In his latest message President Taft Tefers to the great mistake which was made by the last congress in provid- ing for but one battleship, and the need to make u the action by making appropriations for three as this session, believing that it is necessary &¢ our mavy is to be maintained as an dnsurance of peace. Our navy, through the extra efforts made by forefgn pow- ors, {8 threatened with becoming foufth in classification unless the plan of at least two battleships a year Is carried out. It was only five years ago that we ranked mext to the British navy, but we have slipped from that posi- tiom through our inactivity and through the aectivity of Germany, and are but y slightly ahead of France, hich 1is steadily improving her position. @reat strides are being made by the British and German empires because of a feeling of distructfulness of each other and it s a pace in navy build- ing unprecedented. The British em- pire through the dependencies will roll up & big addition to the fleet, Canada at present anticipating the gift of three dreadnoughts while Indla con- templates about the same, Australla and others giving one or,more. Be- cause of our position as a world power our possessions which need protection and the responsibilities which we as- sume, it is necessary to have a suffi- clent navy to back our stand and up- Bold our influence. It nly can- 1ot be done by decreasing our naval strength, dropping back from a first 10 a second class power and ra fourth instead of third. for ENCOURAGING NEW BUSINESS. It is always an inspiration to wit- ness the encouraging of new business and in no Instance is this being done on a larger scale than by the rail- roads throughout the west. There the broad expanse of fertile land awaits cultivation. It is well split up by rail- roads, but it needs the presence and attention of the farmers. This has long been the aim of J. J. Hill of the Great Northern, but he and his road are not alone in the extensive work. Of the total of 249,992 miles of road operated in 1910 in this country, ex- clusive of Alaska and the inland pos- sessjons, 191,448 miles or 76.6 per cent. were operated by companies making organized efforts to increase the num- ber of farmers or promote agricultural education. Of the total land area of the country 89.2 per cent. is in coun- ties penetrated by railroads doing this work. This is, of course, a process of development, pri the rail- roads but also for the nation. It is the business of handling the product of the farms, which the encouragement will result the railroads are after. It is a proper ambition and its worth is recognized by the roads of the east, where manufacturing instead of farming is being encouraged. De- partments are maintained for the ben- efit of the business seeking a location, and a locality seeking a business and Norwich knows the value of such ser- vices. All parties interested are the gainers by the laudable method of in- creasing business. ONE CENT POSTAGE.

What 1s to become of the cotton | factories of this country is an'inter- esting question which faces those in- terested in the industrial problems, especlally when consideration is given to the fact that Leader Underwood of the democratic forces says, “wl are going to revise the tariff from agate to zinc” which from a democratic standpoint must mean a Tevision down- ward, at least, whether it reaches free trade or not. This country is the greatest pro- ducer of cotton in the world supply- ing seventy per cgnt. of the total amount of raw cotton for mill con- sumption. About two-thirds of this production of the United States is ex- ported to Ruropean countries, from wh we in turn import a large amount of cotton manufacturers, most- ly of the higher grades. We rank third among the world's great import- of cotton goods, though ralsing the w material which is sent.aiToad to be bought back again. As exporters of cotton: goods we are making steady progress, but are far behind certain industrial countries of Europe which continue to find this country a rich market. OCotton mills here are today showing a decline in profits, even though prosperity is being enjoved throughout the country. wages are being demanded in e face of the threatened tariff re- vision, < condition which is likely to further open this country to the fac- tories of Europe and the cheap labor employed there. It would be a much better thing to encourage the factories of this country to greater business in- stead of handing it over to Europe, THE LIBERTY BELL. Great value is attached to the ob- taining of the Liberty bell for each: every patriotic demonstration throughout the country.

The de- cision therefore that it was not to ba subjectgd to any more Tides about the country was arrived at because of the risk involved, the desire being to keep the bell intact as long as possible. Cal- ifornia hopes to overcome this and is doing its best to uphold her claim that so0 long as other expositions have had it. they ought not to be deprived and that the people of the Pacific coast should have a chance to get a look at it. Philadelphia indicates that she will continue to ¢ no, politely but firmly, nd it can be readily understood that is better td have the bell at Phila- delphia intact than in pieces. its EDITORIAL NOTES.

