There will never be any'bctler time than right now to start ill and make Norwalk a really big town. The boom has progressed so far that all that is required is a little energy to keep it rolling. on like a snowball. bet the business associations keep up the good work they started awhile ago and in film—only about four years off— well see Norwalk in a better position on the population list than in 1900. when we were accorded eighth place ‘ by the statistics. According to the offi- cial census figures of 1900 there were at that time just 19,932 people in the town. Bill. we have been growing since then and growing fast. Basing an estimate on the usual method from directory entries, we have nearly 30,- 000 souls to our credit. Our new citi- lens are just the kind we want. too. wand we want more of them to keep ' " ‘comlng. Most merchants declare that business was never so good in the town as it is today. The conditions could not be otherwise with the addi- tion of so many people earning good salaries Every movement has some objective point. Why not make ours a population of 50.000. Too, high, you i say. No, most emphatically. if every- body who has the welfare of the town at heart will do his individual part in the rejuvenation that has started so ' suspiciously before long even this fig- ure will seem puny. Just think for a moment of the business facilities we can offer. a PIRHAPS YOU HAVE A BUGGEB- ‘ ‘TION. , if you have an idea that will bene- fit the town. let. it. be lrubwn.‘ Don't hide your suggestion under a bushel. lf expressed it may be the means of start log a work'that will have a great effect on the uplifting Millie town.

We byemlly examined the court ramp" of these cases have been It. and the majority. if not all of . have been convicted, we believe. The point. however. is that all of these persons Were regarded by our local court as violators of law, and wore subjected to fines ranging from 025 to 0400 each. Now In it real console to license these persons for another year when they have such a ,bad record for the present year? That these men are qualified to make application for license at all this year 'is due to the kindly attitude of recent legislatures toward the liquor business and the vigilance of liquor men. A few years ago the law provided that ,any one who violated the liquor law should in addition to the line imposed forfeit his license. This has been amended so that It is now optional with the judge as to whether the li- cense shall be revoked or not. Our town judge. following " the custom which we are informed prevails gen erally, permitted these violators who-e cases be disposed of to retain their licenses and continue in business. The operation of this law practical~ ly means that any liquor dealer may be convicted once each year without the possibility of either losing his li- cence or becoming ineligible for if cense the following year. The com: missioriers, we understand. require a man to have been convicted twice in the same year before such conviction can affect his license. It is a well known fact that the liquor business lends itself to lawless- ness more than any other in oilr town; it is also well known that the penalty most feared by liquor men is the re- vocation of their licenses. Now we contend that the existence of such a law so amended on our statute books. leaving as it does the matter of re voklng the license wholly optional with the judge. and the ruling of the com- missioners that no account is to bl- tnken of offenses committed in prev- ious years, but that two crimes a year are necessary to disturb the license. encourages the violation of the liquor law to an alarming degree. Now consider the commissioners. As you know there are three men who have the oversight of all saloons o‘ li‘airlield county. That means that these three men are to control every saloon from Greenwich to Dunbury. including the large cities of Bridgeport. and Stamford. Is it not absurd to think that with such a system there cuff be any proper regulation of the as con? But it is worse when We re- member thai those three men all in judgment upon the qualification of aa- loon keepers and the number and lo cation of saloons. What do three men, one from Greenwich. another from Danbury, and another from Fairfield. known about the local needs of South Norwalk. it would be amusing if it were not pltiable and humiliating to observe their ignorance even of our streets when they sit in remonstrance cases. Yet these three men must tell us how many saloons we shall have: they are at liberty, if they so dclcr‘ miuc. to compel us to support one as- loon for every 300 people in the town again another year; they can. if they choose. license all of these law break- ers to sell Honor, and thus by giving them a licensc aftcr a conviction. and with so much competition. encourage them to prececd to break the law again. . Now these things ought not to be. Is there any practical remedy at this time? There is. if we believe that there are too many saloons now in town. which we surely mllst if we con. sider the population. the opinions of officers in touch with the business and the fact that the larger the number of saloons the more difllcult it is to en- force