POLITICAL MISREPRESENTATION Of late there has been contributed to the press many false statements the political conditions in Norwich and in the Third congres- sional @istrict. The Bulletin hes been surprised by the assertions made con- cerning the indignities heaped upon Mayor Lippitt and the stories spread about the disaffection of the republi- cans of this congressional district. Mayor Lippitt has not been making any complaint; and The Bulletin, which is in a position to know what is going on In “the Rose of New Eng- land,” sees no reason why he should. He is held in such espeem by his par- ty that no one hears a single protest against his succession to the treasury- ship of the state, and his candidacy seems to bé received with a popular favor which assures his entering the convention for the nomimation of state officers with the mecessary backing to secure his acceptance if he desires the honor. It is a fact that the Third congres- sfonal district was never better satis- fled with ¥ts representative in con- gress than now, and its unity and en- fhusiasm for Copgressman Higgins' remomination has not been excelled in #ts political history. Congressman Higgins is very much more of a doer than a talker and his Met of achieve- ments during his three terms is not surpassed by the achievements of any pre@ecessor. He is a representative who not only faithfully serves his con- stituents, but who is “on his job” and carns his salary. When the time comes for the nom- inating convention there will be no - swe with him, for he has proved to be a servant of the whole people, and to have so well cared for the interests of his district that {t entertains no ht of a successor. The fruits of @ service are ample and his reward s sure! THE M'KINLEY BANQUET. It is because of McKinley’s com- panionable qualifies—because of his ocomradeship more than any other high and excellent quality which marked his career—that prompted his ad- mirers in different states of the union to erganize civic socteties in his name and amnually meet upon the anniver- =ary of his birth to fraternize and do honor to his memory. was a president and a cit- izen, who, by his fatthfulness in small things and lovalty to eternal princi- ples, to the homor of ancestry added the honor of great achievements; and it §s not strange that in his name and memo:y there gathered togather last evening at the call of President Nor- ris S Lippitt, two hundred of the leading men of the state and several of th leading orators of the country. 2 prond occasion for Norwich nd occasion for all concerned ort elsewhere printed clearly vas a disappointment to all pres- our sepators and members t obliged to send letters stead of honoring the ba quet thair presence. The motto of our public servants is “Business be- fore pleasure,” and their constituents recognize merit in the fidelity which keeps them at their post when they are needed. Congressman Higgins would@ have been as delighted to have been here as his constituents would have been to have hed him, but besides sickness in his family, he had on Friday an nt meeting of the judiciary o attend, and then there & just mow in committees erests of New London and Nor- river and harbor bill, the = in the public dufld- ing bill, pending soldiers’ claims, and other district matters of importance, extremely Ives by re- were mfssed, have added ability and pleasure to what was really one of the most sig- nificant and enjoyable meetings ever held In Norwich.

If the provincial restrictions on wood pulp and thes reciprocity treaty with France &> not Ppresent too large an obstacle, thé min- imum will be proclaimed on Canadian importations, and tariff friction with thar country obviated. As between France and Germany matters appear to look most serlous Dbetween the last named government and the United States; but it is not ibelieved that there will be a trade rup- ture since the interests of all the na- tions concerned call loudly for peace. ‘The Bulletin coincides with those who believe that it will be to the credit of President Taft’s capacity for diplo- miacy if- he avoids ome, and, at the same time, secures admission for American products on fair term for unless material concessions are ob- tamed in the French and JTerman mn.arkets for our products, the maxi- mum features of the new tariff meas- ure will have proven useless and rmight as +well be erased from the statutes. e SUSINESS COMING THIS WAY. The evidences that the world-enecir- cling naval fleet of this country made a good impression are muitiplying. The latest is the placing with Ameri- can firms by the:government of Ar- gentina. contracts for new battleships amounting to twenty-two million dol- lars. The Fore River Shipbuilding com- pany gets them, with the privilege of having one vessel corstructed by the New York Shipbiulding company, of Camden. In addition the Bethlehem Steel company gets the contract for supplying guns for most of the tor- pedo craft now being constructed for Argentina in Europeen yards. This is worth about $1,000,000. ° Let us hope that the work will be done on honor and that it will- be fol- lowed by a great increase in trade from Argentina and other South Am- erican nations. This capture of $23,- 000,000 worth