GOVERNOR BALDWIN.

Governor Baldwin will be inaug- urated at Hartford tomorrow with the porp and dignity due to the high sta ton co which he has been elected: and Governor Weeks win retire with a good record and deserving his need of praise
 Governor Baldwin will be the first democratic governor Connecticut has had for eighteen years, and his high asxsinan ents in the mw and his service a& chief justice of the state gives a prestfee to his assumption of the governorship which is exceptional and assuring to the people Though a con- fessed partisan. he is not blind. and his well grounded principles leave no doubt that he will be governed by d spsrit of justice which will always be cnInfed for the welfare of the state. He VIII notsbe expected to do anything radical. but will be very generally ex- peeted to So all things right. The Bulletin feels sure that he will not be a disappointment in the administration of the affairs of the office.
 Els views are likely to have a wider acceptance than he expects. and his character is the guaranty that he will never become weathercock to dem OcraIhc partisan whims.
 The Bulletin wishes the retiring and the incoming governor a Happy New Year. and it hopes that Governor Baldwin will experience little friction in his endeavor to guide the state along true lines for it's advancement and honor.

STATES GETTING TOGETHER.

In recognition of the principles of cooperation and the advantages of uniformity of action, thirty-four states will be represented at the eleventh annual meeting of the National Civic federation in New York next month. These delegations. without exception, have been carefully chosen and they will represent the most advanced thought of the commonwealths by which they have been selected. The principal object of the meeting will be 10 create sentiment in favor of uni- form legislation on important subjects. a movement which will commend it. self to all citizens who have any ac- quaintance with the complications which exist today in the separate state laws. Ten subjects. completely divorced from political bias. have been selected for special consideration They are: Regulation of Cohbina- tions and Trusts" Regulation of Pub lie Utilities" Taxation" Insurance and Banking" "Compensa tion for In dustrial Accidents" Reform in Legal Procedure,' Pure Food and Drugs" Uniformity in Good Roads Building and Automobile Regulations" and the commercial bills of the uniform state law commissioners.
 This is organized effort in the right direction. There is tendency on the part of legislators today to get closer to the people, to work more in har- mony with the popular will and to leg islate for the common good rather than for the special interests. They will be ready to listen to suggestions look ing to more uniformity of state laws and it is not unreasona ble to expect that another year or two will see ad- Vanced steps taken in this direction With better interstate understand ing great things may be accomplished along these lines

Charter Revision at Boston

, natures should be reduced the idea was that with such high number the number of candidates would be cut down. In other words, 1t was believed the 'undeSirableS would find it im- possible to obtain the names necessary. As the thing has worked out almost any aspirant for office seems to find little trouble in filling up his papers. If he is short a few names and isn't too high minded he just writes in a few himself from a voting list. This forgery of signatures has become mo- torious in the campaign now under way. Under the law each voter ma y sign as many nomination papers as there are offices to be filled. This year it happens there are three places to be filled in the city council.
 Several respectable citizens have signed three papers to have them filed later with the election commissioners, to find that the same number of papers were filed some time before for other candidates bearing the signatures of the same citizens. In other words the signature has been forged on three papers and these being filed first were accepted by the board and the real signatures failed to count. As the election commission predicted, in the
 short time allowed them for certifica- tions there is no chance to detect for
 geries and it comes down to a case of first come first served"
 The Boston charter has now been in force, in whole or in part for nearly two years. Last year a strenuous at tempt was made to have the legiSla- ture amend certain sections to which objection had been found. But the general court took the position that a fair trial should be given the .whOle instrument before any notifications were made. This year will see several changes.
 The abolition of party designations has pretty nearly abolished the repub- lican party in Boston. During the two years of Mayor Hubbard the organ ization was ignored by what the mayor l and his friends were pleased to call a mon partisan administration. Patron age was dispensed to personal friends of the mayor and the machine which l elected him got nothing. This weak ened the city committees influence and the charter finished the work. So that
 the democratic party has profited by the charter which was devised to make Boston non- partisan, or at least take the control of affairs away from the democratic machine. It has done neither because the politicians were too sharp for the reformers. That cit ies are governed more by men than by methods is once more proven.

mohEGAN LAKE WATER.

