For you know that not single
name on that list has ever been
disgraced by the stripe CT a

a drop of mexican blood flows

a number Of the signers are ex-
Confederate soldiers, who so
glorious and gallantly defended
the stars and bars through four
years of a living hell, and you
know that goodly portion of
the signers are christian gentle
men that even you cannot APP
proach religiously, and all are
respected by, and respect law
and their neighbors, and they
demand that | as secretary ask
you to do them and your son JUS

a like manner that you offered
the correction, for charging
them as being either mexicans
or convicts. This would not have
happened, | am quite sure, if
you had of known that your son

it is strange how you and him,
eat three meals day together,

speak the same language, and
this one thing remained secret
from you, we cannot understand,
but hope that you can explain.

Letters From the People
Cupid's Strategy.

To The Editor of The News:
 Dear Sir How is this? 1t appears to me that Canaan has become the Gretna Green for the the East, for l learn by your paper that they are coming from PiCtsfieId, Boston and all over the New England States to be married. It was not this way when and my little "doxy" concluded to jump over the broomstlck. Let me tell you how 1t was at the time, 1871. Then the law was, girl had to be 21 years old ill Connecticut to be married withou5 her parents consent. In Massachusetts iG was IS years, and 1n New York state any age went, from 12 years to 99. My girl was twenty, but l did not desire trip to York State, and wished to be married at home, ln moth CTS house. We hved in small man slon just opposite the Housatonic rail- road camp meeting station.
 But let me tell you about getting my license. 1 went To get this at Falls Vii lage of Lee P, Dean, town clerk My girl being only twenty years of age and not knowing enough to lib little, he refused to give me license unless 1 brought her father or had his written consent. This did not intend to do, but what can stop a fellow when he Is taken with the marriage fever! Ger haps I should say fervor.) Mother s house was nearly on the line between North and South Canaan, and thought a license in the north part would an- swer my purpose so l nied me to Ga naan and got my license from Joe Peet, and to prove that dId not perjure my self to get it, 6 sister of my wife went along with me to get It, and when Joe asked the lady's age, she answered % years. Of course ne thought she was the party, and we we're married that same night, May 2, 1871, by the Rev. MT. Swallow. of South Canaan. l guess Lee P. Dean thought it was queer that 1 was~married the same day ne refused me license, but if he lives he may see this and learn just now 1t was. We went to keeping house in the Whiting Miner place, near the Point of ROCKS as you go down to Falls Village. This house used to be known as the J. Cowles Inn in the early days. IT l ever get married again will write and tell you all the particulars. a..

don't know where Colonel Osborn gets his authority for "meesemen." but we admit that he doesn't have to have au- thority, in this particular mouthful of etymology. The bull moose plural is a public ownership fiddle. on which every moosician plays any tune he likes. Editor Phil Troup. of the Union, who plays on it occasionally for his own ''moosement, executes the plural thus: ''Moosers. This rendition may not be justified by precedent, but it is we'll known that Editor Troup would rather be right, any time, than precedent, and that's why we are inclined to favor "moosers, in the absence of any posi- tive, final, anointed, consecrated author ity on the subject.

SUPPoSING.

Expatiating on the interesting ques- tion. What will happen if neither Taft, Wilson nor Roosevelt gets majority in the electoral college? A writer in the New York Tribune says:
 "Wilson probably will carry all of the southern states, with perhaps a few northern ones. Roosevelt may carry most of the western states, and if Taft carries three or four of the eastern states there will be no election result. The Twelfth Amendment of the constitution of the United States provides that the successful candidate must get a majority of the electoral college Ca plurality will nor>do) or the House of Representatives must elect the President: and in their selection each state has only one vote. no matter how many members of Con- gress it may have. The House of Re presentatives as at present constituted may not be able to agree by a majority vote, so that the Vice President, the Hon. James s. Sherman, would become the next President by virtue of his office If no President were chosen by the House of Representatives before Marct 4, and Vice President was chosen bJ the Senate before that date, the latter would qualify after March 4 as Presi dent. MT. Sherman would probably figure in the equation as 6 candidate fol the Vice Presidency to be voted upon il the Senate, but he would not figure il it in his present capacity as Vice Presi dent"
