NORWICH AUTO DRIVER Ran Into Wagon of w. w. Lewis Arranses to Settle All Damages.

W. W. Lewis of Main street had a narrow escape from serious injury Wednesday. He left the right hand side of the road to cross the street with his horse and wagon, preparatory to entering the driveway to the Stanton place, and was struck by an automo- bile which was coming up behind him. The horse was knocked down and badly bruised. MT. Lewis who was thrown from the wagon, escaped with few cuts and bruises.
 A. D. Lathrop of Norwich was the owner of the car, and he at once prof fered his services and offered to make good any loss. MT. Lathrop was on his way to Hartford and on his arrival there arranged with the company in which he is insured to send a repre- sentative down to adjust the loss.

There was some talk Friday of a protest by the Montgomery Hose com panys team, which was defeated Thursday night by the Alerts in the tug of war at the Hilltop carnival, on the ground that one of the members of the Alert team was not an active member of the company. Whether a formal protest will be presented is doubtful, however The Alert company has many heavyweights in its ranks and could undoubtedly find several vol unteers for the position if a second contest is called for

The buildings of the Horseshoe Park Agricultural association are to be sold at public auction, Secretary Samuel B. Harvey stated Friday. The associa- tion will probably look for grounds elsewhere, as there is no intention of giving up the Willimantic fair. The land on which the buildings stand is the property of the American Thread company and has been leased from year to year by the association.

while the proper expenditure Of one
tenth Of that amount would stop this

This accords with what DR.. Vaughan,

USING IT'S OWN STANDARD.

Repeated statements IN our after
noon contemporary that the News
Times was for ex-Mayor Fogarty in
the present primary campaign and op-
posed to Joyce. Kyser, Fink. Niezgod-
ski. Ward and Weidler have caused
some wander in political circles.
For IL is generally known among
the candidates themselves and the
people at large that this newspaper
under its present management does
not attempt 10 dictate the party
choice So why any other statement
should be made has occasioned some
speculation.
And yet the solution is easy.
The Tribune does not realize. has
never realized the function of a party
newspaper. The Tribune has respect
for the judgment OF no one but itself.
II has always assumed that the en-
tire responsibility of nominating and
electing not only the candidates Of its
own party but those Of the opposing
party or parties, lay with itself. 1t
has always tried TO dictate the nom
ination Of men who fitted its owns
peculiar narrow standards.
This paper. however. believes that
the rank and file Of democracy has
brains enough to select its own nom
inee among the excellent material
offered this year. 1t does not set its
Judgment up as supreme over that
OF the voters Of the city. It simply
Keeps its channels open TO legitimate
publicity from all candidates and
plays fair with them all.
Whoever is the choiceoof the demo-
Gratis at the coming primary will
get the loyal support of this news
paper. 1t cheerfully submits to the
Judgment Of its party. That is fun
damental tenet of democracy, that the
majority shall rule. that this govern
ment is or should be a government of
the majority.
To bring this about in national af-
fairs as we'll as local. to stop the rule
of selfish interests, the rule of a
minority. was democracy's great fight
in the election last fall. And the prin-
ciple was endorsed as sound by mil
lions Of voters of the nation.
This newspaper sees no reason now
20 depart from this principle. or lower
itself 10 the level of the Tribune which
will work only for some candidate
who win agree to be a Tribune pup

GUIDE FOR TIE YOUNG.

