These are days when cittes compete for eonvention honors, and the large citles of the country are now bidding for the next session of the Methodist general conference in 1912 in response to the notice of the general confer- ence entertainment committee that they are ready to receive overtures. Des Moines, Ta., is one of the cities ambitious to entertain this representa- tive body of one of the greatest religious denominations of the country, and a formal invitation has been flled with the conference committes and every- thing fs being done to secure it. The Des Moines Capital says: “The far east and the far west have been honored in the locating of the last two general conferences. Dr. E. T. Hagerman, pastor of the First Methodist church of Des Moines, of the opinion that St. Paul, Des Moines and Kansas City will be three cities of the middle west to secura the most serious consideration in connec- tion with the general conference of 1912, “Des Moines is now in position, as nefer before, to make & showing be- fore great organizations with conven- tions to offer, which must challenge respect.

We have BIDDING is several Methodist churches, with en- ergetic pastors and iInfluential lay- men, whom we are positive will be glad’ to come to the aid of this move- ment “Des Moines must have the next general conference of the Methodist ehurch and must begin the aggressive work of securing the same now.” HEARST COMPLETELY HOLED. Mayor Gaynor has Mr., Hearst so completed holed that the only sensible thinghecando is. to go intothe hole and draw it in after him. He declares thet the whole Cohalan matter was a MecClellan transaction and was fully ompleted under his administration. fe says the chief clerk, Mr. Curtin, signed the warrant under McClellan on December 31, 19098, and that he signed no more warrants after that date until January 5 when he was deputized to do business by him; and the warrant was paid on January 1, 1910, four days before a warrant was signed under the Gaynor administra- ou by the chief clerk. Th's is an official statement from the ‘cooks and mo counter statements, arguments or pretences can in any way alter the fact; and it makes as clear 1s day the truth of Mayor Gaynor's harge against Hearst of putting up a job against the mayor for political ffect—a job which certainly marks im as an assassinator of character. HOW THE PEOPLE ARE SQUEEZED At the great convention of farmers held in St. Louis on Wednesday, Sec- etary WHson of the agricultural de- partment took occasion to say that the people of this day buy too much in paper bags and forget the sacks and barrels, and he called attention to the fact that rice that sells for two cents a pound at wholesale in Louisiana sells at the north for eight cents a pound in a paper bag. Mr. B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the ‘Frisco system, St. Louis and San Francisco rallroad board, declared the heavy reductions in freight rates of the past few years had been absorbed by the dealers and not shared in by farmers or consumers. “The Florida farmer,” said Mr, Yoak- um, “receives $2.25 for a bushel of green beans, the railroad gets fifty cents for the 800-mile haul to New Vork, and the consumer pays $6.40 for this same bushel of beans. There is thirty-five per cent. for the grower, cight per cent. for the earrier and fifty- even per cent. for the dealer, This is not a fair division. “Thirty cents a dozen was the aver- price of egss in New York last sar, while the farmers of Arkansas id Missouri recefved 15 cents. The freight was 2 cents a dozen. The men who receive the eggs at a freight sta- tion In New York and deliver them to the consumer take 13 cemts a dozen profit. The rice farmer of Texas, Lounisiana and Arkansas gets 2 1-2 cents a pound for the grain and the consumer in New York pays 10 cents a pound for this rice. The freight is 1-2-cent a pound.” According to these speakers, one of the white man’s burdens Is the middle- man, of whom there are many millions u the country, and the costs of hand- ling and profits make the cheapest preducts of the farm altogether too dear when deMvered at the homes of the country. The man who rocks the boat has caused twe fatalities in Maine already. tion price, 12¢ a weeks 50c a | Bulkeley “take mnotice,” and it appears ‘that the former was, in the main, cor- | rectly quoted. Just how the impres- ‘sion’ got abroad that there was an ‘understanding that Senator Bulkeley should this year give former Governor McLean a clear field for the senator- ship, so far as he (Bulkeley) was con- ecerned, is hard to explain, but certain it is, there was such an impression at the time. It may, of course, have been set on foot by some of McLean’s too- ardent admirers. Senator Bulkeley has not been accused of breaking faith, ‘but the situation is a peculiar one, and Senator Bulkeley probably knows as well as anyone what a popular move he would be making if he were to withdraw in favor of MecLean. It seems, however, that rather ‘than step aside gracefully, he prefers to run the risk of being thrust aside.—Ansonia Sentinel, The Sentinel would have done well to have abided awhile before comment- ing upon an interview which is now said to have been a misrepresentation, since Congressman Tilson declares that he has never made a statement which could fairly be construed to mean what this Washington corre- spondent claimed; and Senator Bulke- ley has in a public denial said to the people of Connecticut over his own sig- nature: “I have never at any time had any understanding with ex-Governor Mc- Lean or any friend of his that I would not be a candidate to succeed myself in the senate as consideration for his support in 1905 or for any other rea- son.” This kind of campaigning is not of the successful brand; and the candi- date who is unfortunate enough to have it done in his behalf is not likely to gather sufficient force to thrust the present incumbent from the senator- ship. PUBLIC INDIFFERENCE. It Is the feeling that everything is all right in any community that gives designing men an opportunity to beat the people. The voters of Bristol in this state do not value as they ought the sentiment: “Etermal vigilance is the price of liberty.” B At the recent town election in Bris- tol there was but one ticket up, and that was the citizens' ticket. Out of 1,900 registered voters 140 appeared at the polls and cast their ballots. Of course, everything went all right on this occasion; but the habit of neg- lecting duty upon such a pretext is a bad habit. Every citizen should not only feel that it is his duty to vote, but ought to have a feeling of pride that his expressed will was in support of good government; and this must have been a good government agree- ment—a recognition by both parties that the men named would most lo: ally and w 1y conduct the affairs of the town. nder these conditions 75 wily voters, just for a joke, could have overturned the wishes of the people and made a very. disagreeable mess of the election. A good citizen should never get so content and indolent that he doesn’t think that it is necessary to stand up and be counted. EDITORIAL NOTES.

