THEIR RECORDS AS EylpENcE.

It was with deadly aim that Sena- tor LaFellette fired at the bull moose candidate in his address before the senate when he declared fer progress ivism within the republican party and pointed cut that Roosevelt, whose two terms were the most prolific fer the growth of trusts, Is net the man to find the way cut of the situation which has resulted from their grasp. For him to declare for federal control or any other means of regulating the trusts. is joke. Has he ever wished to have checked them the time was when they were forming.
 During his seven years in office the trusts increased from i49 to 10,020. This doesn't look very much as if Roosevelt cared whether they were controlled or not; in fact, their growth unrestricted at just the time when the application of the anti trust law could have been most effective, is an indi- cation of his real attitude, when it is coupled with the existing friendliness with the Harvester and Steel trusts. President Taft has applied the law vigorously despite the handicap which his predecessor placed against him. His action has checked the growth of combinations and inspired faith in the administration. The trust promoting has stopped, and for that reason the trust promoter has gone into politics to get back into power the man who stood by them and permitted their formation and who they calculate will do the same thing again if they can give him the opportunity.
 President Taft has shown the people how he stands on tho trust problem. His determined fight against them and their dissolution has not thrown the business of the country into a chaotic condition. To the contrary it has in- spired faith and equal opportunity and brought the country to a state of pros perlty, in spite of ths fact that it is the year of presidential election, such as has not been previously experienced. IL is plain where the president stands on the trusts, but ROosevelt's actions show that he is trust-controlled, de- spite his words.

GUARDING THE COUNTRIES IN-
 TERESTS.

It is quite apparent that congress is 90 anxious to adjourn that it is in clined to pass most any kind of lcgis- latlon In order to get through and get away from Washington. In doing so, they are calling forth veto after veto from the president, and arc in his veto messages getting a strong state ment of the facts which they already know stand out against the enactment of such measures as they have en- deavored to push through. Without regard to exhaustive reports and fn- vestigations on the subjects handled, the president has had to be the safety valve for the lawmalling body. He has shown that he is guarding the best in- terests of the country and determined that legislation looking to any other end shall rest upon the shoulders of congress rather than upon his.
 President Taft has also taken 2 firm stand against the placing of riders in important bills. This method of load ing down measures which are vital, with matters which, if taken up sep arafRly. would likely be defeated, mas become too common It is an i'm proper way to enact laws and the law makers realize it from the fact that they will make no effort to pass the riders as separate bills Riders are so often innocent at the first glance. but serious consideration shows them to he decidedly dangerous, and there can nor be too much disrOura gRmeDt r-iv- ep 10 congress in attempting to pass such matters. Every matter should have full and free discussion, which if does not get obscured in important pills.

WELCOME THE ROGUE PLAYERS.

This is the week of the year when Norwich welcomes to its circles the expert roque players of the country and their friends. For practically three decades the Rose of New Eng land has been entertaining the leading players of this scientific game, which attracts by it's merits some of the best men of the country. It means an as- sembly of gentlemen of which any city can be proud to be the host, and the enthusiasts in 6 national tournament wherein honor is the chief factor in the observance of the rules of the game, a condition vastly and thank fully different from the disgusting wranglings which characterize many contests of national moment.
 Roque is not so well known under that name as the one from which 1t was derived by the elimination of the initial and last letters of croquet. It is the same game scientifically played on sanded and rolled dirt court with rubber or cement borders and permits of skill second only to that required in a game of billiards The game has llDL SUCH q Adl5 5b AulAlBGl VI LOllOH HtA S as most sports which have a national association, but it is by no means con- fined to any one section. There are big centers such as Philadelphia, Springfield and Washington, while scattered throughout New England and at many points from one ocean 10 the other many admirers and play CTS are to be found.
 Norwich attracts because of it's fine location and it's good and cool climate, which even in August is a wonderful improvement over the big cities. Nor wich should encourage the national gathering here in every way possible. It means a big advertisement for the city; and the national organization. which knows no home but the Rose of New England, should be made to feel more and fnore welcome as its age increases. We welcome back all former attend ants and as many more as can find the time and have the inclination to spend the week on the local courts.

SUGAR IN NEW ENGLAND.

