The decision of the republicans to keep tea on the free list and to make hides free is pleasing to the people of New England. Nearly twenty years ago, when hides were taken from the free list, Jameg G. Blaine wrote Con-‘ gressman McKinley: “Dear Mr. McKinley: Tt Is a great mistake to take hides from the f 1ist, where they have been for so many years. It is a slap In the face of the South Americans, with whom we are trying to enlarge our trade. It will benefit the farmer by adding five to eight per cent, to the price of his chil- dren's shoes, “It will yleld a profit to the butcher | (Beef trust) only, the last man that| needs it. The movement is Injudicious from beginning to end—In every form | and phase. “Please stop it before it sees light. |t Such movements as thls for protec will protect the republican party into speedy retirement” | The republican party endnured the mistake and we have all pald the in- creased price for footwear. When it came to a decision whether hides or lumber should be free, thers 1s no doubt the ruling for free hides rather than free Jumber benefits the larger number of people. It goes with- out saying it that lumber ' will soon | have to be placed on the free list be cause of its scarcity and the sense lessness of protecting our slim forest: at such a tremendous cost to the peo. ple. The republicans propose to have the bill so that it will be as satisfactory 8 a tariff bill can bé to the people. A HARASSED RAILROAD. As the result of the energy flance of Roosevel the United States court at Mont., has ordered the Northern Pa- cific railway company to return land having a value of nearly $3,000,000 to the: public domain. The tract was| taken up under a non-mineral classi- fication, although at the time it was | known to be underlald with valuable deposits of coal. This dishonestv in the procurement of mining land deserves to be exposed, and it is right that the thieves sh be made to return to the government al] that they have robbed it of. This may be harassing a railroad but the people will support the authorities in proceeding against them and com- pelling them to do what is right. The | government has granted these great rallroads more than was ever before granted such big entérprises, granting | them concessions of almost inealcula- ble value, and for them to make false reports concerning the character and | value of the land in order to get It is criminal and should pe go treated. If there are other cases similar to this Northern Pacific case, The Bulle- tin hopes that the government officlals will force them to restore the stoltn goods. | e ) | Six married women were among the uates from the New York jaw school.

The democrats in congress under the leadership of Champ Clark are made the subject of severe criticism in The Commoner by = Colonel Bryam, who spares neither the leader nor his fol- lowers; But Colonel Bryan’s hot talk, which is persaaal, prompts Congress- man Clark to say: “If the aemocratic party had given me three opportuni- ties to become president and I had failed as dismally as Mr. Bryan has, even I I did not have the sense to do 50 yet the obligation of gratitude to my party would compel me to remain silent about matters of which I was grossly ignorant.” This is a plain and pointed statement so whackingly made that it will please the whole country. Colonel Bryan has made no repute for modesty in the years he has’been in the public ey THE PRICE OF ICE. The price of ice Is agitating every community north of Washington and strange to say the highest prices are asked in rural communities where la- bor is cheaper and ice ds plentiful as where. The Baltimore American, oursing upon a probable advance the price of ice there this year, in sa; ‘The records show that, during the past ten years, a shortage of natural ice has not resulted in a_burdensome raise in the retail price. Thus, In New York eity, which is dependent very &ely upon ice cut during the win- months on the upper Hudson, the price per-100 pounds in 1901-02, when the Hudson yleld was 4,606,800 tons, was $0 cents, and In 1906-07, when the crop was only 1,672,188 tons, 'h over one-third that of the y cited year, the retall price to 40 cents:per 100 pounds: , according to the esti- 1,861,192 tons were harvested The quantity of ice mates, on the Hudson, harvested further northward, there is reason for believir, is fully up to the average, ce In summer is just as much a dally necessity as milk and no un- reasonable adjustment of the retail price could be tolerated. It has never yet been found necessary for any large city to go Into the ice-making busi- ness, but the propriety of this form of nunicipal enterprise has frequently been under discussinn.” The oppression of these combina- tions for high prices is keenly felt by the people and it'is preparing them to do something for their own relief. Wherever the icemen are annoyed by municipal competition they have them- selves to thank for it, WHO OWNS THE TREES? In most Connecticut citles it is d that under municipal ruling the trees' fn front of property sometimes belong to the property and sometimes to the city—it usually depends upon whether money is required to protect them, or the rights of the citizen a in question. The trees are the citizen if money is to be spent upon them, but the town's, or public property, if he desires to prune or remove them. just been an issue as to the of shade trees in Hopkin- A man who had bought ing timber in a field about a mile from the village cut down two large chestnut trees on the roadside adjoin- ing his purchgse. The tree warden, after ascertalning the facts, agpeared with witnesses before the grand jury of Mid ex county and an indict- ment against the offender was secur- ed. The defendant a itted the facts, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to v a fine of $25. In imposing sen- tence the judge severely condemned the violation of the law for the pres- ervation of shade trees, and expressed Mass, the opinfon that the fine should be sufficlent to deter others from com- mitting a similar offence. e cause of this confusion with regard to shade trees In front of prop- erty is explained by a Boston paper 2s due to ignorance of the law.

