Washington, Dec 8.-The United

beneath the waters of Havana harbor
lin February, 1898, as the result of an
explosion, was blown up from the out

disaster.

department is brief. Secretary Mey-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
s EverybOdy's Bible Question Box

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IuulTun7IGun1p
s EverybOdy's Bible Question Box 5
flrurunTu7TTnTuu
193-Does the Bible teach how
long man has been living on the
earth?
Answer.-The Bible does give
satisfactory answer to this question.
Scientists have INDUCED in much
speculation as to the lenght of time
man has been on earth. Their
guesses have ranged over wide
field. One celebrated GeOloeist
claims it has been fifty thousand
years since the first man was In
Egypt, while another names 25O,OOO
years since the man was on Euro
pean soil. In contrast with these
speculative theories we have the
clear and connected chain of Bible
chronology, which show that less
than seven thousand years have
elapsed since the creation of the
first man. The Bible is the Oldest
and most authentic history con-
corning man. 1t INDUCES in no
euesses, but clearly teaches that
Adam was the first man. 1t gives
it's own chronology, which is sub
divided as follow: From Adam to
the food 1856 years; from the flood
to Abraham APT years; from thence
to the exodus and the giving of the
law 430 years; from thence to the
division of Canaan As years; next
the period of the Judges 450 years;
the period Of the Kings 513 years;
period of desolation 70 years; from
thence to year A. D., 536 years;
from thence to A. D. 1911 makes a
total of 6,039 years since Adams
creation. This is the result shown
by the best Bible chronologists who
have written on the subject. Their
writings are Obtainable.

Young Man Missing
 But Boat Found
New Havener Starts on
 Night Row and Complete
 ly Disappears in Sound.

New Haven, Aug. 10-Launches and sail boats were out on the sound all last night looking for the body Or for some trace of Harry A. Schwartz of 61 Washington avenue, who went out from Malone's boat house at City Point in a rowboat about Il o'clock boat was found off Belle dock yester- and a single oar in it. It was right side up and the cap was dry, showing that the boat had not caps1zed.
 Schwartz was about p years of age and extremely popular. He was em- ployed as a window dresser for A. Mann at 786 Chapel street with whom he had worked for nine years. He had been. supporting his mother and four younger brothers and sisters for a number of years.
 He went to the Y. M. c. A. early Tuesday evening and there took a dip in the swimming pool, after which he returned and took a rub down. About Ii o'clock he left the house, saying that he was going out for little sail He went to Malone's boat house and took a rowboat, which he went out into the harbor with. He left his coat in the boat house and gave the inn pression that he was only going out for a brief trip.
 When he failed to return home about one o'clock yesterday morning, the members of his family became wor- ried and started a search. They failed to find any trace of him and finally reported the case to the police.

back. They do not hate the initia- tive and referendum now, which en- ables people to vote direct to the measure, more than they would have hated manhood suffrage in Jefferson s time. And let us not think too un- kindly of our tory friends. Were it not for them social change might come to pass by series of violent up- heavals, instead of by an evolution. They serve the useful purpose of & brake upon the social wheel. Theirs IS not the loftiest job, but it is a useful job and we should be grateful to them, although a little irritation IS Justifiable when the brake works so i'll that it is applied while the coach is moving up hill, as we'll as when it is moving down hill.

THE HERRING SYSTEM.

It would appear to any impartial observer as if Hon. Zalmon Goodseli had left little of the Herring sewer pIan available but the paper upon which it is written. He has shown that the system is not adapted to the needs of Bridgeport, that it implies a huge and unnecessary expense, only to be met by bonding. and that it is altogether unnecessary. It is safe to say that MT. GoodselPs views are al- ready those of majority of the peo- ple of Bridgeport, who will see to 1t that the Herring system is never in ficted upon them.. The people hold the power of the purse, especially since the principle of submitting bonding bills has been accepted. They will never authorize an expense to construct the four pumping stations and the other unnecessary and un- wieldy features of the Herring system. If there is anything that MT. Good sell has omitted of the reasons why the Herring system is not suitable to Bridgeport it will be found in MT. Herfng's own report, which to an in formed man furnishes sufficient con- demnation of the project.

DIETING THE PEOPLE.

