The mistaken sense of proportion arises
from q very good reason. The traveller
who has never been in America is prone
to consider New Yorks relation to the
United States as corresponding to that
of London to England. Even a study OF
maps and statistics cannot remove this
impression. Every Briton knows that the
United States is much larger than Eng
land. of course. but how immensely larger
he is unable to comprehend
1t is, therefore, really a matter OF
qualification that British travellers In
America. lured by the prospect Of not
being off British soil, and by the fine
advertisements of the Canadian railway
are becoming more and more addicted tic
the transcontinental journey. That they
prefer the Canadian lines is natural. And
having seen how vast Canada is, many
of them are moved by a desire to in
vestigate the greater magnitude Of the
nation to the south. Americans who
preach the gospel Of "See America First
should be glad that foreign travellers also
are coming more and more to appreciate
the pleasure and benefit Of an American
sojourn. If Canadian railroad develop
ment has helped to bring about the
change there will be no jealousy south OF
the border.

PLAYED GAME OF GOLF
ON BOARD A STEAMER

DURINC a recent voyage Of an Amer
- lean vessel from Buenos Aires to
New York there took place on board the
steamer what was regarded as the first
organized game of golf ever played at
sea. 1t has been predicted that the ocean
going steamers of the future will be fitted
with golf links. as well as automobile
race tracks, but the novel game on board
the New York-bound vessel is thought
10 be the first Of the kind.
1t was, to be precise. a driving compe-
tition. for II would naturally be impos-
sible to obtain on board ship all kinds
OF shots as on land. The method of
the game originated by accident One
day passenger was amusing himself by
driving balls from the deck out to sea in
order to test a certain driver. The aues-
ZION soon arose as to how far the balls
were driven, and another golfer of a
would be easy to measure the drives by
statfoning an observer at each end Of the
snip, with the teeing ground between
them, each to record the angle at which,

base of a triangle, II was easy to calcu-
late the length OF the balls flight, and
assuming that the ball was driven off
exactly at right angles from the ships
course. her movements between the time
of the balls leaving the deck and strik-
ing the water, 1t was pointed out, would
not affect the result.
4 stock OF golf balls was obtained at
trinidad, and tournament was held.
The two observers were stationed at
each end Of the base line, ABS feet apart
one on the forecastle, and the other aft
on tho second-class promenade deck. At
each OF these points was fixed table,
on which were scales with a movable
pointer. The tee was on the main deck

Decay Of Diplomacy.
From the London Athenaeum

Diplomacy is not a career which en-
courages the growth of q strong per-
sonality. The diplomatist is necessarily
the tool of other men. Wandering from
capital to capital, he is the mouthpiece
Of successive ministers, to whose diver
gent policies he must adapt himself with
the good grace that leads to swift promo
ton. If he develops decided views of his
own, or allows himself to cultivate en-
barrassing sympath. es, he Is apt to be
marked as a dangerous and uncomforta-
BILE subordinate, for whom there will
presently yawn some obscure and dis
tant hole in a South American legation.
The great ambassadors lived in the days
when no telegraph had yet been invented
to make bureaucracy omnipresent. 1t
wants only some further perfection of
the long-distance telephone to abolish the
diplomatist altogether.

ing removed to allow the ball a free
flight. The forward observer could see
the player at the tee. but as the latter
was hidden from the aft observer, two
sisnalmen with flags stood at each end
of the upper promenade deck in order to
warn the aft observer when the ball had
been driven off. Both the observers noted

DRUGGISTS CAN'T SELL LIQUOR ON
 ELECTION DAY
New Law Classes Them with Liquor Dealers - Can't
 Sell on Christmas
Show Doctors Prescription When You Try to Get Ball from Your
 Pharmacist

