Horwich Balletin and Coufied, 113 YEARS OLD.

Telephone, 210. Norwich, Wednesday, June 23, 1509. ————— PTom— * {The Cireulation ol : iThe Bulletin. The Bulletin has the largest cir culatian of any paper in Eastern Conmegticut, and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of the 4,063 houses in Nor wich, and read by ninety-three per § cent. of the people. In Windham § it 1s delivered to over 900 hous Putnam and Danlelson to ovel 1,100, ang in al' of these places it is cunsidered the locsl dally. Bastern Connecticut has forty: nine towns, one hundred and sixty. % five post office districts and forty- % one rural free delivery routes. The Bulietin is s0ld In “every town.and on all of tha R. F. D.i routes in Eastern Connecticut. H H H H | i i that the school of thought and action in which he has been bred, and which he doesn't kmow how to abandon, is the school which practical politicians view with increasing wonder. You cannot trade with a man of Semator Luther's disposition, using the term ‘trade’ in its business sense. Trading is not in his line. He is an instruc- tor and the willing slave of funda- mental principles. We assume that it is utterly incomprehensible to him how the needs of one town or senatorial district are balanced off by the needs of another town or senatorial district, and a practical agreement reached by which each gets what it wants. It {8 equally incomprehensible, we take it, to his colleagues that he cannot let go of a controlling principle which ought to control all towns and districts alike. If this Is the fact, then it is easy to understand his sense of misfitness in public life, in spite of the fact that a legislature of Luthers would be fine for Connecticut, if they could agree.” A FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE.

Mclntire, chair- man of the general committee on Sabd- ‘bath observance in this state, has been widely read and more or less comment- ed upon. The only criticism to be made upon the letter is that it charges to alfens the faults of our own Chris- tian communities. It is nonsense to claim that the allens are changing the observance of Sunday unless we ac- cord to these differently trained res dents an Influence which greatly ex- ds that of the community. in which they have settled. It is a fact that they do violate the Sunday laws which were established a century before their arrival, in the face of a community which professes to approve of them; and many of the people, amonsg them not a few church members, find the open store and restaurant a conveni- ence, and all of the rest acquiesce, or if they disapprove in words, take no action for the better observance of the day. To charge the allens with pervert- ing the American Sunday approaches years longer, not only will the monop- oly of the tanning industry by the Beet trust be complete, but the boot and shoe Industry will then be a part | of the tarift fostered and tariff nour- ished Beef trust. Independent shoe manufacturers cannot pay 20 per cent. more for leather than will its trust competitors and live. The handicap is too great. Then there will be a monoply In the production of ehoes, and, as soon as the independents are killed, the 25 per cent. duty on shoes will become effective and the prices of shoes in this country will be ad- vanced to 20 or 25 per cent. above for- eign prices and, probably, above ex- port prices.” It is alleged that this protection to hides will take $40,000,000 a vear from the people of the country and that it means a half-million annually from the pockets of the people of this state. Shoes are too dear today and the price should trend downward rather than upward. EDITORIAL NOTES. In a claim of $181,000 against the government the claimants get $40,000 and the lawyers get the rest.

Sunday-iIn this : state has been evoluting from the old to the newer form for the past half-century, and it is changing be- cause the American people want it to. If there was a deep-seated objec- tion on the part of the people these aliens would not break the law be- cause it would be neither pleasant nor profitable for them to do so. If the American people believdd in the law they would see that it was enforced. The allens are not Europeanizing our Sunday only just so far as the cit- izens are willing that they should— just as far as they find it pleasant and profitable. THE TROUT AS A CANNIBAL. The trout is one of the gamiest and flercest fresh-water fish for his inches. He is a convicted cannibal and doesn't mind if he is. The Albany Argus tells a story of the stocking of a lake in the Adirondacks with several thousand small trout. The fry were all placed in the water last spring in one spot near a wharf. A day or two later a large trout was caught from the whart and when opened was found to contain no fewer than one hundred and sev- enty-five of the baby trout. This is a pretty good showing for tho rapacity of the lake trout and it shows what becomes of a large per cent. of the lake trout fry which are put into lakes before they know how to take care of themselves. There is no doubt of the rapacity of the entire trout family, and while they may not all have a taste for young ones, it shows that the stocking of waters to be profitably done must e done with a knowledge of the ene- mies of the fry used as well as the ability of the little fish to recognize and escape from their enemies. An exchange finds that “the policy of planting fingerlings, as is done to a great extent In New Hampshire, has an evident advantage. MILL ' CONSTRUCTION IN NEW ENGLAND. Nearly half a century has elapsed since the close of the war and the commencement of the Industrial com- petition between the north and the south, when it was proclaimed that the cotton industry of the north was doomed, that an industrial war of this kind would prove more injurious to this section than the. civil war. The experimental stage has been passed and the truth is revealed that the climate has more to do with the manufacture of fine cottons than was before imagined, and that the coast atmosphere of New England is more favorable for the production of fine work than any other. In this year of 1909, the new mill construction planned for New England is more than twice that projected for the entire south. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, of Boston, places the new textile mill construction in New Eng- land at $60,000,000 for this year, e timates the new construction through- s out the entire south at $25,000,000. Hvidently capitalists are not worried over New England's ability to con- tinue to hold her own. The orop of diplomas is larger than ever this year; but the crop of true men gverages about the same. The fact that there has been dis- covered a million acres of cagl lands in Alaska is very good news to the | Pacific states. THe productive funds of Brown uni- ity have about doubled in the past ten years, which shows that it is forg- ing to the front. Vermont still sends thirteen-year- old boys to jail for theft. They should be sent to a nursery to be properly taught and trained.