New England has sufficient suita- ble area to produce all the sugar con- stunned in It's limits, in the opinion of Truman J. Palmer, secretary of the United States sugar industry. This may seem strange when it is consid- cred that it is far from the section where the sugar cane is grown and it's climate is not conducive to such cul- tivation, but it is through the sugar beet that such would be possible. and. as a matter of fact, it was in New England, at Northampton, Mass, that David Lee Child in 1889 received a medal for the first beet sugar made in America.
 The beet sugar industry is a fast growing one. Through the middle west it is gaining by leaps and bounds, and even into the far west is the cultiva- ton extending, so that in those sec tions the farmers look to it for S45,- 000000 of their income. In connection with his advocacy of the growing of sugar beets in New England, MT. Palmer naturally sees the opportunity for obliterating the abandoned farms, WHICH dI6 cdi4y SiO"lh6 4CSo anu 4SSS' and says that wherever sugar beets are planted, wornout soils become re- juvenated and faIlow and abandoned fields become fertile"
 He makes an important suggestion to New England in the agricultural line when he advocates the sugar beet industry, in support of which he says that a thorough study has shown the climate and soil ideal for such culture, and points out that with labor at hand to till the farms, and capital and labor at hand for the manufacture of beet sugar, with the market for all that can be produced so near, no better condi- tions could be expected. It's a prop osition which should receive careful consideration.

Votes for Women.

MT. Editor: Perchance the follow ing has some bearing on the subject of Votes for women:
 The last annual report of the treas urer of the state of Connecticut (to September 30, 1911), dscloses that 1913 estates paid an inheritance tax.
 Of that number 66S were the estates of women, being over 50 per cent. of the total
 Some of thes dead women must have possessed sense enough to vote.
 Doubtless many of them created their estates, and in the other cases, someone must have had confidence in their mental capacity, which capacity was proved by the fact that they re- tained their property.
 It is often, and truly, said that it is easier to make money than to keep it.
 Yet none of the dead women could

CORN PUDDING.

Take six small or four large ears of corn, cut the thinnest possible, shaw ing from the rows of corn on the cob, then a heavier layer and so so, until fl Is all cut off, This is much nicer than grating or seraping it. as it is not so mushy and does not make the pudding so solid, There should be about two eupfuls of this pulp Take two eggs well beaten, stir in the corn, add a level tablespoonful of butter three quarters of a teaspoonful of salt and dash of pepper. Stir thor oughly and gradually add tive cupfuls of sweet milk. Pour into a pudding dish and bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. Serve hot with the meat

IN DESPERATE STRAITS.

It was only few weeks ago, it will be easily recalled, so vehemently was it uttered, that the Roosevelt packers were crying out against the alliances between the Taft forces and such men as Lorimer, and. in fact, Lorimer him. self. It was made to appear that that alone was sufficient to blacken any candidate, though it was perfectly well known at the time that President Taft was not for Lorimer. Now comes the surprising statement from the Chicago Tribune, the paper of Medill Mccormick, one of the strongest sup porters of Roosevelt, which declares that an alliance is being formed be- tween the Roosevelt supporters in that state and the Lorimer machine. It says That such an alliance is being formed, or is aimed at, seems beyond doubt The motive of the republicans who follow the leadership of Lorimer is revenge on the organization which threw them out The motive of the progressives who would accept their aid is gain. The association is not hal lowed"
 This only confirms the opinion which has long existed that the motive of the progressive party is revenge and vic tory at any cost. What is a bad thing for the republican party seems to be all right for the progressive party. It is gathering under it's wing all those who have a grievance against either of the old parties. It was after the Lorimer expulsion that Roosevelt claimed that he was responsible for it. The party with morality and bet terment of condition for it's watch words Is certainly making an inglori- ous start in it's desperate fight for votes. Consistency and sincerity have been consigned to the obsolete list.

B. X. SNOW

The deeper he gets in love the more irresponsible and crazy he becomes while the more a woman loves the wiser she is.
 Love seems too strong liquor for man, and a little of it appears to be all he can stand. A woman, on the contrary, like some old topers, grows shrewder, keener eyed and clearer headed the more she feels.
 Hence in most couples who are very loving it is the wife who rules. As they become more and more cool the authority of the husband rises.
 Further, the more that love Is phy- sicaI merely the more the man controls the woman, and she looks up 10 him and the more spiritual and intellectual love becomes the more the woman is in the ascendancy.
 This is why the wife is so free and potent in America: woman is most idealized here.
 Love to a man is g mystery; he can only be happy in e laundering. won dering way, but a woman the more she loves the more she knows what she Is about
