:vba fi1lI lefter fe Senator Clapp of ths investieafing committee of the senate, from Colonel Roosevelt has been made public. 1t offers nothing new in aadItIon to what has already been stated, theugh It is more vol uhainous. He carries the belief thai it was perfectly proper to accept the Steel trust contribution, and aSaln ne |is not sure that Treasurer Bliss dia not receive the Standard oil contr1- butions That none was received rom the trust he maintains. because aKteF he had heard that it was received ne urged that 1t be returned. That. ne urged it ia be returned and did not take steps to see-that it was done, out of subsequent funds. does not exonerate him. buf 1t might lead to the impress sloa that hs was pursuing proper course. There was method in sendlns such ( communication and making II ,subffe. How anxious he is to get the people off the part he played in the matter and throw fi1e blame over on Penroce is evidenced by the persisten cy with which he keeps the Penrose part of the affair to the front.
 Tde letter did not give any new and startling disclosures, such as would
 make 1t unnecessary to close the hear ing. Far from 1t The demand is now that tie co1dnnfttee get down to busi Z ness as soon as it can and get the facts. The Steel trust receipt has been found and shows that one big corpor- agfon made 4f least one cohtriDutiofls This was kept from the public, and so was the fact that the insurance com panies were being bled for the support of Roosevelt; and also the quarter mil Hon contribution of 2.

prosecution. It gives hin no sag- gestions us to how he may make his milk come up to that standard, and, if he unwittfngly breaks the law he is arrested, and. instead of being given nominal fins as man should be for an unIntemfienal first offense, he is fined the same as though he had purposeIy aduiterated his milk. Many of those farmers who were fined do not make $z0 year profit on their whole herd And the farmer is not allowed to obtain any evidence with which to defend himself The sam pie of milk is taken without his knoWl- edge, and he is not furnished any sam ple Of 1t which he may have tested. He is not informed for four months that his milk was atisfactory 1t is ten months before he is haled into court, and he is absolutely without any evidence as to the quality of the milk of which the sample was taken ten months before.

WILse5Ns slEENcE.

h pushing his candidacy for the honor of president before the people of 0th6 United States, Goyefnor Wilson has made a wise decision in not go- ins on the stump for q long list of political speeches. This is wise from the viewpoint of his own good, for when 1t comes to being a stump speak, CT it requires a man who can stand the voiley of pertinent questions which is apt to be fired, and explain the situ- ations away There has been no par ticuI4r magnetic dualities shown by the democratic candidate yet, and he is bound to tread narrow path to keep off dangerous ground, for he has not always been in politics and has not guarded his actions as a politician would in that respect
 There could be many embarrassing questions put to the democratic stan dard bearer Aside from his tariff views, which. in accordance with the party platform. means the abolition of the tariff except for revenue. the work fngfDen have particularly strong grievance from the views of the candx- date as expressed in his books wherein he deals with them. To be confronted with questions as to his attitude in that regard would mean that he must speHer them or ignore thems To Sd into explanations might result in q sosnefsauIt ike Roosevelt did on the reciprocity question. or 1t might only serve to assravats the situation. si- lence is golden when the dangers of s political campaign are concerned. and Woodrow Wilson in keeping out of tho fray takes no chances when he leaves the stumping to his hench1nef1.

IDEAS or A PLAIN MAN
THE aUILL-TuBE VERSUS THE.
 GUN-TURE.

Every writing person should at least once month solemniy set apart one day to expose the folly and denounce the crime of war.
 It is amazing that such an institg- ton, without one rootlet in reason. drawing it's sustenance wholly from the most bestial of human passion, should go on cumbering the earth.
 No modern congress of nations could possibly invent such horrid method of settling disputes. It's existence IS the most devilish tax the past lays on the present.
 The greatest of battles is that silent battle going on daily between the men of the quill and the men of the gun.
 Speaking of war, an English writer of the last century said: And then this little tube. the goose-quili. has sent it's silent shots into your huge anatomy; and the corroding ink Is eating with a tooth of iron into your sword, even whilst you look at 1t and think 1t shines so brightly"

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
WHAT HIS WIFE WEARS

T am going to offer a prize, said the woman who had the floor, to any one who win take my husband of and sequester him by threat, main force or guile long enough for me to buy a spring and summer wardrobe. It is absolutely impossible to do it so long as lie remains at large.
 When I married John had no idea he was so fussys think spoiled him by unwisely complimenting his good taste and judgment in regard to clothes, and he got conceIted about it. He shouldn't have taken me seriously, for woman has a right to say any thing nice to a man that comes into her head when she is trying to ensnare him into Tnatrimony If he played the game fair he would charge all her compliments up to profit and loss and use common sense after he was mar ried, just as a woman does-but men are so foolish.

