THE DOMINANCE OF THE SQUTH The democratic papers of the state who clamer so for better representa- tion in this state, never say anything about the unequal representation in democrats of the south have reached the point where they can dic- tate to the democratic party the poli- cies it shall support. In the Sixty-second congress there are from the north 98 and from the south 130 democrats, a majority of 32 in the caucus, and they have used their power. They elected the speak the clerk, the doorkeeper, and postmaster of the house organization, leaving only the sergeant at arms to the north. There are fifty standing com- mittees of the house, big and little. The chairmanship of forty of these was given to members from the south, and that section took the chairman- ship of all but two of the so-called working committees, and those two went to Tammany members. Every measure proposed or passed in the ho 1 first the endorsement of the tic caucus, and it is clear that the south is taking care of her interests There is another matter connected with the south in congress that is of interest. In the reapportionment bill which passed both houses and is now a law, the number of members of con- gress to which each state is entitled based on the report of the census bureau and includes all the residents of the states, In the southern states the colored people are counted in de- termining the representation in con- gress, but colored men are not allowed to vote or to take part in election: Every white vote in the south counts as much as six in Connecticut in the election of members of congress. In five states in the south, namely, Ar- kansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia, there are elect- ed forty-three members of the hou Each received an average of 4, votes as agalnst an average of for each member of congress elected in Connecticut, In the five states referred to there were cast 208,701 votes for congress- men. In the state of Towa there were cast at the same election 211,430 votes. In the six southern stat forty-three members were elected, in the state of Towa were eleven. Is this fair? WHAT CONGRESSMAN WHITE DOESN'T KNOW. Congressman White of Massachu- setts did not meeting of the addressed by Pre and at- tended by most of the political lights of the Old Bay but he ven- tured to unbosom himself through an interview in the Boston American up- on the subject of the president's ad- dress. Mr, White said: 4 “As to iprocity I must confess that T have hall little or no time to make @& careful study of it. But I do believe that the sreat majority of peo- ple who clamor for it appreciate its results. 1 know the farmer and the agriculturist are opposed to it. I my- gelf do not see how it will reduce the cost of the neeessaries of life. I can- not reconcile myself to the fact that our fish industry would be injured by it or that it would work to the ad- vantage of Canadians, The reciprocity past should be carefully studied by the tariff commission, to which I consider it should be submitted well any other industry or schedule. I am speaking now without much study on this question, but one thing I fail to see is the justice or consistency of the situation. Perhaps the people are very much interested in what Congressman White doesn’t know; but, it is always better for a public servant to tell the people what he does know. as The Springfield Républican, com- ménting upon this speech, says: “That was particularly bold—the belief that ‘the great majority of peo- ple who clamor for it appreciate its results!” You bet they do. But it is clear that Mr. White is cool on reci- procity—which is pretty bad, consid- ering tha even Lieut.-Governor Frothingham, the ‘machine’ candidate for the nomination Mr. White is after, had quite a warm word for reciprocity or for the president in relation to reciprocity at the Essex gathering.” Champ Clark says the democracy has redeemed its promises. Things do not seem to be so very much cheaper because the 'democrats came to power. Harry Atwood’s managers were too numerous to make a cross-country flight so very inviting g SETTLED STRIKE.

The Des Moines Capital says with Teference to the matter: “The settlement marks the rapid clearing of the industrial sky which “Things have come toisuch a pass,” said Mrs. Cumback, “that my husband is blamad for everything that happens to the Crump family, and it's no won- der that he’s trying to sell ofit, so that he can move away from the neighbor- was decidedly cloudy for a short time. | pooq It also shows that when men are will- ing to lay aside their p-ejudices and iry to adjusi their differences upon the basis of honorable compromise peace is not very hard to Secure and to maintain. he issues involved in the recent controversy and the methods employed to settle the same have attracted the attention of the entire country. Be- side the satisfactory outcome to both the immediate parties to the contro- versy Des Moines has apparently won additional fame because of the unique steps taken to settle the trouble— steps which will undoubtedly be fol- lowed many times in dealing wi labor troubles which the future may develop.” A CLOSE ELECTION. The exciting campaign in Canada over the treaty of Feciprocit no doubt that Premier Laurier is hav- ing a trying time, and the fact is fore- shadowed that if reciprocity wins out it will be by a narrow margin.

This would defeat the agree- ment. Our democratic congressmen fur- nished good campaign material to de- feat this bill by giving the Canadians the idea that this country had a si ister motive in making the proposition. WE ARE A CARELESS PEOPLE. Doubtless half of the fire loss of the country, $1 000,000 annually, is due to design or carelessness; and now we are told the hen men lose $45,000,- 000 annually because of the sloven! way in which eggs are handled. The agricultural department has just ued a bulletin (No. 141), entitled The Improvement of the Egg Farm.” This bulletin states that the im- proper and antiquated manner of handling eggs in the United States resuits in the loss of $45,000,000 an- nually. This is 17 per cent. of the es- timated total crop of the farmers and other producers. In order to show that this loss can be prevented, the bureau of animal in- dustry last year sent an expert into the state of Kansas to conduct inves- tigations there. The resuits are given in this bulletin, “Altheugh but one season has been spent in this work,” says the bulletin, ‘several much desired changes have been brought about. The most im- portant of these was the adoption by shippers of the ‘loss-off system of buying and selling eggs. Copies of the bulletin can be secured by addressing the Secretary of Agri- culture, Washington, D, C. EDITORIAL NOTES.