There might be other cats, but there was not another Tom of Engine 7. To ‘his friends, he was the greatest won- der in cat flesh yet developed, and now he was gone, perhaps dead, or, worse luck, stolen by some urchin and transferred to a locality where cats. ‘were too numerous to be popular. They were even denied the comfort of know- ing his fate. ' Things were thus, when a kind- hearted reporter chanced upon the secne, and_ straightway - started in to help, as reporters will, by giving the story of luckless Tom to the readers of his evening -paper, addi a few suggestions on his own account. Chief Riggs, owner and best friend of Tom, provided one could point a best among such staunch supporters, was obligzed to leave town, early, on the morning after this story appeared, and was not expected to look into the engine house until late in the evening. As the clock told the hour of 8 that morning, Lieutnant Beman was call- ed to attend wupon a lad about 10 years, who had. entered the house bearing a green cloth bag in which something seemed to rebel at such quarters. The officer accepted the token and ghanking the donor warmly, released a lively and most indignant cat from its unpleasant prison. “Here, Jack,” he called to a firemen, as the boy disappeared, “think this freak will ever console us for the loss of Tom?” Jack’s answer was .nterupted by the eéntrance of a sweet little girl, babyish hands held a ten. ‘““Mamma was going to have it killed,” she pleaded, “so I bringed it to you, ’'cause papa sajd you lost vours.” The lieutenant looked helplessly at Jack, but there was no denying the appeal in the baby eyes. “All right, sweetheart, I'l take care of it,” said Jack as he took the little animal, at the same time- catching a glimpse of another just on the point of entering, in the arms of an elderly woman. “Great Moses!” exclaimed Beman, as he, too, realized the errand of the new-comer. “Leave them to me,” said Jack, with a twinkle in his eye, the first one of import since Tom’s departure, and only too glad to leave it to anyone, the officer made good his escape. Before thco evening shadows settled on the house Engine 7, Jack had ac- cepted and posed of 26 cats, of all sizes and colors In the rear of the lower floor was a large closet, built across one corner and furnished with an electric light. This little room was used only by the chief, but in his absence was seldom locked. Into this compartment Jack conducted, or properly speaking, rath- er forcibly persuaded, each feline of- fering. At first the lieutenant expostulated, but when the full import of the joke was explained, he acquiesced with a grin and awaited developments. Now and then sounds of discontent, or warlike intonations, found their way through the thick door, causing the horses to point their ears or whin- ny softly, as they often did at Tom’s approach, but considering the number of Iinmates, things were tranquil enough when Chief Riggs returned, much earlier than expected. Jack was unusually affectiongte to the big bay, with his back to the room, when the chief started for the door of his closet, while Beman, though in a D on to see all that transpired, was invisible to the other inmates of the house. Jarvis Declines Honor. Charles M. Jarvis of Berlin says of proposed gubernatorial candi dacy for himself, “I'll have none of it.” That settles it, so far as he is con- cerned. Colonel Jarvis, by the way, is a great believer in Connecticut as a farming country, and he would have Connecti- cut manufacturers interest themselves in it with a view to ‘providing more economically for the livelihoods of their operatives. He is quoted as hav- ing said to the New Britain Herald yesterday: “Did you ever stop to con- sider that practically all the raw ma- terial that our manufacturers use comes to us from outside the state and something like 75 per cent. of our food products come from outside the state? That is wrong. We ought to raise prac- tically all we consume. There is no better farming land in the world, gen- erally speaking, than right here in Connecticut, and to my mind the great problem that confronts the Connecti- cut manufacturers in the future is the economical feeding of our operatives; or, in other words, I believe that we ought to raise more farm produce. We can do it, and there is no reason why we should not do it.” This little spurt of enthusiasm over the poseibilities of Connecticut soil came after the colonel had returned from his farm_ to his office with the American Hardware corpor@tion. He had just had a few weeks of “close- to-the-soil,” and said he had never felt better in his life. “Why,” said he, “with me it is head up and tail over tihe dashboard.” And that is just the way Connecticut wants Colonel Jarvis to feel all of the time, but he couldn’t if he were governor. Being governor of Connecticut takes the gimper out of the strongest of men. ‘The colonel ows this, and is therefore wise in icking over the traces” thus early. As much as the state would like to ‘honor him with the highest office with- in her gift, her people are bound teo recognize his good sense in refusing to be lassoed.—Ansonia Sentinel.

Anything wrong, chief?” he continued solicitous— ly. “You're not looking well.” “Never thought I'd come to seeing things,” muttered the chief. “You're joking,” laughed Jack. “Thinking s0 much about Tom has kind of - given you cat-on-the-brain.

Jack did as he was bidden, but took good care to close himself on the out- side, from whence he climbed to the rooms above by means of a rope, sus- penied by the sympathetic Beman, and together with several other members of the department, they watched the chief as he laid a very unsteady hand All thér Route NEW YORK Chelsea Line - Fare $1.0 Unexcelied freight and passenger serviee direct to and from New York All Outside Staterooms, From Norwich Tuesdays, Thursdays Sundays, at 5.15 p. m.

Why Do Men DRINK? When you stop to think of the terri- ble results which come to men who in- dulge in excess in intoxicating bever- ages, well may you ask, Why do men drink? The fact simply stated is victim of the Drink Habit can no more liquor than a man with ague can stop shivering.” Drunkenness is a dis- ease and must be treated as such.
