This is the 134th anniversary of the stars and stripes; and it is one of the oldest and most beautiful national em- blems on earth because nations are so revelutionary and ageressive that their emblems are not constant. It means more for humanity than any flag that floats, because beneath its folds there is larger liberty than in any other nation; it protetts more proaperous homes: repregents a great- er amount of wealth; and has been ably defended on land and sea. It was baptized as “Old Glory” in the conflicts of the civil war, and by this title it is precious to the hearts of the old soldiers who made every star upon it shine. Some of our fel- low eitizens have thought it did not need the name, but they were not in conflicts where the mortally wounded zave it their last cheer and the brave coler sergeants hugged it as they fell and Missed it with guivering lips. It was out of gallant hearts this sobri- auet for the flag sprang; for waving in triumph after victory nething on this earth looked more . glorious to the brave men who survived the con- flicts. It never can be anything less to them. The American flag is worthy all the henor true American patriots have bestowed on it. and thousands will, as thousands have, die to protect it. OPPOSED TO THE MINORITY BILL. The Hartford Courant makés out a z00d case against the public utilities 1l passed by the senate, which it claims will be pronounced unconstitu- nal The Courant says “The Courant takes the liberty to repeat today some of the reasons given aditorially vesterday why the so- alled minority bill on the utilities juestion would be dnclared unconsti- utiomal. “These are in effect that the strong point (the teeth, as the orators have t) of the minority bill will be found in its provision that the commission <hall have power to regulate rates. It also, of course, has power to investi- gate rates and decide whether they are fair. Our own supreme court has said through Mr. Justice Hamersley that: ‘A main purpose of the division of powers between legislature and judi- ature 18 to prevent the same magis- racy from exercising in respect to the same subjects the functions of judge and legislator. The union of functions is & menace to civil liberty and is for- bidden by the constitution. “This is as positive and direct a deelaration ag could be sought that a cemmission to pass on rates and then to make new ones would be unconsti- tutional “Phe advocates of the minority measure have banked heavily on Gov ernor Baldwin's appr It is eaid that enough senators Fe that as it m val of their Dill. his support changed to carry that body. , the fact should not eseape attention, first, that Governor Baldwin, when a member of the su- preme court, dissented from the opin- fon just quoted, the only member of the eourt to dissent, and in approving this project he is simply reasserting his own opinion which the court as a body has pronounced against, Still further, it cannot escape notice that Governor Baldwin in his inaugural messege called on the general assem- bly to pass a constitutional amend: ment that would make such legislation Jawful. This is equivalent to admit- ting it is now unlawful, which is wise after the supreme court has so .de- clared it, But, if this legislation would be unconstitutional and consequentiy neffectiye, what in the world is the use of ing 162" The Courant desires to have a law anacted that will stand every he pract till the end of test time. nd ical GETTING IN THE AVIATION CLASS It able community the aviation class, ford county, tle Connacti s a worthy ambition for any to want to so Bristol loom up ut rial is booked to lead in this direction, The Bristol Press says “the Mechan- ics guild deserves hearty encourage- ment for the excellent work that it is size- into get in ¥ s one t center that doing.

