For many years, the status of jour nalism-whether or not it should be chased as a profession-has been a disputed question, but journalists have not generally participated in the dis csussion, being content with the sub- stance and caring little about the shad- ow. MT. Pulitzer of the N. Y. World, may however, be classed as an excep- ton, having given $1,000, ,00O to Colum- bia college for the institution of a School of Journalism"
 ,President-elect Taft has now settled the moot question. In his address at Philadelphia, Monday he designated five professions, religion, pedagogy, medicine, law and journalism, but he qualified the last named by chasing the ''purveying and sale of news" as a business, while conceding that writing on ''the highest plane is a profession. Whether or not newspaper writing is on ''the highest plane becomes the question for consideration, now that so high an authority has included a quail flied journalism among the professions. The newspapers will probably listen with complete equanimity to the de- bate, being fully content, as above said with the substance and not aspir- ing to the shadow.

The Republican bosses in the Senate do not intend that any of the new Senators, most of whom favor tariff revision downward, shall have a hand in the committee consideration of the tariff bill to be reported by the House committee on Ways and Means at the extra session of Congress, called for March 18th. They have, therefore, voted to continue the present commit tees during the extra session, which bars out the new members until the regular session in December. This dextrous bit of trickery, which perpe- trates gross injustice upon the new ly-chosen Senators, leaves the matter of tariff revision, primarily so far as the Senate is concerned, in the hands of the stand pat committee on Finance with Aldrich at it's head.

"A MERRY WAR;"

The discussion as to whether or not Senator Brandegee should continue his endeavors to exterminate the support CTS of MT. Hill in the recent Senator ial contest, is still in progress. It Sentinel that the deliberate beheading of enemies is not illegitimate, the Hartford Courant commented there upon by saying, mo olive branch dip- ped in mo1asses about this,'' to which Che Sentinel rejoined that
 The "Courant'' must remember that it sanctioned the beheading process in the case of MT. Brandegee, and it should not object now to his using the same methods which it operated, un- Successfully, in both it's news and edi- Norfal columns. A few weeks ago, it's peosram was anything to behead 8rAndegee," but to-day 1t looks upon the political guillotine as gruesome. It 4s rather late in suggesting molasses. ' Rrow, the Waterbury Republican which supported Brandegee, tells him Ahat
 Hs ought to cut out retaliation, cut out heheading his enemies, cease to play politics. and, remembering only that he has been legally elected a Unit cd States senator from Connecticut for mo coming six years, go on endeavor- ing to attain to the measure of what sa senator should be. In beheading en- erafee he may lose also friends. Six years isn't so far away and voters hxve long memories.
 To which advice. the Norwich Bull Ie4in responds, in the Senator's behalf.
 Senator Brandegee will appreciate the kindly soIicitude the .tRepublican" fs n1anifeSting for his future, and will not fail to note this evangel of peace warns him of retaliation in the sweet auy and by. It is often the case that the most pacific advisers make the most fractious antagonists-it is so much easier to see what the senator should do than what we should do our- selves. Senator Brandegee is doing nothing misunderstanding unex- pected to his foes.-Asl the world goes he is acting human and the Bulletin" sees no reason why he should be ad- vised or be afraid.
 The Bulletin standing, as it were, in the relation of 'in loco parents" to the Senator, its statement may be con- strued as a Justification of his war up- on the Hill men. as a defiance of re- taliation six years hence, and as an assertion that the war will continue to the bitter end.
 The most recent outcropping of the war was the interference of the Sem ator in the Bridgeport City Court con- test which is not, however, to be car- ried to the point of a personal ap- pearance before the Judiciary commit tee. His position cannot, despite non- appearance personally. be misunder- stood; it is, in effect, warning to the cOmmittee against favoring the candi- detes of the young element who are c1assed-in part, nistakenly-as Hill men.
 It is "merry war; but with possi- bic afterclaps.

Recently, a former Prohibition Pres idential candidate withdrew from that party, declaring it's mission ended now that 1t had raised prohibition to the dignity of a national issue. MT. Chain, the party's latest Presidential candi- date, dissents from that declaration by a predecessor. In speech on Monday he asserted that "the question of pro- hibition will never be settled until one party which stands for that alone, rises to power" This is. in effect a decla- raton of perpetuity for the Prohibition party, for no party can ever win na- tionauy on that issue alone.

Where is that general prosperity, that summary revival of industries, which was to follow closely the elec- ton of MT. Taft? How about the still1closed or but partly open mills and factories, the employees of which were induced to vote for MT. Taft by promises that the doors would be opened wide in the event of his elec- ton? Have all these promises gone into the limbo of the previous similar promises of Republican campaigns?

Tn connection with the report that Eherif Hawley consulted with Ex-Lt. Gov. Lake as to the formers Norwalk appointments, it is suggested that the two, Hawley and Lake "are plotting together relative to coming shrievalty and gubernatorial compaigns?'' The suggestion may be well-founded. It is an established fact that Sheriff Hawley is somewhat prone to the practice of pledging himself and, incidentally, the Republican vote of Fairfield county, in
 advance of primaries and conventions.

Tax Commissioner Corbin has advise ed Mayor Hooker of Hartford to have tho city's assessment raised to full val uation, as the one and only method of augmenting it's revenue to a much needed amount without increasing the tax rate. There being law which re- quires full-value assessments, the Mayors query and MT. Corbin's ans wer seem alike unnecessary. If, how ever, the General Assembly decides to reimpose the state tax upon towns, the lodging of full-value assessments is likely rather to increase than dimin- ish.

More Than a Match for Artist.

Dwellers in the suburbs who possess
a three yard by two grass lawn have
lately been receiving the attentions
of an artist in bluff, The operator
sets to work boldly on the grass with
shears, and after moving with much
show of industry comes respectfully
to the door and announces that "the
Jobs done, and it's ninepence." Much
concern is expressed when 1t is point
ed out by the owner Of the lawn that
the "job" was done without invitation
or request "Wusn't you the gentle
man as met me yustd'y an tole me tc
do it?" Generally the ninepence IL
paid, especially II the work really
wanted doing.
The artist, however was momentari
ly scared when the tenant with real
istic stimulation of horror exclaimed
What? You've cut my grassi Now
just go and put 1t back again! Man

There was no response for he was
dead. -.s
In an instant the woman realized
the truth. She. was ignorant of the
mechanism, and could not stop the
car. But with remarkable presence
Oh mind she did the next best thing
Lfting her baby UP she leaned out
OF the auto and dropped It on the
roadway. Then taking the steering
wheel, she headed the automobile for
ditch into which It ran and cap
sized. ya
The woman, who with the corpse
Of her husband was flung out, fortu.
nately escaped with very slight in
jury. The baby was found un
harmed s. a1
