It ism't surprising that Governor Sulzer should be disturbed over the resignation of Dr. Russell, superin- tendent of Matteawan, before he had an opportunity to bounce him from the office. It is quite evident that the for- mer superintendent realized his weak ness in time to avoid the further stim- ma of being discharged from a state office of much importance, however much he deserved it. The investigation has brought to light a situation which imposes upon the state of New York the same drastic action Which District Attorney Whitman is giving the city. Much as it would be welcomed, it seems impossible fo keep the famous Thaw case from before the public gaze. The fact that the family possegses money has been the cause of its prom- inence in the past and that very cir- cumstance is the reason for the scan- dal which has been stirred up now in connection with the efforts to se- cure the release of the young man. That meney is the root of all evil is being many times demonstrated in thi case. Through it Thaw was undoubt- edly saved from the eiectric chair and it b served to keep the matter be- fore the courts ever since in attempts to obtain his release. He has been ac- corded far more rights than a poor man could have obtained and money has been doled out in eve which held out hope for Lawyers, alien and the keeper of the asylum have shared in thig per- sistent effort to overcome justice, but it is to the credit of the courts that justice has not yielded. While mone can accomplish many things it can also cause much trouble: COST OF GOVERNMENT. The inc; in the cost of govern- ment as well as living is a problem which municipalities must face solve. It is one which concerns individual as much as the living cost for he is called upon to help bear the burden which by force of stances becomes a double one. The federal census bureau in a late report shows that the expenditures of 145 cities, each of which has a population of thirty thousand or more increased from $419,819.091 in 1902, to $717,S: 232 1910. This showed an increase iod of eight years of 66.6 per a greater increase than showed in population dur- period. In these increase of a release. e in in a pe cent. or the country ing that same the per capita .4 per cent. It is not alone the city governments which are showing an increased cost of operation, but it also true of the state and the nation.

Now it should be manifested in the actions of the present session and instead of blocking Comnecticut's progress they rhould endeavor to help it alonz.

The improvement which is heing shown in the condition of affairs in | Mexico gives hopeful indications of the | rosumption of peace in that republic ! which for many months has been torn | by strife and discord. Provisional President Huerta is ruling wiih the iron hand which characterized the Diax administration and which seems so mecessary with the people of that gountry. This and education seem to e the solution of the disturbed state f affairs. Huerta has apparently se- ured the confidence of the people and his promises and conduct have been such as to immediately quell any re- bellious spirit which the governors of some of the states have manifested. For the welfare of Mexico and all | interested therein it 1s to be hoped that Huerta will be able to bring peace out of the chaotic conditions which have caused no end of concern to this country. Mexico itself has suffered no end of terror to say nothing of the harm which has come to the business | of the stales which have experienced the brunt of the fishting.

That which is best for him he greets with least favor. Why? Because he re- sards ihe cigar as a gift, and good advice as effrontery, or meddlesome- ness, which might, perhaps, be called truly a pipe-dream. Our sight is reg- ulated by the interpretation the mind puls upon acts, and this is what makes so many ef us blind to the truth. You see from this comparison of acts on the part of the average man that when vice and ad-vice get close to- gether gn the same plane, vice shows no weakness—man shows that! We do not see ourselves as we should very often, do we? This mirror ought to be heid up eftener—it would do no harm f we looked in it every day. Therc is no reason why man shouid join in vice with more glee than he will join in prayer but he seems willing to. There is no doubt money is made to spend; but no one endorses the senti- ment that it is made to throw away. The person who knows how to spend money has acquired skill. To be with- out meney is to be on the verge of bankruptey., and the wise man keeps as far as possible from that, which means that we should keep our wants well within our income. It does not ! require judgment or skill to spend money faster than one can earn it— an idiot can do that. A dollar in one’s pocket looks better than an 1 O U in the paymaster’s till. .He who plays with debt invites poverty. Two dol- lars saved looks better than $5 in the hole.

Ne- it appears to be the only thing that will keep a man at hard work if it is healthy and strength-developing, for most men prefer advocating it at so much per lecture. When we have hard work to do we hire the other fel- low to do it if we can get the where- withal to hire him: not because we love him less, perhaps, but because we love ourselves more.

