THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER

"a newspaper should be watcher
on the housetop, and see afar and
ahead the issues coming up and try
to lead those not occupying the van
tage ground of the newspaper. A
newspaper should not be weather
vane only, showing which way the
wind blows, but 1t should be wind
that eIows 4. true newspaper stands
fer something, and Is a real factor
in the development OF its commun-
ity. Believing this The Intelligencer
has stood for many matters progress
sive, and we feel that our efforts
have not been In vain. 1t is, per-
haps easier to drift with the cur
rent. but we rreter to be right. -
Daily Intelligencer.
And say neighbor. Is IL not the
lnty of every body to have courage
and manhood enough to stand for the
right and to contend for it when
necessary? We think SO, and we
are af tho opinion that this is one
rea.,on why so many things &C
wrong. People either have no strong
convictions or il they have them
they have not enough courage to ran
up against things that are nos right
A great many people are afrai., that
they may lose business If they show
their colors. This newspaper has
heard this kind OF talk, but in not
q single instDnce has 1t held il up.
If we must sell our honest convic-
tions and manhood for business, then
we figure that the sooner We close
up shop and get out the better. The
fellow who imagines that he can run
us on that kind o 60 threat has miss
60 his aim. He needs to strike his
tiint and try again. Greenwood

lspecial to The Farmer.l

Iexvtovyn May 5.-The freemen Of fhe borough of Newtown are in a vio-. Ient state of excitement to-day, over what a majority of the voters call a double cross; and condemnation or the off cials of the borough for thelr oversight or design in preventing the holding Of the annual borough meet ing is heard on all sides.
 This morning promptly at nine so, clock q crowd of voters appeared at the town hall to exercise the1r rights to vote in, the election for ofh- cers of the borough for the ensuing year. as the charter provides, but we're greeted with. the announcement that no legal election could be held as the borough clerk, Charles F Beards1ey had failed to post the legal warning for the meeting as by char ter required.
 The present incumbent of the off1ce Of Warden Charles G. Peck, knew of the fiaseo in advance, and so far as
 he could, spr cad news of. the failure
 of the clerk, over the telephone, but the voters who had come determined to make several changes in the per
 sonnel of the board of borough off1- cers this year, looked upon the an- noun ncement as ruse, and near r1oL was barely prevented.
 The leaders of the opposition to the present administration would not pe- Iieye the Warden and insisted on 1n- l terviewing the official who was delin- quent in duty, and a volunteer com rnfttee went at once to the residence Eof Clerk Beards1ey to interview him. After searching for him unsuccess- fully for a half ali hour, they return ed to the hall to report. In the mean 1 time Beards1ey had te1ephoned to the Icenter of excitement, and confessed his. fault, and giving as excuse that he forgot all about it-that there was
 no warning posted, and there could be no legal election this year-but the 1 old officers held over under the char 1 ter. Tn view of the fact that Clerk Beardsleys had not carried put, the vote of the last annual meeting of the borough to have printed a municipal register with a certified copy of the charter and bylaws of the borough, to be delivered to each tax payer, the indignant citizens refused to accept this as a solution and Insisted on en- Itering the hall and voting. But they
 were met with the declaration of the l 1anitor, that, acting under direction i of the warden, he had not caused the voting booths to be set up;< and. the
 registrars of voters had no official
 ballots to hand out, and did not ap- Ipear at the place of meeting
 Then there was a call for the rec

Officials Incline to Belief That Old Man Who Gut Bridge porter's Throat Was Marked For. Robbery Because of Be- lief That He Had Riches With Him.
cspecdal to The Farmer.1

