TR IReRE The Circulation of The Builetin The Bulletin has the largest circulation of any paper in East- ern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses in Norwich, and read by ninety- three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is deivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100 and In all of these places it is consid- ered the local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty< nine towns, one hundred and sixty-five postoffice districts, and Bixtv rural free delivery routes. The- Bulletin is sold in every town - on all of the R. F.

Breathing places and re- creation spots are necessary for the contentment of the population and | particularly“that part of it which lives JAn emall quarters and has no place but the street to take the air, For the satisfying of the demand for parks many cities consider the expen- diture of_sizable sums to be a first class investment. A city is measured by the attention it gives to meeting such requirements. Happily Norwich ‘was. excused from the expenditure of its funds for the purchase of parks through the thoughtfulness and civic interest of many of its citizens, present and past. Through their generosity it possesses some beautiful tracts of Jand which find daily appreciation [from the many who use them. Norwich at the present time is mot suffering from the lack of parks, but *from the lack of proper transportation facilities for reaching its largest and best, in the development of which it has spent & number of thousand dol- lars. Through the attention which is glven Mohegan park each year a mag- nificent recreation ground has been established and it is time that it was brought nearer to each and every one who would like to enjoy its beauties but who are prevented through the fallure to supply the needed service. Telephos oese . MAKE IT SAFE AND SANE. The safe and sane Fourth idea gain- ‘ed widespread recognition as soon as it was realized what 2 need existed for putting into effegt just such a re- form. It has resulted in a noteworthy decrease in the number of lives sacri- ficed and an even greater change in the large list of crippled and injured. It has demonstrated over and over again the wisdom which sugsested the abandonment of the old time method of celebrating the nation’s great holi- day. A little thought given to the mat- ter quickly reveals the good, sound sense which is back of the idea. There 1s good reason for properly observing the anniversary, but nothing is gained mnd no greater patriotism is shown by the needless increase of the death S or the filling of hospitals with blind and wounded and homes with sor- row when there is no necessity for it. Sober second thought -on the day after usually discloses the folly of such practice and the safe and sane idea is to use that same sensible reasoning n advance rather than after the harm has been done. Let there be . patriotic. exercises in which there will be a general partici- pation and such other demonstrations as can be carried out with reasonable safety and a proper amount of con- sideration for the aged and sick, but let there be a. curtailment of the dan- gerous and death-inviting handling of explosives. It is well that sanity should prevail-in all things and there is as much reason that it should be applied to the Fourth of July observ- mnce as-to a SiNday school plenic, THE FRANK CASE. In spite of all-the efforts Wwhich have been made to save the life of Leo Frank the question as to whether he must go to the gallows or state pris- on for life rests with the.governor of Georgia. Every. other method has been exhausted and by the defermination of the governor to hold hearings con- cerning the appeal for commutation it 1s evidenced that he fully realizes the responsibility’ which rests upon his shoulders. ‘The Frank case has unusual features Bnd fhe very fact that it is claimed that the verdict was influenced by mob action, 80 much so that it resulted in the statement by the trial judge that he did not delleve the evidence was sufficlent to_convict, and that -Subse- quently two members of the United Btates supreme court were of the ppinion that justice had not been done accused at his trial furnish grounds the taking of the course by the malkes “4t possible to correct a mistake if, ;as It 18 claimed, such has been made. The division which existed in the report of the prison commission which had considered the commutation plea indicates again the feeling of doubt that has surrounded the evidencs from the very first. If Frank is guilty there is no question but what he should pay the penalty for the crime, but he is entitled to a fair and uninfluenced trial and with much doubt existing as to that the, governor