sHEEp RAISING.

Not in one, but In all sections of
New England, has the sheep industry
dwindled until 1t bears little or no re-
semblance to its condition g. half CEN
fury ago. And yet 1t Is recognized
at the same time that there IL no bet
ter section Of the country for engaging
in this enterprise.
Back to the farm movement started
a few years ago has eliminated the
abandoned farms and greater interest,
as well as profit, Is the result. That
this can be done in other tines makes
it all the more certain that It can be
applied to sheep raising Il there is the
proper determination.
Having dwindIed from $4,000 sheep
in 1860 to 2o,265 last April, the asso-
citation of sheep breeders Of New
Hampshire not only see the need Of
immediate stimulation but they recog-
nize that unless something is done
soon it will not be long before sheep
will be a rare sight in that state. For
the purpose of revfving the sheep bus
mess the association has arranged for
a campaign of education in every
county in the state. 1t will be in the
nature Of an experiment and il results
are obtained it will be carried on more
deliberately the year following. At the
same time vigorous steps will be taken
to secure the endorsement Of the laws
against sheep killing dogs for the Pur-
pose of minimizing this important
menace to the industry.
The troubles OF the sheep raiser are
the same throughout New England and
what is advisable for one state to do
for the bolsterlng up Of this business
is applicable to another Connecticut
sheep and wool are always in demand
and it is to be regretted that a greater
effort is not made to meet 1t.

GET THE FACTS AND ACT.

Some sensational stories have been
published concerning the activity
which the representatives of the CEN
trail powers have been engaged in in
this country and in view of the case
of DR.. Dumba, who was urging the
Gripping Of American industries it is
not so difficult to believe them.
The passport frauds, the long series
of cases where bombs have been
placed on vessels leaving ports of this
country for the purpose Of destroying
the steamers and their cargoes, with
good prospects that human life would
also be lost, and the suspicious fires
which have occurred in large manu-
featuring plants of the country which
are engaged in making munitions of
war, which can be purchased by any
of the belligerents who are able to
take them away cause the confession
of an Austrian consul, DR.. Joseph Cor
lear to be viewed in a different light
than it might otherwise have been. He
resigned his commission and told his
story because he refused, as he says,
to become a common spy.
How much information the govern
ment authorities may have concern
Ing the pernicious activity which is
charged against the central powers ia
not revealed, but it is certain that it
cannot be any too well informed. It
has need for establishing the facts in
the cases and If they are as alleged,
start in at once to rid the country of
those who are engaged in this under
handed work which is promoted for the
purpose of injur.ng the enemy. but is
nevertheless directed against this

couragement held out to the capital
of this country to meet the situation.
a large American merchant marine
has been demanded for years. but in
stead OF passing laws which would at
tract capital. laws have been passed
which not only discourage such a ven-
ture, but which have actually driven
American steamship lines out OF bus
iness.
The congestion Is therefore only
what might have been expected. It is
the logical result OF q policy Of re-
straint. Transportation lines cannot
provide facilities without means or
without incentive and especially when
national legislation and policy Is aimed
at tearing down instead OF building UP.
The American merchant marine would
not be in its present condition IL there
had been genuine effort made to in
crease it.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Ey the death of DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington a tremendous loss has been suf-
fered, not only by the Negro race, but
by the entire country, for while his
whole life's work has been devoted to
the uplift of his people, every step
which he has taken in their behalf has
worked to the benefit of the nation.
His work has been entirely unselfish
and bent in the direction where it
would accomplish the most good and
all the more prominently does it stand
out because of the great obstacles
which he had to overcome.
Recognizing what had been accom-
plished in his own case, through proper
Influences, born as he was in slavery
he sought to render like service to the
thousands whose need was apparent
and whose condition required just such
help as he subsequently gave. Many
there are who recognize just as lie
did that if the Negroes are going to
be lifted out of their deplorable state
and given a start in the right direc-
ton they must be educated and aided
IN shaking off their ways of living and
responsibility due to ignorance, but
lew there are who, having reached
ouch a conclusion, proceed to place
themselves second and first start to set
their people right industrially and So
cially
For his work DIR. Washington won
the respect and admiration of the
country. His noble efforts won large
rewards for him in the advancement
of the Negroes of the south, but he
built not for the present. but for the
future and his accomplishments are
going to stand out all the more plain
1y in the years to come. He has es-
tablished a course and advanced ideas
which others must now continue. His
Ideals will not die with him.

