: m wich, Friday, July 30, 1908. ——————— "AS A SUBSCRIBER VIEWS IT. . The names of subscribers are com- ing in for the Jubilee baok of the 250th anmiversary as fast as The Bulletin anticipated that they would. This beok is essential to the proper completion of the event, and its publication was assumed by The Bulletin as a matter of civie pride rather than as & specu- lative emterprise. There is no money in it for the printer. Ome citizen has ordere@ 24 copies and one 10, and tieme are the only large individual arders. Aji order from a New York subscrib- or, who Bas no other interest than the interest awakened by a few years of residence here, reads: “Please have my mame put down for one of the celebration books. | want it for two reasons: First, | want to be alle to read the whole thing and study the pictures at my leisure; sec- ond, it is an investment—your two- dellar hook will be in demand at $5 or befter before you and | get through selling things. There are people liv- ing in Nerwich now who won’t order and whose children will be begging for copies at any prics. in 1925.7 This i the truth. If The Bulletin does mot print an edition.larger than 500" copies, the book may be im such demand that it will go to a premium at ance., ' * No agents will be sent out to solicit orders, because that would add to the éost of the edition. Names of subscrib- eré should be sent in to the business manager of The Bulletin. THE LUSTER OF MACDONALD. Ins the good roads world, Connecti- cut’s highway commissioner shines. Theé people who aré hounding him do not care if he has been president of thé Natignal Good Roads convention of the United States, or if he is one of the star speakers at the coming Natjenal Good Roads ceavention to e held at Cleveland, Obie, in Septom- ber, or if'he was invited to contribute a papér to the great International Gaod Roads convention held in Paris last year. Speaking of his being booked to ad- dress the convention at Cleveland in September next, .the Hartford Posi says: 4 “Commissioner Macdonald has been the head of this national organization, himself,- and is recognized by it as one of the foremost among the expert au- thorities in the country on good roads | and the art of good road comstruction, if not aetually the father of the good roads movement on a pational seale. The work he has accomplished in this state reéeived the admiration and approval of leaders in the movement far gnd rnear, and has had the effect of bringing to him flattering offers from other states, to take charge of the geod roads departments of those states” at ‘literally ‘his own price” It may. not be generally known that pre- cisely such an offer—and a standing offer, at that—has come to him from one of the wealthiest and mest enter- prising states in the west, and at what \s Virtually a finamcial sacrifice he de- tiines to thke it into serious considera- tlen ‘whilé his own state shows any Risposition to appreciate the value of his services here, and the Connecticut roads system, which he laid out the beginning, is yet uncomplet- “The subject on which the compis- wonér will speak at the national con- vention, ‘State Aid,’ is one on which he Is as well qualified to speak as if it were ‘kKow to Perpetuate the Pike,’ for state 3id comes to him ‘as naturally s water to a milk wagon,’ as the rec- ord of the last few legislatures will show. Which is the most convincing proof of Connecticut’s absolute con- version to the state aid principle in goad roads comstruction—under the supervision of Commissioner Macdon- Bld"™ THese are deserved words for a man who in thirteen years has carried Con- neeticut to the. front rank as a good roads builder and who is capable of holding: the state there firm and steady. APPLYING THE LASH. The Hartford Courant is applying the lash to the legislature, and it de- serves ‘to be warned and warmed up a little. *1t redlly appears to be wast- ing time and breaking promises. It does pot seem to be looking through 20th-centtry spectacles in its inter- pretation of these times—it seems to be acting as Vanderbilt felt when he, petulantly extlaimed: “The pub- lic be 1" This is the double- leaded address The Courant made to the gemeral assembly on Thursday merning: “Reéjoct the employers’ lability act; kill off the repeal of the $5,000 limit for killing; de mothing about public utilities;’ and then wonder how men, when 3 campaign comes on, can get up and talk 'demagogicaily’ the rights. of the common people and the influence of cerporations on 1 - lation. It is a blind and crazy policy; and, when the whirlwind that is being sowed now breaks on us, those who in the land. L Street, the statistician, has six times as much is said ugeful things by the about crimes. pegple is three years old, and millisas are to be ruled over | tractor will kmow just where he ruler of @hina's four hundred | “Bvery contractor in the a New York paper, “will make ful note of this decision, and s&e."l says i care- ‘the sub-contractors will wateh their | [ interests with the general comtractors more carefully. There has heéen con- siderable uncertainty im regard to our Hen laws. This decision will clear the atmosphere and every sub-cen- stands.”