TIRED OF DEMOCRATIC RULE. rosiotptan. Beuste, but. by the fan figures, but by the - vure to' place candidates in the field or the subsequent withdrawal of candl- dates named. 1s the futility of the pro- gressive cause being manifested this fall. As s Roosevelt delegate to the Chicago convention from the state of ‘Maine now says: “Thers is no excuse for desertion from the republican ranks. The business and moral ele- ments of the party are sounder than ever.” . n the state of New Hampshire the progressives have decided to give their support to Senator Gallinger for re- election that the services of this val- uable statesman may be retained for the good of the state and nation in- stead -of contributing to the election of a democrat. After a conference upon the part of the Pennsylvania progressives Dean TLewts, who resigned his college posi- tion to accept the nomination for gov- ernor has withdrawn, and while he has declared in favor of the demio- cratic nominee, it s simply a release of the progressive voters for the ex- ercise of their best judgment in the cholce of the governor. The uselessness of malntaining & separate fight has been realized in each of these instances.. The main- tenance of a progressive ticket is but an aid to the democratic candidate. Tt has been in the past and it can only RETAIL PRICES. The country at large is following 'with keen interest every move which is deinz made in Washington pre- to the levying of the war tax. Consideration has been to the placing of a tax upon things, but the report which ‘be submitted to congress has but recommendations, providing for three per cent. tax upon freight and increases for beer and domestic wines. In connection with this decision and as an {llustration of the operation of freight tax Chairman Underwood : “A man who does a business $10,000 in freight bdills. pay a revenue tax of $300. A bill of ¢ size would indi- an_actual iness. of $1,000.040 1,600,000, A $300 tax spread over ount of business would be in- Itessimal and could have almost no effect on retall prices.” 3 The idea of a freight tax is scme- thing new in the way of obtaining ad- ditional revenue and if adopted will be carefully followed, for while Mr. Underwood may be of the opinion that it “could have almost no effect on re- tail prices” experience tells a differ- ent story. AIll things are of course possible and it may result as the chair- man of the ways and means commit- tee figures, but if it does it will be the first time that the opportunity of making good. to the full amount if not a little bit more, by shifting the burden onto the consumer was neglect- ed. It is easy to see what ought not to be dome, but it invarlably differs from what actually is done. EDITORIAL NOTES. The school children are at their desks, but there is no telling where their thoughts are. A while age there were only 8 few brands of self raising flour. Now it is tmpossible to get any other kind. Last month a coat of tan was a highly prized possession. Today it 1 as valueless as a last year's bdird- nest. The embargo on arms for Mexico has been raised, just as If there was fear that peace would reign in that reputlic, Austria is sald to be preparing to sue for peace. It's not surprising. It looks like peace or pleces for the dual ‘monarchy. Even though the chances are against the revenue tax including tobacco, it might be a good idea to lay in your supply of campaizn cigars, There are too many auts drivers who are anxious to display their “Ex- cuse our dust” bennmer to the loco motive engineer, Styles may change in Paris, but the time when the changes will be di- practices will be stopped. That a notc W'l be mede of the claims is likely ‘and they will be prescrved as matters for some possible future consideration when international warfare rules are under discussion, but from the neo- tral position which thls country has taken nothing further can follow now. If it i expected that Uncle Sem is going to step in, make an investi- gatlon and chastisé the rule breakers | they are mistaken. Each country, how- ever, knows the importance of public opinion. THE WAR ATROCITIES. Just how much credit can be given to tho storles of atracities which are coming from all sides of the European canflict is & puzzle. They are sub- ject in all cases to exeggeration through repetition, while sympathy with one army or another is bound to carry a certain amount of coloring and emphasis. The signed ststement of the mews- men from this country to the fect that the reports of wrongs and cruelties were untrue to the best of their knowledge in certain sections where the war had been waged gave support to the belief that prejudice had served to bolster up the storles of conduct in violetion of the Tules of Tected by German ideas