THE MIXERS.

We moved In last Novcmoss
And distinctly I remember
Twas the steam heat that she wants,
And she said:
She was crazy In addition
For a dining In mission
And the den was amply perfect.
Being red.
Now shes weary OF the mission
pining-room. It's her ambition
To serve ham and eggs In one with
Paneied walls:
And she wants q bedroom pink.
And n wider kitchen sink
And some blue and yellow papes
In the halla
Every autumn. every spring.
Just like birds. we're on tho wilma
For a change In decorations
We go hiking:
And I'll gamble when she dies
That her mansion I'm the skies
won't be finished just exactly
To her liking.

A Benevolent Money Despot.

When two or three banks were in trouble in New York 8 few days ago, J. Pierpont Morgan came to their res- cue, supplied them with money t., meet immediate demands and helped them to restore confidence among their depositors. Thereupon, 8 number of newspapers acclaimed MT. Morgan as 8 public benefactor and the finan- cal protector of the country, saying that everything is lovely and the goose hangs high so long as the honest, the sane, the broad-gauged and ever-lib- eral MT. Morgan is enthroned in royal and absolute state in the financial house of American money changers.
 All of which may be admitted for the arguments sake and may be true to boot--and yet leave unanswered a grave question. How long will Mor
 gan last? Who will one day reign in his stead? What is our guaranty that the despot of American finance will always be benevolent? Have we no. had in these United States imperial bankers and railroad owners who were not wholly good and may we not have them again? Or if the despotism, in the money market, good or bad, is to be admitted as fact, why not invite, encourage and erect it in politics? Can this country remain a free republic when the purse strings are in one mortaps hands and subject to single mortal will?-Columbia (S. @ State.

AS TO COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

After presenting to it's readers a review of the different forms of new charters petitioned for in this state, the Meriden Journal says: .'The owners of the business corpor- ations choose men for results and demand them. Here is the corporation of Meriden, business concern we all own together, where the business we do is assured. We do not have to go out and drum up business--it is a fixed matter, and the true thing to do
 IS to conduct it with the least possi- ble cost consistent with the health, happiness and well being of the whole community. That means intrusting 1t to men of proven ability whom we can hold responsible for the best obtain able results or else discharge them, not at the end of a long term, but whenever they show they are not at- tending strictly to our business. will the plan of commission form of government help to that end ?'
 It is well to remember that water will rise only to the level of it's source, and
 it is also true that no government will
 be in any way superior to the men who are chosen to administer it. It takes live men to make 8 live govern lltllt. dAu cDlc OlltCleilS anu ItOHCSI IO conduct public affairs capably and justly. The recall feature is q, delu- sion and snare. for it is harder to get 10 per cent. of the voters sigma lures ill a place where the voters are indifferent to government than it is to get 25 per cent. of the names where there is esponsive interest in all pub lie matters.
 In Norwich it took the prohibitions ists nearly three months to get 10 per cent. of the voters whose names were on the registration lists under the new law in order to raise the issue wheth CT the town would continue the license system. It is not much of menace to recreant public officials to have requirement. for their recall, which must cost someone a considerable out lay of money and lots of time to ac- complish it.
 The dangers of a low percentage are no worse than the failure which is likely to result from too high per- centage to be able to make a recall provision effective. The happy mean is what it is up to every community to strike, and it is quite a problem to determine how this can be done.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Making Sacrifices.

