LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Where Is He Att?

MT. Editor: All who have read Trun- bulls articles in the New York Sunday Herald for weeks past are aware that Trumbull, for some reason, is very de- sirous that ex-Governor Mclean shall take the place of Morgan G. Bulkeley in the United States senate.
 Of course there must be some req son for his enthusiasm in the matter. Possibly it is only his affinity with the editor of the Hartford Courant. There seems to be no valid reason why these two should not think alike.
 Trumbull can frankly acknowledge that, as 3 disciple of the late Professor Sumner he has no use for protection. His Hartford friend, being differently situated, has to take 1t out in abusing stand patters," al he calls all repub- Hcans that stand by the principle of protection that. during the last quarter of q century, has made the republican party and this country what it is. And hereby hangs a tale. Nobody knows just where ex-Governor Mclean stands so far as the general public is concern ed If he is a republican, standing by the principles of his party. Trumb bull, the editor of the Courant, and a whole lot of dem ocratic editors that are boom ing him as against Senator Bulkeley ought to know it.
 The editor of the Courant might, un- der the circumstances, with tears run ming down his cheeks, stand pat but Trumbull would be under no obligation SO I1E dS we kIOW. IO OO SD. He 1dsS no grievance against Senator Bulke1ey
 On the other hand, if the gentlemen referred to are posted and ex-Governor Mclean, if elected to represent Con necticut in the United States senate, proposes to tag after La Toilette and Cummins, the republican voters of Connecticut ought to know it. Whils there are undoubtedly a few republi- cans in Connecticut that deprecate the fact that our forefathers rebeIled against England's idea of supplying this country with manufactured goods and taking foodstuffs in exchange and while there are republicans that, hav- ing acquired a competence under pro- lection and retired, want to hire and buy cheap, and while there are republi- cans that are scared at the howl of stand patters" and the bogey of Uncle Joe Cannon, it is still true that a great majority of the republicans of Con- necticut believe that protection of home industries and home workers has plac-

AGAINST BENzoATE OF SODA.

The benzoate of soda war which di- vided the administration forces is not over. The canners are opposed to it and the Indiana Gamers association recently passed a strong resolution against the use of any continental conservatives except sugar, salt, spices and vinegar, and pledging the associa- tion ito the enforcement of all laws which make for food purity and sani- tation."
 The Indiana canners were doubtless stirred to this action first, because of Secretary wilson's interference with the proceedings of the national con- veAtion of canners; and, second, be- cause of the testimony regarding un- sanitary packing house conditions that necessitate the use of benzoate of soda, which is being produced in the Indiana courts at this time. where the friends of the preservative are seek ing to force their goods upon the peo- pie of Indiana against the prohibition of the state board of health
 The two concerns which were most influential in securing the appoint ment of the Remsen board which re- suited in the overturning of Dr. Vii ley's inhibition of benzoate of soda and Secretary Wilson's subsequent championship of the drug, are the prime movers in tIe suit against the Indiana state board of health One of these firms labels it's product as preserved with 1-10th of one per cent. and the other with 1-12th of one per cent benzoate of soda. Dr. w. D. McAbee, assistant chemist of the state board of health testifying for that board, swore that he had analysed six bottles of ketchup made by each of the firms in question: He found that instead of 1-10th of one per cent. being used the analysis showed from III to .1s7 per cent, or nearly double the amount stated on the label. In the case of the firm claiming to use 1-12th of one per cent. the analysis revealed the presence of amounts ranging from .307 to .327 per cent, or about four times the amount stated by the manufacturers.
 It would seem as if the administra- tion will shortly be compelled to take cognizance of the matter, for the reg ulations permit the use of the drug only when the amount used is stated on the labels and the testimony in the Indiana case has conclusively shown that it is understated in practically every instance.

BEHIND THE AGE.

II would not do for any men except those high fn the legal profession to tell the people that American iuris- prudence is one hundred years behind inc times; but since the criticism Ina s authority 'behdnd 1t. it's interest to the readers of The Bulletin will be there by enhanced
 A +of-1- committee of the National Ear association and the National Civ sc federation recently made a report, in The course of which was remarked :
 The system under which the law is edr1nix1ered in this country is 100 ears behind the age
 The procedure in equity cases is a scandal to our jurisprudence.
 Many cases are decided not on their merits but purely on technical ques- lions
 Not only has something got to be ssone about it. but something will be done about it.
 We all hope that something will be ,7ore abont it The laws delays and the weakness of the courts upon inn rortant state and national matters have cost them the respect of the people. If the law met important is sues as it should, there would be an end of mob law in this country. To ths sAzty of the courts is chargeable an increase of disorder and crime.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY SYSTEM.

