Every elector must have his mimd on the ticket he is to vote. he other tickets are as if they were not there. As a pertisan voling a straight ticket, the elector iply makes a ross in the ring at the top of the ticket he vote. The blank spa or blocks, at the left of the ticket, have nothing to @o | with wishes to vote for a part of the candidat s ticket he sim- ply writes the numes of the candidates he inte to vote for in the corre- sponding spaces of the blank ticket at the extreme right of the Australian ballot If any elector desires to vote for a candi’ate of any other he just makes a cross well with- o the left of the name he wishes to vote for. arty than hi tickets printed in The not lezal. and would not be counted it dropped into the ballot- ANTI-TARIFF. Another false pretense of Candidate Jodoin's—that instead of demand and supply, the tariff regulates market He quotes in a circular he is having distributed two weeks' store bill in 1596 and 1910, and 1t th stands $10.17 people have things have. Mr. Jodoin claims the republfcan party protets the trusts—in two demo- cratic administrations what did they o to balt them? The most conspicnous thing his party did was to find the Sherman act too defective for practical use; but Roosevelt used the Sherman against the trusts so effectively that he got several violators of the law into”prison and made all the trusts in the country enemies of the republican party. Mr. Jodoin is a stand-patter, just as he charges Congressman Higgins with being. He stands pat for Wilsonism, the destrultion of confidence in busi- so contrasted to” $19.11. The work and money to buy with now, in 1396 they didn’t ness, which must result in idle factories {ana mills, and starving workmen, the distribution of free clothing, the open- ing of soup houses, and all the troubles | which were brought to the laboring ciusses under President Cleveland's term of office and for some years after. Congressman Higgins stands pat for fhe law that protects labor as well as | business, and which keeps wages high- er in America than in any other coun- try in the world. The voters in making a choice of candidates should not overlook these facts REPRESENTA- SUPPORT YOUR TIVES. As the general assembly of 1911 will elect a senator, every republican puld realize the importance of see- ng that the republican nominees are osen, for this secures republican su- | bremacy ana supports the administra- tion of President Taft, than whom there has never been an abler or more prugressive Chief sutive. The republican representatives, Hen- ry W. Tibbits and Albert J. Bailey, are nen in every way qualified to guard |and promote the interests of the town und state, and o aid in the selection f a senator who will have sn eve to the welfare of all deserving interests and give hearty support to Taft's ad- ministration The triumpl of the party of free ade means overturned policies, the temporary destruction of confidence, I a reign of hard times, enforced tdleness and depleted bank accounts. \ vote for republican representa- tives is a vote for the most satisfac- tory governmental policies America has ever known. OCTOBER METEOROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED. October was the warmest October but one in thirty years, and the dry- est for forty. The temperature roge 1o 70 degress lwelve times, and for two days was at 5. which is within | five degr of the hottest October | weer four Octobers in forty years that less rain has fallen. The heaviest rainfall fn _the month for that period was in 1887, when it totalled $.84. The { shortage rainfull for the present " ghiorhood of Hostou warti, averaging over two ves | above normal daily ever since the e in excess of normal The excess of heat for October was 121 degrees, and the mean temperature There were two thunder storms during October, ‘| and these are said to0 be an omen of a cold winter. THE ONLY QUESTION. The only question there can be in the Third congressional disurigt, if e republican i3 true to his prinei- pies. with referenca to the re-clection of Edwin W. Higgins to congress. is the size of his pueality. The Third @istrict has goad repnte for keepins faithiug in tnd competent - congressmen {4 service, and the republicans of today know the value of having a man \the problem: of ability and experience representing the district at Washington. If there is one thing more than another Con- gressman Higgins is noted for, it is his polite and