Abundant Attractiveness.
Mr. Brandegee had it in him four
years ago to Ill a great Office well.
Presumably he still has the power, and
the opportunity is renewed to him by
a kind Providence. He is a man of
abundan personal attractiveness and
no mean intellectual ability. Connec-
ticut has a right to demand of him
that six years from now, if he is a
candidate for reelection, he shall
have some stronger argument in his
favor than his desire for a chance. If
anything can wake him up it will be
the protest that his present recollection
has encOuntered.-tHar Courant.
Offensive Things Said"
The campaign has ben "a clean one
on the Brandegee side and it has been
fairly clean on Mr.. Hills side There
were some things said about the New
London senator that were a bit often
sive, things that ought not to have
been said. and while they evidently
did not affect the vote, they must have
annoyed and possibly hurt Mr.. Bran
degee personally. Such things should
have no place in a political campaign.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
No Better Chance.

If Charles F. P~Ooker is to be the
next chairman Of the republican ma
tional committee it is superfuous for
those in this Naugatuck valley who
know him and his career to say that
no better choice could possibly be
made. Mr.. BROKER represents first OF
all character. then business ability
then patriotic citizenship and an un-
selfish interest in politics because Of its
principles and not for its so-called
honors. He has been an influence in
active national campaigns since 1895
was one of the three or four who had
most to do with the management or
the campaign of 1904 that elected
Roosevelt; had perhaps an even more
important place in the campaign OF
1908. as was natural, since his intlu-
ence in Connecticut and New England
counted for so much in securing New
England's support for Taft at Chicago.
There is a good deal Of question
whether Mr.. BROKER would be willing,
considering his many other large in
terests. to take the onerous place Of
chairman He disclaims at present the
probability Of his selection.-Water-

Although the much discussed medi-
cine is now on sale at all druggists
in New York. there has apparently
been no let-up in the crowds that are
calling at the store where Cooper Is
meeting the public.
In speaking Monday Of his extra
ordinary success in New York, Cooper
said: "The majority of the people
who are now calling to get my medi-
cine have been sent here by friends.
There is nothing the matter with nine
out Of ten people who are in poor
health but stomach trouble, brought
about by overlooking and little out
door exercise. l can prove this in a
few weeks to anyone who tries Coop
er's New Discovery. As soon as l
have proved it and they no longer feel
tired and dull and nervous, they tell
their friends about 1t, and that beats
anything 1 could say on the subject.
Il thought when | put my medicine
on sale generally in New York there
would be a let-up at this store, but
apparently there are just as many
calling to talk with me as ever.
People have not yet realized they can
get the medicine wherever they
choose. I shall continue to meet the
public at this store during the rest
of my stay in New York"
Among statements made for publi-
cation on Monday by New Workers
who are strongly in favor Of Cooper's
theory and medicine was the following
by Mrs. Charles Trensch, of 81 Des-
l1rosses street, who said: ''No one
who has had such an experience as
my husband and myself with this New
Discovery medicine could help talking
about it, l am well again after fifteen

band is also in perfect health after

rnE SECRET SERVICE HussUR.

