lem Stnne.s Mild Man

The discovery that the Canaan wild man is an ex-newspaper reporter gives rise to the suspicion in some quarters that he is the famous wild man who was turned loose by Lou Stone nearly 20 years ago to terrorize the region about Winsted and bring all the war cores. pondents in New York hurrying to the scene.
 The Stone wild man is historic, For one thing he supplied the oAly known instance when Stone, who is nominally one of the editors of the Winsted Citi- zen, but whose real purpose in life is the writing of wonder stories for the New York papers, overstruck himself. Stone worked-as he still works on space-and he figured that wild man worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $l50. But he made such @ good wild man of him that the story got away from him. INwas too big for any one man. All the New York papers rushed up special writers, artists and literary spec ialiSts, whom Stone was forced to serve as guide, philosopher and friend with out much pay.
 The Winsted wild man began life properly by being first sighted by an eminently respectable and reliable citi- zen, one Hubby, seleotman. Next he stole Pat Danehey's jackass, rushing in- to the woods with the shrielsing animal under his arm before Danehey's alright cd eyes. He tackled the horse of ool- lege boy, home on vacation, and the col legian came racing into town with one stirrup missing and the marks still upon his horses Hanks to prove the story true. A cordon of citizens armed with shot guns and reyolvers swept the wood and George Eaton shot himself in the pants with barbed wire fence. At the first yell of terror from Eaton practically every firearm Ill the party was discharg- ed somewhere. The New York World said the creature must be giant baboon escaped from circus and the New York Sun said it was the Burbling Balderdash that roamed the Togly Wood. The only really accurate information came from the New York Recorder, which had picture (presumably supplied by Stone) showing tue wild man wearing hair on his shiubones and carrying terrible club.
 In the end the wild man and the war correspondents went away from there without anything very serious happen ing. Pat Danehey's jaokass was mira. oulouely restored to him and proper re- pairs wero made to George EAton's pants. StODe hung new motto over his desk by the Citizens Mad River win dow.

OPEN SUNDAY" PoPPYcock

There's a whole lot of poppycock on both sides of the agitation of "open Sunday" The purists, in arguing for a retention of the sacred Puritan Sab bath, are apparently blind to the fact that it is impossible to retain what .shas long since escaped; that the dismal Puri- tan Sunday, when smile was crime, has passed, just as public respect for the old blue laws has passed; that there is no such thing as Puritan Sabbath, just as there is no such thing as an original Plymouth Rock Puritan, nor such con- ditions of civilization as obtained in the days of the Salem witchcEaft. The Puritan idea of the Sabbath is habit ually disregarded and outraged, and even the surviving, though dead letter, laws applying to the Puritan Sabbath, are violated or ignored every Sunday, by upright, God-fearing, church going people. During the discussion of the "open Sunday bill to allow certain liberties in the way of business and pleasure on the Sabbath, ill the Iegisla. ture of 1909, Speaker Banks took the floor and made speech in favor of the bill, in which he said it was impossible for person, in this day and generation, to avoid being violator of the letter of the Sunday law as it stands on the stat ute books, and pleaded for liberaliza- tion of the law to conform to Twentieth century civilization. And it is a signifi- cant commentary on the operation of the legislative mind, that the bill, which was substantially like the one defeated overwhelmingly by the legislature of 1911, was passed by the legislature of 1909 and vetoed by Governor Weeks.
 But while there is DO serious disposition on, the part of the advocates of the open Sunday to charge its opponents with in- sincerity, the open-Sundayites are not permitted to escape that imputation. The chief argument in favor of the "lib- eralization'' of the Sabbath is that the welfare of the working people requires 1t; stress has been laid on the hardship inflicted upon the workingman and his family by the Sabbatical prohibition of the joys of life as found in baseball games, theatres, horse racing, and such like innocent and necessary recreations. Representative George B. Chandler, of Rocky Hill, who cannot be accused of being fanatic, punctured these preten- slons of sOlicitude for the interests of the working people. In strong speech in opposition he said that in the hearings on the bill, before the committee, he had seen the committed room crowded with politicians, sport promoters and others who would profit financially by the enactment'of wide e,open Sunday law, but not, a single, solitary workingman had appeared to plead for it the work ingman is satisfied to rest from his labors on Sunday, but finds no arbitrary ob
