thin kind. His latest contract is of
some interest in this section inasmuch
as it Will lead from Bridgeport a dis
lance of six miles to Stepney, the most
of which highway has been in a
wretched condition for a long time.
Of still greater interest here is, the
Bridgeport report to the effect that
the commissioner is planning an as
pha1t road from Paradise Green, in
Stratford, to Shelton. The report
says, '"This is a much used road and
the commissioner is being urged to
pave it the whole distance AS this
is part of the proposed paved trunk
line of highway which the state road
association has on it's map, it is clear
that the commissioner would forestall
this movement, over this particular
stretch of road, by laying the propos-
ed paving himself. Unquestionably
there is need of a great deal of work
between Shelton and Paradise Green.
During the past two or three years the
traffic over this stretch of highway
has been rapidly increasing, and tn ;
road in consequence has become baI-
~ worn. It has many bad and dan
gerous turns, steep grades and deep
holloWs and ruts.

BOOSTING GASOLINE PRICES.


It looks as if the Standard Oil Com
pany aid the other large oil compan-
les were inviting governmental regu-
lation when they put up the price of
gasoline from nine TO IT cents a gal
lon in six months. Much uneasiness
is felt by all consumers of gasoline and
there are fears that the action of the
oil men will discourage and injure the
big automobile business.
The oil men say there is scarcity
of crude oil, but the answer is that
If any such scarcity exists it is arti-
fciaI1y sustained by controlling the
output in the oil fields. The advance
of nearly 100 per cent. in the price
of gasoline, taken with the fact that
in London the price has gone up IT,
26 cents a gallon, is regarded as ON
nous
The oil business is still monopoly
and there is no competition on any
large scale. The oil trust has been
dissolved, but the working of the con.
stituent bodies seems just as harmful
to the public as ever and no imme-
diate relief is in sight.

APPEAL TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
By the worlds Greatest Known Ma
turalists, Burroughs and Seton.

New York, Jan 24-John Bur
rouhs and Ernest Thompson Seton,
the worlds most widely known nat
uraIists, to-day issued the following
joint appeal to the school children of
America:
AN urgent appeal we make to you
in behalf of our native birds, many
species of which are in danger of ex-
termination. To you is now given
the opportunity to render substantial
help toward their preservation. A
m eaSure is now before congress- the
purpose of which is TO place all mi
gratory birds under the protection of
the Federal government. Such q
law is greatly needed. If it is not
passed our birds will continue to de-
crease-to the great and everlasting
disadvantage and shame of the Amer
lean people. The destruction of bird
life is costing American farmers mil
lions of dollars annually through the
constantly increasing devastatfons of
harmful insects upon which the birds
feed. But a greater loss their slaugh-
ter is bringing to all who love Gods
great out-of-doors.
'"The measure now before congress
is non-partisan and non-politicaL 1t
should have the hearty endorsement
of all patriotic and nature-loving Am
orleans. But it is in danger of being
lost in the great mass of less impor-
tant legislation now pending in con-
gress-
1--WE. therefore, appeal to the school
children of America to help in this
vitality important matter. We ask
you to get your parents teachers and
friends to write or telegraph to the
congressman of your district and the
two senators of your state, now In
washington. urging Immediate action
upon the pending bird protection bill
that they may undergtand how deep
is the interest in it and how great is
the need for it. IF you will to-day
get two or three such messages writ
ten and sent (they need not be long
MESA gesa simple signed request will
dol you will have the satisfaction of
knowing that you have rendered sub
cause. Why not make this your task
for to-day--anda Tomorrow? Your
teacher or your newnpaper will give
you the names of your senators and
congressman. the messages should be
sent at once.
And this appeal rs big enough and
important enough to extend to all the
grown-up children who are out in the
greater school of Iife-Inen and worn-
en- who would help conserve one of
the country's most valuable and inter
esting resources. To such we appeal
for immediate cooperation. A mes
sage-to Washing ton-sent to-day
from you--wiH help to save our birds
from destruction. Surely. you'1l send
it!''

CLERGY AND NEWSPAPERS.
New Bedford Standard)

Another Boston clergyman is dis
satisfied with the way in which news
papers are managed, and advocates
municipal newspapers in every COM
munity. to publish merely what had
happened AS always, we have the
spectacle of newspapers which are
touchy about the clerical criticism and
which are inclined to harsh and BIT
ter rejoinder and recrimination. We
are quite unable to sympathize with
this exhibition of temper, which is
certainly .unbecoming to an institu-
ton that is inclined to frankness and
freedom in pointing out the defects
of all other institutions. Editors who
read cIergymen long lessons as to how
they should preach and manage their
churches ought to be willing to take
turns in kind with good nature. AS
to the Boston minister. his proposal
is to be regarded with mild anuse-
ment. There are ten thousand-very
likely ten million-ideas as to the
way in which publishing merely what
has happened should be carried out,
and his is probably no better than
any of the others

no ground for doubt as to his position
on the leading questions of the day.
He is very frank and very emphatic
in his statements. On March he
can take office with the feeling that
the entire country has the information
it should have and has had time to di-
gest it.
After all. why is not this a better
plan than to follow the old custom
and keep every one in suspense as to
what the policy of the new admins
tration is to be?

tariff on carload lots of bananas

ing, Idaho and Utah. The tariff thus
suspended cancels through rates from

tt is claimed by The protestants
that the Cancelled routes are the most
desirable for this traffic, and that the
application of combination instead of
