BIC DRINK BILLS.

Norwalk's liquor bill for one year was $442, ,OO0, and in that year Nor walk paid $3O.O00 to assist the poor within the city limits. So said Rev. Iaraes H. Soldant. of the Connecticut Temperance Union, in a sermon in South Norwalk, Sunday evening. The speaker said 50 to so per cent. of the poverty in Norwalk is due directly to drink And nobody has come forward sD dispute the assertion. He said fur sher that $1,O2O, 590.47 was collected from the liquor fees in Connecticut in HeI3. The total cost of keeping the pooF in during the same year was $1,- 048, 393, and 80 per cent. of this pow Rbyr which cost more to maintain than WIS received in liquor taxes, was caused directly or indirectly from the saloons. He made the astounding statement that Connecticut, in point of population, Eeads the United States in pauperism. Throughout the jails of the state in 1918 there were IS, 1000 prisoners and im the jails of Fairfield County there we're 5000 prisoners. 80 per cent. of shese men and women were ill jail be- snuse of "booZe."
 These figures are about proportionate D those adduced by Walter Hatmakel En his recent debate with Judge George ". Ford. in the Pilgrim Brotherhood -lmoc which get forth that at a low eSti urate the amount of Canaan s liquor bill snxone year was $36,00O. MT. Hat walker further argued that "of the prupers and insane who are being sup p.rted at the expense of the town, 9C psr cent. of the cases were caused by drink. and cost the taxpayers of the Dwn S2, 500. making an approximate s&al for the year, of not far from $40,

Deer i'm Danger.

While patrolling the woods along the Connecticut river near Hadlyme,. one day last week, Deputy State Game Warden Footit and one of his ass stants camo upSn n man from New York whom they placed under arrest for alleged game law violation.
 This nan, It is charged, had i'm his. bag 30 partridgss. 10 quail and IT woodcoGk. He was taken to Hsdlyme and tried there before a justice'of the peace.
 Speaking of the arrest Chairman. John M. Crampton, of the fish and. game commission, said that tho arrest, in some respects, furnished an answer to the statement that is frequently madd nowadays that there is, no game in the state.
 Mir. Champion further saidl that tt was his opinion that at the rate deer are being killed in the stato there wdl be none left in six months more. Since August l last 5S4 deer have been killed lander the clause in the law that Der. nits their killing when they trespass on propenty. Mir. Crampton said In effect, that this clause was made an excuse for wholesale killing. The open season for deer does not occur until 1917. The state of Vermoat, he said, made s7s, 1000 on vension of deer that had been killed in one year and these animals had only caused damage to the extent of $2, 600.

SUNBEAMS.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT.

If you but look for tbe sunbeams,
 You will find their dancing light Throwing pictures all about you
 Filling this world with delight. You will find they light the shadows
 That before had seemed so dark, And the tones you thought so mournful, Will be cheery as the lark. They will kiss the clouds mp wonder,
 Banishing the gloom away. Leaving pink and gold and purple
 In the place of dullest gray. If yOUr heart is full of sunbsams.
 Llfe can nevermore be sad; And yoall rsdiate their brightness,
 Helping others to be glad.

Done With Democracy.

Next to the return of hundreds of
thousands of Bull moosers to the Re-
publican ranks, the greatest factor
in the boundto come Republican vic
tory in 1916 is going to be the votes
of thousands of Democrats who have
taken a solemn oath that they will
never again vote the Democratic
ticket. They are on every hand, on
every street and you meet and greet
one every ten minutes in the day.
Furthermore, the majority of them
are not backward about declaring
their intention of not voting for Will
son or any other Democratic candi-
date next year. A great many of
them are Democrats who voted for
Mckinley. Roosevelt and Taft rather
than for Bryan and Parker, but in
1914 they were partially convinced
that the Democratic party was once
more right" and that Wilson was
the ideal Democrat and ii was time
for them to return to the party of
their forefahers and resume making
cross under the rooster. At the
same time they promised themselves
that. il the Democratic policies and
principles were no more successful in
1913 and the following years than
they were back in 1898 and 1894. it
was the last time they would vote
the Democratic ticket. Now they are
out to keep that promise made to

Tariff Change is Coming.

Nothing is surer than that we are
approaching a sane revision of the Tar
iff. Ii must come. We cannot at
tain that degree of prosperity that
son regime until the customs duties
are revised, equitably, systematical-
ly, capably. so as to invite public
confidence and stiffen the backbone
of business and industry.
The people of this community
which is more prosperous today than
almost any other in the country. as
shown by the Official reports, can
scarcely appreciate the strength of
public sentiment elsewhere which is
clamoring for a change in the Tar
iff such as will commend itself to
the country's best thought.
Because of the radical Underwood
Simmons bill industry is sobbing for
relief, the great army of unemployed
remains idle, the hateful war tax"
in times Of peace is depressing the
people, and business refuses to go
ahead in the old time way.
The great body of Democrats not
in favor of such near-Trade as the
Underwood-Si bill provides,
is uneasy and dissatisfied with the
Wilson government and the Wilson
Tariff policies. Those who are not
Democrats are stirred by growing in
dignation that we have an admins
tration so out of touch with real
United States sentiments and needs.
The result of all this will be shown
at the great popular uprising next
year which will bury the present
in power under an enormous tidal
wave reflecting the countrys re-
pudiation of what is now being for
ced down our throats.-Scranton

The Money Went to Canada.

If you are looking for the reason
why so many thousands of American
steel workers are idle and why the
big steel concerns are unable to pay
dividends, recent transaction show
ing the practical results of a Free
Trade Tariff, will throw some light
on the subject. Steel rails are now
on the free list. Under the Protect
i've Tariff of 1909 they bore duty of
1895 per ton. Not long ago the Illi-
nOis Central Railroad Company pur-
chased from a Canadian mill $1,000
tons of 90-pound ppen-hearth rails.
The price paid was a little more
than the same grade of rails could
be bought in the United States. I'm
der a Protective Tariff the Canadians
would have to shade their price at
least $4 per ton to make the sale. As
the case stands, they had to cut the
price only a little more than a dol
lar. So the money for $4,000 tons,
amounting to about $1,OO0,000, goes
to Canada, instead of staying in our
country, and American workers are
robbed of corresponding amount of
work and wages. That is Free-Trade.
