Af- ter the business session the members were the guests of Gen./Charles R. Brayton, “Boss Brayton,” at the Crown hotel. Westerly was represented by Judge John W. Sweeney. In view of the election of a United States senator at the next legislative session, Senator Aldrich’s term closing, the committee decided upon the“appointment of two special committees for ‘the congres- ional districts. Judge Sweeney of erly and James V. B. Watson of South Kingston were appointeq the Washington county members of the Second Songressional committee. The police authorities of Washington county are probing the mystery of the death of Andrew Rogers, whose body was found in the pine woods near Wood River Junction, relatives of the deceased believing that death was caused by murder rather than suicide Rogers bad been missing since last April and it is believed that the body had been in the woods since that time until jts discovery two weeks ago. While it is conceded that the imple- ment of death was a razor owned by Rogers, it is thought possible that it was ded by a hand other than that of Rogers, as his watch and valuables were missing and nothing of value was found on his person Andrew Rogers was known to many residents of Westerly, as he was em- ployed in the Campbeil & Henault mill in Main street as boss carder a dozen or more years ago fter midnight Friday and Saturday the store of 2 urcola_at 32 Pi was entered by acco and $50 taken.

Mr. Editor: If congress foMows the recommendations of President Taft as lined out in his message it looks to a layman as though it would put its seal of approval on all of the essentials and that it is up to them by their votes to mak To keep-tab on “the advance data of tariff issues, however, would be as im- possible as to keep the same on the advance data of births. Protection is a sacred principle! It is one of the ten commandments of the republican par- ty, but schedules under it may vary from time to time as conditions change. The schedules of today may be wrong tomorrow, and the question bobs up_ serenely, How can this be regulated? Certainly not in a manner to arouse a spirit of retaliation, but in adopting a_system which prevents all Such trouble, showing & progressive spirit, an honest desire to repair ex- isting defects and give the people what they are entitled to—a tariff revision along the lines that the tariff on any article should never be greater than the difference in cost in the United States and the cost in any foreign country where the same article, or as good a one answering the same pur- pose, is manufactur At any rate, dear Editor, will it no be wisdom for the friends of protection to—in some way—revise the schedule rather than to let the enemy to the principle—re- vise the list? Now, dear Bulletin, will you allow the writer—while the wholé press of the country are taking @ shot at the Smooth Bore Cannon mounted on the house pedestal—to chip in with a word or two In connection with quotations from the Hartford Courant, Dec. Tth, to wit: Angus McSween writes from Wash- ington that Speaker Cannon’s faflure to name the leader of the house— Sereno 8. Payne, of New York—as a member of the committee to wait upon President Taft was another piece of spite work. “Cannon has been angry with Payne” he writes, “ever since they clashed over the tariff bill in the Jast session, and he took this oppor- tunity to humiliate Payne publicly, both for its possible effect upon Payne and as a warning to any other organ— ization men who may dispute his au- thority in the session just opened. From the Woman's National Daily, Dec. Tth: “The nation-wide fight for the right of the whole people is just starting. The time is coming when some of the big guns will be fired, including one Cannon, and the biggest Cannon of all is already so hot that a premature ex- plosion may any time dissipate him in a cloud of smok And from The Bulletin, editorially: “The congressman who thinks that Speaker Cannon will resign to save his party, or to save his face, doesn’t know his' man.” And McQuade, who in writing of the opening of congress says: “As the hand pointed to the hour Speaker Cannon tripped up the aisle. ascended the throne, etc.” all of which brings to the surface a world of recol- lections and unwinds memories of that political tragedy that stirred up public sentiment against the reign of Cannon- ism, the sequel to which was the loss to the country and state of Connecti- cut of that able advocate of the peo- ple's rights—the late Gov.
