BONE ADVOCATES
SENDING AERIAL
SQUADRON NORTH
Advances Four Ends to Be
Served by Assigning
Squadron to Territory.


Four main reasons are advanced
by Gov Scott c. Bone in a letter
20 Secretary Fall why the War De
partment should assign an aerial
squadron to Alaska, as recently pro-
posed by Delegate Sutherland. The
Governor is heartily in favor of the
proposition and intends to use every
effort possible to induce its adop-
ton by the army authorities.
In his letter to the Secretary, Gov
crnor Bone suggested three aban-
dOned army posts as bases for the
squadron These are FIT. Egbert at
Eagle on the Upper Yukon, FIT. Glib
bon at the confluence of the Tanana
and Yukon Rivers, and FIT. st. Mich
acl at the mouth of the Yukon. All
Of these have housing facilities for
personnel and buildings which could
be transformed into machine shops,
hangers, etc.
The ends to be served by the as
signment of an aviation squadron to
Alaska are enumerated by Governor
Bone as follows:
l. Secure data bearing on flying
conditions in this northern climate.
2. To have men in the service
acclmated to the northern latitude
and thus better equipped for any
emergency.
3. To do reconnaissance work.
pbotographing for maps, educational
pictures, and to act as especial cour-
iers for the government when needed.
a. To make preliminary surveys
for highways and trails and hydraulic
and mining development.

The action of the bank commissioner
in closing five banking institutions in
Boston last year was of interest to many
more than those directly involved and
10 many far beyond the borders Of the
state of Massachusetts. Ever since
those companies were closed there has
been a great hue and cry raised against
tle bank commissioner under the claim
That his action was uncaled for and
hat they should be permitted to resume
BUSINESS. sucr efforts were for the
pose of trying to cover up the conditions
and to attribute their plight to an over
jealous official who had exceeded his
bounds.
When il comes to making move that
closes a banking institution for the pro-
lection Of the depositors and the general
financial condition Of community it is
n serious matter and from the report
which has been made by Bank Commits
siouer Allen Of Massachusetts it appears
that he was fully conscious Of the situa-
ton and that he was justified not only
IN closing them but in opposing the eff

that they were Controlled by men who
lacked the ability, the training and, in
some cases, the moral character redui-
site to the proper administration of q
bank and that there were 80 glaringly
mismanaged and in such Unsound con-
dition that the most drastic of actions
became necessary to quickly avert sit
uation which was inviting a financial
crisis in the city Of Boston,
The revelations which he made regard

the money that was entrusted to them
and the wild banking that was done not

followed by the bank commissioner but
which must in the future cause stricter
attention 70 be given to prevent a repe-
ttion Of like conditions.

