The popularity of Mother's day and the speed with which it has nearly compassed the nation has prompted the Philadelphia Times to suggest that the human heart my be ready to rec- ognize and welcome a broader day hick shall be Christlan in the fullest sense and with little fostering find favor with all nations of the earth. The Times says: “It might be better if, instead of Wmiting the observance to the honor- ing of one member of the family, we should exalt for a day the faith and affection that should be in the heart of each for the other. “Brotherhood day, for Instance, would inelude mothers, father: friends, enemies, mankind of every desaription. We have such a day in Christmas, the day when ‘“good will to men"” is the text. “Stnce that day is limited to Chris- tians and has become largely a time for gorging and for the indiscriminate exchange of gifts, it would seem that there 18 room for a day upon which Jew, gentlle, agnostic and pagan might clasp hands across their dif- ferences in token of a common under- standing and universal affection.” This is worth thinking about—not the abolishment of Mother's day, but the observance of a day when reliflous and recfa] prefudices are forgotten, and we recognize the divine relation and fellowship of men. WHAT 18 THE MATTER WITH PORTO RICO? Just at present Porto Rico is an ob- Ject lesson to those who would place the government of the Philippines in the hands of the Filipinos, The gov- ernment was fast to give the Porto Ricans self-government, and it finds itself embarrassed now because the people wers not ready for it—dld not possess suffieent intelligence. It is revealed that nine-tenths of the peo- ple are illiterate and that they have @ dangerous superfluity of politicians who are inspired by personal motives rather than by the well being of the state. President Taft, in his special message, recommends revision of the Foraker act, so that the government can arbitrarily collect revenues and compel, the support of the adminis- tration, since the house of the Porto Rican legislature has thrice refused to vote appropriations for the sup- port /of the government. The situation is far from agreeable, and it is clear that these brewers of trouble among the people would Jead them contrary to thelr personal interests. The government cannot af- ford to be balked and must act with decision in the premises. A THING THAT WAS BETTER * DONE. The Hains trial has brought forth from the XKansas City Journal the averment that our fathers tried mur- derers more sensibly and-more effec- tively than we do, and The Bulletin is ready to O.K. this statement. Be- tween the unwritten law theorfes, the crazy defences, the alienists called in &nd the able lawyer's hypothetical questions, justice has a weary and heart-sickening time. The lawyer for Hains occupled a whole day reading a hypothetical question to the jury—a question which ran over a full 8-column page of The Bulletin befere the interrogation point was reached, and then it was an- swered by an expert, who quite likely helped to prepare it, with “Yes!” which meant that Hains was insane when he shot Annfs and was not then much better. He will not be any bet- ter uritil he is discharged and then he will be well. This is the travesty up- on justice which in the 20th century i# representing 19th century methods ~—methods which are sickening to all Wonest, law observing citizens and may truly be denounced as “a reproach to intelligence and an outrage upon jus- tice.” Hains was found gullty of man- slaughter In the first degree, and was . mentencad to twenty years’ imprison- ment. As a deliberate murderer, he has no reason to have much respect for the law, although its failure to give Im his just descrts may awaken in him a sense of gratitude.

