The Circulation of The Bulletir. The Bulletin has the largest cir- culation of any paper im Eastern Comnecticut, and from three to four times Iarger than that of any in Norwich, It is delivered to over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses in Nor- cent. of the people. it is delivered to ever 500 houses, in Poteam and Danielson to over 1,100, and in all of these places it is comsidered the local daily. Eastern ecticut has forty- nime towns, one hundred and- sifty- five postoffice districts, and forty- ome rural free delivery routes. The Bulletin Is sold in every town and on all of the R. F. D. routes im Easterm Comnecticut. CIRCULATION cesesrresssenecs 412 1905, average -5.920 CHARITY. Any reform that would take the dis- tribution of charity funds out of the fiands of political ‘servants would be a move for economy and would Goubt- Jess be the means of keeping the out- side poor expenses at the minimum, without adding to the distress of the needy. TUnder our present system for help- ing the outside poor, which is the pre- vailing eystem, there is a double po- litical play which should be stopped— the play of the indigent voters, aided by their friends to force-the authori- ties in consideration of their support at the polls to be liberal; and the temptation presented to men in au- thority to be liberal with the tax funds toward the outside poor, in order to hold thedr votes. Selectmen have re- peatedly been turned out of office for their economy in the interests of the taxpayers. It i1s evident enough that the poor sannot be listed or be made subject to rentral supervision, and the reasons yiven by the religious and benevolent wssociations for refusing to enter into such a scheme were sufficient, because ey are logical and righteous. It is pot the poor who should be listed, but the imposters. No man or woman wh» s caught getting public funds should )scape exposure, and there is no reason why he or she should escape proseci- Hon. It is not the unfortunate who should be subjected to indignities, but he swindlers who should be brought to brook. It is no experiment to put this busi- mess in the hands of an efficient char- ity commission. The dispensing of sharity should be done independent of political influence and be wholly re- moved from the sphere of political re- sentment, which undeserving voters can work up and which in the past has put strong men out of power and weak men into office. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been lost on account of our un- ‘businesslike methods, and it would be a praiseworthy step forward to havza the town charity appropriations handled with the same care as they would be were they private funds. 1801, average AN ANONYMOUS LETTER. No reputable pager.tdkes notice of anonymous letters; but we have de- elded to make use of the following letter sent to The Bulletin, because it deals with a serious matter, and calls for rational comment: “On Monday, February 14, the Ital- fans of Westerly had a funeral pro- cession. When on one of the princi- pal streets In their march to the cem- etery, a man with a team permitted himself to break through the line and came near running over a man. This man who broke through the line was Dr. T. E. Robinson. We could have given this person a lesson, but we held our temper, But if this should hap- pen again, we shall use the unwritten law instead qf sthe written law for those who insult the Italian people.” (Signed) THE ITALIAN COLONY OF WESTERLY. It is not surprising that the Italians are very much incensed by this inci- dent, which they do not understand, and which really is indefensible un- less Dr. Robinson was answering a most urgent call. Doctors, in response to an urgent call, have the right of way, and are excused if they exceed the speed limit, or do some other things which are commonly unpermis- sable. The Bulletin is quite sure that Dr. Robinson would not intentionally offend the Italians of Westerly; and it is not surprised that the Italians feel outraged’under the circumstances, but they should remember that doc- tors answering sick calls are given more license than others; and if a sick Italian had called Dr. Robinson and he had ridden through the ranks of an American funeral, no complaint whatever would have been made con- cerning the matter. The writer of this letter should have made inquiry concerning the cause of breach of:decorum and have sat- ed himself as to the cause of it. A threat of this kind is not creditable to any class of citizens and does more harm than good. We do not stand to- gether as Yankees, Germans, Irish- men, or Italians, but as American ecit- izens who respect the rights of one another equally under the law. A Kansas farmer in the wheat belt has just laid down $7,000 for a fly- ing machine. Why should he want to soar? It is when a man becomes a candi- date for an office that a man’s life looks more like a comic valentine to hh‘nhlfiitmt did betors : As a command from the president to the senate: “Get a move on!” has the country pat, and the peo- are in a mood o hurrah - The senate of the United States by its con- duct appears to be engaged in show- ing that small bodies move slower than great ones. There is no evidence that the United States senate knows how to spell “hustle.” Its late records have given energy to the movement among the states to have senators elected directly by the people instead of by the action of state legislatures. There are too many millionaires in the senate and their open devotion to vested interests is sufficient to dis- gust the people and to annoy President Taft. It appears to be making a rec- ord for itself which will make the} American people eyentually feel that it is too much like the English house of lords to be worthy of continuance. Its record as a check to popular legis- lation has brought it into extreme dis- favor in all parts of the country. Let the slogan of the people be “Get a move on!” and it will help accelerate the passage of needed mefasures. WHAT OF THE PHONOGRAPH? The phonograph is a true educator, although the commonness of it has not tended to improve the interest of the public in it. Edison planned to have the instrument cheap that it might add to the joy of living of as many people as possible, and in unskilful hands combined with the popular taste for vaudeville it has become a dis- cordant nuisance in many neighbor- hoods. As the resuit of this, a New York paper, noticing the growing in- frequency of the public use of the phonograph, ventured to assert that the future of the machine was not very bright, whereupon the manufac- turers promptly announced that the outlook for