WATCH YOUR STEP!
LegibIe Postmarks.
by The Conductor-

I got letter from an old buddy O mine tn other day, that I hadn't heard from since San Francisco had the big fire. He forgot to say where he was, an only put his boardin hoIse number on top of his letter. A fortune teller couldn't read the postmark on the out side. Say, what kind O priatin' press es do these postmasters run? 1 haint you nothin'. If you can spell ing or vile out O that mess O black ink they spoil the stamp with. you ought to go to the head O the class. You never can tell what state a towns in, an if the state shows up they al ways smudge the towns name. Every time I get q letter it looks like some felicw shot ink at the stamp and miss ed it. What they tryin' to do? If they just want to put dope on the stamp, why don't they quit tryin' to spell something? An if they're tryin' to spell somethin', why don't they punch it on right? You can't drive a tent peg with a lick an a promise. You cant print with a dope stick. Some O these clubs boomin the city ought to take up collection and buy a good stamp for the postmaster an offer prizes to the postal clerks like you get a good seegar if you hit the letter plump and square so's you can read tn mark Me an you don't care bout havin' tn hour an tn mnute tn let ter's posted; but, by cracly, fellow'd like to know where the durn letter come from.

THE VOTING MACHINES.

Norwich faces a peculiar situatio concerning it's voting machines for which it has spent its money but is unable to use them. The selection of the particular type of machine seems at present to be the cause for the diff fcuIty which has not taken definite shape but becomes a menace through possibilities. hinging upon a contest between rival voting machine makers. The town is protected by a bond against the loss of it's money invested in the machines, but not against being deprived of their use through an in junction. Should a town election be but three months off instead of the city election the same possibility of such action would threaten.
 When the machines were purchased by the town, it was the intention that the city would hire such of them as possibilities of an injunction compli- cates the situation until such time as the diScord between the machine builders is settled. In the meantime the city has got to return to the old ballots a system over which the ma chimes offer apparent advantages. It also serves to compicate the under standing of those who are to vote. Changing from one form of ballot to another ana rom that 10 InachineS and then back to ballots cannot but cause confusion.
 The city voters ought not to be de- prived of the advantages which ma chimes afford It makes certain that the desire of the voter is counted, that the count is accurate and gives the result of election within a brief period after the polls are closed.
 It would seem justifiable for the city through the proper channels to en- deavor to secure some assurance one way or another that the injunction is a live possibility. Such would give a basis for action. The voting ma chimes should be used if it is possible to do so and if investigation of the situation will pave the way for the city meeting to authorize their use 1t should be done.

Stomach Misery
 Just vanishes
NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR SOUR NESS AFTER TAKING "PAPE'S
 DiAPEPSIN."

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like g. lump of lead, refusing to digest. or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heart burn fullnesS, nausea bad taste in mouth and stomach headache-this is indigestion.
 A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only fifty cents and will thoroughly leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suf- fer from stomach trouble or indiges- ton.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these fifty-cent cases, then you will un- derstand why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve sour ,out-of-order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. Dia- pepsin is harmless and tastes like power sufficient to digest and prepare for. assimilation into the blood all the food you eat. besides. 1t makes you go to tine ta bie with healthy appe- tite; but what will please you most. Is that you will feel that your stomach and intestines are clean and fresh. and You will not need to resort to Iaxa- tives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many DiaPepsin c~anks as some Speople will call them, but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation .tee, if y6u ever try a. little for indigestion or gastritis or any other stomach misery. Get some now this min ute, and for ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and indigestion.

LYNcHINe DECREASED.

Despite he attitude which Governor Blease of South Carolina has taken in behalf of lvnching and defiance of the law. it is refreshing that better iudg- ment should be gaining control throughout the country and that lynch ing is decreasing. This decrease is attributable to the influence which public sentiment has caused against such mob rule rather than any effect which lynchiEg may have had upon init crimes from which lynching might result. This is noticeable among the southern states where lynching held 64 had the smallest number of lynch and since a record has been kept it was the smallest in point of number except one.
 Many states wherein lynch law has prevailed are showing marked inn provement as conditions are changing therein. There should be a co1tinua- tion of this sentiment for the purpose of permitting the dealing out of jus tice to criminals through the courts Public sentiment can accomplish great good when 1t is properly applied and the progress which it is making de- serves to be aided in every way Lynching is against civilization against the interest of good govern ment and an overriding of the law which the forces at work in the south are apparently making good progress against. All the country will welcome the continuance of the reform.

