WHAT IF TAFT FAILS?

There appears to be no doubt that
President Taft viii have a majority Of
the delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton pledged to him, and no one knows
this better than his antagonist of
Sycamore Hill.
The total number of delegates re-
quired viii be 1882, and the procure
ment Of 547 votes will settle the Ques-
ton as to who shall be the nominee.
Surprising Colonel Roosevelt and his
friends have the power to capture a
majority of the delegates and defeat
President Taft, what is to be the adj
vantage Of the fact to the republican
party and the country itself2
1t is plain enough that the condem-
nation OF Taft carries with it to de-
gree a condemnation Of his admins
tration before the country, and this
being the case, what hope is there of
carrying the country for Colonel
Roosevelt.
II the republican president doesn't
deserve a denomination, will the people
find that the republican policies are
worth supporting?
II Colonel Roosevelt thinks his coun-
try needs him for a third term, he is
certainly laboring under a hallucina-
ton, for the political pool has never
been reduced to q single frog.
Colonel Roosevelt is openly charged
with violating his promises, and The
Bulletin must admit that the evidence
against him is sufficient to make his
simple denial insufficient

A MistransIation.

Mr. Editor: An obituary in The
Bulletin OF Friday, March LIST, begins
with this statement: Precious in the
sight Of the Lord is the death of His
saints. If precious to Him. should we
not learn some valuable lessons from
it?''
have never been able to reconcile
TINS passage from the Psalms, in the
hlng James version. with the general
teaching of the Bible that death is not
pleasing to God-that it is mans enc
my-that death is q result Of trans
erosion OF divine law, therefore, it is
an enemy to mankind and not q friend.
II says The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is DEATH" / Cor. IS: 20.
God certainly cannot be pleased to
have His people destroyed by enc
mics. and he states distinctly in Eze-
KEEL 10: 3l-S2, Cast away from you all
your transgressiOns wherein We have
transgressed and make you a new heart
and new spirit, for why will We die,
O House of Israel? 32-For have no
pleasure in the death of him that dieth
saith the Lord God, therefore, turn We
. and live Rom. :: %. For the wages
Of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ, our
Lord This is the general trend Of
the teaching of the Bible, and shows
/ that death is the result of sin, and is
/ not pleasing to God, neither is it His
! viii that people should go on trans
1 crossing the law which results in
death.
| In a translation of the Old Tesla
I ment by Isaac Lesser. a Hebrew scholar,
! the verse quoted from Psalms 116 reads
'Grievous in the eyes of the Lord is
| the death o. His pious ones This
/ translation of this passage harmonizes
/ with the other passages that l have
/ quoted, and many that I might quote,
/ showing that t. is not pleasing to God
| but ''gTievous' that His pious ones
/ should die. and that it is His will and
! pleasure that all should have good
! health ara eternal life.

ton of man from sin, disease and
! death.

MASSACHUSETTS AND THE
AUTO,

There is a wonderful show of auto
mobiles being made in Boston this
week, and there is a machine to meet
every need and every taste.
The display shows the rich man can
still pay as much as he likes for the
ultra refnements of automobile lux
ury; but nowadays the citizen of mod
crate means can get service. comfort
and even quality at prices that a few
years ago would have been called i'm
possible.
And at the same time the legisla-
ture is being appealed to to treble
the tax upon horsepower. The chair
man Of the good roads commission
finds that the present tax Of 3S cents
per horsepower is wholly inadequate,
and recommends that it be made one
dollar per horsepower. This, of course,
is meeting with persistent opposition;
but a high tax would doubtless tend
to lessen the horsepower, and the mill
lion a year hoped for might fall short
because Of the good sense and econo-
my Of auto buyers.

THE NOTION PICTURES AND
CHILDREN.