has been in- definitely delayed, The man on the cormer says: To keep some fellows out of politics would Tequire something more than pitfalls and barbea wire entanglements. The French say the British fought as if they were playing football. It will not be long before the football squads will be emulating the allies. The merchant cruisers of the Brit- ish navy have suffered greater dam- ago from navigation troubles than from the guns of the German warships. With the republican and democratic state chairmen announcing their res- ignations in New York state, it is about time something was heard from the Colonel From all the ideas which are beiug presented for the raising of revenue it is going to require more than a hit or miss method of deciding this im- portant question, ‘With all the guesses that were made, it is a noticeable fact that no one was able to pick in advance,the re- pubiican ticket. The days of the cut and dried slate are over. —— I THE MAN WHO TALKS ! Some people Who feel sure 'they have great ideas could write all they know on a postal card; and some people who class themselves among the deep thinkers seem to be very un- famillar with the spelling book. It does not pay to dwell too seriomelv upon the quality of your own thoughts, since it 84S NOUlus L0 tuci w .- and may be a harmful delusion. It is well to let other people pass upon the value of your ideas before you do. Thoughts we think are golden cannot always stand the acid of cold-blooded criticism. To puff up our own thoughts is so similar to laughing at our own jokes that a tolerant public will not forgive it. If you think you are a deep thinker devote yourself more to the prayerbook and less to your own lu- cubrations. Do not get so weak that you lead yourself astray ~There are too many people who are doing it—the world needs no more. Good ideas are beating great ideas to death most of the time, The world does and is always likely to prefer the presence of & merry sin- ner to that of a melancholly saint, simply because the melancholly saint is a counterfeit of something better. There is nothing unsaintly about a smile or a cheering heart—a glowing countenance or a glad hand. Heaven is attractive to the human mind be- cause it is supposed to represent ev- erything good, which ought to include good music and good feelings, and all that go with them. If St. Peter at Heaven's gate had such a face on him as is given him by the sculptors, no child could be blamed if upon behold- ing it in spirit he should exclaim in fear and tears: “I want to go home! I have always wondered how man of sorrows" could preach * the world.” Man paints poorly. German royal prince has been known to ask his friends when he finished a plcture “whether tilooked like a war- rior on horseback or a farmer going to market?” Poor word-pictures have given many a devoted heart a chill. If religion cannot make the human soul feel merry, what on earth can? While the present fioral season has produced a superabundance of flowers the blooms have boen short-lived and disappointing. Between the heavy dews and the searching sun the flow- ers have been scorched and browned and made worthless in & day. To keep their flelds looking fresh and bright the large dahlia growers have had to remove cartloads of blooms and con- sign them to the dump. The Hillcrest Gahlia. park at Westerly has held up its reputation for fine flowers and the dahlia fanclers of several states have found there to their delight the latest and_most attractive varieties not only of dahllas. but of gladioli, china as- ters, Sapliglossis, snap-dragons, etc. From now until frost the park wili be a paradise of bloom, and all who make a hobby of growing dahlias, or who enjoy beautiful flowers, Will be welcomed there. It is a sight enjoyed by hundreds of automobilists every season, ang these flowers are shipped as far west as Chicago and to Louis- ville, Ky., for decorative purposes. a good time now to take an ac- of stock of the human con- science, since it is collectively on ex. hibition as never before, and {s char ed with belng answerable for the co flicts between the nations of Europe: and it seems to be apparent what the world most sadly needs is a new con- science founded upom unity of princi- ple. There are eight distinct con- sciences back of the present unholy war—the Russian, the German, the British, the. Belglan, the French, the Austrian, the Hungarian and the Ser- vian; and there would be two more if the 'Japanese and East Indlans ,were supposed to have consciences, and Just s0 long as these warriors carry the kind of consclences they have now, war will be continued, for these con- sciences depend more ‘on heavy artil- lery than upon the Almighty Father. What is needed '1s a universial con- science