more attractive, more profitable and less dangerous means of interesting the boys. "Making home attractive" won't do it. The average boy refuses to see anything attractive enough about his own home to beguile him from the companionship of his pals. He is a gregarious animal, and if his com panions frequent the street corners, there will he be also. If they go to worse places, he is with them. Now if some place is provided and equipped with means of profitable entertainment that will prove more attractive to the boys than their accustomed haunts, they will surely find it, and just as surely profit by its influence.
 There is where the responsibility of the men and women comes in. AS "Truth in Chunks" says, the rules of moral conduct are not made by the boys and girls-the adults have duty which they may not safely shirk. This has reference solely to the boys case-we don't know so much about the girls, though as long as human mater is human mater, the boys and girls, at that age, will just naturally come together if they are not kept apart, and we believe splendid results have grown out of the organized work of some of our Canaan ladies in the in- terest of the young girls.
 The Boy Scouts organization seemed to provide an effective means of eDter- tainment and recreation for boys, but apparently it has petred out, not so much from lack of interest on the part of the boys themselves, as from lack of moral support and encouragement on the part of the elders. And it is too bad; for never was there a more merit orious movement for the welfare of the rising generation, or one that operated in a more practical way to solve the problem of making useful and desirable citizens out of the average boys. And it is humiliating to admit that while the Boy Scouts are rapidly spreading all over the country, and growing i'll strength and public esteem in every town, big and little, where they are instituted, Canaan allows them to lapse and languish for want of recognition.

Bull-Fight Tragedies,

Bull fights in Madrid have been marked by two tragedies recently, one of them very unusual character.
 During an exhibition by amateurs a bull which had been severely wounded by toreador was writhing in agony when a matador approached to attack it with short sword. In his struggles the wounded animal knocked the sword out of the matador's hand and sent it flying over into the public enclosure, where it struck spectator in the chest killing him on the spot. The victim of the second tragedy was Migul Freg, the Mexican toreador, who was overtaken in the ring and gored by bull. He died in the hospital shortly afterward.

Now there is a red hot discussion on, as to whether or not General Sherman really said "War is hell. ;" And singu- larly enough, disputants on both sides of the controversy quote the alleged identical letter written by Sherman, to prove their contention. One side makes the letter use the words, "War is hell ' while the other side quotes it without that vehement expression. It seems now to be an open question, Did Sherman say "War is hell ?' Ii he didn't, his fame is shining with a lustre that belongs to somebody else.

For the eleventh consecutive time the republicans of the Fourth district have nominated Ebenezer J. Hill, of Norwalk, for Congress. He was nomi- mated and elected the first time in 1894, and served nine terms in succession before he was defeated, in 1912, by the present congressman from that district, Jerry Donovan, democrat, also from Norwalk. It seems probable that Con- gressman Donovan will be renominated by the democrats, and the Hill SUD- porters claim that in view of Jerry's s record in the House, Hill will have a walk-over in the second round.

Another bright newspaper man gets his. Genial Jimmy McGovern, of the Bridgeport Farmer is nominated by the President to be collector of customs for District No. 6, which embraces the state of Connecticut. The job carries compensation of about $6, 900 year which may or may not be in advance of his salary on the Farmer-and is good for four years. This instance is one in which good thing comes to man who is big enough to handle it, though it is another case of taking a good man out of the ranks of newspaperdom, which has lost lot of good men ill the same way, of late.

Former U. s. Patent Commissioner John s. Seymour, of Norwalk, is out for the democratic nomination for the United States Senatorship.
