Our last legislature provided to
pay the tomato club girl the same sal
ary from the county that is paid the
superintendent of education, and be-
sides she was to draw salary also
from Winthrop and have $40 per
month for, travelling. I do not say
that was extravagant, but simply
mention it to point out the fact that
We have not yet come to appreciate
the Importance of the office of su-
oerintendent of education. Our own
legislature allows the farm demon
stration agent $1,000 for travelling
expenses and the superintendent of
education $500. l do not say the
farm agent is getting too much, but
I do know that the superintendent of
education travels more than the farm
agent, and that the allowance for
expenses will not meet half of what
it costs. It is. not right to ask the
superintendent of education to take
mis- salary to travel. He could cut
out some of the travel, but he would
;:ail to do his duty. The rural police
nan gets $500 per month more
;alary. l Go not object to that, and
10 not think it is too high, but l SIM
ply mention it to emphasize what l
I'M trying to say that we are enleav-
oring to enforce law and have good
citizens by force and with police
men Father than by education. And
we will never succeed. We are min
flying the education of our people
and magrifying the enforcement of
law by force, and we are working At
The wrong end. You can never reform
a people by the force cf law. 1t
must start with the education of the
:hild, and the big problems that are
before the world today for solution
must be solved through the school
'oom, and there is the place for US
to center our energy. We have got
20 get away from the idea that the
educational department of our coun-
y is simply a little disbursing Of
ice, and we have got to magnify it
more if we are to solve the big prob
ems that are confronting the peo-
ole of this day and generation.

Then there is the chairman of the
highway commission who is giving all
his time to the county. l believe the
law says he may draw $500 year.
And he is furnishing his own car and
paying his own expense of travelling.
No doubt in this case justice will be
done and some reasonable compensa-
ton will be provided for the services
of Mr.. Roulware. Then there is Clerk
of Court Wheeler, he says that he has
requested the hihgway commission
not to publish the salary he is paid,
because he does not care to have his
friends see what it is, and as to fees
he says that there is no longer any
such thing as fees.

The road building force is now
camped out on the Gibson road about
or near Mr.. Will Prices, and they
have graded out down to within a
mile of the nine mile post, and the

grading, That is the way this con-

omy they should be able to lay aside
a small amount that would stand
them IN good place when their day
of service was over, and they yet had
few years left in which to live.
Then the state and the county, which
being interpreted is the people,
should demand efficient and compe-
tent service.

AN EXCUSE.

The title for this article which |
have selected may be misleading,
therefore as a prelude, l may say
that what | am intending to write is
not to be construed in any sense as
an apology, or an appeal for pardon,
or to be freed of accusation CT fault,
or to be cleared from guilt or releas-
ed from any charge. But rather
use the word excuse in the sense OF
justification of what am going to
write. Or as Emerson puts it,
eff eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is the excuse for being.
And yet there may not be much
beauty in what l am going to try to
write, but / have been wanting to
say it FOR good while, and the o2-
portunity was there all the while,
but somehow now l feel l have the
excuse, in way, for being delivered
of this thing l have had in mind to
say for a long time. And yet there
NAV be folk who will think that even
the excuse does not exist, and posi-
bly, it would have been better to have
taken the opportunity rather than
the excuse. But at any rate l must
be delivered of it and will magnl-
fy what l term the excuse sufficient
" to permit me to get it out OF my
system. Of course I do not suppose
it will do any good, but I trust 1t
may do no harm, because no harm
is intended and it is all said IN
friendly sort Of way.

Now to get the belt line when you
get to Mr.. Bakers just follow the
old road down by Mr.. Charley Suber's
and out to the Gibson place and you
have a GOOD road without retraclng,
and drive of around twenty-five
miles which is about sufficient for one
afternoon. l have heard that Mr..
BoulWare of the highway commission
has said that he was going to have
the engineers mark out this little
piece of road from the Gibson place
to Mr. Bakers and then make 4 top
soil road for these three miles with
the chain gang, then the belt line
would be complete, and the people
down the Caldwell road could get out
to Whitmire over a highway without
having to come around by Newberry.
l hope Mr.. Boulware and the commits
sion viii do this. 1t will not take a
great deal of the time of the force
and will prove great convenience
to the people down this side.

finished as far as Indian creek. This
is going to be fine road. 1t has
been relocated in many places and
there is now fine road bed all the
way to Mr.. Bakers and when Indian
creek is gotten over about the most
difficult part of the road has been
finished. | take it that there Is much
more work yet to be done on the top
soiling of the road, but one can
scarcely tell about road until the
top soiling has had few good rains
and then been packed after the rains
bv the travel. And out this side after
you get about two miles from the
town of Newberry it is very dry and
dusty and there is need of rain. 1t
is really very nice road, and the
distance has been shortened a little
by taking out the curves, and it is
just about eleven miles to Mr.. Bak-
er's by this route, and about twelve
from there to town around by the
Gibson place, very little difference.

