HE MAIN CONSIDERATION.

1t is reported that recent confer ence of republicans at Hartford dis- cussed the gubernatorial possibilities of the party and among the names mentioned and believed te have a strong following were those of Michael Kenealy of Stamford and Judge Stud ley of New Haven.
 MT. Kenealy, when approached on the subject by a representative of the Stamford Advocate. said simply this;
 T am not candidate for any politi- cal office. I am practicing law and cannot find time for anything else al present"
 Judge Studley, facing the situation pleaded that he was not financially able 10 conduct a satisfactory cam paign.
 Lieut.. Governor Blakeslee is will ing candidate, but there is an open question as to his ability to command the full strength of the republican party of Connecticut
 The popularity and strength of Judge Studley in New Haven makes him the ideal figure, but he shrinks 1 from the costs or the campaign WHICH by present political methods requires small fortune.
 1 Pity it is that political candidates for governor of Massachusetts have to expend from $25.OOO to $S5,OOO, and in Connecticut any sum from $1O,ceO up to make a satisfactory or successful campaign.
 The main consideration and draw | back to political preferment today is the amount of lubricant it takes tc keep the political wheels whirling.

RiIIiela Fourth of JuIy.

Come along" urged Billie's father as Billie stopped to gaze at the fire works displayed in a shop window.
 But mayn't have one little bit?' pleaded Billie.
 'No," said Billie's father, T haven money to waste on such things.
 When Billie reached home he had a plan by which to get the money for some fireworks.
 He could play few pieces on the violin and taking it from it's case he started out At the end of five min utes he had taken in a quarter when, noticing a shop on the other side of the street where fireworks were sold, he started to cross to it when he was run down by an automobile and was picked up unconscious.
 When he became conscious he was in a little white bed in a hospital and his mother and father were at his bed side.
 Billie looked up at them and said: Please don't be angry with me for breaking the violin, for l could not helI it."
 They were not angry and the next | year Billie's father had money tc waste on such things" and Billie did not have to earn the money for his l fireworks.

How Many Thinns

Seems to me I'm always doing things for mother" grumbled Jack, when she asked him to water the plants. I've done lots of things this morning."
 How many things?' asked Aunt Amy.
 "Oh, went on an errand and I fed the chickens. There's always so much to do on Saturday, and now those plants"
 How many things has mother done for you today? Suppose you make a list
 T will" said Jack. He brought it later, saying: Really, I didn't think it would count up so. Aunt Amy" The list read like this: Found my collar; sewed on a button; got me a shoestring; wrote a note to see if Tom could come over; got a silver out of my finger: got a knot out of my kite string; found my fishing tackle; made me some glue; showed me about an example; fixed my hatband; found some nails for my shelf, and helped fix it.
 T lost count there," said Jack.

How Jim eot the Job.

Only a month ago a boy of twenty walked down a street in Norwich, looking for situation. He walked into a large department store and asked if they needed a boy.
 The head man asked him what kind of work he could do.
 The boy replied: Nothing. I have never been used to hard work, but l will do what you tell me-"
 How much pay do you want?" ask ed the boss.
 The boy looked with downcast eyes and replied: T suppose I'm not worth much now, just starting in, but I will take what you give me-" The lad showed so much principle that the man took him at once. Afterwards the boss told the lads father that he didn't need any boy al l that time. but could not afford to miss such a good boy as his son, Jim | It is great in these days to have first l class workmen. Real honest boys are the boys we want now. Someone we can trust.
 | If you be that way you might meet with some good man who will lead 1 you on in his business. | JULIA E. DONOVAN, Age Il.

HE WAY OF HE NEW pARrx.

