When the second session of the Sixty-second congress convened at noon Monday, every Connecticut mem- ber was In his seat with the exception of Congressman Henry, who was de- tained because of a recent death in his family. While it is admitted on all sides, writes The Bulletin’s Washington correspondent, that the tariff ques- tion will be the principal business of the session, it is by no means certain that & general tariff bill can be passed. It is the opinion of Representative Hill that the tariff board will report its findings without recommendation, but that no general tariff legislation can be agreed upon. ‘That the bill to establish an inter- state trade commission will take up & good deal of the time of the senate is the opinion of Senator Brandegee, although opinions differ as to the pos- sibility of the passage of any of the proposed bills, Senator Brandegee is also interested in a question that must ®e disposed of at this session, that of fixing the tolls on the Panama canal. As chairman of the senate committee om interoceanic canals he will have the question before the committee at an, early date. He is of the opinion that the opening of the canal will be of great benefit to the manufacturers of Cennecticut, as it will open to them the markets of the Pacific coast and those of the western coasts of South America. It is also expected that the opening of the canal will revive the ship building industry in the state, Another matter that is of import- ance to the manufacturing interests of the state, and the entire country, for that matter, is a bill that Repre- senative Hill will introduce early in the session to change the date upon which corporations must make returns under the corporation tax law. The law as it now stands reguires that on the first day of March, in each year, the president, or other high official of each corporation, shall make returns under oath of the business done by his company during the year previous, to the collector of internal revenues for the district in which the concern is located. Many complaints have been made by the manufacturing corpora- tions in Connecticut to the d(»leg'vtlnn in congress that this date venient, as it does not « Week ending Decomber 2.... is the date upon which their business vear ins Mr. Hill has spent considerable time looking into the matter. He has con- sulted officials at the White house, the and the commissioner of in- s revenue, and is satisfied that the date can be changed, so as to per- mit returns to be made on the first day of either the month of January, April, July or Octdber, It will add considerable to the cost of collection by the government,” M Hill, “but in my opinion better to slightly increase the of collection to the government lha( receives the tax money, than to in- convenience so many business con- cerns that have to pay it. Of course, it will be necessary for corporations to select one of the dates for the be- ginning of their business vear, and to continue to use that date thereafter.” The Toledo Blade wants to know: “What has become of the old-fash- ioned father who used to punish his boy by making him turn the grind- stone for an hour and a half?” No doubt he can be found somewhere in New England it There are a quarter of a million gallons of liquor ripening in govern- ment warehouses. Enough, says a contemporary, to send a billion im- bibers home in a cah. An Illitois man is threa'tening to send a 58-pound turkey to the White house for Christmas.

No one can deny that it is passing strange that great leaders of organ- ized labor have been ignorant of a criminal conspiracy no more defensi- ble than the Black Hand, covering fifteen states in the past flve years and damaging property to the extent of millions of dJdollars. It would be criminal to accuse Sam- uel Gompers or John Mitchell of hav- ing a gullty knowledge of these crimes without absolute proof. Detective Burns openly charges that President Gompers knew all along that the Mc- Namaras were guilty; but Mr. Gom- pers says he implicitly believed in their innocence and was astounded by the revelations. John Mitchell’s comment upon the revelation of the truth were far from being what his admirers expected to hear from him. According to the despatches, he still believed the Los Angeles Times was blown up by gas, doubted that dyna- mite was the cause, could not imagine how they came to confess, and be- lieved the McNamaras would have been cleared; but these averments de not show that he had a gulity knowl- edge of the crime. James McNamara says they were {sent to do the job, and it is up ta | the government to take the matter up and discover if possible who sent them to commit such crimes. News comes from the west that something may be expected from the probe of the grand jury of the United States circuit court soon in session at Indianapoiis. District Attorney Miller, who has charge of the investigation, will undoubtedly make it thorough and the findings conclusive. Ths conspirators who planned and put in force this campaign of crime {and destruction shouid be found and | made to answer for it. Gompers and Mitchell could not give better evi- !dence of gecd citizenship and good {faith than by assisting the officials | to make an end of the foul scheme |and the schemers. IN FIGHTING MOOD. Dr. Frederick Cook is himself again and is promising to proceed at law against the New York Times for libel, claiming damages for $100,000, because of certain articles and head-lines printed in The Times; and he pur- poses to prove that he has been the vietim of a conspiracy unparalleled in exploration. He incidentally hopes in this legal tussle, it is said, to show beyond doubt that he reached the North pole, if he did not get the honors. The warld admires grit wherever it displays fitself, and is particularly fond of sensations, hence the doctor is quite sure to have a large and inter- ested crowd following him in what promises to be an historical as well as sensational battle, should he press his suit, The doctor talks all right—he al- ways has. He avers this Issue is not for filthy lucre but for a vindication which 1s his due. As issues go in this world, in the presence of the doctor’s past,.it does not look as if he could wrest from the courts anything which will improve his past record or cheer his future. THE MAINE WOODS IN WINTER. The Portland Express, in an editor- ial upon “The lure of the forest, the lake and the stream,” speaks of the open sporting camps, which do not close from October to April. It says “The modern camp is far from being a ‘shack.’ Contrary to popular opinion, most of them are warm and cosy, and with roaring camp fires and congenial companions, they have attractions that are so radically different from those the city dweller knows, it is small wonder applications for accommodations are already begin- ninz to pour in. “The snow laden woods present beauties in winter that they do mot possess even when they are in the glory of the brilliant autumn foliage. Snow-shoeing can there be enjoved at its best. through the ice at There is excellent fishing many of the Maine lakes, although some of them are closed ‘o fishing in winter by special acts of the legislature.