which recognizes the power of 'nve and the peril of selfishness. In- stead of belng conscious of the broth- crnood of men we recognize we are of the brotherhood of apes, and go on aping one another in the worst quali- ties of the human heart. This is true: “Thar’s a heap o’ com- fort in lookin' on the dark side o’ life cheerfully.” There is no use of crying over spilt milk—no use of taking ad- versity too much to heart. Adversity doesn't sweeten experience, but it puts something Into it that may improve our. vision of life. Life might have nroved to have been monotonous if the Lord hadn’t put so much of interest and perplexity into it. It is what we see and what we do and what we feel that makes men of us. If it wasn't for pain we might die without warning, or a chance to overcome peril, or be inspired to be master of ourselves. The dark side of life is just as neces- sary as the bright side. See the part the shadows'play in any beautiful pic- ture. If there is not twice as much shadow as light the beauty of the plc- ture is marred. There is something besides affliction on the dark side of life. The key has been found there which opened the door to a broader, more earnest and fuller conception of life. Do not glance dismallv at con- ditions which contain a precious rev- elation for you. “Life may be paved with enjoy- ments,” as Sir John Lubbock declared, but there are a great many pits in the pavement. The wise engineer always puts on the brakes on the down grade, and the level-headed human puts re- straint upon enjoyment. “Go it while You are young, for when you get old you cannot,” is a popuar maxim, and it is surprising where it has‘ been closely lived up to how few have liv- ed to repent the errors of their ways. The fruit of labor is enjoyment: and real enjoyment leaves no bad taste in the mouth or distressing conditions. Those who find enjoyment in excesses find occasion for repentance. There 1s joy in living for all who live right. We are all more or less fond of hilar- ity and music by the full band. He is a dull spirited fellow who has never been tempted to paint the town red. The unexpected is what may excite us to do something rash, but the way of enjoyment is life's calmest highway. We must look out for the holes in the pavement or they will cripple us, 1 heard a citizen saying to a friend the other day, “Misfortunes come to- gether,” as though he was having more than his share, and wasn’t sur- prised. There is no doubt misfortunes have a way of getting together, or that they fall upon the ignorant and negligent oftener than upon any one else. Some conditions attract misfor- tune as naturally as a magnet at- tracts steel. If men were not guilty of putting themselves in the way of misfortune ‘“contributive negligence” would not be a factor in every legal issue for personal damages. Heedless- ness is a quite common fault among men. Curiosity which leads to meddle- someness has often been the primary ause of serious injury. It is up to man to steer clear of peril of every kind—it does no good to discover what a fool we were afterwards. “Safety first!” is the slogan nowadays, and that applies to personal actlion with reference to many things besides auto- moblles. “Safety first!” was born late, NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1912 (Written specially for The Bulletin). I have always been pleased to re- member an incident which followed a former vacation to an lsland off the New England coast. Arriving late and heving no quarters reserved. 1 was forced to take & room in a cot- tage some distance from the hotel. Such a plain little dwelling it was, too, and such a tiny, plainly furnished room! insular curfosity she was interested in all I did and said; and when I had through great travail, and it is up to finished reading my daily Bulletin, she lighted with eagerness on ifs patterns, which so many other - find helpful and useful. When 1 gave her permission to clip these daily, she was e e ing. T promswed & d h n leaving, o send her a number of the clipped patterns from time to time and I kept up the practice for several years, frequently adding a fashion catalogue, or notes on styles from ope source or another. “Even if I don't send for the pat- terns, they will give me a guide to go by, in making things for me and the children!” she sald _gratefully, her starved woman's soul yearning for all of us to make the most of the child., “Thou shalt not kill,” is a command- ment the Christian world does not hesitate to violate upon the slightest pretext. When the late Pope Leo in his last days stigmatized the present European war as “unholy,” he uttered a sentiment which is endorsed by ev- ery honest Christian in the Christian world. _Its purpose is a display of power for the acquisition