THE REDUCTION OF THE TOWN
 DEBT

The reduction Of the town debt by the present Selectmen by $3S.4t6.3S the past year is very pleasing tO the cit izens. as well as is the fact that in two years the reduction totals SJs.213- a6. showing the republicans brought it down sZc.7s9.23 the closing year of their sdministratio
 There is no special merit in this. since it Is paid from The regular sink snE fund of about ss.000 d year. spe- cialiy levied upon the property to do this very business. Since the bonds drew 2 le per cent. and the fund in the bank drew 1 per cent. 1t was con sidered pretty good business for the town to keep the fund intact. and the fund increasing interest coming. hence the delay as long ss possible in paving of the debt. and the less money paid on 1t the more the town was being benefited.
 This sinking fund represents the tzx accumulation of l-2 mill a year; md the amount paid rhe past year represents nearly five years accumu- istion n-four of which were under re- publican administrations. and the se- lectuen would have been praised rath- CT than chidded had they still kept the money drawing 1 per cent. interest {. but the fund was large and the bank was not finding the transac ction profit - able. so they requested the selectmen 10 use the money for the reduction of he GeeJ
 Now. what has happened? The SSf.4ls.S3 or the taxpayers money that was in the bank at per cent. has been used To take up bonds drawing g 1-2 per cent. and the town Is no longer making it's one-half of one per cent upon the fund.
 IL Is all routine business done with regular tax funds in the regular way, and it is not surprising that the se- iectmen let the money draw interest m the bank until the fund became So large that the bank declined to have it made any larger under the present contract
 The real merit in a case like this lies in getting from the bank more interest than the bondholders were be- ing paid.

THE FIRST MID-AIR COLLISION.

The fact that Avistors Atwood and Ely were in the first aeroplsne mid alr collision at Canton. Ohio. Wednes- day, gives them d new distinction and calls attention to a new peril.
 Where there are many machines in The air this Is something which may happen al any time: and t Is sur prisins that several years have eIa psed before such an accident took Ilace, and it may be good omen that there were no fatalities as the result
 With six machines in t-he air at once, as al some exhibitions. all of them un- wieldy and difficult to handle in sud- den emergency without grave danger. the chances Of collision would seem to he greater than events have proved
 There is no proba Oility that g second accident of the kind would show such gratifying results; and from this it is likely the svistors will be more guard = ed iu their movements overhead. There Is space enough and it will pay them 10 run wide of one another.

dealing with live local issues. Per llaps the republicans and democrats ln
 Norwich agree with their leaders at the capital thai party platforms are silly and that pledges are not meant
 to be carried out. At any rate, if no
 pledges are made they cannot be brok-
 en. The socialists are apparently sin
 cere it adopting a platform not only
 to run on before election. but also to
 stand on after election as their local
 speakers are laying great stress on the
 various blanks.
 As a worker, it is to my interest to
 be continually employed in order to
 make both ends meet, at the prevail
 ing union wages, therefore l am in
 accord with the unemployed plank.
 Town work shoulI be done by the
 town directly, as labor conditions are
 much to be preferred.
 The town of Norwich can run its
 street cars and telephones as well as
 towns in England and reduce the car
 fares and exor5itant tslarE<ie fees,
 and I can endorse that plank.
 It seems to me that all the blanks
 dealing with educational questions are
 beneficial to the whole community, viz free schooi5ooks and supplies, dis
 trict consolidation, free medical III .
 spection, free meals to needy pupils and free public high school. It is plea asing to sec that The Bulletin strongly. favors some of these blanks
 Other towns and cities in Connecti- cut have consolidated their govern ments. and I believe Norwich should investigate it's possibilities. Ii appears to me that the other par ties ought to go on record and forrnu fate their platforms. 1 am sure thai the socialist party does not want te monopolize this innovation for which 1 it is responsible.
 The New London Day in its feature editorial of September 23 takes or- casion to highly compliment the New l London socialists for getting out 9
 municipal platform and asks the per- tinent question, What do the other 1 parties, as far as our local govern 1 1nent is concerned, stand for?' How about Norwich?
 To quote further: "The candidates record, private and public, counts fol much, but the man who, in addition l to good charac cter and integrity, has l sound and progressive ideas about To- l cal government which he makes 1 known, will be most likely to be se- 1 lected by the voters ard taxpayers oi l communities to administer nluniclpa 1 affairs.
 Unless something of this kind k ] soon done by the old parties coll l cludes The Day, they will awake some 1 have been swallowed by new force l in political ,ife.''
 l Which way will you vote, MT. Read 1 CT? For a party label or for party which publicly announces it's stand il l town matters in which you, as one O. the plain people. have tremendou! l interest? It is up to you.

DIR. WILEY ExoNERArEp.

President Taft has exonerated Dr. Wiley of the charge preferred against him. In doing so, he has given off, cial voice to the verdict already rem dered by the American press and peo- pie. If the attack against Dr. Wiley were mere personal fight, it could be allowed to rest; but it is a princi- pie. not d man. that is at stake. pr. Wiley's enemies are opposed to him because he represents d principle that of protection to the consumer says The Journal of the American Medical Association. They would be equally antasonistic to any other in dividual holding the same position and actuated by the same ideas. Of the venomous and harassing tactics of McCabe and the sycophantic attitude of Dunlap in the carefully laid plot to depose pr. Wiley, the president says nothing-at present. He does indeed hint that the demoralized condition of the department of agriculture will call for executive action If President Taft means that he will, at the earli- est convenient opportunity, sever the connection of McCabe and Dunlap with the government. he will find that he is merely expressing the opinion of the American people as to what should be done in this matter. Mean while, congratulat tions are due to the president on the wisdom of his decis- ion; to Dr. Wiley on being eXonerated from the malicious and unfounded charge and to the people of the Unit cd States, because they still have Dr. Wiley to stand between them and the food adulterators

