THE WAR TAX.

Tuesday, the first day of December, the emergency war tax bill went into effect, and there was scurrying to get the necessary stamps on the part of druggists, merchants, and corporations affected by the law. The stamps are thus far procurable only through the internal revenue collectors office, at Hartford, where $50,00O worth were sold the first day. It is expected to raise about $10O, 900, 900 in revenue from this war tax. The tobacco, beer and wine tax went into effect Novem- Der 1, the remaining provisions De- cember 1, including taxes on bankers, pawnbrokers, proprietors of theaters in- cluding motion picture houses, owners of circuses and other shows, perfumes, cosmetics, chewing gum and similar articles; commercial papers of all de- scription, steamship tickets parlor car seats and sleeping car berths and tele- phone and telegraph messages where the charge exceeds 15 cents. Stamps in denominations of from $5 to one cent are affixed to these articles.

Letters From the People
Why Not |?

To the Editor of The News:
 It would seem that with the numer- ous poultry raisers and fanciers, with pens of excellent stock, located in this section of Litchfeld County. Poultry and Pigeon Association would promote added interest to the raising of more and better poultry. True, there are but few who have the stock or time to try for the Madison Square end of it, yet the interest shown in raising the standard of-lpoultry raising, as evi- denced blythe many yards of good clean stock of different breeds, would indicate the keen interest taken, and that society organized for the purpose would be an assured success. What better spot, more centrally located, with ease of access from all points, than Canaan? A. ;. D.

 No wonder some of the Japanese newspapers are not taking kindly to the re election of Governor Johnson in Cali fornia. There is no question that Johnson is aggressive and a trouble breeder.

 Because they polled less than 10 per cent. of the total vote cast in the last election the progressives cease to be d party legally recognized by the state.

Graves tor Suffrage.

To the Editor of The News:
 Representative Graves has been visit ed by suffragist and anti ufragist leaders from Hartford to find how he stands, or where he stands on the votes for women question. The ex-presidents of Canaan Franchise League have also visited him. He is going to stand firm for suffrage. This brings us to another point. An anti suffragist somewhere in the state has declared that suffrage in Connecticut is dead" Not dead, my dear lady, nor even sleeping. There may be dead heads or sleepy heads in the suffrage ranks as well as in all other organizations in Connecticut, but do not fall asleep yourself, dear anti, on the fallacy that suffrage is dead, when every year adds one or two or more states to the Equal Suffrage Union. Every little helps and some not far dis tant day there will be suffrage land slide in the eastern states. Don't for get that now New York will be a suf- frage state inside of three years and then the landslide will beign.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1914
THE HOUSE OFFICERS.

It seems to be an understood thing that the next speaker of the House of Representatives will be Frank Healy, of Windsor Locks, who was at one time state tax commissioner. This was one of the ante-election predictions of the inside prophets, and the fact that the supposed competitors for the position are layin' low and singing small, would seem to indicate that they recognize the handwriting on the wall and con- sider the matter as good as settled. Healy's candidacy for representative was endorsed by the democrats of Windsor Locks, which ranked in the breasts of the old timers and elicited from the Hartford Times the caustic inquiry whether Windsor Locks did not have a democrat competent to represent the town. He has had large experi- ence in legislation, is fighter and was the republican leader in the last gen. eral assembly. Among the prominent republicans who have been mentioned for the speakership of the next house is Col. w. H. Hall, of Wilmington, who thought he ought to have had it during the last session and Col. Robert O. Eaton, of North Haven, who has just relinquished the collectorship of in- ternaI revenue. It is understood that both these gentlemen concede the prob able election of MT. Healy.
 The assistant clerkship of the House, admittedly the first rung of the ladder that leads to eventual power and promi- nence-Healy started his career as as- sistant clerk, as did George E. Hinman, the newly elected attorney -general-is another berth that must be filled by the incoming body, and particular interest attaches to the election at this time for the reason that after Attorney Freddy Baker of New Haven, had apparently got the job c1nched, along comes Mike Kenealy's son Matthew, as a candidate, and by the magic of his fathers name puts an entirely new aspect upon the outlook. The son of Mike Kenealy evershadows even Freddy Baker who had conducted what looked like a win ming campaign, and the wise ones ad- init that if Young Kenealy is seriously in the contest, the prestige of his

The Modern Girl.
We knock and criticise her, We scold, apostrophize her, Wa wish that shn upnra xxyisar

We knock and criticise her, We scold, apostrophize her, We wish that she were wiser, More capable and kind. Her path we're always stalking, To criticise her talking, Her clothes, her way of walking, Her manners and her mind. We say, 70, highty-tighty! She's frivolous and flighty, And all her ways are mighty Undignified to see. She dances and she charters, Our golden rule she shatters, And laughs at serious matters With unabated glee! We chide and we correct her, We shadow and detect her, We study and dissect her, With all her smiles and tears. And find, on looking OCT her (And learning to adore her) She's just like girls before her, For twenty thousand years!

The Peace-Pact.

They were foes as they fell in that frontier fight
 They were friends as they lay with their wounds unbound, Waiting the dawn of their last morn ing light. It was silence all, save shuddering sound From the souls of the dying that rose around; And the heart of the one to the other cried,
 AS closer they drew and their arms enwound, "There will be no war on the Other Side" AS the souls of the dying mounted high
 It seemed they could hear the long farewell Then together they spake, and they questioned why Since they hated not-why this evil befell? And neither the Frank nor the Ger man could tell Wherefore themselves and their coun- trymen died.
 But they said that Hereafter in peace they should dwell .... "There will be no war on the Other Side" As they lsnguished there on that field accursed, With their wounds unbound, in their mortal pain, s# Spake one to the other, "I faint from thirstl'' And the other made answer, "What drops remain
 In my water flask thou shall surely strainp AS he lifted the flask the other re- piled, .... "I pledge thee in this till we meet again ..-#a.. There will be no war on the Other Sidel" ss And it came to pass as the night wore deep
 That fever through all their veins was famed, =4 So that visions were theirs, (yet not from sleep,) ... And each was flown to his own loved land. #*& But, rousing again, one murmured, "Thy hand Thou art my brother-naught shall divide; Something went wrong but un- derstand. . There will be no war on the Other Side"
 ENvoI. Comrades of peace, we can give but our tears AS we look on the waste of the hu- man tide #* Yet forever one cry so haunts my ears There will be no war on the Other Sidel Edith M. Thomas, in N. Y. T mes. Judge-"The prisoner claims that he footed his horn before he ran over you"
 Complainant (much damaged)-- May be he did, your honor; but what good is that when car is travelling faster than sound ?"-Boston Trans cript.