Canaan Hears Jubilee Singers

An audience that filled every available seat in the Town Hall waited to greet the five young men from Straight College, New Orleans last Thursday evening who appeared in their program of Negroe Spirituels and Plantation Melodies. The qdin- tet sang with that exquisite blend ing of tone and balance of parts which is so characteristic of Negroes voices and their vocal numbers were thoroughly enjoyed.
 Prof. Leuthi, a faculty member from Straight College who accom- panied the singers, made an eloquent appeal for the strategic educational work that is being carried on among the southern Negroes by the college in section where illiteracy is great CT than in any other part of the country, and the audience responded by a generous offering of $92.00 in behalf of this work.

MEMBER OF MURDER
 GANG IS ARRESTED
Positively Identified in Court by Mrs. Tony
 Boscardini

Search by members of the state police in this and nearby states for members of the gang who shot and killed John Siesseri on August Sd, has been rewarded at last with the arrest of Louis Luria, alias Louis Lorocco, alias Luigi Luria, of Ne wark, N. J. The arrest was made at Waterbury Tuesday night by State Officer Tomanio, as Lurla stepped from a train.
 Luria was brought here early Tuesday afternoon and was given a hearing before Justice Ford in the evening. He recognized and spoke to John Boscardini, Tony's brother, and said that he had sold calves to him. Luria also admitted that he had been here before and that he spent the night at Boscardini's, leaving early the next morning. It was at this time he was wanted in Waterbury.
 Mrs. Tony Boscardini at once identified Luria as member of the murder gang. She said "You're the fellow that asked me where Tony was that night" Under oath she testified that he was one of the gang, but could not say whether or not he fired the shots. The reason for the late visit to the home is now believed to have been revenge. Luria having the idea that Boscardini was respon- sible for his arrest in Utica, N. 4., after he had jumped his bail in Wa terbury, where he had been arrested by the police of that city charged with breaking into freight cars near Derby in August, 1920. His bail at that time was set at $2,00O, and he fled to Utica, leaving no clue as to his whereabouts.
 An investigation of a subsequent footing of freight cars here in Janu- ary of this year resulted in facts be- ing unearthed which led to Utica, and Luria's arrest followed. He was brought back to Waterbury and his case was placed on the docket of the June term of the superior court. He was released on bonds of $5,000. His trial was continued to the October term of the court which has not yet convened. Luria is believed to have been in Newark since the shooting.
 When searched, the sum of $215 was found in Luria's possession. He said he had not worked since last July Also that he had left Water. bury in July, 1920 for Newark, N. J.. where he had been employed in his fathers store.

NEW HAVEN ROADS
 NEW WARNING SIGNALS
EIectric Flashlight System to Pc Used at Highway
 Crossings

Announcement was recently made by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad of the installation at various points on the system, of new warming device for highway crossings over railroad tracks at grade. Experiments were made by this company covering a long period which resulted in the adoption of the Morrison Electric Flashlight High way Crossing Signal not alone be- cause of its reliability and visibility, but as we'll because of it's entire prac- ticability. The mechanism of the sig nal is as near perfect as human in- genuity can make it.
 To prevent accidents ct grade crossings has ever been the earnest desire of the railroad managem ant, and the New Haven has spent much time, money and inventive skill in the development of this new warning of danger. The purpose in the be- ginning was to obtain 8 highway crossing signal that would be dis tinctive, that would immediately att tract the serious attention of the highway traveller, that would be ab- solutely reliable, that would be of such a character as to indicate dan- ger in so clear a manner as to be thoroughly understood by every per son, one that would perform this function without special instruc- tions to the general public and one that would transmit this indication at least a thousand feet along the highway in either direction from the i crossing.
 To accomplish this was the prob. lem before the engineers who, in ap. preciation of the varying conditions considered successfully the elimina. tion of mechanisms and moving parts, especially those opened tc climatic conditions and to reduce tC a minimum all complications to make it simple. The flashing red electric light signal adapted to highway crossings approaches nearer the ideal to meet the above requisites than any other form of signal now in service.
 In developing the signal it wal naturally desirable to employ stand ard equipment so far as possible no only because of its availability bu because this would preclude expert mentation or the use of untriet parts. The basis of it therefore, wa the standard high powered sema
