fected their military training. and the speech by General Robertson of the British army to the effect that that country is in need of more men if they are going to win the war.
 There is no alternative in France. Tn Great Britain it was a case of vol unteering until 1t became necessary to resort to conscrtption and even now with four to five million enlisted there is still need of looking about for more It is not recorded that France has any slackers, because their system does not permit them. but the British we have been repeatedly told maintain that it is vital that every man and woman in the country must be utilized for the support of the army in the field and for the operation of the munitions fac tories.
 Thus 1t is apparent that even though men of all classes in the United King dom have come forward to do their great conflict has not been completed and cannot be carried to a successful conclusion unless there continues to be the same sort of response upon the part of it's people as there is in the case of the other nations. Thus it must be apparent to the people of that country that the success or failure of their system lies with them. With the daily loss running into the thousands it is evident that there must be a re- sponse to the call for more men or that country cannot hold up it's end in the great war. It means great sac rifice but it is the penalty of war.

MORE SHEEP WANTED.

The demand for wool and mutton is such that there is a renewed call for the raising of more sheep in this part of the country. That there is an opportunity for the development of this business cannot be questioned. We are told that New England is doing more in the way of raising cattle than it has in the past and there IS certain ly no insurmountable reason why simi- lar efforts cannot be put forth in be- half of sheep.
 The price Of meat animals is over 22 per cent. higher than the average for the past six years. It is nearly 24 per cent higher than a year ago and ten and a half per cent. higher than two years ago, so that there is an incen- tive for those who can raise sheep engage in the industry for the purpose of contributing to the supply of sheep, to say nothing of the market which always exists for Connecticut raised wool.
 tIn this connection there Is always offered the answer that dogs make it Impossible to make sheep raising prof liable. That the dog problem Is a se- rious one in this business rs&st be Admitted but 1t rests with the people of the state to say whether the dogs are going to be allowed to drive out B profitable industry or not. The dog Bvil can be overcome if there is the determination and the quicker it is tackled the better. Sheep are worth more than a lot of va1ueless dogs winch roam the country seeking what they can devour and the sooner the effort Is made to get rid of them or to protect the sheep from them, the better it will be for all concerned.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Small Town schaoIa.


 MT. Editor: I was interested in reading the article in The Bulletin of October 4, Small Town Schools Show Startling Ineficiency," and the criti- cisins of the schools in Chaplin sum- med up in the form of interrogations Presumably the town of Chaplin, with other towns in Connecticut, would like to ask if slate blackboards, free text books, drinking fountains, doormats, bulletin boards, and other things named, which all cost money, are real ly and actually necessary for efficiency in teaching the children. It seems to me that Chaplin and every other town large or small. in Connecticut should be the judge of what amount of money it can spend for it's schools. and these towns are all taxed now to their linn it, Regarding free text books, unless | am greatly mistaken. there is a law in the state whereby books are provid- ed for those who are unable to buy them, and many parents object to hay ing their children use books that have been used by others. Extravaganza is one of our national weaknesses. Persons, families, and towns, see and know of many things they would like to possess, but if they have not the financial resources to obtain these things, why should they be obliged to spend their money for those things not really necessary? Our children can learn lessons just as thoroughly, and teachers can do as good work with wooden blackboards and books owned by the pupils as with rne costlier aids purchased by the town, for which the people are taxed. Many thinking peo- pie are coming to the conclusion that the towns in the state should assert their right to be their own governing power instead of having the state tell them what they must do in order to be efficient.

MIR. HUGHES RECORD.

Few are the efforts which are being made to decry the record of Charles E. Hughes in public life, for his &C., complishments are sufficient refuta- tion thereof before anything of the kind is attempted. His record of achieve ment while he was governor of the state of New York speaks for it. self. It shows that he was a. worker in behalf of labor and in behalf of humanity in general
 It was during his terms as governor that New Yorlz's state department of labor was strengthened, that the com pulsory workingmen's compensation law was passed, that the child labor laws were made more stringent that the eight hour day was fixed Tor tele- graph and telephone operators, that the semi-monthly payment of railroad employees was ordered instead of monthly, that the law was passed to reduce the charges on small loans, that the law to regulate employment agen- ces was adopted, that the system of minor courts was reorganized and judges prohibited from being politi- cal leaders. that measures for better ventilation and sanitation in factories were enacted, that the limitation of the hours of labor of street railway employees was extended to all cities of the second class. that railway em- ployes were prohibited from being employed over 16 consecutive hours, that commission to investigate hous- ing conditions in New York was ere ated, to say nothing of many other laws of like character.
 It was his record which prompted the Legislative Labor News to de- <I-
 of labor laws that ever occupied the governors chair at Albany's His rec ord is one of valuable accomplishment and there is nothing which has trans pired in the meantime to undermine the belief that he will be of the same mind as the nations chief ex- ecutiVe

