OTHER VIEW POINTS

Alabama Is about to do by constiru- tionaI amendment that which Con- necticut took care of a century or more ago. Its voters one year from now will be asked to pass upon a pro- posed change in the states organic law which will allow the levying of special taxes for school purposes. It is hard to think of a state in the Union so behind the times as to not permit in these days special help for education, but there are others In the south and even in the so-called pro gressive" west, which are not up to the point Connecticut reached when she became a commonwealth before the last century.-Bridgeport Post

THE BEST TOWN GOVERNMENT.

From top to bottom the ticket which has been. placed before the voters by khe republicans for the town election Monday is a strong one. It Is made slp of men of experience. men of quail Rfication and men in whom full reli- Rnce can be placed for careful and Thorough performance of their duty. Casper K. Bailey, candidate for first eelectman, has made a success in his pwn business. He knows what the Responsibilities of public office are and he can be depended upon to adminis- ter the town affairs in the conscien- aous manner which the people de- &and. That in fact is the policy to Hhich he is committed. For the men- Yer of the board with him, Charles &. Bushnell deserves reelection. He Hass served on the board a number of Bears and is fully acquainted with the Ekacting requirements. He has always been found true to every trust and his knowledge of the work and his abii- ify make him desirable choice for he board.
 E For the hoard of assessors. Frank H. Woodworth and Albie l.. Hale are Thoroughly equipped to give Norwich Ehe benefit of their sound Judgment. They know the town, have done busi- Aess here for many years and have a Knowledge of the duties which partic- 6Iarly fits them for the office
 z Ansel A. .Beckwith and Fred G. Rrothero as candidates for the board Qf relief can be relied upon for faith fll service. They have not only the ability, but the inclination to impar- 9ally administer that important work
 That Charles s. Holbrook has been Unanimously renominated for town clerk and town treasurer, and Thomas A. Robinson likewise selected for tax collector and both placed, upon each ticket indicates that their services speak for themselves and that they are indispensable.
 The members of the town schoo board. Herbert M. Lereu and B. P Bishop, who have been renominated deserve on their recoAd to be reelect ed. They are needed in properly main. taining. the schools of the tcwn -whiI. the other candidates on the ticket hay, been carefully chosen because of thei fitness.
 As has been said before Norwicl wants the best in town governmen and the election of the ticket name, above is one of the best assurances o getting it.

 No man has many friends, although many men think they have. A little attention and a kindly act in the hour of need is not friendship; neither is the loyalty which Is true so long as there is something to gain. but which falters when called upon to do or dare. There is nothing weak or fiighty about friendship, but it is as constant and true as the magnet to the pole. When Charles Kingsley was asked what had made him such an example of power and grace, he answered.: "A friend.
 His ever dependable friend was known to him. It was not the fattering and fawning of many which had impressed him and wrought new light and life, but the example of One. There is nothing cheap about real friendship. 1t is precious because it is always true it overlooks our faults and adrnires whatever of good there is in us.

MY ODD
UNCLE
By DWIGHT NORWOOD

My uncle's life had been blighted by
an i'll assorted marriage. In every 9TH
er respect he was to be envied or
would have been had it not been for
his marriage. He was prosperous in
business affairs and accumulated q
fortune. But no children were born to
him during the brief period Of his mar
rage, and after his separation from
his wife he never entered upon a Sec
ond matrimonial adventure.
l was his only male relative, and
after hesitating for some time between
leaving his property in trust for q
philanthropic work and leaving it to
me he finally came to the conclusion to
allow it to accumulate through my life
time, I to establish the foundation that
he intended. But this plan was con-
tingent on my agreeing not to marry.
His proposition to me, If accepted,
would give me every comfort and lux
ury SO long as lived. but would de-
prive me Of wife and children. I did
not agree with my uncle on the SUBJ
ject of matrimony because knew that,
though splendid man, he must be a
very hard man to get on with. He
seemed to be fond of me, and If
wanted anything had only to ask him
for it. Yet dared not oppose him In
any Of his prejudices. The difference
between me and the wife from whom
he separated was that l understood
him and had the tact to manage him,
while she failed in both these respects.
My aunt was much younger than my,
uncle-she was but little my senior
and, being conscious of her inability
| to get on with him, came to rely on me
to help her manage him when a dead
lock came between them. l was born
old and never given to acting upon i'm
pulse, while she was sensitive and had
no faculty for going around stone
wall instead of over it.
My uncle's prOposition-which ignor-
ed my aunt-placed me in the position
of taking what belonged rightfully to
her. In making my decision was in
fuenced far more by what was my
duty to her than to carry out my IN
cle's Intentions.
accepted the condition, and my IN
Gle made his will, leaving his property
In trust to me, I to have so much of
the income as chose to appropriate to
myself, but in consideration of this I
gave my word to him that would
never marry, and the will stipulated
that In case l did marry the property
was to pass out of my hands and the
foundation was to be established. IN
der this condition it would be pracu-
cally impossible for me to marry, one
Of the reasons being that l would be
obliged to drop from atfluence to pow
erty, very unpleasant fall.
Before acceding to my uncle's wishes
I asked my aunt If she would disap-
prove Of my doing SO, and she told me
that since she could not benefit by her
husbands property she preferred that
I should do SO. However, before &C.
cepting the proposition made bold to

have always been balanced be-
tween two opinions as to the prime
motive Of my uncle's act. Either he
was SO perverse that he wished to
marry me to woman I did not love,
thus separating me from one I did
love. or he had observed the love that
had sprung up between me and the
woman he had put away. But to do
him justice believe he was repentant
toward her.

tell him plainly that his separation
from his wife was principally his own
fault and that he was doing her a
great injustice to leave her property,
or, rather, its income, to me instead of
to her. l expected that this would al
ter his determinatio ton, but was surprised
that it had no effect whatever to deter
him from his purpose. Indeed, it seemed
to confirm him in it.
l did not promise not to turn over
part Of the income from his es-
tate to his wife. My privilege to do so
would have satisfied me with the posi-.
ton assumed had it not been that l
was pledged to celibacy. Moreover,
there was woman whom wished to
marry. When the papers had been
signed Informed my uncle of this fact,
though did not tell him who that wo-
man was. He merely said, "You should
thank me, my boy, for saving you from
a life of misery"
Upon the completion of the agree
ment my uncle gave me the position Of
bis right hand man that l might be
prepared to manage his estate after
his death. He was certainly a very
queer man, and no one could tell what
he would do. Two years after our
compact he was taken suddenly i'll.
He called for me and said:
II have been told by my doctor that
I have but few days at most to live.
The approach of death has made a
change in my feelings. 1t is a part of

should marry

When had recovered from my sur
prise said to him:
III marry there is but one woman
In the world will make my wife,
"You will marry the woman in
tend you shall marry or l will make a
new will, leaving you out In the cold"
He was very weak. and 1 knew there
was no ti=se to waste.
