B i e ioad e 88 | sy (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) 1t is, I suppose, a .common:habit cf men, no matter what theirtvocations, to_*jump at conclusiona.” Probably it is no more usual among farmers than other folks. But.some- times it seems ag if the habit hurt farmers more than anybody elss. ‘We have to reckon our chances and make our plans for August and Sep- tember 'way back in Marych and April 1f we act then on wrong conchssions, hastily drawn or insufficiently verified, there is very little opportunity given us, later, to correct our mistakes. We have to take the results of our error and suffer the losses it may cause. It would seem, thinking of the mat- ter In this general way, as if it should be our sedulous care to be very sure we're right before going ahead. And I have small doubt that most farmers actually do intend to start the years out right, in accordance with the wis- est conclusions they can draw from observation and their past experience. But Nature is no respecter of good intentions. She doesn’t seem to care a snap whether we mean well or not. It's what we do, not what we intend, which she takes cognizance of. If you with perfect honesty and in eaccord with your best judgment, start your season’s farming in the wrong direc- tion, she’ll take just as much pains to see that you come cut a loser ag your neighbor who may have simply blan- dered into .the same mistake, blind- fold, What, then, are we to do? We sim- ply have to act according to our best judgment and the apparent prepon- & derance of probabilities in scores of * cases where we can't, from the very nature of the be certain.

The chairman of the regatta com- mittee who has the expenditure of the appropriation is Frank Valentine Chap- pell, one of the most public-spirited of citizens, president of the state com- mission on rivers and harbors and in charge of the construction of the big state pler at New London. Besides he is & member of one of the leading bus- iness and among the foremost of the citilzenry. It is said that Mr. Chappell is liable to bring action against Mr. Morgan for the alleged slander in referring to him indirectly as a grafter, but Mr. Chappell has also been credited with eaying that it was perhaps as well to take no legal action when the source of the allegation is taken into comsideration. It is gen- erally known that the greater portion of the small appropriation, for such an important aquatic event, s given to the Yale-Harvard crews and in the upkeep of the floats and boat houses eccording to agreement that resulted in the insuring of these races on the Thames for a long term of years. It is also known that a detafled report of the expenses is always presented by Mr. Chappell giving a strict account of every cent expended.

Such remarks, if made in such a body Connecticut legislature, would have resulted in calling the of- fender to the bar of the house, he would be given opportunity to re- tract and apologize or take the con- sequences. If Mr. Morgan is sincere in his accusations, there is a way to have investigation, but that way is not by insinuation and unparliamentary and undignified language, such as is seldom heard in such an august body as the New London court of common council. Some Yyears ago, George Morgan, a brother of the present ald: man, was a member of common coun- cil, and he was then conceded to be one of the brightest members that ever occupled a member’s chair in the coun- cll. He posed as a reformer and be- came the most popular young man in public life in the city. For the time being he really broke up the clique that then controlled municipal affairs from & political standpoint and was looked upon as the real political leader of the town. There was a time during his career in the council when he could have been elected mayor or to any other office within the gift of the people. He never made bald assertions In the council during his reform career, but was prepared to debate and back up his assertions In no unmistakable terms, ealways keeping within the bounds of parliamentary courtesy. He was a political wonder .and his politi- cal future surely did shine. But he made a political misstep, and men who opposed him took advantage and forced him over the political precipice. No man of his time was his equal in de- bate in the council and his fearless advocacy of matters that looked good to him brought him the praise of his fellow citizens, outside those who de- sired to rule local politics. But he made that political misstep, and evi- dently drilled with the wrong squad. At this same turbulent council meet- ing, when Alderman Morgan was re- moved by order of the mayor, the veto of the mayor against the payment of biils as presented by Dr. J. Torrington Black, health officer, contracted in con- nection with the recent small-pox cases, was sustained. The mayor did not object to the payment of all the bills, save that of Dr. Black for alleged extra services. But he insisted that the bills should be paid direct by city check, by the treasurer just as are ail other bills against the city, and ob- jected to the payment of a lump sum to Dr. Black and to have him act as the city’s paymaster. Division was made of the bills from the bill of Dr. Black and to the payment of these the mayor interposed no objection. He stated emphatically that the bill of Dr. Black for extra services would never be pald with his approval as acting mayor. -— The was supported strongly by Alderman Gragan who on other oc- casfons had opposed matters of the mayor's suggestion. He spoke in strong terms and declared that he believed a man’s salary should pay for his work, but if the salary was too emall he was not opposed to the increase, if cire cumstances warranted, but he was op- posed to this pay for extra services that a regular salary is supposed to cover. Alderman Small appeared as Dr. Black's advocata, but he was the man to make motion that the veto of the mayor be sustained, but did mot yield his belief that the doctor was entitled to extra pay in the small-pox cases, especially as fifteen other phy- sicians had declined to take the cases.
