mittee. Our contemporary confessed
this in rather an ill-humored way, as
If angry at being discovered, but
said It was against his will, and ask
ed us to so announce, which we did.
All this was good humored badinage
on the part of The Herald. Replying
to this, in its last issue the Hart
ford Republican says:
The Hartford Herald in this
weeks issue undertakes to use
it's old game of laughing out of
court its charges against the ed
itor of this paper of inconsist-
ency, because he had some
years ago held an appoint
i've Office and at the same time
acted as chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee,
which was fully explained in our
last issue, and in such a way
that the editor of The Herald
had no ground upon which to
stand for his base insinuation
and he therefore gets down
and crawls out as usual, with
dust on his nose.
It is said that "whom the gods
would destroy, they first make mad"
In the latter part of the above quot
ed paragraph the Republicans edi-
tor falls into the depths of billings
gate and vile abuse unbecoming an
honorable antagonist. By his own
confession he was only a few years
ago both holding an appointive Of
fee and chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee of his party at one
and the same time. Evidently sup
posing that the public had forgotten
this political incident, he now twists
about and takes the editorial ground
that such an attitude as he formerly
occupied is contrary to party usage
and decency. Because The Herald
jokingly reminded him of his polit-
ical inconsistency and seeming du-
plicity, he now proceeds to play the
plagued schoolboy act and display
his i'll humor in vicious and insult
ing language-the weapon of the
bully.
Evidently the shoe fits, but has
tacks in it. Such tactics are as dis
gushing as they are pltiful. 4 man
ly acknowledgment in a kindly tone
would have much better closed the
incident. The fact that the Hart
ford Republican has grown unpopu-
lar with some of the leading mem
bers of its own party on account Of
its editorial utterances, seems to
have thrown 1t into a spasm of self
laceration that bids fair to prove
serious.
The Herald cares little for the Re-
publican's political confusion or par
ty fights, but we hope its editor will
bear in mind the amenities of edi-
torial courtesy, in replying to a mild
squib that contained no word of un-
kindness or abuse.

EXPENSIVE HORSESHOEING
PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS

One hundred and forty dol
lars for street car tickets
$237.66 for horseshoeing, $429.55
for soap and brushes! These
are few of the small ex-
penditures of the state department
of the Government in 1909. The
horseshoeing item is a gem as a
sample of the much boosted Taft
policy of "cut-to-the-quick" econo-
my. The item of $237.66 refers to
the shoeing of four horses for one
wear!

How do straight Republicans like
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas of new
nationalism" anyhow? In what way
do many of Mr.. Roosevelt's present
theories differ from Mr.. Bryan's doc
trines of past years and from former
Democratic platforms? Is there any
material or antagonistic difference?
Not so that you would notice it. Old

selves up against a queer proposition
nowadays.

Republican spellbinders find It
hard to explain away the present
high prices in living expenses. The
old Mckinley tariff argument of
Cheap man and a cheap coat" does
not meet the question, for the cheap
coat is now cotton instead of wool,
and the poor man can hardly afford
that, while the present tariff is all
the time advancing prices.

The growing custom of taking sed-
atives and sleeping powders on ship
board cannot be too strongly con-
demned. Cocaine, morphine and
similar depressants are contained in
most of these elixirs, and, while ef-
fective enough when administered by
a regular physician, such things are
extremely risky when employed in an
unscientific, haphazard manner. While
morphine may make q person sleep,
its other effects are often dissipation,
and in many persons 1t eXcites vomit-

quence, the prudent voyager Will

This may be all very true, but also it
is true that their effects are not linn
tied to the stomach, while, further
than this, with healthy persons the
vomiting of seasickness is by no
means alarming. Indeed, severe
fetching without vomiting, is often
more painful and harmful than the
vomiting, and fully as disagreeable.
