T4e pLAYeRouNp MovEMENT.

By the arrangements made through the Norwich Fairgrounds association, which is back of the efforts to give Norwich the proper plsygrounds for the children, the plan which was sue cessfully carried out last summer will be continued this year during the long vacation. This is a movement which is countrywide in it's application and the big cities in particular are de- voting vast sums of money to carry out the details of the idea. It Is prov ing a great benefit to the health of the children, in their physical devel- opment and likewise mentally, for the spirit of play which Is fostered, is a great developer of mind and body.
 The association is working through the contribution of it's members to maintain six grounds the coming sum- mer, equipped with boxes of sand and swings. Il is a worthy cause and one in which organizations will have the privilege of contributing for the addi- tional apparatus equipment. An i'm portant feature of the grounds is that there shall be proper supervision and in this particular efforts to make this more uniform is the intention this year.
 So strong has become the sentiment for the playgrounds in Cleveland O., that the chamber of commerce has rec commended the issuance of milli'N dollars in bonds with the proceeds from three quarters of which to be used in constructing two vast play grounds for the entire year, day and night use

NO COMPROMISE CANDIDATE.

The talk of a third candidate in the republican national convention. or the dropping of both Test and Roosevelt, simply because Roosevelt received a big vote in Illinois. and is. at the pame time. known to be fighting in a hopeless cause. has all emanated from Roosevelt sources. though the ex-pres- ident maintains he will win and that there'il be no compromise Never have the friends of the president wavered in their allegiance to him or been dis coura ged by the action of the voters fin one or two states. The republicans Of the country at large, barring some of the radicals. have implicit conf dence in their belief that President Taft will receive the nomination and have the opportunity to vindicate the principles of representative govern ment that inc stands for. The aim of the Roosevelt campaign has been dou- ble-barreled. Roosevelt is sincere in his desire for the nomination and cleo tion. but he has made it plain that if he cant get it he is equally sincere in hls ambition that Taft shall not get it. AAAH AH W AAdA lAeH oAlAltu uD lut AHllA- randidate talk, and the mention of the name of Charles Hughes, associate Justice Of the supreme court The fu- blity of such course is apparent, Justice Hughes is a friend of the pres idenl and 1t is not believed he would accept any such offer He is an ardent Supporter of the president and believes that the judiciary should be kept out pt roltics, one of the principles at htsEe in this campaign.
 T here is not the least ground for Alk of a dark horse. Taft has just Ds many delegates as was expected by Ais managers at this time. and he is taining them every day, which is one lf the best arguments against a com promise candidate. Kentucky and Michigan have both gone for Taft, despits the contests and cries of fraud, and there are many more which will go without any contest whatever to Ewell tho strength of the Taft forces in their stand for progress to real pop Hlar government toward greater equality of opportunity and greater happiness of the individual

CONNECTICUT SURE FOR TAFT.

Much in contrast with the state convention in Michigan will be the Connecticut republican convention at New Haven next Tuesday and Wed nesday, when the delegates will be elected for the national convention. There are 5S6 delegates to the con vention and, different from d number of other states, Connecticut holds it's district and state conventions at the same time and place. Other states in many instances hold these conventions separately but Connecticut winds them up all at once.
 There is no doubt as to the com Elexion of the delegation which will be chosen from this state From cor ner to corner it is for the president. and there is not the least indication that any thing but a Taft delegation will be selected by state and district conventions. While the delegates have not been instructed in a majority of caucuses, yet the feeling of the bodies which elected them was that they would be for Taft. first last and all the time, and there they will be found next week Very few. if any, will favor candidate other than Taft.
 There has been some sentiment talk ing shape in the caucuses, which will tend to cause some contention over state central committeeman through out the state but that will only be a regular and expected occurrence.
 National Committeeman Brooker of this state, who is on his way home from a southern trip. says the twelve votes from this state will be for the president, and he speaks from good advice. Th"ve is not the least reason 10 believe there will be any voice heard against the president

HE HOME RULE BILL.

