constitution of the United States is that this method confers upon three fourths of the states the requisite congressional action having been had the power to coerce and force their ideas upon the remaining one-fourth of the, states. The ideas of the pro- ponents and advocates of the amend ments may be utterly unfitted for the situation and environments of the other e-quarter of the states. This would result in an utter extirpation oi the prisciple of home rule which is. and ought to be, so dear to the heart of every self-respecting and ipdepnd- ent citizen.'
 I still entertain the opinion above expressed.
 I believe that the people of Connec- ticut are perfectly competent to de- termine the question of whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be man of the state of Connecticut.
 the centfA1 government at Washington should determine this question for them. think the eleetors of this state are better qualified to determine this question for themselves than is the congress of the United States, and I think they ought to be allowed to do so.
 Therefore, if I shall be elected to succeed myself in the senate of tne United States, I will not support the so-called Sheppard Hotsoh biIl-on the contrary, if it comes to a vote, I shall vote against it. I am,
 Very respectively yours,

Roberts is teacher, will be perman- ently closed this CFrday) afternoon. This has been brought about by the removal from the district of five of the seven children who have been at tending school there. Only two child ren. remain and arrangements will be made whereby the education of these will be continued.
 During the past summer the town school committee practically decided to close this school and send the children of the district to East Kill ing1y. This plan, considered advisa- ble from many standpoints, was final ly abandoned after hearing the earnest pleas of residents of the Sparks neigh borhood and their claims of a prob able increase this year in the attend ance over last year. When the school reopened in September the usual num- Der of pupils appeared, and no more. Now five of these have gone from the district, so arguments of better educa- tfonal facilities at East Kllfngfy that went for naught at the time are now made effective, for those who remain, as the result of an unexpected turn of affairs.

THINKS CONNECTICUT PEOPLE
 COMPETENT TO DECIDE
Senator Rrandesee Would Not Vote
 for Sheppard Hobson Bill.

In an answerto letter from a New Haven man. inQuirtng his attitude on the Sheppard-Hobson bill Senator Brandegee says he believes the peo- pie of Connecticut are perfectly com- petent to decide whether or not liquor shall be sold in this state. |,
 He does not think that the central government in Washington should de- termine that question for them.
 He thinks the electors of this state question for themselves than is the congress of the United States.
 The senator's letter to J. H. Mans field of New Haven on this subject follows:
 2s4 Hampstead Street,
 New London, Conn,
 Oct. 26, 1914. J. H. Mansfield, Esquire, care of Con-
 necticut Christian Endeavor Union,
 New Haven. Conn.
 Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th instant, enclosing a clipping which you say is 2 copy of an open letter published in the Times-Leader, and stating that you await my answer, Is just received.
 The open letter in the Ttmes-Leader states that your societies feel that they have g. right to ask my opinion on the so-called Sheppard-Hobson bill for the submission to the state of consti- tutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating fiouors as a beverage. You ask me in your own letter the following Ques- tion: twill you. if elected, support or oppose this legfslationr You also state that you trust you may be fa- vored through the columns of the New Haven Times-Leader with g. frank statement Of my position.
 Replying to the above request would state that infer from your inquiry that you did not read my ad- dress to the Republican state conven- ton, which was published in the press of the state on Sept. 10, 1914. In that address I stated as follows: Tt is evident therefore that the framers of the constitution designed tC provide for it's amendment in case oi real necessity, but intended to dis courage the frequent and easy amend ment of this great fundamental frame | work of our government The very | fact, however, that it is somewhad difficult to get an amendment into the constitution, involving as 1t does tht affirmative action of two-thirds oi | both houses of congress and the rati- | fication thereafter by the legislatures oi | three-fourths of the several states, en- courages the advocates of some meas ures to use every effort to get theil proposition imbedded in the copsti' | tuition of the United States. because | they see if 1t once could be placed here l it could be removed with equal diff ficulty and by the same process.

HOW GERMANS FAILED
 TO CAPTURE WARSAW.
After Making a Remarkable Advance, They Delayed Attack Until Morn ing.

don. 5:07 D. m-Reliable information
 received here from Warsaw, giving
 detailed history of the attempted Ger
 man advance in Russian Poland, says
 that the Russian generals are abso-
 luteIy at a loss to explain what they
 cal la German error in delaying a night
 attack until the opportunity was lost.
 At the same time, however, the
 Russian generals who always are
 always frank in admitting the achlev-
 ments of the enemy, express admira-
 ton of General Won Morgen's light
 ming advance of five German army
 corps over the difficult and swampy
 region approaching Warsaw from the
 southwest. The appearance or the
 Germans in this quarter was most un-
 expected since the German network or
 railway systems and the previously
 constructed platform for heavy guns pointed to the probability of a German advance from the northwest or west or from anywhere except the southwest The Germans made 8 grave error. it is asserted, in not pursuing the ad, vantage derived from their unexpected advance which would have enabled them to approach within eight miles of Warsaw without their presence be- ing made known.
 For unknown reasons the Germans suddenly decided to delay the attack until morning which allowed the Si- berian and other Russian reinforce ments adequately to protect the city. Papers found in the possession of Ger man officers indicate that the general plan was to attack Warsaw that night. One explanation for the change in the plan is that the Germans failed to secure the assistance of the Polish el- ernent upon which they had counted. The Russian generals also admire the Germans abrupt extrication when they found themselves outfianked, their -.troot batDc 90 complete and nreciO- itate that the Russians were unable to oyertake and engage the rear guard in action for several miles. The whole affair- including the whirlwind advance and retreat at present is a puzzle to the Russians
 The inhabitants of Warsaw say that the dropping of German bombs, which never were very damaging, now has ceased and, reassured by the presence report had reached Washington today

HAMPTON WIDOW
Fares Hard as Result of Compensation
 Act-Farners Against It

On the eve of election many. Wind dates for representatives in the state legislature if they are favorable to amendment of the workingmen's com- pensation act, which became effective last January. along lines that will re- lieve the farmer from some of the burdens it imposes on that class. Many agricultuTtsts are very bitter toward this piece of legislation and cite innumerable instances of the hardships it has worked upon them. Not a few of them state frankly that they have decided not to employ help needed to do work on their farms be- cause they cannot afford to pay the insurance required for the necessary protection against the operation of the act and dare not employ men with out the protection of insurance. #
 One of the innumerable cases men toned to show the effect of the act in farming communities is that of a Hampton widow. Alone on her little place. upon which she is entirely de- pendent for support, a man employed by her to chop wood severed toes as the result of a slip of his axe. She had no insurance to protect the em- ploye. As a result her little property pensatfon that the injured man Is entitled to receive, so relates a resi- dent of that section who was in the borough Tnurcday.
 The farmers want to know what their representatives are willing to do about changes in tho compensation law at the coming legislative session and they propose to find out before they accord candidates their support.

Rheumatism Soon
 Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing to Expel Poisonous
 Waste Matter.

Tired. overworl1ed kidneys allow poisonous uric acid to remain in the blood instead of expelling 1t from the system. That is the cause of chronic rheumatism. The disease gets into some joint or group of muscles and settles there, and only strenuous treatment will dislodge it.
 Rheuma softens the uric acid crys- tals lodged in the joints and muscles, causing the terrible pains, and passes them out of the system through the Kidneys and bowels.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. Unless it is pure the organs become diseased. Rheuma purifies the blood and the kidneys. then regain their natural activity.
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma at, a price so inexpensive that it is folly to be without it.