In Bridge- port they are endeavoring to stop the company from getting any more streets. Why not make the efforts where they will be most appreciated? THE MAN WHO TALKS Every family's problem as to liv- Ing is its own problem, and must be settled within its own abode by skill- ful management. It is the fashion to look at the market reports and the middlemen and then to jump up into the chatrs and seream concerning outrages which are -largely chargable to our own account. What we want not what we actually need opens the avenue for expenses; and our wants are usually in excess of our Incomes. 1t is right here every family must put on the brakes and first of all get their needs and their financial ability to- gether for an understanding. This will immediately affect the purpose while screaming about the grocer, the bak- er and the candlestickmaker at best results only in bad temper and a Joud noise. It is unmethodical ,and it is lack of method which makes us ir- rational. The way to cheapen things i8 to lessen the demand—to halt! The men having them for sale cannot al- ways wait. If he cannot sell them at his price he will eventually sell them for what he can get. . Combinations help protect the people, but those will not protect them from their own extravagances. The home tackle is the real hold by which outgo and income may be balanced and to this all other ‘grips are secondary. There is a proverb that “a good book is ‘one of the best of companions,” but only a small per cent. of the people Who read find this out. Reading i way of increasing knowledge and cul- tivating thought. Living truth from great minds are to be found in good books;- but when the book is finished what the writter thinks is of less im- portance to you than what you think of his work. Those who read all the new books as fast as published do not get from books what a reader does who has a fixed purpose in reading. Emerson laid down three good rules regarding the perusal of books: First, never read any book that is not a year old; second, never any but famed books; third, never any but what you like, Wwhich means reading for a pur- pose—waste no time, select books of life ‘and power, cultivate your taste along high and inspiring lines. It w: Bacon Who said, “read mot to contra- dict and confute, nor to, believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.” To know how to read is to satisy the mind and make rapid progress. What is a good hater? You may have heard some one spoken of in this way, and upon the whole he was regarded as a very estimable gentleman. This is the way we use language. There is nothing good about hate—never was and never will be. The feeling of hate depresses the hater, but in no way affects the hated, unless the hater 5t0ops to violence. A mind controlled by hatred soon becomes abnormal—it really diseased— and this leads men to villaing—to every kind of evil con- spiring. - A good hater is supposed to be one who does not easily relent—one Who breathes vengeance from every pore jand keeps it up, How good is he when you view him just as he is? He is ‘dependable to wreak vengeance act along the most contemptible and most cruel lines. Good never travels that way. Nothing good comes of such a disposition. Hatred has been defined as “madness of the heart” It is a question even, whether hating evil is a virtue since the virulence of hat- ing fails to make saints of the righteous. There is no €ause for hat- ing since we can abhor and not fly off the center of calmness, Perhvape the fellow who appears to be se much worse than I am is a bet- ter fellow than I would be in his con- dition. We are born to conditions with wer to better them if they are not 00 good, or to make them worse if we think it will make life more interesting. We do not start equal; and opportu- nitles are sometlmes 5o contracted that they make one feel that betterment is 8 false hope. A fellow who was well born and had a good start has no excuse for having become a knave; but there is merit in the rise of & man to knowledge, dignity and honor from a meager beginning. The reason men cannot judge righteously of an- gther 15 because he has to measure him by conditions which were not the other fellows. It is by our yardstick we measure manhood and woman- hood, and it is usually a cheat, for it is never g correct measure for any one else. The man who fs trained through juvenilty and youth by ef- ficlent people has no knowledge of life compared to the man who was born to the realm of toil and ignorance and early service and short schooling, We get our opinion of the world early, and the concreted prejudices of childhood are hardest to overcome. Treat a child like a dog and the tiger will be in him before he is 20. We better-than- thou fellows may be responsfble for some of the evil we despise. There is no one who has more re- spect for the man who is trying to Somewhere that I am o rnot. Some- for him. It is of no jmportance wheth- er he is following the same road to somewhere that 1 am or not. Some- where has just as many gates &s the new Jerusalem, and we may focus all right if we are not on the same point of the compass. I can re- spect the man who thinks there is only one