More Dry" Territory.
(Portland Oregonian)

The month of February inst closed witnessed remarkable progress in the promotion cause. The .legislatures of Iowa, Arkansas and Idaho adopt ed proh1bitory statutes. Tn Alabama statewide law was passed over the governors veto. The Utah senate passed prohibition bill which will probably become law Oregon en- acted statute necessary to the en- forcement of constitutional amend ment. A ..
 It is 1pparent that this is not to end the movement. Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska are expected to fall into line shortly In California there is talk of state division for a purpose contrary to that which inspired the probably futile suggestion to divide the state of Washington Whereas in Washington the western section is supposed to desire relief from a dras- tic prohibitory statute, southern Cali fornia desires relief from legalized liquor traffic. The plan offered in California is to divide the state by vote of the people, creating a territory in the southern portion. Southern California prohibitionists favor the division
 It is not surprising that the liquor trade and particularly the manufac- turers of intoxicants are studying con- ditions with renewed energy T. M
 Gilmore, president of the national model license league and publisher of Bonfort's wine and spirit circular
 who is making a tour of the west writes his paper from California that the manufacturers must seek new channels of distribution. He sees the doom of the saloon, at least through out d large part of the country
 Mir. Gilmore expresses the belief of 1 many others when he says that the saloon has became the red flag, and all that stands in the way of it's de- struction is in great peril The large majority for prohibition in Oregon was primarily a protest against the < saloon. let with it went down the manufacturers of intoXicants. The state now adopts the inconsistent posi- l ton that that which it is unlawful to manufacture in Oregon may be imported into Oregon for limited pri- vate use in Oregon. If such a law spread to all states the people would have to give up wholly the use of wine, beer and whisky. There would be none to import except that manu- factured in foreign countries, which would be beyond the reach of the ordinary individual.

we would have given all our earthly possessions consisting of dollar watch, two jack-knives, a fish h-hook or two and a gimlet, just for dog of most any age, size or color even if twas nothing but a pup. ..s
 Time and again we had been prom 9ised a dog only to find that promises like pie crust were easily broken. There was always one excuse or an other. It is so easy to invent eN- cuses for broken promises, wrong as it may be. So the winter wore itself away and melted into spring. The April showers had brought the May flowers in abundance. The little dog house that we had taken such pains to build snug and warm for the win ter months was still empty. All win ter it had been hidden from sight under the great white drift. Now it's little door stood invitingly open, let ing in the sunshine, while the south winds played over it, but no little dog gie came in or out; there was none to take possession.
 Then one bright morning in May when the blossoms were falling like snow from the fruit trees, very pleasant surprise came-somethlng unexpected. We were busy about our chores as usual when dad fairly gave us thrill by saying,
 "Now, boys, you can have that dog you've been teasing me so long about"
 "Oh dad! Is that so? we both cried in chorus as we danced around him for very joy. Do tell us all abuot it!'' P We'll said dad in reply, II We only been waiting til the little fellow was old enough to take from his mammy. There is half dozen in the bunch, and Neighbor Brown says you boys can have the first pick So you better call. on your way home from school tonight and bring him with you"
 We did, of course, and the strang est part of it was that we should pick out the homeliest one of the whole bunch But we were well pleased and proud of our prize just the same
 And, Juggling him home in basket we both shouted gleefully as we turned him loose, Here 'tis, dad. here 'tis.''

PLENTY OF WATER.

1T all the water that is running to waste in all the water systems of this part of the country this winter could DC bonded there would be no anxiety about a suflciency for a long time to come, even if very little rain fell. It Is many years since there has been such an abundance All depleted reservoirs were filled up weeks ago. Most of them have been running over ever since. Waterbury's system has been full all winter and enough has flowed over the danD to fill the third big reservoir, which"is contemplated, several times.-Waterbury American
 There Is a good suggestion in the above for the reason that it points clearly to the fact that what every Connecticut city must do Is to store as much water as possible in the season Of plenty for use during the seasons when there is a drought Sources of water supply in this state are pretty well gathered up now. so that the city that goes looking for a new one will find the search a most 6lffcult one and if found there are almost interminable difficulties in obtaining possession without incurring an enormous cost. The problem be- fore cities nowadays in regard to water supply Is to enlarge their reservoirs so that in the spring time when there are freshets they may be able to store a sufficient supply to tide them over the seasons when rains are light and water scarce It was places were confronted by a drought in some instances manufacturine plants were obliged to close tenn porarily and in addition to that cities were compelled to exercise RreAt caution in the use of city water lest there be a large fire and great damage caused because of insufficient supply Happily there was no such result but several municipalities were given fright that has caused them to fully realize the position they were in, and tc be more careful in future. Just as the American says, there is enough of water going to waste now. which. if saved, would remove all anxiety as to a >sufFciency for a long time to come. The thing to do is to prepare, for such times.

Papers in the Streets.
(New London Day.)

