WASHINGTON'S BI..THDAY

.4eorge Washington, ''the father of his country" was born 1S0 years ago. To him, more than to any other man, the nation owes it's existence as an independent power. He shares with Thomas Jefferson the honor of hay ing established some of those great principles of government, which have preserved to the United States a re- publican form of government which, upon this anniversary of his birth, is destined to become more truly repub- Ifcan as the years roll on.
 Wazjhington's services as a general are better known than his services as a statesman. But the latter were not small. His farewell address. delivered Sept. IT, TITS, declining to be a third time president of this country, is document that may still be read with profit, and that is entitled to rank as one of the greatest productions ever written by human pen.
 Washington established the prin- cipIe that there should be no third term for the president of the United States None, so strongly is this prece- dent embedded in the public mind, ever has received a third term.
 Washington solemnly instructed the nation in the value of the union which they had accomplished, and solemnly warned them against whatever should tend to it's disintegration.N He was the source of Lincoln's yearnings for the preservation of the union and his determination to preserve it at Ill hazards.
 Washington warned his eountrymel against tangling political alliances with foreign nations, he pointed out the dangers of amending the constt- tuition by usurpation, he warned them in prophetic tones of the dangers of parties in the state, and against the

Intense Heat, Smoke and Gases in HOOSic Tunnel Drive
 WOrkmen Away
BOULDERS BLOCK TRACKS
Track Rails for 200 Feet Outside the Portal Warped Into Fantastic
 Shapes.

North Adams. Mass, Feb. 22-Re- pelled by the intense heat, smoke and gases from the burning freight cars in the interior of the Hoosac tunnel, an investigation party which entered the tunnel from the west side to in spect the scene of Tuesday nights train collision, were unable to ap- proach within thousand feet of the wreck late yesterday. A special train, cons ing of an engine, a fat car with a short derrick and box ca~ took into the tunnel various railro off cials and newspaper men from North Adams The draught fans midway of the tunnel were turned to blow the smoke and gases out of the east DO tai and a dash was made into the torrid atmosphere.
 Even by the aid of powerful search lights the searcbers could see scarcely more than an arms length ahead as the train neared the wreck, and they were compelled to lie down upon the flat car to catch the cooler, clearer air. At 'erg gth the heat became so unbear- ale that it forced a ret eat after he Party had heen in the tunnel little over two hours. Rocks were still falling from the roof over the wreck, some of those seen on the traoks weighing probably from six to eight tons.
 Train Master J. D. Bourne. who had charge of the train, declared 1t as his belief that severa' hundred feet os tha tunnel would have to be cleared ard that no train could be run through before the end of the week at the earliest.
 Throughout the entire day firemen worked energetical!y with streams of water drawn from engine tenders to cool the emhers at the east end of the tunnel. So intense was the heat there that the track rails were warped for 200 feet outside the portal, while in side they were bent and twisted into all sorts of fantastic shapes

 Dr. Coutant. an able specialist. has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing is not perfect or.w here the sufferer is harass ed hy ringing. roaring. buzzing or other diSagrPea hle noises in the head. It ap- pears that about 93 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment
 pr Coutant oOes not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating witE Nature in bringing bout speedy and effeetu- al cure of morbid aural conditions Re markable cures are reported. many Of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years With the description given in his newly published book. the learned docte provides long series of letters. written by per~0nS VI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured "t home without loss of time and without inconvenience by pr.

 Anyone who is interested can write to a dozen or a hundred of the persons who. not long ago. were victims of deafness or head d-nOises tor bOthI and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marveIlOusly benefited or completely cured.

was doing penance for his Oklahoma speech, that diatribe of reactionary blindness in which he warned the people of a sovereign state against the creed which he has now embraced
 But the importance of the event must not be underestimated. MT. Roosevelt is great leader He will rally to the progressive banner hun dreds of thousands of Republicans who would be lukewarm, or hostile in the new cause had he not embrac- ed it.
 The issue between Roosevelt and Taft is more clearly drawn than ever issue was between Lincoln and Doug las.
 Taft has arrayed himself with the ultra reactionaries of his party. He does not stop with opposing pure democracy. He says in good set terms that the people can not govern themselves. The people will not govern themselves if Taft can pre- vent.
 But the cause of pure democracy is not a Republican cause. It is not a Democratic cause. It is the peoples cause.
 The evangels Of that cause are the choicest leaders of the people in both parties. In the Senate of the United States it's sponsors are Democrats like Cham berlain. Gore and Owens and Republicans like LaFolIette, Bourne and Cummins.
 Roosevelt is the belated Paul of pure democracy dragged reluctant to it by the cords of ambition. But in WoodrNw Wilson Democracy has sincere and less haIting believer in the strength and righteousness of the people.
 The lesson to Democracy is exceed ingly plain. In the convention at Baltimore a progressive must be nominated.

