CONGRESSMAN UTTER.

Not only Rhode Island and Westerly must feel that they have lost great and good man in the death of Con- gressman George II. Utter, but Con- necticut also shares in the privilege of having known and esteemed his excellent traits of character. Con cressman Utter. a man among men, represented high ideals, and his life and words have been of great help to many. Though his death was fore seen in the near future following the recent operation in Washington. it was not expected to the outside world so soon.
 Congressman Utter was prominent in Rhode Island politics for many years, his record as governor of the state and as a representative in Washington having been one of which the state could be proud. As a speak rr. he was fascinating and forceful, whether on the lecture or political platform. On the former he was well known here and on the latter he had taken an active part this fall in be- half of the republican ticket through the northern part of New England.
 Success has marked the course of tho congressman in business, public and private life. and he was a man who Was bound to make his mark in the affairs of the nation.

THE BEST FOR COUNTRY, STATE
 AND SELF.

In the important question which is 10 be decided on Tuesday. the welfare of every voter is concerned There is faced the opportunity to continue the country along the route of prog ress and prosperity, OF the results which arc flreClztoI when the louu- ia-f1u of structure 's torn from
 -der it. Tho voters cannot loo fully realize the slua-ou. There is need a1 considering seriously the effects which votes for inc various candidates will bring about There are those who propose 10 bring about violent change in the form of our government. One af these parties plans to do it by striking at the protective tariff, a measure which has built up this coun- try, iu1usrrallr. as no other could pos si1lg d.. The. plan to throw aside aI that has been accomplished in nifty years of republican administra- r.5u and force gha country 10 a lower wage level and support of the unem- pl0yei as is done in other countries. This Is the democratic party with its theoretical plans for @ tariff for rev euue onlE Another party strikes at the constitution and the judiciary and plans to put the iencl- of the tariff in the employees pay envelope. This dangerous procedure of the first part throws government into chaotic con 1itiou the rule by mob instead of rule 5E law. and greater opportunity for monopoly The latter part is an i'm possibility A protective tariff in- sures business in American factories at good wages. but tha, .s the only way it can affect the pay envelope. The danger from this third party Is not f1 it's liability to election. for It's strength is insufficient. but it is calculated 10 mow down the majority of the republican party and thereby throw th. election t1 the democrats.
 The history cf the present adminis- rration is sufficient standing out pror1inenrl- as it does for progress humane legislation, antitrust better business and vases 70 make every voter hesitate t0 plunge tho country out Of joint. Because of his support of republican principles. his deep faith in constituted authority, his excellent record, made under adverse ctrcum- stances, President Taft deserves the loyal support of his coIutrymen. Fv- cry voter who stands for the best interests of his country. state and self should vote the straight republican ticket It is a vote for safety, con- tnued prosperity and progress.

FOR MOTOR CAPS.

Plaid flannel of subdued coloring IS made into one of the smartest types }f the autumn motoring caps. The hape is the regulation rounded crown
 nd closely stitched brim that may be oiled in any manner and the only Trimming is a small stick-up fluff of the barnyard order.
 Next in favor are the caps of change able taffeta made with a full crown, shirred in at the back with a rubber and having a turnback front, and after these come the hoods of shirred chiffon in dark shades. All the veils now sold for motoring are rainproof.
 Of course the chiffons are most of all popular, but for the woman who is not afraid of running her complexion there are waterproofed malines, three quarters of a yard wide, which can be draped into most becoming frame for the face.

 Now, we will see what influence he had in the legislature in securing leg islation for Norwich, and what became of the bills he introduced

 Bill annexiEg part of town of Nor wich to Central school district The bill was rejected by the committee. They substituted an amendment which was explained by MT. Donovan of Meriden, and amended bill passed.

 Craney bill restoring rights to Harry L. Peabody. Bill denied after expla- nation by MT. Covell of Pomfret

ABOUT EARRINGS.

