Where YourMoney Does ItsDuty-

A large amount of material has
been sent out through the library to
nigh schools for use in their debates
and discussions; assistance has also
been rendered in cataloguing and
improving several libraries in the
state.
One night school and social center
has been established, - study classes
nave been organized in different
parts of the state, and number of
individual correspondence students
have been enrolled.
Ihere is now total enrolment of
2I5 students in the correspondence
department, after Line months, as
compared with 10G students which
the university of Wisconsin had at
the end of its first year.
This shows that Colorado is wide
open for the extension methods of
education. The field is limited only
by lack of funds.
The time of the director is already
taxed to the limit, Notwithstanding
the fact hat his time has been given
largely to only one phase of the work,
that of correspondence study.

Considerable local interest has
been aroused by the probability of
having an assistant of university ex-
tonsion work located here, as an
nounced by The Sentinel, Saturday.
The old idea of a state university
was to locate the institution on a
campus in some town, and let the
people come to it who were so for
tunate as to be able to do so.
The new idea is to extend the
campus of the university to the farth-
est limits of the state, and so make
the advantages of the institution
available to all.
To accomplish this end, the exten-

Since that time the director has
visited nearly every secrion of the
state in order to become familiar
with the situation and has delivered
100 lectures and addresses.
Six bulletins of pubic interest have
been published, one being on the sub
ject of the prevention of typhoid and
one on the water supplies of the

A DETRIMENTAL EFFORT.

Following so closely upon the big demonstration in behalf of suffrage it. this country the turning down by the house of commons of the privilege as sought by the women of England, in . dicates what a contrast exists between the way the movement is being con ducted in the two countries, and in view of the majority of 47 against votes for women in the ballot declared. would warrant the presumption that the work of the militants had aroused sufficient enmity to the cause to defeat it.
 The New York Tribune observes that mo thoughtful persons, no matter how strongly and earnestly in favor of wo- man suffrage, can regard these doings in England without horror and detes- tation.' and the analysis og parlia- ment's vote suggests that the bill en- franchising the majority of English women might have passed the house had it not been for the revulsion and disgust caused by the current cam paIgn of malicious mischief. Women who burn churches. poison dogs and race horses and iTnperil human lives wholesale. in the name of justice and humanity. are doing injustice to the majority of their sex and are in6ict- ing upon humanity an unspsakable wrong. They are also delaying the very end which they profess to seek.

FOURTH GLASS PosTMAsTERs.

Much will depend upon the man. ner in which the new order concerning the fourth class postmasters is put into operation to demonstrate that it is action taken for the benefit of the ser vice rather than a political move for the purpose of returning to the spoilS system With the value of civil ser vice fully understood and appreciated for the good t has accomplished in the department and will continue to do nothing should be attempted which will reverse it. l. has shown steady progress and will continue to do so if the proper attitude is maintained to- wards 1t.
 Wherever there is need of bettering the service in fourth class offices. all or which were placed on civil service basis by previous administrations. 1t is but proper that the filling of the places. or vacancies which may occur for other reasons should be done by com petitive examination That is in accordance with the purpose and pro visions Of civil service. Instead of at tempting to introduce politics into the department and endeavoring to makt room for seekers of office because of a change of administration. much bet ter service could be extended to th, country through an extension of civil service and the proper application Gf it to the government employees ove~ whom it now exists. It will be wor-. 7 noting whether postmasterships of other classes will be filled by compet- tive examinations, or any recognition paid to merit when the time for changes comes.

BETTER STREETS.

For the purpose of getting more intelligent idea of the conditions which need improving and then arousing the interest to accomplish the betterme t so much desired in the way of conl- munity hygiene and particularly dirty streets, Commissioner Edwards of New York city, having in charge the street cleaning department has hit upon tfe happy idea of public education through the moving pictures. which have been prepared showing the unclean condi ton and unhealthy state of many of the public streets, in which the cooper ation on the part of the citizens is necessary in order to improve thei' condition.
 The idea of this plan is that by hav- ing public attention called to the exist ing state or affairs through pictures, which represent far better than any description. the realization of the ne cessity of the appeal is secured. There is in ts'is idea one which could well be applied to improvements and main : tenance of city streets. There is not1- ing like a personal view of the cond ton of streets to bring to the atten- ton of the authorities and the citizens the need of improvement. Sectional residents may talk about the defects and the requirements, but 1t is the knowledge of the conditions which drives home any argument for better ment, and moves those to whom the appeal may pc made to necessary ac- ton. Commissioner Edwards has hit upon an excellent idea for impartine this knowledge and one which would be of value in any community

PROTECTING THE PEOPLE.

