poLlrlcs IN EDUCATION.

Gatherings of educators are proving to be as great promoters of trouble as the big political gatherings and many of the same tactics are being copied with no credit to the educators. The path of the educator Is paved with difficulty when in pursuit of his usual duties. but to add to 1t schemes for control and the wrongful guidance of elections puts phase on their con- vention which would hardly be ex- pected in the National Educational as- sociation where a high order of con- duct might be anticipated and busi- ness proceed with deliberation if there were differences of opinion.
 There has been a determined effort for the control of the office of presi- dent in recent conventions and a big surprise was the declaration this week that the president chosen last year had secured sufficient votes through padding the roll of teachers from her home city. This was used at the con- clusion of the year for the purpose of accomplishing the election of a New York woman to the presidency. It failed to work. the record of last year was expunged and the same forces which controlled last year again led this year and a man was placed in the chair. A boting spirit has been aroused and a new educational asso- citation may be formed. These are cer- tainly parlous times when the rule of the majority will not be recognized in politics or even educational affairs. The Chicago school marm outgen- eralled the New Yorker.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Guard the Children.

MT. Editor: The brutal murder of little Julia Connors brings up the thought What can we do to save other girls from a like fate?' Some say Keep the girls at home" Must our girls be denied all pleasure so brutes can run at large? This little girl was going in the public street only a short walk from home to meet her parents. If she had been sent to the store or postoffice her fate would have been the same, for it was before dark and he could have taken her from her own yard as well as from the pub lie street. It is as sensible to say, Her parents ought to have stayed at home and took care of her." as to say She ought to have been at home When sheep are killed by dogs. tell the farmer that the sheep ought to have been kept safe in the barn.
 Then the officers. If one of the rich men of the city had told them his wife had lost her pet dog there would have been 6 search from one end of the city to the other. The little girls lies made an uncomfortable night for three men and the officers Look for your own kid,' made q night of agony for the father and mother and torture for the child If the girl had told the truth the murderer might have been caught, and If the officers had "got busy" when first called he might have been caught in the act and the child saved. To come nearer home AL most all of our country roads and some of our village streets are border ed by bushes on one or both sides, and they are not cut an arms length from the wheel rut, and children have tc pass those bushes to go te school. Oui town helps to protect the deer; why not cut those bushes and protect the children.
 l. We send a man to states prisor for stealing a horse, but we let hin settle up for the sake of his family when he steals the honor and ch8rac- ter of little girl. We seldom heal of even a hen thief being let off ''fol the sake of his family"
 I once heard a mother reprove a 1; year old girl for resenting an insult 1 ing familiarity from middle ageC caller, saying You will make hin mad, and it is pleasant place to visi and his wife makes you nice pres | ents."

RENEElr oE olLEn sTREETs.

For two seasons now Norwich has had occasion to give thanks for the fact that 1t has had oiled streets, de- spite the mess that the oiling has caused when first put on. Extremely dry seasons have caused an unusual amount of dust wherever nc attempt has been made to lay the dust and in places where water has been used the same unsatisfactory results have been obtained. Water lasts but little longer than the time required to sprinkle 1t over the streets. Some ci- ties, including New Haven. has been finding fault with oiled streets from health standpoint, but this, accord ing to the health officer, was from the mixture of oil and dust, which when it becomes dried is blown about.
 Remedy for that has been secured here by taking off the dust or powd- cred top dressing of many streets be- fore the oil was used and again in keeping the streets oiled. Little trou- ble has resulted from dust on oiled streets this summer in fact the relief during the extremely dry spell has been particularly q welcomed. There are many citizens who are anxious to pay for the oiling in front of their residences, but who would oppose the return to the sprinkling of the streets with water Norwich was forced into the use of oil by the lack of water and barring the nuisance when first 1 laid it could not be induced to re- turn, results are so satisfactory.

ANOTHER BID FOR NOTES

By the latest announcement the Col onel IS to come out for downward re- vision of the tariff It is thus recog- mixed by the third term seeker that the one feature which he refused to pay the least attention to during his seven years is the big issue of the day and he must take up a plank of the republican party to satisfy a large section of the country. He is after votes now When he was in office and the cry Was just as insistent he turned deaf ear 10 all demands and directed attention 10 something else. He has vet to demonstrate that he has un- dergone any change of mind in the meantime. He is and always has been high protectionist He represents those who seek the continuance of the graft providing regulation.
 Even now that he has seen a great light there is only a vague indication given as to what he stands for in the way of tariff reform. On the other hand the stand of the president is yelled in no such way. He stands fo1 the revision when accomplished in 2 business like manner or after an in- vestigation which will permit a thor. ough understanding of what has beer done The failure to have such data is what called forth the veto of the measures proposed during this term The president desired the report oi the taTif board which the democrats ignored. but which gives a basis foi sane action. It is a safeguard foi radical action and what work it ha. done will be available for action later

THE ICE CREAM INDUSTRY

This is the season of the year when the ice cream industry is kept rum ming to it's capacity and it has come to be a big business in itself, under going a great development within the last few years. Ice cream is by no means new. but the demand for it has been increased as fast as the supply is furnished. It was only a few years ago that ice cream parlors took care of much of the trade. but now outside of the supplies for homes 1t furnishes the big trade for every soda fountain and 1t is a trade which is kept boom- ing throughout the year.
 The consumption of ice cream in the United States in 1906 amounted to 55,OO0,OO0 gallons. It practically dou- bled in the next four years, for in 1910 1t had reached the grand total of 100,00O,000 gallons. It did not stop there, but continued in popular favor to 2 greater extent. so that last year there were 120,O0O,0OO gallons con sumed, or about five quarts for every man, woman and child in the country, provided everyone was content with that amount Individual consumption figures are not available, but the record is unquestionably high. In the freez- ing of the favorite dish nearly two million tons of ice are required, while 4S0,000 tons of salt are used. The ice cream habit may be one of the causes for the high cost of living when it is figured that the expenditures for the increased consumption amounts to $26,0OO,O00 more in 1911 than it did in 1906.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

