Money Has Been Appropriated
 But Repairs Have Not Been Made
MANY CITIZENS ARE PEEVED
And Rumor Has It That the Matter
 Will Be Discussed Thoroughly At Y Tomorrow Nights Town Meeting
 MeNfahon's Cows At It Again.

The annual adjourned town meet Ing will be held in Town hall tomorrow evening and from remarks heard about town this morning, there Is go- ing to be something stirring. At the last meeting, it was voted to have Tax Collector Charles F. Lewis ob- tain the books of former collectors and have them audited. This has been done by the auditors, Bryan Atwater and George Sullivan. A report will be presented and the meeting will act upon it.
 But the real fireworks, if there is sany, will be the matter of the con- dition of the Beech Swamp road from Upson's corner to the New Britain line According to autOm Obilists and others not so fortunate, this piece of road is one of the worst, if not the worst in the state. Great ruts appear every few feet and the roller coaster, so much in vogue at shore resorts, 6have nothing on this same thorough fare, if reports from motorists are credited. This condition has pre- q vailed since last fall. At the annual town meeting, the matter was con- sidered but nothing definite was done. At the February meeting, the sum of $20O was voted as the towns share Of the cost of putting the road into pre- sentable condition It was understood that the highway department, under whose jurisdiction the work is done, would commence the repairs as soon as spring arrived. Of course, with the daily rainfalls, there may be Q question as to whether that season is really here, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that the road should have been repaired for some time What action will be taken is problematical, but it is thought a strong protest will be sent to that de- partment. The traffic over the road is extremely heavy at all seasons of the year and many citizens are anxious to know why the work has not been at least started since the previous meet ing voted the $200.
 P. S. Cows Again.
 They used to tell a story on the vaudeville stage a few years ago, re garding the Central New England railroad. It was to the effect that a passenger asked the conductor to pile up some baggage at the end of the car to prevent the cattle from walk ing up on the train. Right now iT2 < this age of enlightenment and prepar- edness, a similar episode has occurred ssThe town of Kensington was very 7X- cited Saturday afternoon about four o'clock, when the express train due here shortly after that hour, blew it's

shrill whistle and came to stop about mile below the railroad station. Many citizens hurried to the scene, all sorts of pictures coming into their minds Arriving on the first bridge, they saw the crew of the train very busy-chasing cattle off the tracks, A herd of bovines belonging to P. 5. McMahon, evidently tired of chewing their cud in his pasture, wandered away and took up their stand on the railroad track. After much treaten- ing and coaxing, the crew prevailed upon the animals to leave the track and the New York, New Haven and Hartford train continued on it's way, onl va few minutes late.
 Presumably, the genial theatrical magnate has not as yet prevailed on his cattle to stay in their own back yard for yesterday, no less than forty two of them wandered once again on the land of LuciOus O. Dean, who owns a farm adjoining McMahon's. From previous experience, MT. Dean knew he had no room to keep the crit ters, so he simply shooed them back to their own domain.

For ! Shorter Campaign.

Buffalo Commercial: All power 70
the movement for shorter national
campaign in the years when prssi.
dental election is on. Five months is
too long. In tie early days when
means of communication were limit.
ed and travel slow, when it took
weeks and months for news to be
disseminated all over the country,
there was some reason for holding an
early convention. Today that reason
does not exist.
For three months after the conven-
tions adjourn business is unneces-
sarily disturbed. There is no life in
the campaign before autumn and
practically all the committees can do
is to mark time until the people are
ready to turn their attention to poll.
tics and hear the issues discussed.
September and Octobert furnish all
the time that is needed to either side
for a political campaign. June con.
ventions are relics Of other days.

Value Of one Vote.


