Norwich, Friday, July 21, 1911, The Circulation ol The Bulletin. The Bulletin has the largest eir- culation of any paper in Easters Commecticut, and from three te four times larger tham that of emy im Norwich., It la delivered te over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses ia Nor- d read by mimety-three por cent. of the people.

The passage by the senate of a bill creating a purchasing agent for the state should be passed by the house, although it was adversely reported by the committee. It looks to The Bulletin like a good thing. “Too many cooks spoil ‘the broth” is an old proverb; and “too many buyers interfere with economy” would make a good one. This measure has had the backing of three governors—Woodruff, Lilley, and Baldwin; and the opposition only of those who handle the state’s money and realize some political or other advantage from it. It is no reflection upon the conduct of the state’s trusted agents but a concentration of busi- ness with a view of gaining some- thing for the commonwealth thereb: The senate also passed the initia. tive and referendum bill by a vote of. to 6. Senator McNeil of Bridge- port is quoted as having said: “The bill simply provides that upon peti- tion of 10 per cent. of the electors of i+ state, any proposed legislation shall be submitted to the people for their approval or disapproval at the next succeeding election, so that they may advise their representatives of their wishes in the matter. This o of legislation is not new, as alread Oregon, Montana, Missouri, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Celorado and Maine have adopted the full initi- ativé and referendum, and many other states are going to have this law as quickly as the peopie can vote upon ft. This bill is a milder form of the initiative and referendum, as it is merely advisory in its nature, while the full initiative and referendum is mandatory.” This is a £00d test of Connecticut's citizenship. If the volers are indif- ferent to it in this form 1t will be & dead letter; but if 1 operate it and their expressed opinion is igno they will see that it is made manda- tory. ICE FOR POOR PEOPLE. Mr. A, Spalding, clerk in the, of+ fice of the selectmen, writes The Bul- letin concerning the distribution of ice to poor people in 'he Rose of New England,” that “Norwich has a citigen who for years nas placed in the hands of the selectmen a sum of mon- ey to be used for the purchase of ic for the sick and for infants in hot weather; and that through the recent heated ‘term many families were sup- plied with ice from this fund. The. donor does not care to be known in this matter, and ibe sided have no way of knowing wio their benefactor is. This fund was established fifteen vears ago; and those who have re- ceived the same do not know to whom they are indebted for this blessing, for surely it has been a blessing to many in the past; and if it has not saved liveg it has added much com- fort to invalid aduits and children in the yea gone by.” While The Bulletin is glad to learn of this, it is not surprised, for it seems to be the Norwich way, since the good things which are done and talked about in other cities, and deserve to be talked about, found to be done here in a modest and quiet way. The reward is in the knowledge of having helped the deserving sick®and grate- ful hearts are a benediction to such a donor whether they are identified or not. This is Christian charity in true form, and The Bulletin has no doubt lives have been saved because of it, as well as comfort carried to hundreds of sick rooms. Behind real charity is the charitable mind, which Boerhaave displayed when he said: My poor are my best paiients—God pays for them." Three important documents lost from the state department at Washington in three months: A voucher evidence of money improperly paid; the famous “Dick to Dick” letter; and the map of Controller bay. All concern the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy, and nly the first has ever turned up. ‘hese are evidences of innocence. The fact that young Mr. Garfield is ambitious to be president prompts his friends to bring him out now. It does not seem as if he had the claim on his party his father had: In these sham fights it does not appear to be possible to tell who won. It is diffieulty to believe the enemy has been annihilated when it is right in sight on the water. * Happy thought for today: When we flatter ourselves, we are engaging in a most dangerous occupation. It is difficult to tell which produces the direst results in Hungary, an elec- tion or an earthquake just issued a statement of the condi- tion of the crops of the country on July 1. For Conmnecticut, it is shown that on that date there were 66,000 acres of corn, whose. ' condition was rated as 88 per cent. perfect, one per cent. higher than the ten- year average. Oats are rated at $6 per cent., which is 7 ‘per cemt. below the ten-year av- erage. Rye at 81 per cent, is 8 per cent. below the ten-year average. Of tobac- co, there are 14,100 acres and the con- dition is given as 96 per cent., which is one per cent. higher than the aver- age for ten years, There are 34,000 acres of potatoes, ‘with an average condition of 83, which like the rest of the