the phonograph was never more promising, and that the manu- facturing concerns are not able.to meet the public demands for this in- strumen:, and to back it with a sig- nificant incident, they announced that Thomas A. Edison has recently paid $156,000 to acquire a minority stock interest in a single company. ‘There are so many poor performing machines grinding out cheap vaude- ville sketches, it is not surprising that the general public has no correct idea of the real merits of the phono- graph in the rendition -of religious hymns, popular songs, and first-qual- ity music of every sort. The phono- graph is surely going to find its place and become as much of a fixture as the pianoforte °~ A well-operated pho- nograph, with clean’ and wholesome records, is a delight and an educa- tion in any family. DOGS AND SHEEP. ‘We apprehend that if it wasn’t for the stray canines that like to have lamb on their bill of fare, the sheep industry in New England would rap- idly revive. Once harried by a dog, the flock of sheep is practically spoiled. The menace of dogs has worked havoc with the cultivation of sheep. Except for dogs, the economic con- ditions in New England. are ideal for the profitable raising of sheep. Ex- cept for the canine peril a million sheep ought to be under production in Connecticut today. Except for the unrestrained curs, flocks of sheep ought to be found grazing every sum- mer on thousands of New England hillsides, and a great agricultural in- dustry ought to be developed. But until the number of stray dogs is materially reduced the outlook for sheep culture in this part of the country is not encouraging.—Hartford Times. Dogs, as a whole, are not a menace to. sheep. The shepherd dog is fa- mous_ in sheep-raising cointries for his intelligence in guarding the flocks and his bravery in keeping the wolves from raiding them. The hunting dogs are a constant menace to sheep, and where they are permitted to roam about and to go upon hunting expedi- tions .on their own account, sometimes destroying whole flocks. not to feed on them, but to find pleasure in killing them, They are sporting dogs, and their acts can be defended as well as the acts of some sportsmen, and to keep their number down they are most heavily . taxed in many countries. There is no reason why such dogs should be allowed to run at large and at their own sweet will attack the flocks of the farmers. That they are permitted to de so is evidence of the inefficiency of the majority to protect by wholesome laws the interests of the minority. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: The poor are always with you. They are re- spectable in heaven American brakemen will not seek employment in England where the av- erage wage is $7.78 per week. ‘When it comes to domestic quarrels, Senator Tillman is not as successful as a mixer as he is in politics. The Boston Record calls attention to the fact that “Nantucket is now wet land surrounded by water.,” ‘When Want stalks in and takes you by the hand for a heart to heart talk, deserts is an undebatable subject. It is not so discreditable to have 32 dogs wearing a license tag, living upon the town, as it would be if they were leading illegal lives, A western preacher has discovered that Abraham Lincoln was the second great ‘insurgent, playing to Patrick Henry’s first. What next? ‘Washington has a2 man who can eat a whole ham at a sitting, At present prices it is not probable he eats more than a half-ham at a time. . Speaker Cannon is reported as say- ing that “Roosevelt is the champion press agent!” He doesn’t know how to boom a poor thing, though. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., may have appeared rather timid as a colonel on the governor's staff, but as a prospec- tive bridegroom he looks all right. The fact that Russia needs "$500,- 000,000 to build a navy to match Japan’s, does not look like an early encounter between the two nations.

No Danger of “Feminization.” Alexander Francis, a Briton who visited this country last year and look- ed about for the purpose of writing us up, gave casual attention to our schools and in his book just published avers that our boys and men are growing ladylike under the influence of co-ed- ucation and of women teachers. This is not an original opinion with Mr. Francis; it has been heard before and has never made any serious impres- sion on people who really know Amer- ican boys. It may be, and in fact is, true that young Awmericans have an attitude toward women that English- men lack—an attitude of deference and uniform <courtesy and consideration— but this is far from being am indica- tion of femninity, though a careless observer unused to such conditions might interpret it so. Those \ who are familiar with the situation and the facts know, how- ever, that present-day conditions call for just as much masculine energy. activity and force as were needed at any time in our history, and that the men of the generation are equal to all demands, just as their fathers were in the performance of their especial tasks, They are building rajlroads, conduct- ing commercial establishments, are captains of industry, are carrying on aggressive enterprises in all directions —undertakings in eve: case calling for courage. daring, “nerve,” determin- ation: in fact, all the manly qualities in their highest-degree of efficiency.— Indianapolis Star. Cupid and Cost of Living. The relation between the cost of living and the activity in the issuance of marriage’ licenses is recognized as intimate, even though the economics may not be able to express the subtle fact in mathematicsal formula. But there can be no doubt that Cupid keeps an eyve on the market prices of pro- visions, even though he may have little use for the tailor. There can be no doubt that this sprightly - promoter of felicity has abandoned the old fallacy, enticing but illusory, that two persons can live just as cheaply as can one. Perhaps that untruth in domestic mathematics took form at a time when girls were dif- ferent in some materfal respects from the maidens of today. It was once the fad that they shoul be delicate, with- out appetite, taking food after the manner of birds, with anemic résults. They were more fond of cakes and sweetmeats than of prosaic bread, po- tatoes and eold roast beef. In those days there might be more economy in the feminine menu, even aliowing that action, both sensible and widespread. She takes proper pride In Ler appetite and in her muscles, which she has learned are not at all inconsistent with gentle sentiment. She emulates brothers in fondness for the open air and for suitable athedtics.—Washing- ton Post.
