They Never Learn.

The news that came last week tell ing of one more bank cashier in this state, who had gone wrong leads one to ask: "Why do they never learn?
 This man has had the example of in- numerable bankers who have abstracted money from their institutions and been caught. Yet he tried the same game. Is it possible that men who undertake this road to easy wealth imagine that onlyIa small percentage of the hank em- bezzlers are caught?
 What other explanation can there be for man taking such a chance? Sure ly a man who deals in percentages as does banker must think in percent ages and if he does he must realize that his chances of going undetected are mighty small. An exaggerated ego must be the answer: they must look upon themselves as more clever than all the other thieves who have gone be- fore. .-Hartford Sunday Globe.

What the Other Fellows Say

Perhaps it might be in order to pro- test against Germany's shooting at the Allies on the ground that some Ameri. can might be it. -Torrington Register.
 Naturally the government will in- vestigate the report that woman spy has managed to find her way to the government reservation near Newport where ammunition and torpedoes are stored. She did no harm but it is likely that she carried away information that might be made the basis of an attack which would do great damage to our munitions -Ansonin Sentinel.
 The foreign secret service has accom- plished good deal in the United States, but its boasted secrecy seems somewhat damaged. American news papers have pretty completely exposed its subterranean schemes and plans. to the discontinue of those responsible for the agents. Bristol Press.
 "PeIk" is still talking about 'the theft of the republican presidential nomination in l9l2." It lives in his. tory with the crime of 'f3.-New Haven Jorrnal. Courier.
 The geography of South America, United States and Greenand can be studied ont of the old books but hardly any other land surface. Waterbury Republican.
 T. k. is in the Yilds of Canada, but events are so big and makes so much noise that he is able to learn all about them merely by keeping his ear close to the ground. -Pittsfield Eagle
 The London Times says boards are coming in again. That's the tough thing about 'em. They keep coming no matter how many implements of torture arc invented by the safety razor people.-New Maven Union.
 It would seem to us, speaking "quick like," that all this talk of possible peace at the present time is the most utter sort of nonsense. The Allies are in no temper to talk peace along any lines that would be acceptable to the German police. - Hartford Sunday Globe.
 The Zeppelins have made tairly successful raid on London, this time hitting the heart of the city. However well in hand" the English may have the submarine business, us they claim, it is evident that they have not yet de. vised any defence against the big air ship-Bridgepor Standard.

up, at once. Every citizen who desires that his town should progress, busi- nesswise, intellectually, morally, so- cially and patriotically, and who has an interest in his comnunity's general welfare, is eligible for membership. ''In union there is strength" and where there is united effort put forth in any worthy cause, success is sure to result. If town does not go forward it goes backward. Like the sky rocket, the instant it stops going up it begins to come down. Whether we shall be progressive or retrogressive town de- bends upon ourselves. The Business Mems Association should furnish the answer Its declaration of principles is for progress forward. The knocker and kicker and sneerer stand for pro. gress backward.
 The secretary of the Springfield Board of Trade deals with a familiar question of the knocker, thus: "As all example of consummate selfishness, What good has the Board of Trade done me 2 will be immortal. It is an indubitable fact that the man who asks that question is declaring, unintention- ally doubtless, that he has a mole-like vision and has about as much sense of progress and of public duty as stump. His question should be, rather, What good can I do the Board of Trade ? And then he could not be accused of illiberality of interest and effort, but should be complimented for generosity and public spiritedness.
 A membership campaign, for enlarg- ing the B. M. A. family, was organized at the beginning of the summer recess, under committee composed of Messrs. Dempsey, Wright and Ford, who should be able to report encouraging progress when the regular meetings are re- stunned. Every live Canaanite, who wants to see his town prosper and get ahead, should join the Association aud show his colors. Get Together. Pull Together.

Letters From the People
That Opening OGe

To the Editor of The News:
 We have heard so much about the singing of the ''Opening Ode" at the meetings of the Wurla Wurra Club. Will you kindly print the words of that celebrated Ode, for the benefit of those who do not belong to the organization :?
 One of Them.
 Salisbury, Sept. IS.
 We don't know the words of the Ode referred to. Having never attended a meeting of the Club we have never heard it sung, and the secretary de- clines to give the words for publica- tion. The Wurra Wurra Club professes to be strictly exclusive" concern, in the sense that it takes in members who cannot get into any other organization. We print the reports of their proceed ings from week to week by special re- quest of the corresponding secretary, to whom we are under some obligation, and take his word for the accuracy of the reports.

Hair on Bald Heads.

