FIRE PPFVENTION

Thursday of this week has been set aside by Governor Cox of Ohio as fire prevention day. throughout the state for the purpose of increasing the interest in such an important and nec- essary effort on the part of the pub lie. When it is realized that one- half of the fire loss in the United States, running up to the grand total of S225. 000, 900 is preventable, full ap- preciation can be given the efforts wherever undertaken in behalf of pre- vention.
 There is some timely advice offered by Ohio's state fire marshal for a practical observance of the day when he says:
 Look to your chimneys especially at this season of the year. Has the mortar in the upper part decayed either from the action of the weather or gases from the fuel used? Defective chimneys are a frequent cause of fires at this time and are always a menace.
 How do you dispose of ashes? Never let them come in contact with wood, even though they are apparently cold. Is there any rubbish lying around wait ing only a spark to start a fire?
 Look to you gas connections and if electricity is used examine the wiring.
 See that stovepipes do not pass through wooden partitions or come near wood at any point.
 It is the negligence resulting from failure 10 give. attention to just such details which is responsible for many fires. If the fires which are prevent able and those which come through careIessness could be eliminated every city would show a great reduction in it's fire loss.

COMPETING WITH ENGLAND.

Before the national association of cotton manufacturers William Whit
 man offered a suggestion that the way to prepare for the competition which l could be expected from Europe in the cotton industry was to make an in | vasion of Europe with American goods. Such 8 suggestion might under many circumstances be of much value but for cotton manufacturers of this country, paying the wages they do to compete with England at home means ever greater efficiency than is already possessed.
 The Boston Advertiser we'll says upon this that Even under the old tariff arrangements there was some 1 competition with Europe and under the new tarif MT. Whitman declares that there will be considerably more. 1 With this view most of the cotton people are in agreement. That Is why 1 they have fought the tariff, Whether it will be possible for the American manufacturer of cotton goods to hold his own in this country and to carry the war into the enemy's field besides, would seem highly problematical. Flu rope has far cheaper la.borers and they work longer hours than the Americans l work The only possible goint at which American mills can excel those in Europe is in efficiency. Against anything of this sort the labor unions seem absolutely set. Yet upon gaining
 their cooperation depends the inva asion of Europe which is recommended"
 How well this country can compete with England in the foreign field un- der the old tariff is well shown in China where England maintSins her
 steady output but the cotton goods
 from this country have suffered a big

CANAL ZONE EARTHQUAKES.

It is quite well demonstrated by the tive earthquake shocks in Panama that the canal zone is not immune ffem such disturbances, and that when 1t | comes te predicting what nature is go ing to offer in that particular locality the task Is not an easy one. The canal strip was urged because of the belief that 1t was the section of the isthmus which would be free from earthquakes. That it is not free from them has been determined, but 1t Is still probable that the point is one which nature is liable to deal with the least severely. Little or no damage was done to the canal construction by the shocks but it naturally revives a discussion as to the possibilities which will continually exist from such tremb-
 lings of the earth. It is not surprising
 that the advocates of the sea level canal are therefore pointing out the
 fact that their ideas should have been
 followed.
 The harm which earthquakes can
 cause is bound to exist whether the
 canal is of the sea level type or CT
 the present lock construction. The
 fact that the two disturbances caused
 no damage does not show that the
 canal in it's present form will not
 prove all that was expected of 1t. Whichever form of construction exist
 ing there is little which could resist the forces of nature if the disturbance
 was severe enough. Being in the
 earthquake belt it is not surprising
 that slight shocks have been expe-
 rienced but many sections have them without their doing any harm. Until it is proved to the contrary it is probable that Panama section will escape as thpv do

CIRCULATION
THEroWN ELECTION.

As the result of Mondays election the democrats will be in control of the affairs of the town for the ensuing two years. Their stewardship has been approved as evidenced by the direct and indirect voting of the townspeople The outcome is what was fOreshadoWed with a three cornered contest and was in accordance with what could be ex- pected where unity fails to exist in the ranks of the opposing forces.
 Nothing demonstrated more clearly than the result of the voting that the town under normal conditions is re- publican and while a marked return to the republican party was indicated the demonstration of the futdlity of a three sided fight was most effective. Most fortunate was it to the demo- cratic ticket that such was the case, with the small pi1Tslities by which those in office retained their positions. Under the conditions the excellent run which the republican candidates made vas decidedly creditable. Two alone were successful but the narrow mar gin by which the others were barred Indicated the strength of the ticket under adverse circumstances.
 As characterized the national, state and city election, the efforts of the p-oEresstves have been devosad to a lettering Of the opportunity of the democratic candidates, but 1t is partic- uIariv to the credit of NTessrs. Gilmour and Blackburn that they wera able to r-n under the ropes without their endorsement what reunion would have meant Is indicated by the vote of Cocstsole Lambert. who appeared 0u both tickets
 I.ittle interest was taken in the two questions though the textbooks re- cefved much greater attention. The votes though light were decisive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hunting and Game Preservation.


