MUST HAVE PERMIT.
Otherwise Jitneys Cannot Be Oper-
 ated in This State.

New Haven, Aug. 5.-Jitneys can- not operate anywhere in this state without a. permit from the public utilities commission according to a decision handed down by the su- preme court here. The court, in an opinion written by Justice Howard J. Curtis, found no error in former de- cision given by Judge John R. Booth in the court of common pleas in this county, in which he imposed a fine upon Louis Darazzo, the defendant in an action brought by the state.
 The decision is taken to mean that the supreme court holds that the jitney laws are constitutional and that the public utilities commission Is vested with full power for their enforcement. Darazzo fought the case single handed, other jitney men having dropped the fight after de- cision was rendered against them in the lower courts.

DOOMED SOCIALISTS
 IGNORE FINAL PLEA
Those Condemned to Death Say They VIII Not Change Policies
 to Get Liberty.

Moscow, Aug. (By Associated at the trial of the 34 social revolu- tionists on charges of treason when the chairman of the revolutionary tribunal. NJ. Piatikoff, asked the de- fcndants to give the court an intima - ton in their flnal pleas of what their attitude toward the soviets would be in the future in the event they were liberated.
 The majority of the first group of prisoners ignored the chairman's re- quest declaring they would uphold to the end the party principles in the struggle for which they had spent vir- tually their whole lives.
 Aneram R. Gotz. who was once a member of the soviets central execu- tive committee declared that as far as the foreign policy of Russia was concerned he and his comrades were willing to support the recognition Of politics they would continue to strug- gle against sovietism. oppose the dic- tatorship of the communist policy and urge as strongly as possible q regime of democracy.
 None of the accused asked for mercy and one of the women defend- ants with dramatic gestures declared that she would always carry the same enmity toward the soviets and that in the face of the indications that the death sentence was to be imposed she took occasion to announce that she had forgiven the informers who by their statements have virtually sealed my doom.'

POSTMASTER TIRED OF JOB.
Pennsylvania Official Resigns. Com blaming of Long Hours, Small Pay

Clearfeld, Pa, Aug. 5.-That the job of running the frst-class post of- fee of this city is one to try the pa- tienc of Job and that the postmaster does not find himself enjoying bed of roses" after having the job wished on him is demonstrated by the action of Postmaster w E. Tobias, who has sent his resignation to Postmaster General Work.
 The Clearfield office entered first class in~the first year of Postmaster Tobias term, when the postal receipts reached the s40.o0o mark. Last year the receipts were more than s68,00o, but the post office department expects the postmaster to handle the added business with practically the same force.
 Postmaster Tobias says life is en- tirely too short to devote seven days a week, thirteen hours day to such a job for s3.300 a year.

eminent in 1924 to: 1929 when the
Canadian government was poor and
in an unsettled condition. The canal
was twenty-six and nthree-fourths1
miles long and connects Lake Erie
with Lake Antario, Lake Erie being
1926 feet higher than Lake Ontario
and the difference in elevation being
met by seven locks. The canal was
made to carry fourteen feet of water
and it proved so profitable and such
great developer of commerce and
of new farms and stock raising that
it was enlarged twice between 1923
and 1880. 1t proved to be such a
great developer of business that in
1913. the Canadian government APP
propriated $30,O00,00O for further
improvements and engagements and
undertook the task of making it 200
fleet wide on the bottom and Is feet
deep. There were seven locks eighty
feet wide and 800 fact long, but the
work was suspended in 1917 on &C
count Of the war. Up to the time
the work was suspended the Ger
mans were constantly trying to blow
UP strategic points on the canal and
ruin it. 1t is still in operation
under the old plan, not enough of
the new work being done to open it
to the larger ocean steamers.
The Chicago Drainage

Up to the year 1900 all the sewer
age of the city of Chicago was poured
into the Chicago river and ran into

poison that could be traced far out
into the lake aiming straight for the
intake of the water system that sup
piled drinking water for the city.
The pier where the water was taken
in from the lake was eight miles
out, and during the Worlds Fair at
Chicago in 1898 visitors used to go
up on the high buildings and look
out over the lake and see that green

