A SOCIAL WHIRL.

The old complaint is renewed, that there are not nights enough ill the week for what's going on. For in- stance, tonight the firemens minstrels in Town Hall, the first degree worked on two candidates in Housatonic Lodge, and prayer meeting in the Methodist and Pilgrim churches-and some of us who would like to attend all of them Tomorrow, the Lincoln Day concert in Norfolk, which will attract many Ga naani tes; the Union Brotherhood Sup per at East Canaan, with addresses by Judge Light and Hon. E. $. Roberts, and repetition of the firemen's min- strels. All that inside of 24 hours. It's 3 mulch, as Artemus Ward would say. Verify the social life in Canaan is getting on some strenuous hustle in these pre-Lenten days and nights.

GEORGE AND JIM.

Much is being made of the circum- stance that the name of James P. Woodruff, as associate editor, has been hauled down from the editorial mast head of the esteemed Litchfield h. quirer since his well-deserved eleva- tion to the judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas. Al. Howe, of the New York Herald, relates that Editor George O., the republican factor, and Judge James P, C"Sunny Jim" the democrat, alternated in serving the In quirer's constituency with political pabulum. George would gratify the appetites of the republican readers, then go away on one of his periodical personally conducted pilgrimages to a remote corner of the earth, leaving Sunny Jim to editorially controvert all the Inquirer's republican doctrine and serve up Jeffersonian democracy pure and undecided, until George got back.
 But now all that is changed, and the name of George c. stands alone at the head of the editorial column. MT. Howe is prone to wonder whether the two-headed role can be continued sim gle handed by George O., and if not, "how the democrats of Litchfeld are going to exist without literary fodder to their liking"
 The problem is less difficult than interesting. George c. was demo- crat, himself, in days gone by, before he shed all his hair, and surely he has not forgotten how hideously the repub- lican party loomed up in his patriotic vision in those days, the memory of which should enable him to squirt vitriol from his fountain pen when he alternates with himself in the stead of brother Jim. There's no difficulty about perpetuating the double-role editorial policy. The real problem is, if George c. is going to be both the editor and the associate editor of the Inquirer, who's going to be the life and soul of the periodical personally conducted pilgrimages to the remote corners of the earth

"Mother" Jones seems to be a kind of Billy" Sunday in soprano.
A Bad SpelIer.

The stories, original and borrowed, told by Marshall P Wilder, during his long career as public entertainer, would fill a very large volume. One of his good ones, as I recall his telling it, related to a gay but illiterate hus- band, whose home ties were not so fondly cherished by him as they should have been. Stepping up tO'a telegraph office one afternoon he instructed the operator to send telegram to his wife, saying that he would not be home that night, as he was going down to Narra- gansett. The operator handed him a blank and told him to write his mes sage.
 "No, you write it," said the hus- band
 II cant, it's against the rules of the company. said the operator.
 "Oh, you write it this time. I've got a sore finger" persisted the hus- Dand.
 "No, you must write it," said the operator, with equal persistence.
 "Oh, we'll" said the husband talk ing the pen and cogitating on the some what difficult orthography of his in tended destination. Il guess I'll tell her Pm going to Newport instead. - George F. Babbitt ill Boston Herald.

Teachers Pensions.
Editor Inf Tho News.

To the Editor of The News:
 Why should the state provide pen sion for its teachers? ? Purely for economic reasons. As taxpayers, the people of Connecticut should demand and should get the full value of their money. The state of Connecticut spends many thousands of dollars every year for the education and training of its teachers. After teaching Q few years, the young teacher has just enough experience to be of value to any state. He or she quickly realizes that the future in Connecticut holds out to him or to her-nothing. New York, New Jersey, Maine and Massachusetts gladly take the teachers trained at Con- necticut's expense and realize that in taking care of them, in measure, after their usefulness ill the schoolroom is over, they are saving money and mak- ing their schools more efficient.
 A pension system for teachers in a state is an economy, not an extrava- gance; good, safe investment, not a charity. Push it alougl

