and take them to school and to take
them home every evening. All the
children within a radius OF several
miles are thus taken to one school.
1t is found to cost less proportion
ately to build and equip enc large
central school house than it does to
build and equip several smaller
ones. Libraries and reading rooms
are provided for these schools, lee
ture courses are easily arranged, and
the children brought together in
such large numbers are properly
graded; class spirit is engcndcrcd,
and greater pride and love for the
school room fostered.
Church attendance would also be
stimulated by road Improvement.
When one has a nice smooth road to
travel over he doesn't mind driving
three or four miles to church. Small
congregations would thus be aug
mcnted. The people would become
interested in and take pride in
their churches. Larger and more
comfortable churches would be built.
and both children and grown people
would attend church more regularly
than they do now with our bad roads
and distant and uncomfortable
churches; for church-Gong is not

DR.. Lyman Abbott on Election.

New York, Nov. ll.--Dr. Lyman
Abbott editor Of The Outlook, Of
which Mr. Roosevelt is contributing
editor. to-day gave out his CDR. Ab-
hott'sl Interpretation OF the recent
election, embodied in an editorial TO
appear in the next issue Of that pub
lication. He attributes the overturn
chiefly to "pOpular dissatisfaction
with present conditions, especially
with the high prices; indignation at
the manifest control of the special in
tereStS OF the tariff revision, and still
more at the defcnses and eulogies Of
the tariff bill; wrath at the corrup-
ton and the hypocritical pretenses
disclosed in certain influential Re-
publican circles coupled with the for
getfulness Of the fact that the EXPO
sure and the prosecution were fur
nished by Republicans"
He also cites the facts that The Re-
publican party was divided between
the insurgents and the regulars.
while the Democratic party, freed
from the traditions Of Cleveland, and
the personality Of Bryan, was, for
the first time in years, united-as
causes which combined to bring
about political revolution.

THE JUDGE OF PROBATE.

Judge Nelson J. Ayling of the pro-
bate court, in his address to the re-
publican nominating convention. called
attention to the missionary work
which it fell to him to do because of
the consciousness that many of the
clients of the probate court We're en-
gagged in unfamiliar business and
needed personal assistance in their
duties from some competent person.
This is one of the finest qualifications
a competent judge of probate can
manifest, service, by the way. that
is not common, and the one which
strongest commends him to the inter
est and support of the voters of the
district The affairs of his court are
ably. honestly and alphabetically
conducted, and no one is more careful
~ guarded than the inexperienced
handlers of little estates. Judge Ayl-
ing is the kind of a man forty pro-
bate districts of Connecticut have
united upon by party action; and also
of the type that the people will unite
upon and re-eleet in most of the other
IS districts. All parties will vote for
Judge Ayling's continuance in Office.

The Killing Of Mallard Ducks.

According to James Henry Rice,
Jr., naturalist of high repute one of
the finest of aquatic game birds, the
beautiful mallard duck, is absolutely
doomed to extinction unless better
work is done by many of the states
for his preservation.
AT Big Lake, Ark, in one winter a
single pot hunter sold 5000 mallards.
and from that point 120,66 of them
were sent to market. II is estimated
that in the parish OF CaIcasie La.
last winter $50 900 of them were killed
and tons of them were slaughtered at
Lake Malheur, Ore, for their feathers.
a few years ago in Canada, along the
Great lakes UP to Hudson bay the
robbery of hatcheries was a regular
industry and millions of n1allard eggs
were sold. their contents being used
in the manufacture of glue. Canada
with her customary genius for con-
serNation. has put AN end 10 this wick
ed traffc.
Most states, if not all provide close
seasons for ghe benefit Of the nallard
But the harm is done by the fearful
slaughter permitted during the open
time. No birds can long survive the
annual killing of millions Of their Kind.
Unless the pot-hunter and the game
hog are repressed, the mallard Will
soon be like the wild pigeon-sought
after earnestly, but never und.-Bos-

SUPPORT YOUR REPRESENTA-
TIVES

AS the general assembly of 1911 will
elect a senator, every republican
should realize the importance of see
ing that the republican nominees are
chosen. for this secures republican SUI
premacy and supports the administra-
ton of President Taft, than whom
there has never been an ADLER or more
progressive Chief Executive.
The republican representatives, Hen
~ w. Tibbits and Albert j. Bailey, are
men in every way qualified to guard
and promote the interests of the town
ana state, and to aid in the selection
of a senator who viii have an eye to
the welfare of all deserving interests
and give hearty support to Tafts ad-
ministration.
The triumph of the party of free
trade means overturned policies, the
temporary destruction of confidence
and a reign of hard times, enforced
fdleness and depleted bank accounts
4 vote for republican representa-
tiyes is a vote for the most satisfac-
tory governmental policies America
has ever known.