September 22 l9ll. MT John Dobson, Norwich, Conn:
 Dear Sir-We are in receipt of your kind favor of recent date with question for the Every ybody's Bible Question Box, for which we thank you.
 Your question-"Wll you please ex plain, if the Bible is the word of God how He came to speak of Himself un der twenty -four different names? Dc the conception of God held by the diff ferent writers ?'-we answer as fol- lows:
 therefore invisible to mortal eyes it would be impossible for man to have any conception of the Deity unless de seriptive titles were assigned to Him Even the term God" signifies Mighty One. For this reason the many naIne es were given to the Creator that we might the better comprehend Him This same custom was adhered to ir referring to our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. But with our Lord, the different names were given in order to emphasize the importance of the work that He came into the world to accom- plish. He was called the sIanb o1 God that taketh away the sins of the world. In another place He is referred to as the Lion of the Tribe of Ju- dah,'' etc.
 Thanking you for your favor ant trusting that we may have the pleas ure of hearing from you again, we arc Very truly yours, EVERYBODY'S BIBLE QUESTION BOX.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
VAIN TASKS

Some ething has gone wrong with the cistern pump" remarked Mrs. Turn over T wish you would come and look at It.
 What good will looking at it dor inquired her husband, as he cut the leaves of a new book. There's noth iHg practical about you, my dear. When a woman of ordinary intelligence finds something wrong with the cistern pump she sends to the plumber or tin smith or whoever fixes pumps, and he comes out and hits it with a hammer three times and charges s5. But, in stead of doing anything sensible like that you come to your husband and ask him to look at it. l have read a good deal about the power of the human eye in subduing wild animals. but I never heard of it's fixing a pump. You come to me- not because the pump is out of order but simply because you know I have settled down to spend an hour or two reading a helpful book and the idea of leaving me in peace IS repugnant to you.
 "A plague on you and your helpful books!" cried Mrs. Turnover angrily Iii you will lay your book down long enough to look out of the window you will see Mir Morgenblatter mailing shingles on the roof of his back porch. I happened to be at their house when he came home. He said he was going fishing. and his wife told him he ought t. fix that roof the first thing, before it raIned again. You're right said he. I'm glad you reminded me of it. And he went and got his hammer and nails and set to work. I wish you were more like him"

Hew Shall l Vote?

Mir. Editor: Next Monday will be town election day, when every citizen should do his duty and register his political choice and convictions, if hs has any. ct the ballo- box. I have just Teen made voter in Norwich and have taken upon myself that sol enn obligation 10 cast my ballot W til- cut fear or favor in the way in wkici I think it will be for the best good of the comInsI nity.
 On the street one hears some rather interesting views in regard to voting. One man, native born, says he is not voter and will never be made be- cause the politicians are all smiles and anxious to please before election and after election they don't know VOL Another man is not going to vote this year becaCse there are men other doesn't see any use in voting unless the ticket voted for is likely 10 win. And so if goes.
 There arc four tickets in the field. It is impossible for .he average voter to know personally more than few of ths candidates and so it is desira- bic to know what these candidat es stand for. We know in q general way what these political parties stand for in national elections, but what are their platforms in municipal and tewr. elections? As wage worker with an average family with all the hores and fears of the average Worllingn.an, am anxious to see what is presented to the Norwich voters for their con- sideration in this town campaign. Anything which aims to benefit the workers as whole will improve my condition. Surely in every town and
 municipality there are definite issues to be discussed, live policies to be for u.ulated and certain principles of pro- cedure which are to Ee followed by the various sets of candidates. which should enlist the attention of the aver age voter.
 l am batf1ed at the outset. Tn the city election last June the republicans and democrats had no platforms, the oIibitiuEists used their national platform and the socialists were the anly party 70 have a real municipal platform, the first of the kind. it is said. ill the history of Norwich. In this town election the socialist party has been the only one to adopt and publish 3 town platform specifically

THE TOBACCO TRUSTS PROFITS

The smokers and tobacco users of every class make the business of the Tobacco trust profitable by their de- votion to the weed.
 Commissioner of Corporations Her bert Knox Smith has made a report of the finances of the American To- oacco company, showing average earnings of '19 per cent. In the smoking tobacco business, earnings of important subsidiaries were D per cent. in 1908. The common stock of the snuff company, said originally to be all water. paid ? per cent. in 1910.
 Even those opposed to government control of such combina tions will ad- wise the trusts to read handwriting on the wall that ought to be obvious even to milIionaires of the primer class.
 If they are wise, they will ponder deeply on the decision of the express companies voluntarily to reduce rates. These companies did not make that announcement from pure philan- thropy. or spirit of self-sacrificing altruIsm. l. looked good to them as 8 purely business policy in the long run. And there are others.
 We need higher moral standards in industrial service. Most of us grab all we can get, without examining the question whether we are rendering an equivalent service. It would be wiser for all to be more considerate of one another's interests and this would do more than any one thing to make our commercial and economic relations more satisfactory

Delayed Road Buildinu.

MT Editor: The Occum taxpayers ana voters are very much interested to know Nhy the road leading to Baltic from the village of Occum has not been built the rast year. instead of the one leading up the Scotland road, where there is so little travel. compared to the Occum road
 We know the selectmen will claim that it is up to the highway commis- sloner 10 designate where it shall be built which is true. but with two of the selectmen living on the Scotia nd road it is natural that they should favor that road instead of the Occum road which everyone knows should have been built first
