We have written Colonel Roosevelt 1 that Westerly water makes the finest | foundation for sarsaparilla that we 1 know of Fresh off the ice and mer rily foaming, 1t makes a most tuneful drink.-New London Telegraph.
 As a rule. the horses driven by boys l and ignorant foreigners fare hard. 1 Think it over, MT. Horse Owner. Your 1 faithful, speechless helper looks to you 1 for the only reward life can give him Remember that in f1y-time !-Hartford 1 Post.
 | Many morals emerge from the turbid l sea of discussion over leWd dances, 1 suggestive songs and immodest attire. 1 but the most obvious is that 1t Is l good time to keep young people at l home and find them something better l than rags to think about.-Spring 1 field Republican.
 1 Good manners are to a certain ex- 1 tent taught even if indirectly. in all ] schools. To what extent this should be increased is a question for educa- tors to answer. but the teaching of politeness is certainly not ovefdone at the present time in the homes or else where.-W aterbury Republican. We trust under the prevailing condi-
 
 the armory bill. Certainly if Connecti- cut must get along with the roads it now has, the militia can get along with the armories they now have, es- pecially as there is some evidence that the legislators have sWapped off the roads for the armories.-New Haven Union.
 Colonel Roosevelt himself will have done a very important thing if, having established the truth in court as it re- lates to his private life. he now uses his experience on the one hand to avowedly illustrate the general integ- rity of our courts of law. and, on the other hand, to stand as an example Of moderate speech by which others, and the country in particular, may profit.

 This is a time for Yale men and YaIes friends to share in the hope and expectation of victory, to talk victory and believe victory. Life doesn't depend on that, to be sure, but it is permitted 10 encourage the crew to share in the good things which are coming to Yale's athletic organiza- tions on land. They are cheerful at Gales Ferry. we are told. Those at this end Should surely do their share. New Haven Register.
 Bridgeport's Board of Trade has done great work for the city. but the Board of Trade is a comparatively small institution. and it's success has been due almost wholly to the hard work of one or two untiring and public spirited citizens. Isn't it about time that the other citizens of Bridgeport who are interested in the city's well fare and want to see it take a leading place among the nations progressive cities should get together and do some of this work themselves ?-Bridgepo Telegram.
 If is no doubt an excellent thing for blind people to learn to dance. Dancing is wholesome exercise, and in dancing with seeing partners there should be no great difficulty in combining safety and recreation But why should th5 New York Association for the Blind give an exhibition Of it's blind pupils in the tango? That is what is an- nounced as coming. Probably the an- swer will be that if they can accom- plish the freedom of motion on the floor involved in that they will prove their whole case. but a good many conservative people would be quite satisfied with something that does not lend itself so easily to abuse.-Hart- ford Times.
 w We RIOry III CH0 SpuIlk OI lHe two Naugatuck reporters who, when asked if they would keep certain things out of their papers if they were allowed to remain at q meeting of investigation in that place, replied that rather than make such pledge they would prefer to be barred from the meeting. While the request made of them may not have been in the nature Of brtbe, it was an intimation that some public matters were To be considered that were to be kept from the public, orS that whiteWash was wanted instead Of the whole truth. The judgment of re- porters concerning what to print and what to omit is not always without error but the principle involved in the Naugatuck instance was worth stand ing up for. and we are glad to note the newspaper representatives in that instance stood firm. In no quicker, surer way can government be de- bauched than by the maintenance If secrecy in public matters. Ansonia Santin@s
