Letters From the People
Harris Sees The Hudson.
Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Dear Sir:-Let me tell your readers about an excursion I attended many years ago. lived in Canaan at the time. on the line of the Connecticut Western Railroad. It was this way: This road was built only a short time when the managers pulled off this excursion to advertise the road and give the people chance to have good time, and you may be sure we improved 1t. The day was fine and lovely when this train pulled out of Canaan. It started from Hartford and went across the state to Rhinecliff on the Hudson river. This train consisted of g coaches and it re- quired the use of two locomotives to haul this long train, that was crowded before we arrived at Rhinecliff, where they had a steamboat chartered for our ride of 60 miles down the river and re- turn. l did not have much time here to take in the sights-our time was so short, but this l remember there was some fine plum orchards here, and they were ripe, big, red, yellow, blue ones, and you may be sure that we sampled some of this tempting fruit-yum- yum it seems as if I could taste them yet. We'll, we had to hustle aboard the steamer. The boat was decorated with flags and streamers There was a band aboard for dancing, and sport of all kinds. We were a large and joyous party as we started out of Rhinecliff to glide down this beautiful river-by some it is called the Rhine of America. l was much interested 1n the scenery and it was just grand. My pen is too feeble to do it justice. We could see the trains running on both sides of us, the Hudson River railroad on one side and the West Shore on the other. These roads run parallel with the river for a long distance. The land rising up on the west side was dotted with many fine hop orchards and vineyards. Along the shore were many handsome residences, which. with their fine lawns, parks, and driveways studded with many trees, vines and flowers, must be seen to be appreciated and once seen it will always be remembered. We saw all kinds of water craft on this trip. Some of them would cheer us as we passed. I remem- Der one that was called house boat. A family was living on it. I saw lady hanging clothes on line, and children were playing about the deck. We re- turned to Rhinecliff, hustled aboard the train for home, where we arrived about midnight, tired and sleepy But we could say that we had swell time.

THE NORFOLK CLUB

Our neighboring town of Norfolk, which excels in other things as we'll as in some things, IS not great way be- hind some of the foremost communities in the matter of civic organization and the inculcation of civic pride. The Nor folk Club, an organization of Norfolk s business and professional men, combines the enjoyable element of opportunity for social and neighborly intercourse with the practical usefulness of regu- larly constituted business mems associa. tion, and through discussion, co-opera- tion and patriotic effort, is enabled, with out brag, blusted or flourish of trumpets, to accomplish much for the advance ment and material benefit of the beauti- ful oll. town. It is an institution of value to the community it's purposes and achievements are in every way com mendable, it's environment and atmos- phere delightful, and it's hospitality royal.

Not Enough Lifeboats

Great calamities like the wreck of the Titanic always furnish their lessons. World progress tothis date has ever been marked by the sacrifice of human life that the future might be safer. And so it is out of the greatest marine tragedy known will come the warning, that we have paid the penalty for listening to theorists. The risk was not so great, the chances were extremely few, but when the one in million did come it was bound to be appalling.
 The grave situation disclosed by this disaster is that the giant vessels made their dashes across the ocean carrying only sufficient life boats to save from one half to one. fourth of those who may be on board The Titanic could by crowding carry probably $500 persons. And yet she had only boats enough to save about one fourth of this number
 The reason for this scarcity is explain ed by the ideas of the theoretic design CTS that such vessel was unsuitable, or that she at least could remain above the surface of the water long enough to save all who might be on her. The grave error of this calculation is now disclosed to the world and the nations will all be neglectful of their duties to their citizens if they allow such a theory to be any longer exploited. No matter what the expense, no matter how much dividends may be reduced, no great ves- sell of this character should be allowed to go from or come to our shores unless she is provided with enough boats to carry every soul who IS on board. That ought to be the terribly bought lesson of the Titanic tragedy.-Bridgepo Post.

Pooling the Law

Nelson Morris. son of the Chicago packer and & freshman at Harvard, was arrested in Providence the other day for speeding his automobile. An officer ac- companied him to the baseball grounds, where he purchased six tickets left the members of his party, and went to police headquarters. A hearing was arranged for o'clock. So the young man and o1icer returned to the ball grounds, saw the game, and then returned to the station. Such sort of punishment for this type of smart young Alecks is about as effective as pouring water through 8 sieve. These prospective young million aires are by this sort of treatment led to believe that money will drag them out of the tightest squeeze of every name and nature. It isn't apparent why such leniency should have been shown this youth. An ordinary chauffeur would probably have been denied the luxury of speedy hearing. As long as fines are administered instead of'jalI sentences, just so long will the speed maniacs con- tinue their fiendish work.-Meriden Journal

