The Bulletin has the largest cir- culation of any paper im Eastern Conmecticut, and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses in Nor- wich, and read by minety-three per cent. of the people. In Windbam it is delivered to over 000 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100, and in all of these ,places it is considered the local dafly. Eastern Connecticut has forty- mine towns, one hundred and sixty- five postoffice districts, and forty- ome rural free delivery routes. The Bulletin is seld in every town and on all of the R. ¥. D. routes in Eastern Ce ecticut. CIRCULATION 1901, average TAFT AS A QUIET FORCE. President Taft has called his party leaders and they have responded. The day of sflly wrangling, it is conceded by the democrats, is at an end. It required no distinct nolse like the halting of a swarm of bees seeking new quarters, but just that calm and quiet direction for which the presi- dent is noted. He pointed to the party promises and the party purposes end a disappointed constituency and inquired why these vital measures in which the people are so intensely in- terested were belng delayed and then called attention to what might be the result of partisan blindness and fool- ishness, and even the democrats ad- mit that the postal savings bank bill and other important measures are likely to be passed during the present session. This 1s a session which cannot af- ford to show to the people on the day of adjournment a budget of failures. The people of this country are alive to the abuses from which they are suf- fering as never before and the spirit of resentment that is manifesting it- aelf in all parts of the country szould be correctly interpreted and promp responded to, or the ruling party wi'l screly have to zo THE BALLINGER iNQUIRY. It is to be hoped that the minority will be represented upon the investi- gating committes appointed to look in- to the charges made against Secretary Ballinger, for the simple reason that an open and fair investigation requires their presence and because the people are In no mood to brook any of the partisan performances in which white- wash §s of more use than sharp and open inquiry. If Congressman Rainy | is not satisfactory to the republicans yme other member may be appointed; 1d it the opposition should decline to supply a substitute, it should be made clear what the fault with Rainy is. The only inquiry and report which | will satisfy the whole country is ome | that is made by a committee repre- senting both partles; and it will be a mistake to bar out even the least ac- ceptable democrats under present con- aitions. The people are not only demanding that things shall be done but that they shall be done right. They want no more such disgraceful inquirles as | the submarine boat inqui which screened corruption by misrepresent- ing and lambasting the promoter of the inquiry.

This is plain talk; and it is sensible 1a The e of perfoct ventilation is not generally understood, and wher- ever children or adults assemble pois- onous air is breathed. This Chicago movement ought to lead to improved conditions of temperature wherever children study or people are assem- ®led for work. NO LACK OF CANDIDATES. There is no lack of candidates for the speakership of the lower house of congress, and perhaps one reason why the part aders do not care to see a change is because of the many- sided contest which will be created T It is said Minnesota is 2 vacan: , t two didat Stevens; and_ Pennsy ell and Olmsiead; like. . Sereno E..Payne and Sloat Fassett, & Among other members mentioned as pos are Hill of Connecticut, Weeks, and Gardner of Massa- chusetts, d Diekema of Michigan. Mann of Iilinols and Wright of Iowa are spoken of. Here are thirteen ambitious mem- bers who might lke the honor, but 1t is not likely that one-half of them will be candidates. If this is Speaker Cannon’s last term it is to be hoped at his successor will be more con- siderate of the members and less of- fensive to the people. Where sidewalks are left slippery in Vermont, they recognize that it takes special language to properly charac-/ terize thew 1 THE .CARNEGIE HERO PENSION. The Carnegle hero hunters are com- ing in for sharp criticlsm by the press and the award of medals is being sub- jected to ridicule. - American says: The Baltimore “What a pass things have come to in the bravery line when Carnegie agents go up and ‘down the land snaring for decoration every fel- low who' does a deed of fellow-feeling! Surely if one dives into flve feet of water and rescues a child engaged in no more dangerous pastime than pluck- ing lilies with a crab net, or if he hap- pens to discover some fellow mortal actually upon the brink of eternity and hooks him back to safety, why in the name of conscience should this be held up against him? Why should he be made a Carnegie pensioner to the extent of a Carnegie badge, or why should a raft of special agents g0 nos- ing about his affairs to discover whether or not he can be given a lift out of