Confession is net only good for the soul, but many a man has seen in it better future prospects. Some people change thelr habits not so much from conviction as from anticipated pros- Pects of getting another opportunity, It is interesting to read what Will- iem Allen White has to say to the people of Kansas from the bull moose standpoint. He said: “Under the old plan of campaigning, the big concerns that get the benefit of tariff and other legislation used to be asked to contribute to campaign funds. They got their money backd with 30 per cent. interest in high tar- iffs and unjust rates of various kinds, legalized by those whose campaign ex- penses they paid. This was wrong— dead wrong. But we were all to blame Ihe-Cireniation of The Bulletin, The Bulletin has the largest eir- calation of amy paper in Easters Conmeeticut, and from three to four times larger tham that of amy ia Norwich.

Be- fore he spoke at Chicago he saw that the expectations of the people with references to his forthcoming speech were worked up to a point to meet his great disclosures, but when the ad- dress was made, as the Portland Ex- press remarks, it was as tame as the praver of a Presbyterian deacon. Mr. Roosevelt has a way of touching the people, class by class, which would do credit to a confidlence man. He carefully estimates the value of excit- ng the hopes and tickling the fancy the people, and his skill is not to e denied. There is no class that he does not promise to make better times for, and when it comes to labor the tentacles of his eloquence reach out with inviting force even to the organization known as the Industrial Workers of the World. It was a good speech, viewed from a political standpoint, but it was not all cast upon & high and hopeful key, for he said, among other things, in forecasting the future of his party to his hearers, it matters not “whatever fate y at the moment overtake any of us. Though ardent for success he warned them thus that they must be reconciled to defeat. There is one purpose dear to the art of Theodore Roosevelt as being again elected and that is to defeat T m and the republican party, if pos- e, This would show his power and makn him the only political possibility in 1916, when he may easily win the presidency as the result of the demo- cratic policy and consequent hard times. He evidently coumts that there is something in it for him whichever way t turn: nd in this he m: be right. WILSON'S SPEECH OF AC- CEPTANCE. Woodrow Wiison of New Jer- d the democratic nomi- in a way which excites favora- ble comment. There was no mean spirit displayed in any part of it. He did not think it was necessary to re- tort to the “we: " imputations cast upon the platform of his party, but proceeded in a calm and confident manner to review the present political situation of the country from a demo- cratie standpoint. He could have been more specific without danger of be- ing irritating. He did not appear to have been flattered by the fact that the third party candidate alluded to him as the only candidate to be feared. He wasted no words upon the cham- pion for bossless parties, and the slinger of inuendoes. Candidate Wil- son deoubtless values highly quiet and dignified methods and he leaves no doubt that he intends for his part to lead in a clean campalgn. He doesn't #ay he is expecting any one te call him a socialist or an anarchist, but eaves them to assail or criticise him and his policies as they please. So far as his scholarship and ability are concerned, he commands the re- spect of the country, if the policies of his party are in ill favor. He opened the campaign well and leaves no doubt that he is a man capa- ble of being chief executive of the nation, whether he I8 ever favored with the highest honor in the gift of the people or not. The black and white contesting del- egations from the south were not ad- mitted to the convention. The Colonel is autecratic when in power and dem- ocratic when he is striving for su- premacy. ay GOV. sey 1tion has accey Chicago promises of majorities from states for the bull moose candidate three months before the election are fictitious statements put out to at- tract those who like to be with the majority. Dr. Wiley has never charged Presi- dent Taft with handicapping his work. President Roasevelt and Secretary Wilson were prime movers against the pure-food law. 1 was just as bad as the next fellow, and the next fellow was just as bad as I was. But we've got to quit. We've got to take charge of this government ourselves—you and I and the folks. For the man who pays the campaign expenses owns the government. We propose to carry Kansas for Roosevelt at the primary and at the polls by sub- scriptions from the folks. We don't need large subscriptions. But we do need lots of them. We don't want the big fellows. -But we do want the fel- low who has a dollar, or five, or possi- bly temn, to feel that this movement is his movement.” As a means of getting contributions from the people this is novel, for Mr. White tells them If they put down their money they own the government, which is not true in any sense. The trusts financed the Colonel's primary campaign to the extent of over a mil- lion; and the Kansas City Journal tells its readers that Governor Stubbs and this man White are able to finance the Roosevelt campaign in that state and hardly feel the cost. Does labor think that Stubbs and White and Per- kins and Munsey and duPont are backing Roosevelt to make times bet- ter for labor and worse for them- selves? Is that the way of capital- ists? Nobedy owns the government; but the men of millions have and will to the extent of their interests lnflll- ence it The man who puts a dollar in the campaign may do it as homestly and sincerely as he would put it in the charity box at a church door, but the pretence that it buys anything for him is a falge pretence, and it is strange the people of small means do not see it. THE NEW THINGS PROPOSED. The bull moose platform Has a few new propositions in it, but the larger part of its progressiveness belongs to the republican party, which has advo- cated either statewise or nationally for the strengthening of the Sherman act; that the currency law needs revision | and improvement; that the presiden- tial primary system should be univer- sal; that woman or equal suffrage is just; that Alaska should be developed; that our merchant marine should be | revived; that our foreign trade should be extended; that the army and navy sHould be kept up to the highest effi ciency; that trusts should be regu- Jated by law; and that reforestation should be promoted, irrigation sup- ported and waterways to the sea be maultiplied. ‘The new propositions are the rec: 111 of judges and decisions; the e changing of the constitution; old age pensions; minimum wage board, ete.; and when this is viewed as the foun- dation for a new party by itself it does not seem to warrant it, or to be espe- clally inviting. The assumption that all parties are too corrupt to be trusted by the peo- | ple is far from true. The repuhhmn) party is the same party which kept | Rooseveit in its service for over quar- | ter of a century and extended to him the highest honors in its gift. He does not claim he made the party; but this is about the only exception we notice in his claims, The country has had seven years of Roosevelt, and viewed in their com- pleteness they were not in administra- tive results superior to the adminis- tration of his successor. If there was one thing he was dis- inclined to touch it was the tariff, and this is one of his declarations: “No change in tariff duties can have any substantial effect in solving the ! so-called trust problem. Certain great trusts or great corporations are wholly unaffected by the tariff. A COMPARISON OF VIRTUE. How much Mr. Roosevelt will at- tempt to make votes upon the claim that he was robbed of the republican nomination no one can Imagine. There is no proof whatever that he was used any different from any mi nority candidate that has run for the office in the past quarter of a century. A non-partisan opinion of the des- erts of both factions may be better than a partisan opinion. Mr. LaFolette’s partner says Mr. Roosevelt’s aver- ments of fraud are all refuted by the records of the convention which show if all doubtful cases had been allowed | him he could not have won out. Look- ing at the situation as one on the out- side, Mr. Roe says: “At the worst, the national conven- tion seated less than fifty Taft dele- gates on insufficient evidence. Those in charge of the Roosevelt campaign tried to seat more than one hundred | and fifty delegates without any evi- dence at all.” EDITORIAL NOTES. 1t the Colonel is really battling for the Lord there is no necessity for his hedging s If the Maine coast mine, it is a pla are made every is not where year. a gold thousands South Carolina was not represented in the bull moose convention; Nebras- ka was represented illegally. Many a man who never afraid in the dark has become a politician who was afraid of the light.