We hope that the intimation that the Nohegan lake pipe should be put under ground and the lake made an auxiliary to our regular water system did not enanate from the board of water commissioners.
 It would be proper for the park conn inissioners to object and right that the people should file a lengthy and loud protest--for the lake is d popular swimming resort and skating resort for he boys and should be devoted to park purposes. It belongs 10 the peop4e and there is no reason why it ehould be wrested from them.
 We have had antidoted MOhegan lake water which the intelligent part of the water takers have very properly deciued to use for table or potable purposes. and the quicker the chloride of-lmed supply is cut out and the lake is permanently returned to it's old usss tho better 1t will be for all con- cerned
 There is no probability that Norwich will ever again need Mohegan lake water. With a permanent pipe line running to Trading Cove brook as a reserve and the addition of another watershed by the citizens, Norwich is not ifkelyfto have a repetition of her experience in a hundred years.
 Norwich needs pure water in ample quantities and it is up 70 the citizens to select a site with care that the largest quantity of pure water may be obtained with the least possible claim for damages by manufacturers tho can establish their title, main- tain their rights and legally collect compensating damages, and at a cost which wil not cripple the prospects of the city for years to come.
 Norwich has had enough Mohegan lake water. and the sickening thought of it ought 10 be sufficient to make a suggestion of this kind too unpopular 10 be put forth with any seriousness.

LATE YOUNG POPULAR.

Senator Lafe Young of Iowa is pop ular at home. and he has no reason to care what the country at large thinks about his calling the rest of the senators boys for Iowa thinks he addressed them right.
 The Des Moines Plain Talk says:
 The farmers of Iowa are greatly pleased with Senator Youngs speech, and it will be read all over Iowa and hung up under the looking glass after the manner of the old-fashioned al , manac. The speech is a good one and has awakened general interest. What ever interests the farmers has a deep interest to every business man in the country
 The question in the west is whether protection shall be national or sec tioDaL and this is what the Dallas Codnty News has to say concerning it:
 A-rhe production of wool has become profitable. but New England woolen mills want free wool so as to lower the cost of their raw material and in crease their profits. They want free food products so as to decrease the cost of living Then with free wool they can increase their profits and with free trade with Canada in food products they can reduce the cost of living, thus gaining at both ends of the deal. The east got free hides and promised chea per shoes. Shoes are no cheaper. Given free wool and the western farmers will suffer serious loss and yet probably pay the same for their clothing. Senator Young pointed out this condition and then warned the east that when the west lost protection for it's agricultural products the east would lose protec tion for its manufactured goods. He proclaimed the doctrine that protec- .tion must be for all or for none that if one section must face free trade as to it's products, all sections must have free trade as to all products. It is a pretty sound doctrine. and it is up to western representatives to say wheth- CT or not they will yield the benefits of protection to western interests while granting protection to eastern interests. Shall protection be nation wide or sectional? This promises to become an important question"

Poe in Jpanese.

The emperor of Japan is the one poet sovereign living. says Adachi k1nnosuke in an article called The Everyday Mikado in Success Maga- zine. 1 believe there is no monarch upon throne in Europe or of the east who can even pretend to dispute the title with him. I know something of those distortions which are going the rounds of American newspapers and ma gaZines as English translations of the emperors poems Some things can be translated; even improved upon a little. Other things there are. though, which simply cannot be translated.
 Years ago some of us at school were called upon to translate Poe's Annabel Lee into Japanese. Of course we did it. We were even proud of our ef- forts. We were too young to know any better. Yo know the original: And this was the reason that, long
 ago,
 In this kingdom by the sea, A wind flew out of a cloud chilling
 My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her high-born kinsman came
 And bore her away from me To shut her up in a sepulchre
 In this kingdom by the sea-"
 We translated it into Japanese some, thing after the following fashion: TOT the reason stated, Tn the old days, Tn this kings country, bordering the
 sea,
 A wind flew from a cloud giving a bad
 cold to
 My beautiful Annabel Lee. For that reason, her aristocratic male
 relative came
 And took her away from me In order that he may shut her up in a
 grave
 In this kings country bordering the sea.
 And l really think that the above is an infinitely more graceful and just rendering of Poes fine lines than are almost any of the English translati tions of Mutsuhitos poems
 Japans is an old civilization. In many things she is particular, f1nicky. And in nothing more so than in her literary art. The people of Japan ask their poets to give them either beau tiful picture, profound thought, a touching sentiment, an epitaph to q buried passion, an echo of childhood or a peep into heaven-all within the compass of 31 syllables- Yet this dis eliminating people ranks its emperor among the first poets of his time.

