COMMISSIONER MACDONALD'S ILLNESS. I'he eastern Connecticut friends and .cquaintances of State Highway Com- mssibner Jumes H. MacDonald regret earn f his. physical affliction, which doubtless is the result of over- rk and the persistent friction over nnecticut’s - good roads. Ir. MacDonald is properly alluded \s the father of the Connecticut £o0 Is system, which was inaug- irated fifteen years ago for purs pose of facilitating travel and com- e between owns and cities 1 the object lesson system which soon made this state a eader in this enterprising work of modern times was required for im- parting the knowledge necessary to make the work popular, thorough and ermanent ough the commission- er's enemies speak derisively of “the atchwork system” as an evidence of nefficien nstead of tact and skill. The enemies of commissioner are the political grafters in all the owns ke has ut of positions in which the ild ate; hotel- keepers who make $75,000 a on nters affic, which the com- ssione eves should be taxed ghten burden on the people; the automobilis 0 are running igh-power cars over the roads at a gre speed than locomotive engines are run on steel rails on granite bal- asted roadbeds, who make the roads ty and find them so; the political sters, who use the appropriations specifically for state roads on roads to win local favor and pretend it is the commissioner is the cause of the delay, anney- him sometimes for years, and the politicians and other men who feel their opinions should be heeded, All together they present a rather formid- able front and make a very loud nolse. In fifteen vears the commissioner has handled $10,000,000 of the state's money, accounted for every penny, and the charge against him is too g economy on the financial and cecutive end of the work. While Mr. MacDonald is recognized nationally and internationally as a road builder and public speaker, we ften hear ordinary citizens ecritics- ng him as inefficient. This is the vay of the world toward public men £ every sort.

The revelations of the grafting sys- em as brought out by the confessions resulting from the Rosenthal murder has brought out one defence from the olice which must be recognized ev- erywhera as valid “When the police is sustained by the ourts,” said one of the police officials, 1t can do better work” and it is probable that this system of graft runs Into the very halls of justice. In most of the cities of America the claim is repeatedly made by the police that they have no dependable support from the moral part of the community, The man who knows his town knows the methods of vice and ass s of virtue.

Because they know police officers have been more severely punished for doing their duty than for neglecting to do it, or for violating e rules. The moral force doesn't know this because it Isn't in touch with the real life of its town or city. Vice knows that virtue is half-asleep and loves peace better than contention, What the police need everywhere is the moral support of the best citizens; and moral support means doing more and talking less Candidate Wilson is going to show the farmer has been abused by the tariff; but he will say nothing about the Cleveland times when it took 2,000 bushels of corn to buy a harvesting machine; while now he can buy with the same amount of corn an automo- bile, a harvesting machine, and have a surplus left to pay his taxes or put in the bank.

Holder Hudgins, who has the abil- ity to get a grip upon the beef trust and to fix the time when their con- spiracy against the eastern stock rais. er was consummated, says: “The real sin of the beef trust was committed thirty years ago, when, to overcome prejudice against ‘Chicago beef” in the eastern markets, the west- the Atlantic states who bought up, at prices which the farmers could not resist, the visible supply of beef cat- tle, as well as sheep, thus destroying the sources of supply of these food animals except such as came from the western ranges via Chicago. “The result is that today our pro- duction of beef is insufficient for ac- customed requirements, because the eastern supply has never been replen- ished and the western ranges are less- ening in area as the land is placed under cultivation, while, coincidentally, the population of the country is in- creasing. That accounts for the rela- tively high price of beef today.” The work is still going on, the price of forage and fodder crops being so high that milch cows are decreasing by the thousand in New England each | ¥ nd the price of milk, which it is | predicted will reach 10 or 12 cents'this fail, it is thought may eventually ach even a higher price unless something is done to make the keep- ing of domestic cattle profitable in New England. The agricultural department is do- ing what it can to overcome present conditions by contributing useful knowledge on the art of fattening food anim and has experimental stations speclally equipped for the purpose, When the speculators who conspire to make grain and corn dear in the sast when the crops are so abundant in the west that they have to be used are dislodged and knocked out usiness, the prospects will be bet- for all New England. THE ROOSEVELT WAY. Senator LaFollette is never anything if he is not forceful and he has re- pute as a keen observer as well as a dependable servant of the people whenever and wherever he has been given a public trust or had public con- fidence placed in him. Although LaFolletta is supporting Wilson, it will be interesting to re- publicans to read b criticism of Roosevelt as a politiclan from his studies of him made at close range. LaFollette sa) “How do you stand 7" is Rooseveit's sole test of ations for a progressive. “What would become of the progres- sive movement under such leadership? And yet, it is exactly the plan Roose- velt pursued when president, It is the Roosevelt way. He supported Lodge for United States senator two year: Penrose for United States senator four years ago. He has always playeqd this kind of a political game, “It is characteristic Roosevelt, that, while he seizes upon issues that make good propaganda and gives them publiefty, he has not the patlence ner ago, and of stability nor depth of convictlon to prevent his sacrificing essentlal prin- ciples and permanent results to per- sonal considerations and' tempeorary advantage. It was this that made his administration as president, although 4 time of reform agitation, barren of constructive legislation, and a peried for growth of evils that might have been avelded under wiser leadership,” THE TYPICAL BULL MOOSE, When Mr, Roosevelt's p called the bull mooese party it was se new and strange & name that it was thought to have had its origin in re- publican derision, but the was finally disciosed that the Colonel lected the sobriquet and rather enjoys (A Many definitions have been given the title, but at last the real one has been unearthed in “The Wilderness Hunt- er,” a book written by Mr. Roos in his breezy and enter and following is his description of this big brute of the wilds: Another noticeable characteristic of the bull moose is his inordinate and unchangeable selfishness.