 Mr. Editor: The hunting season is here again and with it comes the great question of game preservation. Many sportsmen in this city will be out ip the woods at least once a week for the next month and a half and will probably bring home from one to three birds, besides any number of rabbits each time they go out. If this is kept up, as it has been since our fathers hunted for food, how long will it be before there will be no game in Con- necticut?
 Not very many years ago hunting was done to furnish food and in con- sequence the hunter used a ten gauge gun in order to knock down as much game as possible in the least time No wthe ten gauge gun is practically obsolete aming the sportsmen and even the twelve gauge is giving way to the sixteen and twenty. Why? Because the real sportsmen are beginning to realize that the game is not inexhauSt- ible and that if they want sport in fu- ture years they must not slaughter 1t all now
 Even now the game hog goes out with a big ten gauge or a, pump gun he can ever use, and he thinks he is some hunter because he has knocked down more game than the sportsman with the twelve or sixteen or even twenty gauge double gun.
 Another element which hurts the sportsnen is the foreigner, who goes out with a three dollar ninety eight gun and a complete ignorance Of game laws and shoots everything ia sight. game or song birds. He has no re- gard fer property rights and this kind of hunting is what put the farm CTS, the Fightfl11 owners of the land, against inc sPoftsf4eH. Who can blame them?
 If YeH can't bring the game heg t6 gedF way of thinking, then Rork ia= diVidHally; make your own bag limit and stick ts it; don't use any gun e*eE twelve gauge and don't jake RufRR gun into the woods at ali; save it for fhe duck blind.
 If seRaR influential person had ana biti9R enough ta form a game PFetee= FiTe association iR Connecticut, of SaIf- fcieRt size, meFe efficient warden seF= vice eet1d be had and game hogs and gtheE enemies ef straight Hunting could be fegcib3y abolished. Fhink it eEeT and iR the interests pf the fast de= eEsasiRg game of Cenneetieut and your eAp sport, start something.

Deafpeas Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the liustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have 8 rumbIing sound or irnDerfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness~is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor uaaI condition, hearing will be de- gtFoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarFh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces,

PRESIDENT AND CIVIL SERVICE

When President Wilson indicates that he Is dispieased with the action of congress in the relaxation Of civil service rules as apnlfed to deputy United States marslals and deputy collectors of internal revenue, it is only consistent with his declared attitude before and since assuming office. How unjust and harmful such a step. if taken. will prove, is fully understood by the president Whether the clause Tn the biI which plans this radical step remains depends upon the firm ness with which the president declares himself As it stands at present if is not Tn accordance with the democratic understanding even An inroad is be- ing made into one of the promises of the party which justifes the exer- ton of the influence the president pos sesses to overcome it
 Whatever may be the disposition 10 keep the new appointments which wifi be made fn connection with the collection of the income tax from the rules of civil service, there is abso- lutelv no excuse for decreasing the number of government employees who are now working under it's provisio7ts The service is of such recognized value to the government and acknowledged benefit to the employees that it's scope should he extended instead of curtafIed. When civil service is attacked an in fiuence is at work which deserves to be suppressed and the president as a champion of civil service is in a position to make his attitude upon that important matter felt. It is a service which he owes to the country.

Behind the Garden Wall, By Robert
 Wallace. Board, 65 pages illus
 trated. Published by Paul Elder
 & Co, San Francisco. Price $1.
 This is an entertaining children S volume, illustrated by Elsinore Robin son Crowell, in which nature speaks for herself in her own lusty, ener- getic personal voice through the little people, and the common things that lie near at hand-a very part of a child's life. The magic of the poems is the magic of the mud puddles and the pebbles, of beetles and bunnies, of the underside of things of gay little birds that a child needs neither to classify or interpret, because he knows them. Yet, directly as the book is re- lated to the common order of things, it is couched in a. language, molded in a style, that carries with it refreshment and delight whether the years rest heavily or lightly upon ones should CTS.

CouIter's Plant Life and Plant Uses.
 By John Gaylord Coulter Ph. D..
 Cloth, 12mo, 4S0 pages, illustrated.
 American Book Company. New
 York. Price $1.20.
 A high school book about the funda- mentals of plant life and about the re- lation between plants and man. It aims to present only those large facts about plants which form the present basis of the science of botany, and which are essential to every high school botanist. In so far a-s is possi- ble. plant life is presented in terms of it's largest relation to life, but the treatment has in view preparation for life in general. and not preparation for any particular kind of calling. The subject matter has been presented in an interesting manner and in as simple a way as possible; scientific words, where first used, are interpreted by simple English equivalents. The illus trations are abundant and excellent.
