MorriStoWn in the Civil War

Morristown sent 172 men to the Civi
War, score of whom received commits
sons. Thirteen of the entire NUN Der
died either in battle or from wounds re
ceived under fire, making the ratio of
deaths due directly to active service 70
to the 1000. The record for the entire
Union army is less than half this ratio,
being 1897 in each 1000.
OF the l72 men 80 died from all causes
this being Sc to the 1,0O0 against the
record for the entire northern army of
123 II deaths to each 1000 men from all
causes. While 140 men returned to Nor
rstown at the close of the war, diseases
arising from the exposure or from ex
periences in the prison pens of the South
caused the untimely death of many who
saw service in different engagements
There were few battles in which Nor
ristown volunteers did not see service.

It is not presumable that any one desires to prohibit citizens from inn pressing their views in a legitimate manner upon members of the Gen. eral Assembly, or to stigmatize them as lobbyists" But there may be more than one kind of lobbyist. The kind which is objectionable, is made up of men who control, through political or corporate machines, strings of legislators. and who do not even attempt to promote their cases by presentation of facts and argu- ments but rely wholly upon the coer- cive power of the interests they rep resent.
 It may be found difficult to draw a strict line of demarcation between proper and improper methods of in fuencing legislators. If so, the citi- zen who Hobbies legitimately must ac- cept the designation of lobbyist as the price of labelling those who work through improper means and use methods.

WILL ABOLISH HIGH SCHOOL
 FRATERNITIES
New York Superintendents Call on Board of Education to Lead in Nation Wide
 Movement
Say They Foster Cliques,
 Work Injury to Purils' Character and Engender
 Undemocratic Spirit.

New York, Feb. 8-What may de- velop into Nationwide movement on the part of school authorities to abol- ish Greek letter fraternities and soror- ities in the High schools has been started by a recommendation made to the Board of Education in this city by the Board of Superintendents, fa- voring the abolition of such secret or ganizations in the local high schools.
 The recommendation, made on the basis of questionnaires sent to School Superintendents of twenty-seven of the chief cities of the country, all but one of whom expressed himself in disap- proval of the secret societies, charges that such fraternitieS in high schools are harmful, in that they foster an undemocratic spirit, lead to excesseS and the formation of vicious habits, and to the organization of cliques to control school affairs. Above all fra ternities in the H-gl -aSools are con- demned as encouraging an unwnole- some spirit of secrecy among adoles- cents at time of life when it is most necessary that there shall be the frankest and mest unreserved conIi- dence between parent and child.
 It was pointed out yesterday that if the Board of Education adopts the re- olution against frateru' ties in the High schools. as it apparently intends to do. school authorities in other cit es throughout the country will soon fol- low it's lead, as they are wont to do in matters of school administration and reform

LORD DECIES ANGRY
One of Curious Mob Asked How an Old Chap Like Him Could Win Such g. Pretty Girl.
Especial from United Press. )

New York, Feb. S-The attitude of the New York public toward his we'd ding to IS years old Vivien Gould threw Lord Decies somewhat off his balance yesterday afternoon. He caught a glimpse of the crowd waiting near St. Bartholomew's church as he went to his hotel to prepare for the ceremony and it angered him.
 ''I think the fuss most astonishing
 he said. "Why one chap had the cheek to ask me how an old fellow like me could win such a pretty girl. Old begad-I was so angry I don't remen- Der what I said,' and his Lordship threw out his chest and squared his shoulders DO you know I think it's sort of below-stairs attitude on the part of the American public that m rakes 'em show such cur osity. It's the state of mind of Liza, the servant girl who reads tuppenny novels about Lord Algernon and Lady Amerle, in her holf hours. Mind you, when l say that I don't mean it as a criti- cism of America. Oh, dear. no. have too many dear friends here but it strikes me that it is the explanation of this rid culous curiosity.

