DOESN'T FAVOR INCREASE OF
 POWER

Governor Baldwin does not think the power of the chief executive of the state should be increased. He said re- gently:
 Tn my opinion the executive and legislative departments should in gen. eral be kept distinct. It is very easy for governor to cause the intPoduc- tion of bills in the legisla ture, the en- actment of which he thinks desirable, and to enlist in their favor the efforts of those who share his views It is also his constitutional function to pro- pose measures to the legislature from time to time. I think this gives him all the influence he needs, and that it would be unwise to confer upon him independent authority to present bills in form to carry such measures into effect; nor should I favor giving our governors powers, in case the legisla : tiire fails to pass such measures as they may recommend, to present bills embodying such mea sures to the peo- pie a an election, for the expression of their will in the nature of refer endum."
 This opinion will be approved by the intelligent voters of the state There is no reason why the governor should be empowered to take the enactment of law into his own hands

RiSkiNG HER SOUL.

There is something amusing to Am orleans in the warning of Rudyard Kipling to the people of Canada against the endorsement of the treaty of reci- procity. In addressing them through the columns of the Montreal Star MT. Kipling said:
 Tt is her own soul that Canada risks today. Once that soul is pawned for any considera tion, Canada must inevitably conform to the commercial, legal, financial, social and ethical standards which will be imposed upon her by the sheer admitted weight of the United States. She might, for example, be compelled later on to ad- init reciprocity in the murder rate of the United States. which at present, I believe, is something over 150 a mill lion per annum."
 Our annual murder record is some thing fierce, but there is nothing in it to indicate that we should murder Canada. or let our murderers loose upon her people. When it comes to abbing We have to confess John Bull has champions reputation for hav- ing taken strip of this old earth en- circling the globe upon which the sun never sets, and under such crcum- stances it is not strange any English man is suspicious that Uncle Sam may take after his forbears. The Bulletin assures MT. Kipling that Uncle Sam has no idea of having Canada for a Christmas present this year.

THE HIGH PRICE OF SUGAR.

The housewives in all parts of the country notice that the canning sea- son makes the size of the sugar bag shrink. and when it comes in on to the family scales 1t goes and. it is noted that there are two pounds less n the bag than there used to be few months ago.
 Sugar always goes up in the canning season because this is the sellers op- portunity to get better profits, but this is not the cause this year. for the handlers declare there is a short crop.
 A big Chicago dealer says it is inn possible to tell how high sugar is go- ing this winter, for the high price of sugar Is due to the shortage in the crop this year. The Cuban crop is Soo.ooo tons below what it was last year. when the production was the highest on record for that country. A lightes crop was to be expected there this year. That circumstance would not have mattered greatly had it not occurred simultaneously with the Flu ropesn drought. Europe's beet sguar crop is nearly 2000,0O0 tons below what was expected. That then be- comes the real reason for this coun- try's shortage. It Is hard to predict just how hish the price may advance
 lt is stated that before the canning season is over the price may reach sight cents . pound.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
MUCH TOO MUCH

i patrician cows are fed on glue and leather findings. The last roll you sent out was so strong that I had 70 put a weight on it to hold it down. 'Is there anything else, MT. Qulg- way ?''
 Yes, a whole lot The other day my wife phoned down for a can of pumpkins, as she wanted to 1nake some pies-and she made them. It would serve you right if you had to eat one of them. The plumber who sealed UP that can must have been under the ln- 1uence of benzine, for he left about q pound of lead in it. Every time you take bite out of one of those ries your teeth come together on a chunk of lead, and after I had wrestled with a slice I felt likeE shot tower What do you mean by such treatment? The other evening I dropped in on my way home and bought bottle of your catchup, which you recommended as the best thing on the market. After had gone a block or two I met Mrs. Teagarden, and stopped to chat with her. She had a new white dress on, and she looked like stray angel, and
 she knew it. We'll. what did that catch

If you must soak your potatoes, try sulphuric acid or something else that has pleasant flavor. But if you are determined to use coal oil on your potatoes, you should at least furnish your customers with wiclSs, so they can use them as lamps.
 Well, MT. Quigway, I'll investigate the matter, and if I can find who was responsible for those tainted potatoes it will go hard with him.
 Lots of good your investigation will do me. want you to send out to my house and take those potatoes away, and give me credit for them on your books, or I'll stand your old store on end and kick the windows out of it. You can't spring any senatorial white wash scheme on me. And while your man is there he'd better take away whats left of the roll of butter you sent out yesterday. My wife has been in bed with sick headache ever since she got a whiff of that butter.
 When I began getting butter of you told you never to send out any that wasn't strictly gilt edged. You as sured me you had the finest butter trade in town. You got your supply from several farmers of the highest moral character.