OCTOBER TEOROLOGlCALLY
CONSIDERED.

October was the warmest October
but one in thirty years, and the dry
EST for forty The temperature rose
TO 30 degrees twelve times, and for
two days was at So. which is within
i've degrees of the hottest October
wea ther ever known. There have only
been four Octobers in forty years that
less rain has fallen. The heaviest
rainfall in the month for that period
was in 1887, when it total1ed S.S4. The
shortage of rainfall for the present
year in the neighoorhood of Boston
has been 1893 inches.
The year 1919 has been excessively
warm, averaging over two degrees
above normal daily ever since the year
began, making a total of SAG degrees
in excess of normal The excess of
heat for October was 121 degrees, and
the mean temperature $50. There We're
two thunder storms during October.
and these are said 10 be AN omen of a
cold winter.

THE VOTER AND THE BALLOT.

The Australian ballot forces con-
centration. Every elector must have
his mind on the ticket he is to vote.
The other tickets are as if they were
not there.
As a partisan voting a straight
ticket, the elector simply makes a
cross in the ring at the top of the
ticket he intends to vote.
The blank spaces, or blocks, at the
left of the ticket, have nothing to DO
with him.
II the voter wishes to vote for part
of the candidates on his ticket he sim
ply writes the names of the candidates
he intends to vote for in the CORE
spending spaces of the blank ticket
at the extreme right of the Australian
ballot
If any eIector desires to vote for a
candidate of any other party than his
own. he just makes cross well with
in the space TO the left of the name
Of the candidate he wishes to vote for.
The sample tickets printed in The
Bulletin are not legal and would not
be counted if dropped into the ballot
box

ANTI-TARIEF.

Another false pretense of Candidate
Jodoin's-that instead of demand and
supply, the tariff regulates market
prices.
He quotes in a circular he is having
distributed two weeks store bill in
1896 and 1910 and it is so contrasted
that it stands s1O.17 to s1s.11 The
people have work and money to buy
things with now. in 1895 they didn't
have.
Mr.. Jodoin claims the republican
party protects the trusts-in two demo-
cratic administrations what did they
Go to halt them? The most conspicuous
thing his party did was to find the
Sherman act too defective for practical
use; but Roosevelt used the Sherman
act against the trusts so effectively
that he got several violators of the law
into prison and made all the trusts in
the country enemies of the republican
party.
Mr.. Jodoin is a stand patter, just az
he charges Congressman Higgins with
being. He stands pat for wisconsin,
the destrultion of confidence in bust
ness, Which must result in idle factories
ami mills. and starving workmen, the
distribution of free clothing, the OPEN
ing of soup houses, and all the troubles
which were brought to the laboring
classes under President Cleveland
term of office and for some years after.
Congressman Higgins stands pat for
the law that protects labor as well as
business. and which keeps wages high :
er in America than in any other coun-
try in the world.
The voters in making a. choice of
candidates should not overlook these
facts
Norwich bulletin., 1910-11-05
The CONFUSING VOICES.

In his able address at Winsted on
Thursday night, the Hon. George 3.
Mclean presented the subject of the
tariff in most impressive way. He
told the voters that "a thousand voices
to the right tell him that free trade
is wise, a thousand voices to the left
tell him that free trade is folly; a
thousand voices in front tell him that
free raw material is the thing; a thou
sand voices in the rear tell him that a
tariff for revenue only is a solution of
the problem: a thousand voices be-
meath tell him that the tariff is to
blame for the high cost of living, and
a thousand voices above him tell him
that this is in no degree true.
@.NoW, a sane man must conclude
that, as all these voices cannot be
right. somebody must be wrong, and
with such relia BILE and impartial tes-
timony as he can get he must try to
locate the mistake, and in this en-
deavor he can easily concede that all
parties at heart desire the prosperity
of the nation.
Everyone knows how Ireland's
$4,000 cotton and wooden spinners and
weavers dwindled to less than 1900,
as result of the removal of her pro-