country, shows 9 per cent. below the ten-year average. Hay, including clover and timothy, 75 per cent, the average for the last ten years being given as 93 per cent. The condition of the pasturage of the state is given as 76 with a ten- vear average of 95. Considering thé severity of the drouth in the eastefn part of the state, and the small rainfall -eyery- where, this showing is much better than was expected. « ' THE ICE INVESTIGATION. The investigation of the ice trust in New York leaves no doubt that there is a great deal of misrepresentation on the part of the ice combine, for President Oler alleges that the Knick- erbocker company has skipped two dividends and has not paid above 1 1-2 per cent. in the past three years. There is nothing thrifty in such a presenta- tion of a big business. On the other hand, the small deal- ers make statements that the same company during the recent heated spell made them pay at the rate of 1 1-2 cents a pound in the hottest weather, or at the rate of $15 a ton, and one dealer of nine years' experi- ence with them says he paid $2.50 a ton until July 7, when he was charged $2.50 a cake. As it is not a question whether the company pays dividends or not, the president’s evidence is of little valu, but that the company has been guilty of extortion there appears to be no question; and to raise the price of a necessity 500 per cent. in a day be- cause of the discomfort of the people and the extraordinary demand for it is no less than a crime. Such speculators as these ought to be in jail instead of in business. THE CORRECT AUTO-SIGNAL. There' is nothing more !confusing than the great variety of sounds sent forth by auto horns and it is not strange that there is an agitation country-wide for a standard horn which shall be reliable as a darger signal, Upon this subject, Mr. Hudson Max- im, who is recognized as an interna- tional authority in the matter of sound, has this to say: “I am firmly convinced, from many years of practical experience in auto- mobiling, that the automobiie must be equipped with a distinctive signalling device, capable of giving an effective warning signal, which must of neces- in order to be a warning signal, be a harsh and startling sound. Such a signalling device enables the chauf- feur to avoid many serious accidents, which would inevitably result from the employment of a device emitting a pleasant or musical sound. ¢ “Caution and skill on the part of the chauffeur in the choice of speed and in the use of his brakes are not alone sufficient to prevent collisions. He must be armed also with a stron: effective warning signal. “The abolition of such warning de- vices on automobiles operated in crowded city streets would certainly result in injiry to numerous peisons and the loss of many lives, with con- sequent damage suits brought against drivers and owners of automobile: “The automobolist who makes un- necessary use of his harsh sounding signaf horn is as liable tc punishment for misdemeanor as he would be were he to go through the streets shouting at the top of his voice. “The antiquated bulb horn is about as inefficient a signalling device could be devised. If the chauffeur happens to become at all excited and attempts to make an unusually loud sound, with it, the tongue generally closes’ with the result that it makes no sound whatever.” EDITORIAL NOTES. mong her lost jewels was a gold cigarette case,” says a despatch. The revelation must be more trying than the loss.

Editor: Your editorial, “Jug- gling the Ballot,” in this morning's | issue, is right to the point. There is no field into which a person can tum- ble and make such an ass of them- selves, or show their ignorance so quickly as when they get to talking about sometifing they know nothing about. Just at present, Mr. Henry A. Blake doing considerable of New Haven i braying abcut the unconstitutionality of the Australian ballot and the dis- franchising’ of the vote It is very evident he never saw an Australian ballot, and would not know one from a side of sole leather. The Australian ballot does not disfranchise anyone, and is constitutional in any state for- tunate enough to have a legislature the majority of whom are intelligent enough to adept it. Massachusetts has been using the Australian ballot twenty-five years, more or less, and there has never been a Higgins-Jodoin muddle yet. There is no chance for argument. _ The present Connecticut ballot is unconstitutional. It's a disgrace to the state and those who made it the law, as well as the present legislagure, the ‘majority of whom are not intelli- gent enough to change it. It's a bal- lot that no man who has any respect for himself can use: and one which no man of any intelligence will use. The idea of going back to the old party ballots is nauseating. Through no fault or choice own I was born in Cognecticut and for that reason I »uu?‘like to see Connecticut get on the nfap as an up- to-date and progressive state, and noted for something else than a fool ballot and other fool laws, too numer- ous to mention. If the present legislature cannot put that ballot out of the way and adopt the Australian ballot, the soon- er they adjourn sine die and most of them go home and die, the better for the state, Yours trul.