will be justified, it as the result of his investigation he finds that the circumstances warrant the commutation. SUBMARINE PRISONERS, Tt must be recognized that the an- four of the British admiraity is based upon good judgment when it Is de- clared that hereafter the German sub- marine prisoners willsbe accorded iden- tical treatment with all other-German prisoners in England, When it was decided by his prede- cessor that less liberties and decidedly different treatment would be given those who were captured from German underwater craft such a course was based upon the idea of discouraging the submarine policy. On the contrary it resulted in severe retaliation, not upon prisoners of a similar class, but upon all English prisoners that were taken and many stories of distressing conditions have followed. Such an idea of reserving a certain class of prisoners for different treat- ment than others was properly dis- posed of by the Russians when upon the suggestion being made that cap- tured aviators who threw bombs on defenseless places should be put to death, it was held that such men were simply the instruments of others who were far more guilty. They were but the servants of their superiors and in- asmuch as the penalty could not be applied where it belonzed the prisoners should not be made to pay it. Great Britain simply invited retalia- tion when it announced its plan for submarine crews and it received it in full measure. The decision which has now been reached to abandon that course s therefore only what should have prevailed at the start. MISSED ELEMENTARY FACT. The country needs be thankful that it was not formed to bear the humilia- tion which would have been forced upon it had the president been dis- posed to listen to and be gulded solely Dby Mr. Bryan. Personal ambitions and convictions which were not based upon the facts in the matter have been put forward by the ex-secretary of state and he showed no disposition to pass judgment upon the actual case that Was before him. If Mr. Bryan had any following at all which was secured through the de- sire for peace at any price and from the wrong impression which his action and statement gave as to the tenor of the note, it must now have disappeared entirely. Even to his friends Mr. Bry- | an must be a colossal disappointment, In this connection the Springfield Republican well says: “Mr. Bryan's general attitude, indeed, is destructive of the established rights of neutrals in favor of the claims of belligerents to do as they please. The essence of neutrality fs to insist on neutral rights, If certain neutral Tights are surren- dered for the benefit of one side In a war that very act becomes flagrantly unneutral in ‘the eves of the other side in the war. We cannot abandon the rights of neutral Americans on the high “seas, whether they are wealthy passengers or plain sailors, so as to facilitate the German submarine oper- ations without letting the very bot- tom drop out of our neutrality alto- gether. It now appears that Mr. Bryan was secretary of state during ten months of the greatest war in history without grasping this elementary fact” More and more does it thus become apparent that by his resignation the administration has overcome a serious embarrassment. EDITORIAL NOTES. There is nothing pessimistic- about. the new crop estimate. It is only a few days since Mr. Bryan was urging the people not to “rock the boat.” i, S The water board appears to be the rock on which democracy: splits every. chance it gets. Well, Mr. Bryan has the satisfaction of knowing that he was the cause of “ad interim” being added to the mote. There are good reasons why that $48,000,000 stock dtvidend has not been included in the list of automobile jokes, Nothing better than the comment throughout the country ‘shows how sol- idly the people stand back of the pres- ident. The man on the corner says: De- cency pays, but some people expect it to earn about 75 per cent. on the/in- vestment. President 'Wilson has been accused of possessing a one track mind, but it is true that he has full control of the deralling switch. Germany’s new attitude on the Frye case would indicate that it wanted to take advantage of that think-over-it- a-vear suggestion, Speak about Old Nick and he is sure to show up, it is said, but that does not always work when setting a pic- nic date this season, Mr. Bryan probably realizes by this time at least that running the Balti-] more convention was a sinecure com- pared to the cabinet. From the revelations which-are dally/ ‘being made at Annapolis it is evident that the conditions existing there were uncovered none too soon. B o T The more excuses Bryan makes the less is his position understood.