This was such an unusual performance on his part that his daughter, Diana, gasped with aston- ishment.

After an hour or so of silence Mul- derick cleared his throat and said: “I've been gowntown an’ pit in a ap- plication for a job at Johmson & Snow's big shops. "It's a fine place.

[The city authorities have been flag violating the health laws for m: and they will do so just 50 long as the people will endure it and the board of health does not object. | The lgading physicians objected 0 the mixing of ashes and garbage and in- slsted upon a double service. The city \ly became so poor that it returned to the old condensed practice. If the s will tolerate such a dizpesition of rotten refuse the authorities will save money by unhealthy practices. It is a shame to the city and every resi- effort to abolish the state bar- ommission ought to be crowned | 1ccess. The barbers themselves want the commission and the public doesn’t want {t. The only people‘ who desire its continuance are a few | smi-political barbers who hope for ap- | pointment and the complete politicians | who value it for the number of jobs It | pe them to distribute. If the | | ba hops need supervision from’a ary standpoint they should be ced under the control of local health artments. The commission has nev- complished anything except the working of annoyance and hardship upon proprietors and journeymen who have to pay an annual tribute for a worthless license. Although it is too | trifling to arouse resentment or even attract attention, the, state barbers' commission, in creation and mainte- | nance, has ‘heen only a plece of petty political grafting. de Be Fair to Neighbors.

In a Massachusetts house a spec- tacled dad is bringing up his first born by rule, A printed notice on the wall of every- room in the house warns visitors not to offend any of these laws. Here are its terms: Don't kies the baby. Don't handle baby unless your hands are very, very clean. Don't bring baby's face close to your own or to your hair. Don't allow baby to touch your face or_hair. Don't talk, breathe, whistle, blow, cough, or sneeze Into baby's face. We want him to live. Don't use your handkerchief to baby’s hand,s face or mouth. To some these rules will appear com- fcai or stupid, but they are not written as a joke or without thovght. There- fore, any person infringing these rules after having read them will incur our displeasure extremely. The baby 18 a year old now, and al- ready shows an unmistakably Harvard accent, but his spectacled dad is proud- est of the fact that in all the twelve months of his life baby has never once been kissed. Science {s all very well. But we sus- pect that either baby and baby’s moth- er are keeping a secret from dad or one young woman in Massachusetts is about the unhapplest that ever lived.— Rutiand News. Mrs. Roosevelt, We are hearing more of Mrs Roosevelt since she left the White House than before, Dr. Charles M. Harvey writes this of her in Leslie’s Weekly: “The spectacular side of things, in which the president always had a boy's wild delight, had no_ especial charms for Mrs. Roosevelt. Yet every social emergency during her sway in the White House found her ready to meet its demands. In her own way, and in her particular sphere, she was as positive a force as the president himself. The visitor could quickly see that, though she was modest and re- tiring, she was, in a decidedly actual sense, the mistress of the mansion. The storms which played around the president's head were never allowed fo enter the realm In which Mrs. Roosevelt was in the ascendant. In the neutral ground of the receptions at the executive mansion the president's enemies could often be found mingling with his friends and on the same so- cial footing. No jealousies or preju- dices swayed her. ~Though Mr. Ronse- velt had many foes, his wife was ad- mired by every American. More Work for the Undertaker. The Hartford Times, which is close | enough at hand to the halls of legisla - tlon to judge with accuracy of the sit. uation as it affects the proposed utili- ties legislation, says: “There has been plenty of indication of a desire for the proposed supervision (of the public service corporations), but It has not been organized. The opposition Is or- ganized and part of it—the professinn- al lobby—Iis fighting for its life. The hostility in the present senate is mark- ed, and tnere is & good deal of it In the house.” This brief but eloquent summary of the situation is our war-ant for speak ing of the bill as probably Jacking only a formal interment—New Haven Jour. nal-Courie Lighting Mantle Lights. It is not a difficult matter to adjust the incandescent mantles to the gas fixtures, but oftentimes these alds to light are destroyed when the match is applied. Hold the match at jeast an inch above the mantle, and, turning on the gas jet, let the mantle become ignited from that distance. The difficulty is that the match is often applied too quickly and closely, and so the delicate fabric Is injured. New Use for Oranges.

