Boston, Jan. 25.-The centre OF in

A grand jury investigation into the

Senator Bristow of Kansas sounds
a popular note when he says: Rev

of the average household expenses
and II ought to be cheaper today in
stead Of dearer than 1t was twenty
i've years ago, because of the greater
economy in It's preparation and sale.
When was boy, rs percent OF the
carcass went TO waste. Now, moth

Thus far the meat boycott has
met with greater success in the west.
Other sections of the country are not
yet decided that the proper remedy
is being applied, and the fear IL often
expressed that boycott. though eff
fective as a protest, does not lift the
mark Mt which II is aimed. In other
words, II will be the small dealer and
not the packer who will suffer. This
may be said to represent the position
OF many laDOr unions.
There can be no doubt. however.
that the movement has focused the
OF the nation upon the need
OF economy. President Brown OF the
New York Central lines says: Tho
most portentous cloud on the poliu-
cal or economic horizon is the steady,
increase in price OF every
thing that goes to make up the cost OF
living"
Cities where the boycott has been
in operation report large decrease
in the consumption Of meat, some
drop in prices and many small deal
ers forced to the wall. There will be
a mass meeting in Boston either Fri
day or Saturday to discuss the whole
situation.

Connecticut a Republican State.

Connecticut is a republican state.
There is no reason for it to go back

President Tafs-A Republican Year.

Washington, Nov. 2.-President Taft
made public today a letter from w. &.

congressional campaign committee, in
which he takes a most roseate view of
republican prospects at next Tuesdays

regarding the situation is enthusiastic
to a marked degree.
This Will Turn Out to Be Republican
Year.
He says that what some people rec
ognized as a democratic year in July
will turn out to be a republican year
in November. Mr.. Mckinley indicated
that in his opinion the democrats have
not the slightest chance of gaining q
majority in the next house.
The making public of the Mckinley
letter, it is said, will be the last act Of
the president in the present campaign.
1t was reported today that Mr.. Taft
might write a letter on the New YORK;

Colonel Brady says he was one OF a

Spaniard Was Later Executed.
NOf course I did not see this man
turn on the switch which set free the
powerful mines that caused the dis

de nee in the case pointed directly 10
his guilt. Three other army officers
whose names I do not care to We,
and myself, reported to the president
that in our belief, Zavaldo was re-
sponsible. He was later executed on
the command of General Blanco. None,
however, was ever able to learn for
what reason"

army officers. A flotilla of torpedo
boats will patrol the course and the
teroplane will be launched from a plat
form 100 feet in height built on the
forward deck Of the ship. This incline
will have a drop of 10 per cent, the

success of the experiment. In launch

proposal is to advocate the holding OF
democratic and republican primaries
on the same night throughout the state
but the plan as outlined is not in the
nature of joint caucuses as adopted in
Massachusetts. A second change to
make it rule that all voting on nom
ination of delegates TO district, and
other conventions, shall be by roll call
vote. This would carry with 1t the
more important procedure of having
state convention nominations in which
there are contests made by roll call.
The adoption of such a plan would al
so carry with it roll call vote in cau-
cuses such as that held by the repub
licans to select a candidate for the
United States senatorship.
What action will be taken by the

AS matter of fact the spectators
did not pay much attention to the

watching Charles f. willard of AM

circling about overhead. The opening
bomb was three quarters of an hour
late in going aloft. but willard had
taken his Curtiss biplane up before

who brought his Bleriot monoplane
from the railroad station at Hale
