The Good Old Days

AS showing the difference i'll public sentiment in Connecticut 100 years ago, an item from the records of the county court of Litchfield is interesting, says the Litchfield Enquirer. This shows that in the fall of 1911 Ambrose Newton and Elijah Adams, grand jurors of this town, filed complaint before Justice of the Peace Julius Deming against "Uriah Parmelee "did at the house of Grove Catlin, innkeeper in Litchfield, exhibit in public manner. tumbling. rope dano
 ing and other feats of uncommon dexter ity and agility of body, against the peace and contrary to the statute entitled an act for suppressing mountebanks, rope dancers, tumblers, etc." Justice Dem- ing bound Parmelee over for trial be- fore the county court in $l00, but the state did not further prosecute this complaint" ... .l

No More Cheap Meat !?

It is evident from the tone of the dem- ocratic press that there will be vigor- uous effort made soon to revise the pres- ent duties on food stuffs. The New York World advises congress to remove all duties ol meats as @ step to reducing the cost of living. The Hartford Times says that if the republicans in congress were free agents, they would follow this advice next week, which is hardly fair even to the standpatters for it implies that they are wholly insincere or mer- cenary in supporting the protective policy. ..
 But nobody loves the beef trusts any way, and unless the vote of the represen- tatives of granger states saved them, the duties might easily be removed by either a democratic or republican congress. Yet there is no reason to suppose that meat prices would then go down to any great extent. The American people have become used to eating cheap meat, but from perfectly obvious reasons, meat is going to be dear hereafter. The country must get used to it. If we imported meat duty from Australia, the Argen- tine and Canada, we should have to cem pete for it in the markets of the world with European countries, and the first result of our abolition of the duties, would be to raise the price of steaks and chops in London, Paris an Berlin.
 The reason that meat is dear and likely to be so dear is that the cities of the United States and of the world are crowded with people who eat meat with out raising any.-Waterbury Republi- can. .t.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April %
With jerk of revolt, all slack il the
factional lines within the democratic
party in Indiana was taken up today
and even counties are divided over
the attitude of Thomas Taggart on
the United States senatorship.
Taggart has become an issue.
William Jennings Bryans telegram
to Governor Marshall. made public to-
day. in which Bryan staunchly up
holds the Marshall plan of endorsing a
senatorial candidate in convention de-
cided the minds of not few demo
crat voters, who heretofore hav. re-
mained neutral on the question OF
naming an opponent for the republican
nominee.
The telegram was opposed to all
| that has made Taggart and all that he
stands for. The deduction is that the
battle must be fought on the question
of whether Taggart or Taggartism are
to remain dominant in tie democratic
party. 1t means the downfall of Tag
cart or the investing of him with more
power This is not denied by any one
and. according to political talk, it is
realized by both sides.

will call for John w. Kern, as mar

that is all that congress now Gems
likely to do before it goes home to
