BATTERED "BOB."

 In the-last Republican state con ventien MT. George Allen of Middle town was relegated to the political rear Wednesday night Col. Robert O. Eaton of North Haven received a de hicb Tlhiyf Wa9plng 5g hts own
 Messrs. Allen and Eaton are mem bers of the same political school: School. They are part and parcel of a coterie of politicians whose influence is on the wane for reasons which they are apparently too dense to compre- hend. The handwriting has been written large upon their political walls for some time, but like Belshaz- gar of old, neither MT. Eaton nor all his sooth-sayerS have been able to in- terpret it's meaning. Like a bolt ton to the Hon. Robert that he no longer commands even the f203- litical fortunes He has been beat en where he thought he was invinci- ble. He has been cleaned out in his own baliwick, and nd he cries now like
 Now see what you've gone and done" he bawls. ''Ullman and Is- bell did it,, he howls. No, Robert. you yourself did it; you with your spirit of these times and the new tenn per of the proletariate toward you it. Robert, because they have had enough of the sort of politics you have played.
 We have no knowledge as to wheth- this business, but if they did, they engaged in a mighty good days work and are fully justified in confessing to Col Eaton's soft Impeachment, Bob" Eaton has never spared the po- litical feelings of Col. Ullnan or Ma jor IsbeH or anybody else so far as we are aware. Personally. he is a jolly good fellow, but politically he has been a pirate with the yellow building flag at the masthead He has engaged in politics for his own and private interests and he should not kick now that the people, wise at last to his game, have given him the political lambasting he has so long deserved.
 by to certain interests like MT. Ali lens has been predicated upon his presumptive strength in the Eth sen atorial and other districts. The bub- rudely pricked. It remains to be seen now how long MT. Eaton will continue to shine as a member of the third house at Hartford
 In the meantime, he holds a high federal office even though grossly vio- lating the rule which forbids perni- cious political activity. When the tides of November roll around, and the United States, Col. Eaton in a few months thereafter will be pried loose from this lucrative federal post of influence. He can then go back to the farm and mediate upon the fortunes and rnisfortunes of a politi- cal career dedicated to himself and certain special interests. He may then realize that the day has at last dawned when the people are demand ing leaders in political life who rep resent public rather than private in- terests He may then understand the words so long written on his po- Iitical wall.

tured goods alone. As the tariff a1s1 adds something to the cost of fruits, vegeta bles, farm products and other goods consumed in -unmanufac- tured form. it seems reasona ble to say that, estimated in this way, the tariff adds about $11.5 a year per family to the cost of living. These are the approximate figures arrived at by taking the detailed estimates of the cost of the tariff upon all the more important items of consumption. These we will now proceed to make, though it is unnecessary for us to take space in this book to show in detail, how each cost was worked out.

FIRST THINGS

The first woman in England to attain prominence through the advocacy of political suffrage for women was Mary Wollstonecraft 6Mrs. Godwin), }, whose great work The Rights of Women, is still considered by many suffragists to be the bible of the cause. Mrs Woolstonecraft 115 years ago to- day, after a busy life devoted to plead ing the cause of her sex. Living in an age of revolution, she was profoundly affected by the works of the French republicans and an ardent adrnirer of Thomas Paine, the American writer. It was Paine's Rights of Man that gave her the idea. for ''The Rights of Woman" She also wrote a ''Vindica- tion of the Rights of Man, in answer to Burkes attack on Paine's work The pioneer suffragist advocated the eXtremest freedom for women, hold that the marriage ceremony should be abolished and that marriage eilould cease with the cessation of sympa- thy between the parties. The daugh- ter of Mrs Wollstonecraft became the wife of the poet Shelley.

MAJORITY RULE

The Democratic principle of ma jority rule has been widely applied through Connecticut, in the recent primaries. In Hartfofd, where the delegate ticket favorable to Augustine Lonergan for Dem ocratic nominee for Congress was victorious. the conven- tion stood 45 to 55. The majority filled every delegation and nominated to every office.
 In Danbury the same rule was fol- lowed. It is the rule followed every where.
 It appears that in Bridgeport the minority were treated with unusual generosity.

 Since the amendment was passed, largely through the efforts of Mrs. Clara B. Amscher. of Detroit and Mrs. Huntley Russell. of Grand Rap ids. respectively president and vice president of the state society, the women of Michigan have been per- fecting branches of their organization. In the large cities, each ward has it's leader and all the precincts have spe- cial workers. At Grand Rapids, there is well organized and thoroughly equipped speakers bureau.
 For month suffragist spellbind CTS have made street speeches in Detroit from automobiles. Other workers have visited the factory districts at luncF. time and at night.

