AYLING, Norwich Representatives ALBERT J. BAILEY, JOSEPH H. HENDERSON VOTERS SEE THEIR DUTY. . There is no doubt but what the average voter has studied out for him- Belf the FTollan that they must be taken south, if they ‘want to exist. This is democratic pol- fcy and democratic legislation such as our congressman stood for and it is ‘most emphatically against the welfare ©f this district, In addition to the stagnation and business uncertainty has come the in- w<ome tax and upon that the war tax that the peoble of this country must . ‘in order that foreign producers pan get the benefit of this country as # market for the product of their poor- iy patd labor. i It fsn't that Iind of action or the| poing of things in that way which ap- peals favorably to the voter, be he faborer, merchant, farmer, mill oper- Btivo or business man. The district| in common with the country has been given a setback because of action two years ago. ihat the people of this district are rallying to the support of Brandegee for the senate and Freeman for con- gress when they stand for principles Ahich can and will overcome such dfsmal democrat'c disaster? VOTING MACHINES. In the election of next week Nor- wich like several other places through- M\ the state will use voting ma- chines. This 18 the method of voting which-hes been followed here for sev- eral elections and it is to the credit of the city and town that it has been sdopted. It doesn’t mean perfection but it is so far ahead of the Aus: tralian ballot method in use through- out the majority of the towns that there is no comparison. ‘For the purpose of enlightening those who may not be familiar with the use of the machine, those who have never woted before or those who feel that they need a little further instruction In their use the machines are ready for demonstration purposes this af- Lernoon and evening in all districts ex- cept the second. In the first distriot the demonstration will be continued Baturday and Monday from noon un- The s!mpHoity of the machines never falls to impress, dut advantage of the opportunity should be taken by all who need the Instruc- ‘fon, NEW ORLEANS AND PREVENTION Wherever -they- have been put into eperation prevention measures have been found to pay. New Orleang Is sne of the latest to be furnishing the yood results of maintaining such a policy and while it was action into which it was forced it nevertheless fhows to itself and others what can pe accomplished through the insti- lution of proper precaution. Bubonic plague was the means of rausing New Orleang to realize Its :ondition and to get earnestly at work o remedy it. The health authorities teceived the valuable assistance of the lederal officlals and a general clean- ip campaign followed in order to stamp out every possible vestige of the disease. There was a crusade \gainst the rat and the Pled Piper of Hamlin could have done no more than Ma_rat catchers of New Orleans have =5 V=T Is it therefore surprising|. done in ridding the city of the plague carrying rodents. Yt has cost some- thing, but it Was necessary and worth it. In its efforts there is mo question but what the @ight against the bubonic plague bas resulted in such improve- ments that it has greatly bettered the heaith of that southern city in other respects. Sanitation has been put into operation with & vengeance and with capital results, and the clean-up ef- forts bave resulted in a reduction in fire insurance rates on brick mercan- tile bulldings. The city has not only bettered itself in the fight against dis- ease, but it has lessened the’possibil- itfes of fires and is & better and more wholesome city. It was an emergency which aroused Wew Orleans, but such might have' been avoided had pre- ventive measures been adopted at an earlier time. REPUBLICAN ~ REPRESENTATION. In' accordance with the approval of the plans of the national committee by the ‘republican state conventions for | °% the establishment of & new basls of Tepresentation in national conventions, announcement is given two years in advance of the next gathering by Chairman Hilles that the end which has been so long sought has finally been accomplished, By it a fairer representation is given to the voters of all sections of the country and there is removed the in- justice of the great power which has been wielded by the southern states. By the new plan there will he less delegates by 95 in the national repub- lican convention, the loss in repre- sentation falling on the island posses- sions and seven southern states. The old system was one which had been in use for many years and whatever use was made of it was that of established custom. It operated to the advantage of one no more than of another, but it was. desirable that it be overcome. By the new method the representation is based 'upon votes and not upon congressional dlstricts regaraless of the number of republican voters. The early adjustment of this ques- tion at a time sufficiently distant from a natiohal convention as to have no effect upon the candidates before it is. a cause for satisfaction. It is a change which was needed. It wasg urged in many conventions and prom- ised by the last and the announce- ment, at this time that it will govern the next permits of