 of license. The county court granted the license to Levy. The court held that while the court might have refused him the li- cense for good cause it could not adopt the policy of granting li- cense to others and arbitrarily refuse him, for such action would deny him a privilege given to others and would be in violation of the State Constitu- tion.
 "In the act under consideration members of the colored race are not excluded from engaging in the business of selling intoxicat- ing liquors upon the same terms as members of the white race. The act under consideration pro- vides that the county court may issue license when a majority of Ithe white adult inhabitants of an incorporated town or city shall have signed a petition ask ing that license be issued, pro- vided that a majority of the votes cast at the last general e. lection were for license.
 DUTIES OF COUNTY COURT.
 Tt will be noted that the coun- l ty court is not required to even then issue license, but it may do so if the conditions prescribed by the statute are complied with. AS we have already seen the statute requiring that license should only be issued on the re- eommendation of property hold CTS, taxpayers and heads of fam lilies, etc., have been sustained.
 If the position assumed by the counsel for appellee is cor rect such statute would be open to the objection that the class of signers which are designated are given privileges and immuni- ties which are not granted to other citizens. The lawmakers are presumed to be familiar with moral conditions as they exist in this State and to know what class of citizens could best give proper information as to the evils that might result from the liquor traffic. The lawmakers doubtless thought that the class designated in the statute knew best whether the granting of li- cense to sell intoxicating liquors would be dangerous to the mor- als of the community and like { ly to result in injury.
 Such action on the part of the legislature did not give the per- sons designated in the statutes a privilege, but only imposed a condition upon the traffic in in- toxicating liquors.
 We are of the opinion that it is well settled by the courts of 1 the country that the statutes imposing conditions on the bus mess of retailing liquors, through such conditions may be more onerous than those impos- ed upon other businesses, and though such conditions may be so burGensome as to render the business unprofitable and on that account in it's practical results to prohibition may be sustained because the business of selling intoxicating liquor more serious ly affects the health, morals and general welfare of the people than another business.
 Therefore we are of the opin- lion that the act under consider ation is not unconstitutional, but lis a valid exercise of the legisla- tive power. It follows that the judgment of the circuit court must be reversed and the I cause will be remanded for fur.

CONSUL EAGER GODFATHER.
To First Full 5looded American Indian Baby Ever Born in Germany-odd Experience of Norwich Man.

United States Consul George E. Eager of Barmen. Germany, formerly of Norwich. whose wife was Miss Ruth Spalding of East Norwich, figured in an interesting ceremony July 4th. A special from Berlin to Tuesdays New York Times said:
 The first full blooded American In dian ever born in Germany has just seen the light of day near Dortmund. Westphalia- The child's father is a Sioux Indian from the Pine Ridge agency, William Bear Shield, and the mother is Mary Bear Shield. The fa- ther is now in America, but the mother is member of an Indian troupe tour ing Germany with a circus.
 The birth took place in typical American prairie wagon while the troupe was en route from Dortmund to Recklinghausen.
 The mother was anxious that her little papoose. which is a girl, should be duly registered in the German rec ords as an American citizen and a Christian. To that end she sought the nearest American consul, George Eu- gene Eager, who represents the United States at Barmen.
 The baby was born on June 29 but as the Fourth of July was approach ing the baptism was deferred until then. MT. Eager stood as godfather for the child, who was ehristened Maria Consula-

EXHIBITION OF SALMON
 KILLED BY MIR. MITCHELL.
Will Be Displayed in Window of the Porteeus & Mitchell Go. This After noon.

An exhibition that will be of great interest to all anglers as we'll as to the general public will be made this after
 noon from to o'clock in the dis play windows of the Porteous & Mitch- ell Co and will consist of eleven sal- mon recently killed by MT. Mitchell on his fishing preserve on the Resti- gouche river, New Brunswick, Canada The smallest fish in the exhibit will weigh IS pounds and the largest will weigh 31 pounds. This was the largest fish killed at the club this season.
 With the fish there will be a display of salmon flies. including the fly on which the three largest fish in the ex- hibit were taken. It is known as the Mitchell fly. a No. 8. with double Pen nel-eyed hook, and was originally tied by MT. Mitchell. after whom 1t was named. 1t has become one of the stan dard salmon flies and will be found in about every expert anglers collection.
 All of the fish to be exhibited were brought to net instead of being gaffed, which improves the appearance of the salmon. besides being more sportsman like The practice of gaffing has been entirely abandoned at Runnymede Lodge camp, where MT. Mitchell fishes. although the gaff is still used at near ly all the other camps on the river.

BRANDECEE FOR THIRD TERM
Conneccuts Conservative Senator Has Personality Inviting to the Voters of the State Well Enviable Record Behind Him, Writes Washington Correspondent Fills Platt's Shoes.

