It is refreshing to sée 6ther live | towns in the state equalize the taxcs New Britain has enlarged her grand list by about $10,000,000 over wht # was 4 year ago, and consequently she can raise the Same amount of money needed then, or more If neec be, by @ smaller tax rate. She has been using an 18 3-4 mill rate, bat the present tax-list, which has been put up to nearly $37,000,000 will re- quire a raté of five mills less, or 13 3-4. S This is the Gospel The Bulletin was preaching editorially twenty years azo for the same purpese=the reduction of the tax rate, Then the j@cking-up of a grand list a third or a half million at a time, and keeping up the same old fax rate was not conceived of; but the citizens who will permit the kind of tax jugsling Norwich has had de- sérve just what they are getting. Theré is no way to equalize taxss justly, bat to have the tax apply to all alike. On its face tbe tax here applies to all alike, but the property in some sections -of the city has been raised twice in valuation to a raise of once elsewhere, and the list was never mere unéqual than today.

Japan cultivates the military spirit and devotion to the mikado and the greatest aceomplishment is to be brave and enduring as well as an accom- plished goldler, and the greatest honor the privilege of sacrificing omé€'s lifs for the good of the country—for tho mikado. In &l the sehools there is military darfll to make the cff- izens a real bulwark of defense; and of late this country has been follow- ing in the footsteps of Japan by ganizing military companies fiot only in the public schools but some of the Sunday sehools, and by encouraging marksmanship. . This kind of training may be in keeping with the spirit of the age 'n which we live, and The Bulletin is n inclined to protest against it. Skil and effiefenicy are merits wherever found; but there might be considera- ble more attention given in a republ like ours to teaching the principles’ al government and the methods by hich towns and cities are ruled. Good citizenship should be everywhere taught, and it must be conceded that American citizenship ousht to repre- sent the best citizenship on this green earth of ours. It may be well to teach the youth how to fight, but it is bettar to tell them hot to live aright and how to govern affairs in a people’s government. SENATOR BULKELEY IS RIGHT. Senator Bulkeley has expressed him- self well upon the matter of placing the atue of Robert E. Lee as a con- federate general in the Hall of Fame at Washington, and it is apparent that he is In warm sympathy with the pro- test of the Grand Army posts in all parts of the country. He wrofe 10 a committee of Merriam post of Meriden: s question very much the of Connecticut selecting as ene of its prominent c révolutionary fame, one like Bene- afct Arnold, for a position in this Hall of Fame, and I feel certain that the i would neéver for a moment think of doing such a thing: but we ot responsible for what other ight. feel like doing, and un- law I am not certain that at present has much to say i, aithough I know there is a very high sentiment in congress in sccord with the sentiments of Mer- riem post.” This 1s the correct view of the mat- ter. A state shows its charmcter by what it does in hororing citizens; ani when all t ates have contributed to the Hall of Fame, if they do not show judgment than s Virginia, be a Hall of In ny as well estionable if Genéral Lee wouid o an attempt to honor him for playing a role of dishonor against his country. WHAT DISCLOSES MEN. It is action not posing that discloses the character of true men. A ward politician of Kansas City has suddenly proved to be something more. On ths featn of nhis frlend and partner he left $50,000 and he declined to t it, because he believed that the 1r_orphaned children of the man eemed needed it more than he dii. “ommon as a ward politician, M was uncommon in his manliness act was privately done, and bu¢ lor the necessary- publicity the worid wotld never have known that thers xas a man who could decline a for- tune fully In his grasp without @ quiv- ply besause he welioved it was The Kansas City Journal says ng this incident: Rosé is more than a ward n.

Thus, it is no very uncommon thirig when trained firemen are com- bating fire—particularly stabborn fire—to hear voluble criticism from a well known class of bystanders, whose only experience at fire-fighting has consisted in_eriticising men who have made it a busfness. ably safe to say that, in a great ma- jority of cases, these critics know less about fighting fires than they know from personal experience about the m. “Well, there’s that old geezer that brought® you out here this morning” sald the shipping clerk, confidentially. “Fe’s a brother of the old man, that's why he’s general manager. think he’s a big hunk of cheese when it comes to runmin’ this business, but to0 L but you can cheer up with obably bump agaimst Jaggers, 2y buver.

Mr. Editor: The writer has been much intérested the past few weeks in noting the valuable space used by a few elongated editors in their special columns, slyly working along, like a cat through a back alley, In thée at- tempt -to fevive the same “Jay” course practiced in the Brandegee campaign, 1o wit, to create false impressions and | attempt to belittle Senator Bulkeley in the eves of his admirers and per- sonal friends. If these gentlemen, who | aro .evidently intérested In other di- | roctions and trylle to pull the a poople’s evtupsthies out of a pigeon- ole, would only be fair and squage in their pelitical activity, it would® re- dound to their credit and the credit of the party that they are hitched to. Their acute form of gunplay trimmings should be eliminatéd to a back alley and flushed out with tho sewage The writer has studied the political horizon from way back,when the milky | way was a puddle 6f warm milk and | politics “hit everybody fairly and| squarely, when thére was no dodging “shooting stars” no_ attempt to run ahead of schedule, but a trot and pace, 2 clean track, all khowing what was | right and how to keep right. One need to only overhaui the sam- ple files of Augustus Brandegee, ex- Mayor Tinker, George Williams, etec., of New London, Governor Buckingham, the Osgoods, Willlam Converse and | many others of the Rose, who all did | heavy, buf clean, political work, no personal flings, no m-?fl 8pots soiled the garments of the opposition, but all were _gau. at their true value. Friends honestly différent, still main- taining their friendship and personal regard. The changes have been grad- ual, but they have been great. Under the present order of things, the rec- ords of the past by many are forgot- ten, and the environment gives future prophecy and should be heeded—but i3 not. J. W. MILLER.
