A DISCLOSURE.

The contradiction of Mr.. Pinchot by
Secretary Wilson with reference to
permission to send a letter to Senator
DolIiver to be read in the senate,
shows clearly enough how it all hap
pened. Before the committee, in re-
Spouse to the query as to whether he
either directly or Indirectly author
lied Pincoht to send that letter to
Senator Dolliver which the latter read
in the senate and which resulted in
Pinchot's dismissal for violation Of an
executive order, Secretary Wilson re-
piled:
Some of the things Mr.. Pinchot has
said here-a good many of them-are
correct, but there are other things
that are not correct. He never got my
consent to send that letter to the SEN
ate. There are two things in it that
would have made it impossible for me
to have given my consent. He also
assumed the authority that was mine
to discipline the officers of my depart
nnent
Mr.. Pinchot didn't tell me he was
going to send a letter of that kind,
dealing with the president. He said he
was going to send something to Sena-
tor Dol1iver regarding departmental
matters If he had said he was go
ing to pass upon the president and
Mr. Price, 1 don't think he would have
ever sent that letter. They kept this
Shaw business from me. l didn't know
anything about it. The question
before this committee is, Did he have
my consent to write that letter? He
did not 1 never saw it. I never
heard Of it until read 1t In the Con-
gressional Record
DO you think I would have agreed
that he should insult the president of
the United States and exercise my
authority over subordinates ?"
Mr. Pipchot apparently received
what he regarded as a permit. and
then wrote his offensive letter and sent
it without consulting his chief as to
the details, and in his dislike of and
ardor ito undo Ballinger, he compro-
missed his chief and undid himself.
Mr.. Pinchot should have let his chief
know the character of the letter and
then he would have had sure footing
for his position.

s.Clarice," cooed the brides dearest
girl friend, you've never told me how
you and Jack happened to get en-
gagged
The bride held back her head and
initial on something white and fluffy.
I've never told a living soui,'' she
said.
Goodness, How exciting, What in
the world
mot one living soul. But if you
promise you'll never tell anybody"
.'Clarice! You know me better than
to think I'd ever breathe a word"
I'd been writing letters in my den and
was bored to death. I'd just broken
off with Howard and 1 hadn't any
hopes of a caller, for Tom was in Can
ada and Martin was working nights on
his law cases and Herbert was out of
town and that nice Mr. Selbert you
girls were all crazy about
Il wasn't, if you mean me, Clarice.
YOU horrid tllingI 1 didn't think he
was nice at all. and I always said he'd
turn out something we didn't expect"
well, he did, when they arrested
him for bigamy- But. then, that hasn't
anything to do with how Jack and l
got engaged.

blessed man 1 knew out of the ques-
ton. and nobody at home except Mabel
studying her Latin on the porch. You
know my den opens right off the end
of the front hail."
The bride paused.
I'D just fixed UP that den," she went
on, 'and I felt so proud of it that 1
had everybody come in there. So
when I heard somebody mount the
front steps as if he belonged to the
family and then say something to
Mabel, / did't bulge.
when Mabel called, Somebody you
know to see you, Clarice,' 1 just said,
Tell him to come straight to the den.'

That Story About Mr.. BROKER.

1t would be difficult to invent any
more ridiculous canard than the story
published on Saturday in the New
York World that Mr.. BrookSr had
been to call on President Taft and had
offered in behalf of the corporate in
terests of the United States to pay off
the deficit of the government if only
the corporation tax might die.
The statement of Mr.. Brooker. given
elsewhere, will be accepted as conclu-
sive, but it strikes US as about as
superfluOus as it is convincing. The
Gourant secured the statement in or
der to convince those who might say
otherwise that he had not himself con-
tradicted the report. But whoever
knows Mr.. BROKER knows that the
whole story is inconsistent with the
mans character. Nobody in the coun-
try can go to Washington and an
nounce himself the spokesman of the
corporate interests and Mr.. BROKER
Norwich bulletin., 1910-03-08

surely neither could nor would figure
in such a capacity.
AS a matter of fact, he has not been
in Washington for a month nor mean
while communicated directly or indi-
rectly with the president. The fairy
tale might as we'll have been attached
to anybod,- else in the country as to
Mr.. BROKER. We trust that the various
papers in this state that have copied
the despatch will do Mr.. BROKER the
Justice of making its contradiction
equally public. Nobody was more sur
prised by it than he was.-Hartford

HOW RETAIL PRICES VARY.

Secretary Wilson, when he showed
that the butchers of Washington de-
manded 40 per cent profit, while the
New York butchers were satisfied with
20 per cent. and that the butchers of
fifty other cities averaged II per cent,
seemed to make clear that local condi-
tons were at the bottom of the pres
ent high prices of provender.
A correspondent, writing the Chi
cago News from Watervliet, Mich.
says:
For the last few weeks we have
noticed how the Meat trust has been
getting pounded from all sides be-
cause, as it is said, it is responsible
for the high prices of meat. Never

question upon which but little has
been said, namely, the retailers side.

HOW TO STOP DRINKING.

habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit Of remorse that

the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system Of
the habitual drinker is diseased and
he must have treatment that will cure
