BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

President Taft, in his talk to one hundred and fifty of the men appoint cd 10 supervise the census, at Wash ington, on Saturday, again gave mo- tice that census-taking was a strict business proposition, not a political game. He warned them to recognize no obligations to congressman for their influence in securing for them the appointment and to heed no coun- gel which would lead them to select political enumerators. He said that he was in no conflict with congress men, but that he should remove any supervisor who was using his position to promote party ends. He impressed upon their minds that such import ant work called for the very best ex- ecutive ability and that there were times when business is business" ap- plies to governmental work as well as to the work of well conducted private concerns; that partisanism does not enter into the scheme and that he will remove any supervisor who is caught lending himself to party ends instead of wholly to government busi- ness. This is a real reform, the temp tation to disregard the advice of the president is great, and that some re- movals are likely to take place Is foregone conclusion.

cARNEeIE's GREETING TO PEARY

It would have been in better form had the Hon. Andrew Carnegie wait cd until the decision of the Danish experts is made upon Dr. Cooks ac- count of his travels and his observa- tions before he so gleefully greeted Peary as the discoverer of the North pole, at Philadelphia. His perform ance does not make any difference to either explorer for 1t detracts nothing from Cook and adds nothing to the accomplishments of Peary.
 The Peary interest has apparently enlisted the aid of every liar and crook who could be induced to make their own dishonesty the basis for "a true revelation" against Dr. Cook; and certain New York papers are busy as- sailing the capability of the Danish experts so as to be ready to fiercely assaH their decision should it be fa- vorabls to Dr. Cook.
 The reading public have no doubt that Dr. Cook is a gentleman; in his treatment of even his openly declared enemies. and that is what Commander Peary has proven to the world that he is not. As an able public speaker remarked to his audience recently, What does 1t amount to If man 6id discover the North pole, if he has proved to the world that he lacks ev- hry quality which marks a gentle manr'
 All this islander and indecency will pot fin any way affect results. If the Danish Geographical society decides lhat .Dr. Cook reached the North pole Their verdict will be accepted and ob-. servAtions and data be endorsed as genuine. If the report is adverse, Dr. Cook must abide public condemnation.

A Simple Broth.

To each pound of round steak or beef, take six cups of water. The meat should not be freshly killed and it should be pounded good. For five peo- pie use two pounds of meat. Add 12 cups of cold water; bring slowly to a. boil and simmer. At the first boiling some scum will arise; skim this off with a skinner; when sure that all has been removed, salt the broth. After cooking three hours 1t will have be- come less in quantity, therefore pour in enough hot water to make up to 12 cups again. The broth will have a most delicious flavor if the following vegetables are allowed to cook in 1t half an hour: Celery. parsley, a yellow turnip and, if desired, small piece of cabbage and asparagus. If the broth is greasy, skim the grease off before putting in the vegetables. When the broth is finished strain through a. fine sieve Into an earthen or enamel dish and keep covered until ready to use.

TEN THOUSAND HUNTERS.

As scarce as game is in Connecti- cut, the state issues 10000 licenses to hunters, and we talk about preserving the game.
 The cause of scarcity of birds we at tribute to the multiplicity of cats, and some bird lovers desire that cats shall be licensed the same as dogs, to de- crease their number. wholly uncon- scious of the fact that the rapacious birds and bird-hunting animals de- stroy five times as many birds as the cats do, to say nothing of 1000 boys and men who shoot just little with out a license.
 There is no denying the fact that if it was not for the farmers who check the invasion of their pastures and for ests by warnings of prosecution for trespass. the game of the state would be doomed to extermination, if every cat was leash-bound.
 Anyone who has seen twelve regi- rnents of men marching in review can imagine just what a parade these li- censed and unlicensed hunters would be capable of making collectively.
 If the six New England states aver age as many as Connecticut, and not one of them has poorer hunting grounds. we have in New England a total of so,e0o licensed gunners to Kill off the game, and if they average 30 creatures apiece their record of de- struction reaches 1,sO0.ooo createures 2 year.
 We pretend to protect game by law; but under such a license system as this can it possibly amount to much?

ABUSE OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

The abuse of men in public office often grows out Of nothing else than The desire of selfish interests-the pur- pose of schemers to defeat honest pur- pose. The mayor of Worcester is hav- Ing his experience. but he is equal to the situation, is able to talk back and 10 show up the character of the ene- mics he has made. In the course of e public address the other day he said:
 Life is too short to spend it in try ing to prove that you are not a fit subject for abuse but in the long run a mans work is his vindication. One reason why many men will not con- sent to serve the public, and who, if they would, could give to the public 3 service in value away beyond the compensation paid, is because they will not stand the abuse that is show hred upon them by the yellow journal. But that is simply part of the pro- yremfne-to abuse public servant until he becomes so disgusted with The conditions to which he is obliged 10 submit that he says: I don't have to submit to that sort of thing and won't submit to 1t any longer' And 50 he steps out, and the men and the Interests that have abused him have their way just as much as they would have had had this man been defeated at the polls. Well, my friends. I am no quitter. I am not built on that plan. Abuse from certain quarters won't ever hurt me. If were to re- ceive commendation from the same source you would be justified in being suspicious"
 The mayor of Worcester is a man who deserves to be honored,. appar- ently, for the enemies he makes. He has the courage of his convictions and the. ability to defend them, and he ought to be able to bring to his sup port the majority of the people.
