Norwich, Friday, Jan 28, 1910. JUDGE REED'S KINDLY SUGGES- TION. Occasionally a judge of the superfor court is led by the character of the divorce suit being tried to offer sound advice to if possible bring about con- ciliation and restore the family to its integrity, respectability and wuseful- ness. In the case of Main vs. Main —a case of marriage of five months’ duration in which instead of e honey- moon there appears to have been a boisterous matrimonial sea with sever- al monsoons thrown in—he ventured to give the contesting, parties some good advice and to express the hope that they would become reconciled. “In my judgment these parties ought to make up and live together and for- give the past and make some resolu- tien to do so, and if you (turning to the parties in interest) really want to please your friends and do what so- elety would be rejoiced to have you do, you would do it. If you want to please your friends and confound your enemies, the best thing you can do is to make the matter up and live together and let the past be forgiven. I suggest this. It is the only thing Y can do, I suggest it with regard to yourselves and, as I say, the best in- terests of seciety. You have taken each other for better or for worse, and I should be reluctant to believe that it was ebsolutely for the worst. You have tried this experiment for barely five months, a remarkably short time to come to & conclusion that marriage is a failure in this case. It is a serl- ous situatién. I want to recommend this to you young people, if you have regard for yourselves and with refer- ence to the best interest of this state, which has been referred to In the trial of the case. The atate is interested in having you, if possible, live together as man and wife—as husband and wife ought to live together. If you have regard for any Christian princi- ples, I certainly urge you to bring those into play, and if it is a possible thing to do, I urge you to get to- gether and make this thing up and live together as you ought to do, and, as the case has developed, it certainly ought to be a good lesson not to have the offences repeated. “If you ean do this, I suggest that you speak to each other; it is not too iate to talk with each other, and if anything like this may be done, it will give me pleasure to hear, any time before the decision is sent in, that the matter has been settled up, fixed up between you parties. I know counsel will be glad to aid you; I think they would in the interest of good society. I will take the papers and exhibits.” At the conclusion of the judge’s re- marks, Maurice Main left his seat at the end of the lawyer's table and crossed the court room to where his wife was sitting with her sister, moth- er and another friend. He spoke to her and she responded. The young busband then asked his wife if she woyld make up and live with him again, Her cheeks flushed and as she looked up into his face she slowly shook her head and said “I don't know.” There was something pathetic tbout their meeting, following so tlosely Judge Reed's advice. It is to be hoped that such “excellent service as this will not be lost upon these young people. They may by a renewal of their relations learn the art of agreeing to disagree which is one of the most important accom- plishments in domestlic life. HE IS MISTAKEN. Senator Bulkeley has stirred up a hornets’ nest by cottoning to Speaker Cannon end saying that there is no opposition to him in Connecticut. People have not forgotten his shabby treatment of Congressman Hill when certain' committee appointments were being made, or when Congressman Henry was, according to precedent, entitled to a committee chairmanship and didn’t get it. It doesn’t seem as if the people of this state have forgot- ten those things or that they have so quickly forgiven the man who was the cause of them. Unless Senator Bulkeley bhas discovered information which no one else seems to have or thought of, he has misrepresented the state, There is a feeling in Connecti- rut against Speaker Cannon, and a strong feeling, too, Senator Bulkeley's fiimun to the contrary, notwithstand- g.—Exchange. ¥astern Connecticut people have not jorgotten the committea he appointed io do Congressman Lilley in the inter- ssts of the Submarine Boat Co., or aow well that committee filled the »ill; and the people of all New Eng- land are still disgusted with his atti- tude upon the White Mountain forest reservation measure. Connecticut and New England would be against Can- pon for speaker or for congressman, if it had a voice in the matter, by a big majarity. The wife of the pastor of Plymouth shurch, Brooklyn, says the cause of livorce is mainly the woman herself. +Now this funny old world seems to thinfe that the other woman has most to do with it, when John Barleycorn doesn't lay the foundations. The sugar companies have now re- turned to the government three and a haif millions to make their standing right. It takes a good deal to square them up. —_————— Willlam McKinley was a great and good president and above doing a mean thing. It is not strange that many civic societies have organized in his name to do honor to his memory. The law which sets forth that action and reaction are equal in force may account for the reason that some pop- ular measures do not pass through legislative bodies easier and quicker.