Gpen sport has its pleasures even in the coldest months; and the tonic of the woods is good for men when the snow is deep and the frost pene- trating.

The Baltimore American call at- tention to the fact that “Labor has now a great opportunit to make a good, a noble, use of t e sum of money by giving it t e families of those who were killed by the de- struction of the Los Ang Times building. The American sugge: that the fund be promptly set apart for this purpose.” Tt would thus be made, in truth, & defense fund one that would protect the families of the dy- namite victims from suffering and want. “Twenty-one people. lost lives in that disaster, a ne 1 of them were heads of famili While the immediate wants of those left to Sufle and to struggle with the world vere relleved by General Otis and other generous citi of Los An- geles, yet many of these families are stil! in need, and this fund wo prove a godsend to them. “It would be a mnoble fund. and would prove to union labor felt for those frcm the dastardly de thy, cowardly members. gestion now made by The s in the interest of justice, of charity, and will no doubt meet with Learty indorsement from all parts of the country.

We went to school together and when we were youns men we were inseparable, and we'll bave somuch to talk about that we’ll hate to quit long enough to eat our victuals. It's twenty years since we sa weach other.” “And when he’s visited you a few days you'll hope you won't see him again for forty years,” remarked the hotelkeeper. “I know just how It is and I have a good deal of sympathy for you, although you think you don't need it. There Is no greater affliction than to have a friend of your boyhood come to see you. “A couple of years ago Andrew Tol- liver wrote me from a ranch some- where up in Dakota that he would be passing this way on a trip east and he would stop off and visit me be- tween trains. I was Jjust chump enough to write him a letter, with a special delivery stamp on it, urging him to arrange his affairs so he could stay here at least ten days. “I felt just as you do about that man Rectangle. There were so many things to talk about that we wouldn't be able to make a good start in less than a week. Tollver was my boy- hcod friend and I expected to marry his sister, but she eloped with a sew- ing machine agent. “Well, finally he came, with three or four trunks full of Indian relics which he had been collecting for a quarter of a century. He wasn't a bit like the boy I used to know. He was all covered with whiskers and there wasn't any fun In him. He seemed to have forgotten all the in- teresting things that happened when we were kids. When I'd try to re- mind him of some ancient history he’d yawn and say it had slipped his memory, and then he’d begin talking about his doggone Indian relics, and keep on talking until it was time to go to bed. Nothing interested him but those relics, and he was always chas- ing around the hotel exhibiting some headed moccasins or stone tomahawks or some other junk, and several of my best me I'd have to sidetrack that old freak, with his relics, or they’'d go to the other hotel. “This thing went on for ten days, and then Tolliver said that he had concluded to stay another week or two he was enjoying his visit so much. I suspended the rules of hospitality right there and told him that hed have to hunt another boarding house if he stayed in this town. If he didn’t have his junk packed up in an hour, I said, I'd instruct the porter to fire it | into the alley. “Old friends are always false alarms although it isn't their fault. You haven't seen your friend Rectangle in twenty years ,you say. Well, you remember him as he was then. You llked him in those days, but you were twenty years younger then, and you've changed a lot since. When Rectangle comes to town youll be disappointed He'll seem great deal older and you have an idea that the people you knew twenty years ago haven't aged any. “Rectangle, I suppose, has married since you knew him, and he'll want to tell you what a wonderful wo- man his wife is and what fine girls and boys his doggone sons and daughters are, and he’ll want to tell you about his wife’s sister Amelia The first thing you know you'll be patrons came to me and told | | yawning and wishing your friend Rec- | tengle would lose his footing and off the earth. “I'm always glad to see a friend of two or three years’ standing, tor 4 man doesn’t change much in that tim and you know what to expect of m.m but when a back number friend of half a century ago threatens to visit me I telegraph him that I am dying and_ can't entertain visitors.”—Chica- g0 News. fall ifornia who will soon cast their first | vote is one born 101 years 2go.

Bible Question Box Your Bible questions will be swered in these columns or by mail if sent to our Bible Question Box Editor. Q.—The Bible frequently refers to the “four corners of the earth.” Does this support the theory that the earth is square and flat? (E. V. D.) Answer.—Much of the Scriptur: written in language that should be con sidered in the accommodated sense. The expression “four corners” should be considered as meaning the four quarters of the earth, just as we use the expression today as signifying the four cardinal points of the compas: When it is.said in the Scriptures ti the sun rises, let no one suppose that the inspired writers @did not know what they were writing about, for the evi- dence is clear and strong that the an- clients knew as much, if not more, than the peoples of today, about astronomy. As the youth, who has acquired smattering of knowledge, thiris that he knows more than his father, so many today think that modern know- ledge and information is awa vance of that possessed by cients.
