RECORDS;
 CONNECTICUT MEN
Nutmeg State Has Produced Many Men of More Than Usual Ability.

It is an interesting study to search khe old records of our national gov ernrnent .=and note the names of men fromszthes various states who were famous in their day, and who hlled the high places of trust and power. From the earliest colonial times to the present day, we find Connecticut men on these pages. True, Connecucut has never had a president nor a vice president but in the early times and selected a cabinet without naming one Connecticut adviser.
 The first cabinet minister was Oliver Wolcott, Jr., who was secretary of the treasury under President Washington. He succeeded AIexanded Hamilton. February 2, 1795. and served until January 1, 1901. Thomas Jefferson had In his cabinet the first of several post master geuerals from Connecticut, in the person of Gideon Granger. who served under four administrations. from November 2S, 1901 until March IT, 1914, the longest term of any cabi- net member from Connecticut.
 It was not until 1840 that, Connecti- President Van Buren chose John M. Niles as postmaster general May 19, l84o, and he served until March 4, 1841. The next admirfstration had no Con- necticut man in the ca abinet, but Presi- dent Polk made Isaac Toucey attor- ney general June 21. 184S, and he was continued by President Taylor until March 8, 1849., He was made secretary of the navy by President Buchanan March 6, 1857, serving until March 1861, when Gideon Welles succeeded him as the appointee of President Lin- coIn. Welles continued under John son. but President Grant named a Pennsylyania man in his place, March 5. 1869.
 President Fillmore selected his post master general from Connecticut and Samuel D. Hubbard was the man. He served from August 31, 1852, until March T. 1853. Marshall Jewell was he fourth. and last postmaster general from Connecticut. President Grant named him August 24, 1874 and he was the last cabinet officer Connecticut has had: since 1876 no one has been se- lected from our state as a member o1 the presidents official family.

 Summer Sale.
 Nothnagle's great summer sale con- tinues to be the centre of attraction for the thrifty housewife who is anx- ious to save her husbands hard earn ed dollars.

 Poor Lead Pencils.
 A famous Colonel of Kentucky said
 there were different brands of whiskey distilled in Kentucky but no really poor whiskey. This saying perhaps will apply to lead pencils, the cheaper the grade the less variety you get in quality. The higher the grade the
 greater degree of hardness of the lead When a man or woman put lead pencil in their mouth, they are doing something contrary to good judgment for two or three reasons, the first and | principal reason is if they want a pencil to make a plain black mark they should ask for soft or medium soet lead, probably the most popular
 medium soft lead sold at Jackson's Book Shop, 9S6-9SS Main street is the | popularity comes the MongoI and the 1 Mikado grade . or 3. These pencils 1 all come in harder grades of lead. An other popular pencil is Carbon No. 113 1 and Car Inspector made by the Dixon | Go. These are but a few of the pen | cils that give a clear and distinct mark l and do not smudge. Also pencils with erasers used by the butcher and grocer are to be found all Sharpened with l erasers.

ment Over 2S per cent of the pris- oners in this country, according to lat one month. About 19 per cent. re- ceived one month sentences, 7.5 per cent. two months and Il per cent three InonthS,-SentenceS for a large part influences of county jails and penften- tiarieS.
 When the Eighth International Pris- on Congress meets in Washington in 1910 one of the section meetings will consider these questions:
 What are the essential principles of a modern reformatory system. and upon what rational methods should it be based? Should it's application be limited by age, or other classification? If so, under what limitations?
 Must we not admit the necessity of special treatment for youthful crlm- inals and even recidivists from sixteen to twenty-one or twenty-three years, recognizing the elasticity of that age and the possibility of curing by spec ial methods physical, moral and intel. lectual, the perverted Instincts or young offenders? In that case is it not desirable to give to the courts the power of imposing a. special penalty:
 (a) Sufficiently long to permit the full application of all means of refor- nation?
 Cb) Permitting the free application of conditional liberation?
 The Congress bulletin states that the reformation of the prisoner Is now un1- versally accepted as one of the princi- pal ends of prison administration. The main question is how is it to be secur- ed? With this end in view different prison systems have been developed. Under one system this end is supposed to be best promoted by completely iso- lating the offender from his fellow prisoners with a. view to individual treatment. In other systems social treatment is preferred as a prepara- ton for social duties. The methods of treatment under these systems differ widely, and the whole structure, or ganization, and discipline of the prfs- on are affected by them. The object of the question is to bring out the principles and methods, however varied they. may be, accepted in different countries, not merely for punishing the prisoner for his offence, but for prop erly preparing him to lead law-abid- ing life on returning to society. Perhaps the Prison Congress of next year will lead to renewed interest in this important subject of reformatory treatment of prisoners the same way that last years great International Tu- benculosis Congress has resulted in a national awakening to the dangers Of the great White Plague. The United States has been the leader in children s courts. It should not lag behind in | reformatory treatment of its prison CTS.

