P munitles now which have a number of cases of the disease which might have avolded such had they taken the pre- cautlons which others have and start- ed in to see that the'disease was not brought Into their limits from the af- flicted cities. Thus it must be epparent that such complaints as may be registered about the prevention of childron from solng freely from one city to another, the delay in the opening of schools and the insistence upon a strict observance of such quarantine regulations as the authorities consider necessary are en- tirely unjust. There may be much Inconvenience caused by such action but it is a move in behalf of safety and none can appreclate it more than those communities which now find a number of cases of the disease in heir midst through the failure to take prompt and ction at the be- inning. 1The Circulation of iThe Builetin The Lulletin. &#as ihe Greuiation 92 any paper in Tastern Genaacticut and from tbree to four timer, larger than that of any i Norwich.

When the postmaster general makes the statement that his department has |€s o a surplus of between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 this year and adds that this demonstrates that at least the pos service is on a strong and sel porting basis, and urges the continua- tion of effciency and the eliminat of extravagance that as the res this showing one cent letter postaze may be inaugurated he apparen siders that the country through his eyes at the which he refers to. The postoffice depart this government not for profit but for service to the people and before there is anything done in the way of in- troducing such a reform as he re- fers to it might be well to sound the people of the count to what they think of efciency which has brought about the alleged surplus. Instead of launching out Into such « field as the one cent letter rate it might bo wise for the postoffice de- partment to devote such funds as 1 has avaflablo to bring the cxisting service up to the requirements. The people are paying for what they re- celve In this direction and it s pre- ferable that the service which 1s being offered at the present time should be improved and some of the existing shortcomings be removed before there Is eny thought of changing the rates. It 1s better to do well what is attempt. ed than to do too much which is un- satisfactory, and not meeting the ro- quirements. is ITALY AND GERMANY AT WAR. The only surprising thing in con- nection with the declaration of war b Ttaly against Germany is that it w made before. It is now two years since the war broke out and 15 months since Italy pulled away from the triple alliance and declared war upon Austria, the same action being later taken against Turkey. Thouzh warring against its allies Italy h: refralned from an actual break with Germany and even though a state of war virtually existed Germany con- tinued to take advantage of the com- mercial treaty which it had with Italy though the latter had requisitioned most of the German vessels which had been interned in Italian ports. Though fighting Austria for months there has never been a clash betweer the German ana Italian armies, but recent developments, with the send- ing of Germans to take charge of the defense of Trieste and the reinforcing of the ailied forces at Saloniki with Itallan troops, have Indicated that this could not be long de- layed and the break which has now been openly declared is only what has been forecasted. It is a step which Germany has made the hardest kind of efforts to prevent. It makes avallable the large Itallan army which Italy has not been able to utilize in its operations and in view of its re- gard for Italian example and advice it Indicated that it is bound to have the desired influence in bringing Ru- mania into the war, which Germany bas worked equally hard to prevent.* THE PENALTY OF DELAY. Much has been said, since the epi- demic of infantile paralysis broke out in New York and spread to such an alarming extent, sbout the measures which have been taken to prevent an oven greater number of cases. It 1s un- questionably true that the opportunity for the Lest preventive work was dis- regarded by not seeing that the sani- tany sonaitions of cities were what they be, but fopsmuch as the plague ‘Bean invited by such laxity it was to take steps Which wouid it es quickly end effectively as i such measures , which have forth opposition.

The conditions in the past two vears have shown that there is need of devolop- 5 this industry in the United States d that it cannot be done unless there is legislative action which will give it the proper amount of pro- tection so that whatever capital is de- voted to its upbuilding will not be in Putam and Daalelson to u\'eri'“’ ed when the foreign competition > former house leader in his op- position to this tariff provision takes hjs stand because “if President Wil- son should be defeated in the ap- proaching election and next March the republican congress should take up the task of pr 2 a new tariff bill, republican senators would ask him why he should object to the rates of duty that they proposed when he had supported tho rates in the dye- stuffs clause now in the bill.” Under such a state of aff: he wouid be in a bad predicament, but why should he oppose either under a democ administration or repub- lican control a protective measure which is necessary for the weifare of the country? The senator doesn’t place himself in a ve orable light d which he has taken.

With Italy and Rumania making declerations of war, it appears to be Greece's move next. As long as there are any armenians left the Turks will not have to go fa to find somebody to lick. The man on the corner say: e guns speak the same language hatever nation is back of them. The goose that laid the golden egs | appears to have a close rival in the New York hen that yielded a dlamond ring. With all the tie contests in the Eu- n war, it looks like an excellent opportur to ring in some double headers. Germany is about to float its ffth ar loan. That is one thing it is not afraid to launch in fear of a British submarine. With the further gains of the Rus- sians in Galicia, it looks as if they were gradually finding the path in the Carpathians. With footwear up and the tonsorial artists threatening to advance rates, it looks like another effort to make both ends meet. What has become of the feilow who promised to put on the market a liquid for the operation of automo- biles which would cost only a cent a gallon? Until schools are opened in New York there are to be schools of in- structions for the teachers. They ought to obviate the necessity of vis- iting and convention days throughout the. year. Shackleton has started on his third attempt to rescue those of his expe- dition who were left on Elephant Is- land, and it is hoped that success will crown his efforts and that party will be found alive. That western congressman who in- sists on airing the North Pole dis- covery again may be in earnest but he is wasting a lot of valuable time which ought to be devoted to more important things. Now General von Tirpitz s call- ing on Germany to abandon its prom- ises agaln to resume the U boat warfare with all the old time ferocity and break with the United States. 1t begins to look as if the old general considered conditions desperate. ‘mother in “This is an unjust world,” brillianly announced the girl who likes to talk. “I¢ virtue wants to be rewarded it has to get out with a sledge hammer and demand its rights! I am moved to this cmotion by what befell Alta and Genevieve!” “Get it over With” begged the un- willing listener. “Alia_lives in the house north of me,” ruthlessly proceeded the girl who likes to talk, “while Genevieve resides just south of me. If you stood them up, side by each, there would be ex- actly as many persons declaring Gen- evieve was the prettier as there would be other persons shouting for Alta. My private opinion is that any girl of 18 who has not been in a railway accident and had her face smashed in, is bound to be pretty. Any 18 year older who achicves downright home- liness has to work awfully hard to get it. “Well, owing to the war, sunspots and the failure of the vanilla crop in South America both Alta and Gen- evieve’s families have been without maids this summer. When a house- hold is without a maid it means that the ladies of the residence have to roll up their sleeves and dig in. “That's the point—Genevieve joined dally grind and Alta funked—oh, not openly, just artisti- cally. “‘Oh, are you doing the dishes, mother dear?
