The following statement was made
by Mr.. S. J. Simpson on Thursday
afternoon In connection with the Coop
err preparations, which have created a
sensation throughout the West and
now being widely discussed in New
York.
Mr.. Simpson, who lives at No. 9f9
President street, Brooklyn, said:
According to my experience. this
man Cooper is justified in his claims
that his medicine will actually put the
stomach in good condition. ! have
had chronic stomach trouble for sew
eral years past. My stomach seemed
to give out completely in August 1906,
and l have been able TO eat next to
nothing since.

joyment in living. l have been so de-
pressed by my condition. Neither
physicians nor medicine helped me.
and it was only by the most careful
diet that l was able to retain any food
whatever. For the past seven months
l have not eaten a particle of meat.
In the most skeptical frame Of mind
possible I called to see MI Cooper
about two months ago, while he was
in Brooklyn. 1 had not the. smallest
hope his medicine would help me. as

year. I obtained some Of the medicine

immensely wealthy ones, too-now
having their plantations in Sumatra
and Borneo, that would move their
managers over to the Philippines in
order to take advantage of our lack Of
protective duty.
1t is as much to the interests of
the cigar manufacturers and the cigar
makers of the United States to keep
out this foreign grown tobacco and
cigars as it is to the growers. Every
cigar allowed to enter this country tree
of duty reduces just that number from
our home production. Cigars can be
manufactured in the Philippines at 81
per 1000 on an average. while we are
paving our worllmen on an average
$12 per 1000.
As a new era is started in tobacco
culture in Connecticut, with new
modes Of harvesting and curing, I ex-
pect that within five years we shall
see hundreds of acres of land, now
idle, raising tobacco, and this land,
Which at present practically returns al
most nothing, will be producing rich
returns on small investments. We
shall see new houses, new farm build
ings and a prosperous people which
will be a pride to our state. This in
dustry, if not menaced by the OrlentaI
competition will be source of great
wealth to our beloved New England"
Are you doing anything for Mr..
Brandegee?"
yes, sir. All of us tobacco men
are doing our utmost for him. We
think it is the duty of every tobacco
grower in the state to see their sena-
tors and representatives and impress
on them the strong reasons. cas- out
lined in my talk to you, why the to-
bacco interests of Connecticut demand
Senator Brandegee's return to the
senate He has shown us that he is
"A friend in need and it is our duty to
see that he is reelected by a vote that
will leave no doubt in the minds of
the intelligent men ouf our country as
to where Connecticut stands on this
great agricultural and political ques-
tion."-Hartford Times.

A cAlLDaEN's LABOR BUREAU.

The movement of the national child
labor committee to have a national
children's bureau formed is not likely
to find favor with those who think
this government is drifting altogether
too fast towards paternalism, but
since the permanence of every gov
eminent resides in the ability and
character of its citizenship, why
should not every government give
jealous care to its foundations?
This proposed bureau, according to
the plan laid out. would investigate
and report upon all matters pertain
ing to the welfare of children and
child life. 1t would take up, in par
ticular. questions of infant mortality,
the birth rate, degeneracy, juvenile
delinquency and juvenile courts, en-
plOyment of children, accidents to and
diseases of children of the industrial
classes. state and territorial legisla-
ton affecting children, and certain
other matters related to the child.
The project is put forward as one
having the approval of President
Roosevelt and various other public
officials.
The children. as wards Of the nation
and the nations hope. deserve every
care. If the governmental machinery
can be better regulated in their in
tcrest, by all means let it be done.
There would seem to be no question
that the contemplated department, If
wisely arranged and efficiently Off
cered, ought to collect and make pub
lie much valuable information, with
results affecting both national and
state legislation.
Sunday January "a. has been des-
ignated as q day on which the sub
ject Of child labor is to be considered
throughout the United States. The
president has invited number Of
persons prominently associated with
welfare work for children to meet him
this month at Washington, and the
fifth annual child labor conference Is
to be held in Chicago January 81 to
%, when the general topic to be con-
sidered is "The Children of the Ma
ton
The work and the problems involved
are certainly worthy of national con-
sideration and supporting measures
by congress.
The nation which is taking best care
of its children is taking the best care
of itself.

FOR A LINCOLN CENTENNIAL
STAMP.