of territory and the spoils of war. Its roots are set in ancient barbarism, and the tri- umph of this free-booting vandalism would set the world back a thousand years. To invoke the blessing of God upon such carnage and prowess is the grossest sacrilege the lips of fanaticism ever uttered. The noblest minds have been hoping and praying for peace while the serpent of militarism has been coiling himself to strike a dead- 1y blow to the highest endeavor in the name of selfishness. The heavy artil- lery may be on the side of God, as a clerygyman has declared, but the Sav- iour of men did not need or recignize the sword as an arbiter of righteous- ness. SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE RAINBOW ABOUT THE THRONE. The rainbow is one of the most beau- tiful of the phenomena of nature. It has been a spectacle of wonder and delight during all the ages than sun and rain have known each other. The cave man saw it in the dim years be- fore recorded history began, even as you and I see it as one of the pleasant- est accompaniments of the summer shower. Wherever the sun’s rays pierce through the raindrops at a certain angle we have the glorious arch whose sacramental meaning since the days of Noah has been that of a covenant of mercy between God and man. In his book of Revelation the Apostle John has taken the glorious spectacle to illustrate his vision of the life be- yond. “And there was a rainbow round about the throne,” he says. The throne of God is not draped in gloom or wrap- ped in thunder clouds, but is beautiful with that bow of colors that has ever been the symbol of human hope and of the divine love and care. Life would be far stronger and hap- pier if we could make the ser’s vision our own. There is so much of sin and suffering and disappointment in these human lives of ours, so many hard questions without anewers, so much in the present world that seems out of joint that we are apt to see the cloud Tather than the rainbow. Men wonder sometimes whether things are working out for any good purpose whatever. The sentiment of old Omar is in the mind of many & modern thinker. It I were God, and this poor world ‘were mine, Oh, thou should’st see on what a fair design I would rebuild it Mke a dream for thee— Nor should’st thou ever blush to call it thine. A sentence in one of the last letters of Willlam T. Stead, just before taking passage on the Titanic, states the age long problem: “I cannot doubt that God, who has all eternity to work in, will prove before the end comes that He is at least as good-hearted as you or I and that would not be so if He could not fix up things ultimately bet. ter than they seem to be fixed up now. The rainbow about the great white throne symbolizes our confidence that God will ultimately “Aix wp things.” Beauty and order will come somehow out of the chaos in which our world often seems plunged. We journey on to the revelation of a love that is both just and merciful. Behind all the sin and the selfishness and the cruelty that stagger us we may see at the very center of this universe of God unfail- ing light and beauty and love. This view involves no easy going op- timism, no slipshod evasion of pereonal responsibility. It does not blink the fact of deep-rooted evil in the hearts of man. But it does mean hope—hope for the world and for oneself. It means that the Almighty has not lost control of the world nor been defeated. It means agaln that He is not the vindictive being, the mere dispenser of doom that theology has sometimes pic- tured. No man finds the door into life shut unless he shuts it himself. With that conviction each mortal may meet the unseen. Let the rainbow be ever set against the background of our doubts and fears, against the clouds of our sorrows end sins. For the love of God Is broader Than the measure of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. THE PARSON. even this little bit of an insight to the prevailing modes. It was such a little thing to do— merely to remember, that I am sorry 1 have not kept up the practice. The woman on the island may be dead— 1 have never heard from her; but I am thankful that I helped add a tiny bit to her meagre joy in living, even through a few years. Summer and winter—and on that far islandl It may be a lesson to some of us, a hint as to what we could do to bring a little sunshine Into the lives of those with whom we have epent our recreation days. Isn't it a ~bit selfish, to put them wholly out of memory, when we have sald that last, hurried “Good bye!” at the door, or at the station? They must have been negligible indeed, if they do not de- serve better from us! A one-time pupil in the Norwich Free Academy during the princip ship of William Hutchinson of hon- ored and revered memory—told