Thought is the trouble maker of the world If it were not for the thinkers, kings might go on undisturbed spend toll, and trusts keep sleek as fatted swine, and superstition rule for ever, all old frauds flourish as eternal oaks.
 It is the thinker that is at the bot tom of every revolution. He splits parties and churches. he sows discon- tent among the lowly, and makes the magnificent ones of earth suspect their privilege.
 Thought brings down them that sit on high, and the despised and reject ed of men 1t raises up.
 Thought Is the loyal friends of de- mos It Is always for the many against the few. The sure and selfish cry out, They that turn the world up- side down have come hither alsol" Thought is always modern and more 1t is a futurist. it is the abiding here tic, the ever present disturber of the peace.

EARLY TRAIN SERVICE.

It is good news which the public utilities commission gives to the resi- dents of eastern Connecticut and par ticularly along the line of the Central Vermont railroad in it's decision that the early morning train north over that road must be replaced by next |, Monday. It was conclusively demon strated tO the commission by repre- sentatvts from all points along the line that the business houses. and the mail and express business depending on that train for a period of a half century demanded it's return. Great harm would have been done by the change which has been in force since June S4, but it was with confidence that the Norwich and other business interests and associations appeared before the commission as they had been deprived of a means of trade and accommodation SO long established as 10 become an asset of their business. The commission was entirely justified in it's action
 Strange has been the part that New London has played in this effort for relief With the municipal and busi- ness interests of eastern Connecticut endeavoring to work in unison for bet ter conditions and the development of their opportunities, New London men in signing the remonstrance indicating their satisfaction at the removal of the early train. took a decidedly selfish but characteristic stand when the oppor- tunity came to help a sister city. If New London had no business interests which would be assisted by the train there was no occasion for trying to hurt the interests along the line which would be benefited While it amount ed 10 nothing in the way of harm, no thanks can be expended in that di- rection for assistance received.

q really don't think we're going to have enough tables for all the people" complained Miss Jones at the church dinner, with a deepening of the wrin- kles of many cares. T don't see why the minister made 1t such public announcement. He might have known that we have to borrow dishes for the dinner"
 Never mind" soothed Mrs. Bur rows pushing chairs into the various places. meanwhile glancing compla- gently at the clock Its about time to begin, and we're all ready.
 Miss Jones moved nervOusly over to one of the tables. T really don't think these flowers are fresh enough do vou ." she asked of any one who might choose 10 answer as she fused over them and replaced several stems. NThe florist promised faithfully that he'd pick out perfectly. fresh ones but knew we couldn't trust him."
 ''Oh, did you buy the fiowers?" some one inquired politely.
 NO, they didn't put me on the com mittee. But know that florist of old, so 1 just called him up this afternoon and told him that I wouldn't tolerate any tricks. told him that he'd better send @esh flowers or he'd lose our trade"
 Miss Jones moved away, deeply agi tated over the falseness of the word of florists.
 "Oh, are you going to wear that big apron ?" she inquired, stopping small girl who was hurrying in with tray of dishes. T. thought all the girls were going to wear small round ap- rons. I suppose it's all right, but l think uniformity is much better. Didn't any one tell you? But, of course, no one did. It seems that If l don't take hold and do things nothing ever gets done!"
 She darted over to a far corner, as she spied the minister approaching. | "Oh, Pm SD glad you've. come!p she exclaimed. I'm sure l don't know who is in charge-but. there ought to be some head, that's sure! Who is going to take the tickets? We ought | to station some one at the door. Peo- pie are just thronging in, and you know that some people can't be l trusted!
 By the way" as he turned to leave, you'd better announce at the begin ming of the dinner that everybody must hurry and get through, for we've got a lot of business to attend to- and besides all the dishes have to be washed and put away!

MANAGING THINGS

''What!" she cried little later, as she watched the serving. Are you putting ali that meat on one plate 2" Her tone was horror struck. "Oh, or course, they're hungry. but church Is no place for them to come to stuff themselvesl I'd just put about half as much meat on each plate-youn never have enough at that rate. Oh, Of course, you know what you're doing, but I'll warrant that you'll regret it!"
 She moved away huff1y to see how the tables were progressing.
 Good evening, Mrs. Grey" she exy claimed, bending cordially over one of the diners. Aren't you lucky to sit at the first table! I thought you were going to take charge of g table, but 1 suppose you were too busy with your home duties. I really ought to have stayed at home this evening I've quantities of mending to do, and my room is growing fairly strange. l so seldom remain there long enough to look aroundl But then, since the church really needs my help, it's the least l can do to be here!

and hay last winter, and now? Why were potatoes from $150s to $2.25 per bushel and hay all the way from $23 to $30 per ton, and these prices pre- vailed up in the neck of the woods where Brer Vallette rusticates. When the threatened coal strike was immi- nent, and farmers who had wood to sell raised the price of white birch punk, with toadstools growing on the wood, 25 cents per cord. did the beef and coal barons make the price?