No one sees a thing they insist upon standing back to. We put off action along lines of mercy and good fellowship twice where we are thrice prompted to it. When our good intentions are put beside those we put into force there is no doubt they will tower like Bunker Hill mon- ument beside fencepost. Man means well, and he is meaner than he thinks.

For some reason men | like to lord. it -over their brethren. Sometimes they do it upon the pre- text that they must be kept from making mistakes, and sometimes be- cause of an ill-founded conviction that | might makes right. It is not infre- quently that tyranny is expressed in law, and this has been regarded as the ‘worst eort. It was Edmund Burke who said: “Kings will be tyrants from policy, when_subjects are rebels from principle,” You may have noticed this is true of the employer and employed— the boss and the workman—in the competitions of life. Men who feel called upon to control the affairs of others should look well to themselves Lo see if they are capable of seif-con- irol, for they usually are not. The spirit of tyranny is always a mark of | weakness, and it has been well said | that “rebellion against tyvrants is obe- | dience to God!” The foundation of all tyranny is self-conceit, and petty tyr- anny is worthy of a poitroon but not of a man. Of course, we all recognize that it is a good heart that feels for the heathen, but it is surprising how far away they think the heathen be. Speak of heathen and away runs thought to China, India. Africa, or the far-off isles of the sea, because we have the habit of looking away from home for unilluminated minds. We do not per- mit ourselves to think of heathen right home—right in our midst. The heathen of eastern Connecticut need redemption and need it as much as the heathen in central Africa. You may not know anyone who has no more idea of the sacred rights of others, the sanctity of home or parental duty toward their children than Fiji island- ers. but we have them. Being too far- sighted is rather a sin than a virtue. We should cultivate the habit of rec- ognizing the heathen near by. They are the heathen who compromise us.

