nor Cook appointed him to that higher court, where he remained until 1908, when he was appointed by Governor Woodruff, to succeed Justice Hamersley as Justice of the Supreme Court, the latter being retired by the age limit.
 In 1895 Judge Roraback was the re- publican candidate for representative from North Canaan, and was the first republican elected from this town in 30 years. In 1897 he was reelected. and made chairman of the judiciary com- mittee and leader of the House. "His leadership was a success" says the Os- born book. "He never wasted words and time. His explanation of various measures were sharp and vivid, his con- clusions eminently just, and his ill., fuence consequently powerful. "
 "As lawyer, as representative, as Judge," says the same writer, with justness that will be enthusiastically approved and endorsed by Justice Rora- backs friends and acquaintances every where, and especially here at home, "he never lost interest in the humblest of his friends, and each step in his ad vancement has been applauded heartily by all who knew him, without regard to party. He is counselor and friend to many.

Killing Rats.

In Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published at Springfield. Ohio, Herbert Quick, the editor, writes an editorial entitled"O On With the Rat. Killing" in which he gives many inc teresting facts about rats and other dangers as enemies to man:
 Rat eXtermination should be pro- fession in which an educated man might engage, feeling that it leads to honors and emoluments. Every secret of the rats life should be barred. His weaknesses should be studied.
 "Too long have we waited for some Pied Piper to come along and pipe the rats into the river. The human race seems to have made much progress since the days of witchcraft and magic, but the rat race has fiourished still more.
 "The greatest enemy of man is man, and next to him, perhaps the rat
 He is incredibly cunning. He can live in any climate. He sails the sea in ships. He forages in the open fields or burrows through walls and intrudes into the home.
 Man hlmselt IS no handler than the rat, and in the matching of wits against wits the rat has up to this time been the victor. He augments every famine in the world.
 "If the depredations of rats could be prevented the cost of living would cer- tainly be lowered. Active us he is in famine, the rats most spectacular co. operation with death lies in his copart- nersbip with pestilence.
 "The study of method for the exter. imitation of rats should be financed on some basis which will make it per- manent. It is n fight which has not as yet been adequately waged. notwith- standing the fine abilities of the doctors who are fighting the rats in combating bubonic plague. The business needs specialists" !"

But it Wasn't.

The parson was preaching out of town and he went into barber shop and got a shave. The porter brushed a hat and handed it to the parson, who don- ned it in an absent-minded way. The parson dined at the home of pillar at the church that evening and the guests were all strict church members. When the guests were leaving the host handed them their hats. The host looked in- side one hat to see the name and seemed deeply shocked.
 'Is this your hat ?" asked the host.
 "Yes," replied the parson. That is mine.'
 The host handed the hat to the par son, and he glanced at the inside of the band before donning it.
 And there, pasted into the crown of the hat was card bearing this legend:
 "NO, you darned fool. This ain't your hat. ."-Exchange.

THE MOSQUITO MUST GO.

A bill before the legislature provides for abolishing mosquito breeding marshes within the areas of the state. The mosquito pest must go. The promoters of the bill, "The Anti Mosquito League of Connecticut, the sole object of whose existence is the elimination of the mosquito nuisance, set forth their case with the assurance that it is "the same measure as passed the House and Senate two years ago with reduced appropriation but was vetoed by Governor Baldwin after the legislature adjourned.
 'The bill has been modified to meet the objections raised by Governor Bald win and it is hoped that it may be passed.
 "The scattered efforts of individuals and communities, though a benefit are not wholly satisfactory especially against the salt marsh mosquitoes, which migrate long distances. If one town or community acts and its neigh bor does not, little relief is felt. SJo IlCdouLCS dAO uCCuCo dhlL they can best be carried out if controlled by the state.
 "The health, safety and comfort of the people, which too often have been kept ill the background, should be the first consideration in all legislation.
 "If this country can make Panama sanitary in order to promote business, why should we not take similar measures at home to protect our own people?
 Experience in Greenwich last year shows that tlmalaria can be greatly re- duced by mosquito drainage work, and in New Jersey a greatlyIenlarged grand list has resulted on accont of increased property values where this work has been done"

pIes as Dream is Reallzed.