Sex hygiene is to be taught in the
high schools of Chicago under the
name of personal purity. If the ex-
pertinent is successful in the high
school the teaching of this subject will
be extended to the upper grades Of
the elementary schools if deemed ad-
visable.
With the sexes separated a course
of three lectures Will be given to all
high school pupils by specialists in sex
hygiene and in first year classes in
hygiene. physiology or biology. The
Introduction Of this study in the Chi
cago schools is the result of efforts
made by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. su-
perintendent Of the schools. reinforced
BY endorsements by the president Of
Northwestern university, Jane Ad-
dams. Prof Henderson of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago. and other prominent
people.
The purpose of education in sex
hygiene is TO make the young &C
ouainted with themselves and with
their sexual relations with each other,
in order that higher conception Of
the functions of the human body may
be formed at a period when it is
easiest 10 absorb erroneous ideas and
acquire wrong tendencies. The study
OF this subject 5 made optional with
parents. At their written resuest
their children Will be excused from
attending the lectures.
This. however. will be an almost
useless precaution since il is almost
impossible To control the interest or
curiosity OF children. and probably as
foolish as US, less since il would be
better 10 obtain the information di-
rect from the lecturers than TO absorb
il in perhaps distorted form from
other pupils.
Chicago is among the first cities TO
make this study a part Of the public
school curriculum and il was through
the efforts OF woman that il has
been done. Such high endorsement OF
the theory that sex hygiene should be
taught in a systematic way commends
il 10 the serious attention Of all school

\ STRONG ENDORSEMENT.

The News-Times has from the first
urged the purchase of the Methodist
church property by the county. 1t
advocated this purchase because it
believed for practical and sentiment
tai reasons the property should be-
long 10 the county and become a part
OF the court house grounds.
There are also substantial evidences
that the preponderance of public
sentiment is in favor Of the purchase.
This sentiment we may fairly con-
clude Is represented in the petition
filed by business men with the coun-
~ commissioners. That petition is
signed by some of the heaviest tax
payers in the county and is an earn
est from them that they approve the
expenditure OF county funds for this
purpose.
The arguments in favor Of adding
this property TO the county grounds
need not be repeated. Had they not
been set forth in fun they are obvious
TO any intelligent person. and the
commissioners should not hesitate to
make the necessary order. II they
should fail to do so the county and
city Will in the near future come to
the time when their mistake will be
apparent 70 all.
The property is not held at an ex-
orbitant price and the county can
take its own time TO pay for il. Long
before il is paid for the most skepti-
cal win see the wisdom OF the pur-
chase. The county needs the room to
expand for the accommodation OF its
growing business and the appearance
OF the city will be enhanced by hav-
ing the whole Main street frontage

Getting the News
BY FRED c. KELLY.

On the day after Hastings Mac
Adam arrived in Washington some
years ago to be representative of the
st. Louis Republic, he received a tel
egram from his office asking him to
get certain information from the
British ambassador.
Now, if MacAdam had been less
new to the ways of official Washing
ton, he would have been more eXer-
cised over the telegram than he was.
For seeing the British ambassador in
those days was a difficult job. One
had to call at the embassy, sit around
and await the pleasure of some assist
ant secretary, though him make an
appointment with the ambassador,
and-if the ambassador had nothing
else to do-finally one got to the am
| basador. This process might occupy
a week.
But MacAdam wist not of such diff
ficulties. The most logical way he
knew to talk to an ambassador was
the same way he would talk to his
green grocer-simply call him up by
telephone and engage him in CONVEX
sation. Nothing could be easier.
He picked up the telephone book.
looked through the BIS until he came
to British Embassy and called EN-
up.
Want to speak to the ambassador"
he said, jauntily.
And who is this?" he was asked.
"Mr. MacAdam of the st. Louis Re-
public"
Now that word Republic" seemed
to act like a verbal can opener. The
man on the phone at once assumed a
tone Of almost obsequious politeness
and in a couple of seconds a person
with a deep voice that could only be-
long to an ambassador. was saying;
Yes. this is Sir Mortimer Durand.
What is II, John?"
I'm not John" said MacAdam,
somewhat nettled, for no one likes 20
be called by another name; I'm Mr..
MacAdam, of the st. Louis Republic"
'"Well, what do you want, John? ?"
roared the ambassador, who seemed to
be hard of hearing.
Every WELL" thought MacAdam, eff
you're determined TO call me John, you
just perfectly can, and see If l care"
He went ahead TO PROFOUND his
| question.