1t is being recognized in all parts
Of the country that motion picture
shows in their relation to children
are producing baneful results.
These shows are being recognized
as educational and here to stay; but
where children are allowed to attend
them too much they are found to af-
feet their eyesight; and if they go
evenings they fall asleep in school and
are unable to concentrate their minds
upon their lessons.
Lynn children at present are allowed
to go to the picture houses in the aft
ernoon, and when accompanied by an
adult, in the evening, but the super
intendent of schools holds that the at
tendance of children under fourteen
should be still further restricted.
New York is proceeding along the
same line with an ordinance making
the open hours for children under six
teen those from three to seven o'clock
and requiring that certain section Of
the house be set apart for them and
attended by matron.
And Philadelphia on Thursday will
adopt an ordinance providing that no
child under thirteen shall be admitted
to a picture show during school hours,
or allowed to remain after halfpast
nine at night Probably these COM
plants and these attempts TO meet
them are all warranted by the facts.
1t seems a trifle ungracious to criti-
else an amusement which provides
wholesome pleasure for so many per-
sons, but it is easy to believe that,
when boys and girls are regular pat
rons of picture shows, they may get
altogether too much of a good thing.

TOO RIGID AN ECONOMY,

There are few people in this country
who win not think that the economy
which prompted the wooden mills at
Lawrence, Mass, to require a fee
OF five and ten cents week, was 60
ing a little too far 1t would be too
much if the water was d. crystal
spring water instead Of polluted water
from the canal.
1t is customary in most places cf
employment for the concern to fur
nish water free to all its employees
and these mills should be compelled tc.
10.
The testimony before the congress
sional committee was enough to make
every decent New Highlander blush for
shame Had it been read as the con-
dition Of lot of foreign workmen in
home mills we should all stand on tip
toe and pronounce 1t an outrage.
1t is apparent enough the inspection
Of factory methods for the protection
Of the operatives is a crying need. The
wage slave is shown to be a reality
under such circumstances, and this
kind Of slavery ought to be abolished.
There is no doubt there is a. large
class Of American working people who
need TO be emancipated. Let us hope
the day is not far distant when such
conditions will be condemned and for
lidden by law.

been seen, and if all goes well there
should be plenty for breeding purposes.
Feeding boxes might be placed on
farms, and the farmers boy could earn
little sum for keeping them filled.
The box should be covered with cedar
branches, 50 that the snow win not
cover the seed. The birds soon learn
where to come for feed.
Such boxes have already been plac-
ed in Preston and Poquetanuck. On
one farm a feed box served twelve
quail every day, and later when the
good news had spread thirty quail
came to feed. Sometimes two Bob
Whites will raise from - to Is at one

LETTERS TO The EDITOR
Home Gardens.

Mr.. Editor The Home Garden as
ISOLATION Of Cleveland, Ohio, had an
unostentatious beginning in the small
private garden of a public spirited cit
lien, the late Edward Wilder Haines.
His interest in settlement work at
Goodrich House brought him into re-
lations with many young people who,
inspired by his example. began to plant
their own little gardens, and at length
the Home Garden association was
formed
1t aims to make the city beautiful
and to interest Large numbers of people
in the task. This is done through the
distribution of seeds, in penny packets.
through illustrated lectures through
school training, and vacant lot gar
dens, Thirty thousand families in

organizations in more than three hun

FOR A NON PARTISAN SCHOOL
BOARD.

After July first, Norwich schools
will be directed by q town school COM
mittee, under the consolidation of dis
tricts. The decision as to how many
shall constitute that committee rests
with the selectmen, who must deter
mine the number by the sixth of May,
the law directing that six, nine or
twelve shall be chosen.
The joint boards of education show
ed = strong and healthy pulse Monday
night when they unanimously declared
for non partisanship on the commit
tee. Schools should be out of politics,
If such a thing is possible. Men
properly qualified for the office, eX-
perienced and broad-minded citizens
must be elected. for they have q great
task before them and one which is
TOO vital to be played with. Whether
the number be six or twelve. though
small committees do more effective
and satisfactory work and are more
easily assembled, the selection should
be made from the men best qualified
to run the schools, rather than get
ting representatives from each school
center, for the men selected will avoid
sectional feelings and consider each
school for its own good and the gen.
eral benefit of all pupils.
The securing of a uniform standard
OF study throughout the town, that all
can have the same privileges, with
promised reduction in expenses, is
one Of the great benefits to look for
ward to.
The wish of every parent today is
for the best possible schooling for his
children and it behooves him to see
that Norwich gets together on this
question, as in the booster campaign,
with the one object in view. that it's
educational institutions shall be of the
best, for nothing too good in that line
can be obtained.
