The Miners Sacrifice, Thrilling West
 ern Drama.

In the great film story of today at the Breed theater, the title of which is The Miners Sacrifice. there is an abundance of western atmosphere and scenery. It is a great story of young man who starts out from the east for the gold fields and, being tenderfoot, he is given a warm reception, but he makes good by giving the bad man of the camp the beating of his life. This starts the story and the friendship of the two men. They start together for the gold fields. make a stake and think fortune Is ahead of them. when they are accused of claim jumping The bad man thinking to get out of the pre- dicament. skiDs with the gold, leaving the young customer to bear the brunt Of the accusation. He is captured and it looks like a clear case of lynching, but the bad man. hearing of his part ners peril. although wounded unto death -hurries to the scene of the lynching and with his last breath ad- rEits his guilt and restores his old pal to life and freedom.
 This is but one of the big attrac- tfons at the Breed for this week. an- other being the ma agnifcent mediaeval drama, The Call to Arms, by the Bio graph company.
 Miss Lillian Lord, soprano, is the new soloist of the Breed. who will be heard in new and attractive illustrated songs.

Sassy" Mayor Thayer.

That mayor of Norwich. what 9 sassy man is he-ambitious. ingen- resourcefui and sometimes reckless in hyiriing defiance at the heads of ''tra- dttion," established scustom and things that have been so since the days of Old Abe Lincoln"
 Just fancy Julius Caesar ordering a vanilla ice cream soda with a straw and a spoon. Just fancy a candidate for the United States senate saying will try to end express extortion by y5ting for the package post bill and trying to induce others to do so.
 Not another Connecticut candidate fer congress has so declared. Is there one other who dare so declare?
 The people ought to see to it that no candidate dare to do otherwise than to declare and so act if opportunity of fers for him to represent the people of this state.
 Mayor Thayer knows that the ex- press grab is without justification and that the way to stop it is to pass the parcels post bill.
 Last year the Adams Express com pany is said to have paid 80 per cent. dividends on all the capital actually invested in the business. Seventy-four per cent. of that vast sum was unjustly taken from the pockets of the people who are obliged to patronize the Ad- anls Express company because con- grees failed to pass the parcels post bill
 Major Tilson. did you do anything to help stop this extortion? If not why not9
 Major you desire to be- renominated and reelected. If you are renominated and reelected will you do all you can tc push the parcels post bilt2
 The same questions should !.e asked of all the other candidates.
 Mayor Thayer has hit upon a vital issue and one that no candidate can dodge in this mpaign.-New Haven Times-Leader.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Legislative Clubs Dinner.

Mir. Editor: While not Connecticut lawmaker since 1900, by virtue of my long service to the state and S2 l was able to get near enough to the Collon ade at Savin Rock last Wednesday, to hear some talk and not go hungr%. The concensuS of opinion, as I heard it, seemed to be that Charley Hopkins" as your mayor irreverently calls him, had bit off more than he could chew" When he raised his E,benezer two years ago, with the avowed intention of downing Senator Brandegee he "did his darndest" without success. Now he proposes to lift a nice man from oblivion and put him in the executive chair in the capitol with one hand. while with the other he Seefns to think he can knock out man that is not only a fighter himself buA has host of fighting friends.
 The first time I saw Morgan G. Bulkeley he came in the secretary's office to urge Secretary David Torrance to appoint a friend of his to the chief clerkship. While I considered that l was only temporarily holding the chair impressed. but later on I learned to admire his sterling qualities. His con- duct of the governors office during the trying times of the hold over" was pay him for what he went tPtouSh at that time. But very few wefe placed as I was and knew. MT. Clark has one advantage in his fight to down oendlOr buikeley that ho missed III HIS fight against Senator Brandegee.
 There is no question but that Me Lean has brains is well as money. In this race, however, he is carrying too much weight. Boomerangs are danger ous. especially when they come back with a sickening thud, as in the Dan bury hatters' case.
 Beside that people get to be aware of the fact that the same contemptible tactics are being used to defeat Bu1ke- ley that were used against his col league two years ago. Bukeley's age is urged as a reason why he should not be e-elected senator.
 Whats the matter with McLean's age? He is young. Let him "bide a wee" and he can easily win che sena- torial race-if he gets in the saddle himself.