no complications with campaign activities. RELIEVING COTTON SITUATION. Though the cotton raisers of the south may not be able -to fully see their way out of the predicament in ‘which a large crop and a_demoralized - | market left them, it is quite evident from day to day that the situation is surely reaching an adjustment. It is requiring a little time and plenty of thought but such should be expected: Tt is by no means hopeless, but ap- proaching the solution on a safe and sane basis. Desperate efforts were made by south to shift the burden onto government. The idea was to have the United States treasury move the crop off the hands of the producers and guarantee them against loss. Such would have been as was persistent- Iy pointed out, & most dangerous pre- cedent. It would simply have been inviting a ke action by the producers of all other commodities throughout the country regardless' of the pretext for the purpose of price maintenance. The relief which is to come through the aid which can be and is Dbeing ex- tended by the bankers, and the open- ing up’of an increased foreign market at this time by the British declara- tion that cotton shipments will.not be interfered with, are of ‘material as- sistance in 1gSeting the problem. It is also the most effective way of bringing it /to the realization of the cotton growers that some immediate! regard must be paid to the matter of demand and' supply, & matter which would have received no emphasis from the, handling of the’cotton crop by | government support of the price fix- ing proposition, sl £ 000 EDITORIAL NOTES. There i3 no better time for a! polit- |ical change thdn now when the time is]| ripe. If no one has seen snowflakes there are a great many who are willing to take it for granted. At Ostend, a famons watering place, 'shells have always lined‘ the shore. ‘Now ‘they fill the alr. ‘The local democrats want no more rallies. ‘What's the use of celebrating someone else’s coming victory? ‘The attempt to assassinate Villa is one of the accompaniments of holding an important position in some coun- tries, . —_—— The man on the corner says: Tt is about time that the legion of voters hit something with the blunt end of a ballot, ‘With war all around him and earth- quakes to the south-of him is it any wonder Emperor Francis Joseph can- not sleep? The flerce manner In whith war is being waged in Europe showa how aif- ferent conditions are from what they ‘were in 1870. 3 ‘When nothing else can -move the peaceful attitude of some nations Italy and Greece find earthquake shocks have proved successful. Being eclected as a democrat by the femocrats has been & much harder eccomplishment than being elected as & democrat by the progressives. All that is needed 1s for Someone to set to music the march of the pro- gressives back to the republican party o get a brand new campalgn song.

There can be no Aoubt that the Bel- ! glans need relfef at once, but after al business depreesion and short work-| inz time here for a year or more there i{s a crying need for relief in this coun- trv also.

The best reason in the world for not heip= | A MORE OR LESS COMMON OCCURRENCE It was-late in the afterndon of what ‘had been a threatening Octoker day. I had listened to Molini's band on the Plaza and now strolled home on the long cement walk that lined the “Ate- lantic City of California.” Nursemaids passed in each direction. Resignedly they wheeled or led their tired charges; gayly trfimmed beach chairs rolled by, laden with the sick— and the lazy. In one, two large, sportily dressed men of the bulldog-jaw type, with diamond advertising from cra- vats and fingers, suffered themsalves to be perambulated by an oid man, a soldier, too proud to go to the beautiful National Home nearby. The sun played unusual capers as it slowly dipped in the ocean, and sud- denly the Yale, of the Pacific Navi- gation Co., preened herself Defore it, stood out in relief, pmndly Xfl(n the. college that bears her name, an: I came to the Turkish Bagaar. From the faces of the two attendants they had done a good business, but were preparing to close for the day. Octo- ber is between-seasons at the Southern Celifornfa watering places, but there are always the hangers-on, who buy. Thousand dollar rugs lay carelessty across chairs and divans, cases of pre- cious stones beckoned from walls and corners, and wax flgures, supporting embroidered kimonos, boudoir caps, and Irish lace creations, smiled sick- eningly from unseeing ewes. The place was restful, mysterious—treacherous. There were a few stragglers, and among them I saw Moltke, the prize- fighter, faultless in_ dress, flawless in manly physique. His trainer, a con- stant companion, was with him. Moltke, before it was known what was his calling, had been pronounced by Ethel Hayes, traveller, tourist, and well-known society girl of a large Eastern city, as the only real man on the beach; and by the Countess Sustini, who stopped at “The Crown on the Ocean Front,” as the only American she really cared to meet. But Moitke knew his place. Ho never knew anybody. He ghunned women as he did alcohol and ‘tobacco. An un- conceited Apollo, he went his way, & familiar figure on the board-walk, each afternoon. Moltke was looking LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Ruling in the Sibley Case, Mr. Editor: The ruling and opinion of the Compensation Commissioner, in the case of Sheriff Sibley, reported in the ‘Wednesday's issue of the Bulletin, 1s an excellent thing for a very worthy class of our citizens, and will benefit a large numbeér. The principal. estab- Hshed is that public officlals are em- ployees and so come wlthin the visions of the 3’ Law. True it i- thnt mAny work just as hard as those nmsd in manual labor, and when one stops to think of it, what good reasons why they too should not have the a.ld and protection of the state, county, t city or district thrown around Lbsm? Our donstables arte of oouna classed with sheriffs. A, officials like sheriffs, elected sal- arled, are within the nrovMona of the law, who can deny the e relief to assessors, board of reliet, trars of voters and selectmen? The mayor of the City of Nerwich receives the same salary as the sheriff, and if he stum- bles in his duty there may be no help for it, but if he stumbles on the court house granite steps, while in the dis- of his duty he. his widow. or 1 will recefve some consolation. ‘The members of the court of common council of Norwlich it is true receive no on the principle -of “the. less the pay the less the mul-sltu and the greater the hours,” to be barred. But this is too nmaw a view. Who ean deny that they are emplovees and work just as hard as the messengers and jainitors, and so equally entitled to the state-provid- ed insurance? Tax collectors, town clerks, registrars of voters are all in- sluded, provided of course that, they are in the line of duty. So too the Com- pensation Commissioner, the railroaa <commissioners, health officers and all other. officials. of high degree. The judges on the bench, the govkrnor and all o state officers can now move about With impunity while engaged in the duties of their offices.

' intently: at ubllc » something,-and my eyes followed his. Apparently one of the wax figures sat with its back to us, on a carved teak- wood divan near 2 wall in a dimly lighied distant corner. Something drew us nearer. From under a dainty lace breakfast cap adorned with blue ribbons, light ringlets curled: the body was covered with a loose-fitting dark raglan, under which an embroidered blue kimono showed. 3 What a strange piace; and what a strange costume for a wax figure, a dummy! But why should Moitke show such interest? I saw—the head moved, it wavered like the head of an old lady, it waggied constantly. If it were a living person I knew that DMoitke was too polite to investigate, so I decided to lead the way. I crept closer, between carved and tables, and turning, I saw the face. I shudder now as I think of it. It was as if I had lookd on the fate of a dead person, white as the paper I am writ- ing on, eyes blue and glassy. and large like those to which belladona had been applied. They were vacant, lifeless; but suddeniy s pitiful smile broke from the marble lps, and a weak voice squeaked: “Yes, I'm alive, I'm aiive;” and then a frightened look, like that of a help less child—and nothingness. Moltke had followed me, and he saw and for some strange reason it did not ocetr to either of us to &sk her if sh were sick, or any questions. After all was it our business?—and just to get away from that dreadful expression! Moltke. was speaking—there was no need for Introduction:-— “I do not understand. this—the cos- tume—and all— it i5 so strange. I have passed this emporium each day, and I have never seen a woman attendant; have you?” “Never, and I have visited here often; there is Marjorian, the propri- etor; let us see if he notices her.” - Moltke's trairer approached from the purch-.u of a useless piece of carved ivory, but his master gave him no in- formation of what he had seen. And then a woman entered the shop, a hard-faced, manish sort of a woman of foreign type, with an expanded bust, and shapely hips; her skirt was tight and Blit to show her loud clocked ankles. She approachted Marjorian, and held 2 hurried conversation with him. Then they made their way to our poor crea- ture by the wall, who sat in the same position and her head in the same way. They reached her, stood there silently a minute. Then they bent o;z{l’ her, and mhh took an arm, wi supporting her made & pretense of her walking to the door. the door in the back that gave on an unfrequented wing of the pier; up the steps they shuffied and boostél her. and into a waiting sutomobile. Then Marjorian came back for a rug, and mh up an expensive one. On his you see.” He hurried out with the rug. and we heard the engine start. Moltke spoke to his trainer. As M “You lie; she was Arugge “Ohj Effendi, T mpmn—" l(a.r]o rateed his eyes and his hands; "you make a great misuhderstanding.” Moltke could battie with the !mh of man, but not the brains or the wits of a Marjo: So I thought: bhut suddenly Moltke crossed hi: answe coolly, deliberately:— - ‘trainer snatched a motor-cveie, followed; and ‘tis chokey-zel, Ef- endl. * Your game is up.” The Countess Sustini now eats in the county Jjail, and the same hostelry. siven up society, tlement work, and things really worth not as fortunate as she. thinks Moltke the only man on earth.