Now that progressiveness and plu- tocracy are allied, the lion and the lamb may be found Iving peacefully together, but it takes more than a THE MAN WHO TALKS | It is better to live in a state of ex- pectancy than in a state of despair; but the habit of thinking of the good time coming is nothing, compared to recognizing the good time now. Too many people interest themselves in the joys of heaven to the neglect of the joys of earth, which they hold as being vain. I think joy now beats joy deferred to death. There is nothing keeps the heart merry, or holds the soul aloof from trouble, like golden- rule living. Joy is not the fruit of compliments; and its roots have never yet been found feeding on a fat bank account. It is one of the things men cannot buy or gamble for. It is such a good thing it has many counterfeits, but the real thing is unmistakable. It ig ours in proportion tribute to the joy of othe real thing cannot be obtained in any other way. The divine decree is: “The more of good thou puttest into life the more of good thou shall take out of it!” Seme people put noth- ing into the bank of the soul and in moments of dire necessity awake to find they have no resources to draw upon. Did you ever think some mortal has you written down in his book of life as doomed because you do not do or belleve as he does? I used to do a little such bookkeeping myself, but I me to see flnally that “All men are brethren,” “God is a loving father,” “Know the truth and the truth shall make you free” “Judge not lest ye be judged” and such things looked better in it. Then I felt ashamed of the blacklist, for I came to think I might possibly be blacker than any of ‘em, and wiped it out. I expect the brethren who do not see things as I do ang do not caper as I do, may reach a place of peace and pleasure while I possibly may fail to. When we recog- nize the truth, the truth makes us conscious of a larger freedom than we ever knew before. What we accept helps —what we know 8 us! Belief is only the door to knowledge: and some folks linger during all their mortal lives in the doorway and never enter and sit down with Truth and find peace. “Seek and we shall find,” is precious advice. It is to a surprise to a man when he learns at the store that his account is too large and there is no more credit. When that open door is slam- med shut in a man’s face it makes him think; and if it es him think right it is a good thi but he often blames the dealer instead of himself, and lets a lot of skunk thoughts get into his bosom to be nestled. When credit has come to an end it is time to sit down with prudence and think the situation over. What ended your credit? Why does the dealer refuse to trust you another cent? Your head looks clear under water to him, of course, and he sees no hope or promise in your case. What sunk you out of sight to him? Too much extravagance, or neglect to | pass him a dollar when he knew you were able to? A debt that can't be wiped out at once can be reduced by littles, A willingness to get into debt to any amount never yet improved a man's credit, The only man who can do that with Impunity is the man with collateral and when he has gone the limit the sheriff gets him. To keep credit good you must be able to pay and have a reputation for squaring up. No one has good money for a man who doesn’t pay, Do yeu know thers are people who are annoyed by misspelled words and ungrammatical expressions and mis- pronunciations, when the cerrect way which they were taught is net the only correst way, but they have never heard the other eerrect way; in fact they do net believe thers is any, Do not think these critics always do things accurately, because they do net, They have just eultivated this exaet- ing spirit toward athers, and others are made very uneomfertable by it, and form wu very errenesus opinien ef the ability of erring lambs.

The first calls cuckoo, while the other “tuts, chucks and coos” in a way that makes it dis- tinguishable. The American cucko does mot lay its eggs in other bird's nests, as does the foreign variety. It bullds a loose nest of twigs and in- stead of hatching its eges in clutches hatches them one by one, so that the fledglings leave the nest one by one at intervals.