Letters From the People
Governor, or Congressman

1oVernor, or congressman
 To the Editor of The News:
 In your references to "precedents' as bearing upon the possibilities open to our distinguished and beloved fellow townsman, Supreme Court Justice A. T. Roraback, after his retirement in 1919, you neglect to cite another con- spicuous precedent that might we'll and worthily be followed in Justice Rora- backs case-the election to Congress of another distirg Iished Canaan citizen, the late M. T. Granger, after his retire ment from the Supreme Court bench on reaching the age limit. Shall it be Governor Roraback? or Congressman Roraback? Canaan Democrat.
 Canaan, Feb. s.
 We had almost decided to forego, at least for the present, taking any further liberties with the future career of Judge Roraback, who doesn't seem to give anything like the enthusiastic co-opera- ton, nor evince the lively interest in the speculation which the subject really deserves. AS matter of fact the Judge manifests nothing more than an amused indifference, which is hardly calculated to inspire a volunteer boomer with reckless courage and enthusiasm for the volunteer booming business. The Granger precedent, referred to above, conveys a timely suggestion which may command attention in due course of events. And by that time Judge Rora- back may be not only mere receptive, but better known. The fact that his reputation is spreading little, outside of Canaan, is shown in all incident of recent date. A newcomer to neigh boring town had occasion to come to Canaan few weeks ago on business in- volving relations with Justice of the Peace George w. Ford. On returning to his own town he remarked to an ac- quaintance: That man Judge Ford seems to know law pretty well, and acts like a good sort of fellow. l un- derstand they've got another judge up there in Canaan, too-a man by the name of Roraback-but I guess Judge Ford gets most of the cases.

Adverting to the picturesque pro- fanity of "the senior representative from Waterbury" at recent session of the New Haven county representa- tives at the Capitol, the esteemed Re- publican plumes itself with civic pride over the fact that when the aforesaid senior representative sees occasion to swear, ''he can do it very satisfyingly and artistically' That's the talk. There's only one way to do anything right, and that is to do it right As Professor North, the band teacher, used to say to the timid learners who, being uncertain of their tones, blew faintly into their horns, "Don't be afraid to blow it out; if you make a discord, make one that we can hear"

TAX THE BILLBOARD.

The unsightly advertising billboard
 which, like a nightmare, obtrudes it. self upon the vision of the railway traveller, auto tourist and steamboat passenger, and defaces the natural beauties of the landscape, has been as-
 sailed, denounced, threatened, perse- euted, prosecuted and condemned, time after time, by civic societies, improve pyent associations and others, but with out effect. In its way it apparently atns a watft, and has undoubtedly come to stay. If the billboard is not a necessary evil, it seems at least to be an repressible evil, and that live wire organization, the Windsor Business Mems Association, has approached the problem of regulating it, in sane and rational way, by recourse to that hardly -ever-failing panacea for almost a}Y the heirs that flesh is ill tO-a tax.
 The Windsor Association is the father and mother of bill recently intro duced in the legislature, with the back ino of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, providing for tax on bill hoard advertisements at the rate of ) canrs per square foot of advertising .4so located as to be visible from any Highway, railway, or navigable stream or. bodv of water in this state, the tax +o he assessed against the owner of the land on which such billboard is To- / eoted.

Lined With Spider Webs.

