LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Particular About Buckwheat Straw.

MT. Editor: The people of Lefiing- well have had much amusement lately concerning some of the water men. Several weeks ago MT. Newlands with Dr. Lewis and two other men con- nected with the business were through the place in interest of the Trading Cove brook water. They stopped at the residence of c. Leland Palmer, and MT. Lewis was inquiring about one thing and another. They hap pened to be standing near the front of the barn, and MT. Newlands point ed to a heap of substance which he Ga city man) thought was manure, but was nothing but small heap of buck wheat straw, and asked MT. Palmer how often he moved his manure and Mr Palmer told him once and some times twice a year. The manure from the barn is put back of the barn and could not be seen from front of the barn where the men stood.
 This mistake of MT. New1ands' has amused the people of Leff1ngweu in tensely. It was also published in The Bulletin that MT. Palmer's manure heap was situated 200 feet from the brook, but could be made all right by covering 1t in a rain, when it is only buckwheat straw.
 Since the investigation of the wa tershed of the Trading Cove brook, the people of LeffingweI1 have had no end of amusement as they have learn ed the extreme difficulty found in as- pertaining the difference between a heap of manure and a heap of buck wheat straw. P. R. M-

Baldwin a Winner.

The trade that Governor Baldwin has effected by which he secures the rati- fication of the senate for Burton Mansfield as insurance commissioner shows that he is an able manipulator. This man, who was supposed to be a theorist, not capable of dealing with shrewd leaders, has developed sudden ly into enc of tha most astute politi- clans of the state.
 He fathoms mems motives with a precedence that is remarkable and thus knowing what they wish of him be- fore he commits himself, he is in a position to dictate. Democratic bosses who thought he would be easily influ- eneed, as well as republicans who be- 1ieved they could successfully oppose him, have practically agreed that he has the whip hand and that his norni- nations and proposals cannot be suc- cessfully cornbatted without political reaction upon themselves that may be disastrous.
 The governor declares that he is a democrat and that in so far as pos sible his appointments will be demo- crats and from that position the sena- tors have been unable to budge him. He prevents opposition to Mansfield by giving certain leaders Hale as rail- road commissioner, although this same Hale is looked upon by wise repubIi- oaHs as more of a. democrat than a republican.
 MT. Baldwin has demonstrated his sagacity and to the lockers on 1t would appear that he is going to have things pretty mach hjs ewn way.-Meriden Jo1rpaJ

NEW LoNpoN's DEEP HARsoR.

NEW LoNDoN's DEEP HARBoR.
 Norwich shares in the feeling that New London's harbor should be made the most of bx the state and by the government.
 Tho idea of Mayor Mahan that the state should take fpancial interest in making the most 0f 1t, is the sane opinion of 2 foresighted and practical man.
 The development of New London harbor as terminal for the great foreign liners means much to the en- tire state and mora to eastern Con necticut.
 The Hartford Times says: "The New London delegation declared to the New York steamboat managers that within . year the great ocean carriers could be steaming into that city, and if the companies wished to avail themselves of the advantages which their city afforded, now was the time to say so. The steamship repre- sentatives were informed that within twelve months the facilities for hand ling the biggest of the vessels could be provided, and it was mentioned just by way of emphasizing the confidence that the New Londoners felt in mak- | New Haven 6 Hartford railroad Co, the Grand Trunk and the Central Vermont stood ready to back the en- terprise.
 "The New Londoners told tAs steam ship people that terminal facilities for the so0-foot vessel would be guaran- teed. The agents listened with appar- ent conviction to the offer of our sis- ter city, which has made out splen- did case for itself. The importance to the Sound city of the arrangement cannot be over-estimated. New Lon don has long been an important port It is conveniently situated and offers many natural advantages. The big railroad over which MT. Mellen exer- cises so careful management would be directly benefited in large measure by the landing of the vessels of the trans atlantic lines. and with his backing there ought to be little doubt of the outcome. It is only natural, however that the companies should wish to re-
 main In or nearer New York, if possi- ble. But the definite assurance that New London can take care of the ves- sells within a year, doubtless, will prove big factor in the final deter imitation"
 The spirit of New London in 1911 seems to be to make the most of all her advantages, and it must be con- ceded that she has many, and that her people are cherishing a get-togeth- CT and stay together spirit which tells for progress. Those who think New London is dreaming may be surprised to find she is working with a likelihood of winning.

BALLlNGER RETIREs IN GOOD
 FORM.