THE GREAT TREND UF
THE TINES

The moral and spiritual condition
of the world is in a very critical
stage at the present time, and it will
be interesting to live to witness the
developments of the next few years.
In some respects the present time
is like the days of the French revolu-
ton and after it. There was great
unrest, and a disposition to wipe out
old institutions and set up some
thing else in their place.
There was a general analysis Of
every phase of existence and human
desires, and a disposition to be
guided by and to try to satisfy all
desires that seemed to be based on
nature and instinct. There was a
strong movement to disregard re-
ligion and to set up some standard
in it's place. based on what they
symbolzed in the goddess Of reason.
There was a popular agitation
directed at the study of the institu-
tion of marriage and it's failures, and
there was strong conviction that
anything that strewed the shores of
human existence with so many
wrecks and disappointments as did
the marriage laws and customs of the
times, might with perfect safety be
discarded, for, they said, anybody
could devise a substitute that would
be as good, and an idiot could not
do much worse.
People who were responsible for
the abuse of the old institutions,
toll ri 1ni nj If
the church dignitaries and other
leisure classes of those who study
the science Of government, or pre-
tended to, were rounded up and
taken by wholesale to the guillotine
to have their heads clipped OF, that
being considered the determination
of the idea. And while it made those
institutions and customs very IN
popular for a while, SO unpopular
that 1t seemed to have exterminated
the idea, yet what was set up in their
stead did not do any better and did
not satisfy human desires and
human hopes any better, and after
the fever had run it's course there
was a settling back to the former
rites and customs of religion and
marriage.
In the present period Of disturb
ance, fraternal orders are flourish
ing, and are to a great extent dis
placing religious activities. Young
men and women are not taking
theological courses as they once did,
and the little churches are being left
without pastors. There is a more
widespread exercise of the fraternal
spirit and possibly of religion, with
less of the manifestation of the
spiritual. There is more of real SER
vice and perhaps less manifestation
Of the emotional that brought only
intermittent or seasonal service and
| delivery of good deeds.
There is growing and still
greater growing Of what is called the
divorce evil, and along with 1t a con-
viction that there are serious defects
in marriage laws and customs as in
dicated by their faults-disappointed
lives and wrecked hopes, broken
| families, increase of disease and in
sanity and growing populations in
the institutions that take care of
orphans, feeble minded and all the
other folsom that comes of the
wreck of human efforts and COM
mendable ambitions that have been
sunk without trace. All that has

WASHINGTON PEACE CONFER.
ENCE THREATENED IN SENATE

The Washington peace enort, the
one bold stroke made on the Ameri-
can plan approaching as nearly as
possible open agreements openly ar
rived at, is now hanging by a thread
in the United States senate. Senator
Borah and his irfeconcilables are
reasoning it out that any agreement
among armed or partly armed ma
tions is an agreement for war and
that it's effect is not for peace, and
they indicate that they will vote
against it's adoption.
We will grant that Senator Borah
can take any subject and analyze 1t
so as to make case against it II the
other side is not presented at all, and
if the irreconcibles defeat the Wash
ington treaty they defeat the first
one that has ever been made that
was effective enough to stop prepara-
lions for war--a thing this one did
almost Immediately after the pro-
posals were made, and its moral eff
feet has already been widespread.
While the world was reading the
very frank, open proposals of Secre-
tary Hughes for the American people
and the whole world was applaudlng,
the Irish question was standing at
it's climax as it had been for months,
and under he influence of the wave
of peace sentiment and peace deter
mination of the period, England and
Ireland reached an agreement on the
Irish question that has been she'd
ding unnecessary blood and dealing
famine and misery for "a thousand
years. If the Irish Republic does not
go into. effect and continue to func-
ton it will plainly be because of the
Irish irreconcilables under the. lead
ership of the Borah of Ireland, who
is determined that everything shall
come up to his ideas and that unless
it shall be made from the start per
feet in his eyes it shall" sink to the
depths. &

area became mixed with the pure
water of the lake.
There was a city of q million peo-
pie drawing their drinking water
from the rake and pouring all the
filth and poison OF the city sewer
right back into the lake. s
thoughtful men had been work
ing on project long time and In
the year 1889 the project was far
enough along so that the legislature
of the State of Illinois passed an
enabling act permitting the city to
dredge the Chicago river and turn
the current the other way, drain
ing it back into the Illinois river
then running the sewerage into the
Mississippi. 1t required O. canal
forty miles long and the reversing OF
the Chicago river for q great dis
lance. The canal had to be cut deep
enough to overcome the slope of the
country to the head of the Illinois
river, or to some point whore they
could pour the waters of the Chicago
river into it. Construction work was
commenced on it in 1892 and it was
finished in the yeart 1900, the total
cost being $45,280,000. Tho canal
was forty niles long, twenty-five feet
deep and varied in width from 10
90 200 feet according to the grade in
the different sections. The capacity
of the canal was $4,000 second feet,
and at one stroke it took the drain
age of the sewer of Chicago away
from Lake Michigan and poured it
out across the state of Illinois into
the Mississippi.
People who thought the cost of
$45, 100000 was too great price to
pay for taking, care Of the drainage
of the sewer of the city we're given a
demonstration in the fact that this
great stream of water was used to
generate electric power at a dam
and locks at Lockport, H., where
| they generated $4,000 horse power
of electricity TO carry into Chicago
over Their cables and used it for
electrically lighting the city, thus
making the sewerage come back to
them in;the form Of light and power.
ItGwerked soawell that half dozen
cities along the lake front north Of
Chicago for a distance ofs"about
twenty miles including Evanston,
made application for permission. to
build afsystem Of these canals to
take their sewerage away from the
lake and pour it into the Chicago
drainage canal. 49, .
| 1t was called the North Drainage
Canal and it was completed in the
| year 1907 at a cost of ,$2,770, 900.
This was SO satisfactory to those
| cities that other places in Illinois
situated along the Illinois river or
near it began to hunt for ways to
drain their sewerage into the same
canal and in 1915 work was com
pleted to connect the city Of Utica
with the Chicago drainage canal at
Joliet at a cost Of $5,000,000. In
the construction of this work they
also built a power dam and gener-
ated 10000 horse power of electri-
city to light their cities and operate
their motors. The whole thing is sc
satisfactory and so profitable that
they are now planning to enlarge
the whole system to carry steam
boats for the accommodation of com.
