ILLIrERAcY BY COMPARISON.

Tliteracy is a condition which most countries are striving to eradicate and which in & number has been brought to a low ebb According to late re- ports from Germany, it is, on the face of the figures, very free from illiteracy, as but three in ten thousand cannot read or write, while in Great Britain it is 150 in ten thousand, and in this country ITO. Among the leading na- tlons this would seem to place the United States poor third. but the method of securing the statistics is &C., countable for that showing.
 In this country the figures on illit- eracy cover everyone over ten years of age In Great Britain the statistics are based on data secured wholly from
 official marriage registers, while in Germany only the army recruits are included It will, therefore, be seen that the figures for the three countries are by no means proper for compari- son, for in the two European countries they include only a portion of the adults, and in the case of Germany only the physically and mentally nor nal adults. Here the large foreign and colored population are responsible for most of the illiteracy, as in the native whites only three per cent. can- not read or write. In the past ten years the reports show that illiteracy has been reduced from 10.7 per cent Of the total population over the age of ten. to 7.7 per cent, which shows the good result of compulsory educa tion-

VOTING MACHINES AT LAST.

The voters in town meeting last night used good judgment in their ac- ton on the voting machines by decid- ing 1t was time that Norwich had them. Nothing brought about this sentiment among the voters so gener- ally, more than the present iniquitous ballot The determination that the voting hereafter shall be done by ma chimes insures the voter that when he goes 10 the polls, he can vote for who ever he likes and his vote will be counted and that he will not be de- prived of his right of suffrage by a misinterpretatiOn of his intentions It also means that the count will be so accurately and quickly made that the results will be known within few minutes after the close of the polls. All districts will be counted alike and barring the first cost according to the experience of other towns, the election expenses will be smaller. There is no question that voting by machine is the best method yet devised for simplicity, honesty, accuracy and economy.
 The selection of the type of machine to be secured Is task which the com nittee will doubtless consider thor oughly. Wherever machines have been turned down 1t has invariably been caused by the failure of that type of machine to do its work It thereforg means that the committee will be guided by the actual operating experi- ence of the various types and the tests which have been or can be made uu them. Norwich doesn't want to be the dog" but wants the best.

fame comes to the person who can always state the facts and figures ex- actly. He gets spoken of as being cocksure-as being a bore.
 Too many people say things to please companions which are deceptive. It is pleasant to be praised-it Is better to be loved but like tabasco sauce a lit
 tie of either goes a great ways. It is pleasant tto know we are capable of commanding the admiration of our friends, but not to be continuously admired. There are people who strive artfully to win their way by fattery but the fiatterer must have other uual- it1es to gain anything which resembles permanent success. It was Rochefou- cauid who pointed out that did We not hatter ourselves the fiattery of others could do us no harm. Fulsome datterv Is SO muoh easier than honest praise that 1t plays a larger part in the affairs of, men. To find ones self initiated is considered to be the most sincere flat tery. It Is well always to bear in mind that praise undeserved is satire in dis guise- Being too credulous in some directions is a manifest weakness. To speak to intimates of their superior points is fair-to speak of their faults brutal. We do not let those who are ] of great service to us know how much we appreciate them.

A DESERVING INSTITUTION.

The season is now approaching when the playgrounds which are to be opened this summer will be in steady use They are now to a certain extent hut with the closing of school and the placing of the equipment such as can be afforded on the grounds and the proper supervision arranged, big step has been taken for the welfare of the children There are few in- stitutions that are accomplishing a greater amount of good in the train- ing of children, and well organized and supervised open air sports ought tD be encouraged.
 The playground movement has ad- vanced far beyond the experimental stage It has firmly established itself wherever tried. meeting a long felt want in the guiding along wholesome lines of that instinctive love of physi- cal activity which dwells in the young. Tar better is it to guide 1t and train II properly than to allow it the wild freedom of the streets with its dan gers and bad influences.
 It is only proper that the city should take a participating interest in the movement and give 1t the small financial encouragement which will en- able it to be successful and establish itself permanently in the various sec ticns of the city. The attractive plans for the Lake street grounds will mean the combined efforts of several years before they can be completed, but when finished will not only. make a delightful recreation spot, but will re- move an eyesore by Identification. Il is something in which every citizen should be deeply interested.

CAREFULLY LAID PLANS.

