 Dear Sir:-Through an oversight I find that your letter of October 24th has not received reply. You are, of course, aware of the fact that the Republican Party in it's platform as adopted at its State Convention en- dorses a Practical Public Service Commission. In accepting my nom- ination stated clearly that I en- dorsed that platform, and therefore feel thate my position on this impor- tant subject is clearly understood. Thanking you for the opportunity of expressing my attitude to your As- sociation, I remain,
 Yours respectfully,
 ARTHUR A. BAILEY.

 Washington, Conn, Aug. 19, 1910. State Business Mems Association of
 Connecticut,
 Gentlemen:-I have received your letter of the 17th asking me to state my attitude in regard to the Business Mems Public Utilities Bill. a copy of which you enclose.
 Tn reply let me say, in the first place that II heartily favor the pro- posed legislation. Public service cor poratiops, which enjoy special privil- iges,l and are safeguarded against competition must be subject to state regulation. Such regulation, it seems to me, can best be had at the hands of a Public Service Commission.
 a It is no reflection on the character or ability of members of the leg1sla- ture that that body is not fitted to do this regulating directly. The ques- tions involved are administrative rath- CT than legislative. What IS needed is a commission of capable and res sponsible men, in session all the time, whose decisions, and the reasons for the same, shall be given after pub lie and impartial hearing. The Busi- ness Mems Bill, so far as l have been able to examine it, seems to furnish the required legislation. am in fa- vor of such a bill. The General As sembIy may, in it's wisdom. be able to improve it in some respects; but, in this connnection, it should be re- membered that this bill is the result of long and careful consideration by business men and lawyers, amply quail flied for such work. The foundation was laid by the admirable report of Governor Woodruff's commission composed of five leading citizens of the state. This report should, 1t seeems to me, have resulted in legis- lation by the 1909 General Assembly. As member of the House. earnest lyl supported. first the bill recom- mended by the Woodruff Commission, and afterwards the Chandler-W Whiton bill I hope that the present agita- ton will result in the establishment by the coming legislature of Public Service Commission. the duties and powers of which will offer OppOrtuni- ties for service which will appeal to the ambitions of the best qualified men in the state.

 JOHN c. BRINSMADE.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work nighr and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some parts Of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and

ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
Of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart. debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,

In his infancy he is an angel; in his
boyhood he is devil; in bis man.
hood he is everything from a lizard
up; in his duties he is fool.
If he raises family he is chump;
if he raises check he is a thief; and
tnen the law raises h-with him.
If he is a poor man, he is a poor
manager and has no sense. If he is
rich he is dishonest, but considered
smart. If he is in politics he is
CRATER and crook. If he is out of
politics, you can't place him, as he
IS an undesirable citizen. If he goes
to church he is hypocrite, if he
stays away from church he is sim
ner. If he donates to foreign mis-
sions he does it for show; if he
doesn't he is stingy and Tight
Wad." When he first comes into
the world everybody wants to kiss
him, before he goes out they all want
to kick him. Ifhe dies young, there
was great future before him. If
he lives to ripe old age, he is in
the way, only living to save funeral
expenses.
