WISE TO DEMOCRATIC JOLLY.

It is interesting to note how solicit ous the democratic forces and press are in behalf of the welfare and fu- ture of the progressive party. It Is from such sources that the third party Is getting much praise and encour- agement. From the democratic quar- ters they are being admired for their solidarity and energy of purpose and for their stand in behalf of their prin- ciples, for there are tricks in all trades and politics Is full of them.
 Ever since the split in Chicago the country has been going democratic. There have been wholesale elections for that party. This change has not been for the better. It has not been because of a desire to see democratic principles put in operation. It has not been because of a change in sentiment against the principles of the repubIi- can party, but just so long as such strength as the third party can mus ter Is stimulated, just So long does it contribute generously to democratic results at the polls. It is therefore the natural thing for the democrats to nurse along the dissension and en- courage the progressives. They can do no harm to the otherwise inevitable result, but they can give most valuable aid to a democratic plurality.
 It is the recognition of the futility of further democratic contributions which has sent so many thousands back to the republican ranks and which is each day increasing that number for it is the only way where by the disastrous present day condi- tions can be replaced by the former republican good times. They are get ting wise to democratic jolly.

WORLDS CHAMPIONS.

There can be no doubt that the win ning of the worlds championship by the Boston team of the National league e1eanS that the honor goes to the best 3a11 team in the country. The manner in which the Braves have demon sfrated their superiority leaves the fact unquestioned. From first to last it has been a masterly exhibition of tho national game which has been given by the contending teams, but in each instance the Boston team has shown that 1t was sufficiently better to win.
 Not only have the new champions succeeded in wrestling the honor from the Athletics, who have held the dis tanct1on at three different times, but in doing 50 two new records have been established, that of batting such a pitcher as Bender out of the box and of carrying off the honor in. four straight games. the minimum that could be played The kind of team which Manager StaIlings developed lwas well indicated by the manner In which they emerged from every Sight situation, and particularly that of the third game, when they retrieved D game which for most aggregations would have been lost. It is skill which counts in such contests rather than reputation and it was skill that the Braves proved they have.

boat on New Haven harbor. He want ed no man with theories, but must have only practical, experienced men as game wardens who must be endow- ed with peculiar qualifications to be a success.
 Within the last year Supt. Cramp- ton appointed James F. Bugbee of Lyme as game warden of New Lon don county. MT. Bugbee is a democrat and is responsible for the game laws in this county. He is the proprietor of the village grocery at Lyme and acknowledges that it is pretty hard to run his store and be game warden at the same time. MT. Bugbee rec omm ended the names of fifteen men in our county for the position of spe- appointed them without any investi- gation. Those special, protectors are supposed to enforce the fish and game laws in thirteen towns of New Lon don county covering an area of 2S4,6 acres and with a population of 4S,790 people. In Lyme Game Warden Bug bee has three special protectors to protect him and TAP other people. All the protectors have business inter- ests of their own which keeps them busy six days week. They may take three or four days year to go hunt ing and the state pays them for the pleasure. Our special protector runs a combination pool room and barber shop six days week.
 In September a New London pro- tector found many small sized chicken Holsters on the boats here, but for fear of offending some politician and losing his job he left without action. He did nothing and still keeps his job.
 Why did Sapt. Crampton appoint men knowing their occupations would give them no spare time to enforce the laws? Is it any wonder that the game laws are not enforced with pro- tectors, protectors in name only? Eight towns of the county, including the largest city. with an area of 166,S05 acres and a population of 42,747, have no special protectors. As Game War den Bugbee has proved he cannot and does not desire to enforce the game laws, how much longer will Supt. Crampton allow him to hang on"?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Fish and Game Are Not Pro-
 tected

Mir. Editor: Trusting you will al- low me space in the columns of the Bulletin as I am a licensed hunter to show the licensed hunters, farmers and property owners of New London county what protection the democratic administration gives them in the en- forcement of the game laws of Con- necticut. thank you. The public and voters of New London county should know the truth as to why our fish and game are not protected and will state the true facts in the matter for their benefit.
 In 1913 Governor Baldwin appoint ed a state board of fisheries and game consisting of eight members, one from each county. Messrs. Molleq, Goodrich. Sanford, McMullen. Fenn, Pease. Ar mold and J. Harry Mclaughlin com posing the board. who could not find a Connecticut man competent to fill the position of superintendent of fish, cries and game. According to the above men no Connecticut man was wanted Way up in the good state of Vermont this board raked up a ton. voted him three thousand dollars a year salary, gave him a chair and a. roll top desk, with two stenographers in an office on the fourth floor of our state capitol at Hartford.
 In October. 1913, Supt. Crampton with money paid by 25,0e0 licensed hunters bought a farm at Madison and began raising game birds. This was a good plan as far as 1t went. But how about giving those game birds proper protection after they were re- leased for the hunters whose money bought and paid for them? This fall 1000 or more pheasants have been or will be released in New London coun- ty. Only licensed hunters should be allowed to shoot those game birds. How do the licensed hunters of New London county like the idea of un- licensed hunters and invaders from Rhode Island and other states spoot- ing the game birds their money bought end paid for?
 During last July Supt. Crampton announced through the press of Con necticut that he wanted no Yale or college graduate for game wardens as they didn't know enough to sail a

Crampton? If the republicans win Nov. 8 the four whose terms expire in July will not be reappointed. Those whose terms expire in 1917 including J.. Harry Mclaughlin of Jewett City will be reappointed if the democrats win in 1916.
 One man and one man alone is responsible in this county for the en- forcement of the game laws, and that man is Game Warden Bugbee, for whose appointment Supt. Crampton is responsible. In some one of the 21 towns of New London county there must be an experienced man who will devote his entire time to the enforce ment of the game laws. It should be a non-partisan job. Both democrats and republicans should. for the best interests of the county, unite and find a good man and direct him to enforce the law without fear or favor.
 Though against the law to kill deer they are wantonly killed every year in violation Of the law by hunters from other states. AS they can be shot in 1917. who will protect them then from hunters from Rhode Island?

NEED EFFICIENT POSTAL SER.
 VICE.

Before the clearing up of some of the existing defects in the postal sys- tenn of the country it Is on the pro- gramn,e of Postmaster General Burle- son to make two more changes in the method of doing business. It Is his desire to abolish the present rural de- livery carrier system and institute in its place a plan whereby those who desire the Job of carrier must put in their offer therefor and trust to their judgment in bidding in competition with others for their employment in- stead of being retained in fhe service because of their experience and abil- ity to handle the work. Such re- sembles the method of contracting for the star route deliveries, where mail was carried from one destination to another, requiring less work and re- sponsibility than where mail is actu- ally distributed and collected from house to house. With such a scheme urged with the hope of putting 1t into operation there is no telling how soon it would be applied to the regular car riers. It appears to be a change advo- cated in the name of economy without a proper regard for merit or efficiency and under such circumstances the value of such economy is questionable. At the same time it is efficiency for which the department should be striv- ing in order to render the greatest public service.
 The postmaster general is also urg ing the further extension of the par eel post that packages of one hun dred pounds may be carried by mail and such is likely to be one of the future attainments for this department but 1t is doubtful whether the de- pertinent is in a position at present to undertake it. Such is approaching closely to the express and fast freight business.