 The hour could not have been without humiliations for MT. Roose- welt.
 He was bringing no news to the delegates whom he addressed. A majority of those delegates are pledged to put into the new instru- ment the things which MT. Roosevelt advocated. The chairman of the con vention was an ardent advocate of pure democracy while MT. Roosevelt was it's enemy.
 MT. Roosevelt was not leading the convention. He was following it.. Like Saul of Tarsus he had seen d great light. The scales had fallen from his eyes. He was promising no more tn persecute the Christians. He

 The news columns of The Farmer recited, yesterday, a story that seems to require explanation. either from Mayor Wilson. or somebody else The Board of Relief has been sitting on appeals from valuations Joy hthe as- sessors. Among petitioners for re- lief were many persons of the hum bier sort and six or seven wealthy cor porations. The board gave due hear ing, took evidence upon each peti- ton, reached it's decision upon eacn matter, reduced it's findings to writ ing. signed it's report and got ready to close it's work. The matters be- fore it were adjudicated, and nothing it seemed, remained to be done.
 But somebody in authority-it seems not to be quite clear who-got advance news of the action of the board and communicated the facts TO certain of the more powerful peri tioners.
 There appear to have been hurried conferences, between representatives of the corporations, the mayor and the board The reJult was a reopen ing of the list and the gre uting to some six or seven corporal ons fur ther reductions in addition to those which the board had previously allow ed upon consideration of the evil dence.
 The reductions granted under the reopened list will total almost $6O0, 900, ninety per cent of which reduc- ton on the grand list as prepared by the assessors is in favor of the same wealthy corporations.
 This most remarkable proceeding demands that those responsib e for 1t should make some statement of req sons
 Were all these cases re-opened at the request of the mayor, or some body else? If so, why? What evil dence had been produced to indicate that the first conclusions of the board of relief were not proper. or their ac- ton not just?
 The whole matter is in strict ac- cordance with the tenor of the ad- rninistration.' which crept into power in the last election, by a division in the vote, which made the ballots of little more than a third of the e1ec- torate dominant in the city govern ment.

spirit of faction.
 His advice, had it been consistently followed, would have prevented the civil war, would have made unneces- sary the great popular movement to limit the power of the courts for usurpation of legis' 'ative prerogatives, and would have rendered unnecessary the movement existing to make par ties responsible to the people, by bringing party nominations directly into the control of the people, while laws emanating from legislation dom mated by parties are brought under the direct supervision of the people
 Washington died of great years, the most honored man of his times. None has equalled him in love of country. The fineness of his devotion is shown in straw of history. He ever re- fused to accept compensation for his services as a public servant. He said, in his first address to Congress:
 When was first honored with q call into the service of my country, then on the eve of an arduous strug- gle for it's liberties, the light in which I contemplated my duties required that I should renounce every pecun- iary compensation. From this reso- lution I have in no instance depart ed, and, being still under the i'm pressions which produced it, must decline as inappIicable to myself any share in the personal ernolumenUs which may be included in your pro visions for the executive department. .' Washington was a rich man. Not every public servant can serve his country without pecuniary compen- sation, but every public servant and every citizen can, if he will, emulate Washington's devotion to his coun- try, his disinterestedness and his free dom from private ambition.

REMOVED FROM JOBS.
Surety Co. Gets Contractor to Take Up
Work on Preston Rosd-others Will
Be Similarly Dealt With.

The Eldredge Construction company
has caused no end of trouble and an
noyance not only to the state highway
commissioner hut also to all of those
who have had occasion to use the sec
tons Of highway in the town of Led
yard, Preston and Voluntown that were
awarded to this company.
Owing to financial difficulties the
Eldredge Construction company was
unable to do the work they had con-
tracted to perform, and while Commits
sioner Mac Donald was pleasantly dis
posed towards the contracting firm.
and did everything he could to assist
them legally, he finally was compelled
to turn over the contract to the sew
eral surety companies that had fur
nished bonds for the Eldredge Con-
structiOn company.
Some difficulty has been experienced
on the part Of the surety companies in
getting contractors to enter upon this
work, owing to the fact that such a
large amount Of state road contracts
was in force, and the number OF CON
tractors was limited.
One Of the surety companies has Sc
cured a contractor for the largest IN
finished contract namely, in the town
Of Preston. This contractor is c. w
Tryon Of -Meriden, Conn., who already
has entaseC upon the work. and every
thing now points to a speedy arrange
Hent for the completion Of the Other
sections in the town Of Ledyard and
NoluntoTn.
Everyone who has occasion to use
these roads will be devoutly Thankful
to learn 1t that this-verv ..hnueh -nootet
question is to be adjusted