In scanning the vote for direct primaries in the House it appears that the representa- of minority of the people of Connecticut have de- feated legislation strongly demanded by the majority of the people. The vote was 131 to 60 against the bill, but the SO represented the views of the people of Connecticut. The ma jority, as would have appeared upon a referendum of the primaries legis- lation. represented a minority so feeble that it would not be worth talking about.
 It should be borne in mind that the defeat of the direct primaries bill involved something more than mere hostility to this legislation The bill carrted referendum te tbA psople Unless a majority oE e-e electors should approve the legislation it could not become law.
 The offense that came into being with the defeat of the workingmen' s
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-10

compensa ton act was sufficiently aS- gravated as a denial of the governing right not simply of a majority but of the people, for those who do not favor such legislation are in point of numbers a negligible quantity.
 But the present offense is of more serious character.
 Representatives of a minority of the people have not only killed leg islation demanded by the people, but they have refused to let the people themselves pass directly upon the measure.
 In all the history of this state there probably has not been a more flag rant affront to the principles of pop ular government, or a more impudent Haunting of the people.
 The job was done in the name of the small towns, and under the spec ious pretense that the farmers of Connecticut were opposed to the leg isIation. But the attack upon the bill was led by men Git might almost be said by man), who are chiefly known to the people for their ardent desire to feather their own nests, for the facility which they bend their talents to the service of unwhole- some, predatory interests; such men as in a well ordered state would be tried for treason and subjected to the punishment of living for the term of their lives with others of their own kidney.
 The small towns of Connecticut are not opposed to workingmen's com pensation. Neither are the farmers of Connecticut, who were not subject to the bill. The small towns of Con- necticut are not opposed to direct primaries. Neither are the farmers of Connecticut. The farmers of Con- nectictu are as progressive as the farmers of any other state. It is the farming states of the union that hold the record for progressive legislation We predict great elimination of small town representatives in the next election. Those who misrepresented the people of the small towns of Connecticut and the farmers of Con- necticut will be conspicuous by their convenes.

pRosrRArED SHEARS EDITOR.

While the Scissors Editor of The Farmer was labsent-mindedly dream ing of green hills far away, while his Cosnic Self was frisking with butter cups and daisies, unmindful of the horrid grind of life in a newspaper New Haven Register to an editorial clipped from the New Haven Union, and passed it out to the hungry com positor who put it into type.
 Thus was the New Haven Register, through the columns of The Farmer, placed in the anomalous position of severely castigating itself. The Far mer was innocently guilty of the un- constitutional act of inflicting ''cruel and unusual punishment The edi- toria1 in tquestion referred in scathing terms to the stupidity of the critics of Mayor Willard Fisher, of Middle town, among whom the New Haven Register is the standard bearer. The Register was quoted as repeating un- kind comments about "hired editorial space writers" and papers never blessed with a consistent editorial policy all of which was hurled in the direction of the esteemed Regis ter itself. But if The Farmers apologies are due to the Register for this unintended excoriation, what shall it say to the New Haven Union? The scandalized surprise and honest indignation of The Farmers very highly esteemed Democratic contem- porary may we'll be imagined. The Scissors Editor is prostrated at the mental picture of the havoc wrecked by his minimizing deed

Troop A Aids in
 KrahI Search
Members of Organization go to Torrington to Seek
 Missing Salesman

New Haven, Aug. 10-Members of Troop A of this city searched the woods around Torrington yesterday af- ternoon for Adolph Krahl, the travel ing salesman, a member of the com pany, who has been missing since Aug. 1st Today the search will be contin- ued in the vicinity of Thomaston. The members of Troop A are taking an active part in the investigation to de- termine Krahl's whereabouts, and on Tuesday night held a special meeting to consider the matter.
 After hearing the report of the com mittee that went to TQrrington on Tuesday night the troop voted that it would be best not to go up to Torring- on and join in the search in a body, as was proposed. Five and six mem- bers have been taking part in the search each day however.
 It is reported that recently a man was taken into custody by the Tor rington police and severely grilled in connection with the matter. The man is said to have exhibited a big wad of money in Thomaston and it was thought he might have robbed Krahl When questioned, the man said that he didn't have any large amount of money although witnesses in Thomas ton claim otherwise This lead is to be investigated farther.