By strange coincidence John Lyons Romer, the man, who, in the early days, incorporated the Northwestern Pacific railway, planning to carry it through to Eureka, died in San Fran cisco almost at the same hour that the silver hammer was falling on the gold spike at Cain Rock. The through road to the Humboldt region was one of the dreams which he had started towards realization.
 Romer came to California in 1856, when eighteen years old. He was as- sociated with Flood and O'Brien and was a member of the Stock Exchange in the days of the "bonanza kings. After serving in the legislature from San Francisco in 1S69-70 he became successively purchasing agent for the California Steam and Navigation com pany, custom house attorney for the Central Pacific, land and business agent of the Southern Pacific and land agent of the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia railroad. Later he purchased the right of way for the Ocean Shore and was land agent for the Western Pacific. It starting the Northwestern Pacific he was one of the founders of Sausalito and established the first regu- lar ferry service to the Marin shore with the old ferry steamer Princess, which is still in service.

The Christmas Savings Clubs have become firmly established institutions, and according to the banks that have adopted the plan a very satisfactory number of new savings account are opened with them at the end of the year by those who thriftily decide not to use all of their "fund" for Christ mas. sOf course this is the result aim- ed at by the banks says, the Windham County Journal, for there is no profit in the mere running of the Christmas Savings Club itself It accomplishes it's end by first teaching people how easy it is to save for definite purpose, such as the celebration of Christmas, and from this it is an easy step toward a systematic habit of saving for more practical purposes. Incidentally it is excellent advertising for the banks, for it puts them ill touch with great many people that they would probably reach in no ordinary way.

COMPULSORY VOTING.

The Bridgeport Standard editorially endorses The News proposed amend ment to the proposed Spellacy bill providing for compulsory voting. Says the Standard:
 "The amendment suggested would oblige each voter not only to go to the polls. but also, under
 heavy penalty for failure, to vote for the candidate who first asked him. The Spellacy bill with the . Rodemeyer amendment certainly has more that can be said in its favor than perhaps the majority of measures that actually do get brought before each session of the General Assembly,"
 There seems to be an indication of invidious distinction here, which re. quires explanation. Has the last clause any reference. near or remote, to the recent amending of the civil service act?

JUSTICE RoRARAcK.

The reappointment, by Governor Holcomb, of Justice A. T. Roraback, of North Canaan, for an eight-year term on the Supreme Court bench, was, of course, a foregone conclusion and ac- cording to the established rule of con- tinuing the judges on the benches of the upper courts until they are disquali- fled by the age limit; yet it was none the less gratifying to the countless friends of Justice Roraback, at home and throughout the state. His present term will not expire until 1916, when his new term will begin. Hence he would be assured of a ten-years tenure of office but for the fact that he will have reached the age limit of 70 years on August 23, 1919, after serving only three years of his new term. After that-well distinguished precedents of 1910, '12 and IA may be cited to stand for a most worthy parallel in the eleva- tion of His Honor to the gubernatorial as prophet it would predict that very thing. But it does not assume to have the gift of prophecy.
 Justice Roraback's public career is a notable and distinguished one. He be- gan the practice of law here 1872, at the age of B, and as stated minis biog- raphy in Osborn's "Men of Mark in 7 Connecticut, " he "early won the con- fidence of strong clien tele, and was welcomed into that circle of lawyers who maintain the high standard of the Litchfield County Bar" In 1889 he was appointed judge of the Litchfeld County Court of Common Pleas, where he served one term and was superseded, thanks to a democratic legislature, by Judge Arthur D. Warner. During that term "not one of his decisions was overruled by the Supreme Court of Err TOTS. There was always goodly modi- cum of plain common sense in his opinions along with the evidence of faithful research and thorough know ledge of the law"
 In 1897, however, he was again ap- pointed to the Common Pleas bench, for another term of four years, but, vacancy occurring on the bench of the Superior Court the same year, Cover
