His courage was contagious. When

held 1t out of reach while lie kissed
and toyed with and disarranged her
hair. In revenge, she snatched from
his pocket his little black memoran-

or pretended to read them, and seiz-
ing her opportunity she broke from

Anent the lookup.
That the lookup in its present con-
dition is a disgrace to the town of
Plainville Is the consensus Of the
townspeople. This fact will be readi-
ly admitted by anyone who has had
occasion to explore the basement of
the town hall within the past few
months.
Although the services Of a janitor
are being paid for by the town the
conditions now prevalent both inside
and outside of the steel cages are de-
plorable. The old question Of pro-
viding more adequate quarters is again
being discussed.
Inside one Of the steel cages this
morning were bottles, pals and other
things which speak of anything but
So nitation. The blankets which are
provided for those who fall into the
around on the hunks and gave off a
nauseating odor as though they had
rot been cleaned for months.
Several citizens suggested that it
might be good idea for the health
officer to make an investigation Of
the conditions which exist there.
Town Clerk Usher expressed him
self this morning as being in favor
of a new structure being erected
which would serve only as a lookup.
He said that such building could be
erected on the south side of the town
hall but separate from it.
AS things are now, anyone who
wishes is at liberty to obtain. access
to the inner recesses of the town hall
where the steel cages are placed In
other towns visitors are not allowed
to enter the jails at random but first
must obtain permission. Also the
doors of the town hall are said to be
left open night and day and citizens
claim that lights in the building have
been allowed to burn all night

We need no more than call attention
tn the article on this page by Prof.
Henry w. Farnam of Yale University
1T makes its own comment by pre-
senting the facts in a way that cannot
be discounted. Some of us may
squirm when it is brought home to US
that we are miniature submarines in
the service Of Prussianism, but can we
get away from the indictment?
Prof. Farnam has presented concise
ly the meat of less coherent arguments
against the liquor traffic and the to-
bacco folly. IL an enlightened people
do not seize the present need as an OPP
portunity to demonstrate the increased
efficiency of human force free from
the benumbing and brutalizing effect
Of alcohol and nicotine, then perhaps
the greatest possible benefit from the
cruoible Of war will have been lost

of which we are capable, we assure
him that our criticism Of the admin

of insult and abuse will cause him TO
DO something, this year. He says:
"For some the right course is plain,

On that score we wish to go on record
