into the treasury the moment tho fact of his having re- ceived it came to the managers at tention.
 These men do not sell out the papers they represent; they will repudiate the idea that they have sold themselves or are under the least obligations to the senators for the money; and under such circumstances the senators may claim 1t is Q reward of merit: but stoee their service to the general as- senbiy and the state is not superior to the service Of the men who have not bsen recognized or rewarded, how will the honorable senator's show the necessity fer or the justice of their conduct?
 K these eleven were equal to th~ Press suggestion. how proud the state of Connecticut would be of them.

Eneeuraaina erlah. Pupils.

Parents and educators everywhere will be interested in the experiment. now being tried in the Cincinnati pub He schools of establishing 9 class room for especially bright pupils. which would appear to be the logical accompaniment of the classroom for backward pupils. The proposition that it is unfair to hold back the apt or clever child in the ranks of the medi- a pace he cannot maintain appeals as reasonable and common sense.
 It will be argued with much force that the system which makes provis- ion for caring for the backward pupil cannot be justified without provision is made for accommodating the needs of those who can advance more rapid ly than the average. The proposition simply provides for the application to schooling of the plan that is generally adopted and followed in the business world. where wages scales, chances of promotion and all the advantages are based on t!lea ability of those employed to advance rapidly in one line or an other This has not been the rule in the schools where the system has been adjusted to meet the requirements of the average pupil, with special provis- ion made for those below the average.
 The net result of this system has been retardation, for which the pupils are not to blame. The Cincinnati edu- cators have decided that the old sys- the same educational pattern is un- satisfactory in general and particular ly unfair to the bright pupils, who are to be given special attention under a more sensible and equitable method.- St. Paul Pioneer Press.

April snow storms are no rarity in New England, and hefe in the extreme south We have them as often as once In seven years.
 o. the Sunday morning storm on April 9th. in his letter to the Spring field Republican, Frank Sanborn writes: This weeks snow storm, though inconvenient, can hardly be styled unseasonable: for about once in five years we have such April storms and they sometimes reach into May. I remember year when there was good sieighing on the 7th of April not far from Boston more by token that I gave friend sleighride on that very day.,
 In the last century there was one year so cold and snowy that ever since it, has been known as eighteen hun dred- d-an- starve- to death. because there were frosts and snow in nearly every month, the Boston Transcript notes. And further 1t says that about twenty five years later there was snow that blew into drifts on the 20th of May. and returned again on the 10th of the following October so, while recent phenomena may strike the pres ent generation as something unusual they by no means measure up to some of the well authenticated freakishness Of the past, and if, as many believe. the seasons are changing, it can hard ly be contended that they have yet begun to change for the worse.'.
 If New England doesn't get an '1s0o- to- death year" but once in a century, it can abide it with assur- ance that the climate is keeping up to standard and not growing worse.

FREE AMBULANCE.

A free ambulance is something ev- cry community municipally organized needs, whether it has Q hospital or not.
 Meriden has reached the stage where she says: ''The ambulance service was excellent. but if it was slow once in a year when needed, this is once too many times" which is true.
 It is a great truth that those who have not the price are the ones who need it most and the ones commuli- ty should pride itself upon serving promptly.
 "TIae Meriden hospital board did this,' says The Journal, "to prevent all future criticism" and doubtless to remove all future excuse for any de- lay whatever.
 Concerning it's hospital The Journal says: 9
 "Meriden has an excellent hospital with a superintendent and corps oi assistants second to none. while the institution itself is thoroughly up to date. The attending physicians are high grade men. Thus it can be seen that the patients get the best of care and have absolutely no cause for com plaint"
 The same may be said of our hos pital; but the who-pays delay of the ambulance on occasion continues to be . crying shame.
 The Bulletin hopes a way will be found some time to render prompt service to all hero in Norwich; for those who can pay will be glad. to dc so; and those who cannot are too pre- cious to be neglected.