THE WAY OF THE NEW PARTY.
 The new party is more progressive in it's professions than in it's manners. It undertakes the old parties. but seems glad to gather to it's standard many well known men who never con- tributed anything of worth to the parties they are leaving-who are in politics solely for what there is in it for them. How different they be from their leader. who is simply willing to sacrifice himself that the people may rule.
 In it's methods of making claims the bun moose party is very old fashioned. It even claims 1t will carry Connecti- cut when every sane man in the state knows such an achievement is neither probable nor possible with the tardy organization they are making They make much of the fact that Herbert Knox Smith and others have deserted the administration, but do not lisp the fact that of the seven original govern ors who convinced Roosevelt that the people wanted him, not a republican is left. Stubbs of Kansas and John son Of California are not republicans. Its programme of vituperation and misrepresentation is of the same quail fly as that which characterized An drew Jacksons day.
 The bull moose party makes great pretences; but hot-air platforms are ss ancient as the "one- horse shay" 1. and political prevaricators as old as politics. It has nothing to stand upon but good promises and the devil was dealing in them two thousand years ago.
 when analysed there is really noth- ing very new about the party, for Mir Roosevelt, if elected could only be a secondhand president
 As to the strength of the party, il is Roosevelt's strength, and it has beer well said if the Colonel should die to- day the new party would be buried In the same sepulchre with him.

Willie and the Cow.

Dear Uncle Jed: One day little Willie came in from play very pale. This was not often the case. Almost always he is very red His mother saw that he had done something which troubled him. He always came and told her when he did what he thought was wrong. So she waited and said noth- ing.
 Willie sat on a stool by his mother. She was sewing and Willie was very pale and silent. After while he could not keep the secret to himself any longer His mother knew that he could not.
 Mother said he, some other boys and I drove a COW into the river. Will she get drowned?"
 The secret was out. When he learn- ed that he had done no harm he was very happy
 His mother was glad that he never did wrong without telling her.
 Boys and girls should always make friend and confident of their mother. Your little niece, MARGARET O'CONNELL, Age 10. Norwich.

AN OPEN DOOR FOR COLONEL
 BRYAN.

There was a time when Woodruff Wilson wanted "Bryanism knocked into a cooked hat" and now he stands with Bryanism as his only hold and hope.
 Colonel Bryan at Baltimore showed tho country that he held more of the democratic party in his grasp than any other man. He dominated the convention. is said to have converted Mir. Wilson to his own view of mat ters wrote the platform on which Wilson stands and made him the nominee.
 As the representative of the domi- nant spirit of the democratic party, Colonel Bryan may be expected to be the star campaign orator for Wilson, and if the democrats win, the door Of opportunity will stand wide open for him to become a part of the ad- ministration and 1t is no dream to suspect he may be headed for the office of secretary of state.
 When 1t comes to bosses it is said Wilson and B-yan are a strong pair if they pull together; but will they harmonize? Bryan has had his tilts with Ryan and Belmont and Waiter son; and Wilson has had his with Harvey and Clark and Watterson. II will be interesting 10 see the two try ing to draw even in the same political yoke.
 We hardly think that Colonel Bryan would measure up to the standard of his predecessors as secretary of state lf his party wins. he seems to be in a position to demand any portfolio in the gift of Wilson.

Two Little Friends.

There are quite a few trees in my yard and every year some birds build nests in them.
 I have noticed one bird and its mate which I do not know. They come to my garden and pick up things which they think are useful. I throw crumbs to them, and after they have finished they fly up into a tree and sing to me. Some mornings they come to my window and sing.
 The male bird comes quite close to me. but if I make a noise he will fly away. His song Is soft, but grows louder. He used to come alone but now brings his mate.
 l was walking by the tree one day and on the ground was a little baby bird with the mother and father around it. I picked it up and brought 1t to the nest. Not long after that l climbed up the tree and looked in the nest and right in the center was a quarter woven in with the other ma terial. The birds have departed and have not seen them for two weeks.

ANALYSIS OF A FRIEND AND AN
 OPPONENT.

