5 NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1914 DEMOGRATIC RALLY AT WESTERLY Speakers Saturday Evening Were Col. Patrick Henry Quinn, Congressman Peter G. Geary and Irving O. Hunt—Bay- bqlrySeuonattheight——DelthofMich-el J. Clancy —Sunday Hunter Pays $23. The first political rally of thedpres- campai, was held under demo- ;::flo um‘!:ea in the Bliven Opera house Saturday night, with a fair- sized audience in attendance, as it was in the main composed of republicans, for there are not enough democrais in the town to malce a respectable show- ing in numbers. The were Colonel .Patrick Henry. Quinn,. candi- date for , Cor Peter Goslet . candidate for re-election, and Irving O. Hunt, candidate for at- torney-general. Colone! Quinn hinted at graft under the republican administration in Rhode Island and said: ' “The cost of public printing became so scandalously large that even the republican party had to take measures to reducce it, and although the reduction was made in a half-hearted way, it resulted, in the first year, of a saving of $20,000. An- other item of extravagant expenditure is the mileage grab taken for the gen- ral assembly last session, in the daily mileage. While it may he argued that the members are entitled to mileage beyond the figure fixed by the general assembly, in order to pay them for their reason- able expenses, certainly they ought not to be pald more than the actual cost to them of transportation to and from their homes. Such a system of mile- age would reduce the cost of the gen- eral assembly by many thousands of dollars. Another wrong item of ex- pense is the payment of salaries to clerks of committees who simply hold positions which carry no duty except that of collecting the salaries at stat- ed -periods. An examination of the te auditor's reports will show, ere and there, items of expenditure which are needless and therefore ‘wasteful. He said the republican party has demonstrated its incapaci to provide funds for the support of the e ‘matter of state gov, ent or to properly han- die the ds. Irving O. Hunt, the next speaker, said that the attorne; 4 | of the state had not .nfowo! ho Tayw n taws which specifically prohibit the bribing or the attempt ‘of bribing of voters. To claim that the attorney general has not known that bribery has taken place is an ineult to his intelligence. To claim that he has the right to rely ypon town police officials to start prosefution is begging the question. The statute states that he shall draw and present all information concern- ing any criminal matters or wrongs done to the state or any citizen there- of. It is his duty to see that the criminal laws are enforced. This he has not done. Mr. Hunt said he did not contend that any large proportion of the vote is bought or sold, but that a zealous, energetic attorney general should and could materially lessen crime in the state. When Congressman Gerry stepped to the footlights he was acorded a hearty_greeting, the republicans unit- ing with democrats in applause. “1 have been quoted as saying that all talk of our having harc times was bosh,” he said. “ That was not what I said. My statement was: ‘The cry that politicians are making that hard times are before us is all bosh.’ i did not mean that there had been no depression in Rhode Island, but what I did mean and what my statement clearly set forth was that that period was behind, and not before us, and that conditions were Improving and were going to continue to do so. Any person who keeps in touch with in- dustrial - conditions will business men agree with me. “The depression that this countrv suffered from was not confined soleiy to ourselves, but was world-wide. It ‘was started at the time of the Balkan war, when Burope felt that a great conflict such as exists today might be before her, and her bankers began col- lecting all the gold they could get and hoarding it. Large quantities of our railroad . securities. were held in.for- eign countries, and many of these were sold in order to obtain gold for them. BEurope was trying to obtain money and was drawing heawily from us, making it difficilt for our own in- dustries to obtain the credit they The Great Emancipator said—“You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” For a good many years a lot of people have been fooled in the belief that coffee was good for them—that it was a harmless or even a beneficial drink. It was only when the scientific research of the medi- cal profession began to lay bare the bones of the coffee skeleton, that people awoke to the fact that much of the Nervousness, Indigestion, Heart Disturbance, Short Breath, Headache, were directl Biliousness, due to coffee drinkin. Sleeplessness, etc., The proof came to these people when thcy tried the easy test of quitting coffee for a while and used POSTUM If you are a coffee drinker and feel aches and ills you can’t account for, try the simple experiment for ten days. Then you'll know the way to comfort, “There’s a Reason” Coffee contains “caffeine” and “tannin”, two dan- gerous drugs that vitally affetc nerves, stomach, heart, liver and kidneys. Efforts to eliminate these drugs from the coffee berry, except in part, have proven futile. Postum made from prime wheat and a_small per cent of wholesome molasses, roasted like coffee, and so processed as to create a mild Java-like flavour, is abso- lutely pure and free from the coffee drugs, ‘“caffeine” and “tannin” or any other harmful ingredient. | drupes or “There’s a Reason” for Postum —sold by Grocers everywhere. needed. Industries abroad were suf- fering in the same way and in a much ‘worse degree. \ “An unparalleled situation was im- mediately created, and if it had not been for the able handling of the situ- gtion by President Wilson we might have seen a panic as bad as that of 1907. Our bankers and business men are adjusting themselves to the new situation, are regaining their confi- dence, and although too much money is probably still hoarded by the banks, this condition will soon be changed when the federal reserve act gets into working order.” Other speakers were Jerome.

During that period the treasurer of the fund has received from the state treasurer $26,000, of ‘which sum $14,018 has been expended and $11,606.12, including interest, re- turned acording to law to the state treasurer. t present, under the law, as amended in 1913, the unexpended balance each year is held in trust by the state treasurer for three years, when it reverts to the treasury.

The shrub, or tree, is distinguished by a naked flower, a drupacecous fruit, the scaies becoming fleshy, and a si.- gle seed. The bayberry, as it is tefm- ed here, has evergreen, oblong, lan- ceolet leav. with two small serva- tures on h side of the point, sprin- Kied with resinous dats. The bark and leaves when bruised emit a de- lightfu!l fagrance. The smiall, dry ruts when ripe in October are coverad with a greenish-white wax which is collected by boiling them and ekitming it off, ahd it is afterwards melted and refined, and formed into hard blocks. Qne bushel of bayberries W'l yield from four to eix pounds of . 1t is used on the finest of ma- chinery, and for ihe finishing of cart- ridges, and in the manufacture of candles which burn slowly, with littie smoke, and emit an agreeable balsam- ic odor, but do not give strong light.

One of the most unfortunate fea- i mow also comes with United Coupors tures of the near free trade Under- wood tariff was its complete failure to reduce - prices. We fancy that the makers, of the measure were as much, astonished over the outcome of their efforts as they were disappointed. The trouble was due to their faith in the views of the free trade theorists. When the new tariff law was w into effect it did everything slse buf WAL :its'~ planners predicted for it. They fondly dreamed it would lower the cost of foreign competition ‘and bring im enough revenue to pay bills. In not a single direction was .t realized. <'Weeks before the war was even thought of this was apparent. Prices of ‘the nécessities of life went up by leaps and pounds. Not a single thing showed enough decline to be of asssiance to, the pocketbook. —Bridge- port Post. [ 33 The Egyptian rice crop is a faijure.
