The Bulletin has the fargest circulation of any paper in East- ern Connacticut and from thre to four times larger than that of mny in Norwich. It is delivered to over 8,000 of ths 4,053 houses in Norwich, and read by ninety- three per cent. of the people. In /Windham it is d...vered 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 cix®: rural free d Dhe Bulletin is sold town on all of the R. F. D. routes in Eastern Connectisut. CIRCULATION 1901, average ............ 4412 AUTO FATALITIES. Once again is attention called by the Sunday auto accidents to groes negligence which exists among the operators of cars. At Wickford, R I three were killed and a -like number hurt when the car skidded as it was going at “high speed.” At Lincoln, Me., one death from an auto accident is reported. Four automobile accidents occurred on the streets of Worcester within an hour resulting in thres fractured skulls and injuries to others. Five were pinned under a car at Low- ell and one of the number may die, while from Detroit comes the sad story of seven members of one family being killed and one badly injured when the machine was struck by a train at a railroad crossing. It is a frightful condition of affairs when life is snuffed out in that man- _ mer, and et that is probably only a . portion of the list for that day throughout the entire country. In not ©one of the cases does it appear that the fatalities could not have been avoided. that the number of automobiles is in- creasing, but sach only calls for the proper assumption of responsibility ~ which devolves upon those who drive | them. High speed, glaring headlights, failure to take the' proper precaution at railroad crossines, incompetent drivers and the disposition to take chances fisure prominently In the causes of auto accidents, and the num- « ber is bound to increase unless thers is a rigld enforcement of the law, or & better respect for regulatioms and the penalty which recklessness in- sures. There can be no question but what a large part of the responsibil- ity rests upon the automobile drivers themselves, and it is high time that they insisted upon reforms. ok AMERICAN NEUTRALITY. Eliminating whatever political as- pect there might have been to that Vote taken in Worcester at the con- ‘vention of the allled German-American socleties of Massachusetts it is impos- sible to view the denunciation of the neutrality of this country ‘concerning Germany as anything more than gross- 1y biased. The United States”in its neutral- ity has followed the middle of the road. It has shown no favoritism | either to the allies or to the central . powers, but it has insisted upon its . rights and made representations to both sides alike when occasion de- * manded. It has declared for neutral- ~ ity, it has maintained neutrality and will continue, to do so. k. this country insisted updn reforms In Germany’s submarine pol- or because it recognized the rights ‘of the manufacturers of this country supply munitions of war to any and of the belligerents does not indi- any instance that neutrality violated. It was not the re- of this country’s stand which pro- ks Germany from taking advan- | tage of the output of American in- _ dustries, whether such output included | articles which could be used for war - purposes or not. That Germany may ® not have needed outside assistance in ‘ [ meeting requirements in war supplies - but aid not need it in others, though ted from getting them by its enemy, cannot be attributed to a ‘breach of neutrality by the United "States. If one side has had any ad- vantages in obtaining goods from this it was solely because of con- which they created themselves, American producers have stood ready to fill the orders from any purchaser _who can take them away and any Aif- culty which Germany has experienced due solely to obstructions by the ‘enemy. .To charge this country with violation of neutrality is like blam- it for the tying up of the fleet in Kiel canal. FIGHTING FOR RIGA. It is an acknowledged fact|to be. give them a port of extreme value in assisting the armies. = e o NOT SO EASILY DISCOURAGED. There were some people Who were strongly. to the construction of the Panama canal since they be- lieved it should have been located elsewhers, and there were others who insisted that it should be a sea level canal instead of being bullt with locks and these are undoubtedly the ones ‘Wwho are now talking about the aban- donment of the waterway because of the slides and the construction of a canal on the Nicaraguan route. Such péople are wasting their time in advancing such an idea. The time may come in the distant future when the Nicaraguan canal may be built, but there is not the least lkelfhood that it will be until after the Panama canal is unable to handle the -bus- iness between the two oceans. Cer- tainly the fact that slides at the Gail: lard cut have caused much trouble and at the pregent time have tempo- rarily blocked lts use does not war- rant the conclusion that the canal will be abandoned. General Goethals, the man in charge of operations there, and the engineers under him are built of different kind of stuff. They have surmounted a great many obstacles in thg bullding of the canal and there is no reason, to be- lieve but what they will be equal to the demands of this trouble. It is understood that it will take some time to remove the large amount of earth which has slid into the channel as well as the great mass which is con- stantly Qushing it along, but there is too much confidence in the ability of the government's engineers for the en- tertainment of the idea that they will not be able to overcome the difficulty in a reasonable amount of time. OUR OWN RESOURCES. ® Much interest is attached to the announcement made by Lane of the department of the interler to the effect that there nas been opened up in Utah by the geological survey a vein of mineral which will produce 99 per cent. of pure potash. ~From the extensive use which is made of potash in this country this is of much importance since it demonstrates that the German product as it was thought The discovery means that this country has uncovered some more of its resources to which it gave too little attention as long as it could be supplied by the country upon which it had come to be dependent. That it has been found that there are sources at home for supplying the domestic demand is sufficient reason for urg- ing its development. It is the same with this as it is with the question of dyestuffs. This country can produce dyestufts in suffi- clent quantity to supply the home de- mand, but it has never done so be- cause Germany has entered into such an extensive development of that field that it would bs impossible to com- pete therewith under existing tariff regulations. We have likewise de- ‘pended upon’ Germany for potash un- til the war shut off the supply. Ne- cessity has caused a looking about with most encouraging results and it is to be hoped that nothing will be allowed to stand in the way of build- ing up these industries which are so much needed here. Unless proper ree- ognition is given to it through ade- quate legislative acts small apprectn- tion will be given to the natural re- sources which this country possesses. The fact is that the time has arrived When wWe should make the most of them. EDITORIAL NOTES. The resignation of the Luxemburg cabinet simply shows that even the little fellow must have his fling.
