BALLouvILLE CLUBHOUSE
Being Painted-Prosress on Similar
 Structure at Attawausan.

At BaElouville the social clubhouse that has been erected by the mill company is in the hands of the paint CTS, the wood work having been prac- tically completed. A steam heating plant, bath and other equipment re- main to be installed, but villagers now expect that thebuilding will be ready for occupancy about the first of the year.
 The structure is of wood, 30 by 40 feet, built with overlanging roof and exposed rafters in bungalow style. It Is shingled and painted a dark red, with white trimmings and altogether makes a very attractive building and one in which the mill operatives are very much interested.
 At. AttaWaugan the other clubhouse, 40 by 50 feet, is not so near being completed as the one being built at Ballouville, but that also is so far ad- vanced that it wNl be ready for use In the near future.
 The new clubhouses are an indica- ton of the thoughtfulness that the mill company has for the social well fare of its operatives and families in the village and the fact is nat lost on those who will beneft from the com 'pany's generosity. as will be quickly indicated to anyone who speaks on the subject. with residents of the vi1- lages.

BOOK PICTURE.

It must be pleasing to every pa triotic and independent mind that we of this country are enabled to pub fish the works of our own authors and also to republish foreign pro- auctions cheaper that they can be inn ported for which purpose, and for better accommodating the inhabitants, establishments are desirable, in sev- eral commercial places. The sub scriber has for the 10 years past been turning his circulating capital to this object, and, as he humbly hopes, has not failed in affording that accommo- dation which this part of the state seems to require. He is therefore be- fore the public for their support; hav- ing been constantly printing binding and exchanging, has inadvertently en- hanced his stock on hand far beyond the demand, and is still under, the ne- cessity of continuing it. In selling miscellaneous books he will make lib- eral discount according to the nature of the trade. Owing to the adVanta- geous conducting of the printing, binding, etc., he will be enabled for the future to afford school books for cash at less price than heretofore. Cash is the great object of the pub fisher but barter is seldom refused. N. B. an apprentice wanted. Lambert Lockwood.

AUTOMOBILE SUITS

The numberof cases growing out of automobile accidents is one of the features of our court work. They make up a big part of present day litigation. It is sobering to the care full motorist as he thinks of the liabil- ity that increases as the streets be- come more crowded.
 The number of automobile owners who carry automobile liability inSur- ance is becoming very large. It is one of the more important items of owning a car to-day. You may run many years and not need it. But in case of mishap, it saves a great many crushing losses.
 In automobile accidents, it is very hard to get at the truth. The oc- cupants of both cars are excited and their stories rarely agree. The thing happens so quickly and unexpectedly that few bystanders can give CO., herent account of it. Usually the damages are charged up to the man who was running fast. And in most cases he is the one to blame.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
HUGH REDDY'S BRAVE ACT.

Hugh Reddy gave an exhibition of wonderful nerve and bravery to-day but few people saw what he did. But for all that he deserves to be awarded a medal for bravery if ever a. man did. He saved the lives of two boys and that too with about three seconds to spare MT. Reddy was standing at the doorway of the baggage room at the depot conversing with the bag gagemaster and some others. On a baggage truck in front of the depot and close to the west bound track two ten-year- boys were playing. It was about quarter of two when the fast through express which does not make any stop between New York and New Haven was about due to pass. 4 heavy freight train was on it's way to New Haven and the two boys all un- mindful of danger jumped from the trunk on which they played and ran to the west bound tracks where they stood waving their hands at the pass ing freight, at that moment the fast express came laundering across the railroad bridge. >Reddy saw the loco motive when it was at the watering tower and with three leaps he sprang to the boys. He thrust them one side and stepped from the track with about one second to spare. The loco motive almost grazed him. The two children did not stop to thank their rescuer but ran as fast as possible to- ward Golden Hill street.

 What the Poles Desired.
 Berlin, Nov. G., by wireless to Say ville.-A Vienna dispatch says that the Polish delegation which few days ago visited the German Cham cellor, Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg, to request the granting of autonomy to Poles, also called upon the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister, Baron von Burran, and presented an address regarding the establishment of Pol fish state. The delegation expressed the conviction that among the neces- sary measures were the appointment of a regent. with full power to govern the state, abolition of the line of de- marcatiOn between the portions of Poland occupied by Germany and by ustria-Hungary, the calling of a pro- visional council composed of native clements, charged with the framing of @ constitution and measures neces- sary to organize an administration; establishment of military depart ment, in order to organize Polish army and finally, after peace is con- cluded, the designation of a king and the delimitation of the frontier.

ENFORCING OF
 ELECTION LAWS

The electoral system in this country bery has been greatly reduced. Re- beating and other forms of fraud are comparatively uncommon. But ef- forts to limit the expenditure of mon- ey in campaigns have not been effec- tive to the present time. Publicity of campaign contributions has been secured to some extent. But appar- ently these laws are largely evaded.
 This is a matter where public senti- ment controls political practice. If it comes to be generally regarded as unfair and disgraceful to spend big amounts of money on elections, it will be much easier to put an end to such practices.
 The American people take such abu- ses tolerantly They curse the poli- ticians, but fail to back up measures by which the latter can be held in check Meanwhile the politicians are not particularly anxious to pursue members of the opposition party for violations of law. In a certain, way they play in with their opponents. They are too frequently vulnerable themselves.
 Clean, fair elections are a funda- mental of a republican form of gov ernment. A violation of the election statutes is far more harmful and dan- gerous than highway robbery. It un- defmines public confidence in our gov- ernment, and opens the door to all kinds of fraud. It makes our most vital institutions purchasable, and honeycombs our public services with graft and inefficiency.
 Wherefore public sentiment should demand the most rigid enforcement of every form of election fraud Viola tions of the laws relating to campaign contributions should be energetically prosecuted With election over, the illegal acts of the past campaign should be passed in review before the courts