 IN PLAN OF BOSSES

{Special from United Press)
 Newark, July 18-President Samuel .Muiheim of the United Hat Manufac- turers declared to-day the recent vote pf the striking matters would cause no change in the manufacturers plan. Speaking for himself and other manu- lecturers involved in the strike he said:
 eve are prepared to hear that the vote would be likely to keep up the strike and learned on good authority that the tip had gone around from the strike leaders that if the vote was to keep up the strike the manufacturers would be sure to weaken This as- sumption. was erroneous and will not change the attitude of the manufac- ttirers who fell that in taking the open shop stand and deciding to pay the wages they were paying before the breach with the union took place. they were in the right It is little un- fortunate that the first plan of the Committee of the Essex County Grand Jury which took up the matter, to have the ballots sent by post in- divfdually by the strikers, was not car rfed The strikers would have in such case beeA jess under the influence of the leaders than they were in two halls in New Jersey

CHINA ACCEPTS CRANE
Has No Objection to Chicago Man as
 Minister from United States.

Pelzing, July 19.-Charles R. Crane of Chicago, whose selection as Minister to China by President Taft was announc- ed recently, is persona grata to the Chinese government. The American legation Saturday made representation ito the Chinese Foreign Board regard ing the appointment of Mir Crane, whom the legation described as an Orientalist and a traveller who had twice visited China.
 These were well received and the ap- pointment was communicated to the grand council which authorized the Foreign Board to inform the United States Government that China would gladly receive MT. Crane.

 County jails are free schools for investigating committee under the chairmanship of Charles R. Henderson, the University of Chicago professor re- centiy elected American member of the International Prison Commission. And yet the latest figures obtainable show that 7-10 per cent. of the pris- on population of this country is con fined to criminal-malSing county jails tind, State prisons According to lat est figures there are in municipal pris- ons and work houses 7.6 of all the pris- oners in the United States, and 2.9 per cent are in reformatories. The sur ITising fact is that about half of Americas offender ranges between the ages of ten and thirty, (there were according to the latest figures 26, ,9S3 boys" between 20 and "A, and 13,SS6 between Is and 19, and 6s5 between 10 and S14)
 Drunkenness. now largely looked up on as a disease, is responsible for 23 per cent. of the total prison popula- ton. vagrancy for 20 per cent, and dis orderly conduct for Il per cent. Here are accounted for over half of Amer ica's offenders imprisoned for drunk enness, vaErancy and disorderly con- duct; and yet provision Is made in re- 1OTmdlOI1eS TOT only Z-S per cent ol this. prison population, about half of which falls between the ages of 10 and 3O,-a bad reflection of Americas pub lie policy in dealing with these offend CTS.
 Tt is the recognized policy of modern crininology that first offenders and many drinking men who are commit ted to jail on sentences might better be disposed of by suspending the exc cution of their sentences, on condition that they secure employment, use their earnings for the support of their families and keep out of vicious com pany. If the court has a probation officer, the man should be placed un- der his supervision. If there Is no probation officer, he should be reQuir- ed to report to the court, or to some person designated by it, at stated per iods. If work on public roads is in progress, it might furnish employment for men released on suspended sen- tences.
 Eyery convicted person, the moment sentence is pronounced, should be taken immediately to the proper re- formatory, penitentiary. district work house or labor colony. Thus the num- ber of persons in county jails in idle ness would be greatly reduced.
 According to the general policy of the United States at present, short sen- tences in jail and penitentiaries con stitute by far the majority of punish

Editor of The Bulletin In reply to
your article in The Bulletin of Nov.
6th Protest is Made we would say,
in regard to THE Larkin Booth that
the attention of the retail grocery
merchants has no doubt been at.
tracted by our advertising. We were
waited upon by a committee at our
booth representing the Merchants
League who stated that they could
have done very much better by the
organization than the Larkin Co.
could, One Of the committee stated
that he sold eight bars Of Gloss Soap
for twenty-five cents This Of course
was much cheaper than any other OF
our merchants sell it, Perhaps if
some Of these generous offers had
been made some time in the course
of the past thirty,four years Of the
w. c. T. us existence in Cairo there
would have been no reason for a Lar
kin Booth" Any courtesies shown
OUT organization by the merchants OF
our city would have been appreciated
by rs
How many retail merchants pat,
ronize wholly the Cairo wholesale
aud other home establish
ments, for their supplies?
How many OF the retail merchants
patronize the "Women's Christian
Temperance Union in any way?
Our booth will be open to the pub
lie all next week and the merchants
arc cordially invited to investigate
our methods after which we hope
they will be less critical.

The Cairo bulletin., 1909-11-07

There seems to be need of some
we'll directed efforts by some one to
bring the Cairo retail merchants and
the Cairo consumers together There
is nothing to be gained by elimination
and recrimination, and probably there
is some cause for complaint on both
sides. 1t stands to reason that
the advance toward a bet
ter understanding should come
from the merchants and the
most effective method would be to
convince the consumers that they can
be served as cheaply and as well at
home, everything considered, as they
can by these far-away firms. An APP
peal to town loyalty" is in order, Of
course, and should go long way; but
it is quite safe to assume that self
interest in each individual case, will
be a stronger lever than community
interest can be, More than likely
Cairo retailers will be able to show
that in many instances the impression
that given commodities can be bought
cheaper abroad than at home is enron,
eous.