She just escaped ing an incubator baby, A QUESTION OF SENTENCES. There is not the difference in the sentence of James Boyle and his wife which there seems to be on the face of the court's decrees. James Boyle, with a straight sentence for life, is Bood for 20 years under the averages made by statisticlans of life sentences for a generation or two. Mrs. Boyle gets 25 years and a fine of $5,000, which, as fines are worked. out in this state, means 36 years more if she has not the money to pay it, and it is not probable that she has. The total then of her sentence is equivalent to 61 years, and as she is 23, if the men- tence should be carried out, it would mean her release at the age of § Under these conditions the prospects of both are about even. The erime | they committed is properly classed | among the worst offences human be- | ings can e guilty of, and there is no | particular syjapathy for them; but why should a court of justice deliver its decrges in this confusing style? NOT MORE THAN ONE FLOGGING A MONTH. James N, States of Meriden, a trus- tee of the Meriden Reform School for Boys, says that Judge Mathewson’s opposition to the school is a personal matter and with reference to the flog- ging of the boys he tells a representa- tive of the New Haven Unlon: | “The judge in his statement says the boys are whaled with hickory sticks, Mr. States.” “There never was a case of that kind, to my knowledge. If a boy is punished, it is under the direction of the superintendent, and no other offi- cer is allowed to have him punished. [ don't suppose tiiere is one whipping a month, and when there it is no worse than a boy would get at home, In regard to the judge's statement about close confinement and bread and water, T simply don't believe it. There is no close confinement and no read and water diet. | “We never consider a boy is sent | to the school for punishment. He is sent for reformation solely, and after a fair hearing and schooling he is fit- ted to cops with the world. I guess when this whole matter is boiled down, it will be found to be a per- sona] matter between the judge, Mr. Parker and the superintendent.” The one whipping & month consti- tutes just twelve whippings too many | a vear. The Bulletin does not share in | Judge Mathewson's prejudices, but it thinks that flogging in every public institution upon earth should be made an end of. SPRING CLEANING. Women who enjoy clean homes are [up to their ears in work, while the | husbands who dislike the confusion of { it are skipping their dinners at home and patronizing the restaurants, and with the introduction of a half-dozen vacuum sweepers the homes of Nor- wich are being made cleaner than ever, and it would be a good thing if the cellars and yards were, too. The out-of-doors cleaning habit seems to be catching, and some streets | 100k prim and clean because it is the it of the residents to clean their lots, mow thelr lawns, and sweep their walks and once a Week to rake the | street in front of their premises, When a new family moves to such a street as this they are not long in catching the habit through their ambi tion to keep thelr places looking as well as the rest. The slack, Peter Tumbledown neigh- horhoods have no standard of cleanli- ness and no limit to old tin cans, ref- use and bad odors. They have become #o0 habituated to these unhealthy con- ditions that anything else seems to be vanity—or putting on style with them. Nothing short of the board of health and the presence of a sheriff can move them, but in the interest of genera] healthfulness they should he moved. EDITORIAL NOTES. The thirty-third degree optimist is one that cannot be made unhappy by a dentist or an automobile. Some of the modern alrships need a mile of clear space for getting a good start. It will not always *be so. Mr, Patten started from the Amen corner, it is sald, as a corner worker; but he got a good ways from home at last. Some of the senators are making speeches which show that they have stuft in their systems which better be out, Since in the past Mother's day has meant only the family wash day, the west rejoices in the more significant anniversary. We all know that the tariff had a tainted birth, but it is so convenient that it has won out as a respectable convenience. ‘The New Lendon Telegraph's tagged dollar is a bored dollar, and has ceased to be worth its full face value except as a mission dollar.

A Minnesota professor is charged with saying that a man may be pro- | fane and bibulous and still be a gen- tleman. He doesn't mean at the same time, of course, News comes from Pennsylvania that the sentence of Mrs. Boyle really means cnly fifteen years, as ten years may be given of for good behavior, and such heavy fines upon people unable to pay them are remitted. This does not make the situation any less absurd, or give the court any higher standing be- fore the people. Isn't it emongh to make Justice blush?

The strong, intelligent face with its kindly blue eyes would often come betwen her and her work. She soon found herself looking for him each morning and night on the cars. and when that did no d she finally could not help searching the crowd when she wept out to lunch for him. But the days passed by and she d&id not see him.

The features of the much advertised “raisin day” in California were carrie out with close fidelity to scheduld. There were displays of ralsins in_ the windows of the big grocers, and there were raisin luncheons end dinners in hotels, clubs and private families and restaurants. For the multitude there were raisin sandwiches on the streets by tens of thousands, and even those who served liquid refreshments were not unmindful of the spirit and pur- pose of the day, for Immersed in the Manhattan or the conventional olive or cherry, but a fat raisin.

If his eyes told the truth it was very plain that he admired her, too. As they stood waiting for her car Marjorie drew a nickel from her purse and handed 1t to him. “You can never know how grateful I was,” she sald.