This Portland girls experience is not au exceptional case. It would apply as well to Norwich, and while The Bulletin knows of no such case it has mo doubt there may have been several in the shopping season. The leading stores of Norwich are as fine as any that are to be found in cities much larger. they carry the newest lines of goods at the most satisfactory prices. It is a class fad rather than a neces- sity to shop out of town. There are economical reasons why shopping at home is more satisfactory. It takes less time to shop at home, it takes less money, it has back of it a better guaranty. The home dealer has to make little defects right-has to ex- change goods to maintain his charac- ter for fairness, which outside dealers would not. Trading at home is fine business habit and it booms the home town.

The Miniature
BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS


Celeste Wheeler bought a morning
paper and turned eagerly to the per-
sonal column. A little laugh escaped
her as her eyes alighted on the ad she
had inserted. She read II over still
wearing her irresponsible smile.
"A young lady will paint a miniature
In return for few weeks hospitality
In the country. Long Island pre-
ferred. References"
There! The die is cast! II / had
any family 10 Judge me insane they
might have good cause. Still-it is a
very sensible way to get a much need
ed bit OF the country when funds hap
pen to be at low tide and energies
depleted"
Celeste looked wistfully down at her
rather shabby shoes and the dust col
ored velvet of her gown. Luckily for
both they were of a shade which Meth
er showed their poverty nor their lack
of care. They were artistic in their
very shabbiness as was the soft gray
hat with its woefully dropping plume.
Not so with Celeste's eyes. These
great, wonderful eyes assumed all the
brightness and depths and happiness
of two new born stars. Only occa-
sionally were these eyes permitted to
reflect all the inward longing for the
man whose love had been ruthlessly
cast aside. Celeste had been very
young when she had told Hugh Ardale
that art must take the place of love.
Well, fame was gradually creeping i'm
to fulfil its mission and Celeste Wheel
er smiled through all.
She reached her studio xnd In the
hope that answers would soon come
from her advertisement. Celeste gave
her wonderful artistic treasures a more
or less cursory tidying. Also she put
a few much needed stitches in the
fragments of a wardrobe which she
possessed.
When these duties. enormous to the
artistic temperament. were over, Ce-
leste went 10 her little tin box and
looked over her wealth. She had ex-
actly ninety-nine dollars. Her studio
was paid for for another twelve months
and Celeste had orders for nine minia-
lures, waiting her leisure. She would
not touch one of these until she had
returned from a much needed rest.

ties.
Now that the die was cast and Ce-
ieste ready TO journey forth she waited
impatienuy for such an offer as she
could accept
Three days later Celeste boarded a
train for Glen Head. tiny village on
the Sound. She had received a simply
worded but winning letter from an
elderly couple who were apparently
alone in their big estate on the waters
edge. The coachman would meet her
at the station in a governess's cart.
With eyes sparkling and cheeks
aglow Celeste alighted at the Glen
Head station She was the only pass
enger getting OF and this fact pre-
vented any mistake on the part of the
coachman In the small cart Celeste
had wondered why an elderly couple
should elect TO travel about the coun-
try roads In this particular style of
vehicle. Now she knew. A small child
was evidently part Of the household
to which Celeste was being driven.
i Celeste experienced a peculiar thrill
when she looked closely into the
baby's face. Her greenish gray eyes
with their dauntless expression were
much like Hugh Ardale's.
After a series of questions which the
small beauty asked OF Celeste and
which were duly and evidently salts