Cleanup week for Bridgeport is only about two months away. From one point of view the necessity for an annual cleanup is a reflection upon the orderly habits of the community during the intervening months. The ideal condition would, of course, be a sort of all-the-y -year-round spotless town.
 As to our cellars and back yards each of us is at perefct liberty to do much. as he pleases. It is quite a diff ferent matter with the city streets. The habit of dropping papers wher- ever one happens to be is something against which any user of the streets has every right to protest. That this habit is altogether too common is made especially apparent on windy mornings in certain parts of the city. At times the amount of waste paper blowing around presents much the appearance of an animated rubbish heap.
 A very few careless persons can leave a street in very unsightly con- dition in this respect. It sometimes involves personal inconvenience to carry newspapers, wrappings taken from small parcels, cigarette boxes and similar debris to place where they can be deposited with a due regard to municipal neatness. The failure thus to inconvenience oneself is, how ever an indication of a certain lack of public spirit and pride in the ap- pearance of ones city Among the "don'ts'' that should be constantly kept in mind is ''don't throw waste paper in the street..

We Never Really Grow Old.
From "Growing Old,' by r. Dem1nS
 in March Scribner)

in March Scribner)
 And hero l come to the next or those something's which 1 wish to say. It is not something new, but some thing that has been emphasized by my experience. It is the fact so o1ten discovered by the aged, that folks of any sort do not, in the depths or reality. change or grow old. The out side of the man or the woman WaXeS and wanes. but the "I myself within me" that something of which we are conscious, that spark of the in finite flame, seems as changeless as eternity. To himself and to those who know him very intimately and most completely the man is and seems just as young and just as old at twenty as at fourscore. I have had exceptional opportunities to know abut this. We were a family of seven children of the old New England stock, and Pur- itan, We have all lived to be several years beyond seventy. We grew up together and have continued to dwell in our native land in concord and har- monv. Each has read the others as the saving is, like the pages of a book. Changes have come-the usual changes. And these have been many. But the dispositions, tendencies, tastes, preferences. loves, hates and all the long catalogue of personal qualities, have remained the same, and seem bound to continue un- changea ble forever.
 I remember with contrition efforts to turn Puritan feet out of one chan mel or pathway into another. Little brothers who are fond of each other struggle hard to harmonize their likes and dislikes and tendencies, so as to pursue the same objects with enthusiasm. l can never think with out smiling Of those boyish days in the lone forest solitudes when the spirit nearest to mine, my nearest brother, my Achates, tried to be in- terested in fishing and hunting, both or us half knowing that he was in- terested in these pursuits merely be- cause I was It became a joke be- tween us that most of his success in nshlng was in the way of getting his nook caught in the bushes. But he had his success when at our home he brought out his books relating to Wilson and Audubon and the birds and the flowers we had found in our Wanderlngs in the wilderness When he painted his pictures it was my turn to try to harmonize I tried to paint, both of us knowing that I did so chiefly because he did.
 There was no real transfer of ten dencles and could be none.

the fire. All this had it's origin in the movement to obtain lower insurance rates but the companies never kept .{neIr promises There isn't much Iaproperty' destroyed in New Britain year after year by fire and the reason Tor it is the efficiency of the fire de- partment. The expense is undoubted- ly annoying to those who are trying to make a dollar do where two are demanded but the only thing that can be done is to be as economical as possible and at the same time keep doing something every year until the motorizing is completed. There does not seem to be any other way.

With Death Penalty Abolished
(Rochcster Herald.)


 Gov. Whitman is quoted as being opposed to the plan advocated py sentimental persons for the aboItlon of capital punishment in New York 'I do not approve of abolishing the death penalty said the governor, "after the fifteen years experience 1 have had in criminal matters. ] do not wish to be quoted as too deter mined on this subject, but, frankly speaking, l believe it will be dan gerous for the community. and par ticuarly for such a community as New York city"
 It has been demonstrated in every state that has abolished capital pun ishment that murder has inm ediateiy increased. When Vermont abolished the death penalty in 1911 in the year which followed there ware twenty murders recorded in that state. Tho Civic Alliance of Boston. which has long defended the death penalty, made q canvass of the state at the ensuing election and tho legislature which it assisted in electing imme- diately re-enacted the law prescribing death as the penalty for murder in the first degree. Since that enact
 
 Of the six New England states, Maine and Rhode Island have abol- ished the death penalty, and the mur- der rate in those states ranges from seventy-seven to 560 per cent. high CT than in the other four states, ac- cording to the statistics of the twelfth census. Because of the alarming in crease of murder in California and Colorado following the abolition of capital punishment, both of these states were obliged to restore the death penalty for murder in the first degre. The fear of the electric chair without doubt deters many men from taking human life, and the governor is wise enough to see that the abolition of the death penalty in this state would induce a saturnalia of criminals in the three or four larger cities of New York.
