The New Haven

One of the most important considera- tions to the welfare of New England is the health of the New Haven road. Some evil persons have tried to hold up the road as an alien corporation, which Is trying to do business in this state at our expense. Instead of that it is a Connecticut owned institution, the stock of which is owned by the men and women ofthe commonwealth.
 We venture to say that over S2,000,- 600 of New Haven stock Is held by the Merlden banks. What is true of Meri- den is also true in proportion of every town and city in the state. When the stock of the road flnctuates as 1t has recently, il means great difference in value for the thousands of holders.
 President Mellen Is no grisly ogre who would destroy the state or depre- ciate the holdings of the people of the state in this road. He is a man who Is doing great things under difficulties and who is having his path made hard by interruptions men who are work ing for their own gain.
 We believe that if he be given the opportunity he will put the New Ha- ven road more securely on it's feet than 1t has ever been before. We believe that he will restore faith in himself and in his efforts If he but be permit ted.
 Every man who is interested in the welfare of his community, who wishes the state to do progressive things, must see that opposition to the efforts of President Mellen will only endanger their own prosperity and that Of every community in Connecticut. Let us all stand by him and by the road.

Putnam a Trade Center

Putnam is the natural trading center for the surrounding country covering a large area. We believe that it is the exclusive market for much of this ter ritory while on the outskirts 1t divides with Danielson and Webster.
 The Webster Business Mems Asso. ciation talked of au endeavor to reach Woodstock and Thompson trade, at a recent meeting, believing they can at- tract more of it by special effort. This progressiveness Is laudable and 1t is one of the purposes of such an organi- zation, but while we praise The effort we do not believe .that Putnam will sit idly by and see their trade going elsewhere.
 We believe that Putnam has as good stores as can be found in any small city. Our merchants are progressive and strive to make their stores attrac. tive. They keep in touch with the market eenters and keep their stocks up to date and serve their patrons faithfully and honestly. We believe that their efforts are appreciated as the out.of-town trade is loyal to this mar ket and IS increasing with the growth of the outlying districts, While spe. cial occasions for calling traders to a city are an advertisement and help boom business spasmodically, good re- liable merchandise at reasonable paices, sold in attractive stores by courteous clerks, year after year, is the one best drawing card that will get and hold trade.
 Unless our sister town in the Bay State can surpass us in this respect we believe they will be unable to make any inr0ad on our established trade. Nevertheless it is well to know what others are doing and not lose sight of what we have and being blind 10 the fact that 1t is necessary to keep abreast of the times in this husthng twentieth century.

Tax Commissioner corbin Remains

The confirmation by the legislature Of Governor Baldwinis appointment of Tax Commissioner Corbin for another term will be received with gratilica- ton throughout the state. Mir. Cor bin has made an excellent official and has greatly enhanced the importance and workings of his department to the benefit of the state. The Governors appointment is a recognition of faith ful and valuable services and in mak- ing the appointment he declared that he was not the governor of the Demo- cratic party, but was governor of the whole state of Connecticut, and unless q better man than MT. Corbin could be found for the position he believed it his duty to retain him. MT. Corbin appeared in Putnam and addressed the business mems association on the subject of taxation. His address was very interesting and created new in- tefest in the matter and the Tax Com missioner left very favorable im- pression in the minds of those who heard him, both as to his official ca pacity and as man.

The fourth entertainment in the lec- ture course was given Tuesday eyen- ing by the Clark College Musical clubs. An audience that filled the church au- ditorium evidenced the anticipation of fine entertainment, and the enthusi- asm with which the entire program was received gave ample proof of sat islied expectations. The work of the Glee tclub was exceedingly good, the voices we'll balanced, and every num- Der number given with an enthusiasm that was inspiring. The mandolin club gave pleasing selections in both an excellent baritone solo. F. l.. Saw yer, the reader of the club, was fa- vorite with the audience, receiving a triple encore on his last number. The male quartette gave two selections, and delighted the audience. Every num- Der on the program was encored, the glee club medley receiving a triple en- core. Director Harris and Manager Bells can be sure that the work of the clubs Is highly appreciated in Putnam.
 Previous to the concert the choir en- tertained the College clubs and the or chestra that assisted in the Easter mu- sic, at supper in the gymnasium, sixty being seated at the tables. The meal was thoroughly enjoyable to guests and hosts, college songs enlivening the hour, and at the close choir and clubs were well acquainted.
 The supper was served under the di- rection of Mrs. A. l.. Mansfield, NJ rs. F. J. Daniels, and Mrs. +. W. Wright.
