to the Nom Conformists by striking out
the proposed statement OF adherence
to the established church.

clare merely that he Is "a faithful
Protestant"

BOOKS FOR THE BLIND
GO TO DISTRICT LIBRARY
Transferred From Congress
sionaI Institution-Night
Entertainment Probable.

Books for the blind heretofore in the
to the District Public Library, while the
musical and literary entertainments
which were held at the Library OF Con-
gress now are held at the District insti
tuition The librarian Of Congress in his
annual report says, as the benefictartes
of the blind readings are principally DIS
trict people, the work should be carried
on in the local library.
There are number Of entertainments
for the blind each winter, and lecturers
and authors of note always volunteer
their services. At tho Public Library 1t
Is necessary to have the entertainments
in the afternoons. and when they are
given at night a small fee has to be paid
the janitor for opening the hall. One
of the women who volunteered her serv-
ices heard that this fee was required, and
paid it herself. saying that as long as
she was giving her services she did not
want the recipients to be taxed for the
entertainment
Some of the blind are able to work as
instrument tuners and in other ways to
partially support themselves, and it is
owing to their being employed in the
daytime that the managers of the Blind
Society want to give the entertainments
at night.
Many State Blind Libraries.
Reports received by the local society
show that there are about seventy libra
ries in twenty-four states and territories
that have added blind libraries to their
collections. Many of these libraries arc
poor and the bulk of the small collections
Of blind books owned by them are stand
ard works that have been read by the
blind patrons 1t was hoped that if the
work were continued at the Library of
Congress a system of exchanging the
blind books could be arranged, so as to
give all the readers in turn chance to
read whatever had been printed in the
Braille point. This system Of exchange,
however, has had to be indefinitely post
poned.
Reports have been received each month
from the sales stand that has been es-
tablished in local store for disposing of
the work of the blind. This stand has
been established since the middle Of Oc-
tober, and the receipts have ranged from
SO to 500 each month. 1t Is thought
that the Christmas trade will increase
the receipts materially.
The enterprise so far has been carried
on entirely by voluntary work, and the
blind workers have received all that
was taken in from the sales.
That the blind in the United States
constitute an appreciable factor in the
population is shown by the report of the
census, which gives the blind population
as 64.763. OF these, '5.645 are totally
blind and 29,11S partially blind. The pro-
portion of blind steadily increases as the
age increases. There are 1851 blind be-
tween twenty and thirty years old, and
II All between the ages of seventy and
eighty. The increase is practically 1000
for each decade between these limits.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

1t Is a pleasure to note the fact
that the speakers in the present cam
pa1gn are not disposed to throw mud.
Mr.. Frank Butterworth of New Ha-
ven said in an address for Goodwin,
the other day, Nothing is to be made
by attacking the democratic candidate
for governor. Good men ought rather
to rejoice at the strength of his char
acter, his fitness for the governor
ship. because it requires of republic
cans the best that is in them of merit
and of work to deserve and to gain
victory
And Robert Hunter, the socialist
candidate, wrote in letter to The
New Hacen Journal Courier, to cor
rect a inisstatement: Il did not at
tack fudge Baldwins integrity or rep
uta zion. l do not desire to
rake personal attacks upon my OPP
ponents."
These men see that there is nothing
to be gained by abuse. Calumny never
yet lent force to an argument. The
sure way TO lose the state of Connec-
ticut is to attempt to run a campaign
of misrepresentation. The, issues are
important-the principles involved are
vital The country wide demand is
that the man with the ballot must be
given a square deal. The republicans
at the primary meetings have repud1-
ated the men who were not true to the
welfare of the people. The republican
party is making a fight for cleaner
politics and it is going to win. The
party that condemns it's own wrong
doors is worthy the interest and SUP
port of the people.

THE TOUGHEST MAN.

The newspapers have tried in vain
loi these many years to locate the
meanest man, and no one today after
wears of vigilance can tell where he
lives; and now they are in quest of
the toughest man, and it 10 doubtful If
they can ever locate him. The best
examples of tough men are furnished
by California and Maryland. For in
stance:
At Hagerstown. Md, there is a man
reported to live who was struck by
an automobile going at the rate of
forty miles an hour, and he still capers
and smiles.
In California there is a man who
went to sleep on a railroad track and
was struck by fast train, who es-
capped with only a headache.
New York claims to have a man who
fell three stories and only broke his
collar button. .
And Pennsylvania asserts that a
Harrisburg man fell from a point 100
feet UP a church steeple and Oily
broke a clothes2line.
These are fine examples of the tough
ness which defies Fate, but like patent
medicine testimonials they concern
"happenstances' which mark life too
far from home; hence The Bulle-
tins inoredulity. The writer's of these
paragraphs were perhaps tougher than
their subjects.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE PRESENT UNREST.

Unrest in politics. in business. in
society, in the churches. Unrest in
the Occident and the Orient. Unrest
among the poor and the rich, the edu-
Gated and the ignorant. A general
dissatisfaction with things that are,
a reaching out for something better,
a cutting loose from old meorings. the
severing of long Tina party affilia.-
tions, a general call for this or that
or the other thing from this, that or
the other fellow or Institution. Men
are throwing overheard old aliegiances.
they are forming new compacts and
alliances. Never in the history of the
world was there such a universal fer
ment. Everything is being thrown in
to the melting pot. What shall the
outcome be?
Disquieting indeed to persons of a
conservative temperament is this wide
spread unrest. They see in it a grow
ing tendency on the part of the peo-
pie away from substantial and endur-
ing things and toward superficial in
terests. They are apprshensive OF the
outcome. They would rather have the
world stand pat than move forward
toward uncertain and underlined goals.
| respect this attitude, but I do not
sympathize with it. Stagnation is the
thing 1 dread far more than unrest.
Who really wants to see China now
that it is once awakened from it's
sleep OF centuries, turn over and take
