other sections of the country than New England for the farmer has not been charged such exoresitank rates here abouts as ha has in the extensive farm lands of the west. There. there has been difficulty in securing sufffcient funds to properly conduct farm and even when it has been obtained the rate has been unreasonably high with the resuit that there was little to en- courage the farmer since all that he obtained was required to keep up the mortgage.
 The announcement has now been made that the rate for loaning money to farmers by the farm loan banks win be five per cent. This means that the farmer will hAve to pay in many cases only half of what he formerly did. or else that he can expand his efforts just twice as much for the same outlay. This rate win place the cultivator of the soil on an equality with the man of business in the large communities. It means more to other sections than it does to New England but 1t fs a matter which should prove of vast inn por4ance to the whole country In the way Of encouraging greater interest in agricultural pursuits, There are of course restrictions as to the amount which can be loaned and as to how it shall bs used but it cannot help being apparent that something is being done for the farmer. though 1t is no more than what he is entitled to.

A WISE MOVE.

By the withdrawing of his amend . ment to the bill before the general as- sembly which if passed will make it Impossible for girls under 16 years of age to sell newspapers on the streets, Senator Hall quickly terminated the opposition that has been manifested. By his amendment newsboys under 12 were to be included in the prohfbi- ton, but he has apparently seen the error of his course and preferred to eliminate his amendment than to at- tempt to pass something which would be a detrirnent instead Of benefit.
 There is an entirely different ques- ton involved when restriction is placed upon boys of a dozen years ton Is intended to apply in the case of girls. Tn many instances the great majority Of the newsboys are over l2 yeGrs foue tas fact that those who Rre not and desire to earn little money for their own usa CT for the benefit of their families ought not to be denied them. There Is no violation pf the child labor law in allowing boys to carry papers. Such is done either before or after school in most cases and many a man prominent in affairs has gotten his start by just such work. It provides something to do in spare hours. It builds up the idea of thrift and teaches many valuable lessons for future careers. The boys are not sub- feet to the same dangers that girls are In that kind of employment and there should be no such restriction as was proposed.
 It is a happy solution of the matter which has been reached by the with drawal of the amendment. It would have been better if it had never been proposed.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.


 The decision which has been hand cd down by the United States su. preme court settles by a sharp divis- ion of opinion among the justices of that body the rights of congress to pass such legislation as the Adam son act. It szttles the question of the eight hour day and. according to the interpretation given to it. it gives con- gross the right to arrange for'the com- plete regulation of the transportation For some time since the appointment of the interstate commerce commits sion, the railroads of the country have been subject to the reg uIation Of that body. Tt is necessary to appeal to that body for the privilege of raising rates and 1t Is obligatory upon the roads to back up their appeals by the facts in obtaining any such pernlis- sion In other words the raiIros ds must prove to the satisfaction Of the commission that an increase is sl,so- 1utely necessary if they are going to dc business end secure g. reasonable profit. before such will ts allowed
 Ir hss not been so with laboc. La- bo- coHI6 malSe as many 6eansnds as if wished of the roads fer inc~ea scd pay OF shorter hours and threatSn to strike if it did not get them, but there was nothing which could force an arbitration of the demands. They must be accepted or the railroads, the public and the country were in dan ger of heing subjected to the condi- lions which would follow a tfeing up of the railroad lines.
 The supreme court in upholding the law declares that congress has the power to fix wages and it is necessary therefore for congress to get busy and proceed to enact a law which will cover the regulation of this matter. That will mean that both sides will then be subject to this matter of reg ulation, and when the legislation Is passed 1t should mean the end of act- ual or threatened railroad strikes.

THE NEW RUSSIA.

It is only what might be expected when it is claimed in reports from Berlin that Germany Is startled at the Russian plans. It has reason to be whether it results from the steps which Russia under the provisional government Is taking regarding re- forms or the prosecution of the war. There appears to be little ground for the belief. however. that Russia will soon be separated from the entente.
 Germany's surprise can be attrib- uted to the fact that the people of Russia possessed the strength and or ganization to overthrow the govern ment and depose the czar. through whom German influence had been such as to greatly imperfl the country and seriously embarrass it in the prosecu- ton of the war.
 At the same time 1t cannot help making the heads of the imperial Ger man government do some serious thinking as to what the people of that country may yet do to bring about similar reforms. The lesson which has been taught by the Russian revolution is a powerful one. It is bound to i'm press wherever heard and as the story spreads it is sure to convince others of the advisability of insisting upon rights the same as other people. Chan cellor Bethmann Hollweg has already interpreted what the effect Of this Russian example is going to be and advised reform action in anticipation thereof.
 But from the unity which Russia is showing for a more energetic prosecu- ton of the war. Germany has small ground for anticipating that it's trou- bles from that direction will soon be lessened. Rather has it reason for reaching the conclusion that with the German hand eliminated from the Rus sian affairs, that country will become a worse anta gonist than ever.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
sttling.


 Mfr. Editor: As folks who req sson STOW older they realize more and more that the period of childhood cherishes the sense of honor at it's keenest Even a little tot will many times shame its elders with a display of sense of hon or that's amazing. From this it ap- pears that one of the worst mistakes Of our American domestic life is the fact that honor is permitted to Ian gulsh in the breasts of children. It is in youth that it should be most carefully nourished. The young man or woman who steps forth in the free dom of life would be far better euuip- ped for the fray if their parents would keen sense of honor that their chil- oren displayed in childhood. Souls grow calloused enough after a few years of worldly experience, but it is a known fact that men and women Wno nave developed a high type of honor in their youth are rarely ever known to yield to the temptations of life. They may sin. but their honor VII lead them to repent. And he or she who repents and keeps fighting for better things will never be wholly lost tc usefulness.
 One of the most undermining traits Of Character is the childish custom of tattling. It poisons the will of those who make it a habit and we can all recollect how we, when children, de- spised a tattler. TattIing breeds many xmas or Soul-sfcknesS. It makes ton gues more envenomed than a rattler's fangs and causes those who shun it to despise and fear those who yield to 1t. Parents who find their children inclined to tattle should stifle the fault with all the ability they possess Just as sure as they permit tattling to be- come a habit just so sure are they robbing their child of it's natural chances in life. For a sense of honor cannot exist in a tattler.s heart and without a sense of honor a young man or woman is crippled for the battle of life even before it is begun
 Would you have your child grow into despised and heartily detested gosstper who blasts it's fellows? No. Then see that the poison of tattiing or tafe-bearfng does not enter their hearts and habits.
 Respectfully,
 March r. 1s17

It is not every one who is willing to make a sacrifice of valuable real estate in order to spare some~beauti- full trees, but Fairfield possesses at least one such person in Miss Anna B.. Jennings, who has given the Connecti- cut company a right of way over land belonging to her in order to make it unnecessary to cut down the vener- able elms which line FairfeId's main street, when the town Is double tracked for increased trolley service. Tn this concession made by Miss Jen- nings the citizens of Fairfield have received a greater gift than they may realize at the present. Of old colonial traditions. rich in historic interest, Fairfield alone of the towns bordering on Bridgeport has managed to retain its atmosphere and charm despite the influence of it's vigorous neighbor on the east. How much of this atmos- phere is due to tradition and how much to the charming homes and the beautiful trees we cannot pretend to estimate; but this much is certain take away the trees and leave the streets bare and bleak and Fairfield will be Fairfield no more.--Bridgeport Telegram.
