ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Newspaper Today Not, as Of Old, the
MOuthpiece Of ANY Individual
or Party.

Not SO many years ago a newspa-
per was printing press surrounded
by group Of individuals chiefly con-
cerned in getting their own private
theories or doctrines before their
readers.
Today the newspaper is an engine
of public service. Its success flnan-
cially and morally Is measured by
the degree in which 1t supports not
party but the people.
Those today who have a Twentieth
century ideal of achievement separate
the newspaper from the Individual and
make 1t first and foremost an organ
of public service built by the people
for the people. The journal which
most nearly fulfills its highest pur-
pose is that which is indlstinguish-
able in policy from the natural trend
Of progress and march of liberty and
free thought
Political prizes were the aims Of
the old-time editor. His policies were
based on his own party interests and
he discussed every public question
with a ferocity and partisanship pro-
portlonate to the reward he expected |
to get out of 1t.
The establishment of an institution,
living thing, which represents the
public interest and nothing else-that
should be the ideal of the editor
1t is this ideal which has made
newspapermen priesthood and has
separated them-some of them-from
politics. For this age is not ma
terlalistic age-in spite of opinion to
the contrary.-Vancouyer Sun.

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery in Jerusalem Solves Much
Of Mystery Connected With King
Solomon's Temple.

how often great discoveries sprins
from tritling incidents! The trite re.
nectfon comes to mind naturally on
hearing how the quarries Of King Sol
ONION were found. DR.. Allen Moore,
Tor IL years resident Of Palestine,
tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore. travellers and psychologists
were puzzled to know where the enor-
nous blocks of stone still standing in
the ruins Of SOlOmon's temple at Jeru-
salem were Quarried One day a lit
tie dog chased lizard down a hole
among the debris. The next instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down in vain. He called, and
TO his amazement his voice came back
as from great depths. He summoned
assistance, and passage was opened
INTO immense Subterranean Quarries.
There were found huge masses Of
stone almost ready to be hOisted
above ground.
And don't you remember" asks
Doctor Moore, that we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built
without sound of saw or of hammer?
Inc fact that the quarryman worked
underground partly explains that"
Upon some of the stones were found
Inscriptions that perplexed the explor-
ITS until one scholar pronounced them
Phoenlcian. The stones were wrought
~ some of that army Of workmen sent
y klng Hiram Of Tyre to aid King
solomon In his task.-Youth's Com
)anion.

Solve commutlnn prohIern

Residents of Kalabagh, on the In
dus river In India, have solved the
problem of committing between their
homes and the valley, three miles up
stream, where they till q very fertile
soil. The village is in a desert, ex-
cept for this small valley.
In the morning the villagers walk
to the valley, but In the evening they
initiate goatskin bags which each man
carries, and wade out into the swift
stream of the river. This carries them
rapidly down stream, and steering
with their hands they can reach the
bank just outside the small, mud
walled houses In which they live.

Kennedy Says the
Quality a Good One

There has been very light move
ment of loose tobacco during the
past week. Most of the stock that is
moving is going to prize houses to
be priced for the account of the
owners who will sell through the
association. There are still some
small sales on the loose floors which
are made privately and also an oc-
casional load sold on the streets.
Practically all of it is low and COM
mon grades selling low, but most of
the tobacco shows damage from
hanging in the barns too long or
oversweating.
The Planters Association report
sales of about Is hogsheads leaf
and Jugs. Most Of the leaf was low
and common grades, selling at IL
IS cents, but an occasional hogs
head Of better quality sold higher.
A few hogsheads of new crop self
workers and wrappers have sold at
prices ranging from 20 to 80 cents,
but the market is practically bare
of good wrapper stock.
The weather for the past week
has continued very warm for the
season, and has been threatening,
but very little rain has fallen. Cut
ting is in progress over the entire
district and farmers generally are
using good judgment in cutting
only the ripe plants. Some sections
have cut very much more than
others. We estimate that something
like one-third Of the crop has been
cut and housed and is being fired.
We have seen little of the early
cutting that is partially cured and
it shows splendid body and good
quality. The crop is curing rather
dark and indications are that the
crop will generally be dark in color.
The crop continues to improve
and even the late tobacco is devel-
oping very rapidly. If weather con-
dit,ons continue favorable through
next week no doubt something like
two thirds Of the crop will go in the
house well matured and in good
shape.
1t is hard to estimate what the
yield of this years crop will be.
We have only about so per cent of
an average acreage with very
poor stand on good deal of it,
but the fine growth and heavy
body is going to make up largely for
the shortage in acreage. We have
been estimating IS million pounds
for this district as the outside yield,
but with continuation of good
weather and the crop we'll matured,
1T is possible for US to have a yield
equal to last year, which we esti-
mate at a little above 65 million
pounds. I don't think the yield will
be this large, but believe it is posi-
BILE To be conservative we think
S. million pounds a good guess, and
the indications are that the quality
will be good with larger percent
Of useful leaf than we have seen for
years, and the percentage of Jugs
and low grades will be light.

