rEN RRIeHr YEARS.

American ideas come to the oppress- cd and benighted like bright light, and the expansion of American rule to the old Spanish islands of the. At lantic and western oceans has in ten years worked masterfully for the up- lifting and well being of the people who now call the American flag their own.
 In Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico, American government has come to mean the greatest blessing ever known. Four hundred years of crush ing Spanish oppression left these peo- pie supine and in the apathy of de- spair. Ten years of republican rule have lifted them from the slough and planted their feet on the highway of plenty and contentment. This is the true mission of Anglo -Saxonism, for from some points of view it would be provincial to arrogate to America alone the civilizing system of govern ment which characterizes the colonial policy of the other great representa- tive of Anglo-Sa civilization.
 It has been well said that England and America stand together as the worlds torch bearers, the nations of the earth whose consuIates are shrines along the highway of the years where the whole world kneels to praise All the carping protests of the so-called anti-imperialists cannot gainsay the wisdom of a policy which has brought about the Cuba. the Porto Rico, and the Philippines of today. England ap- pears to have effectually silenced the Little Englanders,' and the Little Americans are. not quite so vociferous as they formerly were"

 GAMBLING IN BREADSTUFFS.

James A. Patten of Chicago, who was the representative of the cornerers of wheat and the cause of the increase fin the price of bread, has found it necessary to leave his business for his own safety, and the most that can be learned Of his whereabouts is that he has gone southwest" which means that he has fled to a more congenial cline till the clouds roll by" It is right that he should be made to know and to feel that he is regarded as an enemy to his fellow men, and since punishment is applied to more deserving men for less seri- ous offences it is a pity that there is no law under which such heartlessness and greed can be treated as a crime, which 1t deserves to be. A bill has been introduced to the Illinois legis- lature to prevent gambling in bread stuffs in that state; and law ought to be passed by congress to prevent 1t in the United States.

WRONGS THAT CANNOT BE
 RIGHTED,

Periods of oppression and tyranny, the false Imprisonment of men and the denial to them of their rights under a free government, are things which cannot be defended or ever made right.
 There are two innocent negroes in the penitentiary of Minnesota who have been there for 34 years because compelled to confess a crime of which they were not guilty under threats of lynching If they declared their inno- cence. and now the prosecutor seeks their release because he knows their Imprisonment to have been unjust What will liberty to them amount to after third of century Of intense suffering In disgrace? What are they to. do? It would be well if Minnesota was Christian enough to give them a maintenance for the rest of their lives. They are not only entitled to freedom, but to liberal pay for all these years Of abuse.

Gollnick is a bachelor. He had been dining with the Tessdales and over the coffee Tessdale produced the let ter.
 Most curious thing, this letter" Tessdale said. Good paper, written in the most extreme fashionable stilt- ed hand and with the assurance of one who expects to be understood. Says she knows I'll be glad to hear she has come to Chicago. and expects to remain permanently. and hopes l will come to see her, with graceful references to our former friendship. Signed 'Rosina Hitch-and l don't know and never knew any Rosina Hitchi l never heard even of a hu- man being named Rosina!" ..
 And l believe him." corroborated Mrs. Tessdale. a trifle defiantly. catch ing Gollnicks eye. Gollnick hastened to resolve his face into a picture of trust and faith. "Certainly!" he said. How extraordinary"
 He fingered thoughtfully the note which Tessdale had passed over. Then the idea struck him.
 'Of course" he said to Tessdale, it wouldn't be proper for you, married man, to pay any attention to this note. You couldn't, you know. Could he, Mrs. TeSsdale? Your role is to treat it with a cold reserve if not ! suspicious contempt. But it would ' entirely correct for me to answer it. TessdaIe. Now, wouldn' it?"
 I'd kind of like to get to the bot tom of the mystery" confessed Tess dale. 'T'd like to know who Rosina really is"
 "Go on and answer it. urged Mrs. Tessdale, who was cheerfully without scruples when Tessdale was not con- cerned.
 Thereupon Gollnick answered the note on Mrs. Tessdale's best station cry. His was a beautiful note. con- sidered from all points. It was the acme Of polite interest, of courteous pleasure in the fact that Chicago was from now on to be blessed with the presence of Rosina Hitch, of deftly vague references to the mysterious past days when they had known each other, of intimations that the writer would be charmed to pick up again the thread of their acquaintance. And Gollniek signed 1t with Tessdales name
 III have to!" he insisted She wrote to you, didn't she? She doesn't know me. does she D.
 She's welcome to know you" said Tessdale. for all of me. All right, let her goi"
 So Gollnick mailed the letter on his way home that night. Three days la ter Mrs. Tessdale telephoned him that there was an answer and Gollnick has, tened to his friends house. He was beginning to feel an eager interest in

Poor Policy.

The Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican says: "The high price of wheat and the fact that it has apparently been cornered or that there Is a scarcity of it in the markets of the world has served to rivet attention anew on the idiotic in- creases made by the senate finance committee in the duties on wheat oats. harley, cahbages and other farmers products. J. J. Hill is quoted here as saying that the United States will be importing wheat from Argen- tina this fall. That would surely mean a scarcity of wheat in the land and very high prices for the commod- ity, but the senate bill proposes to make the price still higher by attach Ing a high duty to it. And all this is done to give Senator MeCumber of North Dakota some prestige at home before election time"

HE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
CALLING ON ROSINA.

