It is nothing new for the selectmen of Nerwich to recommend a tax which s lower thar expect the voters o approve has long been a ashion—a fashion open to criticism. they of. It e Bulletin has for several years .lled attention to the fact that the stis library appropriation which makes that institution auxiliary to schools of the town should be con- sidered a regular expense and be in- luded in the estimates of expenses as sure as the appropriation for the high- ways. Now we have in addition to this the payment of the tuition of town pupiis a ding the Academy, which was new last year, but which should be egularly continued in future, There s no tax money beiter expended than that which goes 1o produce a more in- telligent and better citizenship, and there is no money appropriated from which the benefits are more generally ted among the people. 3 ill take over a mill more than he § 1-2 mills recommended, the low- est recommended tax lsvy for years, the way: and it means that the tax rate will have to be raised to 7 1-2 mills to meet the expenses which the s e endorsed and will en- nomy is most commendable if it « not the sort of economy which tunts the soul of man. Norwich always has striven to stand on a level with the enterprise and en- ghtenment of the best cities of her size, and The Bulletin does not be- e she will take a backward step this vear. HOW IT HAPPENED. Since General Baldwin has vetoed the appropriation bill for goed roads )ecause it carried protection to the state highway commissioner, which would have looked better appiied to all commissioners, the Hartford Cour- ant pr sceeds to say: There are two main rea signed by the governor for his deci jon. Ome is that a single commissioner e selected by this amendment and all the others equally subject to the gov- ernor's arbitrary action are left out Is it possible that the 'governor had not heard, with all the little birds that about the cagitol, that the amend- ment had to be limited to the high- way gommissioner or e some of the governor's suppo uld have had thrown out as germane to the main resolution, ppropriating for highways tut the second objection is the leep-down and vital consideration. On broad general proposition of inter- with governor's prerogative nly objects to having a removal subject 1o anybody- but the governor who makes the appointment, and fur- ther he objects to diverting or per- erting the duties of the judiciary in this way and he even questions| whether such a thing is constitutional! Is it possible that his excellency, who was so interested in the public utili- ties bill and who signed so readily the measure that passed the legisla- ture, did not observe that the public stilities act contains just the same provision for removinz his appointees utilitfes board that he now finds to the bl oper and unconstitutional pplied to the highway commissione If this was the first time the gov- ernor had made himself appear incon- sistent it would be surprising, but the same partisanism which led him to support Bryan makes him blind to other rational and just procedures, Wednesday the house passed the ap- propriation bill over the governor's eto and the senate will doubtless fol- suit when ow If the Almighty Dollar can force Sunday rum-selling and compel the state to give away the Connecticut river for commercial uses, it shows t par.y leaders bow. down to, Two hupdred and one American cit- ies have 1, playgrounds: and every city in Massachusetts with over 10,000 population but twe, support such grounds by taxation, In the light of his recommendation for Dr. Wiley Secretary Wilson's judzment appears to have been aw- fully warped. Happy thought for today: The world isn't careful to ask how you got there when you arrive Norwich, Thursday, Sept 21, 1911. very stockholder in the New York, ew Haven & Hartford Railroad com- pany probably is intelligent enough to know that if the company can earn 9 per cent. on its capitalization, as the Boston News Bureau certifies that it is doing at the present time, its earnings will, when Mr. Mellen's great plans are a little further developed, Dbe nearer 12 per cent. than 9 per cent. “The opening of the Westchester rapid transit line, in which so many millions have been invested, must add tremendously to the revenues of the company, and the Westchester line is only one of a great number of new or enlarged sources of income which provided for the property of which he is in charge. 