Danbury, May 5.zThat a pension ex- peeted by Joseph Hills the Civil War veteran who is held for the murder of George W. Higgins of Bridgeport, indirectly led to the killing, is the the ory that is being given the greatest credence here. Expecting the pension, Hill is believed to have boasted that he was immensely rich, and that is thought to have inspired an attempt to rob him.
 According to a close friend of Hill, the latter was accustomed to boasting of his wealth whenever he became 1n- toxicated.
 It was learned here. today that FilPs real name is Joseph Paul
 Coroner J. U Phelan will probably make his finding tomorrow. He has been delaying the finding because a the police of Danbury to have been found, but Prosecuting Attorney Nor man Beers has found that the wit ness is one of the men who have al- ready testified and because he was afraid he had been misunderstood, ex- pressed a, desire for another chance to talk to the coroner
 When Coroner Phe1an receives mo- tice of this today, he will prepare to
 make his finding. He has already made up his mind on the matter, but thought the supposed witness would | witness had nothing new to tell, it has been learned.
 Town Treasurer Hill of Bedding knew Paul well and he expresses the opinion that Paul has been boasting about his wealth and brought about attack upon him.
 Joe was always pretty rich when \ he had a few drinks down. said MT.
 Hill referring to his former employe,
 "and I imagine that boastings about
 his wealth rather than the small sum
 he could actually show prompted the attempt at robbery which resulted in spring of his talk about having so
 much money was the pension he hoped to get. Captain Quien, the pension
 agent having his application in charge, has made it known that Joe's
 last name is not Hill but Paul, a, fact (which partly explains the obstacles to I be overcome in obtaining the pension l because the records show that two Jo- seph PauIs served in the war and to satisfactorily differentiate them seems to be not so easy although Captain Quien expects things to work out right for his client. I knew two or three lyears before Joe left my employ that his real name was Paul but never
 mentioned it to anyone. Joe told me about it when he was very sick in con lnection with a request that write to a friend whom h had not seen for lyears. Tn replying the friend ex- pressed surprise that Joe should be living on farm, having supposed that he still followed the water At that time Joe explained to me that he had taken the name of Hill because his mother acquired it by 8 second mar

BOROUGH OF VIEWPOINT UNABLE TO HOLD LEGAL ELECTION AND
 VOTERS ARE IN EXCITEMENT
Crowd of Voters Angry Mo od When Discovery Made That Clerk Has Neglected o Therefore Meeting Be Conve ned

ord book of the borough in which the charter granted ins1S28 is engrossed to see if the case was as presented by the spokesman of the administration, but nobody knew where it was unless the borough clerk had it, and he could not be found when another oomnit- tee went to his domici1e, hunting for him. He was in a, secure hiding place through shame or design, but the clamoro1s citizens believed that it was a downright attempt to deprive them of the right to vote, and the protes- tations grew louder, and an indfgna- ton meeting was held in front of the hall.
 While it was not attempted to have a runap election the crowd applauded speaker who outlined for the out ragged citizens a. mode of procedure. This was to refuse to pay taxes this year, and thus starve the hoId-oveP officials out. For if it was not legal to hold an election, neither would it be legal to lay an annual tax on any the charter provides that the annual meeting for the election of officers, 1 and laying the borough tax for the year go together. and the date this year is May 4.
 This determination seemed to the disgusted voters to be the thing to do, and after leaving 9 committee t@ watch the halIs that no secret meeting would be held by the adherents of the office holders who seemingly want
 to hold on, the crowd slowly melted away.
 l What the effect of this days work will be, is being discussed in business
 places in the borough all the fore noon. The consensus of opinion is
 that borough improvements have re-
 ceived a black eye.t The lighting of the borough by electricity was voted at the special meeting a few months
 ago, and the work has begun. It
 will require a. tax of 5 mills to pay for
 this work, and the contractors pur-
 poseIy delayed operations until the
 time of the annual meeting, when the ] officials promised that the citizens
 would promptly make the contract
 good by voting the money. How l they will act when they learn of this
 slant to the scheme is hardly prob-
 Iematical They want business, not a
 lawsuit with one hundred separate
 taxpayers. And that looks like what
 they will be up against after to-day | if the indignant citizens do not change
 their opinions. ID the meantime the
 ho1d-over officials will not sleep on a
 bed Of roses, owing to the deIinquen-
 cies of the borough clerk, and there l is no question that public improve
 ments in Newtown borough. have re- | cefved a bad setback to-day.

riage did not then and do not now believe that he made the change for. the purpose of concealing his identity, and until there is some supporting proof shall give no oredit to the vague rumor that he committed some offence in Massachusetts which Higgins flung up to him. thereby rousing his anger and provoking the fatal assault. If Joe was in hiding for some crime done in Massachusetts he would not be like ly to go to Worcester, as he often did, to visit his sister"