The Boston Tramscript saye: “The Mellen- izing of the Beston & Maine has eti- cemtly begun.” in April of last year, while prices the recard of imports, are less defined, in their tendency, Of, the 46 articles of exportation whose- monthly prices are recorded by the bureau of stati: tics, department of commerce and la- bor, 32 show lower prices, 9 show higher prices, and 5 show no change. Of the 38 articles enumerated in the table of monthly import prices, 17 decreased in price, 18 increased, and 3 showed no change, comparing April, 1911, prices, with those of April, 1910. As the prices of articles exported from the United States are based upon their actual cost, or wholesale market price in the respective domestic ports at the time of exportation, and as the prices of articles imported are those in the country whence exported to the Unit- ed States as siated in the sworn in- voices filed with American consuls at foreign ports of shipment, the above citation would seem to justify the general assertion that domestic prices are, for the most part, lower tham in April last year, while prices abroad are almost equally divided between increase and decrease. The export commodities the prices are lower the same month last year, corn, wheat, flour, meats, dairy prod- ucts, sugar, glucose, cottonseed oil- cake and meal, bituminous coal, cop- per ingots and bars, raw cotten, bleached cotton, cloths, hay, hops, s>le leather, rhineral oils, both crude and illumirfating, parafine, starch, and va- rious manufactures of iron and steel Higher prices; on the other hand, were revorted on anthracite coal, unbleach- ed cotton cloths, canned salmon, rosin, in which April than in include, i spirits of turpentine, flaxseed, leaf- tobacco and plug tobaeco. Dyed, cal- ored and printed cotton cloths, can- ned beef and flaxseed oil-cake are un- changed in price when compared with April of last year OUR INCREASING TRADE. Trade of the United States with_its non-contiguous territories in the fiscal vear which ends with the current month will exceed 200 million dollars, against less than 100 million in 1904. During the ten months endifg with April, for which details have been re- ceived by the bureau of statistics, de- partment of commerce and labor, the trade in question has proceeded at the rate of 202 million dollars per annum, compared with 191 million in 191 118 million «in 1805, and 96 million in 1904. In this trade merchandise re- ceived in the United States slightly exceeds in value that sent to the ter- ritories in question, though shipments from the United States show the larg- er and more rapid growth. In 1803, the earliest year for which complete records are available, the shipments from the United States to the terri- tories under discussion—Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines— aggregated 36 million dollars; in 1910, $3 million: and in 1911 seem likely to ve 96 million—a gain of 60 million dol- lars, or nearly 170 per cent. Inward shipments from the territories were 59 million dollars in 1903, 108 million in_1910, and,at the rate of 107 million in" the ten months of 1911, a gain of 48 million dollars or 80 per cent. over 1993 The largest gain in outward trade with the non-contiguous _territories was in shipments to Porto Rico, those in 1911 during the ten months for which figures are at hand having been at the rate of million dollars per annum, against 27 million in 1919, 1% million in 1903, and 7 millien in 1901, the year following its organization as a customs district of the United States. Te Hawaii the shipments dur- ing 1911 to date have been at the rate of million dollars per' annum, against 20-1-2 million last year, 11 mil- lion in 1903, and $ 3-4 million in 1800. To Alaska, the domestic shipments during the fiscal year 1911 have been at the.rate of 20 million dollars per annum, compared with 18 o last year and 9 1-2 million in the vear in which the official record began, To the Philippines islands the vear's shipments of domestic merchan- dise ‘will aggregate about 19 million dollars, against 16 3-4 million last year, 4 miliion in 1903 and 1 2-3 mil- lion in 1900, Hawaii ranks first among the non contiguous territories in the value of | shipments to the United States, though this year's figires are considerably © low those for 1910, During 1911 the shipments have thus far been at the of 40 million dollars ra per annum, against 46 million last year EDITORIAL NOTES.

In the struggle for freedom and right, In the fight 'gainst oppression and wrong; "Tis the sign of a great nation’s might, Ever fair, ever just, ever strong, Here is white, for the purity shown In our actions at home and abroad, Where the world knows we were serving alone Our conscience, our duty, our God; May it ever be spotless and clea: And ne'er know the guilt of a stain, No substance or shadow of fear Could e’er be made holy again. Here is the blue, for the truth of our cause, For fidelity, wisdom and power In upholding the strength of our laws ’Gainst the clamor of anarchy’s hour; May our constancy, faith never cease; May we show that our motto is just; That we are ready for war or for peace, And at all times in God is our trust. Here are stars for the heroes who died, That their well beloved country might live; Here are stripes to be swiftly applied To the nation presuming to give Any cause for offense to the bird Whose wing shields the poor and oppressed, And whose wild note of warning is heard When danger approaches his nest. Then hail to the flag that we love; Fling it loose to the heaven sent breeze; May the blessings of God from above, Be with it o’er land and o’er seas, May its length or its breadth ne’er grow less While it waves o’er the brave and the true, And may God in His goodness still bless Old Glory—the Red, White and Blue. that | would maie Charles . iline. secretary | —BY WILLIAM PIERCE # o T b o Tat cannot work ldose.

Piper, governnient forage expert,’ who hay been investigating forage comditions in the islands, states that the mountain pastures of the Phil- ippines afford a splendtd opportunity for stock raising. The ice plant at Manila shows a net profit for the insular government of $179,820 for the fiscal year 1911; the plant sold - 38,434,397 pounds of- ice, which is 2,000,000. pounds more than for the previous banner vear, 1906.. A report recently prepared indicates that the recant army tests of orange- red underwear for soldies in the Phil- ippines do not show this class of gar- ment superior as a protection against tropical heat and sunshine to the style previously used.
