Despite the recent decision of the Supreme court of Connecticut that Failure to pay the personal tax is not a crime yet. according to City .Attor- hey Pullman the delinquent may De 1-seut to jail and confined there until ane works out the amount due at the rate of S1 per day. The city attor- nev says that while 1t may be some consolation to some people to know They are not going to Jail for crime, Hhe effect Is little different Accord Ing to the law delinquents can be con lined until they have worked out the amount of the tax with costs and also paid their board at the rate of $2.25 per week.
 The law reads as follows:
 -@When any person shall neglect or refuse to pay his personal che tax collector of the town in which such tax is fevied-such justice of the neace shall thereupon cause such de- kfnouent taxpayers to be arrested and brought before such justice or court <1,ch justice z shall order the accused to stand committed to the 5afI or vvorkhouse in the county until such tax with interest thereon, and aII costs of proceedings shall be paid tAnv person committed to jail under the provisions of this section shall De required to do such work as ms phy- ssicaI condition may allow and shall be discharged when his labor at the rate of s1 a day shall amount to said fax interest and costs. taxed as in criminal cases, and including the sum of s225 per week for board during erich commitment and thereupon the rounty commissioners shall pay to the treasurer of the municipality from which the delinquent was committed fhe amount of such tax, with the costs taxed by the authority commit ling such delinquent"

months past The work of baIlasting the road and sprinkling oil on it was completed a couple of days ago and all that is lacking now is another coat of road oil for the space in the center of the road between the Connecticut company's tracks This space was oiled early in the summer, but the oil has long since dried up and the dust, al- though not nearly as bad as it was before, is still annoying. If the town possessed a stone crusher and roller the work could all have been com pleted month ago, at least as far as ballastfng it with crushed rock is con- cerned, A stone crusher and a, steam roller are things which the seIectmen of Stratfo need badly and they should be acquired just as soon as pos sible. The Gooner the town purchases them, the better.

Sir Rufus Isaacs the new lord chief

ish as lord chief justice Of England
every generation a few people achieve
careers az remarkable. and there is moth

a lord chief justice Ii his inclina tons are
of that kind. But of those who rise to
eminence few have pursued so incalcula-
bic path Less than year ago there
was a quite considerable demand for his
expulsion from public life; today he sits
supreme over British judges.
Sir Rufus early experiences on the
stock exchange before he embraced the
more lucrative profession of politics and
the bar were entirely to his credit as a
man. if unfattering to his abilities as a
stockbroker. He might have taken that
tirst essay as proof that he was never
meant for success as tinancier and so
avoided his recent misfortunes. His orig
nal inclination was to become a sailor,
and once. | believe, he was the point
Of running away to sea in quite the grand
manner of romance. But wiser counsels
prevailed. and he went by way of the
stock exchange to the bar. | we'll remem-
Der him as practicing harrister. There
was something birdlike about his aspect
in wig and gown, an agile alertness. a
swift. clean keenness that made him stand
out from the row of barrsters in court
