The Democratic House proceedtd
with n 5 much expedition as possible
under the circumstances TO pass Ger
tain tariff bills, which would have
reduced the amount of money ex-
tracted from the peoples pockets by
the tariff laws by something approxi-
mating S59O.0o0.o0O yearly. and at the
same time would have provided ample
revenue to rum the government. for it
should never be forgotten that where
Uncle Sam gets one dollar out OF the
tariff system. tho tariff barons get at
least nve BY doing SO the Democrats
Kept the faith OF the people.
In this contest. remembering these
things. which one OF the two parties
will the taxpayer believe intends to
carry out its promises made in it's
platforms this year TO reduce the
tariff? VIII :hc taxpayers believe
tho party which violated its promise
ON this subject or viii they believe tint
party which performed its promise?
The Democrats declare in favor OF
reducing the tariff gradually. SO as
not to disturb the legitimate business
Of tho country. for it is a thing in
creditable that any sane man should
desire to in3ure--even in tho estimation
OF a hair-any Legitimate business Of
the country The charge so often
made by the Standpat Republicans that
Democrats. cor some unaccountable
reason. desire to injure tho legitimate
industries OF the country is so pre-
postcrous as to be proof conclusive
that even those who make tho charge
most vociferously do not believe n
word of it.

democratic prospects have not been
so bright since 1892. As a matter OF
fact they are brighter now than they
were at this time in the year 1892.
The reason they are brighter-that the
Democrats have almost certainty OF
winning in Novembcr--is on account
of the magnificent record made by the
Democrats of the House in the sixty
first Congress plus the magnificent re-
cord OF the Democrats in the House
and Senate OF the SiXtysecond Con-

DANGERS OF THE CANOE

Connected with the many drowning accidents which punctuate the summer season in particular though they range through the year as well, is the canoe, which, handled by amateurs, proves a most dangerous craft. Canoes have figured in many drownings this year and they will continue to be a menace to those who have little knowledge of it's use and do not know how to swim The canoe is a wonderful craft in the hands of an expert and especially on rivers, in the lakes in the woods. and shallow water does it meet the de- mands of it as no other boat. Yet be as careful as 1t is possible and the element of danger is not removed. it is constantly present.
 The bad feature of the canoe is its inclination to overturn. It takes noth- ing to tip it over. A slight shift of the body is liable to deposit the nad- dler in the water, for there Is no keel on the canoes and 1t slips as if greased and gives nothing but a slippery or smooth underbody to cling to. Em- barking in a canoe in deep water, en- l tire reliance must be placed on per- sonal ability. Unless the occupants can swim there is little chance of get ting to shore, for it takes more than a novice to right an overturned canoe. The fascinating experience of canoeing has caused many to take chances and | doubtless will continue to, but he who uses a canoe should be a strong and reliant swimmer.

MAKE CONVENTION REFORMS
 NOW.

Now that the conventions of both parties are over and there has been unusual opportunities to observe the methods and desire for reform, it has been apparent that the clamor for changes in party rules were made sim ply for the purpose of creating trouble and forcing nominations Custom and rules which have existed in former campaigns were followed, as they should be until changes are made, and the time to work for desirable changes is now. To lambaste candidates for preparing their campaigns the same as every other candidate has done and is entitled to do under est ablished rules carries little weight, and it is simply campaign material when used previous to nominations.
 If there is such an insis5eEce for changes they should be-continued now, when it will not work to the disad- vantage of candidates who are in no way responsible for their existence. There are plenty of opportunities for reform. both in campaign and conFen- ton methods. If they are to be ac- complished, the effort to bring them about should be made while they are fresh in mind Dilly-dallying will al- low them to go until time for the next convention. when there will be repe- ,ition of the same conditions. The need of making the conventions more deliberative bodies with less grand stand play and outside demonstration is one which win stir up a widespread interest

ought to be commemorated in perma- nent form, invited me in the autumn of 1911, to undertake the work. which I have now accomplished purely as a work of love.
 This endeavor to show what Nor wich celebrated, why it celebrated and how it celebrated. and to set forth it's prosperity in each decade of its long history, justifes a large measure of pride in the town as it is today; and of confidence that the coming genera tion, inspired by the example of those who are now building on the founda- ton laid by their forefathers, will con- tinue the good work in anticipation of a still more illustrious future."
 The executive committee, in seeing that croWning work of the occasion was ably and beautifully done, have rendered the city a distinctive service for which they deserve high praise and commendation.
 This volume is an elegant piece oi work which will ever rebound to the credit of those who made it's publica- ton possible.