3 “We know of no safer or better in- than the ewaHaven country York, vestment in this shares of the New & Hartford railroad at their present price. it is quite possible that Bo e shares will show a greater relative advance in market because of the abnormally low at which they are now selling.” value, rate ALL WILL BE FORGIVEN. The Norwich Bulletin makes a sug- gestion that is full of point-and pith. It says: ““This long session of the leg- islature might distinguish itself be- yond compare by just passing a law forbidding the Connecticut general a sembly to continue its sessions ever again over four months.” It is a good idea! Just do that and all will be forgiven!—That is, most all.—Bridge- port Standard. The voters are going to be given an opportunit to settle this matter at the polls at the next election in Oc- tober, and let us hope that the intel- ligent citizens of the state will all record their will upon it. It is a shame to questions of burning interest decided by thirty per cent. of the reg- istered voie of the state. If the electors do not malke better use of the franchise all who read the papers will be war- ranted in the conclusion that the vote on such issues as small as it is tru represents the progressive and intell see gent citizenship. It would certainly be a fair interpretation of such disclos- ures of indifferedce. THROWING AWAY FRANCHISES. it is time Connecticut received something more substantial upon her franchises. The governor will have the approval of the people in his veto- ing of the Connecticut River ,com- pany’s charter which tosses over for commercial use one of the grandest rivers in New England. It may be as claimed that this is the first step toward building up a great industrial center in Connecticut to compare with Holyoke, Mass.: but this is no reason why capital should not pay a fair price for the great and continuous power it is receiving from the state. New York city has been wise in this respect. It has never given away its water front and the property it owns there yearly pays an enormous income in rentals. Several of the railroads pay more than $100,000 a year in rents for the ground occupied by their freight terminals. The rentals of the land occupied by the great steamship companies is also surprisingly large. According to the annual report just made public, the dock department revenues from this source are more than $4,600,000 a year, the total in- come being over $5,500,000. The governor in vetoing this meas- side of the people; for 0ok the simply and the general assembly the cut to take the opposite view and pass the amendment over the executive veto. ur it suicidal EDITORIAL NOTES.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO LITTLE FOLKS. i TUncle Jed is interested in the studies | and the plays and the trials of the little | folks, and he wants them to fezl free ‘o write him as a true friend, for he thinks he may be a real help to them in many way as well as in presenting ) them good, entertaining hooks to read. Somatimes the writers for a depart- mment like this are called “Happy Ham- mers,” or “Busy Bees,” and I wonder if the girls and boys of this depart- r.ent can think of a good name for the members, so that we can feel like ona real family of co-workers and friends.

A Visit to a Bird Store. Dear Uncla Jed: This summer when I was on my vacation I went to visit bird store. The first part of the store was very noisy. I saw a number of parrots, all colors, and some were making terrible noises. As [ went to look .at a large green parrot she hollered: - “I'm out! I'm out!” Another parrot which was a lovely pink all over did not say a word. I also saw canary birds. pigeons, Ifinches, goldfinches, rabbits, kittens, white mice, and in a large cage 1 saw « beautiful golden oriole. It was very noisy and was flying wildly about the cage. 1 think it was a wild bird that lad just been caught, as 1 have never heard of any tame orioles. There were many other birds of { which I do not know the names. It was a very interesting visit, and I hope that all of the boys and girls of this department will have a chancz to t a bird store some time. 1 hope that I can go there again next year. I remain as ever, Your little friend ¥ 1IE BROWN Norwich, Aug. 26, 1911. The Squares of Montreal. As w2 land on Victoria pier after a two hundred mile trip on the river St. Lawrence, the first thing we see is a heantiful Statue with outstretched arms tanding on Bonsecours church. This church is the first and last place mariners visit in Montreal. It stands on Jacques Cartier square. Here is Bonsecours market. Farm- ers and butchers by the hundred are there selling their goods to a crowd of people. The city hall and court house are on the squars and the oid French Chateau de Ramezy. On Place d'Armes square is the