the law, then we may each one of as address a communication to the commissioners in Bridgeport, express lug our conviction that the number should be reduced. if then the com- missioners reduce the number as the law allows them to do. they can re- fuse license to theme men and women who have been under sentence of our court. . South Norllnlit Baptist Church. Speaking of the present effort of the pastors of the city to induce the coun- ty commissioners to reduce the num- ber of licenses. Dr. Coats, the state evangelist of the Baptist Convention. said in past: Why do you business men let the posters bear the brunt. of this battle alone? The pastor has ask- ed you to write letters to the County Commissioners protesting against the graning of licenses to those saloon keepers. who have been arrested and fined for violation of the law. That is all right. Write the letters. but why don't you go there and present your protest in person? i mean you laymen. Men known and respected in the city. If ten such men from this church. and ion from the Congregation- al church, and as many from the Moth edict. church and from all the other churches in the city will go In a body to these men and say. "we are getting sick and tired of this thing and it must stop." the commissioners will begin to sit up and listen. Such a protest means influence and votes. ‘If you say to them whether this city coca republican or democratic or socialist. it. must at least stop going to the devil, some- thing will come of it. The preachers can carry not much more than a moral influence backed up by public senti- ment that dares to voice itself in no uncertain tones in regard to this mat- ter. It is not manly; It is not fair: ii is most unwise to send these men to debt this great battle alone. in speaking of the saloon question. ltcv. if. B. Carpenter. pastor of the south Norwalk Baptist Church. said: it is an insult. to our citizenship for us to sit complacently by and tolerate lilo ccudltirms' which create and main- iain for us the present curse of the "worm in our town. The saloon twine-ll carried on within the law is legal because we have made it no. and no matter how strong our moral san- iimelli is fillilnli. it, it is ll licensed trade. But the system of licensing in rwr commonwealth is all-American. flea-aura il usurps the. rights of our 0 .mon canal-age“ and dctaradnes who and how many «loom may be open» ed and maintained In our town. To say that the county commissioners who have no residence in our commun- ity. who have no interests here. shall absolutely control this business. re~ gardless of the best moral, religious and social life of our city and town. is the folly of fools, and destroys the highest democracy of American life. Moreover. the attitude of the local authorities toward the lawlessness of saloon keepers is a very serious mat- tive in the face of constant violations naturally arouse the suspicious of their fellowmen. The. booth or stall in any saloon is a clear violation of the law. This has been brought to the attention of the prosecuting liquor agent, but he remains dumb to the ap— peals of those who have protected. The discretionary power which gives the city judge the right to grant a certifi- cate to the offenders of the excise law to continue in business through their violation clearly unfits them as men capable of carrying on such business. and the fact that no discrimination‘ is made in the characters of offenders, is evidence that the men who are ap- pointed fo conserve the moral charac- ~ter of the community, are not keenly sensitive to their duty. it is obvious that'so long as these violations con- tinue. though the local authorities claim that they are doing their best to suppress them. they are still res- ponsible for these conditions. The commissioners are to grant the li- causes in our town November lst, and inasmuch as some of the offenders have asked for the renewal of their li- cense. it is imperative that the actual conditions should be made known to the commissioners in order that they may intelligently determine those who are suitable persons to carry on ll business that is destructive to the youth and manhood of our town. ‘ Following Mr. Carpenter's address. Rev. C. K. Flanders. the evangelist, spoke a few words, in which he said: You, good people, any “we have no king bllt Jesus." but not in a remote past you surrendered your rights to a system—«a triple~crowned king. repre- sented by your county commissioners. That from which you are suffering is the same all over the state. Whatever the system dcmuuds is granted, and the requests and protsts of those who have the highest. interests of thc com- munity at heart are ignored. in New Haven conspicuous proof could be giv- en of repeated violations of the. scans of moral responsibility in tllc granting of licenses. Again and again the judgment. of the best citiccns and the claims of corporations in the interests of their ,pmploycos and better produc~ tions have been turned down. it is high time for us to dcmnnd a different condition of things. Mr. Flanders lhcn cltcd lnaianccs of the bencflcent workings of the Maine law in that state. whereby there had been a total elimination of the breweries. the