WAS TT TOO BIG A cHAw"a

The board of Aldermen tabled Moh- day night the Goodsell project of an issue of s2o0.ooo of bonds for the construction of trunk sewers. This action may be interpreted either as rejection or postponement. If II means rejection, then possibly the $500. 900 project was deemed too big a "chaw" for the present time when protects involving as much or more for a new High school and half as much for a new trolley bridge on East Washington avenue are pending. Why not, such being the fact, divide the Goodsell project into its constitu- ent parts and adopt one of them, leav- ing the others for the future?
 For instance. why not abandon the proposed 15 inch sewer through Dew ey street and Brooklawn avenue, which would be . more make-shift' and order, instead, the construction of such a trunk sewer as that grow ing section will soon demand? The part of the IS inch sewer in Brook lawn avenue. will be partly for the benefit of a section of the town of Fairfield. which is not yet, and may not be. annexed to this city, and part ly for the benefit of as yet unsettled land on the east side of the avenue. It win not be large enough to more than suffice the needs of these two tracts when settled, and will afford no accommodations for laterals through those tracts or for the terri- tory beyond them. Then, this 15 inch sewer would necessarily be replaced by the trunk sewer which should now be constructed, and the cost of the former lost.
 The Is inch make-shift is now be- fore the board of Apportionment for the necessary appropriation. In our the amount approximately $15,o00. would be practically thrown away. It is a case in which a larger expenditure would be the better economy. There has been too much of the make-shift policy in connec- ton with Bridgeports sewer system too many small sewers which must be dug up for replacement with larger ones adapted to the needs of an increasing population.

As was expected, the Democratic members of the House have unani- mously endorsed the reciprocity agreement with Canada. They could not have done otherwise with any degree of consistency, for the agree ment is in line with Democratic prin- ciples though not carrying them into full effect.
 This action by the Democratic cau- GUS makes a somewhat novel situa- ton. It brings the party into support of a measure urged by a Republican Administration, which measure is, at the same time. antagonized by a probable majority of the Administra- tion party in Congress, particularly In the Senate. There are, however, Q few regulars. among them MT. Hill of this district, who, support the reciprocity agreement. How the Re- publican Progressives in the Senate stand. is not yet definitely established. If they, with the Democratic Sena- tors, support the agreement. the agreement may pass Congress, if t reaches final action during the few and crowded remaining weeks of the session.
 In the event of such final action not being reached, the fact that the House Democrats have developed un- animity in support of the agreement. may induce the President to call an extra session.

HUNTING PERMITS BY
 FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS.

The question of game-hunting has always been a very interesting one to the. farmers. They have often found fault with the methods of the hunt CTS who have trampled their grain crops, damaged their fences and sometimes shot poultry in default of game. Fire wardens have also com plained that hunters start forest fires by throwing partly burned matches into the brush. The preventive in the control of the farmers is the posting privilege. but it is not al- ways effective.
 In letter to the Hartford Courant, Amiel Bahee of Collinsville makes a suggestion which seems to possess merit. though somewhat difficult of full accomplishment. Promising that the State issues hunting licenses but owns only 1900 acres which it posts" against trespassers. MT. Bahee sug- gests:
 If the landowners of the towns of the state get together, each town by itself and form a stock company. each landowner take as many shares stance, A owns 50 acres, he holds so shares B has 300 acres, he holds 300 shares1 your land is your capital. Get every acre of land in the town in the corporation. lay it out in sections, a days hunting in each section; sell the hunting rights You have been giv- ing them away for hundreds of years Ii is about time you got something for them.
 Elect your officers for the corpora tion, put 1t on a business basis, have your secretary issue permits to hunt each hunter and the same for his dog for each section. Put on a watchman to take the permits of each hunter and to keep on poachers. You can are thousands of hunters in the state who. if they can hunt with permits. will be willing to- pay for them as they .ll have better chance to get some game There will not be as much hunting and the game will in- crease rapidly. At the end of the season you should have money enough to pay your watchman and have a good surplus besides. The game laws have been juggled with so much that people have forgot that the farmer owned anything. In reality he owns the whole thing if he can only be made to see it. The hunting rights of the landholder can be made one of his most valuable assets. With a little organized effort on the part of the landowners they can get good income where they now get nothing.
 MT. Bahee's suggestion is eminent ly practical and would apparently work as much to the advantage of the hunter as to that of the farmer Some exertion would be necessary to erward they would progress very nearly upon the momentum acquired at the stnrt
