LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Interests of Every Citizen.
MT. Editeri

Mir Editor;
 I note the following in Tuesdays Bulletin. Connecticut is not likely to provide funds for building at the Panama exposition. That should sat isfy Senator McNeifs economy poli- cy."
 And at the same time I cast my eye on the following from the Bristol Press, of a recent issue Tn several states mental humps are epidemic. Curiouslv enough this painful disease affects chiefly members of legislative bodies. State assemblies and Congress. In taking off it's hat to B. F.

Editor will you al- low an Old Man with hair and moustache decorated with the heavy frost of many years, and the apex of the cranium as barren of fertility as Ocean beach ,too-draw the compari- son.

 What the bell is to the steeple.
 It's the soul awake!
 While the Bristol Political Cucum- ber' gives one the bel1yache.
 Thus does '-Peruna take the place of "Moxie.'
 Now seriously Mir Bulletin as to the much mooted $1 1,000, 900 appropria ton. The ways and means committee sat up late night after night Tor weeks. during that legislative session and their estimates were scrutinized and explanation of them demanded. The ppropriationS were honestly and earnestly made and practically all were satisfied.
