RECIPES

Chicago Muffins.-Mix together one and a half pints of cornmeal, two tea spoonfuls of baking powder, one table spoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful Of salt. Work in one tablespoonful of but ter or lard, beat and add three eggs, one pint of milk and beat the whole quickly into a firm batter. The muf- fin rings should not as a rule be more than half filled. The griddle should be hot and well creased to receive the rings. When the batter rises to the top the mullins are usually ready to turn. Serve with maple syrup.
 Chocolate Fruit Cookies.-Cream one half cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar gradually. Mix two tablespoon fuls of grated chocolate with one ta- blespoonful of sugar-taken from the cupful-and dissolve in one taIblesp oon ful Of hot water.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
FRENCH WIT.

French wit is entirely different from the American brand made popular by Artemus Ward and Mark Twain. It IS subtler. It does not provoke amuse- ment so much as it delicately stimu- lates the thought molecules. Here are a few samples:
 Mediocre minds usually condemn everything that passes their compre- henslon. La Rochfoucauld.
 One who talks without thinking re- sembles a hunter who shoots without aiming. "-Montesquieu.
 Life, which we find too short, Is made up of days which we find too long g"-OctaYe Feuillet.
 ITO be without enemies is to be un- worthy of having friends. ds."-Joubert,
 If people of intelligence could not use fools, what would be the use of their intelligence? ?'-Ernest Renan.
 "A virtuous woman has in her heart a fibre more or a fibre less than other women; she is stupid or sublime.'- Honore de Balzac.
 Perfection is a thing so bothersome that I often regret having cured my self of using tobacco. Emile Zola.
 When one has no money it is anus ing to work. Alfred de Musset.
 "The superf1uous is so necessary" Voltaire.
 'Calumniate, calumniate, calumniate, calumniate, some of it will always stick. -Beaumarchais.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Taft Friend of Common People.


 MT. Editor: Allow me to express my appreciation of the attitude of The Bulletin on the present political situa- ton, and to respectfully call your at tention to an article by President Tucker in the last Congregationalist and a letter of pr. Parker of Hartford (to The Courant, I believe), both of which should have wide circulation.
 l confess to having been at one time a great admirer of MT. Roosevelt The noble qualities I thought I saw in him, the high ideals. led me with many others to place him in the forefront of statesmen. From that lofty place he has descended, descended far, in my humble estimation, in ways and language too familiar to need repeat ing. This descent is becoming a mat ter of daily observation by any who think at all clearly It Is painful to witness and to admit. It makes one glad that Lincoln died when he did if there was any chance of his doing later what this self-styled second Lin coin is doing.
 There are very many of us who are getting sick and tired of the big Roosevelt headlines, cartoons, the ex- pressions, liar" thief" fraud" steal knock them through the ropes.F etc. etc. Reform" as used today by Roosevelt, is sickening. The pIaln duty of all republicans and many democrats is to put MT, Taft through another term and silence forever d great. the great American dictator the Great l Am. More dangerous is this deteriorated American personality than all the trusts and aggregations of capital combined. Free trade is not an issue compared to Rooseveltism.
 The time has passed in my judg uent, for deHcately handling Roose- welt and Rooseveltism. The common people must not be misled to do what they will regret. There is no greater political friend of the common people than Mr. Taft, no ono who will stand better fer their best interests in social progress and betterment in the long run. Mr. Taft Is sane, safe, depend able, consistent Lift him in the press where he has already put himself in history.

CONCERNING SCREENS.

The woman who is having read justment of her furniture will do well to consider the value of a screen as a decorative adjunct
 American architects are making the screen do duty for the door to a con siderable extent. The effect is one of spaciousness in quite a small house, for length of vista Is the result. Long rooms leading into one another are decorated in schemes which blend har- mon1ously and the result is an airy and delightful whole
 In a certain house recently lined prettily for bride lovely screen was the feature of a mauve toned sitting room. It was in dull black cloth. which formed perfect background for the scene depicted, tall purple and white iris growing in a pool, the tall spiky leaves being so absolutely perfect and the flowers so wonderfully worked as to make one doubt whether it could be embroidery. Over the pool hovered a solitary bird with a red and blue head and long red bill which gave the little touch of color which the picture needed.

