THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Filled with important facts of ac- complishment the presidents message to congress points out the value of the policy that has been adopted con- corning foreign relations and therein alone is sounded most conclusive ar guments for it's continuance. The re- establishment of the state department, the substitution of diplomacy for bull lets for reaching a better understand ing with other countries and in bring ing the republics to the south to realization of the real attitude of this country thereto, has had great effect in promoting the best relations and the stimulation in the foreign trade which is so important to the bus mess and manufacturing interests, and upon which the future of the country so deeply depends, The im- portance of presenting a united front in foreign affairs receives due empha- sis and he advocates, with no surprise that the non-partisan merit system be upheld in the diplomatic and con- sular service.
 Tn touching upon the settlement of various important questions with for eign countries and the fact that this is well favored among the eommer- cial nations of the world the need of extending legislationsto meet the var ious degrees of discrimination against American commerce and interests is urged and 1t is believed to be possible through graduated scale of duties, which would allow for better negotia- tions through the diplomatic corps. It is apparent that the foreign rela- tions and trade of the country must not be neglected. It Is a vital part of the great business plan of the gov- ernment and being placed on a high plane 1t should be maintained and kept growing. And it is an important word of timely advice which the pres ident drops relative to the Panama canal opening and opportunities when he says: 'The opening of the Panama canal will mark new era in our in ternational life and create new and world wide conditions, which win their vast correfations and conse- quences will obtain for hundreds of years to come. We must not wait for events to overtake us unawares." !" Each and every benefit which is to be obtained from the canal should be secured by this country and to be ob- tained 1t must be prepared for.

STONY BROOK RESERVOIR.

There are reasons for thanksgiving that the Stony Brook reservoir mat ter has at last been settled without going to greater expense. Could it have been accomplished at the start and prevented all the subsequent lit- igation it would have been much bet ter for all concerned, fact which is so often proved in matters of law. The settlement comes at time which Is ripe for realizing the benefit of the reservoir. The need of bonding the water there when it can be got ten and from now on during the win ter and early spring its value as a storage reservoir is going to be dem onstrated.
 For many years efforts have been made tos go to Stony Brook. Polit- ical and legal efforts were made to check 1t and resulted in long delays, a water famine and greater expense, but all obstacles now seem to be overcome. This will mean that Nor wich has finally done what so many other cities of Connecticut realize they must do. that is, constructed an- OlleI duAH4dly IesSl NolA "H0i0 0Ah -tAio full benefit of the rainfall can be held. With the expected results, and there is no reason for believing otherwise. Norwich will have water supply which will be unfailing for a long term of years. Though encountered with much expense through litigation 1t is gratifying that the entire ex- pense of the project will come within the appropriation of $320,000.

THE IMPEACHMENT CASE.

Unusual interest is attached to the trial of Judge Archibald by the sen ate sitting as a court of impeachment from the fact that it is a trial which rarely occurs, and also because the accused is an association justice of the commerce court. He is charged with high crimes and nfisdemeaners by the house of representatives, the deeds having been committed during the time he was judge and con- eerned a deal with the Pennsylvania railroad. This is the second trial of the kind in forty years and at the other verdict of acquittal was given when Judge Swayne of Florida was before the senate. There have been but few impeachment trials at all in the history of the country, the total number being eight and in only two were the accused found guilty. It is required that there shall be a two thirds vote of the senate to convict the accused, the charges being first heard by the house which refers them to the senate for the trial when found necessary.
 The house was practically unani- nous in bringing the impeachment charges following the investigation. The case has served to injure the court of which the accused is justice and its support has been denied after the new administration opens. It has therefore served to injure before the outcome is known, what was in no way concerned in the affair.

A Queer Clock.

Did you ever hear of cat clock If you were to go to China and want ed to know the time of day the boy you asked might say:
 Wait and I'll tell you"
 Away he runs to some miserable shanty and brings out a sleepy look ing cat and pushing up its eyelids as- Sure you that it was not noon yet.
 You wonder how cats eyes could tell him, but it is fact that the eyes of a cat always become marrow before Monday, so narrow as to look like a fine line up and down. After twelve o'clock the pupil will grow large again.
 Just look into your pussy's eyes and see if you can tell as the boys and girls do in China. Perhaps you can.