 Even the enemies of Secretary Ball. finger must admit that he retired from Tafts cabinet in good form, since he carried with him high evidences of regard and high commendation for his services to his country from the President.
 The Bulletin has regarded Secretary Ballinger as a scandal upon the ad- ministration and it believes that it is well for the party interests that he saw the light and needed it. We have no doubt he has been painted blacker than he is.
 The New York Tribune. in com mentiug upon Secretary Ballinger,s retiring. says:
 The new secretary will carry cut the same policies that MT. Ballinger carried out. for the administration conservation programme is just what it has always been. If Mir Fisher receives the commendation of MT. Bal fingers critics for doing in office ex- aot1y what MT. Ballinger did. the wholo Ballinger conspiracy will be completely exposed as one of personal persecution"
 It appears to The Bulletin that MT Fisher may carry out the governmen- tai policies 70 different from MT. Bal finger that he will not excite suspi- cion or anmosity. A difference in men and methods of enforcing policies often makes all the difference in the world We do not see how MT. Fish, CTS ability to make the rolicies seem less suspicious or offensive can be a vindacation of Secretary Ballinger, for 1t will certainly mark the superiority of Fisher over Ballinger and make clearer his predecessors unfitness.

Secretary Fisher.

The gentleman who by President Taft's appointment succeeded Clifford Pinchot as chief forester was one of Clifford Pinchots closest friends. The gentleman who by President Taft's appointment now succeeds MT. Bal finger as secretary of the interior Waiter Fisher of Chicago-is another of Clifford Pinchot's closest friends. Anyone who knows aught of Chicago and its hard fight for relief from trac- ton tyrannies and other miserable conditions" said the Boston Transcript last evening, Knows of Walter Fisher. His record is one of the finest and cleanest in the history of American municipalities. Not only has he been honest and straight but he has shown extraordinary intellectual capacity. He is one of the powerful, earnest and en- frightened leaders of America. There will be no more scandals involving the head of the interior department" Gif- ford iPinchot himself has quite recent Iy borne public testimony to the in te1Figence and vigilance with which President Taft stands guaxd over the natural resources-the peoples patri- mony.

GOV. eALDWiN's cAUTIoNARy
 WORDS.

The people approve of the caution ary words of Governor Baldwin with reference to legislative appropriations.
 It is to the credit of no administra- ton to make deficits, although it must bo conceded that circumstances or emergencies, now and then, in state and national affairs, make them teler- able.
 The oomptroller's figures show that we have made deficits enough and that the time has como to call a halt. Those who aver that a debt is a bless ing arc usually men who are not in q financial condition to realize the bur den of it.
 The temptation to expend state moneys to win political favor is great and 1t is yielded to excessively teo oftsn by both parties. There are many worthy objects which call for action which can wait. The thing te be care fully considered is the appropriations which from their nature foreshadew permanent increases of tho annual ex- penses. These are what result in tax burdens and undermine political par ties.
 Governor Baidwin's conservatism along these lines is commendabls and should be needed.

HE NATIONAL ENcAMPMEN7

The vetsrans of the civil war living in the east are contemplating with considerable satisfaction the fact that the national sncampment is to be held this year at . moro accessible and in- viting point for them.
 Rochester, N. Y., is making careful preparations for the meeting of the civil war veterans there during the week of 21st to 26th of August, and the city expects to take care of 15o.000 visitors. The city has a dozen big halis and places where the guests can be housed and the housing accommo- dations are so extensive that it is expected not a tent will be required.
 Rochester has splendid schools, one or two f1ne colleges, and it is . rail- road center with half g dozen trunk lines centering there and trolley lines galore. with . prosperous trolley line 70 miles long coming to 1t all the way from Auburn and the large city of Syracuse; and q mammoth car ferry in operation between that city and Canada, which is connected with the Grand Trunk system and the Cana dian railroads to the north.
 IL looks as if this years national encampment at Rochester would be made memorable by v1rtue of the large attendance and the liberal way in which tho old soldiers are to be en- tertained.

OFF FOR THE TEXAN BORDER.

The sudden movement of the navy and army to the easterly borders of Mexico Is an indication that the rebel lion in the country of Diaz is more serious than was apprehended.
 The object of the government is. doubtless, to keep the Mexican insur- gents frork uzing any part of the ter ritory of the United States to pass through or to camp upon. It means a heavy policing of the Texan border and the protection of American ranch CTS from the raids which are likely to result from conditions of war so near.
 There doesn't appear to be anything in the movement but wise precautfon, since 1t is better to prevent incursions upon American territory than 1t is to leave Americans living along the line defenceleas.
 It is very natural for insurgents to seek refuge from the regular army on this side of the line; and the tempta- ton is intense for regular forces to pursue them.
 The action of the government is in no way . menace to Mexican interests and it is difficult to see why it should be regarded as medd1esomeness or in any way an interference in the affairs of eur neishbors.
