THE OWEN BILL

!" HEN THE Owen bill becomes law it will no longer be
w possible for Mr. Hill and his friends to accumulate
campaign fund Of $4,000 hur into the election
Fairfield county, in his interest.
congressman running in district aside from certain
personal carare and telephone bills will be linn
tied to S. OO from all Individual contributions to
these individual campaign funds exceed $780,
the make the expenditure Of these
This must be done through committee Nor candidate
for congressman solicit funds directly indirectly.
Measuring the methods employed by Mr. Hill and his
friends in two recent campaigns against the provisions of this
BILL it will be seen that the bill brings entirely different
moral viewpoint into congressional campaigns.
The provisions against election betting and the publication
of betting odds wholesome It is made eonous to bet
election, to print the betting Odds Something that has
always been against public policy made criminal Inducing
bet mehodvith politicians "Ge mans money
down, and you get him" is the maxim. ="
Wall street has habtually influenced election results by
publishing fictitious Odds favorable to the candidate of its
choice.
The fund allowed to national committees, 100000, to
individual contribution above $500 be made is
reasonable enough but the fund permitted state commit
tees, excessive.
In Connecticut state committee any party could
pend about $4,000.
The bill has teeth, and will make good law.

THE CANDY SAINT"

Probably few of the confectioners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "sweet tooth" are aware that
they have a patron saint al their own,
but such is the case. He is st. Maca-
RUS, and his festival is celebrated to-
day. Macarius was adopted by the
confecttoners as their protector be-
cause he himself followed the occupa-
ton Of making sweets in alexandria
before he forsook the world and it's
ways and retired to the Thebais in up
per Egypt to live the solitary and self
sacrificing life Of an anchored. Maca-
RUS lived in the fourth century, and,
if we may believe the traditions con-
corning him, he was a champion
faster. For seven days, it is related
he lived on a diet composed of raw
herbs and pulse. During Lent he ate
only on Sundays, and then only a few
cabbage leaves. One of the remark
able tales told about the candy saint
is that once, having killed a gnat that
bit him, he expiated the Crime by
spending six months in marsh where
great volumes Of flies abounded, sub
jecting him to such torments that he
became a mass of putrid sores.

THE HERO OF QUEBEC.

Good God! To think that 1 should
try and of the Administered ton to such
hands!"
Thus Pitt, the great English states
man, to Lord Temple, after an inter-
view with James Wolfe, the young
soldier who was SO soon to achieve
Immortality and death on the bloody
battlefield of Quebec.
1t was not without reason that Pitt
made this exclamation, for, according
to Lord Temple had assumed an air
Of bravado, drawing his sword and
f1ourishing it or banging it on the
table, while he talked of the wonder
full things he would accomplish with
that weapon.
Wolfe was born just 100 years ago
today and he was only 80 when he set
out on his last great mission. BY ma
ture he was shy and retiring and not
at all given to, bOasting, and it may
have been the traits which. through
sheer nervousness and excitement, led
him to the opposite extremes of de-
meanor when he was summoned by
Pitt to receive the statesman's final
verbal instructions.
The little Kentish town of Wester-
ham boasts of being the birthplace of
the conqueror of Canada. The great
city Of London. spreading out in all
directions, has engulfed many of the
old landmarks of Wolfe's boyhood
days, but the pilgrim may still find
many spots sacred to the memory of
the hero of Quebec. Col. Wolfe, his
father, was a native Of the north of
England while his mother was from
Yorkshire. The Colonel belonged to
a family that had been prominent in
southwestern ireland for centuries,
and which still has many representa-
tives in Tipperary, Cork and Limerick
General Wolfe's great-grandfather
was Catholic and was implicated in
a rebellion and sentenced to be exc
cuted, but he escaped, fed to Eng
land-of all places!-turned Protest.
ant, and became the progenitor Of
loyal Britons.
AS a boy, James Wolfe was of a
sensitive and impressionable nature,
and from his toddling days he burned
with warlike ardor. His younger
brother, Edward, was deeply attached
to James, and followed him in all his
projectsI even to the wars on the
continent, where he found an early
grave.
James was only 1 when he had his
first experience as a soldier in a camp
on the Isle of Wight, but he got no
farther, for he became seriously ill,
and was sent back to his mother and
his school. Two years later, a lanky
STRIPPING of Is, Wolfe sailed away
from England's shores to begin in
Flanders the military career so brief,
but so pregnant with glory.
