House Certain, Senate Doubtful
The Republicans wifi regain control
of the House by fairly safe margin,
but doubt If they Gan get control OF
the Senate; not this year. Michigan,
Montana, Utah and possibly California,
will go dry" this year, joining
Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Kan
sas, West Virginia and most OF the
Southern States in the dry" column.
The dry" movement is gaining force
every day in the Nation generally.
The reason why the country is re-
turning the reorganized Republican
party to power in the Nation is the
realization of the need OF a genuine
Protective tariff to meet the ferc
competition which will spring up in
Europe Immediately after the close
of the war; the hopeless muddle which
the present administration has made
of the Mexican matter, and the result
ant probability that the European ma
lions will demand from the United
States hundreds of millions of dollars
In damages. holding us responsible for
all the loss to the property of foreign
ers in Mexico since President wilson
destroyed Huerta's government in
the world had recognized Huerta,-
and finally the weak and uncertain
foreign policy.
There are many unfailing signs that
the voters of the United States realize
fully the need,-the vital need,-foi
having not only "A President, but a
Secretary of Statae, a Secretary of the
Navy and men In all departments OF
the government picked from the

SINFUL MUTILATION or FAMOUS
SPECIE

We notice that the editor Of the
Democratic campaign book, made up
Of samples of Woodrow Wilson's wit
aud Wisdom" has taIupered with one
specimen speech by emitting the
phrase too proud to fight"
This smacks of Iese majestic, to say
the least.
The only possible excuse for this sin
OF omission that we can think Of is
that there may also be times when a
naughty handbook compiler is too
proud to print.

STUDENT ADVISERS.

John R. Fuller. IS, of Canaan, has been named student adviser to the freshmen who are to enter the Mass. achusetts Institute of Technology this fall. The appointment of group of these young men who are already familiar with the institute and the city of Boston is in accordance with a plan that has been developed by the Tech nology Christian Association, which is a very active organization at the In stitute. Each of the student advisers has a number of freshmen under his care at the beginning of the year, and he will see that they are properly reg istered, suitable homes found for them and familiarity acquired as quickly as possible with the city in which they are to live for few years. Inciden. tally there will be established close relationship between the members of the different classes.

NO MORE TAX ON DEEDS.

Beginning with midnight September 1, the federal war revenue tax on cosmetics and various forms of legal and mercantile documents went out of existence. The repeal of these taxes is part of the provisions of the new revenue bill.
 This means that no further tax on toll line telephone calls, telegrams, steamship passages outside of this country, contracts, conveyances, seats in parlor cars, voting proxies, certifi- cates of indebtedness, bill of lsding. transfer of stock, bonds, realty deeds, in fact all legal documents, will be collectable to the government. The tax also goes off all proprietary medi- cines, cosmetics, perfumery, toilet articles and the like. which have been taxed since the beginning of the European war to compensate for the deficit accruing to the government bee cause of lack of import duties.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

Ten years ago central station elec- tricity retailed for IS and 20 cents per kilowatt in some communities and was not optainable at any price in most farming districts. Sipce then, inn provements ill electrical machinery, and extension of high power transmits sion lines and development of great power projects has brought electric power into hundreds of farm homes at a price within reach of the humblest farmers purse. The rate is usually between 10 and 15 cents per kilowatt today, and recent Improvements in money purchase more light and power than it ever did before.
 At 10 cents per kilowatt hour, the price usually charged, engineers of the General Electric Company have figured that the price of a postage stamp will buy enough electricity to:
 Milk ten COWS,
 Churn 20 pounds of butter,
 Separate 400 pounds of milk in a cream separator,
 Do two large family washings,
 Heat an electric flat iron for half an hour,
 Run a sewing machine for four hours,
 Make griddle cakes on an electric griddle twice,
 Pump water enough to last the family two days,
 Sharpen an axe or scythe on the grindstone six times,
 Thresh five bushels of oats, four bushels of barely and two and one half bushels of wheat,
 Light 40-watt Mazda lamp (about 32 candle.power) an hour day for five days.
 Make five slices of toast every morn- ing for four mornings.

OLD CONNECTICUT.