Parliament is again concerned with the home rule bill for Ireland, and there are varying criticisms as to it's merits, but the chances of it's passage seem better than on the previous oc- casions when it has stirred Great Brit ain. The Irish nationalists under Red mond have served to show the Eng lishmen that they are sincere and that suspicion of loyalty should cease. It was that attitude which in 1886 and 1893 worked prominently for the de- feat of the bill. In the first bill in troduced by MT Gladstone, the ex- clusion of the Irish from representa- tion made void the union. and in the second bill the fact that Englishmen could not take part in Irish legtsla- ton, but Irishmen could participate in legislation for England. was the cause of the defeat.
 In the present bill there is a vari ance of opinion among the leaders as to the provisions both as to funds and as to Ulster county. It, however, shows that liberals have made the most progress in many years to settle the Irish question. There are limita- tions in the present bill different from previous measures which give it a more liberal support and the better outlook. While it has no Gladstone 10 back it. there will be many others, such as Redmond and Dillon, with the union and Ulster opposition coming strong. By the bill, Ireland will have parliament to make laws for it's government, but the army and navy will not be affected, there will be no hand in imperial affairs, and religious freedom in the fullest sense is pro- Vided

(Written Specially for The Bulletin)
 Easter was past and gone, but the gladness of it's joy was still reflected in Myrtle Wyman's face as she start ed out on a bright morning not long after Easter, for some necessary but long delayed shopping With her the joy of the great festival had been the outcome of the meditation and self niaI of the preceding weeks, for she WAS a deyout church woman, whose worship was sincere, and few indeed were the Lenten privileges which she had allowed to pass unimproved. She had followed with true penitent heart and lively faith the course laid out by the church services and Easter morn ing found her delight in her risen Lord correspondingly great. This nap piness was still hers, and the serenity of her quiet life oVerfiowed in Kind thoughts and deeds for others.
 Her brisk, elastic step soon brought her to her destination, one of the de- partment stores of her home city. Just outside the entrance to the store she met Mrs. Merton, an acquaintance or long standing whose greeting was cordial, for Myrtle was favorite with young and old.
 ] Mertons countenance was in striking contrast to Myrtle's serenity.
 Well Myrtle" she exclaimed, you look as if you hadn't a care in the world I am glad Easter is over, aren't you? I have been so busy for the past week or two that it seems a relief to feel at liberty once more. With my four children and myself to fit out for Easter I've hardly had a quiet moment to myself. The children all had to have new suits and hats for last Sunday, and l had to content my self with new hat and gloves. Mothers learn to deny themselves for their children's sake. Of course there are your nephews and nieces to be looked after, but you somehow haven't worn yourself out as l have. 1 try so hard to make the children look nice. Some people don't mind. l suppose you are going to the store. 1 am, too, but shall not do much shopping today, can tell you, for l am too dragged out with all I have done. Why, scarcely went near the church during all of Lent. Of course, I gave up my card parties, but I joined a private dancing class, and that took a good deal of my time. Perhaps we shall meet again, since we are both going about the store"
 The friends separated, Myrtle hay ing had little opportunity of replying, for Mrs. Merton was one of those talk CTS who need only a listener to make a conversation. The quiet smile on Myrtles face had faded a little at the implied neglect of her nieces and nephews, but she knew the reprOach was undeserved, and that the chil- dren under her charge since the death of their mother, were happy in her loving care and felt no lack of atten- ton to all their needs in dress or oth- erWise.
 She put aside all thoughts of criticism and went on her way about the store. At one counter after an other she paused for purchases, her

Prepostsrous Questioning.

T thought you said when you got your second divorce that you would never marry again?"
 T know I did"
 But you say now that you are going to marry that rich widow"
 True, but you will remember that I made that announcement two years ago. What I meant when I said that I would never marry again was that l would not marry during that year"
 But you promised the judge that you would never marry again."
 Don't be unreasonable. I couldn't promise that. How could I foresee the conditions that might arise to induce me once more to march to the altar? Those conditions have arisen in the form of a charming and wealthy wid- ow. Would it be fair or just if I were to allow this wealthy widow to live a life of loneliness and sadness because of statement I made two years ago. and by no stretch of reason could be interpreted as applying to the present timer"
 Then if you marry for the third time, you may decide later on to take even fourth or fifth wife?"
 That question is too preposterous and silly for me to discuss. ."-Detroit Free Press