SUES HIS BROTHERS

Florida Man Brings Action Against
Meriden Relatives, Seeking Share
Of Estate.
Meriden. March ,23.-Papers' were
served here today and property at
tached for $4,000 in a novel suit by
William E. Woolley, Of Glenwood,
Fla, against two of his brothers, Jo-
seph and George A. Woolley in which
he seeks to secure his share Of the
estate of his father, w. T. Woolley,
who was a prominent merchant here
and a large property holder in Flori-
da. His two daughters and four sons
shared generously of his estate with
the exception of William E., who was
left only the income from $4,000. This
was due, it is alleged, to a violent dis
like by the testator OF his sons wife
and the plaintiff in the present suit
says that an agreement was made by
the father with the children that If
w. Els wife died or there was a di-
vorce he should share equally in the
estate with his brothers. She has died
and w. e. Woolley says Thomas H.,
is the only one so far to settle with
him.

RAILROAD OFFICIAL
Tells NEED OF Cash
Buckland of New Haven
Road Argues For 10 Per
Cent Increase i'm Rates.

Boston. March 23.-Edward g.
Buckland, yiee-president of the New
Haven railroad, today told the gov
ernors' committee that is investigat-
ing the necessity of an increase of
10 per cent in rates of the New Eng
land roads, that the movement for
the increase was the result of a
study OF conditions by all the roads
of this section. 1t was not instigated
by the New Haven alone, he said.
Buckland quoted
figures in an attempt to show that
il was no longer necessary for the
New Haven to get increased rates for
any of the New England transporta-
ton companies.
Presenting a list of securities Of
the roads leased lines aggregating
approximately $30,0O0,000 he said he
was endeavoring to borrow money
from New York bankers to help the
road in it's present situation with
these securities as collateral but the
New York bankers he added, were
unwilling to lend on the security Of
fered because it did not represent an
investment which was making money.
He had been able to borrow $4,000
600 from Boston bankers, however,
he said.

STILLMAN DEFINITELY CHARGES WIFE
WITH UNFAITHFULNESS,N NAMES INDIAN
COURTEOUS BANDITS
HOLD UP, ROB TRAIN
Line Up Passengers at Point of Gun
and Take Cash, But Are
Very Polite

Muskogee, Okla. March 23.-Two
masked bandits boarded the Missouri
Kansas and Texas railroads special at
Denison, Tex, last night. robbed every
passenger in three sleeping cars and es-
capped in a waiting automobile. The
loot was estimated at more than $1,000
in cash. Bloodhounds at the state
penitentiary at McAlester have been
taken to trail the bandits.
AS the train pulled out of Denison the
robbers began their work. One bandit
carrying two pistols lined the passen-
gers on the first car in the aisle. His
companion searched the travellers taking
only cash. Men and women were
searched with what one passenger de-
scribed as utmost courtesy
The robbers then ordered the. door
locked and proceeded to the second car
and then to the last car. With them
went the porter and the brakeman.
Then the bandits ordered the brakeman
to signal the engineer to stop and the
train halted at the edge of McAlester.
Passengers say they observed an auto
mobile draw up to the train. The
bandits leaped into the car and sped
away.
In the meantime the conductor, who
had been at the front of the train
learned of the holdup. He managed to
attract the attention of the station
master at Kiowa, to whom he flung a
note. Word was flashed to McAlester
where a posse was formed and awaited
the train.

Especial to The Herald)

Hartford, March 23.-At the state
capitol this morning, Isadore Simons
representing the New Britain Tax
payers Protective association, inter-
viewed Attorney General Frank
Healy in what was said to be an en-
deavor to have Mayor o. F. Curtis re-
moved from office. He is said to
have made the statement that the
Taxpayers association would be per-
fectly satisfied to have Alderman c.
j. Dehm assume the reins of the
city government, he being the pres
ent mayor pro. tenn, provided the
moval of Curtis. Mr.. Simons
brought witnesses before Judge e. L.
Smith. United States district attorney,
yesterday afternoon with the same
end in view. Judge Smith was of
the opinion, however, that the case
was not one for the United States
court to consider.
Mr. Simons announced his inten-
ton, also, of having his counsel,
Judge Joseph P. Tuttle, at the hear
ing before the committee on cities
and boroughs tomorrow afternoon
when the proposed amendments to
the New Britain city charter are
brought up for ratification He will
instruct his lawyer, it is understood,
to protect the rights of taxpayers to
take part in city meetings, which
rights he believes are jeopardized by
the adoption of the city meeting
board plan.
Interested parties, it is understood,
will oppose the clause of the city
meeting board plan which excludes
city officials employees or commits
sioners from election to the conven-
ton, when the matter comes before
the legislative committee.

virtually all hope for his recovery

In the budget of the board of
finance and taxation. which is the one
adopted last year and the plan under
which the city government is being
conducted this year. practically every
cent of back taxes owed the city was
figured as estimated income. Those
familiar with the workings of the tax
system argued that 1t was an unwise
policy since 1t would be almost impos-
sible to get in all the money. and the
income would probably fall far below
the estimates as far as taxes are con-
cerned. The outcome was feared, with
the taxes showing a deficit of approx
imately $4,000.