Druggists may not sell liquor on election day or on Christmas except on the prescription of a doctor, accord ing to the interpretation of the excise law given by the legislative committee of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical As sociation at their afternoon session in the Elks' cub, yesterday afternoon. The report of the committee cleared up a general misunderstanding on State and Federal laws that have been recently enacted. On the question of the sale of liquor by druggists on cleo tion day and Christmas, county com missioners in the various counties have given different decisions, but the re- port ofs the legislative committee set ties the matter for the drugg sts.
 Another matter which was called to the attention of the pharmacists was the Federal statute reg arding the re- filling of bottles. In the past drug gists who used bottles with their names blown in the glass have been in the habit of washing them out and refiIling them. The Federal law which forbids this practice with bot inal substance was explained by the committee. Several other s ate and National laws of much importance to the trade were explained for the bene- fit of those present.
 Contrary to expectations there was no discussion or criticism of the con- duct of the pharmacy commission in employing private detectives to col lect evidence on druggists who viola te the excise laws. The endorsement of John A. Leverty for reappointment on the Pharmacy Commission, unsought by him, was a unique expression Of approval of his past services
 The association by vote placed itself on record as favoring the pure food and drug law. Dairy Commissioner Hubert R. Potter of North Haven, and his deputy, Tyler Cruttenden, of Nor wich. addressed the assoeia tion on the pure food and drug law. The election of officers will be held at the June session, which will be held in New Haven or Hartford

GEORGE W. PERKINS TELLS WHY HE IS
 FOR I. ROOSEVELT
Denies That the Trusts with Which He Is Identified Have Decided to Knife Taft In Interest of "Teddy.''
Especial from United Press )

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Jan. 24-That he is not now and has not been the mouthpiece of the United States Steel Corpora tion or of the International Harvester company or any other of the big cor porations in advocating the nomina- ton of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was the emphatic declaration made, today, by George w. Perkins
 In the statement dictated to the United Press Perkins said:
 ''I do not know that I have any thing to add to my letter to The New York Tribune, as published in their issue of this morning. except to em> phasize, if possible, one point, name ly. that any opinions which I may have expressed, publicly or privately, relating to the business problems of the day, politics or men in public life, have. in every case been my own opinions and have been made without consul ;ation, authority or knowledge of the steel corporation, the harvester concern in which I am interested or with which I have been connected. So far as I know and believe the above named corporations are Keeping en- tirely out of politics..
 Tn his letter to the Tribune. Per kins denied stories by its Washington correspondent and by the correSpon- dent of the Indianapolis News that he has been conducting the campaign for the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt with ''redoubled energy ever since President Taft refused to recommend the amendment of the Sherman anti Trust law and insisted on pressing the suit for the dissolution of the steel trust.''. These stories are charac- terized by Perkins as ''false and mis- leading'' He then says:
 'There is not and never has been any mystery or concealment in my attitude toward MT. Roosevelt. The statement that I am in harmony with what are known as his policies is true and as every one who knows me knows If such a course on my part constitutes a crime the charge could have been made against me at any time as far back as when MT. Roose- welt was governor of New York. From that day to this I have never con cealed my admiration for his course in public life.''
 Perkins then referred to the active support given by him to Roosevelt's candidacy for governor in the last state election and to the fact that he had constantly made his views on reg ulations of big corporations public and that they are well known. He then concluded:
 q believe in progressive Republi- can principles. I believe it is eX- tremeIy important to the welfare of should succeed in the forthcoming na~ tional election. I believe that it be- hooves every man who has the fu- ture welfare of this country at heart to study carefully the problems be- fore us in their entirety, that he may ly an opinion and work for such polt- cies and such candidates as may ap- pear to be for the best interests Of our entire country.

THE HoWLAND DRY GOODS co.
MEET PACKERS
 DID DRIVE OUT ALL COMPETITION
Especial from United PressA

Chicago, Jan. 24-That the National Packing Company, charged by the government with being the mainstay of the beef trust, was the corporate giant that swept practically all com petition from the field was brought out, today, before Federal Judge Car penter in the trial of the packers.
 It was shown that before the con- cern had been organized two years it had removed from the field a dozen competing packing houses and that, in 1908, when it was five years old. it had absolute control of the industry. As each transaction by which a com petitor was removed was shown by the stock records, fresh objection was made and Judge Carpenter finally re- marked to the attorneys for the de- fense:
 '.The government has charged in the indictment that the National Pack ing Company was conceived in sin and the government is evidently pro- ceeding to the task os proving it was also bred in iniquity."
 The government showed that the score of companies which comprised the National at it's incorporat tion were valued at about $s, 0o0,0 900. Within the next five years it had absorbed plants valued at s6,00O00o, many of which were closed.
