Nation Has Prospered During the Year,
and Is at Peace With the World
Blessings are Manifold.

The progress of the country, as re-
Elected by the records Of population and
harvests and the general conditions of
international peace, are things for which
thanksgiving is especially due for the
year 1910, according to the annual
Thanksgiving proclamation issued re-
Gently by President Taft. The procla-
nation is as follows:
fThis year of 1910 is drawing to a
close. The records of population and
harvests, which are the index of prog
ress, show vigorous national growth and
the health and prosperous well-being of
our communities throughout the land
and in our possessions beyond the seas
These blessings have not descended upon
us in restricted measure, but overflow
and abound. They are the blessings and
bounty Of God.

1t is promised by those who have the
arrangements in hand that the former

as it has been in the past.
In Denver, when Mr.. Roosevelt comes
down from Cheyenne. he viii be receiv

And so we find the Republican State committee placing all available spell binders in the field. from Candidate Goodwin now to our local orator. Sec retary of State Rogers. Congressman Hill is stumping his district; Geo. B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, who has been a resident of Connecticut, according to Senator BuIkeley, only five years. is speaking here, there and everywhere, and others have been drafted into the service, in sustained effect to check the trend<of public sentiment against the party Candidate Goodwin is as- signed somewhere for nearly or quite every remaining day of the campaign.
 What will be the effect of this ''whirlwind campaign?" In so far as changes of votes by legitimate argu- ment are concerned, we do not be- Iieve that it will be effective; the minds of unpurchasable voters were made up weeks or months ago upon facts which cannot be denied or ob- scured by the sophtstries of the spell binders But the noise and smoke of the Speaking campaign may cover from public attention a very saturna- lia of corruption-the money is .procur- able. the law has been made complais- ant. and the Republican need of votes is great.

The U. S. Steel corporation. more generally known as the Steel Trust, has decided, it is reported, to dispense with the aid of jobbers and to deal di- rectly with the trade and with that end in view, has established or will es- tablish warehouses in central cities. It has withdrawn the liberal concessions heretofore allowed to Jobbers.
 If this move means that the Trusts products will be disposed of to the re- tail trade at the prices heretofore gfv- en to jobbers, or at a reasonable ap- proximation to them. the public will be benefited by the change, but if it sim ply means that the Trust will add the Jobbers commission to it's profits by continuing the retail prices of the past, the change will benefit only the Trust. Judging from the greed for in ordinate profits evinceds by other Trusts, the latter policy will be adopt ed
 The U s. Steel corporation is thus described by MT. John Moody: ..The Steel Trust (lHorgan don1ination-Stan- dard Oil infiuence)." Its capitalization is of the billion dollar type, with a considerable proportion of water according to some authorities. Yet it is one Of the infant iadustries'' which is. under Republican policy, considered in need of tariff protection from for eign competition. although some of it's products. notably steel rails, are sold at lower prices in foreign markets than in this country, and despite the fact that MT. Carnegie, surely an ex- pert, has said that the steel industry could stand alone and does not need tariff protection S
 Now, if indfca tions, do not err. this giant Trust proposes to drive the job bers in it's products out of business and to add their commissions to it's profits. Tn doing this. it follows the example of the Standard Oil Trust, under whose Influence, according to MT. Moody, it works. It remains to be seen, how ever. whether the Steel Trust. under Morgan domination and Standard Oil influence will grasp it's opportun- fly in full or concede to the public some share of the jobbers, commis- sions.

s.WHIRLwIND CANfPAIGN"-
 WHAT IT COVERS.

It is evidently the purpose of the Republican State committee to make what is called "a wF1irlwind campaign of the two weeks preceding the cleo tion on Nov. 9th. This plan is some times adopted to remove prevalent lethargy in the party, but oftener to cover a wholesale corruption Of the suffrage. Tn this year 1910, with wide spread dissatisfaction over the results of Republican rule. and with g. corrupt practices law so enascu1ated by the Republican Legislature of 1909 as to permit bribery with practical safety, both of the purposes above named are evidently in process of more or less satisfactory accomplish hn1ent. The pen dency of a public utilities bill invites. lavish contributions from public ser vice corporations, while the Senator iaI contest is evidently drawing heav- fly upon pIethoric purses.

 their busy mornings in the garden,
 and also about ':the establishment of
 bird preserves, where the nnischievous

 being moIested and from whence they
 may go forth to pillage in garden and

Crossing the ocean by airship, has long been dreamed of. and some writ CTS possessing exceptionally vivid inn aginations have even described future upon our Atlantic coasts by. fleets of afrships from Europe. When Wel1man started upon his project of crossing the ocean with a dirigible bal loon this week. it was believed by some that his success would mean a nearing need for the protection of our coast from aerial attack. But he did not succeed otherwise than in proving that ocean passage by dirigible bal looms is dangerous. if not practically impossible. There still remain, how ever, the ''heavier-thah-ai air ships which may eventually and probably will, succeed in establishing aerial ocean lines.

The nomination of Fillmore s. Banks for representative from Fairfield, is perplexfng. It offers a problem. the solution of which is not upon the sur face Possibly the Fairfield Republi- ally popular DemocratIc nominees. no one else could be elected. But that assumption does not explain Judge Banks willingness to run for an office. all possible honor from which had been previously secured by him. It is not at all probable, in view of his record as Speaker of the House which has been 6fscredited by Stiles Judson, and of his construction of Judiciary committee which emasculated the cor rupt practices act into virtual worth 1essness, that he can be reelected to the ,speakership or that he could se- cure the next best position in the House, viz. the chairInanship of the Judiciary committee.
 E There is another interesting question in connection with this Banks candi- dacy. viz. Will the same as yet un- known agency which, according to MT. Banks, defeated his Senatorial candi- dacy the WestpoTte caucus by the use of money in Judson's interest and which, owing to the very opportune g discovery of en1ascuIation of the cor rupt practices act. still remains unre- veaIed, appear in the same manner against the Banks candidacy for rep resentative?

POLITICAL RUMBLINGs

The political overturning of the
state of Maine which has always vot-
ed the same way for more than tf-
ty years without substantial break
has created untold establishment and
set many minds to thinking of what
it all means.
Tt means that first of all, the spirit
of insurgency is overwhelming thru
out this country. In the eastern
states these radical changes are drift
ing towards democracy and in the
middle west these changes mean the
over throw Of what is called the
stand pat" republicans in favor Of
the progressive republicans. who are
led by Roosevelt, Bristow, Cummings
and La Toilette. This country is now
going through what is really a ba7-
tie with the masses against the priv
lodged classes.
1t has always been the endeavor
Of few to ride upon the backs of the
many and this country is no excep-
ton to the rule.
We have the railroads, the beef
trust. the sugar trust. the coal trust,
the steel trust the coffee trust and
they enrich themselves unjustly.
These corporations dictate the
prices they pay for raw material and
dictate the price that the consumer
must pay for the finished articles
For instance. the beef trust dictates
what the live stock ranchmen shall
receive for hir stock and what the
consumer shall pay for his beefsteal
and pork cho 8.
This condii On of things practical
/ ~ gives the trusts of the country th'
right to run their hands into oui
pockets and do as they please, ans
has become unbearable and the move
ment that is sweeping over this cour
try is a strike at the bosses Of tn
republican states Of the north ant