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR
The Prosecutsd Farmers.

MT. Bdifor:: Sixty-ono farmers in eastern Connecticut have recently been arrested and made to appear before Judge P1att in the United States court at Hartford on the charge of shipping milk to Providence that did not come up to the United States pure food standard
 This attack on the farnasrs is said to have been instigated by Milk In- Bpector Scott of Prevalence The farmers had already been put to and in other ways trying to conform to the requirements of Inspector Scott, If the milk in some cases was still un- satisfactory, the remedy was entirely in his hands. He has the power to stop dealers from handling any milk that he thinks is unfit for sale. There was no need of his setting Uncle Sam on the farmers.
 Of the fa1ners who appeared be- fore the court In Hartford majority were charged with having filth in their milk. Now nc man believes that those farmers purposely put filth in their milk. They make product that they are willing to drink them selves. Some of them stated that their mtlk had never been com plained of and that they were making the best milk that they knew how to make. But these people received no
 more consideration at the hands of | the court, no lighter fines, than those who were accused of purposely adul- lterating their milk No evidence was | produced in court against any of the | accused; the judge would listen to no | argument in their behalf. All that | they could do was to keep still and | pay their $40 fine. or to demand a trial. Now, the average farmer has not feel that he can afford to fight the United States. so the most of them chose the quickest and cheaoest way
 out, and innocent and guilty alike | pleaded 'nolo contendre," and paid their fines. Of the few who wished to contest the matter the judge
 warned sop:e that if they changed | their plea later or the case went against them. they need not expect to l get off with as light fine as $40. Is
 it right and just that man who be-
 lieves he is unjustly accused ani tries to defend himself should be
 threatened by the judge with a feav- fer fine for so doing?
 We never shall have perfectly pure milk as long as we get it from its l present soairce, When they learn to make t in the laboratories we may
 have it pure. But now. more or less
 dirt is liable to lodge under the hair and in the tails of the cows and to be
 disfogsd during milking. Some dife
 is liable to be blown in. I wish some
 of the experts from the pure food lab-
 orato,iee would come out in the eoun-
 try and try to manufacture pure milk
 for three or four cents a quart, They
 wouH have a truer appreciation Of the
 diffieuities} }ef the business,

 "so long as that dress was in the house John was nervous, amused and

 l sent the hat back.
 Then sat down in front of John, and by painstaking labor extracted from him the description of the kind of clothes he would like to see me in. He said he liked taifory things with shirt waists that had collars and cuffs -Atheyve been oEt for five years, you know and sailor hats. John said that nothing on earth looked SC trim and stylish as perfectly plain sailor hat. what would they do to me at fash ionable tea if I appeared in such gar ments?
 sOh. no. I didn't ask John that Any how was in luck. because know one woman whose husband wants evcry- thing she buys to be red He says red books SO cheerful John ls bad enough, though I've made my mind up 1 to stop worrying and buy clothes any ! how.

PICKING JURY In

New York, Oct. S.-The selection Of
a jury to try Charles Becker in con
nection with the Rosenthal murder
was continued today
Out Of IA examined from the special
panel OF $50 talesmen called for jury
duty, only one juror had been chosen
when the first days session closed.
He was Harold B Skinner, an electri-
cal engineer
OF the other 1s talesmen three were
peremptorily challenged by the state
and four by the defense, Becker him
self instructing his counsel, John F.

each case. The others were disquali-
fled by the court for bias or upon chal-
lenges for cause by counsel The ex-
animation progressed SO slowly that

threatened to hold night sessions If the
jury was not picked by o'clock Tues
day. One Of the peremptory chal-
.lenges OF the prosecution was exer-
cised on the first talesman called after
he had said that he was a former mem.
Der Of the police force. In nearly
every case talesmen acknowledged
that they had formed opinions on the
case from reading the newspapers and
those who we're disqualified declared
that their opinions would influence
their verdict.
That Mecker had lost weight as the
result or his two months confinement
in the Tombs was apparent to those