THE GIANTS OF EVERY DAY

Looking up from the picture book he was eagerly reading, Teddy exclaimed, ''Pd like to be Jack the Giant Killer and frighten all the old giants away!"
 The other children laughed heartily at Teddy's choice, and Bob remarked:
 There never was such a man, Ted. It's only foolish story, you know. There aren't any giants
 Teddy looked disappointed. This was taking away the charm from his book.
 There are giants, aren't there. Un- cle John?" he asked, throwing down his book and coming over to uncle's armchair.
 Uncle John laid aside his paper, and took the little fellow upon his knee.
 Giants, Teddy" he repeated grave ly. "Yes, my boy, there are a great many around us; and we have to learn to be good fighters if we do not wish to be overcome by them"
 Teddy beamed triumphantly, but the other children opened their eyes in wonder, and Alice asked:
 What do you mean, Uncle Jofan?"
 My dear Alice" he answered, there is one dreadful giant. named Intemper- anee, that is harder to conquer than any that the famous Jack ever van quished. And there is another, called Seihshness, terrible monster, with nine heads: and a third named Cruelty and fourth named Dishonesty, We might mention ever so many more" "Oh, that kind!" said Bob. T meant thers were 10 real giants

UNCLE JED' TALK TO THE WIDE
 AWAKES.

Look out when you are asked What you want for Christmas?" what answer you make.
 The difference between a little pig and a nice little boy is that the little pig wants everything in sight, and the nice little boy wants few things he may need
 A. thinking lad or 1assie knows that all children do not get nice presents, and fear few, very few, are total ly neglected, and more would be if Good Heart didn't think of them.
 Good Heart is fairy Uncle Jed be- Iiexes in. and no mystic wand is neees- sary to bring him out. Good Heart always prompts children to be kind and respectful to their parents and to be thoughtful of and generous to oth- CTS. Uncle Jed thinks Good Heart suggested to Santa Claus the Christ mas tree, which is an American fea- ture borrowed from Germany.
 The English children have Christ mas boxes instead of Christmas trees, and the children of Belgium hang up their shoes for Santa Claus to fill in stead of their stockings, and the Span ish children do not expect Santa Claus to come down the chimney, but hide their shoes in the shrubbery outside and find them filled with goodies in the morning.
 It was King Charles of England who made Christmas merry, and it was at a Christmas feast that he knighted a loin Of beef. and from that day to this slices cut from that part have been called "Sir Loin Steak"
 Good Heart is in Christmas in all countries, and this is why Christmas is a day of open hearts and open purses and open hands from the snow lands of the midnight sun to the fow- cry lands of the equator.
 So give attention to Good Heart and see that you become acquainted with it and it with you, for that is the way to know that it is more blessed to give than to receive"

TREATMENT oF CRIMINALS.

The treatment of criminals and the kind of punishment which they should receive as a means of deterring them, and others, from further commission of crime, and as a protection to so- ciety. came in for a large share of attention at the gathering of govern ors in Richmond. How best to handle criminals is a question which gives rise to numerous opinions even among authorities. With some 1t Is unques- tionably possible to bring about re- formation through giving the accused a chance to reclaim himself. In an- other, such leniency would only be an invitation to go back to his old game, as so many of them do after serving their sentences. Governor Baldwin plainly set forth his views when he declared for the restoration of the whipping post for certain crim- inals such as wife beaters and ster- ilization for others, the latter as the proper punishment for the crime which so terrorizes the south.
 Governor Baldwin appears to have little use for the sentimentality which is oyerworked in behalf of criminals the old time belief that spare the rod and spoil the child" still holds good and the best results are to be obtained thereby. It is subject to which he has given much thought and in the exercise of the plan he advo- cates he would require the use of reason and common sense. He would give to those who are inclined to com init crime the understanding that something besides Imprisonment awaits them and that justice demands serious punishment for serious of lenses. Certainly crime is increasing in a manner which needs some treat ment which will check it.