the quagmire of debt? Have things come to such a pass that no one can stub his toe without some- one else rushing to assist him in the capacity of a Carnegie life-saver?” This is a very good example of the way a meritorious ‘work is regarded by many writers for the press. Here in eastern Connecticut are one or two families who are pensioners upon the Carnegie “hero fund,” because the man of the house lost his life in at- tempting to avert disaster or prevent barm to others, and what could be more humanitarian or commendable than the giving of $25 or $30 a month for life to the widow and $5 a month for each child until each child has become self-supporting? This seems to be a good use of money. After a man has done a valiant deed for another, believing that “vir- tue is its owm reward,” it s not to the discredit of receiver or dopor if a gold medal is given in recognition of bravery, or a mortgage paid off the poor man’s house. The Bulletin regards this work as the very best which Andrew Carne- gie has yet devoted his millions to. EDITORIAL NOTES. January has shown us that it can have a few days like May if it sets itself to work for it. Richard Harding Davis' matrimon- ial affairs are getting extremely sen- sational, if his novels are not. President Taft knows how to stand for the American people, and he has no doudbt of their lovalty to him. The decision in Thaw’s case appears to be that “if he is not crazy he richly deserves to be made crazy. Recent decisions of some of the American judges have led up to the conclusion that even mercy. is some- times sprained. The beef boycott is likely to show a great many consumers how unneces- sary to their well-being their daily meat really is. Wall street will never lose its taste for lamb, whatever the price in the market. ‘It yearns for lambs and gets them every day.

The Way to Win Out. Mr. Editor: T would like to say few words in regard to the commends ble position taken by the people in other cities and towns all over the whole country relative to the unnnec- essary and extreme high prices charg- ed for meats and provisions, which has already arrived at a stage of ab- solute robberv—nothing else Now, a legitimate means to obtain re- s should be used. Government in- vestigations so far have been of no avail against this piracy (it can be called nothing less). The big packers are all united and stand together and juggle prices as they see fit. and the public are at their-mercy. All of us expect to pay tribute, and have to; but we object to being robbed outright, just because we are victims to their a merciless greed. At last the whole country seems to be aroused to this fact. and the method of other cities to abstain from buving meats for a period of 30 to 60 days. meat produets are sold reasonable price, will surely So let's all stand together none, or as little as possi We onght to be willing to do this, and by our ceo-operation help this movement, the same time henefiting ourselyes. 1t does not necessitate any hardship and is sure to it in and every- individual good. ONE INTERESTED. Norwich, Jan. 24, 1909. Old-Fashioned House- or until tk again win out. Views of an keeper. Mr. Editor: I read in this morning's Bulletin that the president of the | Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail- road lays some of the blame on the average American housewife for the high cost of living. Harold Swifty of the firm of Swift & Co., also recom- mends that people who cannot afford porterhouse steak and rib beef, which are fully as nourishing, pound for pound, as the most expen- sive. Now, in order to use the cheap meat, one must have something in the house besides a gas stove to cook with, and must also be able to'spare the time to a nd buy | oast should | learn how to use the cheaper cuts of | The colonel's whiskers were quiver- ing with indignation as he entered the Green Star grocery and addressed the proprietor. z “Sir* said the battle-scarred veter- .an, “I have received from you a _commu- nication in which you state that you want to balance your books at the be- ginning of year, and vouw'll be glad if Tl drop in and settie my ac- count. The insolence of you trades- people is something abombinable. What has my account to do_with the balancing of your books? You have plenty of scales in your store; if you want to balance your books, go ahead and balance them, and you don't need to bother about letting me know what they weigh” “You don't seem to understand, colonel; your account has been stand- ing for ten months——" “Then why didn’t you offer it a chair and let it sit down? The lower classes seem to have no comception of common courtesy. Instead of writing foolish letters to me about balancing your books, like some confounded Jap- anese juggier, you'd better be employ. ed taking correspondence-school les- sons in politeness. If I saw a tired account standing around I'd ask it to take the rocking chair and remove its bonnet and stay awhile.” “I think we have treated you right, colonel; we never before sent