gate to Somewhere, and that those only are trying to be something or somebody who are trailing his foot- steps. Narrowness is not a crime, if it is common—it is only a fault which may be overcome. I suppose most people are trying to get Somewhere; and a big per cent. of them are not to blame because they get Nowhere, for that was the place they were born to and find it a difficult task to depart from. :Home is home if it is ever so homely. The popular song, “I am Go- ing Somewhere, I Don't Know Where, But I'm on my Way,” isn't any more humorous than it is serious. Getting Somewhere does not always add to our manhood, or lend assurance to our hapes, Every man who is making money should see that he is at the same time learning how to spend it. It is a bad plan for any one to save money and waste himself; or to lend himself to making a fortune without pre- paring himself to fully enjoy it. Get- ting money alone for the sake of hay- ing money, of being rich, i to unbal- ance one's self. There is mental and spiritual need to be met as well as physical ,and it must not be neglected. The spiritual man calls for the riches money cannot buy, and without them earthly riches are not satisfying. Franklin pointed out that “wealth is not his who-has it ,but his who en- joys it!” We find temporary joy in Dossessing wealth, and the loss if it causes intense misery. He whose only dependence is money is possessed Dby fear, and fear demands that he shall have a rallying point. Lacking this the man of wealth is in danger of becoming a victim of his own base imaginings. Life demands of man the best that is in him before it will yield to him the best that is in it. If you are making money learn how to enjoy it, Do not employ greed as a superintendent of your pile and dle with his clutch up- on_you, instead of your clutch upon hope. Ignarance is at bottom of our woes; apd man is beast learned about the son: ation of life, which involves his own well-being. All scientific in- vestigators come to the one conclu- sion. that human life is wasted. The medlcal statlsticlans say that the strict cbservance of the laws of health would decrease the average death rate 37 1-2 per cent, that 30 of the 80 who now CONFLICTING DUTIES (Written Specially for the Bulletin.) A aull, gloomy day in November found Mrs. Merton in her mothers room for a chat soon after breakfast. She was favored with long visits from her mother, who was a welcome guest at all times, and as much a pleasure to Mr. Merton as to his wife. He often said he falled to understand the fre- quent jokes at the expenss of mothers- in-law, or eise Mrs. Brown was a areat exception. Certainly she and Mr. Merton were on the best of terms, and her coming in. the autumn of cach year was looked forward to by him as one of the joys of Thanksgiv- ing, at which time she was sure to arrive. A gioomy day this threatened to be, tormy but cold, windy and ull. . Merton sank back in her chair with a sigh. “There is so much for me to do today that I am perplexed to know what to choose for the day's L LR et sy e die in a hundred, are victims of diso- Dbedience to natural laws. The average person does not use himself well. No creature God has made lets appetite make such a wreck ,or such a fool, of him as man. The excesses we are all guilty of amazes the doctors, who are themselves not wholly free from them. In many directions we enjoy wasting ourselves; and go on impairing our health by senseless indulgences. We do things to find enjoyment or com- fort which impair our health, for get- ting that without health we aYe likely to win neither. We all ought to know how to live better—live trues—for to- day and for tomorrow, for the mistakes of today may mar many days to come, One of the 150 visiting German doctors says Americans are a race of dyspep- tics because of their ice cream. Oh, how many good things are productive of distressing results. Snowflaky ~ weather began on Thanksgiving day and a winter land- scape was the result. We looked out upon the beautiful snow, I realize some people deride the idea that there is anything beautiful about the snow; and most of them have no idea of the crystalized raindrop which has been discovered to take on 1200 distinct, lacy, geometrical forms, and every form a separate picture. When look out of the window upon the flying flakes the air is just full of beauty; and to learn this patient students had to catch the snow flakes on cold glass slides and examine them beneath microscope, and make pictures of them. These tiny snow flakes have promoted art, and the world in general knows nothing about it and cares less. Na- ture creates a'million of these forms in the time it would take an artist to sketch one ;and most people wonder what there is in nature that is fascin- ating—they do not know the plumage of buterfiles which appear to them like dust, s made up of perfectly formed scales as pretty as the feajhers of a humming bird. The snow is beauti- ful, and its work beneficent, for it pro- tects plants from the flerceness of the frost, and it teaches man forethought and ‘economy because he must pro- vide against the season of ice and snow drift. indulgence in | al | would take one into my