THE MAN WHO TALKS A prince once asked a peasant.what his occupation in life was, and the peasant replled: “It is minding my own business.” An ordinary person would have gone into a huff and called the reply impertinent; but there is no evidence the prince did. He doubt- less was aware it is because people do not mind their own business' that more than half the conflicts in life arise. Minding one’s own Dbusiness would lessen friction in every direction and take out most of life’s squeaks and squawks! It requires skill to mind one’s own business, for Suspi- cion must be kept aloof and Curiosity must be held down. When we engage in such a tussle we have to mind our owr business because we haven't time to mind what any one else is doing Many people mistake good advice for impertinence, especially when the ad- vice sinks deep in the waters of their comprehension. This is why children are occasionally whipped when they deserve to be praised, Josh Billings was wise enough to know nature furnished puzzles for man because it was necessary for man to have puzzles. He stated the fact ac- curately when he wrote: “Nature luvs mysterys. It is the mystery uv natur that makes mankind respektful. If natur showed all the keerds she held in her hand most everybody would think they could beat her. But natur makes us guess at about 1-2 we know, and then laffs at us in her sleeves be- kause we don't git it right” If we could figure on nature just about right, results would be too sure and life too monotonous. It fsn’'t enough to keep the' tillers of the soil hoeing, but they must be kept guessing. She seems to realize that if-man knew the whys and the wherefores of her work he would be likely to get lazy and “sas: Man is hampered a great deal in life by the results of his own foolishness. While we are busy weaving the web of life we might bear in mind that the weakest stay represents the full strensth of the web. None of us seem to have the power to weaeve with lines of equal strength and firmne: and we do not feel satisfied with it when we look it over. As unsatisfactory it looks, we know it is ours; but if we have woven into it all the affection, kindly acts, truth and sunshine we can command, it may be that the side of the web-of life we do not see shows up a spiritual brightness and beauty to the angels which bodes well for us. Not being perfect ourselv it is not strange that none of us can do a perfect work. These little glistening threads of the web of life of which we have made the least account m: be the means of our lvation. ye do it unto the least of these ye do it unto me,” lends force to this poor picture of Hope. Patience and sweetness and kindliness and trust give strength to the web of life. When we think that “Charity t eth no evil” it becomes rather fieult for us'to think we are charitable. Charity with some people is just giv- ing a slice of very stale bread to a tramp with a lump of athletic but- ter upon it! Some think they are quite charitable if they pass a chec ing word to the discouraged, or let a humble brother behold theif approv- ing smile. 1 mistrust what we proudly think we are, usually we are not Along beneficent lines we are satisfled with meagre standards. We take too much pride in the things which cost us neither pounds, shillings nor pence, nor energy, patlence or personal sac- rifices. Throwing a surplus dollar to 2 begzar and calling him a lout seems like charity %o the rich, when it is really sharing with the poor your lim- ited supply’ of bread and pitying him because of his misfortunes without righteously cross-examining him. The atmosphere of a charitable person can never.‘be less than heavenly. May tosscd a cold wave over upon June ina wanton way and we shivered When usually we sweat.

It doesn't take u iong to answer the inquiry: “What i rarer than a day in June?’ A shi sleeves first of January! When the days are long and the nights short w do not enjoy frosty mornings. June's refreshing greens are as inspiring to the mind as October's gorgeous colors, but_they do not thrill us so much in a chilly atmosphere. When the roses lend their beauty and fragrance to the air may June be herself once more. This saying from Ruskin comes home to us Wwith force in the present condition of the mations of Christen- dom: “Nothing is ever done beauti- fully which is done in rivalry; or no- bly Wwhich is done in pride.” How many millions of men are now battling to show that might is right when the world has been divinely shown that right is might? It has been impres- sively said: “No man has a right to do as he pleases except when = he pleases to do right” The fears of men are driving nations today mot to their destiny but to the devil. Bancroft was not blind to the truth that “the fear: of one class of men are not the meas. re of the rights of another clas ‘Where is God?” you ask. If men let Him into their hearts instead of hold- ing Him on their tongues, no such con- ditions as confront the nations today could exist. The Father of us all has Deen trying to make us understand for ages that what man loves shapes him, If man loved God as he loves himself and greed he would make of this world a paradise. It would be well if a better know- ledge of freedom was to be obtained in the school-life of republics. What per cent. of the citizens of this free country can give a good definition of the freedom of which we boast? One- half the_people do not know the dif- ference between freedom and license. Charles Kingsley pointed out that there are two kinds of freedom—the false, where @ man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought. “The only free- dom which deserves the name,” sald J. S. Mills, “is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to ob- tain it Thers is nothing more wide of the mark—more abused in this coun- try than freedom of speech. Cowper called attention to the fact that “he is free whom the truth makes free, and all are slaves beside.” It is true none are more hopelessly enslaved than those Who falsely believe they are free. This is an age when all that is plain is given a back seat, and it is not strange the women who keep in step with style haye to devote most of their time to it.

