SUPERIOR MANHOOD.

Following issanutfcr of the ten com mandnents issued by Con. Foch to Ethe army:
 Fear in mind that tfse enemy is your enemy and the. enemy of human sity until heis killed or captured, then he is your dead brother or your fel- low soldier -beaten4 or ashamed, whom yeu should. no further hsnHiiute.'
 These are the qualities In men which the high, enftanef Germans have |staught their people ito repudiate. and sby deception have led their soldiers while in enemy territary to violate. In Belgium they excited the ennity of the troops. against the people by telling them the wells were poisoned by the people and withholding water until their own enraged troops drsee their own guards from the wells and drank tue water which refreshed them lsand did them no harm. It was while in these frenzied and deceived moods that the soldiers committed shocking atrocities.
 These are the qualities which guar. anty to German prisoners Christian | treatment while they ara in the hands of the allies; and also are discfedit l ing the character of German rnilitar- 1 ism which by it's lack Of honesty and

AMERICAN BoNDHoLDERs.


 The fact that there are more than 20 million bondholders in America shows the faith of the people in their government.
 We had three Liberty bond issues sduring the. first year of the war, and Approaching ten billions in money was raised.
 In May. 1917. there were subscrip- <ions for billions in 90 days; only 2 billions were allotted Tn October. 1917, over 1-2 billions were subscribed in 27 days: and only k3.s0s, ,7ee,150 were allotted
 In April. 1918. billion were issued and in 2s days the subscriptions had exceeded the amount called for by more than a billion, so that the total allotted was s417o,019,650 The fourth Liberty loan is to be called for on September 2Sth and the bids will close Oct. 19, and in these 31 days. whether the call is for bil- Hons or billions. there is no doubt f will be promptly subscribed and a bit more.
 It is only by prompt action along these lines that we can assure our soldiers that America is with them While they are stalking their lives we zt home should be ashamed not to meet every requirement. with our money.

OCCASION FOR SURPRISE.

Since the ways and means commit tee of congress have found it neces- sary to put a revenue tax upon rail- road fares and theater admissions Boston rises to announce it's surprise that the bil1boards which are dis fgurement to all American cities and a blotch upon the landscape of the country adjacent to the railroad lines everywhere near large centers of pop ulation have apparently been entirely overlooked.
 These eye-sores have been a cause of intermittent agitation in different parts of the country for many years, and it has to be confessed that it is no easy matter to restrict them or keep them decent.
 These bill boards are property. and the source of a large income in many sections. hence the plea that it would be illegal to apply tax to them does not seem to be we'll founded.
 Boston deems this method of ob- taining revenue not only eommenda. ble, but hopefully looks toward it as a means of decreasing the number oi disf1guring signboards which are tc be found in her streets and suburbs.

WILL PIE BE SPARED

a The mouth for pie was born and bred in New England and the pie belt now extends nearly across the continent.
 There .s alarm lest the food admin isrator shall make an end of pie. In fact half a dozen great pastry estab- lishments have been ordered closed in New York as among the non-essen- tials; and the scream of Omaha is heard clear to the New England coast, which gives notice that "the biggest and brightest of all our local pie foun- dries finds itself tossed into the dis eardi"
 The Omaha Bee has this to say of pie: Pie and Plymouth Rock go to- gether: pie came to this country with Jamestown Pie has been a basis for existence through all our days. It lightened the lonely life of the pio- reer. soothed the wanderer in the will derness and has cheered the exist ence of millions who wrap their legs around lunch counter stools. or carry their own fodder at automats or cafe rerias. Are we now to forego oul sustenance and solace combined, ol shall we rise up as one man Tn oul indignation and demand that the food dictator leave us pie?"
 New England is calmer. for since the days of strawberry short -cakC there has been created scores of othel short-cakes, to say nothing of tn, doughnuts and cranberry tarts. w. have not lost our love of pie. but tn, other dear charmers will soften tn, hlow If the food administrator knovki pie out