energetic persistence in promoting the iwelfare of his district and the state, an@ advancing)every £ood policy of the republican party. His record appeals for him to the vo- ters, and it is up to them to make his plurality large enough to attest ap- preciation of his work and a public interest in his personal weifare. THE JUDGE OF PROBATE. Judge Nelson J. Ayling of the pro- bate court, in his address to the re- publican nominating convention, called attention to the missionary work which it fell to him to do because of the consciousness that many of the clients of the probate court were en- gaged in unfamiliar business and needed persomal assistance in their duties from some competent person. This is one of the finest qualifications. a competent judge of probate can manifest, a service, by the way, that is not common, and (he one which strongest commends hith 1o the inter- est and support of the voters of the district. The affairs of his court are ably. honestly and sympathetically conducted, and no one is more careful- Iy guarded than the inexperiericed handlers of little estates. Judge Ayl- ing is the kind of a man forty pro- bate districts of Connecticut _have united upon by party action; and also of the type that the people will unite upon 2nd re-elect in most of the other 73 districts. Al parties will vote for Judge Ayling's continuance in office. THE CONFUSING VOICES. In his able address at Winsted on Thursday night, the Hon. George B. McLean presenied the subject of the tariff in a most impressive way. He told the voters that “a thousand voices to the right tell him that free trade is_wise, @ thousand yoices to the left tell him that free trade is folly thousand voices in front tell him that free raw material is the thing; a thou- sand voices in the rear tell him that a tariff for revenue only is a solution of a thousand voices be- neath tell him that the tariff is to blame for the high cost of living, and a thousand voices above him tell him that this is in no degree true. “Now, a sane man must conclude that, as all these voices cannot be right, somebody must be wrong, and with'such reliable and impartial tes- timony as he can get he must try to locate the mistake, and in this en- deavor he can easily concede that all parties at heart desire the prosperity of the mation. “Everyone knows how Ireland’s 60,000 cotton and woolen spinners and weavers dwindled to less than 3,000, as a result of the removal of her pro- tective tariffs. These things, to be sure, are mere incidents, but the fact that after 4,000 years or more of thought and experiment all the na- tions .of the earth but one have ap- proved and adopted protective tariffs is not an incident; it is upon the tes- timony of many witnesses based upon the experience of all the past against the testimony of one witness based upon the experience of a very few years. Tllustrating one effect of the protec- tive tariff, Mr. McLean said: “When the stocking schedule came up before the ways and means com- mittee last year it appeared that two- thirds of the standard grades of stockings worn. in this country were made in Germany and that as a con- sequence from 30,000 to 40,000 Ameri- can stocking makers were working half-time. The importers, of course, were opposed to raising the tariff. The great concern of Marshall Fleld & Co. of Chicago did its utmost to prevent a change. Mr. Payne of the commit- tee asked the representative of Mar- shall Field & Co. what profit they made on stockings at the then prices. Mr. Payne asked He declined to state. him if he was making from 30 to 100 per cent., and he declined to deny it. The duty on stockings was raised .018 a pair. Within a few months the American mills resumed work on full time and in less than six months stockings that had sold four pairs for a dollar were selling six pairs for a dollar. 1f time permitted T could mul- tiply instances clearly proving that tariff -has encouraged home capital and invention to compete in the manu- facture of articles formerly purchased abroad at prices to suit the seller, and that home competition has soon great- Iy reduceq the price of that article to the American consumer.” EDITORIAL NOTES. the pumpkin o'-lantern stage, was certainly secured. reached the its permanence Sarah Bernhardt has she can “come back,” and she bring a doctor and a cook with he; shown that They claim out west that the neigh- rhood club movement has the little d schoolhouse Dbeaten to a frazzle.