It seemeq strange to hear a woman say once, “My brother and I never dared to say we had forgotten any- thing! If we did, my father puniehed us. He said we had no business to forget!” { On the face of it, one might call this pretty severe discipline. But reflec- tion would suggest that the father's method was intended to inculcate at- tention, to correct carelessness. Perhaps thers is no better friend in this busy world than a retentive, re- liable memory; and every student of mental philosophy s assured that this faculty can be cultivated, improved by excrcise, Just as a set of muscles can. There are those who hold that emy fact or object which once comes within one’s sphere of consnciousness is in- stantly photographed on the film of memory, there to remain whie life lasts. It may not be consciously re- called; but by some mysterious men- tal process, some time, some day, in some unaccountable fashion, it will be brought to mind again. Tt is as though the mind were a great store-house, a vast lumber-room, in which countless objects are piled haphazard. You visit the place, and at first v8u cannot make out the ancient desk, we will say, for which you are look- ing; for the reason that it is hidden behind a tall wardrobe, that lot -of broken, spindle-legged chairs from great grandfather's living room, the oaken chests and hair trunks, and long-ago what-nots, dusty books and tarnished picture frames, and the rest of the truck which typical attics hold. But suddenly something comes up and by peering ’round the towering heap of nondescript thinngs in the discard, you spy the quaint desk which jou seék. You may not have seen it since babyhood; but, through that process of comparison which, we are told, is knowledge, you are instantly awdre that it is the same desk and no other! So it is with memory. A stranger meets another stranger in a strange city, miles from the home of either. Something wakes in the mind of one. He ps es, turns back, calls to the surprised individual who is hastening in the opposite direction. “I beg your pardon—but aren't you John Blank, and didn’t you once live in Blanktown?” etc. etc. There 1s a joyful greeting, evemts and circum- Stances forgotten by both for perhaps half a century are recailed in a flash. They were the ancient desk, hidden back of the new experiences and du- ties and friendships of all the inter- vening years! As with humans, so with animals— only faunal students tell us that ani- mals never forget. That a trick or habit or duty once taught them will never pass from their memory. There is a story of a little red school- House in the Maine hills, to which a boy was accustomed to take a pet bear ich his father had rescued af- mother had been shot. The awkward animal played about at re- cess with the children, sat with them at noon and shared the good things from the dinner baskets which they had brought from their distant homes. One day, after the cub had grown up, he suddenly disappeared in the woods near his owner's home, and not re- turning, was in time forgotten. The school children of that era grew up, t00, but the red schoolhouse stayed right on, and always had about the me number of pupils.

The teacher was frightened, but she hurried to. protect the youngest of the children. : But the bear did not aftempt to harm them. He scuffed up to the big stove warmed himself and then glided along to the row of hooks back of the door where the pupils hung their hats and wraps and mittens and shinny sticks and skates. He rummaged baci tof these, pulling down one dinner Dbasket after another, pawing and nos- ing out the good things which the little folks’ mothers had “put up” for their mid-dey lunch. ‘The wondering children watched him as he stood there and ate doughnuts and_apples and pleces of pie and pickles and sandwiches, till they thought he must certainly have the stomach ache. When he had stuffed himself, he shuffled out as he had come, and, relieved of their terror, they ran to the windows to watch him as he waddled off into the woods. That bear had a good memory. He had forgotten the little boys and girls who played with him Wwhen he was a cub, but he not forgotten the dinner basikets! A mule in Ansonia was used for years to draw a cart in the yard of one of the bi gfactories. The very first dey after he was sold to a man who was to use him for street peddling, he stopped short the minute the whistle sounded for noon. Nothing would budge him, until some one had the bright idea of feeding him. He was accustomed to dine promptly and remcmbered the whistle signal. Authorities on mental philosophy will tell us that to remember well we must first of all give attention, that Tepetition Is a great help, and that re- ying upon the mind’s power to re- member—i. e. trusting to memory—is another condition of remembrai Hence, too, great