of ‘business from our competitors early in 1910, is a meost pleasing end essuring clrcumstance. There is no reason why American trade with the South American re- publics should not be increased scores of millions and permanently main- talned. EDITORIAL NOTES. San Francisco can never be charged with trying to keep her earthquakes secret. She informs us of all the Mt- tle ones. It is more than probable that Colonel Bryan sees that a dollar dinner is no longer a symbol of democracy, but a sign of want.. Commander Peary, as a lecturer, has not the fascinating way of Dr. Cook; and his audiences go home in disappointment. The man who gets freedom of speech at home is the man who knows how to compliment his wife better than he does the servant girl When the baseball players at this time of year tell what they are going to do, the atmosphere of the future takes on & perfervid hue. Dr. Wiley is of the opinion that the only person who kmows that an egg is fresh is the onme who takes it out from beneath the hen. A western sclentist sees that where the hair is long the brains are usually short. This should make bald-headed men sit up.and take notice. Happy thought for today: The man who is religious cannot get the politeness shown to him that the man can who has a lot of money. When the postal banks are in full operation there will not 'be a rush by intelligent citizens to get the two per cent. interest instead of four. The New York girls who robbed the banker of $28,000 seem to have noth- ing that looks like such respectable capitalization about their clothes. The consumer gets the wooden but- cents a pound, and no one claims that it will add anything even to a soup. The trust magnate is always sur- prised by the prejudices that have been raised against the trusts, He cannot see why his prosperity should so ex- cite folks. It is mot surprising that John L. Sullivan once had a seat in congress offered him. It happened to be at a time in his career when he could not afford to take it. The hen that lays an egg today does not know but the people may be eat- ing it a century jience. As a cold- storage treasure, ‘Who can teil when it will be served? The cost of high living is the trou- ble, says James J. Hill. The soup- bone with a hundred per cent. profit lded in the past three years repre- sents high living now. NO LONGER HEADS TAX LIST. Mrs. John 8. Kennedy Swears Off As- sessment of $6,000,000. Mrs. John S. Kennedy, widow of the late millionaire philanthropist,no long- er heads the list of personal taxpayers in New York. She has sworn off the entire assessment.of $6.000,000 which the city had recorded husband left $30,000,000. The following statement was issued the other day at the New York tax d partment: “Mrs, Kéhnedy has only r ceived a special bequest of $1,000,00 and this consisted almost entirely o city bonds and stock. obligations to contribute to educationai and other benevolent causes.” Mrs. Russell Sage and Andrew Carnegie were the next highest to Mrs. Ken- nedy on the onal rolls. Their as- sessments were $5,000.000 each, and probably will remain unchanged. An Unkind Critic.

I should hate to be the man who world has no ears for a song that not sweet. There is no vibratory per- for it—it is the one thing which soon becomes a drug upon the market. The tale that begins with “Beg your par- don, sir,” makes must men deaf, for a plea with an apology in front of it is hard to understand. The world lets such men have a deaf ear and a wide berth, and they soon come to have as poor an opinion of the worki as the world has of them. It is pleasant when one is express- ing himself in a sincere and devout way to have someone break out with: You gon’t belleve that stuff, do you?” 'You notice that his estimation of you has gone right down to zero, ker- plunk! “Perhaps you reply calmly: T most assuredly do;” and he remarl “If 1T badn't heard that with my own ears, darned if I would have believed it!"" Perhaps vou have spoken of a belief in hell, or_expressed a serious hope of reaching heaven, or paid a compliment to a neighbor, or just spoken of the merits of your dog. This kind of an interrupting agnostic comes right to time on any issue, and this is about all he ever says. He never tells what he belleves—he ds just as- tonished by what you believe. He doesn’t take stock in any such derned nonsense. He just likes to hear his neighbors talic horse sense. Did you ever give a serious thought to the way men daily toss stuff into themselves?

All_our fears are born of ignorance, same, sclentific fact that the sun is in reali- ty a fixed star. It was a happy day for me when it hwnewml my child- ish comprehension that to arrive at the top of a hill did not necessitate an immediate falling off into space. It was not from anything my father said that I arrived at this understanding. Long before he gave the quieting as- surance that it was safe to follow the | open road, 1 had drawn certain conclu- sions for myself; the most comforting being that what had never happened probably never would happen; that as we had risen safely over the crest of every hill we bad ever climbed, only to find our familiar road rolling on and on, so, by analogy, there was nev- er to be any falling off into space.