Whether one wears earrings or not has practically ceased to be a ques- tion of fashion; it is merely a matter of type. If they happen to be becom- ing to you, you wear them, and If not, you don't. Many foolish young girls imagine that they are extraordinarily chic and are never to be seen without jewels of all sorts dangling at their ears, and in their case it is very much display of rather senseless vulgari- ty. Well dressed and well bred girls do not indulge In silly danglers. In deed. the existence of earrings can only be justified by themselves either they must be stones of value or they must be artistic in color or design. otherwise they are not worth wearing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Campaign in Brief.

Mir. Editor: The following asser- tions seem to the writer incontroyerti- ble:
 The real contest is between the re- publican and democratic parties. The prOgressives do not really expect to elect their presidential candidate.
 A vote for Roosevelt helps Wilson.
 The republican party stands square ly for the protection of American in duStries.
 The democratic party stands square l7 Tor "a tariff for revenue only" Moreover, protection is declared un- cOnStIJutiCnal.
 New England depends for it's pros perity upon it's manufactures more than any other part of the country.
 Should New England lose it's in GusIi'ias, in whole or in part, it would never regain them.
 No state in New England is more vii tally concerned in this question than Connecticut; no counties more than New London and Windham; no Vicin- ity more than Norwich. Congressman Kitchen of North Car olina said at recent session of con- gress: We will so adjust the tariff as to transfer New England industries to the south.
 Taft is honest, open, fearless, safe Taft stands for peace among nations and for the extension of the civil ser vice. He Is a progressive as to all measures that are wise and practical. Taft's plan to revise the tariff upon the recnn1n1 endations of 2 commission of some kind, made up of tariH ex- perts, as done in Germany. having ref erence to Ihe price of laoor and the cost of production. is the only one. and 1 must come about sooner or later These are prosperous times. If Taft remains at the head of the govern ment they will continue indefinitely. If Wilson is elected 1t means a long period of uncertainty. d!Etrust and commercial depression. with lessening l of production and shutting down of ] mills.
 i Whatever policy may be wise for some part of the country, is there any ! doubt how a Norwich citizen should i vote?

THE POT CALLED THE KETTLE
 BLACK,

When Colonel Roosevelt attempts to aeraLe Governor Wilson of New Jer- soy for his action and attitude on trusts. tr is like the pot calling the kettle black The Colonel is in no position to make such an attack. His own record on the trusts and his niguJliness tJ them is now history. He prosecuted them only so faE as he considered necessary in his judgment, protected others and permitted fur tAcr combinations, trusts having in creased from l2 in number to 1920 during his seven years in office. He even permitted the absorption of the Tennessee Coal &s Iron Go. by the Steel trust. It is no wonder that LaFOlIctte declares that Roosevelts action greatly encouraged trust growth. The fact that they organ i2ed by the hundreds during his terms with no restraint tells the story. It was he who had the opportunity to throttle the trusts with no question whatever as to his rights in the mat ter Mir R0osevelts attitude was a friendly one, and so was that of his commissioner of corporations, H. K. smith, now running for governor of this state, when he warned MT. Roosevelt that it might not be well tp antagonize the Morgan interests.
 Wherein lies the force of MT. Roose- yelts remarks concerning another when he in @ more powerful position failed to d. any more? He seeks the flaws in another, but he sees only perfection in himself. LaFonette is still prodding him on a number of his weaknesses. and there seems to be plenty of them.

WHEN PLACING SLEEVES.

A good rule to follow when deter mining the proper position of sleeves when placing them in a blouse is to fold the sleeve along the forward seam and crease it at the top of the fold at the opposite side.
 This crease marks the point of the sleeve that is to be sewed to the shoulder seam-
 After this, measure one inch back of tie shoulder seam and crease the blouse at q point exactly on0osite.
 On this crease the forward seam of the sleeve is pinned. It is then an easy matter 10 haste in the under part of the sleeve. and. gathering the upper part of the sleeve, baste that in even with the edge of the aTmhole.