that such methods cannot be carried or

FAMOUS MEN.
EDWARD EVERETT HALE

On June 10, in 1909, there died one
of the most unusual men in American
history and literature. Edward Everett
Hale, at the age of 81. He was for
three quarters of a century one of the
most eminent of our authors, philan
thropists and clergymen.
On the 9Th of June, four days be- !
fore his death, DR.. Hale noted in his
diary: 1.-THE first White Sunday in the
IS years of my pastorate without a
Whitesunday sermon. DR.. Temple for
babe me preaching today. The theory
was that 1 would do too much talking
if l went to church"
During the last years of DR.. Hale's
life he may be said to have been con-
stantly in the harness. He stin preach
ed, he gave lectures and addresses and
still wrote, in spite of his age. During
i his entire life Dr. Hale enjoyed good
health, and during the last five years
of it he spent the winters in Wash
/ ington.
At this period he was engaged con-
stantly in writing for the newspapers
and magazines, especially for the
! Christian Register the outlook"
/ and the "Women's Companion" He Xix
/ ed these opportunities to speak to a
large audience. He knew he had SOME
thing worth saying, and he wanted to
| say it to as many people as possible
For the Outlook he wrote his Mem
cries of a Hundred Years" which was
exactly the kind of writing that he
liked. 1t was a history of the United
( States in the nineteenth century from
a personal standpoint.
At this time also he collected a
standard edition of his writings. Such
oh, r, :
that he had written, even had he wish
ed. He completed his collected edition
in ten volumes when he was seventy
eight years of age.
In December, 1903, when DR.. Hale
was close to 50 years of age, he was
elected chaplain of the Senate. This
was the beginning of his last large
public service. It was a service very
appropriate to his years and his pub
lie position, and one in which he was
able to have part in manner, in the
government.
Forty years before he had offered
a prayer in the Senate, and he then
wrote to Mrs. Hale: "You have a feel
ing that it is not your fault at least
If today they do not let the Holy
Spirit guide them AS chaplain of the
Senate, DIR. Hale felt that he was do
ing SOmetn1ng well Worthwhile. lie nau
long felt that he could no longer be
ione of the active leaders of the world.
In the thousands of pages of diary,
LETTERS speeches and articles which
record the doings of these years, hard
ly one can be found that is not char
acteristic of DIR. Hale. Two years be-
fore. his death he presided in Boston
at the celebration of Old Home Week
which was held in Symphony Hail.
Much of DR.. Hale's best literary
work was given to the world when he
was past fifty years. He wrote his
History of the United States" ant
. his Life of Washington" when he was
fifty five In 1893, at the age of sew
enty-one he wrote his "A New Eng
land Boyhood" In 1903 he wrote hi:
? 1--WE, the People" and three years lat.

TREATY QUALIFICATIONS.

When the United States senate rati-
fies the naval treaty it doesn't simply
mean that the large number of old ships
are to be gotten rid of and the way
opened for the building of just as many
more to replace them, but it means an
entirely new ratio of naval strength.
Ships are to be disposed Of in one way
or another, some of them old and some
of them new, but the real important
feature is that new construction is to be
limited. For a definite period no capt.
tai ships are to be built and thereafter
only under a fixed plan and with the
size of the vessels and their armament
limited. There is to be no more of the
headlong race to Guido the other nation.
OF that expensive contest in bringing
out new and better type of warshlp
than the other nations in the world.
It may be reliance upon a treaty in
stead of upon as big navy as can be
built but that reliance is bolstered up by
the fact that there is an agreed ratio
Hence it isn't a case of trying to Guido
the other fellow but simply to keep
within the reasonable bounds set.
At the same time the naval treaty was
ratified it was Highly proper that there
should be ratified the treaty regarding
the limitation Of submarines and poison
gas. The war clearly showed the wis
dom Of such a course. The frightfulness
Of both was too fully illustrated for any
extensive debate over the restriction o.
these war terrors. It is realized that
before the war the use of poison gas
was forbidden under the rules of war
as fixed by international agreement.
Those rules were violated by Germany
and others were forced to adopt similar
methods Germany Is feeling the effects
Of its fragrant violation and nothing
could be better than the reimbursement
of that law against poison gas at this
time by those nations which would have
obeyed It had the common enemy re-
spected its promise.
That the submarine has its proper use
in the war is to be admitted but the re-
striction of its use against merchantmen
| is only a move for the protection of hui
| manity involved In the war.

Phillips. is now minister to Holland and
he was formerly an assistant secretary of
state so that he knows the diplomatic
service from both angles, and his ex
perlence at the Holland post was pre-
ceded by years of embassy service in
London and Pekin
Likewise for the past IA years Assist
ant Secretary Harrison has rendered
valuable service in various capacities at
the embassies in Bogota, Toxic, Peain,
London and Paris, having been made
counsellor of the French embassy at the
conclusion of the work of the American
peace commission on which he served as
diplomatic secretary, though for some
time attached to the state department.
Thus it appears that in the changes in
the state department there has been no
trucking to the politicians. The secre-
taryships will be filed by men in whom
there will be full confidence while those
who are sent to the European posts are
likewise men of long experience and with
records of commendable service.