vfbration-the same principle which has been known to shake 10 its very foundation great bridge of steel and concrete when a dog trots across it.
 Another arms odity of Biblical in- terest was the ruse employed by Gid con, leader of only co0 hundred Israel ties, who successfully engaged vast hostof Mldianites and Amalelzites that lay along in the valley like grass hopers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seaside for multitude. Gideon's engines of destruction were 300 trurn- pets, 300 empty pitchers and 600 lamps within the pitchers. As the eneny's camp was approached during the night the pitchers were smashed, the lamps held aloft in the left hand, while ter rifying blasts from the 399 trunapets spread conSternation and terror among the sleepers who in darkness imagined that they had been attacked by a great army. The result was wholesale slaughter among themselves while the followers of Gideon watched.
 Greek Fire is term which has been aplied to various compounds through succession Of centuries go-
 ing as far back as 424 B. C., when at
 the siege of ,Delium a cauldron filled
 with sulphur, pitch and charcoal was
 placed against the walls of the city,
 ignited and the flames intensified by
 bellows attached to hollow tree
 trunk. The most famous of the Greek
 Fires, however, was that invented by
 the. architect Callinicus during the reign of Constantine Pogonatus. This particular engine of destruction was
 known as wet fire, on account of it's property of bursting into flame when
 wetted. Thrown from siphons, 1t fell upon the ships of. the Saracens caus- ing them to burst into flames. and thus Constantinople was saved to the Byzantine emperors for the time be- ing (66S).
 Probably more far-reaching in it's effect than any ether engine of war was the introduction of gun-powder on the battlefield. It was one of the
 most potent factors contributing to the overthrow of the great feudal sys- tenn, for 1t destroyed the superiority of the armored knight over the yeo- man foot-scldier, and as Carlyle has rightly said, 'Tt made all men of the
 same height Following the use of
 gunpowder in small arms came the in-
 Vention and development of the car-
 non, a weapon of which was employ
 cd with destructive effect against the
 walls of Constantinople when this his toric city finally fell into the hands of the Mohamnedans in 1452.
 "The aeroplane, the Zeppelin and
 the submarine have been developed
 gradually in times of peace prepara- tory for war, and are the products of Merrimac and the turreted Mnoitor which appeared suddenly and almost simultaneously on the horizon of naval | warfare during the American Civil War.
 The poisonous gases employed in trench warfare during the present European conflict may be viewed as
 deadly development of the ludicrous stink-pot weapons used by the Chin l ese for ages.'

THE PRESENT PROSPERITY

Much has been said by the adminis- tration supporters since the campaign was opened about the prosperity which the country is enjoying under the pres ent administration, without analyzing it very thoroughly or getting down to the real reasons for it. Taking up this important question in an address at Chicago ex-Senator Beveridge de- clares that this prosperity is spotted, meaning that there are certain sections where it is being felt and others where it is not.
 He says for instance: "Trhe adminis- tration points to our prosperity. Where is it? In Massachusetts? Yes. In California? No. Tn Connecticut? Yes. In Oregon. No. In Pennsylvania? Yes. In Washington? No. In the Missis- sippi Valley? Yes. In the western mountain states? No. Certain sections have industrial imitation, but other parts of the country have depression. Genuine prosperity must be nation wide"
 This is simply another way of say ing that those sections of the country which are feeling the effects of the war orders from Europe are prosperous. It is not, however. the result of any act of the administration but rather in spite of it's tariff for revenue only pol icy. It is the war which has saved this country from the continuance of the conditions which prevailed during -he administration prior to August 1914, and it is the prevention of the return of a similar situation which is demanded and which can be secured by the enactment of such a protective tariff as the republican party will give. Unless the Underwood law is changed the situation following the war is bound to be worse than it was just before the war opened. What is wanted is genuine prosperity for the whole coun- try such as has been obtained in the past and will be in the future by the introduction of sound republican prin- ciple in the treatment of the tariff.

POLITICAL.
The Farmers View,

The farmers view of the action of Congress in requiring railroads to pay certain employees a ten-hour wage for an elghthour day is thus expressed by Henry N. Pope, president of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers Union: T question the wis dom of Congress fixing wages of la Dor employed by private enterprises
 If the Government is going to fix wages for any one class of railroad employees, 1t should fix them for all classes, and if it has the power to increase wages 1t must also nave the power to decrease wages. Today we find the highest-pa laborers in the world making three times more mon ey than farmers. demanding a 25 per cent increase in wages, and Congress hastening to their relief" And the farmer, who pays the freight, pays the increase in wages.-Portland EX- press,