wholesale liquor houses. the road- houses in the country towns snd,in large pleasure the animus in the cit- ies. Where the latter exist the busi- ness has to be done “on the sly" ilnder the constant surveillance of the offi- cers of the law. South Norwalk Congregational. Rev Charles S. Macfdrland. D11. in the South Nor-walk Congregational Church. reiterated what he had written in his open letter to the county com- missioners. last week, alld said he was strongly of tile impression that there were a grout many more saloons than was warranted by the population or was the custom of other places' of equal size as this town. In Mel-walk Pulplts. At the churches of all of tile Nor- walk clergyman interested in' the movement to lessen the number of aa- icons in town. mention was made of the matter yesterday. The Rev. George D. Egbert. pastor of the. Nor. walk Congregational Church, invited his congregation. in a strong address. to write letters of protest to the county commissioners. The Rev. Frank I). Torrey, pastor of the Nor- walk Methodist, Church. spoke briefly but decidedly to the point. He brought out the phase of the matter pertaining to the apparent spuihy of the people of the town. PATCHWORK OF SKIN. Family. Nurse: and Curgcon All Con. tribute. Mrs. William A. ltusscll, of Water bury, who was severely burned. three. months ago in New York, is interesting surgeons from nearly all llospiilllll ill New York. She is now ill St. Joseph‘s hospital in Yonkers. and when she is discharged will be a hlilllllfl patchwork of skill. Her body from the waist line to the ankles is being grafted with skin supplied by her son, her husband, three of her nurses and one of her surgeons. lllld the success of tho ope. ration is so great. that surgeons from other hospitals are making a upct‘iul study of her cllsc. ' Mrs. Bcdfcrd was burned when in camp at Millsltc fluke. Redford. N. Y.. near Alexandra. she was sleeping over a small alcohol alone when It cx- plodod. setting fire to nor skirts and burning from the waist to her silos tops. There was no doctor near. and it was several days before Mrs. Rust llel could be moved to st. Joseph's Hospital, where it was decided that skiu~grllfting was the only operation that could save her life. Mrs. Rus- llsl's son supplied the first patch of skin and. according to the New York .psperll. became indignant when the ldoclcr’ll refused to accept any more, ,fcr fear they would have to graft the skin from another person for him. Many persona offered themselves to save Mrs. Russell. and the patchwork has progressed so favorably that the surgeons promise that Mrs. Russell can leave the hospital in a short time.

A fine pro on of entertain- ment has been preps. d and this with the“ concert and free dancing assume a pleasant evening to all who attend. v. Dr. Manor atlthe masses yester- day urged the congregation to do some- thing, each individual. for the success of the fair. The names of the ladies appointed for eachevcnlng to supply the cake booth were ad and the lad- ies will also be until! by postal card. Thus far the supply of cakes has been very good and all have been readily disposed of. A larger demand is ex- pected this week and the managers hope to supply It. In a like manner the candy and delicacy department has run out of supplies. owing to the great demand. A good supply of fresh candy is ready for tonight and a quan- tity of preserved fruits have been promised. The canvass on the var- ious articles is progressing nicely un- der the personal guidance of the rec. tor who is particularly interested in this. department and has for his own canvass a silver set of seven pieces. His headquarters near the cashier's table is a point towards which all nat- urally gravitate and place their names on his book. The entertainment program for to night will be given by Miss Grace Noak. soloist; Miss Julia Patterson, elocutlonist, and the following amateur actors who will present an elaborate farce. Freezing a Mothervlnlaw, .lobn J. Clineo, Peter l". Foley. John Mug- ncr. Mattie Ladrigan and Margaret Rochford. This farce is one of the best that has been prepared for the fair, has pleased a critical director and will no doubt prove a great attraction. The program on Saturday evening wa opened by James Cassidy in a solo, i ” Good-bye. Sweetheart, Good-bye. Mr. Cnssidy's volca is excellent, but a slight cold placed him at a disadvan- lngc. and he was compelled to decline an encore. Miss Marie Hunt showed exceptional ability as an elocutlonist and delighted the audience with a bun»: orcus selection. Hanging a Picture. As an encore Miss Hunt gave a clever impersonation of a pious person pain-l ed at the efforts of one «of his descons to sing a hymn in a key far beyond his range. Entertainments have been prepared for every night of the fair and some striking novelties are prom- ised. Following the custom of past years there will be no fair on Tues" day or Thursday; this gives the work} era a chance to rest and prepare for‘ their labors on the Monday, chncs»l day. Friday and Saturday nights when the fair is in progress. Fireman's Fair Closes Tonight. Tonight will mark the close of the annual fair of the Norwalk l-‘lre De- partment at. the armory.