™ This is exactly as it should be. The property owner doesn’f know the sub- contractors and has had no business with them, and it is clear enough that the builder who runs away with the money pai@ him om the job takes his sub-contractors’ money, not the money of the builder solely. This is fair law any way it is looked at. Why should the buildersbe obliged to pay twice? PRSI HLE. o s, SRS DO WE FOSTER DISEASE? This is what the people of this coun- try are charged with by Professor Fisher of Yale, who proceeds to show that through violation of health laws and prevalent fllthiness, 3,000,000 peo- ple in this country are kept conmstantly sick and twice as many millions wast- ed as it takes to operate the national government. He cites the preventible diseases and then says of three of them: “Tuberculosis holds 500,000 persons continuously in its grasp, and makes this condition stand out more hideous- ly by the assertion that it is entirely possible to wipe out the scourge with- in a“single gemerdtion. Again, it is shown that typhoid, another prevent- able malady, costs the counmtry $350,- 160,009 yearly hecause we fail to give attention to simple details. That the diseage can be. wiped out he cites in proof the individual instance of the eity of Lawrence, which, by discarding its former. water supply, reduced the typheid mortality by more than 80 per cent. “Malaria, it is shown, costs the country $100,000,000 annually, and this is wholly preventable, as has been proven by the action of several cifies, which undertook and success- fully eliminated the cause of malaria.” What is needed is activity in the interest of health—the keeping of tfle streets clean and of private prem- ises swget and healthy. If there was money in health - measures for the selfish there would be a hustling for better’ conditions, as there is in every compensatory field known to man. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: The law is now classified as among the most uncertain of things. . Wire products have advanced two dollars a ton, but wire is something we can get on without for a while. The life insurance companies have not got sufficient confidence in air navigation yet to insure the sky pilots. A new woman im a flat has about as scary a time running it as a dew man does in navigating an aeroplane. President Taft does not show any signs of weakening. He need not, for he has all the peeple looking at him from the Amen corner. The man who thinks that he is so good that his wings are pricking through, nmever thinks of the peril of flying toward the lower regions. ‘When the Spanish people show their mettle, it does not seem to be satur- ated with a preserving amount of eommon sense. As “the Little Father” the czar of Russia . does not compare well with any known father except “the father of lies."™ & oot In the prohibition town the boot- legger is a welcome guest. He is often surprised by the respectability of his clients. A supreme court judge says he would resign from the bench, but that his wife will not let him. W does he ask her?, & It is a good hot weather rule not to forget to mail wife's letter. This is a sure way tp keep the temper- ature from rising: Man may net be able to cenquer pain, but he can keep it to the mini- mum by letting green stuff alone at this time of year. Nothing has deen said about the perspiration of congress over the tar- iff. and the advamtage it is to the ‘Washington laundries. The Connecticut legislature could not be more in the air than it is if the Wright brothers should take it aeroplaning for a few hours. The Chicago man who has Hved for 75 years in that city without harm, must have been careful what he drank and about what he said. i e e The government bas ruled that Unm- cle Sam's soldiers must bring their Filipine wives home with them. Trial marriages do not find favor with him. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Weaver took out his after-dinner e gar with an air/ of having closed the subject for all time. “But, listen, dear,” said Mrs. Weav- er, anxiously. “I kmow Mrs. Barber will say dreadful things of me. Yet how she can blame me I cannot see.

If the acgeptance of President Taft of an invitation to attend the inaugu- ration ceremonies at Wesleyan next October is due ta the .imfluence of President Shanklim, who is now in Washington, it is ouly an indication of the enterprise and forethought of the new head of Wesleyan. It is a fact that no president of the United States has ever paid a visit to this city, at least within recent years, and the coming 0f President Taft, provid- ed the present arrangements do not miscarry, will be an event of unusual importance not only to Wesleyan but to the city.—Mi Sun. Bridgeport Opposed. The Bridgeport Beard of Trade is opposed to the corporation tax, it has so voted, and has requested the Con- necticut senators and representatives in congress to oppose it. One objec- tion raised by the board was that if two concerns are engaged in the same line of business, one being incorporated and the other not, the former would be obliged to pay the tax while the other would escape.