you a reminder, although your account has been running for ten months—" “A few minutes ago you said it was standing. and now you sey it was run- ning. Sir, your claims would be re- pudiated by the University of Copen- hagen, or any other impartial tribunal. You will be telling me next, I suppose, that the account has been doing ground and lofty _tumbling for ten months, or that it has been perform- ing on the horrizontal bar, or shooting the chutes. You should furnish that account with a trick pony and lease it cook the food properly, as a cheap piece of meat, in order to be palatable; reeds stewing or baking in a covered roaster or tightly covered kettle of some kind about four or five hours, when it will be found palatable and nourishing. But how about the gas | bill? i Soup made from bones, scraps and trimmings, the French “kettle on the | fire"—think of that in our up-to-date; kitchens; and yet it is a great cheap- ener of living expenses, as_well as a healthful part of cur diet. Beans also are too expensive, cooked with gas. How many housewives in these stern- uous times can get time to make their own bread, a help in keeping down ex- penses surely? As for ‘“trying out” the drippings from corned beef, mutton, boiled ham, roast pork and chicken, the last named delicious enough to use in cake mak- ing, I doubt if one out of ten of those | who grumble over the high price of | lard and butter even know what Ii mean by the term. To try out a sup- ! ply of lard from the leaf is not a trou- blesome process, and the Tesult is a very different and much more valuable | product than that bought in pails of ‘the grocer, at about the same cost. If you do not want the cold storage houses to get their profit for keeping | your eggs for . winter use, why not| keep them yourselves? Any house- keeper who has a cellar under her house | can lay down summer eggs at thel lowest price for the year in any of the | reliable ways, either in a lime, salt and | water mixture, or a solution of liquid glass; and in winter you can use eggs as lavishly as you would at any time of year. The knowledge and practice of ‘such things as these used to be called the art of housekeeping, and was considered the woman’s part of the work. It seems to me that the lack of this Jabor in many homes mow must add materially to the cost of living. If a wife would also make some of her own clothes in addition, it seems to me that the insome of the ordinary hard- working man would come near to ac- complishing old time results. At least, that is the view of An Old-Fashioned Housekeeper. Norwich, Jan. 24, 1910, Stiles Judson’s Warning. Ex-Senator Stiles Judson,” speaking at Danbury Wednesday evening, said, as reported in The News of that city, that it is necessary to elect to the next general assembly men who “will not Dbe responsible to the insidious influ- ences which will be exerted upon them to a notofious degree.” “Even now,” he said later, “the paid agents of the public service corporations are seeking to make up the nominations for the upper house” All this, he intimated. was being done to defeat the public ilities bill which is generally de- d and which he advocates. No doubt there is active work go- ing on for the control of the next leg- islature, but, according to the report, Mr. Judson did not take sufficiently into account the approaching election of a United States senator, That in itself is enough to account for early activity, The two matters are related in that the two candidates for sena- tor are supposed to hold somewhat different views as to the public utili- ties question. At any rate, it has not at present the same direct relation to their future as has the senatorial question itself. The thing_of most general import- ance in Mr. Judson’s speech is his con- fidence as a_politician of experience that the course of legislation a year from now is likely to be controlled so far in advance by interests that are individual, not public. Whether he is wholly right or not, his warning to voters to find out how prospective candidates for the legislature stand pefore they commit themselves to them is sound. It should always be done when questions of consequence are expected to come up for action. Neg- | lect of “this “ordinary precaution has resulted before now in considerable misrepresentation of the real desire of the voters.—Hartford Times, Mr. McLean’s Eloquence. It is®generally admitted that ability to speak, to be an orator if you will, is a valuable asset for the man seek- ing public office, and for that reason the oratorical powers of ex-Governor McLean are gradually bringing him to the front as the leading candidate for Unitei States senator. He has been doing a great deal of speech- making of late and each time he an address his friends appear Tt is said that the fre- which he has of late ap- ore Connecticut audiences revive that magnetic i political future which eight when he retired from the of governor. This is the {opin..m expressed b: Trumbull i the New York Herald Sunday.

