A MISE ATTITuDE.

Ii is true that this state IS not fac ing anything larger than city or town elections. but it is a much wiser view that is being taken by the leaders of the progressive factions in Merideh and Waterbury when they deem it un- wise to place ticket in the field, than is that which acNuated the followers of Col Roosevelt in the third congress sional district in Maine, where on Mon day member of congress will be elected.
 Including the socialist candidate there are four aspirants for the honor of representing the district which un- der normal conditions is republican by a small plurality The action of the third party in putting forth ticket only serves to give greater confidence to the democratic forces through the splitting up of the support which the republican candidate would receive should the former party lines be re- drawn. This Maine district goes into the contest with the knowledge that its next representative will go to con- gress upon a minority vote. It means in this case that the progressives are giving most valuable aid to principles against which they are not only op- posed. but against which they have always fought.
 That cities in this state see the folly of such a course is in line with the recognition being given to the wisdom of the get-together policy. + means that the leaders are realizing tna$ the best work for all concerns1 can be done within the united party,

CAPTION THAT IS NEEDED.

If there ever was need for giving the public additional protection from poison. it has been demonstrated dur ing the past six months by the numer- ous mistakes which have been made in the use of bichloride of mercury t"r headache tablets. It has reached the point where the ordinary precautions are not sufficient. because of the mark ed similarity which exists between tablets of entirely different character and the disposition of people to throw caution to the winds,
 The movement which has been in stituted by a Brooklyn doctor, for the purpose of regulating the sale of the poison and requiring that all manu- lecturers make the tablets irregular in shape and blue in color, should eX- perience no trouble in getting proper support. The color idea may have been adopted by certain manufactures bur there is need that all should be re- duired to use it and with such dead lv poison and so little chance of its yielding to treatment, it is likewise common sense suggestion that the sale should be regulated. It is manifes' y better that such poisons should be placed as far out of reach as possible and when put in the possession of tea public should have q distinctive form and color which would eliminate tie possibility of being mistaken for some thing else. It is matter in which all states should take a united stand,

His appointments which he was able to make as president reflected the respect which he has for the administration of justice, and a recognition of the demands of the bench for the most capable men and simplifcation Of court procedure in the interest of the litigants,
 MT. Taft has this week declared himself upon the benefits of the ap- pointive judiciary. and pointed out the independence and strength wh---2 such gives in a manner which cannot but appeal to all who have to do with courts and judges There is no better time than the present for a concerted action in behalf of clearing up the weak points connected with law and the courts.

BULKELEY SCORES.

With the announcement from J. P. Morgan & Co. that they intend to withdraw as the fiscal agents of the New York, New Haven and Hartford "a ilroad Morgan .. Bulkeley stands out prominently as the cause of this decision It means that either recog- hilton Is taken of the point which he advanced at the recent stockholders meeting. or else il is a determination on the part of the big banking firm to allow the ideas of eX-Governor Bukeley 10 be tried out upon their merits Mir Bulkeley took the position that Tn the proposed bond issue of sixty seven million the road should handle the proposition itself and not permit a million and a half to three quarters 10 be turned over to brokers for floating the issue. IL is in support Of the soundness of his claim that he will appear before the Massachusetts public utilities commission regarding the issue
 MT Bulkeley's plans would mean a complete revolution in the methods of financing which the road has fol- lowed and which by the stock vote it was prepared to continue yet the attitude taken by the former governor is one which fits in with the demands for economy and Immediately arouses no small amount of approval It is the contention of the well known po- htical fighter that the road should be run for the benefit of the stockholders rather than for the benefit of a lot of banker brokers. and it is a contention which has a tone indicating business. and a deeper and proper interest in the welfare of the road. The situation apparently lacks the master hand and influence Of the late J. P Morgan.

We have divine as- surrnce: As ye SOW so shall ye reap" Everybody must pay the price of misconduct. Nature sees that we get in measure our deserts.
 When we talk about birds we are apt to magnify their bad rather than their good points. Those who watch the English sparrow know that 1t is more useful than it's assailants ever admit; and so 1t proves to be with the starlings which are lanbasted as robbers of other birds nests. These
 starlings are kept as cage birds in Europe, and are popular be- cause of their ability to initiate the notes of other birds; and also because they can be taught to whistle tunes and make remarks like a parrot. It is related of Sterne that he had caged starling he had taught to plainly say: T can't get out!" They have to be kept by themselves when caged because they learn the notes of ali birds in hearing. and will warble other notes like nocking bird And whether old or young when caught, they are said to learn with equal fla eiiity, Man dces not half appreciate his eofnpantonahie and versatile featnered friends.

Written Specially For The Bulletin.)

Reading of the plans for the Baby Show a. eur County Fair during the past week, carried my mind back to a little Vermont hamlet, where 1 have spent very many happy summers A hamlet it could hardly be called for it was composed mostly of outlying hill farms, and yet down in the Hollow, as they called it, there was a cluster Of houses with a church and a school house for center. and post ofnce more or less regularly attended to py the people in whose house it was es- tablished. Rest after years toll awaited me in this region, and dearly do I prize the memories of experiences which came to me there. Delightful pictures they make to hang Tn mem ory's hall. The old home is now in the hands of strangers, and sorry am l memory.
 One of my first questions on my an nual return there was, What has hap pened hereabouts during the year? and the winterroll of death and mar riage and birth, of removal and arrival, was run over for my benefit. Strange is it not. that in such a sequestered re- zion all the tragedies and comedies of life should find room for action?
 In all the region roundabout there was not a colored person to be seen. so it was not surprising that one summer, in reply to my inquiries concerning the events of the year the first item to be mentioned was the arrival in their midst of a colored family.
 Just think" I was told, "a colored family has come to live in the little house in the woodlot. and they are real nice people. too.

Did you ever think of the misery or the small boy who cannot get into the fair-it is twin to the misery of the small hoy who cannot get into the circus Of course the miseFies of boys all seem trivial to us; but since we have all been boys we know they are real to them. In old times if boy couldn't get jewsharp when he want ed one 1t seemed as if life wasn't hard ly worth living; and it is about the same now if he cannot have a bicycle the moment he wakes up to the irnag- mary pleasures of 1t. It is often a mis- cry for boy to hear parent or guard ian say: ''No," when 1t would be his undoinS for them to say ''Yesl" In this respect boys are not so unlike men who want what they want when they want 1t although it may be nothing that will benefit them or that they re- ally heed.

What do you suppose is the reason that an ear of corn never has thirteen rows of kernels upon it? This ques- tion has been debated by the granges and no satisfactory conclusion has been reached. A thing that is mathe- maticaIly odd cannot be even, you know; and nature is very careful about her balances. Man has two legs, a dog four, a butterfly six, a spider eight and centipede too many to count; but there are no odd ones unless some have been amputated. Americas great corn crop harbors no symbols of su- perstition. It might be well for the farmers to discuss the question: What does q cornstalk know?" It is a scien- tific fact that a cOrnstalk will put out no guy roots when a stake has been put up on it's side to protect it from the force of the wind until the stake has been removed; and then it will immed- lately send out guy-roots to hold itself against the fury of the wind How does the cornstalk know the stake has bean taken aWay2