When the frost is on the pumpkin, “the dervishes” are dancing at night for Aurora, biting winds coming out of the northwest and snowflakes flurrying in the wind, and an occasional meteor flashing into our atmosphere we know that winter is nearby, and that out-of-door wor) needs to be stuck to if it is to be completed and things are to look neat and trim during the cold months. Cold ears and nose, tingling fingers and now and then a lone bird note are not cheerful accompaniments to in- dustry, but they accelerate the move- ments of a worker since they rob loitering of every pleasure. When | took up the dahlia roots following the black frost I noticed they differed materially from year to year. Some have had a lean time and some a fat time, and some have spread themselves, and some have ex- isted in modest retirement. It seemsé to me that it must be more in ac- cord with their nature than with their appetite that they model for them- selves roots. Some dahlins are s0 pro- lific that they burst the stem and the family cannot be kept together, and others commit race suicide by their indolence, presenting fibrous roots which only a profesional can nurse through from season to season. The same plants doh't always produce roots in the same number and form, or the same length and robustness. The Grand Duke and the King of Siam will make single roots like a rutabaga turnip, and be.so late sprout- ing in the spring that an inexperienc- 2d person might throw them away as dead and useless—but they do some- times make clumns of roots like de- cent, progressive individuals. There is no_accounting for the eccentricities of dablias. It may seem to be a little late to be talking about butterflies, even if No- vember in this latitude does have its open-air moths; but the Painted Lady butterfly, which was not long ago en- joying the wind-falls under the pear trees with the Red Admiral, is wor- thy of mention just because it is still the only cosmopolitan butterfly known to naturalists—this little red and white and black and gray and pink butterfly has made the whole but- terfiy zone of the earth its own. It just regales itself upon frult juices in the blueberry patches of the far north and the banana fields of the far south; orchards of New Eongland and the orchiards of Japan; in the vineyards of Italy and India; and in the gardens of Greenland and Thibet. How it ever crossed the seas cannot be imagined. It may have crossed the Atlantic by way of the Sunken Continent of At- lantis which extended from Mexico to Europe, and of which the islands of tha Atlantic are supposed to be the mountain peaks. This iittle fellow ba furnished a problemm man cannot solve. While' working out the other day removing the dead sunflower stalks and getting together all the stray weeds and rubbish for a bonfire, the English sparrows . flew to the Dear trees and uttered a sputtering protest against the destruction of their seed- stands, for to the dry sunflower seeds they had been fiying for weeks for re- freshment and had always found it: but they will still find on the ground where the sunflowers dropped them an abundant supply of seeds until winter closes in It was on the 28th of Octo- ber, and it was then the first chick- a-dee began searching the hop-poles for spiders and insect eggs and to her- ald with his cheerful song the ap- proach of snow, in which it de- lights to flutter and to bathe itself. The chick-a-dee is as social as the wren or the house &parrow and ap- pears to love to visit civilized com- munities, for it haunts the backdoor' when snowdrifts are piled up in the garden with the persistence and assur- ance of a hungry tramp. There is an old s: ‘yin;n that woman who sings while she is mal ing bread will cry before it is eaten.”| I guess that depends more upon the | nature of the woman than it does | upon the quality of the singing or the bearing of the incldent upon this spe- ofal industry. This maxim may have been invented 8o as to make the bread- maker keep her mouth shut and her | eyes open while engaged in preparing | food, which would be a very good ruse for a worthy purpose, that does not need explaining. A merry heart can sing without vocal demonstra- tion. Sometimes the mouth sings, when the heart doesn't. There is| nothing hecomes industry like silence. Aohievement needs no cryer, for it speaks for itself. the bread ~of the singer might provoke somthing dif- ferent from song which might cause the weoping. It would be safe enough to bet that every singer at the bread | board does mot cry before it is eaten. The weeds like the birds are always with us. The chickweed, that little, defier of the hoe, is flourishing and if_she eould induce ail the others to follow suit. The Panama canal gates are to cost five millions; and it sesms big even when you think Mr. Rockefeller might hang a hundred of them on his prem- ises just for fun. There should be sharpened black- | lead pencils tied in the voting booths since the law requires their useand e ery American citizen is not accustomed to carrying a black-lead pencil with him The priest who advised the Amer can politicians to “keep above the snowline and to refuse to be dragsed down into the mud,” doesn’t realize how hot they are, or how difficult the task might prove to be. republican state central com- mittee's proposal to make a formal vote compulsory In party caucuses, and to have the primary meetings in this state all heid on the same day, will meet with general approval among the rank and file. The The Killing of Mallard Ducks. According to James Henry Rice, Jr. a naturalist of high repute. one of. the finest of aquatic game birds, the beanutiful mallard duck, is absolutely | doomed to extinetion unless better work is done by many of the states for his preservation. | At Big Lake, Ark., in one winter a | sinzle pot hunter sold 8.000 mallards and from that point 120,600 of then we t to market. Tt is estimated ish of Calcasieu, La., 1 of them were killed last win and tons of them were slaughtered at Lake Malheur, Ore., for their feathers. A few vears ago in Canada, along the Great lak to Hudson bay the robbery o eries was a regular industry and millions of mallard eggs were sold, their contents being used | in the manuficture of glue. Canada, with her customary genius for con- servation, has put an end (o this wick- ed trafic Most states, if not all, provide clase seasons for the benefit Gf the wmallard But the harm i3 dafe by the fearful | sinughter permitted.

