Clyde B. Guptill, who was the victim of murderous assault at skagway about year ago, has resigned the agency of the Alaska Steamship Go. there and has gone to the States. He has evidently little confidence in the protection of the United States deputy marshals or in their ability as detec- tives and does not care to chance an- other assault.

by electing Wilson and two houses to act with him, are not friends of Theo- dore Roosevelt. They are using him as tool to pick the Wilson chestnuts out of the fire Nothing could make this plainer than the determination to prevent endorsing good republican can didates for state officers and members of congress. The Connecticut progress sive party knows that they cannot elect their ticket. Is it a sign of prog ress to force the election of governor who wanted a year ago to return to laws of 1790 in electing state sen- ators?
 There is plenty to do in this state from this on to defeat the enemy of progress-the democratic party. Every true progressive will put his shoulder to the wheel and do his little all to help. It is an easy matter, even all lowing the most wild claim of the pro- gressive state committee 25,000, there is still 15,000 plurality left for Presi- dent Taft. A good soldier hates to change horse on charge, but if the one he rides is killed he must do his best; face the enemy even if there is two of him. Forward to the fight; All stand together for the full dinner pail, con- tinued prosperity, even though you are compelled to vote against your favorite candidate for president. Progress and prosperity go hand in hand, but neith- CT can be expected from a President Wilson heading a congress of un- democrats. *

scouRcE OF WHITE SLAVERY.

It was powerful appeal which was made before the International Con- gross on Hygiene and Demography by Prof. H. A. Kelly of Johns Hopkins university for greater and more united effort for the suppression of white slavery. Professor Kelly has made d long study of the great evil and by his estimate this abhorrent vice costs this country every year the great sum of three billion dollars Like other scourges he recommends that the most effective manner of attacking 1t, and, in fact, the only successful one, Is to hit at the cause. This can be done by improving conditions. When he con- cludes that this vice is "a reflex of social conditions--of poor housing and poor wages" he unquestionably has decided right, and when he Says that more than to anything else it is due to the indifference of the public and of the churches, and the fault for this traffic in women lies with the people at large he points out the remedy
 The attack upon the evil should be made from all sides at once. and per- sistently. It needs men and women of character to give it their devoted at tention and in that they must have the united support of the public and the church. In this regard Professor Kelly holds that "the church must be recalled to its real work among the poor of the city and then we must all join hands together-the churchman, the scientist and the social worker and the purity of our lives is assured" It is work which should have the strongest kind of support from those who can give it assistance.

LAKES TO GULF WATERWAY.

Throughout the middle west. the section which is in the valley of the Mississippi and it's tributaries, great interest is being taken in the move- ment for great waterway from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico. It is desired that a channel fourteen feet in depth should be provided so that that portion of the country can be served by large vessels A canal now exists, but 1t is not used, though pas sable for small vessels from Lake Michigan to the river. A much larger one is desired. This plan has been giv- en great impetus by the meeting of advocates in that behalf at Little Rock, Ark, the past week. Such water way has been found entirely feasible by engineers who have made prelim- mary surveys. but there is question if there would be traffic enough to warrant such a deep channel as de- sired.
 With the opening of the Panama ca nal the opportunity of greatly in creased trade for the section about the Mississippi is offered and the desire to give the Lake Michigan trade an outlet in that direction has resulted in an increased determination to over- come the disadvantage which they ind themselves in. The movement has the backing of men of prominence and its chances look much better than they did few years ago. It is evident that the Mississippi will be the object of vast expenditure of money in the next decade. with this proposition be- ing so strongly urged, and the need of taking care of the flood conditions so glaringly set forth