Andrews laughed aloud over the foolishness shown by women in being slaves to fashlon, but he would never venture out with a straw hat before the proper .moment, evem though he sweltered for weeks. “Well,” his wife sighed, “I'm glad of it, for that old hat looks too shabby to wear any more. All I ask is that you don't get the latest fad in straw because the latest is never becoming to you.” ? “Oh, T'll get a good one, all right,” he assured her cheerfully. “A conser- vative model, but one with some dash just the same.” So he did. He was leaving for a business trip and bought the new hat on his way to the train, so as to have an up to date look when he met the man with whom he was to transact business. In the early afternoon a young boy delivered a large round box at the Andrews home. “Maybe somebody’s sent us a pres- ent,” Lucy Andrews cried in pleasant anticipation, “It couldn’t be flowers, could it?” Her brother broke the cord, opened the box, and so displayed to view An- drews’ old derbv. “Isn't that just like a man!” ex- claimed Mrs. Andrews. “The idea of sending home that old hat! It comes | in handy for me, though, because I| wanted to have Dan carry out some | boxes from the cellar, and I'll give him this hat as a reward.” Dan was the furnace man. He was pleased with what he termed a “swell 1id” and was profuse in his thanks.” “T'll wear it to a christening Thurs- day week,” he said. “An won't I be| the swell guy, though! “ That night cold rain came down in torrents and Mrs. Andrews did not sleep well because of a new worry that troubled he retting up to look after the windows, she roused Lucy, to whom she expressed her WorTy. “Your father'll be home tomorrow morning,” she said, “and I'm perfectly sure the first thing he’ll ask for is that derby hat. If it's raining like this he just can't wear his new strat hat to the office. It would look absurd.” “Oh, never mind, mother,” Lucy said con; ngly. “You can’t tell what the weather's going to be. Maybe it'll be hotter'n anything by tomorrow morn- n't. Further, Andrews had barely kissed his wife and daugh- ter before he asked for his old hat. SHORT STORY. “Hat?” his_wife _asked vaguely. “What hat? I thought you wore your hat out of the store when you baught I did wear my straw hat. I mean the derby. It beats all how unaccom- modating some stores are. The man promised faithfully to have that derby up here yesterday afternoon, yet he doesn’t seem to have meant a word he said. Lucy, if you don't eat so rapidly you won't choke.” Lucy sat on the window seat in the dining room for two hours that morn< ing, watching for Dan, supported by the excitement of it and by joy of staying at home from school. When Dan finally arrived she summoned her mother with a joyous shout. “Pm sorry, Dan,” Mrs. Andrews awkwardly, “but I didn't understand that Mr. Andrews wanted that hat. If you don’t mind Tl be very glad if you will bring it back today. “Tll bring it if T can, ma'am,” he said grumpily. “But I loaned itjto a | friend of mine to wear to a dance to- | night, and I've got to hunt him up.

A calf’s liver costs from 50 to 73 cents in these times; and many read- ers remember a time when the livers were given away. The pretence that the platform of the new party will be a contract with the people is too thin to be accepted by rational citizens. When Roosevelt found he could not get southern democrat for second he took Johmson of California for a running mate. The cigarette has led the way to the cigar for English smoking women, and this means in the end they will settle down to the pipe. The political platform heretofore which promised everything has proven to be worth nothing. Do not get caught with worthless bait. The bull moose party show that they understand the psychological effect of claiming everything. That isn't polit- ical progress but political art. The devil may be in politics, but Mr. Roosevelt did not object to him so long as he worked for his advance- ment and the advancement of those he favored. Experts estimate that recent rains have been worth eight or ten millions England. That which promotes thrift still comes down from the heavens. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. lsn't It Fierce?