It is strange that the head OF Abra-
ham Lincoln should have been ordered
from all postage stamps in the year
preceding the centennial anniversary
OF the great emancipator's birth
but such is the fact, and now there is
a movement as a special recognition
OF the celebration which is to take
place on the 18th Of next month. to
have special set Of stamps made for
that occasion, and it is finding favor
at Washington A bill providing for
the issue Of these special stamps has
been prepared and viii be at once in
troduced in congress. if it has not been
placed on the records already.
Upon this subject the Newark News
says:
1T Is not intended to abandon the
original purpose to have the Lincoln
head restored to the stamps in regu-
lar use. from which it was removed a
few weeks ago by the postmaster gem
eraL There is a feeling among phil
atelists that taking the head of Lin
coin from all the postage stamps was
almost as irreverent and unwarrant
ed as removing the motto In God We
Trust from the United States coins.
But whether the Lincoln head is
restored or not. there can be no ques-
ton that the issue and use Of a spe-
cial set Of Lincoln centennial anniver-
sary stamps would be a highly pop
ular and appropriate recognition Of
the words, the work and worth Of the
martyred president: the greatest and
most typical American this country
has produced"

THAT CONGRESSIONAL SALARY


What Governor Lilley win do with
that congressional salary is disturb
ing the New York Sun.
If he should draw it and put it in
his pocket or add It to his bank &C
count he would do no worse than
scores of absentees have been doing
these many years.
If he should draw it and turn it
over for some charitable purpose in his
home town it would, be about what
might be expected of him.
There is one conclusion which it is
perfectly safe for The Sun, or any per-
son under the sun, to come to, and
that is that Governor Lilley will not
take counsel of the press what he shall
do with it, as he probably considers
that as his private concern.
The Sun does not venture to cen
sure him for taking the salary, for it
admits that by all tho rules Of con-
gress and by precedent he is entitled
TO it..
Since it. is admitted that he is en-
titled to it, there does not seem to be
any reason for discussing what he will
probably do with 1t. It will not be
wasted. and there could be no special
kick made II he applied II to the re-
duction of the cost Of his campaign in
this state; or should just blow it I'm

proved by the people, whose interests

THE sENAToRsHlP DETERMINED
TODAY.

The republican forces will meet at
Hartford today to settle the question
whether Frank B. Brandegee shall be
returned to the United States senate
or be succeeded by Congressman Eb-
enezer J. Hill Of the Fourth district.
The Hill partisans, who started the
campaign with assurances that it was
to be clearly and honorably conducted,
have succeeded in making it cam
paign Of defamation, presumably be-
cause there could be found no real
issue upon which a strong and fair
political battle could be fought.
Much that Congressman Hill has
ventured to say himself has not added
10 his strength or popularity; and the
arguments of his friends have been Of
a character which has not made much
impression upon the people.
Senator Brandegee has attempted to
make no personal defense, but has
carried his campaign forward in a
quiet and dignihed manner, employing
the same agencies for success as those
employed by Platt and Hawley and
looking over the field Chairman Ke-
nealy Of the republican state central
committee has found that Senator
Brandegee is strong in his party has
the confidence Of the leaders. and will
receive today a majority Of the votes
for his return to Washington.
To claim that this is offensive to
Taft, or menace to the new admin
istration. is absurd. Senator Knox.

An Excellent Message.

One of the most important subjects
that Governor Lilliey will deal with
is the judiciary He will appoint a
number of judges, and will himself be
judged largely by his wisdom in that
matter. He advises that with the
growth of the state and the increase
Of court business there be more SUI
perior court judgeships created, and in
this he has the support of the bar and
the people.
He advises a daily stenographic re-
port of the legislative proceedings and

ed appropriation schemes for reporters

LEGISLATIVE MUNICIPAL CHAR.
TERS

Let US hope that the custom which
has attained in New York and Massa-
chusetts Of having charters for the
government Of the cities supplied bv
the legislature viii not become the
vogue in Connecticut.
The movement to make a standard
or uniform charter for the cities has
been found to be a problem not easily
solved, and in this state it seems to
have been practically abandoned and
Governor Lilley very wisely recon-
mended that home rule is the onlv
Just rule for Connecticut cities.
1t seems strange to see a paper like
the Boston Journal saying to the So
Ions Of that state, that there should
be no revolutionary change in Ros-
tons city charter without giving Bos-
ton chance to express its opinion"
While there are many evidences that
municipal government is about as in
efficient as any government under the
sun, 1t is what the people make IL.
and 1t is likely to be as good as n
government regulated by men who
have no personal interest in the affairs
of the city
Boston would not readily submit to
such government, and a storm Of
disapproval would and should result
which would make the law makers
Of Beacon Hill sit up and take notice.