The Connecticut Food Administra- ton has issued the following notices 10 the public which should be rigidly lived up to:

But it is surely hard ly logical for anyone to decide that the seven cents each for the women and not the forty three cents each for the men shall be the limit beyond which the price of democracy may not go.
 Fortunately there are not many men in our democratic world who offer to die for democracy and then want to save seven cents by refusing to prac- tice it. If there were any such, we might present to them the two fol- lowing observations: l. If in order to win the war we must pour into our war fund the money it would cost to provide voting places for women, why not save still more money by asking men to renounce their franchise and closing up the polls entirely? g. The present and past expenses of elections are and have been paid out of the taxes. In paying their taxes women have contributed their full share of The cost of mems voting. Isn't it time that men be asked to pay their share for women's voting? But it is not alone money that the suffragists

TIE AUNT OF THE VILLAGE

From London Times corre- spondent
 I wish I eeuid find sorae other word than Aunt; for about the word Aunt there lngerg a comic signifi- canoe; 3nd there is nothing comic about the Aunt of the Village unless she chooses that there shall be-. It is her sense of hirnof that makes her what she is; but you laugh with, not at. her.

She reads a great deal; and 1t seemed merely a happy acci- dent that the village boys should drop in to be read to on Sunday afternoons. She is up to all sorts of dodges in homermanagement, cleaning and cooking; but you never find her poking her nose in to see if your place is properly looked after She seems to know where your trouble is before you know it yourself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Democracy Is Not cheap

Mir. Editor: Democracy is not cheap. It never has been. Blood and treas ure almost beyond count have been spent to win and to keep the precious privilege of the ballot. And yet in the long years of their fighting for it, the people have not often wanted. to turn back. They have felt that even at this high price. democracy was worth while.
 And they have sacrificed and sui fered and died for democracy not be- cause they thought that when they got it. it would be cheaper form of government. They knew it would cost more. for a whole nation to vote than to have one crowned representative vote for them. They knew that con : gresses and parliaments elected by the people would cost more than con gresses and par1iaments appointed by a king They also knew, from long ex- perience, that added cost means add ed taxes. that the only place for a government to get money is from the people. They. the people, were going to have pay the difference. And yet they did not for this reason re- nounce democracy It seemed worth while even at that price.
 But perhaps none of us knew just | how precious democracy was to us until Germany threatened it. Now we know that we would sacrifice any thing for it. that without it life is hardly worth while.
 1 And yet there comes a new cry from the anti -suffra gists. that women tmust not now be enfranehised because the election expenses would be tod much And they feel particularly vir- t1ous in urging that the 20,e80, 900 wo-
 men of voting age in the United States
 be denied the franchise in order that

Some of the scenes in great cities such nights as last night (and Water bury is great city at such a time) are interesting and pathetic.t. For in- stance, the scene as described in the Sun as follows: Tn Prince street a girl in her late teens lay asleep across the sidewalk, an old sheet wrapped around her night dress, her bare feet protruding, and with the ex- ceptien of a small pillow under her head, nothing softer to rest upon than the stone sidewalk. Beside her slept soundly. her little sister. At a fruit stand close by youth divided his time between tending the stand and keeping watchful eye upon his sleep ing sisters. ."-Waterbur American.

 Austria may be automatically elin- ir4eted from the war by the disinte- grafton of her armies. They are al- ready melting away under the stress of internal conditions of discontent and the whole interior of the country is filled with bands of deserters. who are only shade removed from the bandit stage. Necessarily these ma rauders are a menace to the disci- pline of the forces that still hold loy- al to the emperor. They have the sympathy of the civilian population in the country districts and troops sent against them do not meet with much success, in many cases joining with them instead of wiping them out. Austria is in a perilous state. and no one can tell when she will throw up her hands had quit the Teuton league. -Ansonia Sentinel