Rosina Hitch. Gollnick always said l that a person could be judged by the way he or she wrote a letter and Ro- sina's letter had been very nice. The next was even more so. She said she would be glad to see TessdaIe the next evening.
 I'm goingl" Gollnick announced. But you don't look like mel" ob- jected Tessdale.
 What difference does that maker demanded Gollnick. with malicious clevrness. You say Rosina never set , eyes on you!"
 Sometimes, much as he liked Coll nick. Tessdale was greatly irritated by him and this was one of the times he growled. Not that he wanted to call on Rosina himself. but somehow he felt that Gollnick was too su- perabundantly joyful in his freedom to do so.
 I'm goingi" Gollnick repeated. He really dressed very carefully for the call It was an adventure and he was excited. Not since his college days had he been so excited. He did not go so far as to say that Rosina was tall, with waves of dark hair and large eyes, but he felt assured she was charming. She must be. from those notes.
 The address Rosina had given was on @ very good avenue and 1t was a modestly impressive house. As Coll nick waited in the inviting reception room his satisfaction grew. He knew at once that Rosinas family was the right sort. Wasn't there an etching of the Colosseum over the mantel and Kipling on the top shelf of the book case? He rose to his feet as he heard her coming.
 With the Colosseum doing a zigzag waltz before his startled eyes, Gollnick found himselg holding the hand of a plump, motherly woman of 60, with her hair parted and smoothed down. It surely was a basque she had on nothing more modern!
 Why, where's Tommy Tessdale ?'' the nice old woman asked at once T haven't forgotten what he looked like, though I haven't seen hini since he was boy, when I visited his mother. I went through the seminary with his dear mother and she was my best friend! Has anything happened?"
 As has been said. Gollnick Is a very clever man. He looked straight into the kindly eyes of Rosina Hitch. the old Fashioned woman with a fad for new-fashioned stationery.
 T came in Tessdale's place" he said. "He-he was detained by busi- ness. He will be very glad to see you, Mrs. Hitch. He and his wife"
 Fancy Tommy Tessdale married!" " beamed Rosina Hitch, sitting down. Tell me all about him" News.

GOVERNOR LILLEY.
Admirable Traits of Character.


 Personally, Governor Lduey. possessed traits of character which were admir- able. He worked his way to a high estate under adverse conditions and with unWearying resolution. He was man of excellent business judgment, and he succeeded much earlier than most men in accommodating a compe- tency. To others must be left the task of speaking of the social and domestic sides Of his character, those who knew the man, and who are alone justified in estimating him more intimately New Haven Journal-Courier
 A Shock Such as is Seldom Experi-
 eneed.
 The sad death of Governor I.illey which we have to announce this morn ing closes one of the most pathetic chapters of Connecticut political his tory. Only his near friends knew how seriously the strain of months had told on him; the news Of his physical breakdown took the public by sur prise Then came days of acute sus- pense. and then a rally that caused general relief and rejoicing. His phy- sicians said that he was still a very sick man. but the earnest popular de- sire for his recovery refused to be sis- heartened. His death will give the state a shock such as 1t has seldom eXperienced.-The Courant.
 An UnseIfish and Loyal Republican.
 But in the presence of death let us recall the words of the friend who has gone-rhe friend who suffered because he was true to his trust and true t0 his friends:
 THEY DID NOT DEFEAT ME. AND BY NO OFFICIAL ACT OR WORD WILL l SEEK TO HURT THEM"
 The time has not yet come in the state of Connecticut when fair minded people will fail to resent injustice no matter upon what plea 1t is sought to justify it-and 1t is a highly patriotic duty to resent it when it is resorted to for the purpose of destroying the in duence and blackening the characters of public officials who dare to fight for the right and against graft no matter how big or how high up the grafters may be.
 Had not loyalty to public duty de- manded 1t, George l.. Lilley would not have made the fight against graft in the halls of congress.
 Had not loyalty to friends demanded 1t, he would not havo been a candidate for the governorship.
 Could he have done SO without being misunderstood, he would have declined to have his name presented to the last republican convention
 There are a few who know the se- crets of that life now at it's end and they know how unselfsh and loyal George l.. Lilley was to his friends

While the Connecticut automobile law draws no line with reference to speed, Judge Mathewson of the New Haven court has made an averment with relation to 1t which ought to stand. His idea that a speed of over 26 miles an hour shifts the burden of proof will be generally accepted as just to all intelligent readers. It es- t&blishes a rule as to what reason able speed' is and is not in the mind of the court If a dangerous rate. of speed is any speed over 25 miles an hour some of the auto drivers in east ern Connecticut should slow down, or become conscious of the fact that 1t is up to them to prove that 1t is not.

A LINE DRAWN.

Thirty days in jail" is the sem tsnce pronounced by Judge Mathew son, in New Haven, Tuesday, upon a chauffeur for recklessly driving his automobile through city streets, thus giving evidence that there are teeth in our present automobile law. In passing Judgment, the judge Is quoted as having said: This court has al- waye maintained that up to a speed of 2B miles an hour the state must provs 1t Is dangerous, but above that speed the burden of proof shifts to the defense, and 1t must show that travelling at that speed is not danger ous.