Myron Puff is making a notable demonstration iG the window of his drug store to convince those afflicted with baldness-Or should we say "bles sed with badness. Brother Rodeme CT; that Rexall Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald heads. So far as known MT. Puff has nothing against the Bald Head Club of America or the members there of, but he wants to sell hair tonic, and those who may be wondering if it is effective should watch that bald head in the window with the hair growing rapidly every day. Some are wonder Ing if the tonic will grow hair of any desired color. Most people wouldn't t be satisfied with the color of hair now growing in the window demonstration. -Millerton Telegram. 4-'
 The B. H. c. has nothing to fear or dread from the hair restorer referred to above-nor any other. The query went round a short time ago, If there were any cure for badness, would John D. Rockefeller be wearing a wig ?'' There's something ill it. As matter of fact, the only recorded, authentic cure of badness, which actually made the hair grow on a weli-defined bald spot. was effected by membership in the Bald-Head Club of America. And that's fact.

THE CANAAN B. M. A.

The annual convention of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, with which the Canaan Business Mems As- sociation is affiliated, will be held in Windsor, Thursday, October 21, when delegates from the forty business organizations in all parts of the state will get together, and Governor Hol- comb and other distinguished men of New England men will be guests.
 Each Association is expected to re- port to State Secretary Valentine, by October l, the number of its members, as the basis for computing the number of delegates it is entitled to send to the state convention, and the Associations generally take pride in reporting as large an increase of membership as possible. In fact there has been, of late,- especially under the administra- tion of President Frank H. Johnston, a,marked increase ill the local member ships and an unusual era of usefulness, activity and interest among the local Associations. Civic interest has taken a long forward stride, even in the smaller towns, and several he " organi- zations have been added to the State Chamber, which at present numbers no less than 18,000 members, embracing the best business brains of the state.
 The Canaan Business Mems Associa- tion enjoys standing in the State Chamber of Commerce, and is recog- nized by the appointment of its state director on standing and special con- mittees. Our local organization is en- titled to the powerful support of the State Chamber ill any undertaking which may require such support-a plan of cooperation which has been of great mutual benefit to numerous auxil- iary Associations and the State Cham Der within the last year. While the Canaan Association cannot be said to have made remarkable progress, of late, it closed the last season with a we'll defined purpose to take on new lease of life, secure added members and em. bark with determined spirit upon a new career of usefulness for the coming season, various plans and propositions v for the welfare of the town being un- der consideration
 In order to make creditable show ing at the state convention it is desira- ble that the local membership be built

THE GAM E LAWS.

The Connecticut Western News
 assures us that the migratory bird
 law fathered by Senator Mclean is
 working out nicely and that evi-
 dence from forty states is to effect
 that waterfowl especially are in.
 creasing. That is highly satis-
 factory testimony. But coming
 nearer home, can The News assure
 us that bird life in Connectiuct is
 fully protected :? Last season, not
 to mention others, there was a
 great deal of illegal shooting going
 on, to the decimation of the focks
 of robins and other song birds.
 What assurance have we that the
 same condition will not exist this
 fall? There is still much to be
 desired in the way of enforcement
 of our game laws.-Bristol Press.
 It is doubtless true that the protectiv game laws fall short of insuring "ful protection" to game and song-birds just as the stringent laws against mur der, thievery, arson, adultery and cock fighting fall short of preventing tn of those crimes. But it i none the less true that the vigilance O the protectors and game wardens ap pointed by the state fish and game com has considerably minimizeC the percentage of violations, and tha the robins and other song birds hay been more numerously ill evidence tn past season than in many years before So long as the protectors have to reckon with the elusive and disreputable pot hunter and the highly respectable gam hog, there is bound to be more or les evasion of the game laws.

DON'T BUTT IN.

For several weeks editors all over
 this state and Massach 4setts have
 been criticizing the editors of the
 New York Herald for deciding to
 eliminate the very popular ''1'rum-
 bull' Connecticut letter which is
 written by Colonel Norris G. Os.
 born of New Haven. Now John
 Rodemeyer's Connecticut Western
 News takes up the cudgels and tells
 the Herald what it should print for
 Connecticut consumption. We, of
 The Post, enjoyed "Trumbull" as
 much as anyone and regret as
 much as anyone his disappearance.
 At the same time why not let the
 editor of The Herald alone in the
 task of deciding what to put into
 and what to leave out of his own
 paper ?-Hartford Post.
 Just a trifie puerile for a journal tha has long been devoting its energies with more consistency than success, t the laudable task of trying to teach it granny to lap ashes, by coaching its ob old contemporary, the Hartfort Courant, in the way of political anC civic righteousness. We refrain iron the doctor to snuff his owI a lesthetic and not butt in when The News is instructing the editor of tht New York Herald as to how his pape. ought to be run.