Washington correspondent, John Lo- rance, of the Boston Evening Record. writes the following interesting article on United States Senator Prank B. Brandegee of Connecticut:
 New England will elect only three United States senators in the coming election. and the gratifying news is re- ceived that Senator Brandegee is prac- tically assured of being returned for a third term. Six months ago his pros poets were not regarded as over bright. It was, to be sure, true that he was certain of nomination by the Repub- ncans at the primaries and no one has since announced himself as 8 competing candidate but the Republi- can outlook at the time was not gen. erally encouraging
 Business conditions have affected Connecticut industries hard, and this Is expected to be a telling factor in the Connecticut elections in favor of the Republican ticket, and especially the senatorial sections of 1t, fer in the canvass Senator Brandegee will pre- sent himself as a conservative. and a proud one at that, one who has never changed his coat to serve a passing popular whim, and fnasmuch as radi- calisu Is blamed more than anything else for the present unsatisfactory bus mess conditions. it Is believed Senator iDkdAdEEb6 VIII l0Ok d rNCEy AnNALAh8 personality to the voters of Connecti- cut with which to rebuke the propo- nents of radicalism.
 Senator Brandegee Is relatively a young man. capable of hard work, and a hard worker indeed, and an effective worker he has demonstrated
 He was called upon to fill the place of the great Senator Orville H. Platt, a trying proposition. and of course. at first the senator suffered by compari- son. But he has grown into the shoes more quickly than anyone dared to expect, and he especially grew during the Taft administration when he was taken into the coterie of Republican leaders, and became a leader of them even. Today there is no more infiuen- tial member on the Republican side than Brandegee.
 More recently he has faced greater opportunities. and has met them with power Two years ago he opposed free Panama canal tolls, and as a member of the interoceanic canals coD Dmlttee he was to the fore<1n supporting the repeal bill this year. This involved 8 great deal of work. He figured in the debates, and always contributed some thing new in the discussions and in ar original way. But there was more interstate commerce committee and as such has figured in the discussion oi 1 the antitrust program. and especially on the interstate trades commission bill and in the railroad securities bill

GENUINE ECZEMA REMEDY New Remedy that HeaIs Eczens
 Quickly.

I Lee and Osgood have sold hundreds of jars of Hokara and although they offered to refund the purchase price to any dissatisfied purchaser not one jar has been returned
 While this is surprising in itself, yet the most marvellous thing is the re- ports of chronic cases of eczema that have been cured by this simple skin food. People who have suffered with scales. seabs and even bleeding itching have found relief in Hokara
 No matter where the eczema pim- pies or other breaking out occurs, whether on the face. hands legs or body. the application of Hokara should give quick relief, and even the worst or most chronic eases should be cured in a short time.
 You can buy a liberal-sized far to- day at the very low price of 25c. and with every package goes The Lee and Osgood Co.'S guarantee to refund the money if it is not satisfactory.

TELEPHoNEE EEMPLoYEs ORGANIZE
Eastern Connecticut Men in Meehan- ieal Department Affiliate With Elec- trieaI Workers Union.

Another accession to the forces of unionism in this section is stated to be the organizing of the employees of the Southern New England Telephone com- pany In eastern Connecticut. It is un- derstood that at least 100 out. of the 150 workmen employed in the district have affiliated with the Electrical Workers union. A meeting for the purpose of organization was held a few days ago in Norwich. While little was given out concerning the session it was stated by local telephone worker that the union was formed and that by virtue of the national bylaws it had to have 100 members to receive a charter.
 Operators in the exchanges of the district are not included in the organ sfzation- Only those employed in the mechanical department are eligible. Eastern Connecticut is said to be the only section of the state in which the telephone employees were not organized before.

He Is a member of the judiciary com mittee, before which is the Clayton anti trust bill. and thus again he Is connected with this most important legislation in congress So the sena- tor has been and. is very busy man. When he is not on the floor of the senate, he is in one of the busy com mittee rooms.
 Senator Brandegee has steeped him- self with information. on subject on which the senate wants light and as he takes the safe and sane and con- servative side, it is felt that his ob
 servations are of the utmost import ance. He is in fact one of the conser- vative leaders if not the conservative leader in the senate on business legis- lation
 Moreover ne has aeveleped greatly as a ready debater. He Is sure of his feet, and while not shewy, commando attention by what he says and this he always dees in the simplest and most direct manner. Furthermore, he is fearless, and for this and other req sens. nc one in the senate is more re- speQted as R debater than Brandegee. He has the additionally happy faculty of being able to debate in the senate without having previously printed gall
 leys in the way of speech. emptyinE the senate of listeners. Brsndegee can
 be depended upon to sit down when he
 is through saying what he has in mind, without mulling 1t over again. So what is transpiring in Connecti-
 cut Is received with qualification. Ap- parently there is to be no cutting loose from old moorings and habits which have made the state of service to the nation and influential in the only way it seems capacitated for doing, for the power and ability of the state to occupy high station in national execu- | tive administration seem to have be- come atrophied.
 Who Senator Brandegee's Democra- | tic competitor will be is not as yet clear, according to accounts. Since the Democratic prospects have d1mmed | there does not seem to be the same energetic maneuvering to win noted some time ago. Congressman Mahar | of New London. Senator Brandegee's
 home town, has had aspirations to be- come senator, but of course he would rather remain in the house than be a | defeated candidate How eagerly he wants to be the Democratic candidate
 is declared not known at peesent. Gov l ernor Baldwin would also like the to- ga. and would make a most creditablt | representative in the senate from the | Nutmeg state, which has sent Baldwin I to the senate before him, but it is said 1 that he has greatly offended the Dem l ocratic state politicians by appointing I Republicans to office, and so they | would like to compass a disappoint- ment for him even in the nomination | stage.