me that one of the jokes among the pupils of his time was his fashion of saying invariably, during the morning de- votional period, “And forgive us our omissions as well as our commis- sions.” ‘Wouldn't it be a good prayer for many of us at this later day? Per- haps 1f we were aware of it, we suffer quite as much from those deeds which we omit to do as from those which ‘we commit. To be %ure, there are times wher omissions may be meritorious: Fo: instance: While in a trolley car the other evening I overheard a passenger tell this story: A gushing young ‘bride, meeting an acqualintance, said, “Clara, you must come and see my little flat!” The dear friend replied meanly, “, but I have seen him!” Now Clara might have omitted that unkind implication! As ! sat reading on the piazza at my Cousin Lucindy’s the other day, she came out with her work basket. “There! T've just found that old seersucker coat of John's! He loves it to slip on, hot evenings. A little mending _about the collar and one button, and it will be ready whenever he needs it! And this morning I'm going to stew up some of those pears and send them down to Mrs. anuus! Her husband is sick and I dare say the poor children don't even get but- ter for their bread! - Theyll relish stewed pears—with a good, thick sweet syrup!” Then she went down to sweep off the walk, stepped across to speak to Mrs, Gray. a neighbor, and for two hours they discuseed another neighbor who had undergone a dan- gerous operation at the hospital— probably no more wonderful than a thousand others; but they talked over what the doctor said and what the head nurse said, and how the patient took the ether, and how awtul it was to have this war, with sugar so hish and the prospects for a hard winter; and then Lucindy reluctantly (?) ac- cepted an invitation to run in and see how nicely Mrs. Gray's scrim curtaine had laundered—pinned on those new frames she had bought last summer, ete., ete. When Lucindy re-appeared, it was too late to mend John's coat, or to stew up those pears for the hungry Knott children, as she had to get dinner. Now, there are two faulty omissions; and just for fruitless gossip! Speaking of seersucker, reminds me of a secret which | overheard Lucindy whisper to Mrs. Gray—she's a master hand to omit drudgery, is Lucindy, although she often fails to omit what Dickens called poll-parroting! Here's what she said: “Why, when there are four grown women ‘in the family, it's quite a scheme to save ironing, you know! I've leained to make all except my ‘best nighties of seersucker—white and soft; but if a body wanted some more fancy, you could cut them from blue and’ white, or pink and white! Aunt Hattie always uses seersucker for petticoats, and now Jane is using it for combination: John sometimes says unkindly that Lucindy’s tongue is hung in the mid- dle and wags at both ends; but she does know how to catch on to all the devices for making work lighter: Tve heard her say during former visits, that she abhors dish-washing; wished folks could eat from wooden plates, which might be burned up after each meal. So when she showed me this summer a new scheme for dish-washing-made-easy I _laughed. Now she or ome of her daughters washes the glass and silver which another of the girls wipes in the ordl- nary way. Then the china taken right out of scalding rinsing water, is placed piece by plece In a new- fangled drainer. 1 bad my doubts of its utility; but it's O. K. The dishes are so placed that germs and dust cannot get under each plece; and when it comes time for the next meal, presto! they are as dry as thoush they came from a kilni Of course platters and big pleces have to be wiped in the old-fashioned way: but it's a big advantage for ordinary dishes, saving time and labor.

NOVELTY SINGING AND COSTUME CHANGES It looks now as if the chamber of commerce idea has taken root and that one will be organized in New Britaln. . The K meeting last evening was along the right lines, the senti- ment was for the organization, the in- dications are that the problem is thoroughly understood and when the chamber is organized there will be no doubt but that every feature will bc well known to those interested.

The telephone company probably would not vociferously object to the occasional lending of a telephone call as an isolated convenience or in emer- gency. But it does object, and reason- ably, to the free and unrestricted public use of telephones which it has leased for private, or restricted use. Furthermore, a large proportion of those who now borrow a telephone that after a holiday the city parks are littered with lunch boxes, old newspapers, etc, to pick up which adds materially to the cost of caring for the parks, besides spoiling their oeauty until they are picked up.