You cannot rival for one Hour the dreariest, bleakest day of all the ‘October’s bright, blue weather!” So sang Helen Hunt Jackson, the sweet singer of the west who, by the way, was transplanted from the old State” She is one of the many ngs which New England has furnished to her younger sisters of the west. For myself, June with its promise of brighter days to come is preferable te October with its chilly forecast of winter. But autumn has its glories as Helen Hunt well knew from her life in both New England and Colo- rado. It seems as if the trees real- ized that the season of flowers was at an end, and that they felt obliged to do their best at furnishing color to the_ view. Certainly the bright vel low and red of the maples, the yellow of beech and birch, and the ruddy brown of the oak—trees do_much to brighten the landscape. Even the woodbine spreading its crimson tangle over walls and stone gheaps, serves to ‘beautify the scene, while bitter-sweet opens its yellow cups to disclose the red drop within. The pale blue of the autumn sky often dimmed by haze forms a delightful background for the color so lavishly furnished by Nature’ painters. The Rose of New England with its encircling hills affords some fine studies of color this eeason. About our streets are many maples whose brilliant tints gladden the eye and heart with their beauty. How dear they are to the children who eager- 1y search for leaves of especial at- tractivensss in size and color mark- ings! Even after the leaves are all sear and brown, what fun these same little folk have in scuffing through the heaps of dry foliage, and best of ali, how they enjoy the bonfires ligh at dusk to blaze and glow In the dim light! Tt always seems easy to derstand why there were fire- shippers in olden times. _As the flames leap up in the dark, it is not difficuit to imagine them to be the outward expression of outward My. ing force, powerful for good and evil, a good servant but a bad master. Our hills raise now and then some trees to outline itself above its fallows and attract our attention by its perfection of symmetry. What .more beautiful than the perfect dome of a tall maple, standing sufficlently apart to be sep- arate from Its companions! It would seem almost as if it wers pruned into shape by the knife of some giant for- ester, so evenly does every branchlet | fall into the curved line of the entire | trse. Before the woods on Rogers Hill were cut off, anyone coming down Broadway had but lift his eyes while crossing the head of Bath street, to obtain a view far beyond the abili- ty of any artist to portray. Sufficient evergreens were thera to mingle their deep green tones with the gorgeous colors of their neighbors and aid in making a picture worthy to hang on memory’s walls. The trolley_ride to Baltic or th> one toward Westerly furnishes another rare treat of the same sort. _One of the most glorious autumn views in my exoerience came to me one day at Gales Ferry. Should any Of my readers ever summer at that pleasant apot on the Thames river, they should remain there till the trees are in their antumn dress. Then walks about the surrounding country following winter. Stroll where one may, glimpses of glorious scensry in autumn array greet one on every hand, but beyond and above all, Ruddy Gore remains in my mind e joy forever. The grey, weather-beaten walls of this old, rambling farmhouse, dating back to Revolutiondry timas, serve only to enhance the brilliant background of landscape, stretching out before us as we crossed the enclosure about the .house and gazed off to the distant hills. From our point of view, many little hills appeared to overlap one another, recalling picturés of the fam ous Delaware Water Gap, each one clothed to its summit with a dense mass of foliage. Jack Frost had used his brush to good effect and with generous supply of gorgeous tints, mingling the vivid red and yel- low of maples with the darker tones of the owk and the lighter shades of the chestnut and beech, while here and there an evergreen afforded a de- lightful contrast to the brilliant hues of ite more gayly dressed assoclates. Over all the clear, cioudless, intense blue of a twpical October sky added to the glory of the landscape, while the crisp ill of the air was an in- vigorating tonic. Even the squirrels seemed to be conscious of the grand- eur of the scene, and to show by their frolicsome Jjoy their appreciation of Nature in one of her loveliest maoods. Now is the harvet season for others than the squirrels, and man rejoices in the abundant returns which crown his labors of the preceding months, while the merry voices of the workers in field and orchard ring out 1otd and clear in thankful tones. October