Ahead of the Time, What a lot of fun Cuarrie Nution wotld have if siie only had lived to bhe nommen nmm - SA I _(Writen Speciaily for The Bulletin.) Harry Clinton was an honest, in- dustrious mechanie, holding a good position which he had attained by ! faithful devetion to his employers’ in- terests. They evidently appreciated this, and he had been promoted from one place to another over the heads of those whose term of service was longer than his, so that now he held under his authority some who at one time controlled him. They called it favoritism and sald he was a pet of the old man as they termed their em- ployer when out of his. hearing, but that gentleman could have told them a far different reason for Henry Clin- ton's rapid advancement. Trained from chfldhood to afford a pretty home, well-furnished and pro- vided with every comfort. To _this home he had proudly brought his bride some years before, and there they be- gan what promised to be a very happy wedded life. In thelr native village he had known and loved Margaret Hast- ings, and she had. returned his af- fection with equal ardor, and was as proud of her husband and his suc- cess as she well could be. Capable and well-trained in all domestic love she delighted in making her house a model of neatness and comfort, and when little Harry came to bless that home, nothing seemed lacking to per- fect their happiness, for their little son was the idol of both father and moth- e Attractive in both looks and manner, Margaret made acquaintances rapidly net only in her own neighborhood but outside it, to the envy of her neigh- bors who were not thus favored. Early in their married life both Henry and his wife had associated themselves with a thriving church not far from their home, and there Margaret's abil- ity to help was soon recognized ,and she became a valued worker in all church activities. This brought her into notice with many whose wealth and social standing were far beyond her own. Among these was Mrs. Blumenthal, a wealthy widow of middle life, whose husband had been quite noted as a jurist, and whose death some years previous had left his widow more leisure than she relished. = Childless and lonely she turned her energies in- to church work, and there she met and admired Margaret Clinton, and took pleasure in bestowing much atten- tion upon her. Mrs. Clinton natural- ly felt flattered by this notice, and her husband was pleased to see her appreciated as he knew she deserved to be. As time went on. hewever, he some- times flelt that Mrs. Blumenthal en- grossed too much of his wife's time and thought, particularly as the_afore- said lady became much interested in lines of reform werk. and ex many pected all her friends to be as en- thusiastic as herself in whatever hap- pened to be her- transient fad or fancy. She at last announced herself a suf- fragaette, and espoused the cause with all her heart, urging all her friends to do the same. The notion of entering the arena of politics was at first re pulsive to Margaret, but she allow- ed herself to be carried along by her leaders, till finally she became quite imbibed with what they called the progressive spirit. Henry Clinton only laughed at her at first, but began to be weary of being SUNDAY MORNING TALKI R N T ———— (T The Spur of the Occasion. Thousands of voung men the world over are serenely awaiting it. They imagine they can go in and win when the big hour comes. If they were once really put to ‘it they could square up to~all requirements. To any indulging so pleasing a con- fidence the words of James A. Garfield are full of suggestion. “Young gen- tlerden,” he once said, “occasions can- not make spurs. If you expect to wear spurs you must win them. If you wish to use them you must buckle them to your own heels before you go into the fight.” In truth, occasions may reveal noth- ing save our incompetency and weak- ness. They may simply furnish the stage on which as ill-prepared actors we stumble and falter. By no magic whatsoever can an occasion transmute incapacity into power and resource. Examining a spectacular success we find its long roots in the past. The great occasion had been patiently pre- pared for. The evening before his masterly reply to Hayne in the senate Webster astonished his friends by his care-free attitude. He laughed and joked with his companions and seemed the only person in Washington entire- Iy at ease. But when the stage was set on the morrow he was ready for his entrance and he knew his lines. For this critical. battle the great de- fender had been preparing all his life To one who asked him if the reply to Hayne was extemporaneous, he re- plied, “Young man, there is no such thing as_extemporaneous acquisition.” At a football game between our two greatest universities one of the players | i | meal was | sane and artistic lines | spots | to second or third in her heart, where he had always reigned first; and felt that both he and his little son were often neglicted when their interests and that of the progressives clashed. Still he made no protest, hoping that Margaret must soon tire of publicity and return to her domestic dutles. The crisis came one chilly night in late autumn.- The air was frosty and crisp, and as Henry Clinton walked briskly on his homeward way, visions of light and warmth and a substantial meal advanced through his mind. In- stead of the cheery welcome he expect- ed, however, he found a cheerless re- ception, an unlighted house, a gloomy chill in the rooms, no evening meal prepared, while little Harry sat weep- ing on the porch, cold and hungry and staying his sobs only to give vent to a hoarse cough which showed plain- ly enough that he needed care and at- tention. What man, patient though he were, but would have resented such treatment, and Henry Clinton was not the most patient man in the world. Gathering up the poor child in his arms, he entered his desolate house, and began to right matters within as rapidly as he could unaided by the deft hands of his wife. The evening well towards completion when Margaret entered, tired and worn, with her unusual experience and irritable because conscious smit- ten over her neglected duty. She pro- tested that she did not realize the lateness of the heur, that she was in attendance at a_lecture by a noted speaker, a woman of high position, who was devoting herself to the cause, and at the close of the address she was over-persuaded to be one of the escort to a fashionable hotel, where a reception was given to the lecturer. “I did not want to mo, “shé said, but Mrs. Blumenthal seemed to ex- pect it of me, and I did not like to give offence. You don’t mimd, do you, Henry? for it now dawned upon her that her husband had not greeted her in his customary manner.. Then Har- ry’s sharp cough canght her ear, and she exclaimed, “I do hope Harry has not taken cold. It was so mild in the middle of the day that I perhaps did not dress him warmly enough. I shall never forgive myself if he has croup tonight,” and the tears came to her eyes as her motherly love was stirred at the child’s condition. But it was not croup that followed in Harry’s case. Before morning a physician was called for the child, and pneumonia developed in spite of all his efforts to ward off that.dreaded allment. Long weeks of iliness follow ed before his recovery became certain, and many anxious days and nights were the portion of the fond parents. Margaret felt herself responsible to a large extent for the child’s iliness, and thankful indeed was she, when Harry was pronounced out of danger. By his bedside she resolved that never again could her desire for popularity blind her to her home duties. Mean- time her answer to all calls for out- side work was, “No, 1 have learned my lesson. My pleasure as well as my duty lles here in my home. I am happier as a home-abiding wife and mother than I ever could be in politi- cal 1ife, and 1 am sure it is better for me to leave that to others more am- bitious than 1. My sphere is at home and ts high enough for me.” Truly her lesson was thoroughly learned. AN ILLER.