How a Cough Remedy
Ratified an Automobile

Mr.. Patrick ]. Kane is o wen known rail-
road man of New London, Connecticut,
and Master Of a lodge which gives sick
benefits to its members. On account OF
the great amount Of illness among the
members, the funds in the Treasury ran
very low, and it became necessary to get
money. 1t was decided to rafle an auto
mobile. Then the members Of the lodge
started out to sell tickets. They talked
every minute that they had from their
duties and were very successful, but it was
great strain upon their voices. The
big wiDd-up was made st the Stafford,
Connecticut, Fair. There several Of the
members talked almost continuously for
three days. At night they were thor
oughly worn out, hoarse, and almost
speechless, with the exception Of Mr.. Kane,
who used his throat Just as much as any Of
the rest, if not more, but kept his voice
clear and himself free from fatigue. When
his co-workers asked how he did it, he put
his hand in his pocket and brought out .
bottle of Cerizane.
''There," he said, "a few drops of that
once in while kept me fit" So the boys
Of the lodge say that Cerizane deserves
much of the credit for the successful raf-
fling Of the automobile.
Mr. Kane has. used this remedy before
and recommended it to many others. He
says that for any form Of coughs and colds,
and any such affection as cold in the head,
hoarscness, sore throat, pain in the chest,
there is nothing 80 good as Ceri5ane.

made for nearly hundred years, by the

to court was their youth. They were
given a good warning as were their par
ents and others around that pond. 1t IS
against the law to use set lines in the
waters Of this pond or any other pond
or lake. Last Saturday I found and de-
stroyed twenty set lines and poles that
had been placed both on the Norwich

CONGRESSIONAL INTERPRETATIONS.

q
It IS a bit difficult to understand the
attitude Of congress at times. There are
days when it Is disposed to give rec
ogniJion 70 the work Of the budget bu-
reau and to realize that the country is
DESTROYS Of getting away from extrava-
gance and practice economy, and al
most in the next breath It plunges head
'ong into the appropriation of funds for
objects which are by no means neces-
sary and some for which there can be
no other explanation except that they
are for purely political purposes.
The country has applauded the con-
scienious work done by the budget bu-
reau and recognized that it's establish
ment was one Of the big accomplish
ments Of the administration. Congress
has been inclined to listen to its recon-
mendauons in certain directions. When
it comes to the army and navy there has
even been shown a disposition to make
even greater slashes than the bureau
did. Some are willing to cut the army
and navy TO the bone regardless of the
effect it might have upon our military es-
tablshment and such defense as it might
be able to make in case Of an emergen-
cy, but when it comes to dealing with
the rivers and harbOrs bill thoughts of
economy are thrown to the winds. 1t is
regarded as an opportunity to make a
direct appeal to the home districts. 1t
is another one Of those measures like the
free seed bill. There are so many who
think that votes are tied up in every
package that they are actually supersti-
tious about voting against it, ever
though it is known to be a waste Of

the rivers and harbor bill makes it easy

Fish and Game Laws.

Mr.. Editor: This means is taken with
your kind permission I trust to inform
sportsmen and the public in general a
few facts concerning the fish and game
laws so that no person will violate GER
tain sections of them unknowingly.
1t is unlawful to fish on brooks until
next Saturday, April 1st, when the trout
season opens and June 30th is the last
day one can fish on brooks this year.
Taking of small trout less than six
inches in length is forbidden and this
law will be enforced. No person shall
take more than twenty brook trout or
brown trout in one day. Trout to be
taken by hook or line attached to rod
held in hand. or the line itself held in
hand. I wish to state that all laws con-
corning trout and the violations of same
that come to my notice will be vigorous
ly prosecuted and enforced to the limit
as will all violations of the other fish
and game laws of Connecticut.
NO 1>arson shall fish on lakes and ponds
until May 1st. and this law means Trad
ing Cove rond. Last Saturday I caught
three fishing on this pond and the only