SOUTH cARoLINA's pRoslEM

Down in South Carolina on Tues- day there will be hard fight in the selection Of a governor, the contest being between Gov. c. L. Blease the democratic incumbent of the office and Judge Jones, an independent eandi- date. This fight has been brought on by the unsatisfactory administration of Governor Blease, who has estab- hshed record for issuing pardons to all classes of criminals regardless Inf the crime committed. He holds the role of a boss politician in office which outdistances them all, and in the eyes Of thinking South Carolina people he has disgraced the state in the eyes of the country Bleases pardonins record has stirred widespread interest and brought to him the accusations that he was turning it 10 his own good. financially and politically.
 Referring 10 his pardoning record the Charleston News and Courier says. All classes of criminals have known his favor -bigamists. seducers. thieves jailbreakers. periurers. forgers. van dals, housebreakers, assailants of ehu dren, manslayers. murderers, rapists. We do not believe that all of the gov ernors who have occupied the office since Tillman's day have turned loose as many men who had taken human life or tried to take it. The bare. unvarnished statement of the record of the convicts to whom Governor Blease has extended clemency in his year and a half of office filled. when we printed it the other morning. filled more than four columns of space. It is remarkable showing"
 This is a record, and it has set the people thinking. What do the laws of the state and country amount to with a governor of that caliber in office ? The people of the state will indicate by their action what their attitude on the situation there is. Ordinarily it could bs foretold. but South Carolina is a peculiar state.

THE PANAMA CANAL BILL.

The thing which prompted Presi- dent Taft to insist upon legislation at the Sixty second congress for the Panama canal was that the time be- tween now and the opening of the big interoceanic waterway will be none too great to prepare for 1t, and sac- ton was necessary at this time to get ready for the event. It Is by no means a perfect measure, as he has pointed out, but there will be time to remedy defects by the next congress. and in the meantime the details can be got ten well under way. It is the best bill that could be gotten from the late congress where the policy of delay was paramount.
 The elimination of the section re- lating to the admission of American foreign commerce to the canal free removed bad feature, but there still exists another which would divorce the steamship lines from the railroads on all waters of the country This is a feature which affects all New Eng land, for water transportation is a prominent feature of it's business ad vantages. It is a matter entirely sep arate from the canal and such legis- lation should never have been at tempted in that regard. The oppor- tunity of a review by the supreme court, before it is put into operation, will unquestionably be resorted to.
 As to the British protests, the pres ident feels no alarm on the attitude of congress to admit American coasting trade free. It is a law of the country that such shall be and it discrimi- mates against no nation more than at the present time, and therefore there is no treaty violation.

THE CONGRESSIONAL sEssIoN,

After long session with but little accomplished it is taking congress a long time to adjourn. The session thus far has been an example of dem ocrahc inaction and a determination to embarrass the president. It has shown a sad lack of ability in con structivs legislation and a disposition to hamper important measures which would have been benefit to the coun- try. The democrats have been d power unto themselves in the house and spent their time in devising bills to defeat the purpose of the president. while the senate in it's divided state was in no condition to give the proper consideration to legislation for the public welfare.
 Although 1t was known that the president would veto any tariff bill not based on the report of the tariff board, the house. for political reasons persisted in presenting measures which if passed would have wrought havoc to the industries of the country They would not present bills for re- vision in accordance to the tariff poaIo report and their stubbOrnness resulted in no action at all. They sought to harm the president by their attacks on the commerce court. Cen eral Wood, the naval policy and the removal of civil service in Washing ion, but in this they rather brought oiscredit upon themselves. The pres ldent carried his point in every in- stance, but the bipartisan tariff board was sacrificed in the flood of riders which was attached to the i'm portant bills. The inclination to de- stroy the benefits of established gov ernment was manifested throughout by the democrats, and their attitude IS a very bad example in expectation Of gaining any credit for their hand ling of the reins of government. Presl- dent Taft has shown himself to be al- ways on the lookout for the countrv's welfare and his use of the veto shows inc courage by which he backs LID his stand. The president has gained credit while the democrats have stood in the way of legislation for the ben eft of millions.