Life is a-whiz with them, and a great many of them never have time to send for a doctor. It is not surprising that there are so many sudden deaths! does not make any difference If this successful republic did begin with 13 original states. and some - of its greatest achievements have been con- summated on the 13th of the month, there still lingers a popular fear with reference to this number for bad omen. hotel has room 13; and a Nor- wich manufacturing plant that had a room 13 had to nge the number, although it was a room in which skill- ed mechanics were employed—they would take no risks! A recent dinner party of 14 was disconcerted because one guest was absent, and it was dis- covered that 13+ were to sit at table. One guest declared he would not si at table under such circumstances for $30, and to calm the party one of the waiters had to be made a guest for the occasion, Adults even in this age are afraid of bugaboos just as children often be. An old grouch says that “many a man who denies that marriage is a fallure has not the face to say that it is not a compromise.” He does not seem to know that compromise is in. cluded in the art of progressive gov- ernment. 1 should hardly dare ven- ture assert this if there was not such eminent authority for it. If compro- mise is such a virtue in government as President Taft thinks, it must be a real merit in matrimonial affairs, so Old Grouch cannot make a taunt of it. I do not blame some women for desiring to compromise when they come to a realization of what the; got out of the matrimonial game. I speak advisedly, for if life is a game, and politics 15 a game, matrimony loses no caste in being classed with them. Now and then some one ventures to say that “we cannot all be perfect,” in 2 sort of apologetic tone of voice, which suggests that it 'is excusable for man to have as many flaws as vir- tues. Now. is it? That commentator stops on the wrong period. The phil- os-pher of Folly knew too much fo stop there, for he added, “but we may at least strive to live up to the stand- ard set us by dumb animals!” A policy of dumbness, or silence, at times, is not a bad policy. There is no better sign of wisdom than know- ing when to keep still. Half the world makes trouble for the other half by Mts senseless prattle. Perfection is not what man is striving for, but pelf; and too many expect to buy a reserved site in the Celestial Kingdom instead of having it awarded for real treas- ures. many people do not realize is ‘essential and as the Antipod Wi | selfishness ‘are as When the id a new com- Love thy neigh- viour gave the mandment, he sai bor as thyself, and the Lord thy God | with all thy heart If a man did not love himself he would not know how to love his neighbor, for his love for himself was made the measure of his love for his nelghbor, which must cre- ate a golden rule relationship. This recognition of self-love by the Saviour makes it divine, and it is the very love by which he must become a real broth- er of man and a true son of God. Self- preservation is the first law of nature, and self-lov@ seems to be the first measure for divine conduct, It is the open door to better things. ' How things do wear out in this world. There was a day not so distant when things that were wearying used to be sald to be “as long as a Thanksgiving sermon;” and so soon, the pebple do i not know how long that was, for Thanksgiving discourses now are the shortest ever, in their unity, because hey were once so long in their mani- foldness—“longer,” it was said, “than he moral law.” This is natural, too, for somehow man goes from one ex- treme to another—trom gulping food pathy with the I know they never seek to expresh the depths of what they feel and jfear. Distinctly I re- membper, on rare occasions that on coming from school I did not find my mother at home, how desolate the whaje world seemed to me. T used to wait for her on the front door-step, for nothing would have induced me to stay inside the lonely house, and when T saw her coming I would run to meet her, glad and happy and with my world all right again. But it never occurred to me to tell her how desolate the popular name fits it so well that art- ists have played with it, and their kit~ ten-kin pictures have everywhere Tound popular faver, and poets nave ncw and then ventured to write of “is ‘siiver sheen and fuzzy-fuz” and the willow looks prettier in its opering ‘buds than in its bloom. It is the one native flower that can sit in a snowdrift like a patient being curad of tuberculosis and not be injured by the experience. The swan is saddest when it sings, and this flower is prettiest, be- fore it blooms. = SUNDAY MORNING TALK “He's acquired the skipping habit” remarked a man in my hearing recent- 1y concerning a third person. “Do you mean,” I inquired, “that he goes trip- ping down the street, as children now and then dance out to their play?” “I mean that he has learned to let some things go_ by” When I grasped the situation, T said: “Capital idea; I'll pass it along.’ Now. I am not going on to make a plea for ‘superficiality. We have too uch . of that in American life. Men skim when they ought to dig. But the kind@ of skipping I would like to see mcre generally = indulged in is that which puts one side certain things in the interest of certain others. ‘Watch people read newspapers. Here comes the daily with its rich freight of news, comment and miscellany. I have sat behind persons on rajlway trains who spent a whole hour on a single page and that page dealing with pure- ly ephemeral matters. I should not get through my half a dozen newspapers a day unless T had learned to skip much of the matter, and I will frankly say that the pages I skip are the sport- ing page, the theatrical page and the columns dealing with scandals, elope- ments and similar tragedies. Not that I do not like to read now and_then about 2 good ball game, just as I like occasionally to attend one. Not that I and not a| eschew altogether the theater, bul these matters do not interest me as many others do. But I am a parson and look at things from a parson’s point of view, and I would not for a moment intimate that my practice should be necessarily that of avery- body else. Personally. I am glad that with all the multitude of interesting | subjects pressing for attention today, I can leave one side certain large realms of interest, and thus save time and strength for other realms of thought and action. | But not to set myself up as an ex- ample, I would drive home this point, that everyome should select for him- self certain matters to which he will be relatively indifferent, concerning which he_will not talk and think much. | For this subject touches something | more than our newspaper reading hab- its.” Editors, in selecting matter for théir columns do but cater to the well understood demands of thelr readers and furnish “stories” in quantity and | quality corresponding to the popular taste.

George Rogovoy 1s first ‘cellist of Oscar Hammerstein's Philadelphia op- era house orchestra. He was formerly with Walter Damrosch’s New York symphony orchestra, and previous to that in the Imeprial orchestra in St. Petersburg. The New York Review says: “There is no doubt about the high quality of Mr. Rogovoy's talent, that he will soon be one of the most prominent artists in this country.” Urban Movement of Population. | Massachusetts has a commission which has been undertaking to find out why people move from the country to town how they can duced to retrace their steps, Its conclusion in brief is that they go to town be- cause they like it, and there is little the state can do in the matter. Four of the five members do not think the state should buy land, build houses and then invite the city dwelling to buy on easy terms. But they do think some- thing can be done to increase subur- ban life by borrowing the garden city idea which has achleved the substan- tial results in Germany and which has been adopted with success by several English towns.

Let Us Have the Truthy Mr. Editor: I noticed in today's (Friday’s) issue, this paragraph, “Re- tailers” Not Responsibl and goe: Joyfully on to say that if there is any. thing about “Meat prices” the retailer are surely not responsible (of course not, it is always the other fellow, ev- ery time). We will admit, however, that the Meat trust is in a large meas- ure to blame (but not quite wholly) for the outrageous retail high prices of meat. We are also willing to admit that the retailer is, to a large extent, in the clutches of the Meat trust and has to depend largely on them for thelr supplies, which means, Pay their prices! and e high cost to the re- tailer means a high price to the con- sumer. We have no feeling for the trust and it certainly does not need any. It has demonstrated for years its capacity to look out for itself and 40 gather in most of our dollars, and we have also noticed that while the wetailer {s naturally such, a modest fel low he has at last forgotten it and has been booming prices along without much thought of the consumer and there is no. knowing how long this would have continued if the people had not at last become aroused and @ national boycott of meats started all over the country. Another statement ihe writer made— that it is notorious thatrreailers are forbidden to buy domestic cattle and if they did they would be penulized. Now, Mr. Reader, this statement is false. The facts of the case are that 85 per cent. of the retallers know nothing whatever about dressing cef- tle and would know no more what to de with a live steer than a white el- ephant, In the second place, the ma- gority of the retailers have no neces- sary conveniences for dressing eattle and have learned to depend wholly on the refrigerators; fbut the retaller could buy cattle if he chose just as well as he could potatoes, and no risk of being penalized. Give us the truth in these matters. . “ONE WHO KNOWS." Norwich, Jan. 28, 1910, Forestalled. ‘William A.