- The man behind the free lunch counter hears his consumers kicking ®bowt the high orice of living, prob- ably, TIMELY ADVICE. Timely advice by the Waterbury Republican—if you cut meat out of your diet be careful about the rest of your food. Too radical a change of menu sometimes brings about condi- tions which tend to decrease the pow- er of the body to resist disease germs. Don’t go spending what you save on meat for drugs and doctors’ services. ‘This advice should also be borne in mind by those who contemplate a change of diet during the Lenten sea- son, to open in a little more than two weeks from now.—New Britain Herald. This sounds like sense to the beef- eater, and like nonsense to a person who from any cause has found it necessary to abstain from meat. Meat is known to be under some condi- tions a stimulant and an irritant. ‘When to eat meat and when not to eat meat is no fool’s problem. It is a matter of record that a non-meat-eat- ing Egyptian stevedore placed on the deck of an American ship a plece of jron machinery which it took four of the best beef-eating stevedores . at Portland, Me., to take ashore. It is a fact that some of the American In- dian# winter food is pine nuts which have as much, if not more, sustenance than beef. Why fear should always enter into the question of eating meat or letting it alone is no clearer than why prices are so high. Fear is one of the most unhealthy states of mind possible, and it does more harm in one way and another than any other en- emy of the human race. THE ROUND OF CAUSES. ‘There are all sorts of answers to the inquiry why beef and pork are so high. The retailers say it is because of the wholesalers, and the wholesalers say the faunlt is the re- tallers. This doesn’t solve the question, but it is exactly in keeping with the explanation made by the representa- tive of a big Chicago packing firm who sald beef and pork are dear because corn is so dear; and, followed to the Jogical end, corn is so dear because beef and pork are so dear. It doesn’t take long to compass that little cir- cle. It is not very satisfactory after it has been gone over. Other claims are made, one being that the supply has been decreasing while the demand has been Increasing. This would ex- plain something if it were true, but figures setting forth ascertained facts are understood to be now in the hands of the government attorneys, which contraditt conclusively the claim that beet prices have advanced continu- ously because of a continuously grow- ing shortage in supply. It is shown that during the last three months of 1908, when the aver- age price of beef cattle was from $7.60 to $8.00 per 100 pounds, the cattle re- ceipts were much lower than during the three months of last year, when the price was pushed up to $9.5i 100 pounds, The figures do not cate that there has been any falling off in the cattle supply, but rather a eontinuous average of increase. Perhaps the Investigations on as to causes and effects may re something even more satisfactory thaa this, but investigations of recent times do not warrant sanguine expectatiuns that the truth will be plainly revealed. THE CLEAN MAN. The clean man is needed in politics in this country because clean men make clean politics. Where politics are unclean, the uncleanness is of the public servants not of politics. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was right when he spoke in Boston the other day upon the theme, “The Preacher as Prophet,” and sald: “The wpreacher, we are sometimes told, must not dabble in politics. I agree with that. He must not dabble; he must grapple. He must grapple with fundamental problems of politi- cal life, which are moral problems. ‘We are not to e concerned about getting the name of God into the con- stitution of the United States, but we are to be very much concerned about getting the things of God into the con- stitution of the American people. Why should not. the preacher grapple with political and moral problems? We are told politics ruins character. No; it is not politics that ruins charaeter, but it is lack of character that ruins politics. “The question has been asked, “‘Who may touch politics and keep his hands clean? In England, John Bright and ‘William Cobden. In America, a Mas- sachusetts senator—this was fifty years ago—Charles Sumner. In our own state, its governor. He has not only tofiched politics and kept his hands clean, but he has done much to clean politics. If in New York, for example, we should have a municipal election tomorrow, and the men of power and millions should take the po- sition: ‘We don’t touch politics; we keep our hands clean,” we should know they were afraid of honest politics and clean politics, because they couldn’t do their dirty business with politics and politiclans that are clean.” This is goed preaching; and 1t should be persisted in and practical results would surely follow. When clean men are in politics they will be kept clean. EDITORIAL NOTES. The corset may be responsible for rheumatism, - but in our case it was worn by the other party. It is said that a woman arrayed for an aeroplane trip looks like an Eskimo belle ready for a sledging journey.

