Broken Celumn. Repaired.

,WCrkmen under the direction of Con tractor Melvin E. Snow have succeeded in. repairing the granite column of the beautiful memorial fountain at the sonth tend of the Norfolk village green which was overturned and broken in twain on Thursday by the pole of a lumber wagon driven by Martin O'Connor. The fountain, which was designed by the late Stanford White, is one of the sights of the village and was presented to the town in 1889 by Miss Mary .Eldridge as a memorial to her uncle, Joseph Batteil:> Fortunately the fracture was nearly at right angles to the axis of the colGmn so that only about an inch of the granite had to be clipped away in order to make a good sjojnt. The capitol and the bronze figures -snrmounting the colnmn were Ot-seriously injured.

,Shor:t Sigh ted Policy.

MEs. Lila Ward McLain, of Hartford, native and former resident of Canaan, writes thus ito the Hartford Times:
 The fate of the woman'g reformatory bill, for which.SO many women through oGlt the whole state have been working diligently for two years and more, is ali example of the ,short sighted policy of our legislature and also of the fact that those who are sent to the assembly are ignorant of the real needs of nhe state.
 It was clearly demonstrated by the report of rthe special commission that not only weuld such an institution serve a great moral purpose but also work fo. economy in state admiDistra- tion On the line of economy alone this measure might well have gone through. A foolish and short sighted parsimony is blinding o1r legislators to the real issues and shutting us off from construction policy Tn political and social affairs. The repetition of these experiences is undoubtedly one of the reasons why many are turning hopefully toward woman's suffrage
 We are democracy and the success or failure of our government depends upon the voters and the class of people whom they choose to make laws for us. Unless there is radical change in the personnel of our state the rule of the people-and that is what democracy means-will be a far greater failure than the autocratic government of the czar.

Rockefeller Wins Tax Suit,


 John D. Rockefeller, Thursday won an important victory in his fight to prevent the collection of taxes of SSH, - 900, 900 in personal property by Cuya- hoga county, Ohio, when Judge John H. Clarke, in United States district court, in Cleveland, granted an in- junction sought by MT. Rockefeller to restrain the collection. The taxes sought to be obtained amounted to about $1, 300, 900 including a penalty of 90 per cent, for failure to pay whon due.
 The assessment, which is held in- valid, was made in February 1914, when tax commissioners served papers on the oil king, which alleged that he had remained in the county more than six months of the tax year, and, there- fore, under the Ohio law was a resident of Ohio for taxation purposes.
 Judge Clark, decided that Rocke- feller's contention that he intended to leave Cleveland in October, 1918, in- stead of remaining here until February 3, 1914, due to the illness of Mrs. and her sister. Miss Lucy Spelman, was valid excuse and did not make him an Ohio resident under the meaning of the law The suit will be carried to the United States circuit court of appeals.

Tribute to "Tom" Norton.

Mir. Robert Scoville has been elected president of the Robbins Burran Trust Co, at Lakeville, to succeed the late Thomas l.. Norton, and MT. Howard F. Landon succeeds Vice President Wm. Kane, resigned. MT. Norton's posi- tion as treasurer of the Salisbury Saw ings Society is filled by his son, Walter w. Norton.
 Tie directors of the latter institution passed resolutions as follows:
 After life of service, Thomas l.. Norton, who for nearly fifty years was connected with this Society, first as u clerk, and since 1870 as treasurer, deA parted this life on, April 25, 1915.
 Resolved, that we, the directors of the Salisbury Savings Society, desire first, to express our personal affection for him and our personal sense of loss at his death. He was beloved friend of each of us, and our grief at his loss overshadows our regret that the Saw. ings Society can no longer be under his very wise and successful management and direction. To his work and per sonality is due very largely the growth and success of the Society. He inspired at once unbounded trust and confidence, and never, in all his life, was such trust and confidence misplaced. AS a patriot, citizen, business man, and a friend he stood pre-eminent in this community. His loss is irreparable, his example inspiring, and his influence incalculable.

Postmaster Roberts has about com. pleted the improvements in the interior of the office and it is now as bright and clean and esthetic as the most exacting patrons can desire.
 The walls and ceiling of the office, both before and back of the partition, have been newly decorated in tints; the woodwork and wainscoting re-var- nished to a dazzle, the floor oiled; q swinging screen door sifts the air and the house flies that seek admittance; a small platform has been placed Tn front of the lock-box frame to enable sawed off holders to reach the highest tier, and there has been rearrange- ment of the furniture in the postmas- ter's office and new furniture and fix lures added. The establishment was never in better or more attractive con. dition.
 MT. Roberts is having a new sign of raised gilt letters, made by Artist Streck, which will go over the doorway an1 windows, and the half -obliterated letters on thewindows will be scratched off entirely. It is evident to all, criti. cal or otherwise, that Postmaster Rob- erts is "onto his job.

"Along the aisles of the church were stretched green vines re- lieved at even intervals with calla lilies tied with graceful bows of tulle. Quan- titles of white carnations and greens were banked on the chancel and in all made a pretty picture. Immediately after the ceremony the party motored to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, where an informal reception was held The couple will spend their honeymoon on Tthe other side of the island.''

Vogel's many friends in Canaan will congratulate him on his promotion, and will also congratulate TorringtOa on securing permanently the services of so well equipped an educator. Speak ing of the appointanent, the Torrington Register says:
 George J. Nogel was appointed superintendent of schools to succeed Dr. E. H. Forbes, at a meeting of the school committee Wednesday night. This action was taken on account of Dr. Forbes ill health. Recognizing the fact that Dr. Forbes has been associated with the Torrington schools for 29 years, and appreciating his great use fulness during that period both as an instructor and superintendent the cora mittee greatly regretted the necessity of the change but felt that under the circumstances there was no alternative.

Vagel served four years in state super visory work, his headquarters being in North Canaan and his position being chief inspector of supervisor.

 Dong the Work

The oiling of the streets was begun last week, when the car of oil urtlererd by the town arrived and was distributed by the big Standard Oil auto sprink- ling tanks.

This consignment is already here, and the work of distribution will be resumed probably today, when the town roads will get their full share of attention and the balance of the state roads will receive thedr greasy baptism.
 The first auto oil sprinkler of the Standard Oil Company went bad at the start of the work last week and another was immediately brought here to finish the work. Che of these tanks will hold l, ,05O gallons and the other 750 gallons.

Two Eggs in One Shell.

Letter Carrier Frank D. Hall, of Bloomfield, was somewhat surprised at his morning meal Wednesday morning upon cracking the shell of a very large boiled hens egg to find a double egg with perfect shell and shape before him. MT. Hall refrained from eating the egg and brought it to The Courant to substantiate his story. The egg measured in circumference seven inches and the outside shell contained only the white of the egg. Embedded was the perfect egg of ordinary size, with cir cumference of five inches. Hereafter MT. Hall will be on the lookout for recurrence of the freak but doubtless will look many years before he finds another like it.