STATE REEoRMAroRY.

Within brief period the new state reformatory at Cheshire will be ready for use in caring for the state crimi- nals. who. it is believed, can be helped by the proper influences to overcome their tendencies and become good cit izens. A state reformatory should be able to do a great work if the purpose for which it is instituted can be car Tied out, and it has been given enough study and tests to warrant the trial in Connecticut There are in every com munity men who are not benefited by repeated jail sentences and who need the attention of some institution to keep them in the right path.
 A state refoEmatory will have a wide scope for the control of criminals and detectives. and a large proportion of those who if will guard are defectiyes. Tn the New Jersey reformatory. ac- cording to Dr. G. L. Orton, physician of the institution. nearly one-halG of the 800 inmates are mentally defective. This is the result of two years inyes- t1gation which showed that AS per cent. of the inmates of the reformatery had intellects ranging from three to eight years below that of the average nor nal admit
 The average inmate of refOrrnato tory schools and penitentiarles today Is not the vicious. desperate type, as was at one time supposed. but is rather d weakiing. lacking in will power as the result of heredity or improper eduea- ton The problem is, therefore. to overcome this condition. which doubt less will be found in all sections, and the reformatory can play an important part combined with the effort to check the offsprings of such detectives.

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

Takers and counterfeiters keep de- partments of the government busy all the time for the protection of the gov ernment and the people One of the hardest tasks of Uncle Sam is the pro- lection of those who are willing to be swindled. who go into schemes at tracted by rewards which never come and throw away their good money to the mining stock peddler or the broker who promises an impossible rate of interest. The greed for wealth makes the people easy victims of such schemes, despite the large number of examples to be found in every com munity where gullible people have been separated from their hard-earned cash.
 Among the latest of the get rich quick schemes is that of the land in vestment fakers and the department of agriculture is making a determined eff fort to expose the perpetrators and warn the people. Experience is gener- ally the best warning, but publicity will be used by the department in this rescue work to expose the schemes of the fraudulent but hungry money get ters It is case where those doing a legitimate business suffer from the effects of the frauds, and the plan of the government to expose the fakers should meet with not only the hearti- est approval of the legitimate, but should elicit their cooperation. The government through the secret service has practically eliminated counterfeit ing, and it is to be hoped there will be as great success in downing the land frauds

