Connecticut and the Presidency

Connecticut and the Presidency
 Hon. Simeon Eben Baldwin does not grudge to Connecticut the honor of hay ing produced him. He is typical of the best of this noble state, and that is very good. Theresore when mention of his name is made i'll connection with the presidential nomination, the discussion which follows is serious.
 Connecticut, in these latter years of the fast growing west, has been carefully taught to occupy the position of the "it tie one" which must be seen and not heard" Therefore Connecticut people do not permit to themselves the expecta. tion of furnishing a presidential candi- date for either party. How could 1t be otherwise, when even New England is not permitted to name the president l There is little more hope, however, of the democratic candidate coming from New England than there is of the Re- publican candidate. But there is not hope enough to fool us into the expecta. tion that we shall be permitted to name the man from Connecticut.
 However, Connecticut is entitled to the passing notice, and Governor Bald win is entitled to more he Is man of presidential caliber. In mentality, i'll eX- perience, ill record. in eminence and knowledge. he is such a man as the na- tion named for president in the century ago days. He would, if the Democrats should name him and he should carry the country, be the balance wheel to save from madness the long restrained demo- cracy. Perhaps that is the principal reason why some elements of the party would not be enthusiastic over him. He is too good man for president, in the eyes of some of them.-New Haven Register.

Whats the matter with Canaan for one of those State agricultural college extension schools? It is the most ac- cessible town in the northwestern corner of the State. It is located conveniently for large number of distinctly farming towns. There has been lot of interest hereabouts in agricultural improvements and several towns would undo ubtedly join us Ill an endeavor to locate one here. It would be a great addition to Canaan's educational facilities, and would be great thing in a number of ways. Let the o. B. M. A. get after it..
 We have heard good deal about the "white slave'' traffic of late, ,and the trial in Hartford has revealed the fact that it is more serious menace to our own state than we had realized. The prompt order by Mayor Smith that the police effectively close these resorts is receiv- ing the approval of all sorts of bodies labor unions, church federations, etc.; but this condition can't be cured except by keeping everlastingly at it. And. by the way, the white slave" procurers find the ignoront immigrant girls and the wayward girls in small towns easy victims. Eternal vigilance is the price of safety.

tailed under false and misleading
brands.
Creameries and butter dealers all
over southern California are buying
Imperial valley butter in large cubes
in vast quantities, cutting il into re-
tail packages and putting their own
brands on it,
1t is not only in Los Angeles that
this method is followed, but in River
side, Redlands, San Bernanrdino and
other cities, and the butter of this
valley practically has no place on the
market because of this condition.
The Press does not particularly
blame the valley creameries for this.
They are themselves victims of con-
ditfon which has grown up and for
which they are not responsible. The
dealers in Los Angeles and in the othe
localities have command of the situa-
ton. and they have forced this prac-
tice.
But this method must be stopped
There is no false thing in this world
that can stand the light of day, and
the Press proposes to put light on this
practice and put end to the evil
condition.