Chicago Herald: It takes close
election like the presidential contest
to bring home to the average voter
the value even of single vote and
the fundamental civic duty on max
ing that ballot represent real and
reasonable conviction as against a
mere yielding to inertia or party plea.
Where the maiorities this way and
that runs up2into the tens and hun
dreds of thousands the individual
vote is dwarfed. The citizen has a
certain discouraging sense that he is
a mere unit in an apparently infinite
number. His responsibility for the
net result appears so small that 1t
is not strange that he often Con-
cludes that perhaps it wasn't worth
taking the trouble Of voting-particu-
+1arly where in order to do SO he had
to forego some business or pleasure.
But the close election changes the
point of view. 1t brings home to him
the fact that on the decision of a
very few voters indeed may hang
even the choice Of the chIef magis-
trate of a great and powerful nation.
Not only does the vote of the single
individual count in the smaller bodies
and organizations that have to do
with business apd public life. It is
the supremely important thing and
should be regarded so on every occa-
sion wherein democracy registers a
decision.

The Supreme Court Threatened

Des Moines Capital: Now that at
torneys for the railroad brother
hoods and the federal department Of
justice have joined hands to defend
the Adamson railway wage bill. 1t is
interesting to recall the attitude TAX
en- by President Lee, of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, toward
the action of the roads in seeking an
Injunction which will prohibit the
law going into effect until its con-
stitutionality is determined.
President Lee is quoted as saying
that any railroad that attempts to
cancel the present schedules Of hours
and pay or refuses to put the so
called eight,hour day into effect will
find itself with strike on its
hands, .
What the supreme court does with
the law is no concern of ours" Mr..
| Lee declares. I'VE have demanded
fair working hours and we are going
to get them"
| If this is the attitude Of all the
men who are directly concerned with
the Adamson law, the United States
government is in small business help
ing them to fight their legal battles.
The nation gasped when the presi-
dent and congress were coerced by
small group of citizens who demand
ed shorter hours and more wages,
with universal strike as penalty
| if the demand was not granted.
Now, if we understand. Mr.. Lee
correctly, the supreme court is threat
ened Unless the supreme court de
cides in favor OF the brotherhoods,
| the big strike will be called.
! A deserving rebuke for such senti-
ments is administered by the New
York World, the mouthpiece Of the
Wilson administration. The World
was the first big paper to rush to the
defense of the Adamson law. It has
consistently supported the brother
hoods and their action in securing
the legislation. The World COM
ments as follows on Mr.. Lees inter-
| view:
| when, therefore, the head Of this
railroad brotherhood speaks as he is
quoted he puts himself and affects
to put the brotherhood outside Of and
above the law and a government of
law He is doing what no railroad
corporation or all of them together
would ever dare to do. He is taking
position which substitutes anarchy
for orderly society and which can no
more be tolerated for organized Ia
Dor than for organized capital

UNENFORCED EIGHT HOUR Law.

IF Mr.. Wilson had a keen sense OF humor, ne
would be embarrassed by the protest OF postal
employees against the governments violation
of the eight-hour law passed by congress Tor
their benefit. In letter to the president
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary and treasurer
of the National Federation Of Postoffice Clerks,
calls attention to statute providing that clerks
shall not be required to work more than eight
hours day within ten hours and that for ex-
ira work they are to be paid overtime IN pro-
portion to their salaries He says that while
the law contemplated that only in emergencies
should more than eight hours be required, IN
many Of the large Offices employees are kept al
work ten, eleven and even twelve hours.
No trace Of bitterness is revealed IN MI
Flaherty's letter, which is model OF polite
correspondence. The writer is sure that one
need not point out to the president the MUS
tice Of the postoffce departments practice. Tie
recalls a speech made to gathering OF New
Jersey businessmen in which Mr., Wilson said
eve believe in the eight-hour law because
man does better work within eight hours than
he does within more extended day, and the
whole theory of it, theory which is sustained
now by abundant authorities, is that his eff
cheney is increased, his spirit in the work.im.
proved, and the whole moral and physical
vigor Of the man is added to- That speech was
delivered in the course of strenuous cam
paign. It was in the day s work, which was not
limited by eight hours.
Is it necessary for Mr.. Wilson to reminc
Mr.. Flaherty that the campaign is over ane
that'a mandate Of society," may be scrappec
along with single term pledge?