More people worry themselves into the physiclan's hands than get there from any other cause. Sir Walter was a living witness to the truth of his statement. Handieapped as he was by lameness and comparative poverty, he yet made himself the friend and welcome companion of all the surrounding countryside, and when he left for his elegant residence at Abbotsford, he was attended by a sorrowing crowd of friends and neigh- bors. Through all his books there runs the thread of contentment and peaceful repose. Warlike and savage, indeed, are some of his plots and the characters described in them but those have lingured in the memory of most of his readers, are the peaceful heroes and heroines, contented to live the lives assigned to them, and happy_In striving to make othes happy. We all know the heroism of his later life when his business reverses and .rigid standard of honesty and honor led him to exertions which made him the admiration of the world, and until al- most the end of his life, his peace and contentment remained with him. 1 was reminded of this not long since in reading an account. written by a traveller in the Philippines. He was desirous of reaching Manila at a cer- tain time to keep an jmportant en- gagement, but through no fault of his own, lost the steamer which would have carried him over the one hundred miles which lay between the island on which he was placed and Manilla. No other steamer could be counted on at that port for a week. Before that time he was due in Manila. Some other means of reaching that city must be devised, or his pledge be broken. A native fishing craft was the only conveyance available, and to this he intrusted himself, hoping to cross the path of some steamer, which would take him to the haven where he would be. The najive craft proved to be quite unseaworthy, its saile were g0 tattered as to be of little service, the accommodations, or rather the lack of them, made him very uncomfortable, wind failed them, and the crew were obliged to resort to the oars as the only means of progress. Matters seemed to have reached their lowest point, and as night came on, the pros- pect of reaching Manila appeared a forlorn hope. Our traveller says he summoned his philosopky to his aid and followed a e, splcewood foliage, and its occasional discovery on other plants whows it to be fancy free and quite a roamer, It has a deep blue enamelled sheen which warrants the calling of it “a blue- winged beauty,” I imagine it winters beneath the copings near the vine and is ready to court its favor each year when it emerges from the chrysa- 3 The goldfinches in their faded clothes have come back to the garden to feast on the sunflower seeds, as T knew they would, for they remember where feed Is plenty and they are free from disturbance.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK ROUGH DIAMONDS. Barly and late I have known a good many of them; not the kind that they pick out of the soil of the Transvaal, but the kind that live in the next block, and sit beside you on the morning train to town, and {belong to the same golf club. The diamonds in question are human be- ings and not stones. To that one is a “rough dia- mond is to declare kind and genuine at heart. It is also to infer that he is not nearly as attractive s he would be if his rough exterior could be trimmed and polished. The | edges of “rough diamonds” are need- lessly sharp and their beauty Is only dull and undeveloped. The rough diamond will jab vou with careless words and vex you with tactless treatrient even when you know. he means well. You must put {up with a lot of boorish conduct because you value him for what you | know him to be underneath it all. It may take persistent grinding to change an honest but blundering boor into a delightful friend and compan- jon.

Manners as Tennyson said, “are not idle, but the fru of lo; noble mind.” Far from being a mark of weakness they are the sign strength and distinction. The late distinguished American artist, Mr. Ab- bey, related how when he was engag- ed in painting his most important historical canvas, “The Coronation of Edward VII” which required sittings from more than 100 distinguished per- sonsages, the most considerate and and Queen Alexandra them- It is strange that young men do Contentment and Philosophy I nature and of | of | onable of them all were King Kd- | e e rule long since established in his habit of life. “When things are at their worst, and nothing can be done to better them,” he states, “I have al- ways found the best thing to do is te go to sleep.” Accordingly he went to sleep instead of lying awake, as so many would have done under similar conditions, to fret himself into a fever over his hard luck. Awaking in the night he found all the crew asleep, and the boat slowly drifting backward toward the point where they embark- ed. 2 Truly a trying experience and to be followed by many others equally so be- fore he reached Manila, in time for his appointment, but having compassed over 800 miles in order to cover the 100 which would have been necessary had the voyage been made as intend- ed. Very few of us, I am sure, are ca- pable of attaining this high standard of philosophy, but all of us can strive for it, and in so doing we shall live more happily ourselves and add to the happiness of those about us. Things are seldom so bad that we cannot find | something to be thankful for, if we ook for it. We are told that we gen- erally find what we search for in life, and when a piece of bad news is told us, there is usually something con- nected with it over which we can say, “I am thankful,” instead of exclaiming, | “How dreadful!” !

Mr. Rditor: I wish to say for the information of the public that the swing on the Lake street playground was improperly put up, and because of ite unskilful arrangement the Mo- ran boy fractured his ankle. The Swing-rope itself was strong enough to hold an ox, but where it passed the iron rings the ends were tied to- gether with twine too light to stand the strain: and it gave way with this unfortunate result. It had been noticed, and the danger had been pointeq out to those in charge, but this heavy rope was never made se- cure. Mr. Moran says the accident | was due to negligence, and has the support of several who saw the swing rope and regarded it as dangerous beéfore the accident happened. If the rope had been properly made fast no accident would have happened.