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
SAVING HIS LIFE

ally his hands gripped whatever they touched.
 Rosser was thiclzset and hearty. His arms could lift the finest cross -bar Jumps ever sent up the pit. But they were all lacerated and bleeding now, and there was no strength worth speak ing about left in them. His legs help ed him. They twisted round the rope, and he was poised for the moment clinging to the rope, in the middle of the shaft, like man on a torture wheel, his body arched outwards and his face upturned.
 He felt his hold giving way. He was clearly conscious of the distance he would drop. He wished that the wind ing engine was pulling up that useless cage at the bottom, so that it might ! catch him as he fell. He envied a man i being hanged. The rope around his l neck would at least hold him up after the drop.
 He became afraid of the stump, the deep hole at the bottom, where all the mud and watery filth of the pit accu- | mulated. He would sink out of sight 1 forever in the slime in the stump.
 He refused to let go of the rope! He would not fall into the filthy sump! All that he had of soul and body
  around the greasy winding rope. His backward turned arms dripped terrible l blood upon his neck and shoulders, yet l the blrning fingers would not loosen their hold. Even while he slipped, slip | ped-sometimes slowly, sometimes with | a long jerk down that frightened him, he could not let go.
 l The Swaying became more wild, and | hampered Rosser increasingly It funS | him almost against the walls of the ] shaft. He could not understand why the rope should be swinging so vio- 1 lently. He did not know that it was moving upwards-slowly for a mo- ment then swiftly Whilst he was slipping down the rope was flying up 1 dangling him to and fro and round and round. until the sickening thing made him forget the slime and filth of the sump. He would let go and drop. Ii was easier than swinging in that hor- 1 ri1ble fashion.
 1 He heard roaring, rattling sound l and saw light flashing down past him
 His hands and legs had refused tC I 60. They wanted to save his life. Be sides. the swaying had ceased. The light was coming up again slowly That, too, stopped when it came op- posite him, and he saw a cage full o1 phantoms carrying lighted pit lamps gibber4ag at him and reaching out te capture him. Three of them clutehe( at his legs and dragged him from tht rope, He thought he was falling back wards into the shaft, but found him. self being hauled to the cage fieol amidst small pieces of eeal and drip, pings of tram oil, and became s1owl! aware that the Phantoms were person al friends of his. Williams was kneel ing over, examining him.
 "A couple of nasty cuts" Williams said, very eheerfully, But not so bad Resser. We thought you were in bits We was coming down to gather vol up."-Buffa1e Enquirer.

ACTION OF OHIO.

The action of the republicans in the state of Ohio Is strong evidence that the members of the grand old party in that commonwealth will be united in the support of President Taft and that tho influence to break them away and boost the third party effort is fast waning. Since the state convention there and particularly since the Chi cago convention. the Ohio republicans have been steadily clinging Co rhe re- publican party which includes the leaders of the opposition. They were the state delegates of several weeks ago who. on reassembling, nominated a state ticket While the president $ friends controlled the first gathering by 8 narrow margin. they selected the state ticket, also but the number of delegates in majority was greatly in- creased, showing an entirely different attitude and the state is pleased with the nomination
 Tn giving loyal and united support ,o the state ticket, the Ohio voters VIII also throw their strength to the national nominees of the part. This stand os the Ohio delegates can well be taken as a reflection of ths senti- mcnt over the country The third termere party is daily losing strength. The party realizes that it has made a wise choice in the renomination of the president and as election time ap. breaches it will still be more eonfi- dent than ever for President Taft and his saneiy progressive policy sp- qesls to those Of all parties vino are against rank radiaalism,

"Somethin's happened" somebody said then followed silence.
 There was the usual parliamentary
 16 men and boys with lighted pit
 lamps in the cage. They had intended going down the shaft in the ordinary way. Now they all suddenly feared
 that they would drop from top to bor tom.
 The winding engine had lifted the carriage with eight in the upper part and eight on the lower deck, the banksman had pulled back his lever to let them pass down.
 Then link snapped.
 One of the four chains which rose from four corners to the winding rope fell with & clink upon the iron bonnet and the car tilted slightly over the
 open black mouth of the shaft.
 Rosser and his lamp happened to be in the bottom of the section, on the outer and lower edge of the slope, and the involuntary and unexpected push of the seven behind him flung him out. There was only a comparatively small
 gap between the tilted floor and the lip of the pit; but the nasty lurch caused the others to fall upon him in bunch.
 When they picked themselves up
 they could not find Rosesr.
 Hes gone down!" they cried in frenzy. Mount Pit was generally reck- oned to be all of quarter of mile
 deep.
 Rosser would have caught at the cage floor, only his lamp was in one
 hand and his drinking jack in the oth-
 CT Both fell faster than he did at the start. He heard the tin smashing against the shaft walls, and he saw
 his lighted lamp drop swiftly out like a
 falling star far off in the night. He had rolled through in sideways fashion, and as soon as his hands were 1 free he found he was clinging to an iron girder by the extreme tips of his fingers, which made the weight of his 1 dangling body seem to be heavier than l a ten ton truck of coal. Before he could strengthen his grip the terrible weight tore him from the girder ana 1 he was falling again. He knew that l he could not touch earth for quarter | of a mile
