Everybody talkin' war-just yop. come
 with me Where the red-cheeked apples shine on
 the winesap tree. Just come out to take the mile That leads to country day, And let them fuss and fight and bile, We'll hear what Gods things say. Everybody talkin' war-it's time to

Down where there is no bloody strife, No hate and dread and tears But everything so glad of life That it dances and it it cheers. Everybody talkin' war-and what good does it do? Just come with me where violets peep and skies are bendin' blue. Just come out to grass and tree And babbling brook and stream, Where Gods things dwell in all the glee

Letters From the People
Aristocracy.
Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Afistocracy-What is it? What did it spring from? Fifty or sixty years ago we hardly ever heard this word spoken. From the plutocrars anu big heads of the earth this meaning was derived. Aristocrats. piutOcrats and autocrats, all meau one and the same thing. They do not desire the peoples rule; they only want the rich and powerful to have u&y authority in governmental affairs. Their dear wish is be the whole thing. There are big and little autocrats. 1 wilt mention a lew of the big ones: King Edward, the Car of Russia, the Emp.rOrs of Japan and Germany and Teddy Roosevelt. Ie wanted to be the big autocrat or America, but the people failed to come under his banner at the snap of his fingers or menace of the big stick. General Grant was the first aristocrat that I ever thought about, previous tJ T. R's. time. He got too big for his clothes and salary. He made the people believe he could not live and keep house on $25, 900 year, although MT. Washington and others before his time had managed to keep the wolf from the door and save something for a rainy day. Since that time our presidents have had to scrape along the best they could on $50, 900 a year, until our am- bilious and promising Teddy arrived on the scene with his big stick and big aspirations and , expectations. He declared up hill and down, that he could not get on ahd pay his travelling expenses on his measly salary and keep up the appearance of an aristocrat, no how. So the good patriots of this country voted him S25, 1000 to buy his railroad tickets. see there is great many good patriots in this money mak- ing country that are very eager to get into some office where they can effect lots of good things for the people, but after they attain their desiaethey seem to be more interested ill travelling about eating big dinners and putting on style and getting thelr pay raised.
 You don't see many aristocrats in the socialist party, think that is the party for yours truly,

Too Much Cavity.

One afternoon an esteemed citizen went into a barber shop to have his briers reaped but no sooner had he taken a seat in one of the chairs than he dropped off into heavy slumber. Apparently the shave artist was having his own troubles in manipulating the customer, and he thoughtfully paused.
 Excuse me, sir, !" said he, gently shaking the man in the chair, "but would you mind waking up? I can't shave you while you are asleep"
 Can't shave me while I'm asleep, V exclaimed the victim, with wondering expression. "Why not ?"
 Because" explained the barber as softly as possible, "when you fall into slumber your mouth opens SO wide that cant find your face. "-Philadelphia Telegraph.

POLITICAL BE ES.

The kettle is bilin' and politics is the absorbing topic of discussion, hold ing it's own upon the stage in spite of the compelling interest in the big war abroad. Notwithstanding the assurance given by Chairman Roraback, at the Bridgeport gathering of republicans, last Saturday, that the candidates would be nominated by the convention, the how-it-alls confidently make predic- tions of what the convention will bring forth, and the majority opinion seems to be that Judge W. F. Henney, of Hartford, will De the republican candi- date for Governor, though there are not lacking those who knowingly assert that the cohorts of former Lieutenant Governor Everett J. Lake, of the same city, will swoop down upon the conven- tion and stampede it, while others are equally confident that former It. Gov Dennis A. Blakeslee, of New Haven, whose promotion boom was ingloriously punctured two and four years ago, will demonstrate his ability to 'come back'' and claim his own
 There are dark horses galore, for every position on the ticket, from Governor down, including Editor George O. Woodruff, of the Litchfeld Inquirer, for Secretary of State, and Fred A. Scott, also of Litchfeld County, for Attorney General.
 The democrats have even more varied and imposing array of statesmen and paddock of dark horses, to select from. There is talk of Governor Bald win for third term, but His Excellency is said to discountenance the third term idea. and is credited with United States Senatorial aspirations. In this latter ambition he is up against Congressman Mahan, of the Second district, who has been conducting an effective personally conducted still-hunt and is thought to have the inside track.
 Lieutenant Governor Lyman Twin ing Tingier, of Rockville, is considered by many the logical candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, though he is evidently making no effort in his own behalf. He has the endorsement of Governor Baldwin, which ought to be of some effect-and the Tingier sentiment is said to be growing.
 Charles w Comstock, of Montville, former chairman of the democratic state committee, is an avowed candi- date, and being past master in the art of gumshoe politics, is believed to have already effected the stringing of a net work of wires over the state.