The reports of the work of the nurses were very interesting. Sinoa the found-. ing of the society in 1903, the nurses have treated 4,038 separate cases. For the first three years 1,943 cases were treated. There has been an increase in the number of cases treated in the last three years as is shown by these figures. ’ Dul March the nurses made 517 visit: 'his is a little higher than the average number. There were forty new cases during the past mn.nth. 1 Des Moines Likes Its Plan. The Kansas City Times gets at the meat of the matter in commenting on the Dest Molnes plan when it says “The Des Moines plan of commis- sion government clgses its first year's operations in that city with $20,000 in the treasury. When the old plan of ward government was @abolished the commissioners found @& deficjt of $15,000 in the treasury. The new plan has kept the clty out of debt and has glven the people far better service in every way than under the old sys- tem. In addition to the fine dividend of good government, commission gov- ernment has actually saved the’ tax- payers a large amount of money. Not only has the Des Moines plan given Des Moines a business adminis- tration for the year past, but after trying scenes in the city council it has Insured a business administration for the year to come. Of course it would be pleasanter if the coyncilmen could agree to dis- agree on some things and leave out so much personal controversy. But per- sonal differences on the council really glve the true test of the plan. For if men who cordially dislike each other work together to wise and economical unds, the system certainly Is vindi- cated.—Des Molnes Register and Leader. STATE The Perfect Smugglen Collector Loeb has discovered that Peddl!r! who heretofore have been al- lowed on incoming ships for the pur- pose of selling articles to members of the crew carry off In their packs much emuggled goods and are really one of the most perfect Instruments of smug- gling the government has to contend against.

In the course of his somewhat extended reply Dr. Bacon says: “I am grateful that your correspon dent prints the resolutions adopted at the general conference, as these were drafted tc meet the views expressed by me at the time, and embody my own ideas and phraseology. They are pre- cisely those I also advocated at the hearing in Hartford before the judici- ary committee, beginning my address with the statement, ‘I appear in sup- port of the limitation of the statutory prohibition of all sport and amuse- ment on Sunday, to such as are en- gaged in gain or pecunlary profit’ I continued with an argument against the commerclalization of Sunday, ex- plaining why professional baseball should not be permitted, because in prohfbiting other business ‘we have no right to make that a special exception, The distinction of laws to protect Sun- day from ‘Jaws which seek to enforce its religious observance’ the formier advocated in paragraph 1 of the reso- lution, the latter ‘earnestly’ protested against In paragraph 2, I claim as my own original proposition at Rock- ville, and the sum and substance of my ‘remarks’ before the judiciary committee. If any Congregational minister does not wish to be thus “ep resented, let him sign his rame and tel: the public, or attend the hearing and proclaim his views. The position of Dr. Bacon will be seen to be somewhat different from what the press reports of his address to the committee at Hartford would lead one to suppose, and it is only just that his explanation should be maae as public as was the other statement.— Bridgeport Standard. ‘The microbes in city air are four- don’t know what to do, don't do it.” teen times more than In country air.
