r Taft Meets Correspondents.
President Taft met rs representa-

widest publicly of the tariff making,
but y he would not agree to report
progress day by day during the con-

dent is that he will not talk with the
conferees through the newspapers,
but that he is talking to them, and
will continue to talk to them di-
rectly. ,E.,.. fe,.-. red. o.. ,....
The president is much encouraged
over the situation. The members of
the conference committee with whom
he has talked have indicated a will

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
An Exception Taken.

Mr.. Editor:-In the last ingtallment
of George T. Bromley's charming rem
iniscences of his long life certain stric-
lures upon foreign missionary work as
observed by him in North China call
for a rejoinder. No traveller who cares
to take the slightest pains need have
any trouble in discovering scores of
genuine Christian Cinnamon in ard
about every well organized mission.
Tientsin and Chefu are no exceptions.
Half hundred thickly settled villages
in the district Of Tientsin have each
their vigorous bands of "pious'' men
and women organized into branch
churches.
No missionary with common sense
and Christianity enough to deserve the
name could ever assert that in fifteen
years he had never seen a Chinaman
who was truly converted to Christian
ity. / had not been three days in
Tientsin before l saw scores Of men
and women who were soundly convert
ed Christians. / am personally ac-
quainted with a great many. Seven
years of missionary residence in North
China fixed forever my conviction that
evangelistic, educational. medical and
industrial missions are emphatically
successful.
The Boxer outbreak of 1900 tested
and proved the sincerity of thousands
of Chinese Christians won to a higher
life by the direct or indirect instru-
mentality of missions. Mr.. Bromley's
skepticism with regard to the convert
ability of the Chinaman cannot stand
the light of the facts.

ALL EYES ON SEATTLE.

For a ifty-year- city. Seattle is
an American wonder, and in the next
few months 1t is to be in the limelight
and after that it is likely to take on
new energy and grow faster than
ever.
The ost-Intelligencer Of that city
says concerning business there for
May: 1.-THE building permits issued
during the month called for an ex-
penditure of $1,590,045. an amount
$5S5,7S3 in excess Of the building rec
ord for May, 1908. Besides. the per
mits issued during the first five
months of the year called for a total
expenditure of ss,514.125, a sum near
ly 100000 In excess of the amount
involved in building activities during
the first five months of last year.
Bank cIearings in May reached a
totel of $4S,049,612, the largest total
for any spring month in the history
of the city, and an increase of So per
cent. over May, 1909. Indeed. only
twice before, in October, 1905, and
October. 1907, have the clearings for
any month equaled the total of clear
ings for May, 1899. The total clear
ings for the first five months of the
current year was $206, ,697, against
S154,365,s7o in 1908, $197,6s1,571 in
1907, and $190,665,234 in 1867
These evidences Of substantial prog
ress leave no doubt that the men of
Seattle are all right or that the wheels
of industry are spinning there.

you put on a tariff so low as to allow
foreign goods to come in and compete
with ours, you do not protect the

allow these goods to come in at all,
at any price. Horace Greeley once
said: 1.-THE way to resume is to re-

A LABEL NEEDED.

The tobacco growers of this state
are seeking protection from those who
put an inferior leaf upon the market
as the real thing, and they ask that
the legislature will enact a law
requiring all Connecticut leaf tobacco
to be plainly labelled "Connecticut,"
but the packers are opposed to it,
and the committee on agriculture has
reported against it. The Providence
Journal reads true when 1t says "the
United States produces more tobacco
than any other country in the world,
and Connecticut shares with Florida
the leadership for wrapper leaf. Yet
the state name lie quite unfamiliar to
the average consumer. The growers
claim that inferior tobacco from other
sources is brought into the state by
the packers and goes out under the
good name of Connecticut leaf" 1t is
strange that an adverse report should
be made upon such good protective
provision as this appears to be.

WHAT is A PLue7

This question is readily answered
here. for once upon, time all Beach
pond trotters were plugs pure and
simple. A plug is a poor old. worn
out horse. and there are plenty of them
in eastern Connecticut.
The horse is the worst abused do
nestle animal there is and a plug is
what remains after the animal has
been brought to stage bordering up
on the last ditch. The manager Of a
big business concern has said that
he no longer tries to purchase good
horses, because the drivers would mis-
treat them, and make plugs" Of them,
anyway. This is a terrible indict-
ment. We know Of case where a
man starved the team he was driving
and sold the feed for a couple of
drinks. We know of case where a
man worked team all day, fed them
and then rented them out to work all
night, and kept it up till the horses
were skeletons.
Note the drivers on the streets who
strike horse to start him, who thrash
him to make him run, who beat him
when he stunbles or makes an error

Of dissatisfaction. There had been
something lacking in the visit. Per-

was so troubled that the next day he
again sought her.

off with crisp neatness, "but I don't

She turned away with an air of