"I have always had mild interest, - said the lawyer, "in the origin of the Connecticut Yankees reputation, but had no idea that it extended SO far back until ran across in the surrogete's office the other day the will of Lewis Morris of Morrisania. made in l760 and admitted to probate in 1762. 1t contains this paragraph:
 It is my desire that my son, Gouv- erneur Morris, may have the best edu- cation that is to be had in England or America, but my express will and dicretions are that he be never sent for that purpose to the Colony of Connecti- cut, lest he should imbide in his youth that low craft and cunning SO incident to the people of that country. which is so interwoven in their constitutions that all their art cannot disguise it from the world, though many of them, under the sanctifyed garb of religion, have endeavoured to impose themselves on the world as honest men.

MANUFACTURERS MEET.

Manufacturers of the Naugatuck Valley met Friday at the office of the American Brass Company in Water bury to discuss the proposed dam pro. ject for impounding the waters of the Lead Mine Brook. Three dams are planned and it is desired to start work as soon aspossible. One of these dams will be the largest in the state. It was expected that the manufacturers would also consider the plan of seeking aid from the state in carrying out this pro- ject which would equalize the flow of the Naugatuck River during the dry months.

RURAL SCHOOLS.

Recently the United States Bureau of Education made public its report on the average daily attendance at the rural schools and on the status of rural education. It is gratifying to see that Connecticut stands second in it's report, Oregon alone leading.
 It is disclosed that the average rural school attendance in the United States is but 67.6 per cent. But Connecticut shows an average of 88.4 per cent, or nearly twenty-one per cent. above the figure for the whole country. The low average is due to the backward condi. tions in the Southern and Western States. All New England is high, Massachusetts, following Connecticut with a percentage of 86. Oregon's s figure is 9O6, or 22 points above Con- necticut. These figures are for the year 1914.
 The lowest average is furnished by Maryland and Delaware, thirty-seven points below Connecticut Other states further South disclose nearly the same deficiency.
 This is merely one more tribute from an authoritative source to the high rank which Connecticut occupies in all that goes to make for sound practical government by the people.-Exchsnge.

ATTENTION WOMEN VOTERS.

Four years ago this month an er- roueous impression was mischievously foSiered Tn the minds of the 56 women who were to be made voters on cer. tain day of the month, that they were expected to march in parade to the registrars office. No such idea or plan was at any time in the leaders mind but this incorrect statement persis- tently repeated, lost us 20 out of the 56 women who were to be made voters. For this reason, Chat it may not happen again, the town chairman wishes to state in The News that there will be no marching in n parade of the women to be made voters next Saturday, Sept 23, hut, as planned four years ago, for the sake of many women who do not want to go alone, and for the large contingent of to be made voters fro Il East Canaan, this year, there will be provided a place of general meeting and definite hour for those who wish it. The place. chosen is the lower town hall, side entrance, and the time for meeting lis ? p m., Saturday. This will in no way interfere with the liberty of action of individuals or groups and we trust this plain state. ment will be regarded as sufficient and authoritative. B. A. Hitchcock,

DANBURY FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

The Danhury fair gTounds are shap. ing up rapidly, Ghe new administration buildings ha Te now received their ex- terior finish of white stucco and the carpenters are busily working on the interiors. Joining the two buildings is a "tower room," which will be used by the ticket auditors. The new wooden circle that will run completely around the big tent, from the maip entrance betw cen the administration buildings, is now in process of con- struction. This circle will be divided into many individual booths of the same size, and will be occupied largely by the same parties, as the one that was burned in July. The band stand will be located in the same spot under the new tent that it occupied in the old one and everything about the grounds and buildings will be the same as in years passed, except new, and more attractive for that reason. Plans under way include a large tent for dancing, with a "singing' orchestra from New York to furnish music and two New York dancing instructors to keep things moving. This tent will be fitted with seats in tiers and used as a free resting spot where people may gather and enjoy the animated music and participate in the dancing. The only charge will be small fee to those who dance. The fair opens Monday, October 2, with motorcycle races all the afternoon.

THE MONTHLY MESSENGER
Interesting Notes From Christ Church
 Publication.