The people Of the country are rather
surprised by the fuss congress is max
ing over the secret service, and Won
dering why, in the first place, the
servants Of the people should have
refused to vote money for its support
The secret service is a corps Of
trained detectives at first intended for
detection of customs frauds and coun
terfeiting. Other departments Of the
national government made use of these
experts to detect crime wherever sus-
pected. Congress refused to allow fur
Their appropriations for these later uses
and brought forward three reasons for
its refusal. First. that the service was
intended only for customs frauds and
to prevent counterfeiting. Second, it
was expensive. Third, and they first
stated this themselves. as the Con
gressional Record shows, congressman
suspected they themselves might be
investigated.
Why should honest men be afraid of
detectives? Why should not the gov
ernment be free to ferret out crime
against itself and the people wherever
IL can find it?
There is only one good reason why
an honest representative should fear
such q system, and that is that they
may be used against them as the de-
tective system is said to have
been used against Congressman
George l. Lilley; and this would
be a good reason had not com
u1ittees Of congress been using detec-
tives to shadow, annoy and report
their own colleagues to sustain sus-
peoted motives.
This is a wrong use OF a detective
agnecy, whether it is done by congress
sional committees or the administra-
ton, and The Bulletin blames no one
for being afraid Of and opposed to
such 8 use Of detectives.
The correct use of a detective bu-
reau Is as important as necessary, and
there is no reason why the admins
tration should not be encouraged in
hunting down a wrongdoer whether he
is in congress. in the departments, in
the mints, or the postof1ces of the
country.
1t has been very properly inquired
since some members OF congress have
alleged that the dignity of that body
has been seriously impaired, What
Ainu OF dignity IS II tnat cannot
stand the limelight?'
What would be said Of President
Roosevelt should he veto a bill sup
porting the secret service simply be-
cause the detectives had been shad-
owing him?
Congress and the people would re-
gard that as a very suspicious cir
cumstance, wouldn't they? If he
claimed his dignity had been insulted
II might be thought that his dignity
was not what 1t should be.
All congressman are not irrational
Some Of them must be taking the right
view Of the present situation.

IRISH LED IN MANIFESTATION.

The report of Commissioner Bill
ings of Boston shows a great falling
off in the number of immigrants ar
irving at that port in 1908. There was
a total Of $3.50 aliens landed in the
twelve months. This was a tremen-
dous decrease over the previous year
when the total was S0,244. The figures
for the different nationalities show that
once more the Irish race leads in the
number of arrivals at Boston. just
as It did a few years ago. with the
English next and the Italians relegated
TO third position. The continental races
stood the burden of decrease in ar
rivals, the percentages of falling off
last year over 1907 being Poles. 80
per cent; Hebrews, 20 per cent;
Greeks, so per cent; Italians, 81 per
cent; English, As per cent; Scotch, 50
per cent, and Irish, 80 per cent. The
chief factor in the strong showing of
the Irish race unquestionably is that
about two-thirds of the Irish arrivals
were women. most of them domestics
Inasmuch as the head tax levied on
aliens last year was $500, the head
tax receipts Of the Boston station were
s130,636. More than half of the num-
Der of aliens landed declared their de-
tinations as places in Massachusetts,,
the exact number being 1891. Rhode
Island got 1924. Connecticut 372, Yer
mont 264, Maine SAB, New Hampshire
442. and New York 1880.
The remainder were destined to ev-
cry state in the union. and four were
bound for Alaska and for Hawaii
They represented 80 nations-the
Scotch numbered 1913, the Portuguese
1910, the Hebrews 1850, the English
5,675, the Irish 6,S45, the Italians
6,03S, and the Greeks 300.

JOINED THE CALAMITY HowLERs


No one in Connecticut need be sur
prised to learn that George l.. Fox of
New Haven, the active prosecutor as
well as prosecutor of Lilley, has Joined
the opponents of the Panama canal,
of whom PouIthey Bigelow is a con-
spieious leader, and pronounces this
great and popular enterprise the
monumental folly Of the age
Criticising Mr.. Fox's conduct, a
Boston paper says:
"This is no time for Mr.. Foxs ar
ticle. The United States has embark
ed on the good ship Panama, and it
will complete the voyage even if its
cost reaches the six hundred MILLION
dollars which Mr.. Fox estimates. What
if the expense Of the canals mainte-
nance does greatly exceed any possi-
BILE earnings from its operation? Who
will call for a retreat? 1t is entirely
possible that we shall become more
sympathetic as we go on with the
French company which proposed to
build sea-level canal for one hundred
and two million dollars, actually sink
ing on the less expensive lock con-
struction two hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars, only to find that this was
so little nearer a successful consum-
nation than when the work began that
it was ready to sell out to Uncle Sam
for forty million dollars. We may
eventually acknowledge that graft and
incompetency were probably not such
large factors in this total as we once
thought they were. The United States
wants the canal as a military necesi-
ty and as an adjunct to its CONNER
cial development. The price in such
circumstances is of relatively small
account The American people make
very little criticism of public expen-
ditures. This was therefore a good
time for putting through so stupen-
dous a piece of work"