stat- ue of Maisonneuve, the founder of the city, the beautiful church of Notre in the rear. This chapel noted for its_architecture, sculpture, paintings and decorations. The paintings are by Canadian artists who have studied with renowned mas- ters in Paris. The Bank of Montreal and postoffice are on this square. On Dominion square is the Sir John McDonald monument. The beautiful Windsor hotel, Y. M. C. A. building, St. George's Episcopal church and St. Dame with chapel James' R. C. cathedral near the bish- op’s paiace. They are all worthy of notice for their architecture. Phillips square is the principal shop- ping and thaater district. The art as- scciation building is on the square. Now we take the car for Mont Royal. Then take the elevator to the top of the mountain and view the whole city. It is a beautiful view. We visited the Montreal baseball grounds on Atwater avenue and St. Henri Le Uhevalier de Coloma building in Westmont, also La Fontaine council, K. of (., building on Sherbrooke strest and the William E. Tobin lumber, yards on Papineau ave- nue. 1 h Uncle Jed and all his little writers could visit this North Ameri- can city of Montreal.—Richard W. Tobin, Jr.. age 9. Norwich. The Girl Who Helped. 1t was Saturday morning, Nelly Lee's Frolida and she went singing ga: around the house as she did the little duties that fell to her share on that Gay. Nellie's mother kept no servants. but Nelly was of groat assistance, so will- ing was she to do her best. “Can’t you come out and play?* asked Rosa Beach, watching Nell as she cleared off the breakfast table one morning. “Not until T've finished my work; then I can come,” was tha reply. “I should think you would rather come out in the sunshine than stay in here washing dishes.” said Ros: Her mother kept a servant maid and Rosa never thought of helping. “But I love mother, so I like to help {her.” was the reply What a wonderful thing is love! How it helps to lighten work and maie even common tasks enjovable., It was hecause Nelly really and trujy lovad rer mother that she preferred staying in to do the little things she was ca- rable of accomplishing.—Olive G. Whitehouse, age 13, Mansfleld Center, Conn. What Willie Learned. who lived all by himself in a great big stone house surrounded by a vast park | inciosed with iron railings. The house | was large and had many rooms, but tie little old gentleman lived all by him- Sf in a tiny hail bedroom, and though | he was ma ¢ wealthy he cooked all his own meals himself and made his own’ bed and swept and dusted. It was not because he was stingy, and it | Was not because ho was disagreeable and hard to get along with. The only reason the little old gentieman lived all alone was because nobody could be i1 duced to stay in a house where thers was a flue in the chimney—and there was a flue in the chimney of this par- | ticular hous one of the largest and | most vigorous flues that had ever been heard of in that land. Perhaps you do not know just what a flue is, and so you must be told. It's a sort of crea- ture that makes its home.in chimneys and lives mostiy on draughts, and when the wind blows it sings “Whoo-oo-0! Whee-e-e-e!” up and down, high and low, till nobody_can sleep and almost everybody puts his head under the bed covers and shakes and shivers. He was much eased when morning at breakfast he opened his | mail_and found a letter from his ughter, whé lived in a lighthouse, ing that she was sending her litile ed to visit his grandfather. Now. the old gentleman was much pieased at the idea of having company one and so he scurried about and got raady another hall bedroom for his liftle erandson. That afternoon when the hoy arrived his grandfather met him at the gate and showed him all around the place, but he did not say anything at_all to him about the flue. “For,} said_ha to himself, “T don’t hear ani noise and I don't see why other peo ple should hear any. T think they just fancy it.” So Ned was quite unprepared for the frightful noise that greeted his ears when he got info bed that night. Wh-0-0-0-! went the flue. “Wh-e-e-e!” And Ned dived under the bed covers in a jiffy. After a few moments, when he ventursd out from | bis hiding and found that. although the roise still Kept on. nothing happened. | < he jumped rizht out of hed and set | eut to tind out who was making the | rouise and to make him stop Once upon a time there dwelt in a castle a king, queen and their son.