has its own festival now in Columbus day Could the heroic soul in whose honor the day is appointed now see this country, he would surely fecl that a great harvest. had Dbeen produced from the small begin- ning in 1492. And what child would like to give up the sport and merry- making of Hallowe'en with which the month of October closes its record. These falling leaves and gathered harvests remind us also of the ap- proach of Thanksgiving, the one day of ths year dear to so many Ameri- can households. To many weary souls the drifiting ves bring the thought of rest from lador. As the flowers fade one after another. and the trees cast their leaves to the ground, they ail remind us of the renewal of life in the spring after the winters rest’ so that all sadness of farewell is lost in the hope of the future. Helen Hunt expresses this thought very beautifully in that most delightful poem, “Down to Sleep. : “Fach day my steps grow slow, grow light As through the woods I. reverent credp, Watching all things le “down to sleep.” “I hear their chorus of “Good-night;” And half 1 smile, and half I weep, Listening while they lie “down sleep.” to “Some warm soft bed in field or wood, The mother will not fail to keep Where we <can lay us “down to sleep.” AN IDLER. seeding now iIn every warm corner of tillable land, and it ¥s not unusual to | find it pert and in bloom in protected | spots on mild January days.

It is rather surprising that chick- | weed should have maintained its in- dependence and acquired such hardi- ness that it flourishes in an atmo- sphere that makes an end of even the | chrysanthemum, which not infrequent- 1y sits in @ snowbank for daye before | it expires. | The girl who says she would not | marry the best man living is all right, since the best man living has never been identified and classified, and is not likely to be. Such. girls, If | given time, usually marry, and they | think that they married the best man | they knew: and sometimes they de- Iude themselves with the honest belief | that there was never another man | just like him; and those who know his world-life generally endorse this | sentiment, although they speak from | |what they know, while his wife just represents him as she imagines him | to be. The fact that women take a | spouse for batter or worse is no joke, and it would mot have had to have been put into the marriage cere- mony as a binder, had he not won re- pute for being somewhat worse than better. This is a funny little world we live in. if it is the bisgest old world we can lay claim to. We are what we are and that is all there is | to it! It has beer: said "It takes hardships a long time to sail out of sight:” but that depends upon whether they are aground in shallow water, or at an-|, chor in the chanmel ready to depart with the tide.

OF course, voul people who keep a whole fleet | of hardships anchored in -port to re- | scribe fo their friends and to ween | over.

There are plenty of folks who act as if they he- were the bi things on earth. They make life an inexhaustible source of complaint instead of an end- less source of joy.

What He Did. | | | “What did young Mr. Poplojay do | when your father had kicked bim down the front steps because he tried “Oh, he stood out on the sidewalk | and made a fesw cursory remarks.”— Chicago Record-Herald, SUNDAY MORNING TALK GOODNESS VERSUS NICENESS. “Make the bad people good,” prayed the Httle girl, “and the good people nice” Who has not at times echoed this petitfon? We approve and respect goodness, whatever its outward ap- pearance, but if goodness can also be attractive it carries more influence with us. A bright girl once remarked con- cerning a collage classmate of mine that he was the first good man she ever met whom she really liked. The rest of us thought her observation ex- tremely unpleasant. Jt virtually ‘m- plizd that we were either bad or not nice, and neither horn of the dilemma was acceptable. However, as the man who had won the yovng fady's favor was at the same time the most popular man in our class, we endured ths com- parison and congratulated our fotu- nate comrade The singular thing about non-at- tractive goodness is that you encoun- ter it frequently in religious circies. That eminent Wesleyan preacher who died not many years ago in London, Hugh Price Hughes, once said concern- ing one of his deacons: “Ha is a very 200d man, but he doesn’t remind one of the Lord Jesus Christ.” There, pr. - ably, was a man absolutely upright, who' never deviated from the straight paih, whose title was absolutely clear to » mansion in the skiles, but who somehow lacked. that touch of beauty and charm which we associate with the highest type of human personality.