work. 1 am_told confiict, but I am sure mine do. Now today, for instance, I ought to go to see poor Mrs. Wilder. I haven't been there for several weeks, and I prom- ised her to come often. She seems so forlorn since her husband's death. Then the other is that heap of mend- ing on my work-basket walting and increasing constantly, and I should spend the entire forenoon at my desk, Judging from the locks of the piles of notes and letters, I feel over- whelmed whenever I stop to think of all the accumulations of work to be done, and which to choose I do mnot kuow. “Let me advise you, then” replied her mother. “Go to Mrs. Wilder and try to cheer her up. A day like this is depressing to anvone placed as she is. You may be able to comfort her and brighten the day for her. I will attack your work-basket. I taught you to mend and am equal to that task, anyway. As for your letters and notes, use the telephone as much as you can, and you will find less to do then. Mrs, Wilder is your first duty, I am sure, but don’t talk all the time while there about her loss. That always in her mind, Take her some of those pretty flowers Frank brought you last night, and tell her all the society news you know. She used to enjoy that sort of thing very much. I know well that after your father's death I was thankful indeed when my friends directed my thoughts to some other channel than that where I found them constantly drifting. I realized my loneliness at all times and was glad to be made to_think and talk of other topics. Tell her all the funny things you know, the children’s pranks and odd speeches, or the blunders your new cook made at Thanksgiving, any- thing except her own sadness and loss. I wish she had three ‘Tollicking chil- dren like yours. One thing she has to be thankful for: there is plenty of money at her disposal. Now, I was left comparatively poor, you know, and had to plan pretty closely to make both ends meet and care for you and your two brothers. You are all well provided for now, and I feel more than repaid for my exertions. No mother was ever more happily placed in her advancing years than I, that is cer- tain, But if I keep on_talking you will fail of reaching Mrs. Wilder. Send the children in to see grandma while you are gone.” Mrs. Merton was soon equipped for her visit, and very thankful that such was her choice. The lonely widow was ‘more than grateful for the attention. “T am so glad you came.” she said ¢ her friend took her leave. “You have cheered me so much. I should have moped here all by myself had you not come. So few would come to me on such a day. I wish you would bring those children of yours to see me soon. T'd love to have them come, and I do enjoy children, though I have none of my own. 1 have geriously thought I home from some institution or other. It would be a great care for me, but, if all turned out well, it would be a com- fort as well. Come often, won't you, and bring one of your boys next time. On reaching her own home Mrs. that duties never | o5 Y is ] Merton went at once to her mother and the children, whom she feund with her as she expected to do. Their mother rewarded the good behavieur reported of them with the bundie of sweets she had brought them and sent them to the nursery to emjoy their feast, while she reported the outcome “I am glad I took your advice and went to Mrs. Wilder, She was so glad to see me and was interested in all the news I carried her. She wants to have the children brought to sce her; T feared they would be a trouble, for T did not know she liked children, She strongly thinks of adopting a child. I wish she would. It would give her a notion in life, and she has so little to occupy her time and thought, but one 15 8o uncertain of those who come from institutions. I hardly knew how to_advise her.” “1 know just the one for her,” ex- claimed Mrs. Brown. ‘There is in my nelghbourhood at home the very one for her, a little girl five or six years of age, of good family and train- ing, but whose parents have recently died, and the child is left destitute. The authorities are talking of putting her into the county home or something similar. I know they will be delighted at this solution of the problem, for they have dislfked to be forced into the other arrangement and feel sorry for the child. She is pretty in looks and gentle in manner, and I know Mrs. Wilder will be pleased with her. Let me send for her to come here for a visit, and Wwe can arrange with Mrs. Wilder to see her and decide about it. A good thing for both, I am con- vinced.” Again was Mrs. Brown's advice fol- lowed and with good results, Mrs. Wilder was at once attracted to the child, and the little girl responded to the affectionate kindness shown her, with all the strength of her poor little lonely heart. Both were very happy in their new relations, and all con- cerned felt it to be an ideal arrange- ment. “And it all came from your morn- ing call” said Mrs. Wilder, while Mrs. Merton felt amply repaid of the exer- tion she made on that memorable, gloomy November day. “You shall advise me in all things after this, mother,” she declared,” for surely you have shown yourself skil- ful in solving difficult questions.” AN IDLER.