We gleam the following from Rector Crichton's September Monthly Mes. senger, which will be of interest to others besides the members of that parish.
 The Seventieth Anniversary of the consecration of Christ Church falls on Friday, September 22 and will be cele brated on that day and on the follow. ing Sunday. The anniversary will begin with parish dinner on Friday at 6:30 p. m. at which former rectors will be after-dinner speakers. The whole parish is invited to come as one large family. It is for all people con. nected with our church and without charge.
 The services on Sunday will be Holy Communion at l0:45 and Evening Prayer at 7:30. The Rev. H. I. Bodley will preach in the morning and Bishop Brewster in the evening. The subject of Mir. Bodley's sermon will be. "The Changed Condition and Enlarged Op. porrunities of the Village Church."
 This roth anniversary promises to be the biggest and happiest get.together affair in the history of the parish. On this occasion let the returning rectors and other guests see what enthusiasm and loyalty we have for the old church. Let them sec that Christ Church, Ga. naan, is wide awake. Let them see that while we are interested in the past we are up and doing i'll the present. Let them see that we are not merely q local society concerned only with our own welfare, but that we have caught ysie larger vision of the parish as an outpost of the Kingdom of God, serving the whole community and the church at large.
 We are very glad to have the noble work for the wounded soldiers carrie on in the parish house every Tuesday afternoon and evening. There is work to be done at the parish house and also work which can be carried home. Several contributions of money have been made and more is needed to buy materials. The committee is plan ning to hold an entertainment for the work on Friday, September 29. A moving picture dramatization of surgical dress. ings will be presented.
 The evening service will be resumed next Sunday. The church school will open again the first Sunday in October at noon. afssssf 'sas'.asss~' ' "a. s- .-

HERE'S A SPELLING TEST.

Here are 21 common words fire. quently misspelled. Get some one to dicate the following paragraph to you and see how many of them you can spell correctly, says the American Boy:
 "The privilege of separating ninety miscellaneous calendars. arranged in two parallel lines, was against the principles of the superintendent, so his niece, not to disappoint the govern ment or cause it to lose business, re- moved the principal calendars and thus relieved her uncle of strain which might have brought on disease. Then she believed it had become truly nec- essary for her to receive her instruc- tisn in grammar.

No-LIcense Rally Addressed by Elo-
 quent Priest from North Evans. NY.
 A full house greeted Rev. Father George Zurcher at the town hall Mon- day evening and the audience listened with strict attention to his thoughtful address.
 A year ago Father Zurcher spoke here on the same subject Temperance from the standpoint of an American. Catholic" Canaan being the only place in Connecticu cut that he visited. This year, under the State Temperance Union, he is giving two weeks to the campaign. Much credit has been given to Father Zurcher for the good work he did for Canaan year ago and his address Monday night sustained his reputation as a forceful and convincing speaker.
 In opening his address Father Zurcher expressed his pleasure to know that the town had been no license for a year saying Eff the devil had been driven to miles away from Canaan why should the voters invite him back again?" In plain language the speak. CT told of the effect of alcohol on differ ent functions of the body, dwelling particularly on the nerves and the blood. With telling effect he carried his hearers with him as they followed his explanations and listened to his Il. lustrations to enforce the truth of his arguments.
 Referring to the Catholic church he outlined some of the teachings of that body of christian, love being the highest law. No true Catholic would do that which would bring curse to neighbor. Nor would he violate that second teaching regarding the near oc. casion of sin which is positive teach ing of the church. The speaker de- clared that in his opinion the saloon in this country was that near occasion of sin it was pestiferous evil bringing 150,000 to death and rendering 150,- 900 more unfit for citizenship every year in America.
 For the love of o1r homes and our boys, he urged that we keep the saloon with its deadly D., s;;n from our midst. Let Cathnl'r anI On t,aihUlic unite to keep our town free from the curse.

 The teachers were advised to send any suspicious cases to the health of. ficer, or to their own homes until the officer could visit them; while Dr. Lee did not anticipate any further trouble he warned the teachers that they must be on the look out. Every pupil should be questioned at the opening of school as to whether they had obeyed the quarantine regulations and whether they had been to any infected district.
 Dr. Lee told the teachers that there were cases of whooping cough and measles in town that should be guard. ed against.
 MT. Stone called attention to the pamphlets on infectious diseases that had been placed in each teachers desk, advising a careful reading of them. He also thanked the teachers for their prompt replies to the questions below ::

INVESTMENT TAX LISTS.

Owing to the extra session of the General Assembly in the State Capitol this month, the Superintendent of the capital has been unable to furnish the room required by the treasurer for do- ing the work on the Investment Tax. It, therefore, behooves all those owning this class of securities who desire to pay the state tax of four mills on the dollar, to send in their lists on the earliest possible date, otherwise there will be an unusual delay in getting receipts from the state treasurer.
