It is delivered to over: it is doltvered to over 900 houses. in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100, ang in all of these places is considered the local dally. Bastern Connecticut has forty: town and on all of the R. I\ D. routes In Bastern Connecticut. CIRCULATION H i i ; The Bulletin is sold In every GOVERNOR LILLEY’S HEALTH. It s semi-officlally stated that Gov. George L, Lilley is suffering from ner- veus prostration, and considering the strenuousness of his polltica) life for the past year and social activity since he took the gubernatorial chair, it Is not surprising that his system gives notiee that a mile a minute, politically or goclally, is a little too fast. Bince 1t ig easier for & man to im- pafr his health than to repalr it, it is apparent that the governor has a new and dificult task at hand—a task which he must meet and which he must with good sense, good care and diligence perform. ‘Governor Lilley has been accepting ell soclal invitations and banqueting more for the pleasure and gratifica- tion of his friends than for himself, and he hag reached the point where he must be prudent and reserve his energy for the more important busi- ness of his office. ‘Hemoe It 18 necessary for the gov- ernor's constituents to make less de- mand upon him as a star at the soclal functions which they have, or may have, in view, and to co-operats with him that he may recover his health and be able to meet the duties and responsfbilities of his office. THE RIGHT OF APPEAL. The right of appeal in the courts of this country has been so wofu abused and 0 often used to get a jall sentence ‘annulled or a heavy fine reduced, that the protection of the criminal often seems to be more com- plete than the protection of the pub- e, ‘The two cases of reckless automo- bile driving referred to by The Cour- ant, fn which appeals were taken to escape imprisogment rather than to serve the ends 'of justice are a good fllustration, Attention is being called to this defect In our judiclal system " in all parts of the country, and Mas- sachusetts has before its legislature a bl which proposes to give the lower courts ful] jurisdiction in minor cases and denying the right of appeal. On this point, the Boston Transcript says: “The state Is so jealous of the rights of the criminal that it will not allow its 'own judges to impose upon him a fine of a dollar for drunkenness, with- out giving him a right to appeal to a Judge of the superior court for a re- vision of his sentence, even If he has pleaded gullty to the charge. The su- perfor court, as a result, is loaded down with appealed cases. In 1908 fts dock- ets showed 6,237 such cases, begun that year. As a rule the crimes were petty and the pemalties were gmall. More than geventy per cent. of the offenses were against public order. It would seem to be time to revise our judiclal system s0 as to show that the state has some confidence in the judges of its lower courts, They ought to be trusted to Iimpose minor sentences without having thelr work reviewed and revised by any other set of Judges,” This is what all states must come to in order to prevent the conditions which are so favorable to eriminals end unjust to the people. AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL. The funeral of George T. Angell, president of the Massachusetts Hu- mane society, was one of the most re- markable and impressive funerals ever held In New England, if not in the world, Besides the immense concourse of people in attendance there were six- ty horses, the dark-colored hors wearing light-colored and the light- colored horses dark mourning badges, end this man who had the best horse book ever written—"Black Beauty'— printed in half a dozen different la: guages and circulated wherever horses were burdened or abused millions of coples, had a horse he had befriended and loved and that loved him, as first mourner following the hearse and with b9 others he accompanied the funeral to a certaln point, where the horses were led in platoons of 30 to the sides of the road, and the funeral pro- cesslon passed between them as It would have dane between two military lines of honor. This Apostle of Kindliness—this man whose religion Was a protection to every creature dumb or oppressed in this wide world ~~wes the greatest force for good of i, Gly and gencration, and no honor ©ould be conferred upon him equal to the honor he had wrought for himself Dy his conflict for the rights and p: tection of man and beast, To hww m‘ lhl !Arll Bm is, one | unfons, | miilion miles of wire should be where he can hear the taxed consequence of trades- than Great Britain, and" ‘af better times when the step in the interests of industrial peace and economie industry in the history of labor. The arrangement provides for the adjustment of disputes without stop- page of work. It is almed both at strikes ana lockouts. The employers who have entered into it are members of the British shlpbuuam. Employ- ers’ Federation. By the terms of tn agreement, neither side is to ask for a change in the scale of wages at shorter periods than six month Befors a demand for & wage change may be made, there must be a conference on the subject between the employers and the The life of the agreement is three years and it shall be continued $hereafter subject to six months’ no- tice by elther side, The minor detalls give to the men recognition of their right to erganize and to bring complaints concerning working conditions to a peace tri- bunal. The principle of the trade agreement is placed on fair trial. Representatives of both sides are brought Into frequent conferences, thereby assuring a steady growth of understanding and good feeling. The dawn of an era of rational ac- tion on the part of both labor and eap- ital and a desire of each to conserve the interests of the other would be & blessing to all industrial nations, A QREAT BUSINESS. The annual report of the American elephone and 'Telegraph company shows how rapldly these methods of intercommunication have grown, There are over 