Justice Baldwin' for Governor. The suggestion has be made across the border, and a very good one it is, that Chief Justice Simeon E. Baldwin, when he retires from the bench of the supreme court, be made governor of Connecticut. The New Haven Journal-Courier comments: The spirit in which the suggestion has been received carries with it the assurance that his nomination would be followed by his election. Nor should there be any fuss about it. No com- mittee need wait upon him to learn his views. Let his party convention meet and draft him for the service. He is no man to dicker with over such a proposition. He needs no platform; he is his own platform. He is just the %kind of man needed at the helm at this juncture in the history of old Connec-— ticut. Move the suggestion along. At 70 years of age Justice Baldwin, with ripe well preserved physically, lectual accomplishments, hand acquaintance with public ques- tions, is fitted to give Connecticut such service as she could not otherwise. command. The opportunity opens to lift the office of governor upon the highest plane. To place him in that position would be to confer distinction upon the state, as well as to command the wisest service. We need not dwell upon the relief from machine politics that would be commanded by such a departure—by no means the least of the comsidera- tions involved. Has It mnever oc- curred in a controlling way to the people of Connecticut that they have permitted too much power to drift into the hands of those who have as- sumed to dictate the politics of that state? Tt is time for the people to demonstrate that they are the real rulers, and no better way of doing this could be conceived of than to make Justice Baldwin governor through an irresistible popular demand.—Spring- fleld Republican, Retailers Not Responsible. If there is any thing artificial about meat prices the retailers, scattered, numbering thousands, and rivaling one another in trade, are surely not responsible. It is notorious that the combination holds them in its grip, and holds tight. Take away their supply and they are up against ruin. Start a rival meat shop across the street and cut their prices for a few months and they are done for. It is notorious that retailers are for- Dbidden to bily domestic cattle. If they do_so, it is at the risk of being penalized. We have published more than once the story told by a leading business man of this city that he of- fered a relative in this state a bunch of two year olds to raise on his al- most empty farm and the farmer de- clined with thanks, saying he could not sell them after they were raised. The marketman who should buy them would be put out of business. It is true that things have changed some- what since that day; you can get something for a cow or a steer now in this state (even if it is tuberculous) by selling to the traveling buyer, but that is very limited progress. The point is that the retailer, hav- ing been for many years helpless and dependent at the hands of the meat combination, is now getting raps for selling meat, ‘and there are combina- tions organizing to deprive him of his business. This may be the way to stop the high prices, but it is the way to sacrifice an honest industry. have grave doubt about the moveme; becoming serious, and further doubts whether it is not “in restraint of trade” and unlawful—Hartford Couront.

Timely, earnest and pertinent was the advice which Judge Reed of the superior court handed out at the con- clusion of a divorce trial in Norwich on Wednesday. case, not devoid of features that called for the appli- cation of fumigation, had been before the court for three days. end was reached Judge Reed nounced that he should reserve his decision and that two or three weeks might elapse before he rendered his finding. But, meanwhile, he expressed the opinion that the man and wife ought to forgive each other, overlook the past, make up and try to live happily together. He went on to emphasize the desirability of a reconciliation and #al ‘You have taken each other for bet- ter or for worse, and I should be re- luctant to believe that it was absolute- 1y for the worst. You have tried this experiment for barely five months a remarkably short time to come to a conclusion that marriage is a failure in this case. It is a serfous situation. I want to recommend this to you young people—if you have any regard for yourselves and with reference to the best interests of this state, which has been referred to in the trial of the case, The state is interested in having you, if possible, live together as man and wife—as husband and wife ought to live together. If you have regard for any Christian prinicples, I certainly urge you to bring those into play, and if it is a possible thing to do, I urge vou to get together and make this thing up and live together as you ought to do.” Very simple, ver— direct and very sympathetic is this u’ppul. and it gets down to fundament e spirit in which the pl is mad admirable and reflects credit on the bench, If the principles which Judge Reed frames in terms of kindliness and of encouragement were generally applied the business of the divorce courts would be mflr reduced, and there’d be more happiness and less friction in the world. We think that Judge Reed has done a public service by holding up the lamp over the pathway of mutual tol- eration in matrimony, and if the gen- tle but urgent advice which he gave is followed the public welfare will be promoted.—Hartford Times.