WHAT ELECTIONS SHOW,

Some important lessons are to be gathered from the municipal elections held this week in Maine and Massa- chusetts, in relation to the effective ness of the new party. They show that 1t is the old parties to which the voters are turning for the conduct Of city affairs, the progressive in- fuence being meagre and simply de- tracting from the strength of the par ty which they left.
 In Portland, Me, it was demon strated that those who rallied to the support of Roosevelt are not consid ering themselves outside the repub- lican party today. The Portland Ex- press-Advertiser says:
 "The. republican party in Maine is now and has been, the progressive party in the state. There is posi- lively nothing of good in the pro- gram sought to be enforced by the progressives, which the republicans have not already secured for the peo- pie of the state. There is positively no issue by which, now, the republi- can party in Maine can logically be divided, and, aside from the ambition  of MT. Roosevelt to be the only man who could be elected president for a third term, there has never been a ground for division in this state. The efforts of disappointed politicians to create a schism in the republican par ty that could only lead to permanent dominance of the real reactionaries In Maine, the democracy, is shown to be failure"
 What is being determined in Maine Is going to be proven true elsewhere as the voters themselves realize the situation. Indications of the falling away are apparent in all directions and 1t is not surprising that it is so The logical place for those voters all along has been the republican party and they are getting back to the fold

Well, they are fairly real giants, Bob. Did you ever try hard to fight one?"
 Bob looked sober.

 The three had formed a semi circle around Ted and Uncle John, and their bright faces were more thouehtfui than usual
 Little Ted looked perplexed. They were talking in riddles.
 Has everybody got a giant?" he ventured,
 The others laughed at this, but Uncle John answered kindly:
 I'm afraid so; Ted. Anyting that keeps us from doing good is our giana that we have to fight Have you one my little man?" The child's face flushed as he replied after moments hesitation: Yes; there are lots of them.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Justice and Love.

There is no justice without love.
 Justice consists in seeing clearly the truth of a matter, in drawing correct conclusions from the facts observed, and in dealing praise or blame, re- ward or punishment fairly to each person concerned. So then justice is first. clear seeing; second, accurate reasoning, and third, honest decision. Not one of these three functions is possible without love
 First, eyes cannot see nor ears Near except one loves. Hate or indifference destroys the perceptive faculty. One can know no person or thing enc does not love.
 Second, one cannot reason fairly without love. Logic unguided by affee- tion is worthless. The processes of the mind go astray at every step unless they be guided by this powerful in stinct. Those who best know the hu- man intellect know how faulty and utterly unreliable it is when it is cold. Third. any honest award, any satis- fla actory decision, is impossible without | love Loveless conclusions, rewards and punishments are unconvincing to fine judge himself, are irritating and debasing to the punished, and are hus initiating to those rewarded

The Convict Ship Success.

The Convict Ship Success.
 There is now visiting at our haFber a prison ship which is a specimen of the cruelty which once prevailed on the seven seas. On going through this boat one could easily see why the United States wanted her independ- ence from Great Britain.
 The ship lay fer long time at the bottom of the harbor at Sydney, Aus tralia, but was raised and sold to Capt. D. H. Smith. It is of a brown ish color outside and at one end are six very small windows, the very sight of which makes one shudder. The ship is unchanged to this day except that her human freight and their sufferings have been omitted. Aboard her are now shown in their original state all the airless dungeons, and Condemned cells, the whipping posts, the manaeles, the branding irons, the punishment balls, the leaden tipped cat O nine tails. the coffin bath and other inventions of mans brutality to his fellowmen
 The fee was 50 cents for grown peo- pie and half price for children, but now, through a request of Mayor Fletcher, the fee is 25 cents for all.
 Today the convict ship is an exhi- bition to educate and not 8 reality planned to punish, and we can all thank God for that.

 Dear Uncle Jed: will tell you about large Newfoundland dog and little girl.
 There was once a little girl named Helen who lived in Vermont She and her parents came to Ocean Beach to spend the summer. Helen had large Newfoundland dog so she brought him with her.
 She was at the seashore every day. One morning she went to see the tide come in. -. Hero, her dog, came too. While she was playing a large wave came and took her out. Then Hero heard her cries so he swan out and brought her on shore. AS the tide was coming in Helen would not be safe here very long. After Hero rested 8 while he carried her a little farther. Then he went to the house and back again, barking all the time.
 Bye and bye her. father saw the dog, so he thought something was go- ing on. He went with the dog and saw his child there, so took her home.
 After that the dog had a good bed to sleep in and good food. They would never part with the dog. They kept him until he died.
