LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Second to None in the Country.

Mr. Editor: Your leading editorial in your issue of July 2nd.. Fire De- pertinent Head" in it's tone and tenn per of restrained force is excellent, but it is only from one angle of view. the inside looking out
 Please consider another viewpoint. from the outside looking in,
 The writer has not the honor of a personal acquaintance with Chief stanton, but he has met representa- tive citizens of your city of both sexes " hen Stanton'S name is mentioned the unnistakable testimony of word and eye and expression is at once a vivid assurance that Howard L. Stanton in Norwich is a man of mark and the object of sincere admiration and re- gard.
 You say that "No city in the state has better conducted or more eff- clent fire department" You might with equal truth and emphasis have gone further, for in the discipline, eff clency and forwardness of it's depart ment of fire Norwich is second to no city in the whole country
 Among his professional brethren Stanton takes rank easily in the fore most fles During the last convention of the International Association of Fire Engineers he was the recipient of a most marked and unusual distinc- CloH. IoIWltuSl uSldnQlnS lie himself was not there.
 man of ideas, of thought and of action. fully abreast of and oftentimes a leader in the most approved practice of his profession, a master of execu- t1on, of tactics and of detail and woven through it all the fine fibre of admirable personality and moral worth f the city of Norwich by it's own act loses the services, the growingly valuable services, of this man, it will have written another short but sad and alarming chapter of the sordid volume-Municipa Waste
 Every dweller within the city is a taxpayer, directly or indirectly. Each one of them is vitally concerned Can a better man than Stanton be named :? Can you hope to secure one as good !?
 The fire risk is an ever present peril to life and property.
 The people of the city of Norwich can keep stanton where he is Rally them. MT. Editor, for their own safety

DUTY OR PERSONAL CAIN

That he needs the money which he can gain on the lecture platform to maintain his income for four years at q figure greater than $1 1000 a mortb. and partially overcome the sacrifice which he is making in his accumula- ton of wealth by accepting such q meager salary as the office of secre- tary of state furnishes, are reasons which MT. Bryan advances as the re- suit of the criticisms against his six weeks lecture schedule.
 It is surprising that Mir. Bryan should place the matter of salary ahead of his duty. As the New York Times says: "The absence of the nrin- cipal officer of the cabinet for so long 3 time from his office desk is not to be condoned. There has been no time in our recent history when so many problems of our foreign relations have required prompt solution. The need of concentration upon half a dozen important subjects is manifested daily The secretary of states task at this moment is more difficult, requiring a high order of intellect discretion, and industry, than that of any other cab anet officer. The exact measure of MT. Bryan's fitness for this office is not sn question. He holds it, and he should remain in Washington to atten1 to his duty. The country is bound to suffer from the consequences of neg feet in the affairs of the state de- partment"
 Because Mir. Bryan occupies the very important cabinet position, d po- sition which he accepted knowing it's requirements, personal matters should be sacrificed before his duty to the country. To take vacation for pri- vate gain at such an important time as this is playing lightly with the de- mands of the office

 I've been thinking about how much 1t costs.' Bobby said. "And I wond- cred. There's so many windows and doors and things Of course, parlor windows cost more'n cellar w1nders, cause they're made of better glass. Now. Jimmy. he says some parlor winders cost $2, but then Jimmy al- ways puts prices up awful high. Gee, l wish 1t wouldn't rain such a lot, We don't hardly get outdoors any"
 Its rather hard on baseball and picnics, isn't it ?'
 Well. we aint had any plans for picnics yet, hardly. Billy says our room at school oughter get up one, bue he begins talking picnics soon's Christmas is over. Nellie Fosters had one all thought out long ago, but it ain'*t fair to get up one that way.
 Il ain't in awful hurry for any picnics longs it's so wet. It's base ball that I'm looking for. I'd like to know how anybody could run in all the mud, less Il he was a fish. It was baseball started me thinking about houses an things like that
 fT suppose your idea was to build grandstand to protect the baseball fans. Is that it?" asked his father.
 'Nnot exactly" Bobby acknowl- edged. You see. we don't get any fans 'cept fellers that don't want to sit down. They get so excited they just jump up and down, an run all around. Jimmy he's a swell player this year. We was playing yesterday and this morning before it started in to rain in the same dinged old way

The veterans who fought for the Confederate cause in the war between the states now receive, from their re- spectfve states a sum in pensions annually aggregating $5,780 S33. 5S. The eleven states which made up the Confectionery pay this, in amounts ranging from Louisiana's $175000 to Alabama's $875,O00. They do this gladly, as their tribute to the men who offered all and gave up much for the cause that, though lost was not in vain. Not one of those states has asked or would ask the federal govern men to assume it's burden.-New Ha- ven Register.

He's a swell player, only he gets sore when the fellers butt in You see. the fellers get so excited they pick up the ball and throw 1t in when they ain't on the team at all, and it makes him awful sore. I don't blame him. do you?'
 No, I should think not. They have no bushes to touch the ball."
 Well, he made me crazy talking about houses. It was him started me and Jimmy talking and he said houses often cost more'n thousand dollars He said you could divide up thous- and dollars into winders and doors and you'd find a door cost 8 heap. He said there was about twenty WinderS in this house. Is there?
 "I don't think I ever counted them. You might count them some day, just for fun.'
 Well anyhow, he said he could count 'em from where he was and he a cellar winder cost at least S2. 1 aint ever heard anything so foolish, have you?''
 Tt was perhaps a rather high esti- mate. Some day when we are over at the glazier's we might ask him just out of curiosity how much one of our windows cost. A cellar window, for instance
 T thought maybe we might go over that way this evening if it stopped raining Bobby said hopefully. You ain't had lot of walking to-day. have you?"
 Not a great deal"
 Billy says burglars get in through cellar winders. Do they?''
 Not any oftener than through oth- CT windows
 Once would be often for me-" Bobby sighed. Balls go through winders awful often, I think
 So a ball went through one, did it? I hope it wasn't where the boy would get himself into serious trouble"
 No. sir. That's the nice part about it." Bobby said cheerfully. Tt was our window. It went through just as easy, this morning.
 Our window? Did the boy feel sorry? I suppose he offered to pay?"