While the political tendency in New England is back to the direct primary system a better method of proced- ure the trial of it at the west shows that it does not cure indifference to pufzic affairs, or improve the situation to any extent A change in the met tie and temper of the voter is the thing that is needed and it is not so readily brought about.
 A despatch from Indianapolis con- corning the result of the primaries at the recent election states that the count of the votes cast just completed shows that neither party cast over 33 per cent of it's total vote. While the republican vote is more than 3O,oO0, some of the candidates were noninat- cd on a vote Of little more than 4,0O0 and some Of the democratic candidates than the republican vote at the last than t.ooe votes
 The people won't come out to pri -na-ies.'' says a leading Indiana poli- tic1an, and it isn't worth while to try -o get them out. Here were more than a hundred candidates for office, yet less than one-third of the voters came to the polls. And now we have men on the ticket nominated by less than one-eighth of the voting strength of the party, and the other seven-e -eigfths under no obligations whatever to sup port them"
 How to interest citizens in politics and then to keep them interested is a problem which Is not likely to be cas- tIv solved It is apparent enough that the direct primaries will not do it.

 "One night last winter I had just [ returned home from long and heart breaking drive in the country. It was a beastly night The wind was blow ing from seventeen directions at once, and the roads were a fright was just going to bed when the telephone bell rang and received the information that Col. Cutters fast trotting mare was doubled up with the collie at his farm seven miles in the country. l couldn't afford to slight the colonel, as he was one of my best patrons. He is one of the richest men in this part of the country. He has big stock farm and I can't imagine why he wants to go to congress.
 Ut will cost him a lot of money to be elected, if he ever is elected, and l think his chances are slim. He is the old original stand-patter and has no use whatever for this insurgent move ment! The last time l was talking with him he said that he had no par ticular admiration for Cannon, Payne and Aldrich as individuals, but they stood for policies which have made this country rich, and it would be danger ous to overturn these policies. l told hirn-"

My own team was too tired to take out again, so hired old Sandy Patterson to haul me in his rig. Sandy has been trying to get a pension for thirty years and is always turned down, for the trifiing reason that he never was in the war. He is naturally bitter against the gov- ernment, and all the way out to the coloneFs he was insisting that the ad- ninistration is playing into the hands of the Guggenheims.

Law for Axiators.

The German police have fearlessly, if not rashly. grappled with one of the problems arising from the progress of the flying art. They arrested an avia- tor for flying over Berlin and had him fined $50. This was put on the ground that the very act of flying over a city endangered the lives of cit iZens.

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The democrats have reason to fee well over the results of Mondays cleo ton, when they swept the field clear with an average majority Of Al.
 The republicans were surprised, but they Asvs cause for pride in being able to pass . balance to the enemy equiv sier< to a one mill tax on the grand list instead Of a deficit
 The defeated party also has the con- soietisn or knowing that it has a clean record and its rejection was not because of its sins The Bulletin does rot remember a party defeat und CT just such conditions. but it is appar- -ent ensugh that the people wanted a change, and made it.
 There is often cause for joy in de feat. and it Is not lacking now. It was good judgment on the part of the voters when they determined to re- elect Charles F. Thayer to she mayor zIty to give him a complete democratic council which turns over to him the entire government and puts upon him and his party the full responsibility for the city administration.
 Albert g. Cornetocic headed one of the cIeenest and ablest tickets put in nomination by the republicans for many years, and the rejection of the ticket does not affect the c1eanness or character of the men who were willing to serve the citizens if they were fla vored with the major vote.

 The reasoning of the Berlin doc Urine may be good. but it seems to somewhat lack in sense of proportion. We do not know what they do to scorching automobilists in the German capital, but in harmony with the avia- ton precedent the automobile interest would be likely to spend most of their time in prison. Before our police ap- ply the Berlin rule to aviators they should first quell the reckless auto drivers.-Pittsburg Despatch.
