TWO OF The IMPORTED
JACK RABBITS ARE SHOT

a few days ago the Austrian Rod
and Gun club took into Keweenaw
county twenty pairs OF imported jack
rabbits, and released them. Yesterday
a conductor Of the Kewecnaw Central
railroad saw two of these large raIb-
bits weighing 1914 pounds and IL
pounds, respectively, i'm the hands of
a hunter. The rabbits had been shot.
II is common knowledge that the
imported rabbits were brought here
fer the purpose of prcpagating that
special species. If they are going to
be killed off I'm this manner. then the
members of tn Austrian Rod and Gun
club might as well refrain from going
TO any further expense in bringing
rabbits here.
1t is argued that the officers of the
Austrian Rod and Gun CLUB should
put the matter before the local. rep
resentative at Lansing, with a view
to enacting a special act making it
unlawful 10 kill jack rabbits in the
copper country for a certain period
of time.
II is reported that the jack rabbits
cost the local club 81 each.

COUNTIES BE COUNT
ED AGAIN.

feated at the primary election this
week. for the nomination for circuit
court Judge on the Republican ticket
for the counties of Houghton, Kewee-
nav and Baraga, stated this morning
that he win demand a recount.
Mr. Larson i'm giving his reasons

been brought to his attention, and on
the advice and pressure of many
friends, decided on recount. The re-
suit of this will be awaited with much
interest throughout the three counties.
The procedure that Mr.. Larson's at
torneys will take in demanding the re-
count, will be to file petitions with the
board of canvassers in each of the
counties involved previous to the
meeting of each board TO pass on the
recent election. With the filing of the
petitions, the boards of canvassers will
open all of the boxes containing the
ballots. and proceed to count them
over again. The petitions demanding
a recount in the three counties will be
filed early next week, and the recount
will take place within few days of
the filing of the petitions.
1t will be remembered that the re-
cent primary campaign for the nomin-
alton of circuit court judge to succeed
Judge Albert II. Streeter, was keenly
fought out, there being five candidates
in the field on the Republican ticket.
The successful candidate was William
]. Macdonald, at present prosecuting
attorney of Houghton county, who won
out over Attorney o. ]. Larson by the
narrow margin of thirty-fve votes.

 state is assured of money for devel-
 oping it's good roads policy, and it is

 Ii is a long time since there has been greater humbug exploited than in the discussion of the Macdonald amend ment. With all respect to the eminent head of the state, We cannot but in- ,, clude the veto message in the list The Unconstitutional elements of the amendment were practically the same
 as what the governor himself had in corporated in the utilities bill and had formally approved. The undesirable dragging of the judiciary was also provided for in the utilities bill and had his approval of record.
 Commissioner Macdonald is recog- nized as one of the ablest road build CTS in the country, and has been for six years president of the national as sociation. He's onto his job as they say He began good roads work for the state by laying out fourteen ar terial highways. These have not been built in a day. Even Rome wasn't put up as fast as that He has developed these gradually, and not all for auto mobile drivers, but to facilitate travel within Connecticut.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Otis Library Appropriation.

Mir. Editor; In your leading editorials of yesterday and today you say, in part:
 Tt is nothing new for the taxpayers of Norwich to recommend a tax which is lower than they expect the voters to approve of It has long been a fashion a fashion open to criticism"
 The Bulletin has for several years called attention to the fact that the Otis Library association. which makes that institution an auxiliary to the schools of the town, should be consid- eredsa regular expense and be includ- ed in the regular estimates of ex- pen6es, Sc.
 In view of the generally understood fact that any item in the regular esu- mates is as open to criticism and re- jection at the town meeting as are any of the extra items, your views, as above expressed, commend themselves to many of your fellow citizens.
 The trustees of the library have nev- CT until this year, so far as I know, made request for this change from the list of casual estimates to that of the regular ones.
 It seemed to them that, after eighteen years on the casual list-a list always at , disadvantage. because of the pub lie notice to the effect that if any of the casual items are added the tax must be greater than that proposed by the selectmen-the Otis library item IflIS1t De IdIGlN TGSdTOou dS q reg uldE item, as it has every time received the practically unanimous endorsement of the electors at town meetings.
 The selectmen seem to think other wise, as your editorial of this morning would indicate.
 I quote therefrom: "The seleetmen present a good technical reason for not regularly placing the Otis library and the Academy tuition appropriations in the regular list of estimates. The law clearly states what shall be included '' &c.
 You will put the trustees of the i- brary under obligation by quoting those sections of the law which exclude from the regular list estimates for the maintenance of a free public library.
 They do not deem this a matter which will seriNnsly affect the vote on the appropriation for the Otis library at any future town meeting, but if placed on the regular list of estimates it would relieve the trustees of an irlz- some annual duty, and the se1ectmer from the recommendation of "a tax

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

A quaint little booklet, carrying be- tween it's exquisite covers a qua inter little story, is to form the accompani- ment of golden rosary which will be presented to Cardinal Gibbons on the occasion of his jubilee, next month by the Knights of Columbus, through a committee of five prominent officers of the order. Attorney John H. Reddin, author of the book, being a member of that committee.
 The title of the tiny volume is The Romance of Rosary" and it relates the history of the precious beads which nave but one counterpart in the world, and those the property of the present pope Plus x. Fifty nuggets comnose the string and the value is placed at s1000.
 The story is as follows: In a convent on the outskirts of the fishing village of St. Johns, Newfoundland. within sight of the narrows which gave John Cabot his first glimpse of the new land,' a fraiI little nun called Sister Clare prayed for the fulfillment of an ambition-an ambition that there might some day grace the shores of the rocky inlet splendid home for the daughters of the simple fisher folk. where they might be educated and fit ted for their encounter with the world outside.
 A young Newfoundland tolin~ for gold in the Klondike struck it rich. Remembering the days when his clothes were rags and he could buy no Letter, and the kindnesses done him then by Sister Clare, the youth sent the nun a remembrance of gratitude a rosary made of fifty rough nuggets of gold.
 Attorney Reddin of Denver, with his wife and little daughter, visited Newfoundland last spring and at the convent Sister Clare showed them the onderful rosary and told of her long deferred hope. Reddin offered to dis pose of the beads for her. and she said thai would be ample compensa-

many obstacles, his powers have been
 limited, and he has been held up in
 various places Now he starts in with
 greater powers than ever before and
 abundant funds. Those who object to
 his increase of power should remem-
 Der that it carries along with it great CT responsibility.
 All this is considering the case sim
 ply from the viewpoint of state policy
 and official competency. But there's
 another phase, and that is the political
 aspect The office of highway commis-
 sioner disburses millions annually, and
 the commissioner has many appoint ments. It might become a great nolit- ical machine, even in the hands of man who handled the money honestly.
 Here was this prize; and the demo- cratic managers, hungry for more power and bit upset by what they
 have stumbled into by accident, want ed it; they wanted it the worst way. If they had secured it, they might by that very agency have captured the state next fall.
 Granted that Macdonald is compe tent, which is disputed only in few
 sections where local fights have brok- en up Improvements, and granted that
 he is honest. which hasn't been dis puted anywhere so far as we have seen there were just two elements that wanted him turned out-tha democratic managers who coveted his l large opportunities, ana cef tam HieIa- i bers of his own party who had been unable to make use of those opportuni- 1 ties That's the situation in 8. nut she'll He's got there and the Courant is mighty glad of it-giad on his account, glad for the sake of the
