INSP FIRING RALLY.

Seldom have newspaper men of this state attended a more enthusiastic and inspiring rally or heard more real facts regarding our preparation and partici- patton in the great world war, than at the Connecticut Editorial Association's s war rally held at the Hotel Garde in New Haven, on Saturday evening of last week. To the average newspaper writer, banquets and rallies are not looked forward to with the same anti cipation as that usually experienced by others. but rather as function which must be attended because of it's value as news article. The rally of the edi- torial association, however, was out of the ordinary and we feel safe in say ing that there was not one dull nom.

OVER THE TOP.

Once more the people of North Ca- naan have come to the front and set an example for other Litchfield county towns in patriotism. by going over the top in the Third Liberty Loan cam paign on the second day of the drive, to the tune of over $7,OOO and with subscriptions still coming in at a gratifying rate. Such spirit, enthusi- asm and willingness on the part of the people was never excelled in any other town and every subscriber to the Third Liberty Loan may well feel proud of the fact that they helpel to keep the standard Of patriotism, for which this state and this county in particular is noted, in the place which it has held so long
 Other towns, similar Tn size have raised much more than this towns quota, due to generally wealthy population, but North Canaan can feel particularly proud, even though the subscriptions in the aggregate are not so large, because of the fact chat few people here do not own bond of some denomination. Tie small sub. scriptions and plenty of them show that the town as whole is solidly back of the government and the people are willing to do everything in their power to help win this war.
 The town as a whole deserves much credit, but we must not overlook the fact that the committee of ladies who can- vassed this town deserve large part of the credit for the success which the campaign has already attained. Other organizations have done good work, but in every campaign which this town has had, there have been a num- Der of ladies who have worked hard and successfully for the one reason that they wanted to do their part. / Now that we have done so we'll in only two days, every individual should make every effort to do at least as well as in the previous campaign, when the quota for this town was much larger than it is now. With over $40, ,OO0 already subscribed this should not be difficult task and even though 1t should we feel that the people of this town are equal to the demands which love and honor for our country make upon us all.
 There is one fact which should not be overlooked, and that is the effect of the sale of these bonds on the boys in the trenches and iD the various camps, who will watch with eager eyes the result of this campaign in their home towns. These boys, YOUR sons and YOUR brothers will gain inspiration and encouragement when they know that the folks back home are doing their part.

ent for any one there, from the time dinner was served until the last speech
 was m ade.
 Governor Holcomb, Connecticut's greatest war governor and grand old man, in his brief review of this state s activities previous to the war and up
 10 the present time, pointed with pride
 to the fact that this state leads ali others in so many ways that it really stands ont alone The honor in having such reputation is largely due to the keen forosightedness of the governor and to him much credit is due.
 In the speeches which followed by Congressman Husted of New York and
 s. Bedding Bertron, the newspaper men found much food for thought and left many with an unexpressed wish that the people of the many towns which were represented, could hear these very importanc facts as they were given by these men who have been and still are in such close touch with the war situation here and abroad. These men told facts which were surprise to many and brought the situation in France and Russia so near home that the greatest pacifist there eff there were any) could not but feel inspired and invigorated to such an extent that we lock forward to far less harsh criticism of the government and general feeling that 'fwe must hang together or hang alone''.
 Dr. Talcott Williams of Columbia University was conceded to be the real speaker of the evening and told in a manner, except from the of the real American indi- vidual whose one ambition is victory for our arms and harmony between the government and the people. of the gi- gantic task ahead of us all in prepar- ing at home and fighting abroad. There was no politics in Dr. Williams speech nor was there feeling of resentment towards those who had made mistakes which cost so much at the present time; there was radiance of patience and understanding by this great scho- lar whose studies have brought him in closest touch with the war situa. ;ion and yet nas left his wonderful mind unsullied.
 The Editorial Association is to be on this rally which will ong be remembered by those fortunate enough to be present. Those who could not be present missed one of the most inspiring gatherings of fellowcrafts. nen eversheld in this state.

Negroes Are
For Stanley.

The Blue Grass News, of Licking
ton, edited by one Of the most influ-
ential negroes of his section. T.. ID.
Willis, came out in a strong endorse
ment Of Gov. Stanley for the L. S.
Senate, in the issue of last week and
made a special appeal to his race to
vote for him, because at the risk of
his own life he went TO Murray,
where a mob was trying to intimidate
the court. and saved colored man
from its vengeance by an appeal to
the better natures of the crowd ana
telling them that il they attempte I
to lynch the man, it would have to
do so over his dead body The News
says that for this, the colorei race
owes GOV. Stanley debt Of gratitude

that they can in q measure repay by
their votes, and urges them to do so.
The paper also praises the governors
efforts to secure legislation for bet
ter protection Of the negro race and
adds that all his acts have shown the
utmost endeavor to give it every con-
letters from Rev p. II. Kennedy, of
Henderson, and Rev ]. r. Morrow, of
Lexington. also commencing the gov
ernor and urging the negro to show
his appreciation of his many acts of
favor to him. There seems to be a
general feeling among the more in
telligent of the race to reward the
governor with their votes and stop
herding with the republicans almost
in body There is also desire to
show their resentment to DR.. Ben l..
Bruner for his vote in the Lexing-
ton convention giving the negroes
but an eighth of a vote representa-
tion in the body. although in the cleo
tons they have their principal re-
lance for any sort of showing.
The negroes are finding out their
real friends and unless all signs go
for naught are going to stop follow