ROOSEVELT UPON ARBITRATION.

Theodore Roosevelt is not so much opposed to arbitration as his enemies would make him out. He takes ex- captions in The Outlook to the diplo- matic wording of the treaty, which he does not regard as being clear and straightforward, and he recognizNs questions of honor which cannot be arbitrated. Perhaps his severe criti- cisn of the treaty is the very best thing which could have happened, for | it may lead to a more carefully made agreement in the end.
 He doesn't appear as an enemy of Taft, but rather as a friend' Of his country. He says:
 "The proposed arbitration treaty is defective, in the first place, because it $ not straightforward. It sets forth that all justiciable' matters shall be arbitrated The language both of the opponents and the defenders of the treaty shows that even among our own people, and before cause for apply ing the treaty has arisen, there is hopeless confusion as to what 'justicia- ble means. Such being the case, 1t can be ina gined how useless would be the effort to define 'justiciable' when a serious conflict had actually arisen and blood was up and passion high.
 The wording of the treaty is so loose it so lacks explicitness, as to allow one set of it's advocates to an- nounce that it binds us to arbitrate everything, and another set to say that under it we would not have to
 arbitrate anything we did not wish to.
 Now, no moral movement is per-
 manently helped by hypocrisy. Does
 the proposal in the treaties, if entered
 into with various nations, bind us to arbitrate the Monroe doctrine, the
 Platt amendment with Cuba, the pay
 ment of state bonds to European
 bondholders, the question whether va
 rious European countries are entitled
 to the same concessions that Canada
 is to receive under the reciprocity
 agreem the right of other foreign
 nations to interfere in Panama, our
 own right to exclude any immigrants
 whom we choose to exclude?
 Most men of knowledge, who are
 willing to think, know perfectly well
 that this country would not, as a mat
 ter of fact keep an agreement to ar bitrate all questions of vital honor and
 interest, even though it were so un- wise as to make it. and it is wicked
 thing to put us in a position of prom ising what will not, and cannot, be performed
 It must be generally agreed that it is the part of wisdom to make an agreement that we can honor rather than one which may bring us into dis repute among the nations.

Q.-PIease explain this Scriptures: Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death?"
 Answer.-The first death came upon Adam because of sin, and death has been reigning in the earth since, and men have died because of inherited sin. Death is spoken of in the Scrip lures as a great enemy Under the reign of Christ the dead shall return from the land of the enemy, the tomb, the death condition. Jeremiah xxi, 15-17; John V, 2S, 29.) All those who have become Chr1st's in this life re- ceive their trial now. Those who have had no opportunity to accept the Lord will be given a trial then, and if obedient will be rewarded with eternal life on the earth. The reign of Christ is for the purpose of restoring all that was lost in Adam (Acts iii, 19-22) and as the Scriptures declare: He must reign till He hath put all enemies un der His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" q Co., rinthians XIV, 25, 26). In the Scripture quoted in your question. "helf' is from the Greek word "Hades,'' meaning the tomb. Death means the result of the curse that came upon Adam. The words used by our Lord were figura- tive The lake of fire" is a symbol of complete destruction. here called the second death," therefore the sec ond death refers to that death from which there will be no resurrection.

MR. ElWELL'S CALL TO SERVE
 THE STATE.

It was a little surprising to news paper readers that the public utilities commission upon coming into power should immediately turn to a public service company and select an engi- neer and inspector to serve the state but those who know C. C. E1well of the Consolidated road have no doubt the commission acted wisely, or that the state has had called to it's aid one of the most efficient men in Con- necticut.
 The first thing requisite for the po- sition is the very knowledge and ex- perfence which MT. Elwell is known 10 possess and to have had. There is no man who knows his duties better than the man who has been trained in public service corporations and who is familiar with their business, since this qualities him the better to do his duty.
 This state has too often had men in it's service who knew more about po1i- tics than any other service; and who wero handicapped by lack of knewl- edge along the very lines they were expected 10 conduct inquiries: but MT. Elwell is not such man and his we'll established character is perfect guaranty that there are no strings attached to him. no influences lurking around him to deter him from doing his duty by the state; and at the same time we may rest assured that he will do no injustice to the companies con- cerned.
 The first act of the commission commends 1t to the confidence of both sides and assures the state that it's business will not be neglected.
 The honor came 10 Mr. Efwell unso- licited and the confirmed character of The man and his recognized fitness leaves no room for dissatisfaction or discontinue of any sort. Mir. c. c. Elvell Is pretty well known here in eastern Connecticut. and his appoint msnt will be generally endorsed with satisfaction and taken as an evidence of good judgment upon the part of the commissioners. His appointment Is good beginning.
