Another on Teddy.

It is not often good story of national interest comes out of the Washington police court. Some time ago a colored preacher was awaiting his turn to tes- tify in Judge Kimball's courtroom, and while waiting he told of dream he had had:
 "Ah dreamed An was in heaven the other night. As An stood just inside the golden gate, dar came a rap, and George Washington was announced by St. Peter.
 "'Let him come up an sit on nah right side. said the good Lawd, who was sittin' on de throne.
 Pretty soon there wuz another knock, an Abraham Linkan was an- nounced by St. Peter.
 "'Let him come up an sit on mah left side. said the Lawd.
 "Den An heard a terrible knockin' at de gate, an de angels all trembled.
 "St. Peter opened the gate carefully an den he turned roun' an sed to de Lawd, You Il have to get down an give him your seat, Lawd. It's MT. Roose- velt '"-Exchange.

THE "coAL CRAB"

The announcement that there is to be a jump in the pr1ce of coal as result of the coal strike settlement, was not unexpected. The public was bound to 'spay the freight, '' whichever way the disagreement was settled. And incl. dentally, as usual, the "barons" pile on an extra figure to make profit on the atrike itself. The Boston Post editori- ally deals with this phase of the matter, thuswise, under the heading, "The Goal Grab:"
 'The coal barons have decided to make the usual June discount of 30 cents ton for anthracite this year. But-they have also decided to advance the prices on domestic sizes of anthra- cite 90 cents ton on account of the in- crease of wages to miners and various alleged greater expenses. That means that the public is actually charged % cents more ton than is customary at this time. In other words. consumers must pay the increase in the miners wages, which amounts to less than three cents per ton cost, nine times over. Is it not about time that this conspiracy to rob the public get the attention it de- serves from the legal department of the United States governmental" ... ~.
 The suggestion doubtless is well meant, but in the light of experience it is difficult to see where any benefit would result to the dear public, from government prosecution. The trusts laugh at government prosecutions and manifest their contempt by lacking prices still higher. And the more stren- uous the prosecution, the higher the lacking. While everything is going up, to point higher than ever before. it will be difficult to make the ultimate consumer believe government prosecu- tion has any power to territy the malefactors. The trust ruster is cOl- 1apsed scarecrow.

WOW !

It Is not articularly creditahle to the community that the four. corpered polit- ical boom launched in the interest of the editor of this paper last week has aroused more heartfelt sympathy ill other parts of the state than right here at home. The state press is wildly en- thusiastic oyer the boom referred to, for representative, first selectman, justice of the peace and town clerk-and the state press reflects the most accurate judg- ment, the safest, sanest and soberest sense and the loftiest intelligence of the commonwealth. The state press is not addicted to the habit of making mis- takes. It has no doubt about the things that it knows. There are no flies on the state press. And it's verdict in the present instance is all wool and yard wide. We quote briefly from lengthy and solemn editorial in the New Haven Journal Courier, written by Colonel N. G. Osborn, whose utterances have always commanded the respectful at- tention of the thinking element of Canaan's population:
 "In these days of fiighty political al. 1egiance, we desire at once to endorse and support the quadruple candidacy of Editor John Kodemeyer of the Connec- ticut Western News. The announce. ment he has made Jo his people through the columns of his excellent newspaper possesses all of the charms of naivete, self sacrifice and consecrat1on to duty. What could be more direct than thus : @The editor of this paper has decided to run for some offices, not a paltry one office, but some offices It is splen- did. * Enough. John Rodemeyer's hat is in the ring and we are by the ring side to stay until the four coveted offices are his. We know Canaan and we be- 1ieve in Canaan. Canaan has sense and sand. It will, as surely as that God made little red apples, give Editor John the chance to serve it in the four offices 90 modestly referred to by himself. There is yet truth in the old saying that you can't sell clans unless you shriek in the highways. Wow"
 If, in the face of this distinguished expression of confidence in Canaan's t1sense and sand," our people still refuse

Letters From the People
Harris on Mothers.
To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 My answer to the drowning question that appeared in your paper some time ago, is this It would be mother every time that I would try to save. first choice. I would not have to stop and consider one instant, for i'll all this world, there is not one that ever did or cauld take mothers place, our dearest and best friend we shall ever know, ill sickness, trouble or misfortune. Who could take her place? We may have a sister that we love and appreciate very much. We can get sweethearts in plenty we may get wife, and she may or she may not prove to be our best friend. The Bible tells us man should desert hIs father and mother and cling to his wife, but know that I would re- fuse this mandate.
 When 1 was boy mother and 1 were very good friends and chums, but 1 might have done more for her comfort and happiness, and now that 1 am an old man regret that l did not do more to brighten her life. We do not, any of us, love or prize our mothers half as much as we should 1 guarantee if the Harry Thaw's mother, is alive, that they are mourning and praying for their erring boys every night.
 Words fail me to say all I would in praise of our dear. trusting, patient, faithful, God blessed mothers. Let every boy that may read this, love and cherish his mother all he can, and that is not half what she deserves. If we lose wife or sweetheart, we can get another, but we can never replace our dear mothers.
 Very sincerely,
 'OHAS A. HARRIS.

GREAT HEARTS.
BY EMMA RODEMEYER WAIT

This world is full of great hearts, Perhaps hidden from our view, But in life's constant battle
 They are striving to be true. Against each days temptation
 They are fighting valiantly, And although ears may not hear them, Still they sing of victory. They're scattered all about us,
 And in every time of need They're ready to defend us,
 Proving they are great indeed.