Matters are shaping themselves well at the scene of the coming national republican convention. There is to be expected consternation in the Roose- welt following, and at the same time the Taft supporters in their confidence are not to be caught napp!nw. The bluff and buster of the ColorePs cam psign has subsided because fl ia au- parent that it can do no more harm. It has served its purpose to fool and wheedle the people
 The announcement of the choice of Senator Root for temporary chairman sounded the first note of dismay for the Roosevelt managers. It showed the osejointed organization to be weak and feeble, and the determination new to make Senator Root the perma l. uent chairman is following in the line -f good reasoning. He is fully capable handling the job and those who are s1quaintsd with him know that, f Iefl 70 him the convention will be fairly r-nducted. This planning Is along the -ume line As that in 1880 when the -..rd-term nomination of Grant was irreated.

 There are no more glorious battles on the pages of history than those that men and women are waging every day against the power of inbred sin. The process of winning manhood and wom- ann0od is one of the finest spectacles the sun shines on. It is d mighty tri- umph for one who comes from a race ol upplers to live sober. It is a splen- dld victory for one to shake off his fearful inheritance of sloth or lus+ ar greed or temper. They are the worlds real victors who are overcoming in this way.
 When the son of the notorious bandit Jesse James, beside supporting his wid- owed mother by years of hard and honest labor, can carry off the highest honors, summa cum laude. in a west ern law school. it is time for some of | us to stop wailing over our inherited | handlcaps and get to work. l Let 1t ever be remembered that en- | V4ronmeut is no less a power thsn | neredlty and that most men can choose | In this regard if they cannot choose | their ancestors. To beat a bad hered l ity Is at once a great task and a grea, chalienge. It is likewise an invitation 10 the profound joy Of rising mora lly superior, by the grace of God and one's | own endeavors, to forces that are able to drive us solidly on the rocks if wf give in to them.

Should Roosevelt Serve Third rsrrl

Should Roosevelt Serve Third Term
 There is no doubt that the item pub- lished in Fridays Bulletin (Aray 9D has hit the center of Roosevelt's ap- parent success. In New York the dan ger is evident to the people, because Roosevelt does not say that three terms are enough. If he has no state issues and he has none, he must be seeking the satisfaction of an ambi- ton that Is running wild. The one great question of this campaign-one greater than tariff revision or any question of state, no matter how i'm portant these issues Rre-is whether we shall put 1t in the hands of one am- bilious individual to destroy the inde- pendenee of the American people.
 1T Roosevelt is elected how will he destroy our independence? He will make 1t crime punishable by death If you or l should say one word against his policy or acts. He will needlessly involve the country in war, perhaps at a. time when We are not ready for it, and even if we should wIn all the bat ties, We would have less individual freedom than We have now. In order for a despot to rule, and rule well. he OLDeT ambitious individual who stands high CT than his comrades. Roosevelt will do this, not by restricting suffrage to it's present bounds, but by extending it to criminals or worse. to anyone who would pat himself upon the back and shout for demoagogue Roosevelt. It is dangerous to the liberty of every man in our country if Roosevelt is elected again.
 People in the last century realized the danger of long terms of service for ambitious men like Roosevelt. Wash
 ington saw it. and was so far sighted
 that he tried to prevent just what has now happened. When he established the two term tradition he tried to
 make it impossible for any huaorab ble

 king. or by gaining some equivalent
 title and power,

 Travellers along the old road lead ing from Brownsville to Middleridge often exelaim over the tall. shapely pine tree, which still stands like a sen tinel on guard in the dooryard of a comfortable-looking, modern dwelling about two miles from Brownsville center. But the old tree could tell you of the time when an old, grey, weather beaten farmhouse stood where you now see the more pretentious dwelling of now-a days.
 I'll tell you the story as the pine tree whispered 1t to me one day when l lay stretched out in the shade of It's branches and inhaled It's delightful Fragrance as the sun shone upon the fresh green tassels with which It's branches were tipped A long tramp along the dusty road made a, rest under the tree a great pleasure, and that alone would have repaid me for the delay, had not the tree entertained me with its life interwoven, as it was, with the lives of the inmates of the old farmhouse.
 Many, many years have I been here" murmured the tree" and though trees do not roam about like human folk, they are close observers of what comes into their range of vision, and have plenty of time to ponder the facts they observe, so we can often recall events which men forget. 1 have grown tall and broad with the passing years but once l was a slender pine sapling which needed care and protection Then there dwelt in the old farmhouse contented. happy little woman, whose proud husband brought her here as "a fnz keeper for whose welfare he labored early and late.