TARIFF AND COST OF LIVING

Exactly how much the tariff in creases prices and the cost of living in this country is not known. Esti- mates can be made in several ways. According to the conclusions reach Er by the English Board of Trade
 shich investigated the subject care fully, in 1909. the cost of food, heat ing and lighting for a workiugman' s family is SS per cent. higher in this country than it is in free trade Eng land and IS per cent. higher than it is in protected" Germany of France. Assuming (what we will later sow is fair estimate9 that the average family in this country spends about s1,1OO year it is evident that-taking the cost of food. fuel and lighting as a basis-it would cost this family but $500 year to live in England. Here is a difference of $500 year per Family or ss6. .eoo.oo o. 900 for the 2o,- poo. 900 families in continental United States. If we cannot charge this diff ference to the tariff to what can we fairly charge it? Except for the tariff It is not easy to find any other i'm -portant difference between this coun- try and England to explain this great difference in the cost of living. In sact.aswith our unrivalled opportuni- sies for producing food and fuel, the cost of living should be cheaper in shis country than in England. How ever as taere may be other factors than the tariff (although we think 1t -riII puzzle the protectionists to find them) to account for the higher cost Of living in the United States than in England, we shall not use this esti- mate.
 Another estimate is based upon what appears to be the average diff ference between export and domestic prices for our own manufactured pro- ducts now. This average difference appears to be about 1 5 per cent. As our total consumption of manufac- lured good is about 100000, in a year. 1t is apparent that if we could purchase these goods of our manu- factarers at the same prices charged to foreigners. we would save s2,1OO,- 100000 a year. But for the tariff we would get our manufactured goods at practically export prices and would rave fully $100 family on manufac-

MOBILES BATTLE DAY.

 If there was any one occurrence of which the north and the south should both be proud it was the. fight in Mobile Bay in August, 1864, for it was here that Farragut, by repeat ing the bravery that he had display ed at New Orleans, won once more for himself and his ships everlasting fame. But conditions had altered; the day of the iron-cIad had come and Farragut's fleet, which was CO., operating with Gen. Gordon Granger in the. reduction of Mobile, was com posed, besides the wooden ships, of a strong hotilla of monitors, and the Confederates possessed the ironclad ram Tennessee, that steamed out with little fleet of harbor boats on Au- gust 5, to meet overwhelming odds and at last, defeated but undisgraced to lower her flag.

 The trend of the independent press is shown by the announcement of the Syracuse Herald that it will support Woodrow Wilson for the Presidency we have formed this resolution, ' says The Herald, tfafter a careful com parison of the rival candidates. =, In our judgment the old party desig- nations have lost much of their for mer significance in this canvass. We need waste no time, therefore, with any retrospective comparisons of the records and principles of the Dem ocratic and Republican parties, and may concern ourselves now, as ali thoughtful citizens should, with the candidates and issues.''

LATEST TRAP FOR MOTORISTS
 Providence JournaL1

A new terror for the speed maniac is discovered in an ordinance pro- posed in the Los Angeles City Coun- ci1. Some genius has so contrived that the rate a motor car is going may be self-exposed by co1ored lights: These can be made to flare accordin s to the local statute regulating speed. White will show on the car when go- inf, say, eight miles an hour; green at 15 miles; red at 20; and two of the lights, or all three, will flare as the speed increases beyond the maxi mum allowed. There will be no need of traps and stop watches with such a tell-taie device to inform the police man stroIIing his beat.

OIL COMPANY PROSPECTING
 MARTIN RIVER DISTRICT

Alaska as a point of gold pro ductinn, as d field for coal min ing, is well understood by Seat tle," said 0. l.. WillOughby, late superintendent of the Analga- ated Development company Of Puget Sound, operating in Alaska, recently in the seattle hotel.
 But Alaska as point of pro- duction of crude oil, and as a manufacturing point for gasO- line, is something not at all re- allZcd by the individual Seattle man. Yet nine years ago the company with which was re- gently connected began it's oil np- erations. It started five wells. There were various vicissiludes It is still working. It is now manufacturing 300 gallons of gasoline daily. Already slncc the opening of the season it has made three shipments to Alaska points. The company supplies the mar kets of Valdez, Cordova and Sew ard. IL gets i9 per cent. of a G8 gravity gasoline out of the crude oil. Encouraged by it's re- cent success, it has just started another well, which is now down lI5 feet.