There's use trying to be friendly with them, because they think. you have base de- signs, and if they have bad luck of any sort they charge it up to their neighbors. Why did Mrs. Bindernagle mova out of the neighborhood? Be- cause she was hounded by Mrs. Crump. One a4¥, when they were on friendly terms. Mrs. Bindernagle went to Mrs. Crump’s house to borrow a littde bak- ing powder. Mrs. Crump was lying b any | 0Wn with a sick headache at the time and shz told to the cupboard help herseif. “Next day Mrs. Crump was recover- ed from her headache, but wasn't feel- ing strong, so she thought she'd heat Mrs. Bindernagle to go in the kitchen and Jeaves | @ can of beans for her husband’s luncli, to save cooking. She put the can in a kettle of water and boiled it for fifteen minutes. and took it out, and set it on the table, and was looking for the can opener, when that can exploded like a keg of fireworks, and Mrs. Crump was plasterd with redhot beans and small pieces of pork, from her head to her heels. and the doctor had the time of his life with her. “She told all over the neighborhood that Mrs. Bindernagle rummaged through h2r cupboard for tem minutes while she was lying sick, and must lnvu“put a stick of hw;t’h“-; .can of beans, _of women Just l&olhhm "fi‘gduve it, and poor Mrs. Bindernagle was so morti- fled that she couldn’t stand it to jive in_our peighborhood any more. “Last night they had some kind of :myuny at Crump’s, and they: kept ngs " going until ~ after” midnight, making so much noise that we couldn’t sleep, s0 my husband and I sat on our front porch umtil Jate. We saw the guests come out of Crump’s house on to the porch, and after saying good night all round started going down the steps, and thzn there was so much circus acting we could hardly believe our eyes.

He was so impolite that my husband was compelied to hit him with a flow- er pot. Now, what right had he to take it for grantzd that Mr. Cumback put the soap on his steps? ““There was a policeman at our door first_thing this morning, and I expect it will mean another fine at the police court, and then my husband will have Crump arrested for something; and he will retaliatz, and so it wiil go until Q—~What and h Fire and Brimstone?” Revéjation 20; xx, 14, 15, Answer.—The book of Revelatio st i manifestly a book of signs and s 3™ Dols as stated in the beginning \ of the book (Revelation 1, 1).

A lake ‘of fire and brim- stone would, similarly, be a valley fill-| ed with these elements. Outside the ‘walls of the ancient city of Jerusalem there was such a lake of fire and brim- called the “Valley of Gehenna” to which all the refuse of the city was cast, and destroyed. When the New Jerusalem (Revelation xxi, 2) is established n the earth, all that sevors of unrighteousness and corruption will be destroyed (not tormented).

Dolan, Bedard and Lewis. The latter is or has bzen the warden of the borough, who Is sworn not only to obey but enforce the law, vet for the past thirty vears his name has figured in the police urts every short time for violating tha liquor laws, selling om Sundays, in a no-license town. The court says so many dollars and costs, and Lewis pays, only to be brought back again in a few mon for the same offense. Why not sug gest to the honorable ourt in this town the use of the Norwich jail as a remed for such a lawless official? Why should not an examplz be made of this contjnual law-breaker? The voters have declared that the no liquor sold in this place; yet the head official is one of the worst law- breakers. Let the voters of thz town show their disapproval of such officers when the election comes again and stand shoulder to shoulder as our fa thers did fifty years ago, to stamp out slavery and the men who stood up for it. One of the men fined is one of the list a few months ago in this same court. Dolan, located almost at the entrance of the church door, does mot respect neither the law of God nor man, and ths only remedy is a stay behind the bars for such men. The church in_this_place had a ‘hampion in the Rev. J. H. Fitzmau- who was_fearless in urging his peoble to the right. His removal must be regretted by the peopls not only of his own church but of all the churches. But I trust his successor will take the work up with greater zeal and energy to_stamp out this- class of men from ruining the youth of the parish and coming almost to our church door to assail it with the greatest weapon the church and state has to fear—the saloon, whether it is authorized by law or done as it is by Lewis. Dolan and Bedard in Jewett law says there shall be no saloon. Citizens, arouse and show that tl sacred power of the ballot, which is the greatest power you can enjoy, is respected, and give this stamp of men to understand, as well as all town and court officials, that no power is great- er than the power of the voter, and your will must be respected as su- preme, and the enforcement and\ deal- ing out of justice must be s as will meet this end. , i CITIZEN. Norwich, Ct, Aug. 26, 1911 ™ Stolen Umbrellas. Mr. Editor: We have had so little rain this summer that many persons have lost their umbreilas, because they forgot to return them home, after taking them away in anticipation of a shower that did not materialize. The man who is the last one to get up from the dinner table may be a hog. while the one who gets up be- fore he has eaten enough may be a fool. But the man who is big enough fool to zive a hog a chance to steal his umbrella may never re-cover it, un- less the hog becomes tired of a drought and brings back the umbrella with cloth sufficient to do the job. A dressed hog needs neither cloth nor umbralia. To recover a stolen umbrella is not much less difficult than it is for a handsome. attractive miss to recover a kiss after it has been stolen from her. A substitute could, of course, be s cured for either. €. H. TALCOTT. 26, 19111 NEW BOOKS. Norwich, Aug. Nixon-Roulet’s Indian Folk Tales. By Mary F.
