LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
National Bank Bills.

MT. Editor: Once more we will quote from that indisputable authority, the Hon. E. G. Spaulding on the redemp
 tion of national bank bills. At that time there was talk of establishing an asserting house to assort out the diff ferent bank bills from different parts of the country and send them to their bank for redemption. MT. Spaulding had this to say: Tn the first place, it is not necessary to assort and send home this currency for redemption so long as it is required by the people to carry on the business operations of the country. Every time hundred dollar bill passes from one person to another it is a practical redemption of it by the person who takes it. Every time merchant at Chicago pays to farmer $500 in national currency for a carload of wheat, the farmer by the operation redeems such national currency, not in greenbacks, nor in gold, but in a com- modity better than either, namely, wheat, @ staple article useful to all
 So every merchant in New York that sells a bale of cotton goods and re- ceives his pay for it in currency, re- deems such currency, not in the way that banks redeem it, but in cotton goods, which is far better. because it performs the true functions of money by facilitating the legitimate sale of commodities So every time that a merchant or manufacturer pays his internal revenue tax to the United States collector in national currency the government redeems such currency by receiving and discharging such tax. So every mechanic or laborer that re- celves re tional currency for his ser
 vices reCeems such currency by the labor performed. So it will be seen that just so long as the national cur 1ency is practically redeemed every cay in it's passage from hand to hand in the payment of commodities and services and in the ramified operations of trade and business, both with the government and the people whose op- erations it greatly facilitates, there is not the slightest necessity for resort ing to the expensive and risky opera tion of asserting and sending it home for redemption" Now, MT. Reader do a little thinking and reasoning on your own account. In the first place, the bank tills are safe, and why? Be- cause the government guarantees that every dollar of it shall be paid. A question. if the government makes the bank bills good why can it not make it's own bills as good? A slight diffe"- ence, you will notice While the gov crnments own bills would be paid into circulation without interest to the peo- pie giving service and products. while the bank bills are loaned into circula- tion to business men at interest, wniie tfe government taxes the business anu labor to pay interest to the banks on

eALLAUpETs PERsIsTENcY

There is sincere regret that Edson F. Gallaudet should have figured in such a serious accident in the devel- opment of his new monoplane. For a long time Mr. Gallaudet has con- ducted a persistent study of aeronau- tics resulting in the construction of two or more flying machines For many years he has had the idea of a hydro -aeroplane, but unfortunately it was developed by another before his machine was perfected and he then constructed the Bullet. a mOnoplane of original design which gave great promise. That he is alive today is unquestionably due to the construc- tion of the monOplane, a machine which has interested all the fiers.
 Mir. Gallaudet has had experience in the air and was a careful pilot. but his machine possessed such speed that it got beyond his control. from the best understanding of the accident
 He had not attempted to turn, but was on a straightaway flight with a faster engine than he was used to- or than other machines have. A sue cessful flight at that time meant much to him, but his determination to con- tinue the development of the machine, a decision necessary to accomplish his purpose marks a characteristic of the man. The accident came in the course of developing the science and not as a grandstand display of the hair -rais- ing stunts which so often prove fatal. Norwich has a deep interest in his en- deavors and it is hoped that success will crown his efforts. A steady i'm provement has been the result of his study of the science on both sides of the Atlantic and he yet has much of value to contribute to the cause for which he is willing to risk so much.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
HIS EARNEST EFFORT

when the job was done. but he ex- ulted in thoughts of the triumph he was arranging at the expense of Ho- silk and Hosik's man. Indeed. he had a wild idea of going to Hosik's store and informing it's proprietor that at least one suburban resident would not put up with extortion. However, Per kins decided that he was too warm and Jagged out to undertake this ex- tra eXertion.
 The next day Perkins presented his list of measurements to an apathetic man who seemed to have taken root in the screen department of a city store. "Pd like to know what these screens will cost" said Perkins in an ofhand way. Made up and deliy- cred, of course
 The man looked Perkins over care fully as if in doubt as to whether ii was worth while bothering with such a person. Then he went away and was gone a long time Finally he slowly req ppeared. He was studying a sheet of figures with an intentness leading to the suspicion that figures were somewhat of a novelty to him.
 Do you want all of these made up?" he asked.
 Yes, yes" snapped Perkins. What do you think l gave you the dimen- sions for-exercise in arithmetic?'
 Well, they'll be S1912," he an nounced. And the hardware is ex- tra"
 Perkins snatched the list from him and stalked haughtily out.
 Tn the next two hours he received estimates of $24.50, $20.SO and $17 on those screens from various establish ments and at each place the gentle manly salesman impressed upon Per kins the fact that he would have the joy of putting in the screens and hang ing the doors himself That opened up new line of thought to Perkins. He went to his office and called up his wife on the telephone
 Did Hosik's man say anything about putting in those screens and hanging those doors ?' he asked. If he did, you'd better telephone him to go ahead with the job'
 Pm so glad you called up,' said Mrs Perkins. ''The man came this morn ing to tell me that he'd made a mis- take in adding up his figures and the total would be s22.60 instead of S1260'
 Perkins glared at the transmitteI and conquered a desire to bite it. Does he hang 'em he demanded
 Yes, he says that includes every thing" she said, and Mrs. Miller says"
 ''Fell him to go aheadi" roared Per klns, cutting short Mrs. Miller's opin- ion of the saction.-Chicago News

THE TARIFF BOARD.