OPEN SEASON FOR DEER.

It isn't surprising that the deer had no friends before the fish and game committee at Hartford when bill providing for an open season was given 8 hearing. The deer has increased SC rapidly through the protection which the legislature has given them that they have become a nuisance through out the towns of the state and do no end of damage to the growing crops. It is a pretty sight to see them in the fields or bounding about over walls and fences for those who may not be the losers by their plundering. but it is naturally disQuieting for the farm CTS to have them raise havoc with their gardens and destroy produce whether 1t be for home consumption or marketing This explains the lack of friends for the deer. The protec- tion given the deer has been in vitation to come in and help himself which he has unanimously accepted.
 Care needs to be taken in the fixing of the open season to see that neces- sary restrictions are placed upon the hunters and their firearms for the pro lection of the people. Massachusetts during it's open season experienced a numbte of shooting affairs which show that everyone who goes gunninS IS not a marksman and that the additional attraction of hunting big game is go- ing to send many into the country who have little or no knowledge of firearms and their carrying capacity, which coupled with the fact that the deer are to be found close to habita- tions makes the danger apparent.

VANDALISM.

Such vandalism S was displayed on the Gettysburg battlefield when DOT .tions of the monuments erected there, in memory of many of the regiments which participated in that great en- gagement, were broken off and ire parably damaged deserves punishment that will not only deter the guilty one from any more such acts, but such that will he a lesson for the guidance of all others in the future. Why any
 one should possess such hatI ed for works of art as to desire to deface them is not understandable, but though such a feeling may exist there should be respect enough for those in whose memory the monuments or memorials them. Such acts are dep1orable wher- ever they occur and there is a lack of patriotism in addition in this instance.
 Every chip knocked off those monu- ments means a blow to the members of those regiments both living and dead, the preservers of the nation. The systematic manner in which it was done indicates that it was not any thoughtless action, but malicious nu- tilation and coming at this time with the ssemblage of the veterans at the battlefield not far off, the intent of the act becomes plain. The cu1prit sought to show his contempt for the old soldiers and thereby struck a blow at national pride which carries sting

,ETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The PIainfieId Library.

Mir. Editor: What has become of the old Plainf1eld library? Some twenty years ago we had a fair sized library for country village and a good book case in the post office. Now the village is three times as large as then and the books are doing no one any good and the people who cannot afford to buy the best books are reading trash or nothing. The Sunday school H- brary Is not large and many of the books of biography, travel and his tory in the old library would be help ful to our school chillren- If the books are not to be used a library why not add those suitable to the Sunday school and public school li braries and sell the others and use the money for some helpful cause. Our town can support moving pictures, pool rooms and entertainment of all kinds and a library would not be big ex- pense as~we have the books and book case Who will make a, move?

WOMEN OFFICIALS.

Chicago has recently placed woman in a branch of the juvenile court. with women court attendants for the pur- pose of getting at the real facts if possible in the many cases in which young women are concerned. In New York city Mrs. Belmont and others are endeavoring to have women placed on the police force that they can bet ter do the duty which is required of the guardians of the unprotected bet ter than men, when the cases concern women.
 In behalf of this plan the New York Post takes a sensible view when it says With Mrs. Belmont's plea for police-wome we find ourselves in general sympathy, Even if it were not a question of handling women of lenders women detectives could be used most effectively in tracing male wrongdoers: as matter of fact, one woman detective has already rendered valiant service in this city. But the special classes of crimes affecting wo- men do emphatically call for police officials of their own sex. Tn the west where policewomen have been tried they have been reported to have been uniformly successful. Anyone who has been In the night court and has pondered upon the situation there. where women degraded by men are arrested by men and arraigned and judged by men. must feel the need of a greater representation of women on the w-enforcing side of our ma chinery of justice"
 Those familiar with the import ant question may be the best judges but it would appeal to reason that with specialization in other branches being a success, it might well be tried in that direction which surely needs a betterment. It would take but short time to demonstrate the value or the fallacy of the plan.
