William A. Pinkerton was talking in Chicago about the interesting statis- tics of his recently published report.

POLITICAL MISREPRESENTATION

Of late there has been contributed to the press many false statem ents concerzing the political conditions in Norwich and in the Third congress sionai district. The Bulletin has been surprised by the assertions made con- corning the indignities heaped upon Mayor Lippitt and the stories spread about the dfsahectton of the republi cans of this congressio ona1 district
 Mayor Lippftt has not been making any complaint; and The Bulletin, which Is in a position to know what is going on in "the Rose of New Eng land" sees no reason why he should He fs held in such es$eem by his par ty that no one hears a single protest against his succession to the treasury ship of the state, and his can ndidacy seems to be received with a popular favor which assures his entering the convention for the nomination of state officers with the necessary backing to secure his acceptance if he desires the honor.
 IL Is a fact that the Third congress SfonaI district was never better satis- lied with It's representative in con- gress than now, and its unity and en- thuEtasn for Congressman Higgins 1-enomination has not been excelled in it's political history. Congressman Higgins is very much more of Q doer than a taiker and his fist of achieve rnents during his three terms Is not surpassed by the achievements of any predecessor. He is a representative who not only faithfully serves his con stttuents. but who is "on his job" and earns his salary.
 When the time comes for the nom mating convention there will be no is- sue with him. for he has proved to be a servant of the whole people, and to have so well cared for the interests of his district that 1t entertains no thought of a successor. The fruits of ilis service are ample and his reward Is surei

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let Us Have the Truth

Mir. Editor: I noticed in today's (Friday's) issue. this paragraph, Re failers Not Responsible" and goes Joyfully on to say that if there is any are surely not responsible (of course not, it is always the other fellow. ev- cry time) We will admit, however, that the Meat trust is in a large meas ure to blame Cbut not quite wholly) for the outrageous retail high prices of meat We are also willing to admit that the retailer is. to a large extent. in the clutches of the Meat trust and has to depend largely on them for their supplies. which means, Pay their prices! and e high cost to the re- taller means high price to the con- sumner. We have no feeling for the trust and it certainly does not need any. It has demonstrated for years its capacity to look out flor itself and to gather in most of our dollars, and we have also noticed that while the retailer IS naturally such. a modest fei- low he has at last forgotten it and much thought of the consumer and there is no knowing how long this would have continued if the people had not at last become aroused and a national boycott of meats started all over the country
 Another statement the writer made that it is notorious that rea1lers are forbidden to buy domestic cattle and Now, MT. Reader, this statement is false. The facts of the case are that 65 per cent. of the retailers know nothing whatever about dressing c2t- tie and would know no more what 10 de with live steer than a white el- eptant. In the second place, the ma dority of the retailers have no neces- sary conveniences for dressing cattle and have learned to depend wholly on the refrfgerators; zbut the retailer could buy cattle if The chose just as well as he could potatoes. and no risk of being penalized. Give us the truth in these matters.

An old grouch says that many a man who denies that marriage is a failure has not the face to say that it is not a compromise" He does not seem to know that compromise is in- cluded in the art of progressive gov ernment. I should hardly dare ven ture assert this if there was not such eminent authority for it. If compro- mise is such a virtue in government as President Taft thinks, it must be a real merit in matrimonial affairs, so Old Crouch cannot make a taunt of it. I do not blame some women for desiring to compromise when they got out of the matrimonial game. I speak advisedIy, for If life is a game, and politics is a game, matrimony loses no caste in being classed with them.

A grest many people do not realize that Self-love is essential, and not sin. Self-love and selfishness are as wide-apart as the Antipodes. When the Saviour gave the world a new com- nrandment, he said: Love thy neigh bor as myself. and the Lord thy God with all thy heart.'' If a man did not love himself he would not know how to love his neighbor, for his love for himself was made the measure of his love for his neighbor, which must ere ate a golden rule relationship. This recognition of self-love by the Saviour makes it divine. and it is the very love by which he must become real broth CT of man and a true son of God Self preservation is the first law of nature, and self-love seems to be the first measure for divine conduct. It is the open door to better things.

Proverbs are signposts along the road of time; and when we see in the scrap heap of time that all oeacons are good, but there's odds in deacons, we can just imagine the rest. It was not necessary to say more. We see there, too that there are no weeds that walt so quick as the weeds of the widower." Our observing forbears have left us many treasures of this sort.
