COLONEL OSBORN TO SPEAK

The Board of Trade banquet committee are to be congratulated on having secured the consent of Colonel N. G.. Osborn, of New Haven, to speak at the annual dinner at The Garfield, Feb. B. Colonel Osborn is the best-known after dinner speaker in Connecticut, as we'll as one of the ablest and most influential journalists in New England. and his presence is eagerly sought, from far and near for banquets, conventions and gath erings of every kind where either after dinner speaking or more conventional oratory or argument is desired. He is , fomous not only for wit and eloquence but for genial good-fellowship that has made him the most popular citizen of Connecticut, and our Board of Trade is exceedingly fortunate in being able to get him to come here.

What the Other Fellows Say

The President believes that in the Canadian reciprocity business ne is only following the trend and call of public sentiment and he looks to that to bear him out in in the matter. He is undoubtedly right, and public senti- ment should manifest itself unmistak- ably in his support. Let Congress hear the call.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Some men who kick the loudest over the price of eggs can be seen most any night putting down $1.50 supper at some hotel and tipping the waiter the usual 10 per cent, not forgetting the man in the taxi.-Hartford Post.

THE FIRE DISTRICT MEETING

The action of the voters of the fire district, at the annual meeting to be held Saturday afternoon, on the impor- tant matters scheduled for consideration, especially the matter of fire protection, will doubtless determine to some extent bhe.coUrse to be pursued by the Board of Trade in it's future activities. It is understood that if the fire district votes to accept the proposition which will be submitted from the water company, to enlarge and extend it's water mains and install an adequate number of fire hy- drants at suitable spots, the Board of Trade will interest itself with the prob lem of organizing an efficient fire com pany. procuring apparatus and head quarters, and maintaining the same.
 Public spirited citizens have offered to contribute hberally toward such equip ment, and there is no reason to doubt that generous sum of money can be raised for the purpose of providing the necessary paraphernalia and equipping a fire company.
 The water company's proposition, as submitted to the Board of Trade com mittee, it is said, contemplates the in- stallation of the necessary >hydrants and the extension and enlargement of the mains, at price of $20 per year for each hydrant. There is likely to be some discussion on this item, and it is thought probable that definite action may not be taken at Saturdays meeting, but that the matter will be submitted to another committee and continued for future action.
 The chemical engine question is to be brought up, but whether any definite proposition will be submitted with ref erence to this feature is problematical. There are those who would prefer a chemical engine, as an immediate provi- sion against fire, especially if the hydrant proposition is not approved at once.
 The meeting should bring out a gen. eral expression of opinion and preference, and result in some definite, tangible result along along practical lines.

Letters From the People
Mir. Gillette Takes a Hand

Editor News: have been an inter ested reader of the controversy in your columns between "Liberal' and "Citi- zen" on the subject of the effect of the no-hcense vote on business in Canaan While there may not be much use ill continuing it, I am going to "butt in, '' if may be permitted, with a few obser- vations on the discussion,
 So far it seems to be a question of opinion rather than fact. "Liberal' says '"Tis" and "Citizen" says "'Taint. J Now who's "Liberal'' and who's "Citi- zen ?'' In matter of opinion it makes some difference as to the man behind the opinion. Consequently can but wish that Liberal" had had sufficiently the courage of his convictions to sign his in teresting letters. He says he is in a pos ition to know that no license has severely injured Canaan's business. Now it would make lot of difference with the credibility of his judgment if we knew the man, his real opportunity in know ing the situation and his degree of free dom from prejudice in the matter. I suppose that every mans judgment is influenced by his prejudices. If Estate my opinion you will know just how much allowance to make because of my know prejudice in favor of no-license. However I will say this, that before this discussion began and without any re- ference to the license matter I asked several of the business men about their holiday trade and every man I asked was thoroughly satisfied and some were very enthusiastic, claiming a decided increase over the year before. Since this discussion began have asked some

Written for The News. The Higher Life

 My wife for the altitudinous yearns; Her soul for the bountiful beautiful burns; No longer at home does she sit by the fire With me, for she's rising and keeps ris- ing higher. And it costs me pretty penny To keep her up there where the life is high. I tell you it's costly to yearn and to sigh For the ultimate ultum; so I keep on earning The wherewith to pay for high altitude yearning-
 The returns? I have never seen any, But I've seen the results of this trying to be A Higher Life Liver; felo-do-see. It has made of many a husband of those Who yearn for the altitudinous clothes That match the high yearning these women are after, It moves me to sighs when I think of hereafter;