In the days when Colonel Harvey saw in Woodrow Wilson a presiden- tial Possibility, and he was the first to name him for presidential honors, he ventured to make a contrast of the characteristics of his friend and of his political opponent His analysis of Taft furnishes good reading for repub- ucans and certainly furnishes nothing attractive enough to call them away from their party. Colonel Harvey's analyses were as follows:
 Taft is robust, prudent genial grateful, compassionate, sweet, capa cious, tolerant. conciliatory, earnest judicial, progressive. pure and con- stant
 Wilson is 1.-the, daring. graceful. just tenacious, jealous, imaginative, self reliant uncompromising, persuasive analytical, radical, luminous and inn movable.
 This leaves no doubt President Taft is a good chief executive to tie to.
 Later on, Colonel Harvey's enemies in the party induced Mir. Wilson tc request him to withhold his advocacy of him. as he regarded it as more of q hindrance than a help.
 Colonel Harvey called Taft a Mo- Kinley republican" and Wilson "a Til den democrat; but in reality Taft ii imbued with the progressive spirit oi Roosevelt, and Wilson has accepted the dictum of Bryan. which Samue Tilden would never have done.
 We must admit, though, that Col. onel Harvey was fair and honorabl, in his estimate of the present chic, executive.

A COAL INVESTIGATION.

It Is very gratifying to the people to note that congress has instructed the department of commerce and labor to investigate and report the facts about the recent increase and present high price Of coal
 As near as can be estimated the in crease in wages allowed to the miners in the spring aggregated s5,00O,0OO, while the Increase to the consumers has been S15.0OO.0O0 for coal not so carefully graded and culled of slate as it was when coal was selling for forty per cent less than 1t is today.
 It Is desirable that the government authorities should visit the mining re- zion and see If the culm- piles are be- ing mixed in with commercial coal at present high prices and the people of the rouBtry being defrauded out of millions.
 All consumers of coal know that since the great strike of six years ago the quality of the coal has grown poorer and poorer until now a large proportion of it is worthless stuff.
 It has been stated that the miners receive about 62 1-2 cents a ton for getting out the fuel and from this they pay for their own oil and ex- piosives The price of a ton of coal in this part of the country today rep resents the mining cost at the mines if this report Is true. of 12 tons. and it would be interesting to know how the price is forced up so.
 There Is no way for the people tC free themselves from extortion, and | Is proper that the government should discover and disclose to the people whC their oppressors be.
 Publicity win help cure extortion O. an sorts.

AIlos and Eddie,s Partu.

Eddie Kent was visiting his cousin, Alice Hays of Denver. Eddie's birth day came on the same day as Alice's. Mrs. Hays thought she would have a party for Alice and Eddie in honor of their tenth birthday.
 Mrs. Hays kept it a secret and sent out invitations for surprise party on the sixth of June.
 On the evening of June 6 the chil- dren that Mrs. Hays sent the invi- tions to came and surprised Eddie and Alice. During the evening they played games and Alice and Eddie decided to have some music. Alice played the piano and Eddie the violin. When they finished, dainty refreshments were served. At half-past ten the children said: Good night to host and hostess"

THE WIDE AWAKE CIRCLE
Boys and Girls Department

did not seem to be afraid and went on never thinking that they might lose their way, for they were sure they could find the way back easy enough. Pretty soon Katy was startled by hearing two people disputing. l One was saying, Katy did" the oth- I CT Katy didn't" Then she thought how she had persuaded Will to come and in her heart she thought the first was right.
 They wandered along a little way farther when they heard a fiutter right at their sides and some one call, Whip Poor Will" Then Will knew that he should never have gone with l his sister
 By this time they were both frighten- ed and just as they were passing a 1 little stagnant green scummed pool 1 they heard a gruff voice excIainl: "Bedder go Home" | The children thought so, too, and looked around to find the path by which they had come, but they were turned around and soon realized they were lost
 they heard some one with a stern deep voice say: | Who? Who? Who"
 And Will said in a frightened voice, Tt is only Katy and Will" 1 They were so tired and frightened that they laid down under a great oak and fell fast asleep. The next they l heard their father say, there they are asleep, and he woke them and took them home.
 Then the children told their father and mother about the people in the woods The mother said:
 "The people my dear little children were only grasshopper, two birds and a frog"
 These children never went in the
 woods alone after that for one good fright was enough to keep them con- tented to stay at home until theiI parents were ready to go with them. MADELAINE TUCKER, Age 14. Columbia.
