ELECTION SPECIALS.

Fielding wrote: Tt is not from Nature. but from education and hab- it's, that our wants are chiefly derived" so they must be interpreted as a sign of progress. whether they are all voted or not
 The Bulletin does not know when before so many good things were wanted at once. We want Otis li- brary continued as an auxiliary aid 10 the schools; we want the tuition of the pupils of Norwich in the Acad emy paid; we want the schools con solidated and textbooks and utensils furnished free to the children. These are special local wants which will be acted upon in town meeting.
 Then state-wise We want the lieu tenant governor given power to act as governor. so that when a governor dies in office as did the late George Lilley, or when the governor desires to leave the state for few weeks or months, that we may have an author ized substitute whose acts will be constitutional and no special act of the legislature will be needed to make them legal. Then we want the ses- sions of the Connecticut general as sembly limited so that legislators nev- CT again can sit for ten months with out the approval and consent of the people: and these last wants are to he voted for at the ballot box and should not be neglected by the voters, many of whom are likely to overlook them if they do not keep them in mind and have a care. These issues are too important to be forgotten and neglect ed
 Every one of these issues are live issues, and have the merit of being elsewhere in operation and being pop ulsr with the people; and while some of them may be defeated as matter of economy. every one of them are is- sues that will not down, and that will eventually be carried by the people
 Then there is the issue of the par ties who select citizens to fill the of fees in the gift of the people and ask for the support of the electors. The republican ticket is composed of we'll known and experienced men, and in- vitss the interest and support of the party and such independent citizens as may be impressed by their well known ability to conduct the affairs of the town right

WHERE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES
 GO.

The value of the automobiles and parts exported from the United States will foot up a grand total of twenty million dollars for 1911: and in 1901 the total exportation did not reach one million. The foreign sale passed the one million dollar line. in 1903 it was more than l 1-2 million dollars, in 1905. ? 1-2 million: in 1906, 1-2 mil lion, in 1907, ] 3-4 million: in 1909 : 3-4 million: in 1910, 13 million: and in 1911 seems likely to be. for automo- piles alone. bout 14 million dollars for parts thereof. except tires. about 3 1-2 million dollars: and for tires about 1-2 million. These figures are for calendar years.
 Even this increase in value does not fullS represent the increase in the number of machines exported since the export prices has fallen in the meantime. The average export price of automobiles exported in 1903 was, in round terms. s2.000; in 1909. s1,5o0; in 1910. little over S1,300; and in the seven months of the year 1911 for which figures are now available, a little over s1.e0e each, the export price having thus fallen practically one-half since 1908. these figures of average ex- port prices being obtained by dividing the stated number ef automobiles ex- ported into the stated value thereof for each of the years in question.
 Canada is by far the largest mar ket for automobiles exported from the United States. or the practically nine thousand machines exported in the seven months ending with July. 3.724 went to Canada: 1875 to the United Kinsdom: 93S to British Oceania Cchiefiy Australia and New Zealand) :: s77 to Asia and Oceania other than British. A to South America: 27s to France: 115 to West Indies and Bermuda: 147 10 Mexico; 137 to Italy, and 73 to Germany. These figures do not include the shipments to non con tisucus territory of the United States. the number sent to Hawaii in the seven months in question being POP: to Porto Rico 154, and to Alaska two.

A PROFITABLE REFORM.

It is a truth that occupational dis eases may be greatly reduced by keep ing the places in which men are em- ployed. clean. Chicago physician says occupational diseases are as com mon as consumption. The state fac tory inspector of Illinois is carrying on campaign to safeguard workmen against occupational diseases, and the work is being welcomed by workmen and their employers Clean, comfort able and attractive working quarters is the slogan.
 The death rate among workmen in Illinois has decreased 300 per cent. since this safety movement has got under way within the last ten years. It will decrease still more. The move mant has only started MT. Davies has issued orders to number of large employers. requiring them to provide lavatories, with hot and cold water, clean towels, soap, nail brushes, show CT baths, dressing rooms with indi- vidual lockers, and, further, that the sweeping and cleaning of factories shall be done outside the regular working hours. Three Chicago corpora tions have expended. or are expending, nearly half million dol lars to provide more comforta ble work ing conditions. They are the stock wards company, s250.000: the Pullman company, S165o00 and the Illinois Central railroad. s7o,000.

that is death to friendship. Shakes
 neare wrote: Suspicion haunts the guilty mind, but it also haunts the
 minds of the envious and the curious.
 Suspicion prompts the mind to put this
 and that and the other thing together, and to come to conclusions; and the conclusions founded upon suspicion are as far from the truth as the north star is from the center of gravity De- tectives who get innocent people into prison and writers who make over nightmares into literature are the only persons who seem to profit by it. It has been said confidence goes out at the door suspicion comes in at, but that depends upon the character of suspi- cion It takes suspicion, even, quite a while to build up a character and generally the longer suspicion builds the worse his character gets. It is a very good plan to steer clear of sus- picion.

A STUNNING BLOW FOR RECi
 PROCIJY

Champ Clark's political jest helped make the fight against reciprocity in Canada a success. as no other one could, for it was this in the French provinces prompted the priests to make a religious issue of it and to frighten their. parishioners with the idea that with such a change their religious privileges would be greatly restricted.
 The conservative campaign. was based upon misrepresentation and prejudices and assurances from the leaders to the Cana dian people that to knock reciprocity out was to politi- cally kill Taft and to promote the tri- umph of the democracy in the United States by which triumph the Cana dian people would be ble to gain every ad- vantage of reciprocity without ma kin g any sacrifices al all: or. in other words. they would get American mar kets free while their own were pro tected: and if the American people are what the Canadians think they be, Canada will win what she knows she really needs without costing her a cent. or fair policy of exchange.
 The Changers of Connecticut are safe: and if they vote for democrat ic administration in 1912, they are likely to experience the knockdown in prices without getting the advantages which would come through a fair and considerate exchange trade for which Taft was fighting; and the loss may vet be very much greater to the Grangers than to Taft, for Canada declared reciprocity with this country would increase prices there rather than reduce them; and that being so we have lost the great increase in profit able trade which the Cana dians would have given us.
 When the country comes to itself and looks the field over, the Cana diar defeat of reciprocity is likely to in crease President Taft's political strength rather than to weaken it, fol America does not want a party ir power whose economic policies give away what rational nations are gla6 to win through reciprocal arrange ments.
 The democrats have counted upoI this as boom for their party, and i the republicans lack sense it will worl to the advantage of the American fret traders.

Q.-I know a great many good and
 honest people who do not even claim
 to be Christians; why don't they be-
 Iieve in the Lord Jesus Christ? Answer.-The Apostle Paul declares
 that By faith ye are saved Some
 people cannot exercise the quality Of faith. The Apostle also declares that by the Word of God. which means in order to have faith one must study the ] Word of God and believe it, The Apostle Paul answers this question when he declares that the God of this world (Satanl, manifested in this pres ent evil order of things. has blinded the minds of those who do not be- lieVe (II Corinthians iv, 4). The great Adversary, Satan. is the author of so many falSr doctrines that many good, honest people have become greatly con i fused by them. One system has taught one doctrine, another class, equally honest. another doctrine, until We have in the world more than three hundred different denominations, all having some truth mixed with much error. Many honest people have been un- 1 able to separate the truth from the error. and accept only the truth and 1 reject the error, hence the confusion l and refusal to have anything to do with either. If all were to follow the admonition of the Apostles, Study to show yourself approved unto God, and not follow man made theories. there would be less confusion and more who would readily accept the 1 Scriptural teachings.