| Willie was always tearing up paper. There was once an old gentleman , He followed the sound tb the great hall and always it kept Zrowing louder and louder. Ned walked straight up to the fireplace, rapped on the hearth- stone and called up the chimney in a loud voice: e here! You stop that noise! I can't get to sleep!” Now, the flue had been having a jolly time, sitting on the edge of the chimney and whooping and wailing, and when he heard hims=If spoken to he was so astonished that he tumbled right off the edge of the chimmey and slid down inside of it, landing with a bump on the hearth at Ned's feet. “Now, vou sce here,” said Ned. be fore the flue had recovered from his surprise, “you're making altogether too wauch noise, and I won't have it. You've got o go right away at once or stop!” The flue, like most blustery people, was not really brave, and when talked to in this severe fashion he collapsed. “Oh, if you please, vou severe littla boy.” said he. “T can’t stop. 1 have to Whoop and, wail like this,’ ‘and he be- gan “Wh-0-0-! Whe-e-e-e!” but in a subdued tone. Well,” said Ned firmly, “then the only thing for you to do is to go somewhere else.” “But wherever I go,” said the flue, “people will be just as unreasonable as you are, and they won't like my Whooping and wailing.” “That's true” said Ned. *I don’ know just exactly where you can go. Then ‘suddenly he said: “Oh, Flue I've thought of such a beautiful ar- rangement!” “What is it?" asked the flue. “Why, it's just this,” renliesd Ned. “You see, mother and father live in a lighthouse way off from the land in order to take charge of the light and -the foghorn—but the foghorn very fre- quently gets out of order. Now. if vou'd go and live there and take the place of the foghorn my mother and father would be perfectly delighted. Then they could somatimes leave the lLighthouse and come sund visit my grandfather, who's so lonely.™ 3 “I will go Tight away.” cried the flue in delight. “Where is,it? - Ned told lim and he whisked up the ciimuey and wailed his way ovar the land to the lighthouse—and Ned went back to bed peey j His mother tried every way she think of to stop him, but all in vain. She could not. i : But one day she thought of a plan, So she thousnht she would try it and maybe it might break him. He dearly loved to see the great clusters of grain hanging from the| stalks. He would go a mile to just see a cob of red corn, because that was said to mean good luck. The very next day Willie‘was tearing up paper again. His mother called to him and said: “You naughty boy! Why do you tear up so much paper? Did vou not know that it is made from the thing you dearly love o see? “Paper is made from clusters of flax liks Iarmer White has down in his feld. . “Didn’t you tease the life out of papa to have him take you down just for that?” “Boo hoo! 1 am ver-ry sor-ry T tore up.the paper. 1 wouldn't did it if I known that. Oh, please excuse me,” said Willie, nearly heart-broken. will excuse you this time, my son, but if you tear up paper again I will know that you do not love the flax or any kind of grain.” ‘And Willie never tore up paper after that.—Ruth B.

We went in bathing and had our pictures taken in the water. W had a fine time, and a nice dinner. The next day we took the steam cars for New London. We stayed there a while to see the boats, bought some ics cream and postcards. 3 As the Norwich trolley came in we got aboard and came back to Norwich, faking the Norwich and Westerly troi- ley home.

Q—Does God give orders for the weather every day? Answer.—No; nor does He every day order the stars in their cour: or the earthquakes, famines and pestilences. At the present time, because of sin, the entire course of nature is permitted to be out of joint, so far as the earth is concerned, Our weather is not ideal at all times; God knows this and per- mits it as a part of the penalty of death upon Adam’s race. Present con- ditions are not what God would haves provided for Adam and his posterity had sin not entered into the wortd. ¥Extiemes of heat and cold, floods and droughts, death dealing. tornadoes and cyclones are the world’s portion as criminals under death sentence:, they are parts of the course. Christians are not exempted from these, but are re- quired to walk by faith, sharing, the world’s experiences; Y by.this faith and the holy Spirit to recognize them- selves as “sons of (God without re- buke” (Phillippians i, 15), learning through all life's experiences lessons which will fit them for their future work of glory with Christ in His l\fi!- lennial Kingdom. God’s promise is that then there shall be no more curse —no more dying, no more crying. lrf— stead, the time will come for the resti- tution of man and his earthly home to the perfection of grandeur of the Edenic condition (Acts iif, 19-21.)