dependence on Writ- ten memoranda is unfavorable to good habits of remembering. It is told that one of the ablest lawyers in New York City, one with a big practice ,never kept a memorandum of the cases in hand; yet such was the strength of his memory that he never failed to at- tend to a case at the appointed time. The memory can be strengthened in various ways. Sometimes a thought will flash into the mind without any apparént connection with any other thought. The philosophers advise an effort to recall the links in the chain of thought, apt to pass so quickly “that we do not not realize their presence. ‘Wonderful instances of memory are cited. Ben Johnson tells us that he could repeat all he had ever written end whole beoks that he had read. Themistocles could call by name the 20,000 citizens of Athens. Niebuhr, the historian of Rome, in his youth was employed in a public office in Den- mark. Part of a book of accounts ha ing been destroyed, he restored it from his recollection. There are many strange cases of un- conscious memorizing, one of the most remarkable being that of a maid In Germany, who, in extreme illness, as- tonished 'all by repeating passages of Greek, Latin and Hebrew, although she was known to have no acquaint- ances with those languages. It was found that in youth she had been em- ployed in the family of a professor Wwho was accustomed to repeat aloud, while walking in his study, passages from his favorite authors. Working in the adjoining room, the girl uncon- sciously absorbed the phrases, although never conscious that she had memor- ized them. Since the soul is a tablet from which nothing that is written is ever erased, as Wayland the philosopher remarks, “He who reads a corrupting book for pastime may thoughtlessly lay it down, supposing that in a few days, all the images which it has created will have final undoing.” just ' before ‘THE DICTAGRAPH. Sunday Morning Talk - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE From the deck of the sinking Lu- sitania came words -that plerce the blackness of that_tragedy as with & streak of light. Said Charles Froh- man, theatrical magnate, to 3 fri the ship went down: “Why should I fear death? most beautiful adventure in life.” boat saved the friend, but Mr. Froh- man’s body only after his spirit had gone on high adventure he faced with such courage. The incident recalls the remark brave Sir Humphrey Gilbert who a stormy night centuries ago shoul cheerily across the rail of his little ship “Squirrel” as she sank beneath the waves, “Be brave my friends! are as near heaven on the sea as on the land.” To salute the King of Terrors in this courageous way is victory indeed. 1t is to defy the last enemy of man- kind. It is to take the ultimate ad- Venture in the spirit of the conqueror. From many points of view death is not an enemy but a friend. When, for instance, the body has = been wounded or weakened, when physical suffering is seen to be the inevitable portion of a human belng death is the welcome door into peace. It is kindly nature’s way out of an im- possible situation. How many agoniz- ing men on the red battlefields and in the hospitals of Europe yearn for death as watchers wait for the-morn- ing! The last words of Sir Walter Ral- eigh were striking and true words. Looking down from the scaffold upon his_enemies and his friends, he re- marked of the executioners axe, “It is a sharp medicine but is is a sure cure for all diseases” When the sheriff, with ghastly courtesy, asked if his head fitted comfortably into the hollow the block, Raleigh an- swered, “It matters not how the head les if ‘only the heart be right.” Death, moreover, 1s the gateway out of present mystery and into light. Charles Kingsley said that he looked forward to it with intense curiosity And for a more modern instance tak the case of a certain famous clubman whose wit did much to enliven metro- politan_soclety of a few years back. When he was told he was about to die he exclaimed heartily, “How interest- ing.” To seek death, to court it is the part of the coward or of the fool. But to meet without flinching the pale horse and his rider when they appear is the part of the hero. Dying is, after all, a great privilege. Everyone ought to be glad that we have not to 80 on eternally in this present incom- pleteness of experience. Our hope is in better world to which death shall introduce us. St. Francis of Assissi, in his_wonderful “Canticle of the Sun” included a_clause which may be rung out jovouslyq by human lips as well as by the saints in light: Praised be God for our sister, the death of the body. It is the echo of the Apostle' word, "To die is gain.” THE PARSON Humiliated Hounds. ‘The humiliation of the bloodhound was completed when Arkansas baen- dits stole and sold the pack that had been set on their trail.
