Not msuy years s2a fhe public was indifferent % tae mat. fer. lnasn8eh as faene seemed lg be ca a5andanee 8f sueh land and the oaa. CTS thereof uere not disposed fQ ore. vent the public ff9m making ase of ii.
 Today the situation is changed These lands haze been largely bought hg wealthy people and fhe public use thereof reaileted, f not altogether pro hi0lted. There are many tracts of land. Of little use for other purposes, w hleh have been for years the play. grounds of the people, bal which have nos become the private property Of other states.
 Our people welcomed such aequisi- lions when they were comparatively few in nnmber, but they have so In. creased as to alarm those who see in this development menace to the pub lie good. Il looks as though it would be bnf q very few years before the best of such tracts would be beyond the hope of public acquisition without heavy expense and prolonged liIiga- lion. if indeed that condition has not already arrived.
 The effort 10 save the state from this undssifable situation has taken the shape of an appointment Of A State Park Commission, with powers to puf- chase or receive by gift, properties which should be preserved for their aesthetic or historic interest.
 Unfortunately, The impoverished condition of the stale treasury prevent cd an adequate appropriation being made for the use of thee0mmission. IL is therefore not in ! position to acquire by purchase any large or expensive tracts. no matter how desirable they may be. However, the power vested in the commission of receiving gifts and devices in behalf of the state af- lords q splendid opportunity for pub. lie spirited men and women to become beneiaetors for all time of the people of Connecticut ana nearby states.
 Already one such gift has been made. The top Of Mt. Tom, near West Morris, LilehBeid county, was recently deeded to the state for park purposes by the estale Of the late Chas. II. Shelf Of New York city. It Is now in charge of the state forester, pending transfer to the commission.
 There are undoubtedly many others who are in A position To assist In the work of preserving for the use of pres- ent and future generations the many points of natural beauty and historic association in which the state abounds This object may he attained ty gift or bequest to the Park Commission, which by the perm iaent character of it's organizaH u t=su'es the donors that their wishes sill be properly and effectively carried out.

1t takes money to run Il war
even with II small country like
Spain and Mexico. During the
Spanish. American war all deeds,
mortgages, contracts, checks, and
many other things had to bear a
special tax to he legal. If we
have war with Mexico, the Gov
eminent will have to raise more
funds. 1t is therefore likely that
the stamp act will be with us a
gam, though it has been suggest
ed that the income tax on the
rich be doubled. This, it is
claimed, will meet the war ex.
penseS. BY all means, give us
the increase on incomes, as it is
so much more convenient to pay
it this way rather than by the
stamp route. 1t is so much
trouble to get the stamps and af-
fix them. We would so much
rather pay our share ali in a
lump through the medium of the
income tax.

"The American Pure Food
Company" is the name of anoth-
er disguised concern that is flood
ing the local postofiice with cir.
culars advertising whiskey in
great abundance. Such circulars
should not be allowed to be ma l.
ed. Whiskey is easily enough
located by anyone who wants to
drink it, without pursuing men
(who want to quit and have vOt-
ed 1t out of their way), with
glaring circulars of great claims
for their goods, and then it is ev-
en- worse when a concern is all
lowed to hound up men inclined
to live sober, by trying to influ-
ence them with. the style of the
firm "Pure Food Company"
when every body should know
that whiskey'is not a food, but a
poison which DESTROYS both the
soul and body of all men who are
unable to control it.

As we stated last week, we see
nothing to justify the loss of a
single life to maintain the digni-

case. War means the loss of life.
Then let us take it to ourselves
personally. Who Of US is it that
would give up father or son IN
cold death to make a weaker ma
tion salute the flag of this coun-
try? Plenty of people are will
ing to sacrifice life to protect the
dignity of the flag just SO long as
it is some other life. Would
President Wilson have walked
out and deliberately been shot
to death to make Huerta salute
the flag? If he would not, then
where is there a moral right of
his to require others to do so?

There is great opposition to j.
Campbell Cantrill for reelection

the Democratic papers of the dis

so long as he has been. But
then there are four more counties
In the district now than there
were before. 1t will be remem-
bered how he, fearing the vote of
these four counties, two years
ago, pulled off snap primary,
not waiting for the new primary
law to take effect, which did so
in August. He was afraid of us