.AIr Editor: Mayor Thayer said at the meeting on the Jordan brook pro- ject he thought the people in city meet ing overlooked the important fact that they selected men to have charge of just this portion of the city business. and it seemed as though, after inves- tigating and reporting upon the project, the people should give them the money whereby the project could be carried out He thought the minority ought not attempt to run a city.
 How about himself as mayor and two democratic members running things eight years ago, when by the help of Dr. Cassidy they put Norwich on the bum for water? Did he or his cohorts have any regard for the men selected by the people to carry on the busi- ness of the city? It is the opinion of a great many citizens of today that the caliber of the men who were selected 70 carry on the business of the city eight years ago is a close second to the executive committee of today.
 The Rev. MT. Worcester says 1t seems as though there ought to be some way by mutual sacrifices whereby one proposition can be settled on. It would seem as though every sacrifice possible was being made towards 'PeaSe brook or nothing. It don't seem reasonable to me to go ten miles WitI a twenty linen pipe LO get one anu one-quarter miles of watershed when you own a water supply of two, and three quarter miles only five miles from Washington square and one and one-half miles from Trading cove brook pipe line. Scientifically I don't know much about the water question, but the advice of such men as Allen of Worcester, Blake of Boston and Richards of New London is good enough for me, for it has been proven trustworthy in every particular.
 If it costs $296,000 to go ten miles to Jordan brook for S00,0 gallons of water a day, how much will it cost to go eight miles to Gardner lake for 100000 gallons a day? Don't all an- sWer at once!
 A TAXPAYER who has sacrificed all his surplus ash for water at ten cents q gallon, and the end is not yet but don't want to sac rifice any money on a freshet supply. Give us something that runs the year around.

STONY BROOK.

The Bulletin had no intention of commenting upon the report of the water commissioners, feeling that the citizens were capable of determining Just what they preferred in the way ot an additional water supply upon the facts stated.
 in glancing over the commissioners report we were surprised to find this declaration in the eighth paragraph: A former board of water commis- soners had adopted Stony brook as an additional source of supply, and their action had been disapproved by a largely attended city meeting"
 This is a mistake which needs cor- recting.
 The water commissioners did accept Stony brook as an additional source Of water supply in the 90's.
 So did the court of common council of the city of Norwich.
 So did the citizens in public meet ing assembled

Peculiar Situation on Mohegan Island.

MT. Editor; It seems that the inhab- itants of Mohegan Island in the Show tuck ocean live almost entirely on vegetables that are perishable. As | consequence they must raise q suffi- cient supply every year, or else be put on short rations. As larger crops arc obtained ill wet seasons than in dry ones, they have a surplus to waste some years. The island is heavily wooded, except in the village where the people live, and one large field in which everything the people have to eat is raised. The population of the island has been increasing. Of course, more people need more potatoes, s9 they have had to enlarge the field sew eral times, but the enlargement has not kept pace with the growth of the village. As a consequence the rations had to be cut down nearly one-h half.
 Now comes the strange part of the story Almost everyone agrees that more land ought to be broken up and more potatoes planted but they can not agree as to which direction the en- largenent of the field should take.

AN UNSOLICITED COMPLEMENT.

It is not strange that Highway Com missioner Macdonald is receiving un- solicited commendation from high and able sources. A commissioner who is known for his accomplishments on two continents, and who has been list ened to by the good road makers of 22 states, with sixteen years of service to his credit and no leakages pointed out by his worst enemies, is worthy of the praise of A. B. Alderson, member oe the American Society of Engineers, who gays of him and his work:
 T wish to endorse Commissioner Mcdonald for several reasons, viz: Strst. no man in the state of Connecti- cut is better qualified by training, ex- pcrience, travel and observation to carry on the work of the department: second. that during the whole term tsixteen years) of his official career in the handling of several millions of dollars no suggestion has ever been offered impugniug his integrity or questioning hls honesty; third it is through his effort and close appiica4 ton tht ths movement for higlway V improvements occupies the position it does today in the confidence of the people of our state, and finally for the conservative and economical system he has inaugurated, both in construc- ton and administration which has re- suited in the saving of hundreds of thousands Of dollars to the state"

 that we took our lives in our hands
 every time we went riding in that

 He said that a chain is no stronger than it's weakest link, and a buggy might be, sound and serviceable in every other respect, but if it had a cracked spoke it was simply a man trap. I don't doubt that he was right in fact I am sure he was right, for the very next time we went buggy rid ing that wheel collapsed, and my Aun; Harriet, who was visiting us at the time, landed on her head at the side ot the road, where there was a. great deal of stagnant water, and she really was l a sight to be seen, and l can scarcely | blame her for feeling offended, and in-