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
MISS ENVELOPES TRIAL

Miss Penelopes false front sat less fall of her jabot indicated that the heart somewhere beneath her stays was working overtime. She dashed through the door of her neighbor, Phoebe Sears, and stood with her back against 1t, as if shutting out some- thing that was pursuing her.
 My dear" she panted, my dear; IT hid iti''
 Phoebe looked up from the sock she was alarming and was startled by the alarm in her visitors eyes. Thoughts of manslaughter and child stealing disturbed her mind.
 For goodness sake, Miss Penelope! Hid what?" she gasped.
 Why, Phoebe, Fve-Fve-you know, I've taken a new boarder."
 You do that often, Miss Penelope"
 But it-it-he-he is a gentleman, Phoebe. A single gentleman"
 "Oh." Phoebe breathed again. Gentleman boarders don't bite, do they, Miss Penelope?''
 "No-not exactly. That is, I-I don't think so. But" Miss Penelope came nearer and lowered her voice confiden- tially, you know, my dear, gentlemen are so-different."
 She paused that Phoebe might be duly impressed with this startling fact. You see, Phoebe, never had gen. tleman boarder before, and 1 keep but the one servant, so I always clean the boarders' rooms myself. That is how I-I happened to-to-see it," she whispered, in awe stricken tones.
 But what was it you saw, Miss Penelope?" inquired her neighbor
 'I'll tell you, Phoebe. As I was say ing, always clean the boarders' rooms myself, keeping but the one servant, and this morning I watched through the shutters until he'd gone out. Then, says I to myself, its all safe now So I tiptoed along the hall in order that none of the boarders should know where l was, and when l got in- to the gentleman boarders room l shut the door and locked 1t, Phoebe. Then l bolted it, too. And 1 walked right across the room, real bold, my dear, to make believe I didn't mind, and started to make up the bed, and there 1t was lying right across the middle!" Miss Penelope's voice dropped to a tragic tone and her lean hands be- came expressive in their gestures.
 You Know. my dear" she went on after visible effort to pluck up cour-

NEED OF BETTER WALKS.

One of the many ways in which Nor wich can add to it's beauty and the comfort of its people and visitors is to start a healthy movement for bet- ter sidewalks all over the city. Many are in wretched condition even in the main streets. where the people of en- tire districts have to use them This is one of the directions in which the city can be greatly benefited. The owners of bad sidewalks should be made to put them in good condition, at least, and if the city hasn't the power to do it, 1t is time an effort was made whereby 1t can be given the power. Bad walks are sooner or later bound to result in someone getting hurt, and the city being sued for dam ages.
 Poor walks are d detriment to every city and yet the property owners who have to provide a sidewalk for both sides of the street go to the expense of not only keeping 1t in proper shape but clean 1t during the winter, year in and year out are being called on to shoulder an unequal burden. How many streets outside lthe important avenues of trade have walks on both sides? This unjust situation plays an important part in the matter of poor walks.
 Neighborhood or district improve ment societies have met this problem successfully elsewhere, 1t iis a mat ter which needs to be met and by some method of general cooperation. Let everyone take a hand in the mat ter and the solution will be quickly and properly settled. With winter weather approaching no time can be wasted if anything is to be accom- plished this fall.

THE MEANING OF PROTECTION


 It C the practical side of the tariff question which needs to be understood in this campaign, for 1t is upon its maintenance that the progress and prosperity of the country depend. The protective tariff is for the purpose of permitting the building up of home market for what the country produces, or. in other words, 1t is not the re- striction of articles or goods which cannot be or are not produced in this country, but deals entirely with com petitive products. The creation thus of an industrial system which can stand alone, give employment to the millions of workingmen and pay bet ter wages than the European coun- tries, is responsible for the great prog gress which the United States has made in the past fifty years under re- publican rule. pc
 That the tariff on articles is not ex- -cessive Is shown by the fact that there are s700.000.000 worth of imported competitive goods each year, goods which could be made or products grown in this country A much great CT amount is. of course, kept out by the tariff, and that is what contributes to the industrial activity and prosper ity of the country. The many millions of dollars worth of articles imported should be produced by this country, and the money which is sent to Europe should go into the pockets of the Am erican workman This is what protec- ton means and does. The flooding of the country with the product of cheap labor reduces the chance of the Ameri- can workingman. The democrats want to give the Europeans a better show and the American shopman lower wages and no work. Protection is like an insurance policy to. tl~e American wage earner

Something Voters Should Read.