sure, are mere incidents, but the fact
that after 1000 years or more of
thought and experiment all the ma
tons of the earth but one have ap-
proved and adopted protective tariffs
is not an incident; it is upon the tes-
timony of many witnesses based upon
the testimony of one witness based
7, the nf atp
years.
Illustrating one effect of the protec-
tive tariff, Mr.. Mclean said:
When the stocking schedule came
up before the ways and means COM
mittee last year it appeared that two
| thirds of the standard grades OF
| stockings worn in this country were
made in Germany and that as a con-
sequence from 10000 to 1000 Ameri-
| can stocking makers were working
| half-tine. The importers. of course
were opposed to raising the tariff. The
| great concern of Marshall Field & Co
| of Chicago did it's utmost to prevent
a change. Mr.. Payne of the commit
| tee asked the representative of Mar
shall Field & Co. what profit they
made on stockings at the then prices
! He declined to state Mr.. Payne asked
| him if he was making from so to 100
| per cent, and he declined to deny it
| The duty on stockings was raised .01S
| pair. Within few months the
American mills resumed work on full
/ time and in less than six months
| stockings that had sold four pairs fol
a dollar were selling six pairs for a
| dollar. If time permitted [ could null

! tariff has encouraged home capital
and invention to compete in the manu-
| facture of articles formerly purchased
| abroad at prices to suit the seller, and
| that home competition has soon great

The singular thing about non-at-
tractive goodness is that you encoun-
ter it frequently in religious circles.
That eminent Wesleyan preacher who
died not many years ago in London,
Hugh Price Hughes, once said concern
ing one of his deacons: Hs is very
good man, but he doesn't remind one
of the Lord Jesus Christ" There, pr
ably, was man absolutely upright,
who never deviated from the straight
path, whose title was absolutely clear
to mansion in the skies, but who
somehow lacked that touch of beauty
and charm which We associate with
the highest type of human personality.
In not a few churches we can find. if
we look for them, similar men and
women who never discredit the Christ
ian profession but who do not fulfill
the apostles injunction by adjoining
the gospel which they profess. There
is something so stiff, angular. formal,
unbending about their righteousness
that it fails of itself to win imitators
so we should be ambitious to become
not only righteous but winsome. Yet
here again we may defeat our purpose
by sedulously cultivating it. The mo-
ment we set at work deliberately to
become nice" that moment seif-cou-
sciousness springs up and thrives. The
faifest overfowing of character. the
esscence of all real power over others
is genuine humility Once let a man
cherish the notion that he is popular
and interesting, and the bacillus of
conceit has begun to eat away the finer
tissues of his manhood. At the root of
the goodness that repels rather tina n
invites human imitation and conf
dence is usually some form of pride
eating away like a canker at mans
better life. II tends to make him self
righteous. 10 lead him TO gather the
mantle of his virtue about him and
Withdraw from the rank and file lest
he should be possibly contaminated
Norwich bulletin., 1910-11-05
Such goodness become. less and les.

Such goodness becomes less and less
nice as time goes on. II may be
respected, but it is not admired and
really liked. 1t seems to have taken its
possessor out of the flowing stream
of human life and to have put him
on an island by himself Or. to change
the figure. the light that is in him, In
stead of radiatns forth far and wide
into the darkness about him, is cir
cumscrfbed by being confined within
the bushe1 basket of his own self COM
placency.
So the great cure for attractive
goodness is to put whatever virtue or
grace you possess in direct contact
with tho needs of men. We want to he
more than good. we must be good for
something. Goodness. unre lated to suf-
ferne and SORROW 10 he sin and to
the shame Of other men. becomes d
purely private affair 1T may get one
into heaven but it does not bring
back into the personal life the love
which goodness always produces when
it is set TO work in order TO effect
changes in the life of others.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
GOODNESS VERSUS NIcENEss.

Make the bad people good" prayed
the little girl, "and the good people
nice" Who has not at times echoed
this petition? We approve and respect
goodness, whatever its outward ap-
pearance, but If goodness can also be
attractive it carries more influence with
us. A bright girl once remarked con-
corning a college classmate of mine
that he was the first good man she
ever met whom she really liked. The
rest of us thought her observation ex-
tremely unpleasant It virtually I'M
piled that we were either bad or not
nice, and neither horn of the dilemma
was acceptable. However, as the man
who had won the young fady's favor
was at the same time the most popular
man in our class, we endured tina COM
parison and congratulated our fotu-
nate comrade.