When reference is made to longest

whether they are located on land or

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Rockville Is to vote, in DecembeT,
on the charter amendment relative to
sidewalks. the amendment dividing
the expense thusly: two-thirds for the
abutter and one-third for the city.
There should be no question of its
the abutter pays IN putting in new
walks, and places a portion of the
cost on the city in general, where, 1t

A division of the expense should

Those who credit the talk about
bankruptcy for England as a result Of
the war drain have not reckoned the
resources of that country. Her COM
puted wealth exceeds by five billions
that of any other country in the strug-
gle, while the combined wealth of the
principal allies is about double that of
Germany and Austria. On the face Of
it. Great Britain is still long way
from bankruptcy. But she and all the
others are on the way. The United
States alone still has an untouched
resource almost double that of her
nearest competitor, and it is growing
every day.-New Haven Register.

continues to perplex a good many
veteran observers is why the voters

handicapped with. a debt of $4,000, 600

subject is amazingly Indifferent wh&n

than his brother in Massachusetts. In
the recent election in the Bay State
there were three constitutional amend
ments-equal suffrage and two very
important ones relating to taxation

authorities in cities in order to relieve
congestion. Practically all WHO voted
for candidates also voted on the suff-
rage question, but more than $780,
900 Of them failed to pay any atten-

amendments. Incidentally it may be
noted these amendments were ap-

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
strongerl That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and langaid feelings make US wonder
if they viii ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
bodyforces to,healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not a ''patent medicine"
simply a highly concentrated oil-food,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t

fits lungs and strengthens the system.

General Won Rissina Pleased.

The Brussels correspondent of Die
Fest at Berlin sends a long interview
with the governor-general of Belgium,
General Won Kissing. in which the lat
ter declares that in general he Is en-
til ely pleased with the manner In
which the Belgian people have received
las efforts to put the country back on
Its feet again"
The principal problem, that Of feed
ing the people, has been fairly well met
and solved" said Won Kissing, but we
have had less success in our attempts
to revive manufactures and industries.
Until the usual facilities for the i'm
I.Ortation of raw material and the ex-
pOIt of manufactured goods are re-
stored at the end of the war, the sit
uation must be to some extent abnor-
NAL
But, while 1t must be admitted that
industry in general lies under serious
difficulties, there is one branch of 1t
which we have succeeded in developing
very well. l refer to the mining in
dustry, especially the mines in the
neighborhood Of Liege, from which We
are now producing almost as much coal
as in times of peace, and even, the
Tslipes in other districts are working
we'll. The management and further adj
vaEcement of this business have en-
coal 'depots which have inaugurated.
These comittees are in a position to
become acquainted with local needs,
ane they can consequently take what
measures are necessary for supplying
the requirements Of their particular
districts"
General Won Kissing remarked that
the measures adopted to induce work
men set about their tasks under Ger
man supervision were working satis-
factorily, as was also the measures
taken to check the boycott of Germans
by the Belgians. Remarking that the
Lublic schools throughout Belgium are
again open. the governor said:

IMPROVEMENT OF MISSOURI STREET
 NOW UNDER WAY
When Low Places Are Fill. ed, Street Will Be Surfac-
 ed with Gravel.

Work of filling in une tow section Of Missouri street was started by tha ely strest department yesterday ander personal supervision of Mayor Simon Bloom and Street Cnnmis- s,oner Leonard Carver, and with more thln a dozen teams at work.
 Arrangements for the hiring of extra teams were completed at the recent meeting of the oity council, py recu1 merIaton of tn mayor, ths street departments and the committee on public car affairs, ond when the work was started mystery, it was taken 3s an ';vent of considerable i'm portanoa by residents and property owners of that section of the city
 For stre oh of approximately 800 yards the street will be filed up to grade At it's greatest depth, the street is several feet below the grade, and it will take an enormous amour. of filling to put the street on a level with other streets of the city, The lilling is rather close at hand. how ever, being not farther at the worst than Esst Sixth avenue, and it is eX- pected t!hat within two weeks the joD will be completed, if the weather continues favorable.
 The work is being rushed by the city because of the desire of property owners to nut top surface of gravel On tho street, and thus to make it a good roadway. The county will help def.py his expense, which it is ex- r'5c cs will aggregate something like $10,0OO and s,12,0O0 in all.
 Civic Leagues's Thanks.
 Mayor Simon Bloom received call yesterday afternoon from a commit tse of the women members of the East Pine Bluff Civic League the conmittee being headed by Mrs. w. R. Barriolaw, president of the league.
 The ladies called upon the mayor to express their thanks and apprecia- tion of the work just completed in East Fifth avenue. which IS now open and in passable condition as far as Ohio street and is able to care for the heavy traffic which justly be- longs upon that throughfare. A cul- vert has been placed in the street at Virginia street. all low places have been filed to grade, and all in all the city has spent something over $2,00O On the street.
 Methods of further improving the street were discussed with Mayor Bloom by the committee, the hear tlest cooperation being agreed upon at tho conference. Yards and houses ST. 70 be improved by the owners and tenants. sone undesirable neighbors are to he ordered elsewhere unless they change conditions, and it is rlanred hv the ladies to make Eost Fifth avenue a street for homes of the better class from Main street to it's eastern terminus.