44,000,000 telephone subscrib- ers and during the past year over & were strung, making the total nearly ten million miles. Following are some of the figures presented by this report: The daily average of calls handled by the Bell companies was 18,963,000, or at the rate of about six billions a year. The plant additions were $15,824,000 for ex- changes, $8,812,600 for toll lines, and $2,000,600 for land and bufldings, mak g a total of $26,637,200. During the past nine years a grand total of-$37 472,300 has been expended in enlarg- 5 the Bell properties. During the year $39,736,700 was ap- plied out of revenue to maintenance and reconstruction purposos. The total earnings showed an in- crease over the previous year of § 009,500, the total expenses an increase $2,101,100. The balance of net earnings was $45,974,000, and, after deducting $11,034,500 for interest and $21,338,100 for dividends, there was left $13,601,400 in undivided profits. The combined balance sheet shows total assets of $680,044,200, with & surplus of $31.759, 600, and depreciation and other resrves of $40,480,300, The earnings of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company also show a decided improvement over last year and every previous year. The net revenue was $18,121,707.26, out of which dividends of § per cent. were paid, amounting to $12,459,156, leaving a surplus of $5,862,551.26. There is shown a considerable in- crease In the number of shareholder there being at the end of the year 26, 370 shareholders, with an average holding of 60 each, By means of the fssue of the balance of the authorized $150,000,000 convertible bonds, the fi- nancing of the company and its asso- ciated companies is completed for 1909 and 1910, including the payment of $21,000,000 notes maturing during those years. The report says: “There has not been sufficient distinction between the ‘Independents’ and the ‘Opposition’ in the minds of the public. We have no quarre] with either. With many of the Independents we are working in com- plete harmony, and for all practical purposes our system is a part of thelrs and thelr system is a part of ours. On the other hand, President Vall says that there is a decided tendenmcy on the part of the public to favor con- solidation. EDITORIAL NOTES. The congressman who defends the schedules of a tariff bill against the Industries of a country has no sbft snap. We are being told now by the weath- er prophets that the first days of April to be much warmer than its last Petrosino sold his life dear, after all, He had had twenty-six years of serv- ice and had brought 800 offenders to book. March 18 behaving just as if the al- manac has the right date for spring to open, We are having real spring days. If the opposition p.pers are to be belleved, there are more mistakes in the Payne tariff bil] than Moses ever made, There are 450,000,000 acres of lum- ber in eastern Siberla, but that will not improve prices or waterways in this country. Parls does a big mall order business with Mexico and delivers goods free on all orders in excess of ten dollars. That's enterprise. The men who are flercest against the | Payne bill gre not only mad with Payne, but also with Taft because he will not stop him, Happy thought for toda Do not flatter yourself that you are a well- balanced person unless you weigh well your word Colonel Roosevet would be glad to be out of reach of the wireless, but when it joses him on this side it will | catch him on the other. Speaker Cannon can point to his rec. ord with pride. He has been elected to preside over the house four times | where greater men haye been turned down, Speaker Cannon s threatening to dock the pay of congressmen who do not attend to husiness. He thinks that they should earn all thelr money, That's right. Colone] Rooseelt declined an escort at Hoboken, He does not care for any more public attentions; what he desires is to enjoy the privileges of a private citizen. The man who Is putting 36 a week aside now for his vacation will not feel gorry if it has to go for coal or fce later on. Ready money is a com- fort almost equal to a rest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Sins of Trappers. NOME GARMENT MAKING. Mtom Service. Mr. Bditor: —In regard to the honesty of trappers, every flock of sheep are apt to have a black one, but the flock of_trappers have few white ones. T get a severe stinging through the mail from a letter wrote to The Bulle- tin by me, from Oliver H. Latham, In which he says I am doing the trippers a great injustice, but when a friend told of losing fourteen (14) traps set on his own land, caught the men right in the act, then I think more could be said and not hurt their reputation with the public. In regard to the wire loop used by the trappers to catch foxes, they say they are humane and that dogs caught in them suffer nothing but the loss of their food. Is that common senso, If it is zero weather or a hard storm comes. The trapper is kept from his traps two or three days. The dog suffers everything but death. I let one loose that had barked for twenty-four hours, He had g2 desperate, but no trapper came to his rescue. 1 hear of a trapper that boasts of catching twenty-seven dogs and three foxes with ninety cents'.-worth of brass wire. He made the remark that some of the dogs hé let go and some he didn’t have to. ‘Trappers must remember that with the short hunting season lovers of the dog and gun are going to take more to fox hunting. As the bunters pay a tax on dogs and for hunters' scenses I think they should have some pro- tection for their dometic antmals. As Mr. Latham speaks of the trap- pers of the far west 1 would refer him to the March number of The Hunter Trader Trapper, after he reads that he will have less trapper’s fever, He asks for a debate on the subject “Hunting and Trapping.” 1 will reply to him jater an. This letter is aimed at t! trappers of Windham county or the state. W. S. TRIPP. Killingly, Conn., R. F. D. 1. SHERIFF REFUSED REQUEST. Was Asked to send Deputies to Guard Workers at Hat Plant. N.