The roads of Paraguay are about five yards wiCe throughout, and the trees meet overhead at a height of some eighteen feet, thus forming a tunnel of very uniform dimensions. In the clear part of the tunnel-that is, where it is not choked up with the giant net tle-it is full from roof to ground of enormous spiders webs stretching clear across the road, the big trees usually being chosen as anchorages and the total clear span being thus more like eight yards than five.
 The main cable or framework of the nets are composed of five or six strands of thick yellow web and are almost as the net is made up of single and double strands of the same stout material, which is as sticky as it is strong. Every yard or so one of these nets eX- tends across ones path, making it necessary to hold a cutlass or a fairly stout stick at arms length in front us one walks.
 The makers of these troublesome but picturesque Instructions are large, highly colored, gaudy looking spiders with bodies that look as if they were about to explode, they are so blown out and glossy.
 At intervals in some more open space where the sky is visible one will notice different kind of web, far more ir- regular in shape, but far larger than the others Not content with the space available in the tunnel, these webs are stretched in complicated mazes from the gronud to tho very clear spans frequently twenty or thirty wards from one tree to another.
 From these main cables smaller ones extend to the ground-a drop of fifteen or twenty yards--aud the spaces in be- tween are filled up with mass of webs spun in all directions. Wide World Magazine.

$10 per year. Of course the owner of the land would assess this against the advertiser ill addition to the rental, which would increase the cost of ad- vertising to an extent that would drive many of them out of the lot. This, we presume, is what the promoters of the bill are aiming at.
 It looks like an equitable proposition, and ought to go. If billboard advertis- ing has come to stay, let it pay for the privilege of staying. It ought to. If billboard advertising pays, the adver- tiser can afford to divvy up, and if this Windsor bill goes through, he'll have to.
 No matter how alluring it's message, how artistic its conception and execu- tion, nor how gaudy and glorious it's coloring, the bill board is an eyesore, a blotch on the face of nature, and a thorn in the flesh of the railway traveller with an eye for scenic beauty. AS he drinks in the charm of the ever changing landscape from the car win dow, his view is interrupted, generally at the most interesting points, by the dismembered side of a barn covered with thrilling legends proclaiming the exhilarating effects of Schnitzel- burgher's Book Beer" or the staying qualities of "Squeezem's Corsets," or the joyful jag generated by Wilson That's All" The view of fairy grotto on the adjacent hillside, or the most entrancing beauty spot in flower garden is obliterated by the startling assurance in six-foot letters, that Some body's Overalls Never Rip, or that Somebody Else's Dress Shirts Always Fit, or that Rustless Screens are rust less screens.
 It is hardly conceivable that the con- temptation of these obtrusive and prosaic monstrosities should inspire the esthetic traveller with a wild and ir- resistible impulse, on reaching his des- tination, to rush headlong from the train, to the nearest emporium, and clamor for corsets, book beer, overalls, dress shirts and rustless screens. And yet, manifestly, billboard advertising is a lucrative institution, and as such should not be allowed to dodge a reason able tax.

The Other End.

The acquisition of brand new Brazilian dreadnought by Turkey re- calls the story of the Turkish admiral who had been newly appointed to tue command of the Aegean squadron. He installed himself in the admiral s qnarter-which opened to the stern- walk-on board the new flagship one evening, and went to bed. Next morn ing he awoke and ordered full speed ahead. After n little delay the pro- peller began to revolve, but us it had not moved since the ship was sold to Turkey-at more than cost price by a power which had no use for it-it made a tremendous racket.
 "Allahl" !" cried the admiral. What in the name of the Prophet is this up- roar ?"
 That, Excellency, is the propeller, " replied the captain.
 "Stop it, thenp'
 It was pointed out to the admiral that stopping the propeller resulted as u rule in the stopping of the ship like wise.
 Then take the thing off, " believed the naval autocrat, "and put it on the other end.

There's a fine vein of sarcasm in the Hartford Courant's observation fol- lowing it's report of Mayor Lawler's speech at the Hartford Business Mems banquet, at which ex-President Taft was guest:
 "Mayor Lawler's remarks in
 praise of MT. Taft were enthusi-
 astically received, and many low
 voiced comments of approval were
 heard as he concluded his re-
 marks"
 The point of the joke is in the fact that according to the Courant's report of the mayors speech, he made abso- lutely no reference at all to the ex- President.