He's no si- lent upsetter of his fellow men. When a man in his calmer moments hears one of his old love-Ibtters read in a divorce court, he must feel like inquiring: “What fool wrote that?” Happy thought for today: The political plum never falls from being over-ripe—it falls when it is ready, and falls usually where it-is expected. The Boston Record thinks that it Boston is going to show great results in 1915, that it should be making as- suring signs in the sandg of time now. Chigggo is now planning for a con- vention hall that will hold 45,000 peo- ple. Norwich and New London might sit down at peace in a hall of that size. A Philadelphian has declined the title of “D.D.” upon the ground that he is unworthy. Few men nowadays are conscious of being such poor, mi erable sinners. North Adams has the distinction of standing on the edge of three states, and three governers are, in conses quence, expected to participate in her 0Old Home week.

An hour later when the conversation had begun to drag, after it had touch- ed upon the comparative delighls of north shore and of western suburbs, the scarcity of sprinkling carts, the ex- cellence of modern transportation and other subjects of interest, the Single- tons headed for hgme. “It's me for the hay” announced Singleton. “I didn’t get to bed until 10 o'tlock last night. That sort of thing won't do.” But when he slipped the key his wife had brought into one of the two keyholes in the front door of his home there was no responsive click fh the lock. The door continued to resist his strenuous twistings and shakings of the knob. He jerked the key savagely from the keyhole and looked at it in the dim light. hat's a good thing!” he announc- ed. “You took the wrong key. This one throws the big bolt, but 1t doesn’t turn the spring catch. We're locked out.” Mrs. Singleton clasped her hands ap- prehensively. “Oh, dear!” she said. “What shall we d0? Maybe there's a window open somewhere. “Fine chance!” said her husband, “after you've had a crack at ‘em. I'm going over and get Chapin.” Chapin, being hurriedly summoned, came over, closely trailed by his bet- ter half, who sniffed mild excitement. A council of war was held on the Sin- gleton lawn and. a scouting expedition discovereq that despite Mre.

From the Chapin yard a ten-foot ladder was procured, and the Single- ton summer kitchen yielded a short stepladder. “These don't help much,” said Sin- gleton, looking anxiously at the second story window above the dining room ba ut 'em together,” suggested Cha- pin. “Set the short ladder on top of the stepladder and hold it steady. It will reach to the roof over the bay window and then it's a cinch.” “Who's going up on a shaky thing like that?’ demanded the rotund Sin- gleton, who felt himself growing heav- “r at the mere thought of such an enterpirs, “I am,” sald Chapin heroically. “You Le'd the ladders together and T'll get in” Neighboring windows began to go up by that time and curious heads were thrust out for an inspection of the dark figurés on the Singleton lawn, but the gmoup at the foot of the ladder offered no explanation. Reck- lessly Chapin clambered up one step- ladder and then began the perilous ascent of the other. “ Hold it tight,” he cautioned Sin- gleton, who was clinging to its base with_desperation. torted Singleton through his clenched teeth. ‘While the two women with clasped hands watched and called out absurd pieces of advice, Chapin steadily as- cended until he scrambled upon the slanting roof of the bay window. Then he thrust a leg through the open win- dow of the bedroom above it. A vell from the intrepid explorer threw into spasms the group below. “Leggo my leg!” yeller Chapin, hoarsely. *Ch, 0h! Some on's got him!” shriek- ed his wite, throwing both arms around- Mrs. Singleton. For one thrilling moment Singleton leaned against the ladders with cold perspiration breaking out on his brow. Then he woke up as he saw Chapin disappearing through the window. “Ah, he's joking!” he growled. A fow secomds later Chapin threw open the front door with a flourish and the suspense was over. “Just the same,” declared Mrs. Sin- gleton to her husband, when the ex- citement had dfed out and the Chapins Pud gone home, “T'll never rest ecasily here again while that bedroom window is open, knowing how easy it was for Fm to get i Easy!” exclaimed her husband.
