' South Norwalk: A large number of the editors of thc nutrspapers of the state, referring to an incidental and illustrative refer- ence which I made in an address be- fore the General Association of Min- isters, hold up their hands in horror and/are greatly pained and surprised akin intimation on my part that the corporation known as the New York, New Haven andliartford Railroad has exercised an undue and excessive in- fluence in obtaining and preventing legislation. 1 had supposed that this wits a commonplace and entirely nat- ural illustration. If it has not yet come to the ears of the editors. it was received by the large body of minis- ters as a very natural and appropriate illustration: Evidently the Massachu- setts Legislature also places some cre’ dance in this statement. In the course of the same address I also called attention to the fact. with relation to some newspapers, that they had two differing consciencesfthe conscience of the editorial oflice' and the conscience of the business oflice of the paper, and that sometimes the ‘ Asks paper exercises an undue influence up- on the editorial conscience. On looking through the avalanche of editorials which have come to my desk, Mind a certain lack of explicit- ness which prompts me to ask these editors. whether or not they are ready to declare their belief that the cor- poration referred to has not exercised undue and excessive influence in leg- islation.

Nearly all the Stamford and Barton delegation invest to Hartford on the train leaving the stat!“ M It 9 a. in. This is this In Hartford a few minutes before 11, at which time the hearing was set for. Mr. Andrews figured that the train might be late in arriving in Hartford (and, In fact, it was ten minutes late) and he deduced that If no one was present to object to the application when the commissioners called the hearing, then they might grant the application then and there. To provide against such a contin- gency, Mr. Andrews took an early ac- commodation train and was at the capital long before 11. As it turned out such precautions were not neces- sary. “'l‘hat's all right for them to be so also after we got there," said one of the Norolon delegation, “but if we once took our eyes off that rail, road it would steal the whole town. so Bill Andrewa did a public service in going early. Maybe if he hadn't. there'd be a different story to tell." Mr. Andrews put in a good deal oi’ time Sunday keeping an account of the triadic over the bridge, and if the occasion required. he could have pre- sented an array of facts and figures, which the railroad lawyers would have found hard to combat. The tem- per of Newton people was amused as seldom before by this application. If it had been granted an injunction would have been gotten restraining the company from laying the tracks and arrangements had been perfect- ed to guard the bridge at night so that one of those quick jobs which railroad companies have been known to resort to could not be cxoctuod. “Eternal vigilance is the price of lib. orty." has, by unanimous consent, be come the motto of Newton, WW-.._._._...__.-.H___. _. .-._-. .

The first half bottle relieved me and four bottles have cured me of this terrible disease. Before I began taking Foley's Kidney Cure I had to make water about every fifteen minutes min- utes, day and nightfiiand, passed a brick-dust substance, aii'd sometimes a slimy substance. I believe I would have died if I had not taken Foley’s Kidney Cure. Plaisted's Drug Store and The Clifford Pharmacy.