The importance of special legislation for the purpose of checking the opera tiens of those whe prey upon the pub- lie for the purpose of making an easy and profitable living Is recognized in many states by the enactment of laws which require the passing of an ex- animation, a submission to investiga- ton of business and its conduct under conditions which are regulated by spe- cial provision While states have laws against fraud it is found easy to evade trouble under their provisions.
 In the matter of optometry there are twenty nine states in the union which have found it advisable to pass spe- ciai laws to govern this business of fitting and selling eyeglasses. In Massachusetts this law has been in eff feet g wear or so and the annual re- port contains a reference which shows the need of this state making similar provision for protection of the people who In large number are interested in the fitting of glasses to the eye. By its report the Massachusetts board re- fused to accept the affidavit of man who fitted glasses and claimed to have medicated lenses and also exerted a benefit through the influence of the Holy Word and Informed him 1T he continued his unlawful work in Mass acnusetts the board would prosecute him. He now has q regularly estab- lished office in a Connecticut town, Connecticut being the only state in New England not having protective law against such practice"
 With the rest of New England pro vided with optometry laws Connect icut thus becomes the resort of those who are driven from those states by the protection of the people. Such practice is permitted because those en- gagged in it are not required to observe cerfa in restrictiOnS.

A STATE TAX.

IT is quite evident that eX-Treasu surer Lippitt did not overestimate the situa . ton when he declared before leaving the office that a state tax would be re- uuired this year. It was his sugges- tion that at least a tax of three quar- ters of a mill would be required, but Governor Baldwin sets forth the con- dition of the present income and the probable expenditures when he rec ommends a two mill state tax upon the towns for the purpose of making mp the deficiency. At least five million will be the difference between the two sides of the ledger and the balance on the wrong side if this is not done
 The appropriations by the 1egisla- ture have in the main been reasonable e but it is apparent that the important work which the state would do can not be accomplished within the pres -ent income of the commonwealth, and the warning which came from the for mer state treasurer has not served to accomplish such restriction. though it has kept the watchword of econ omy before the session of the general
 ssembly. The state tax is inevitable
 opinion Of the governor that run
 ng expenses osght not 10 be paid ouz of borrowed money is sound. A tax If two mills. however, when applied t. each town, is going to mean the cur tailment of many local improvements, meaning an economy at home for the general good of the entire state. but when it comes to economy or endeav- bring to make both ends meet there is nothing like taxation to accomplish it. Bond issues are apt to lead to extrav- agance, particularly when the normal income is not to be increased thereby

Once regarded as a pest. the mole has become a valuable asset in the Netherlands because of it's skin. Dur ing the last two years the moleskin in dustry has sprung into prominence and great quantities of the skin have been produced. One shipper last year is credited with netting S75,O0O through his operations. The skin substitutes well for seal. The profes- sional hunters pay the farmer from 10 to 15 cents a skin As a result of these wholesale activities the mole is becoming extinct in Holland.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Past, Present, Future.


 The opposite of every truth is also true. Truth is twoedged and cuts both ways.
 For instance it is said that now is the all important moment We are told that the present alone is ours.
 But as a matter of fact a mans happiness is largely determined not at all by his present moment but by his past and future.
 Yesterday and to- morrow have more to do with us than to-day.
 It is what one has been and will be that wraps all around the soul.
 Really, what one is he hardly ever thinks of. To most of LIS the present does not matter much It is so negli- gible that we are all day running away from It. securing the fields of the past and aeroplaning over the future.
 The angel of mercy can come to us with two no greater gifts than forget fuiness and hope.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Poll Txa.


 Mir. Editor: There is a general inn pression in the community that only citizens are liable for poll tax. The writer is of the opinion that every male resident, citizen or alien. is sub ject to poll tax. yet many voters seem to question this and claim that there is in Norwich no collection of such tax if it is legally due.
 It seems to us that so important a source of revenue. if aliens are subject to it, should be well understood and should not be overlooked. Perhaps the Editor might enlighten the public on this matter and so settle the question.

Milk Inspection.

Mir Editor: Thousands of eastern Connecticut residents are more or less interested in the very interesting milk inspection now going on in Provi dence
 Where ftg has been proven-it is claimed-by the Housewives league and the food and drugl commission that both bad and watered milk has been repeatedly sold.
 City Inspector Walter Scott. who has been the means of making much trouble at different times among our eastern Connecticut farmers, says in reply: Tell me the names kof dealers selling bad milk and I will prosecute them"
 The Providence Evening Bulletin said editorially Tuesday:
 It is time for a change in the of ice of milk inspector in this city. MT. Scott is plainly not the man for the emergency, and an earnest, wideawake official should be chosen in his stead at the earliest practicable moment"

Now in spite of spending all of that money 1t has resulted in nothing as far as pure milk in Providence is con cerned and the Housewives league has proven, or claims to have proven, up here and what l always speak out In meeting and say, that is. that the farmers of eastern Connecticut supply Providence and Boston dealers with higher grade of milk than is supplied them by any other section.