The way seems clear for the reten- ton of the tariff board after it was thought that the determination to cut 1t off would go through. It is with feeling of satisfaction that better judgment has been exercised in it's consideration for the benefit of the entire country. The house has been much opposed to the board, preferring the enaction of tariff legislation with out the investigation which will give proper understanding of the situa- tion. This private, star chamber method of pushing through tariff measures for the benefit of certain interests is all right for those inter ests, but it is the benefit of the great CT number which should be sought and that can best be determined by inves- tigation, such as the tariff board is for.
 The New York Tribune in it's SUD- port of the board says: The creation of a tariff board was one of the most substantial achievements of President Taft's administration. It was a long step forward toward the elimination of ignorance and favoritism in tariff legislation The board has had the hearty support of those who think that the time has come to put tariffs on just and scientific basis. The vote in the senate revives confidence that the great gain in efficiency made when the board was created will not be lightly surrendered. After the coun- try's experience with the beneficial work of the interstate commerce com mission it would be a piece of Bour- bonish stupidity to do away with an agency of almost equal promise like the tariff board"
 The tariff board Is recognized by many of the democrats as a necessity and indications point to the house yielding from it's narrow view taken of the situation. It is wise course.

When Perkins reached his suburban home one warm spring evening he found his wife waiting for him with cheerful countenance and card covered with figures and dollar signs.
 The man was here today and meas ured the house for the screens" she said and he left this estimate I thought I'd better show it to you first, but he said he'd go right ahead and make up the screens, because he knew that was the best we could do.'
 What man?' demanded Perkins. Screens? Who wants screens so early in the season? l don't know anything about any screens man."
 Why, he's the regular man-from Hosik's general stere," she explained with the patience that wives learn to possess. He says he measures ey- erybody for the screens every sea son"
 Where are the screens that were on this house last summer" inquired Perkins, with as much heat as though he shrewdly suspected that his wife had made away with them to help along the proprietor of the village gen. eral store.
 T don't know" she said gently. T suppose they were thrown away by the people who lived here before us. All I know is that the man says 1t will cost $12.60 to fix up all the win dows and the two doors-more than that if you want g. fancy front door.
 Not any of that for mel" Perkins observed grimly. T didn't move out here with the sole idea of maintain ing Hosik in the luxury to which he has been accustomed. Twelve dollars! wonder if that old pirate happens to know this is the bargain sale sea- son for screens at every department store in the cityl l wonder if he thinks we never go to town and don't read the newspapers! I'll get screens enough to plaster this place for just about half the money"
 Mrs. Perkins Ventured a remark to the general effect that the expert from Hosiks- had put in a considerable portion of a wearing day measuring the windows and doors and that Per kins might discover he had undertaken quite job if he went at it, Perkins, however, brushed these objections aside with the scorn which a wlfe's suggestions frequently receive and seldom deserve.
 With a limp yellow tape measure he set to work measuring window frames immediately after dinner and when twilight fell he might have been seen half way out of the pantry window trying to get definite information as to its linear dimensions.
 He was soiled, bruised and wilted

WHY NOT IN NORWICH?

With reference to the garden beau tiful contest which the city of Mont clair, x. J., conducts yearly, an in terested New Yorker. evidently a former Norwich resident. inquires of the Bulletin. Why not in Norwich This is a very pertinent question, par ticularly at this time when Norwich is interested in Identification and it can well be repeated Why not in Norwich?
 It is just such a plan as that which will arouse the interest of any com munity to do it's best for the improve ment of city and the beautifying of it's yards and parks. It is a most commendable effort and should be given serious consideration. In Mont clair the plan was started three years ago by J. N. Jarvis. a New York capi- talist, who conceived the idea of stim- ulating the interest of his Montclair neighbors in the subject of landscape gardening The result has been a more scientific treatment of both the large and the small places. Judges refer ring to the characteristics of the grounds Tn Uhelr report treat or the use of trees and shrubs in the lawns. Landscape effects and flower gardens received prizes and so keen was the interest and of such a high degree the excellence of the gardens that the awarding of the trophies was most difficult.
 The idea has spread to many other cities and it is not surprising that it should Norwich could conduct such a contest with magnificent results. Such efforts count and contest of the kind mentioned likewise stimulates other gardens which might not be in cluded in the competition. It is evil dent, however. that the welfare of the Rose of New England concerns it's former residents as well as its resi- dents.