This great growth is per- manent and the most convincing proot of the confidence of investors in the future of Greater Waterbury.—Water- bury Republican. Hunting the Walrus in .the Arctic Regions. Harry Whitney, who recently re- turned from an extended hunt trip in the Arctic regions, gives in Outing the following description of the Eski- mo’s methods of catching the walrus: ‘With the harpoon as a weapon, the hunters left the solid ice to spring lightly from one small piece to anoth- er until a pan large enough to hold them was reached, far out in the open lake. The pieces over which the pass- age was made were often so_small that they would have sunk under a man’s welght had he faltered or hesitated up- on them for a moment. It seemed to me that the Eskimos were absolutely reckless In this pass- age over the broken pieces and took no account of the manner in which they should return. Certainly only a fearless n with a clear eye and nerves of iron could accomplish it. A larzc, safe pan once attained well in the midst of the blowing walrus, a stand_was taken near its edge where, with harpoon poised, the hunter wait- ed until a walrus came within striking distance. Then like lightning the weapon was sunk deep into the ani- mal's body, and quick as a flash, a harpoon shaft, provided with a heavy point of iron, was driven firmly into the ice and several turns of the line taken around it and beld taut by the Eskimo. This strong line held the walrus in spite of its struggles to free itself, and not an inch was surrendered to it by the Eskimo. As the walrus gradually tired, the line was tightened little by little, until finally the great anlmal was well alongside the pam, when it was quickly dispatched with a lance. United States to Blame. A lawyer of Pau, France, has sent to the treasury department at Wash- ington a confederate bond for $500 and a confederate note for $100 for re- demption. He accepted these securities in good faith in the settlement of an estate, and was afterward advised that they “were valueless because of the time that had elapsed since their is- sue.” He has written to the treasury expressing his astonismment that the United States government should re- pudiate any of its obligations, and he is entirely right. There can be no question that but for the United States government the bond and the note would have been perfectly good, and as this government is responsible for the conditions which have made the bond and note held by the French law- | yer unmarketable, in"the forum of na- tional honesty it ought to be responsi- ble even at this late day for the acts of its agents.—Charleston News and Courler. The Psychological Moment. The great Oxford dictionary is slow- 1y but surely working its way through the alphabet, and somewhat more rapid progress is hoped for. The seventh volume, recently published, from “prophecy” to “pyxis,” and by |the end of the year, it is expected, “Romanite” will be reached. Among other subjects discussed in the latest | volume is that much-misused phrase, “the psychological moment.” It is popularly taken to mean the critical or the opportune instant. of fact, it was taken blunderingly from the German by a French journalist who mistranslated “das psychologische moment’—that is to say, momentum or impulse. To make the matter worse, the phrase.is often transformed into “psychical moment,” with more or less vagueness of sense.—Springfield Re- publican. Ungallant, But True. In the race for perpetual life Mr. Wu has not yet distanced the divine Sarah.—Omaha Bee. stretches | As a madtter | into the in cutting what is described a: “stoek melon” of twenty million dollars bidden—as in radl " represents the surplus earnings of only seven years. Anyone who was not satisfied with such a profit would surely be “unrea- sonable.” It has been accumulated with the help of a duty of 20 per cent., re- duced in the Payne act to 15 per cent., with a provision for the free admis- sion of agricultural machines from countries recl| in kind. This ‘wos one of few instances in the measures of revision downward. Y“k the net earnings for 1909, on a capital lui')]ck of sixty millions, were fourteen mnillions. Can the officers of this prosperous trust lay their hands upon their llnm1 and say that they really need any tariff whatever to ensure ‘“reasonable” | profits? Have they needed 20 cent. during all these years? To be sure, a duty of 15 per cent. is extreme. 1y moderate compared with what some other interests are get ; and the free list provision has a tru’ely 1ib- eral aspect. As a matter of fact, th superiority of the American machine, is their best protection against com- petition. There is not the slightest danger of extended purchases of foreign makes by the jAmerican farmers; on the contrary, the trust has been beat- ing foreign makers In their own mar- kets. It mow has to contend with an increased duty fn France, but this is cne of those little incidents in a tariff war which cannot be helped. Other protected industries will suffer in a similar way if Germany begins a policy of retaliation. This, however, does not affect the home market. The American farmer has been paying, and will con- tinue to pay, for “melons” of various kinds. The best tariff that ever was leaves the Ultimate Consumer out in the cold; and thers he will stay until he learns his lesson and sets about electing members of congress who will draw up a different kind of tariff. In another aspect the action of the Harvester trust is interesting. It will millions represented new profits, on which the government proposes to levy @ tax. Distributed as stock, of course, these profits vanish, so far as the gov- ernment is concerned. They become a part of the capital, and the profits are represented solely by the ordinary divi- dends. This may not have occurred to the astute gentlemen who presided at hply Aother exagapie. of the. jonk simply another P} Rl"rnp of wlncldfl'g.