 Mr. Editor:< The electors of this town who contemplate casting their votes at the coming election for Theodore Roosevelt would do well to read in the North American Review of February, 1912, "A Chapter of National Dishonor," l" by Leander T. Chamberlain, D D., for merly pastor of the Broadway church in this city, and conscientious voters who desire to cast their votes for the best interest of themselves and their fellow men would also be wise to read "Rooseveltian Fact and Table," by An nie Riley Hale, published in 1908, and also Bull Moose Trails" published in 1912 The North American Review and the two books mentioned can be found at the Otis library.
 The facts contained in these publi- cations will be helpful to any man de- string light as to casting his ballot in favor of righteousness.
 righteousness exaltetb a nation:
 But sin is reproach to any people.

age enough to tell the rest of the story, T never touched a-a-I never touched one before in my life, but I didn't see how 1 could make up the bed without moving it. What in the world shall I do?" says I to myself, real troubled. If l put it under the pillow he'll know l saw it, and never could look him in the face again if he knew that But there was the bed waiting to be made, and he might come home any minute he's music teacher, you know and Mrs. Todd was calling to me that the market man was come, so I just grabbed the broom, and poked 1t un- der the pillow.

 But it didn't seem to look right on the chair, so I looked the other way, as being sort of soothing to my feel ings, while 1 took 1t off the chair and laid it on the bed where it was at first. But, my land sakesi' says I, real scared, it's no better there. For, no matter whether it's on the chair or the bed, or under the pillow, how how could I have made up the bed without touching it?' And, my dear, 1 was so worried and perspiring that I felt as if I'd go plumb crazy for be- ing in such a fix. And the market man was changing his bell and Mrs. Todd was still calling fit to split her lungs, and me not wanting 'em to know where was, so I just snatched it up real sudden and stuck it away on the top shelf of the closet.
 And now, my dear said Miss Penelope, in a voice of utter woe, since I've been standing here such a terrible thought has come to me. Sup pose, just suppose, Phoebe, the gentle man boarder should come home and and-ask me if I moved itl''
 Moved what" demanded Phoebe
 Whats that2 Haven't I told you what it was? Land sakes, my dear, I clean forgot" Miss Penelope came closer and raised her hand to the side of her mouth to guard against the open window. If you'll promise to never let a soul know, I'll tell you,' she whispered, two unwonted spots of color burning in her cheeks. My dear, it was ait was-a-night shirti'- Chicago News.

FRATERNIZED

Politics makes queer combinations and strange bedfellows. Purifcation seems to be easily accomplished in the melting pot of the political foundry and what may have been the character Or the form of the material in the past, the change gives it an entirely new and shining dress. Past records and actions go for naught in the reformed condition. This is the way the Kan sas City Journal finds 1t:
 "Stubbs formerly called Henry Allen grafter, unfit to be on the board of charities.
 Allen said Stubbs beat him for congress by planting whiskey in strong Methodist communities in his (Allen's) name. Scott won, but neither Allen nor anybody else even suspected Scott of planting the whiskey. Stubbs and Allen ought to get together and agree who it was that planted the whiskey.
 "Murdock said of Roosevelt two years ago: That fakir will never dare to run again
 ;BTistow said that Long could not he the friend of the people because he was backed and befriended by Per- kns.
 Who would dare to print what Roosevelt said about Bristow when he fired him out of the postoffice depart ment? Or what Bristow whispered back?
 What family paper could print even in dashes and blanks what Le- land formerly said of Stubbs or the kind Of thief Stubbs said Leland was?
 But now these gentlemen are all bull moosers together. and no doubt acknowledge that they were misin- formed"
 Iris the same way in the east. The new movement is a great thing fol hrotherly love, even if there is nc other benefit to the cause.
