citizens Of the parish as their open
ents and have as much right to BE- re-
presented by the Board?
We think it unreasonable for any
one to have expected the members Of
the Board to do anything but remain
neutral; as servants Of the whole peo-
pie they are not presumed to ally
themselves with lotteries, cliques Of
factions, and they are rather to be
congratulated upon their manly and
impartial position, than censured and
classed as conspirators.
They have demonstrated their real
worth as men, citizens and officers by
refusing to become victims of petit
FORGERY, and the right thinking ele-
ment Of the people will laud them for
it. The malicious mind that framed
che ~scurrilous charge of conspiracy
need have no hope that the better
class Of our citizens will be beguiled
into BELIEVING that there is the slight
est foundation for the accusation il
truth or in fact; they know the ac-
cused and they know the ~accusers.

But che authorities do not STOP

proprietors to screen their premises

trine Of sanitation,
Of course, in the cities, a regularly
organized force Of sanitary police en-
force the laws. In the smaller cities
the health-preserving rules are looked
after by State officers.
In connection with this campaign,
it is interesting to note that those
years in which a vigorous and care
ful campaign was waged against these
winged pests showed a greatly de-
creased death rate and q most COM
forting and encouraging decrease IN
the number of deadly diseases.
Several of the larger cities have
stringent anti-weed ordinances, which
make it a crime to permit the growth
of weeds under penalty of fine and
Imprisonment. II some places the
weeds must be cut when five inches
tall. In others greater latifude ID ner-
mitted.

change IDEAS with others, and thus d
uniform system of defense against
disease is being gradually worked out.

The written motion filed on behalf

It must have been known to the
trainers of this motion that none of
these gentlemen would stoop to such
an act as that charged and that there
did not exist the slightest evidence
upon which to base so serious an ac-

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

The resolution of congress submit ting to the legislatures of the states a proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the levy of federal in crease tax. was sent to the house of the general assembly by Governor Weeks on Thursday and was referred to the committee on federal relations.
 There is nothing new about such a tax, and 1t is a means of raising rev enue which is popular with the people. for the simple reason that they cannot sac why a large income for personal services should not be taxed as well as similar value in property, which cannot be concealed. No tax operates perfectly, hence the inability to learn of the incomes of citizens and to fully and justly tax them all is no barrier to the passage of such a law. The fact that by final investment the larger part of this money becomes subject to a tax levy of some kind. is no argument again@t the measure.
 It is a republican measure and should have the support of a repub- lican legislature. It is to- be hoped that the Connecticut legislature will support the amendment by adopting the resolution. It is a fair and just tax and The Bulletin knows of no reason why the resolution should not be passed that the way may be made legal ts tax incomes If necessary.

rHE NEW SUNDAY LAW.

If the old Sunday law has served the state well for two centuries why should we need a new one?
 If there was not money as well as excitement in Sunday sports is it prob able that there would be such per- sistent effort for a new law?
 And now Connecticut is said to be about to pass a new 2oth-century law which has a hole in it large enough for Sunday open-air sports to crawl through.
 While it provides that 'no person shall keep open shop, warehouse. me chanical, mercantile or manufacturing E establishment or engage in any sports, secular business or labor except work such as is required for the mainte- nance of public order. the preservation or promotion of health or safety or is necessary for the general welfare of the community" and declares that whoever shall violate the provisions of this act, between the hours of 12 o'clock Saturday night and Sunday night at F o'clock, shall upon con- viction be fined not more than $50 or imprisoned in the county jail not less than SO days, or both," the New Ha- ven Leader calls attention to the fact that the phrasing of the section with "the preservation or promotion of health or safety, or is necessary for the general welfare of the community fixes an open door which will ulti- mately result in "a continental Sun day.
 It is predicted that this law win not get the endorsement of both houses, and it should not. There seems to be license enough under the old law; and Sunday freedom doesn't seem to De restricted enough to call for any new or more liberal enactment.

FoR A eLANKET BALLOT.

The New Haven Register calls the attention of the general assembly to the fact that it is in danger of mix ing up our voting regulations. It says "A few years ago the state passed an amendment permitting the use of the voting machine. and several of the largest cities of the state have already adopted it. Now the legislature, or af least the house, passes with hardly any opposition a bill that the Austra- Han ballot shall be effective in this state after next January"
 There does not appear to be any real good reason for this constant tinker ing of our voting laws. The simple ballots now in use are as good as any ever devised, and create as little con- fusion among the electors as any form now in use. The Australian blanket ballot is no improvement, and The Register is right when 1t asks: Is the house in league with the makers of the voting machines ?' and declares that "The Asstrai3ar ballot will be a splendid means of driving the peop Of Connections tho more general adoption of machines"

A WESTERN woMAN's WALK.

on Wednesday Mrs. H. c. Schneider of St. Louis started on 1,200-rnile walk east and expects to reach Bos- ton about the 18th of September She is a somewhat noted local walker and in entering the lists of long distance walkers she feels capable of doing more than 25 miles day. She is de- scribed as pretty young woman, who has been in training some time and who is capable of doing better than schedule time. It will be quite novl city for Boston to receive a western woman who has covered 1,200 miles, and the Hub is likely to give her a hearty welcome. She has chosen a good city to terminate her walk in. and she will find on her arrival cool atmosphere and plenty of entertain ment. Connecticut will be interested enough to note when Mrs. Schneider passes through on her way to sthe Hub"

tNNE mNnR If* A*NAkR 0 r3&%Is Everybody cannot live up to the principles of protection when they be- lieve in it any more than they can live up to their religious principles. The tariff has always been nettling issue among congressman. We all re- member Jerry Simpson of Kansas, the sbckless representative. an agitator of more than ordinary vim. We'll the Kansas City Journal has this, among other "reminiscences being printed by him:
 "A republican happened to look in to fxhe father of the tariff bilrs hat and said to me Jerry, go over and look into Dingiey's hat I did so. but did not find any eggs. was told to look again. I did. and saw the word Lon don,s and sailed into DinBiey, the high priest of protection, for wearing a London made hat. I was in fun, but
 Dingley took the matter very serious
 ly. and spluttered and fumed and de-
 clared It's ali rot He said the hat was made in Connecticut and that
 London was put in it to catch the 'dudes.' Then I said: Well, caught
 a dude from Maine with it. He wouldn't speak to me for month aft
 CT that. One day I went up to him
 and said: See here, Dingley, how
 much longer are you going to sulk
 about that old hat business7' He
 laughed and put out his hand. and we
 became good friends again"
 A1ids congressmen are looking into
 hats or coats. and jibing one another
 over what they see today, as they did
 in Dingley's. time. and not a few are suiking, but they will become good
 friends again when the wordy war is