WHAT'S THE MATTER

In the spring the young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of getting mar ried and settling down. If he lives with in a radius of twenty miles of Canaan sometimes more, sometimes less-nat- urally he comes hitherward with his doxie, to have the knot tied by either 8 Justice or clergyman doing business in this favored land of promise.
 Which is all right and proper.
 The land that flows with milk and honey and one thing and another is an eminently desirable port from which to launch the matrimonial bark upon the troubled sea of what-you-may- -call-it.
 This fact is realized and appreciated by those who live upon it's borders and beyond, as is proved by the records kept by our local clergymen and Justice Ford.
 Hardly week elapses without cou- pie of couples or more from the region round about, flying hither on the wings of love, to be coupled up.
 Cupid is plainly doing a land, office business all around us, but for some req son the little dimpled rascal with the bow and arrow finds nothing doing right here in the metropolis of Litchfsld County,
 Business in his line is, lon the blink, 1" as the saying goes-and this is Leap Year, too.
 Whats the matter?
 Not Canaan marriage has been re- corded in Canaan since-goodness knows when.
 We would respectfully call the attsn- tion of the Canaan Business Mems Asso- oiation to this lamentable state of af. fairs.
 Something ought to be done about it..

What the Other Fellows Say.

The methods and manners which Col. onel Theodore Roosevelt Is exhibiting on the stump this spring forcibly recall to mind the late General Benjamin F. Butler of fMassachusetts.-H Cour- ant.
 "Enquirer" is informed that the new distress, s. o. s. Save our souls) is now used in place of the old signal C. O. D. Come quickly; danger), as the new cabalistic letters are muchlessl likely to be confused with other wireless signals, and there is nothing else like this message for help in all the Morse language New Haven Journal-Courier.
 Both of the Wright brothers are modest, unassuming, democratic Ameri- cans, and the honors heaped upon them by the people and governments of the United States and other nations have not gone to their heads. In fact, they wear the same size hats as in the old days when they were "crazy cranks," and the objects. of the good-natured ridicule of their Dayton neighbors. s.-Bridgepor Farmer.
 No marine disaster in modern times has created so much sadness and sorrow as that of-the great steamer Titanic. All the conditions-her size, her first voyage, her incompatible equipment-madeh her the center, for the time, of public inter est and the cala l.ity is simply appalling. Bridgeport Standard.
 Yes! the Illinois result so far as Clark and Wilson are concerned seems to have been an isolated phenomenon; so far as Taft and Roosevelt are involved it seems to have been symptomatic.-New Haven Union.
 Seems funny to hear of "General" Coxey suing for money. Itdoesn't seem so long ago that he was berating all per sons for whom money had the slightest attraction and now here he is suing to re- cover $I7ooo for mining stock which he says is worthless. .-Hartford Post.
 Billy Sunday picked up $I,7oo in Wheeling, West Virginia, recently. Bas e. ball doesn't hold a candle to religion when one gets in the latter game right. -Pittsgeld Eagle,
 Thanks to little episode in a Wash ington hotel the other day we have the pretty exact size of Marcus Aurelius Smith, one of the new Senators from the new state of Arizona. Because a color ed elevator boy refused to disobey hotel rule Marcus Aurelius smotc the lad in face and did other unscemly things Nice, dignifed, gentlemanly conduct for United States Senator.-Bristol Press.

From the present outlook, the engi- neers won't strike. Nevertheless, set clement by the pending arbitration will doubtless involve an increase of pay. which will mean an increase of freight rates on everything earned by the rail roads :; which will mean an increase in the price of everything you have to buy, from 8 red herring to a scuttle of coal ; which will mean that, as usual, the in creased cost of living will be jacked up another notch for that long suffering old goat, the dear pnblic.

banking system was signed by every member of the Commission. Democrat and Republican, shows that the work of the Commissioners and their conclu- sions were entirely bipartisan. The bill prepared by the Commission is the result of nearly four years of expert in- vestigatlon, and it certainly deserves serious consideration of Congress and the country. The bill may not be in all respects just what this country needs and requires, but the mere opposition to it by demagogues does not prove that fact. What the people want is full and free discussion of the entire subject, Send to your congressman for copy of the Commissions s report.

The Spring Tonic

Here is practical schedule that should not be difficult for any one to follow:
 Halve the food.
 Double the drinking water, and do not have it ice cold.
 Quadruple the consumption of fresh air and laughter.
 If you are mentally active person in- clude large amount of ripe fruit and nuts in you diet. Eat little meat, and cereals but seldom.
 If your energies are equally divided between mental and physical labor, you should use fruit and vegetables, and more nuts and cereals, than the purely mentally employed.
 The physically active individuals should select diet that is varied and tempting alike, a combination of the above.

WHO KNOWS :?
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Who knows why the roses must wither,
 And why sweetest flowers must fade Who knows why the hopes fondlY cherished Are always the longest delayed Who knows why the hearts dearest fancies Evade us through long weary years; Why eyes that with love-light were gleaming So often grow dim with life's tears ? Who knows why the prizes before us
 Elude cen our uttermost grasp, And though we press eagerly forward
 Our hands disappointments do clasp? Who knows :? An it's not ours to question, But each to do our very best, Secure that God ruleth in justice,
 So, safe in His keeping, rest
