 A petition in opposition is in cir, recognition even if it be necessary to have recourse to law is the declaration made by one of the property owners along the proposed pole line. There is no law that permits such a line in the city and that being so there is pay no heed to the objections made by the parties directly interested
 This change in traokage means a system in New London is progressing rapidly and will be in operation be- vanced. One of the large brick build ings in Water street, part of the Boss Cracker company plant, has been remodeled and arranged for the freight business and when the work Is com paeted will be one of the largest and best equipped trolley freight stations in the state. if not in New England. Track connection is made by exten- sion from the present terminal in State street, down past the Soldiers monument, and close to the same, then down the street with gradual turn into Water street and to the freight depot.
 Thio change in trackage means a change in the standing place for the city expressmen and their teams, as the tracks now occupy the space which has long been recognized as public stand for the expressmen. Years ago, before the monument days and long, long before that little parklet on the parade, in the days when two-wheeled dsays predominated. which preceded the wheeled trucks and the more modern express wagons, the entire parade was devoted to a public stand for teams of every description. It was no uncommon sight to see emptied charcoal wagons standing there and the oxen unhitched nearby munching their feed, sandwfched in with the public drays. But times and condi- tions have changed since then, and with the changes came the monument and the parklet and the city express wagons.
 The monument is here to stay, but the parklet should go to make needed space not only for the expressmen but for the increased public traffic, now almost continuously congested by req son of the parklet which seems to have been always in the way since its construction. It is of no use and cer- tainly possesses no beauty. To be sure the parklet is an improvement over the parade of fifty years ago, and per haps of more recent date. but now the space it couples is needed for legiti- mate vehicular purposes and the time is ripe for it's elimination. to make way for progress.

BIG BUSINESS ABSORBING TO BASE TACTICS

threatened victims, they. the thieves, might have unobstructed opportunity to loot the neighbours homes.
 I have heard of that scheme. Now have read MT. Vanderlip's. Which is the higher grade of politics l certain ly will not venture to assert But 1t strikes me that, considering its source and scope. MT. Vanderlip's is the most amazing of the two.
 In the first place, there is absolutely no evidence upon which to base the assertion that the farmers of America are only 40 per cent. efficient As com pared with what ideal men, work1ng ideal crops on ideal soil in ideal weath- er might possibly do, they may not come anywhere near 40 per cent. of that ideally possible. They may come nearer. don't know; Secretary Hous- ton doesn't know: nobody knows or can know.
 The point is that the ideally possible is never practically possible in farm ing;s never has been; never will be.
 Mr. vanderlip chafes under the ex- isting or proposed restrictions of hu- man law, intended to keep the wolves and tigers of Big Business from eat ing up the smaller fry. But the farm CT lives. moves and has his being un- der the eternal limitations and re- strictions of natural laws which he Is utterly powerless to modify; about whose making he had no say either of advice or protest; not a quarter of which is he capable of understanding, even so little as to know how to avoid their penalties.
 We do not yet know all or even half the mystery of germination. We do not know any simplest clew to the still more wonderful mystery of growth, by which one plantlet will take from the soil and the water and the air corn, and another piantlet, in the same soil and water and air, will take out of them an oak tree. We do not know half of what we would like to about the effects of fertilization and cultivation We know absolutely noth- ing of what will be the characteristics of any coming season. From the be- ginning of the season to it's end, and every season, we take the results which the little understood but absolutely ir- resishble laws of nature grind out for us, just f1uttering around the edges with our hoes and our harrowS in brave but often blind attempts after some little control of the few natural functions We have slowly come to have suspicion of.
 For a city banker, or a. metropolitan editor, neither one of whom knows any more about actual farming condi- uonS than the average farmer knows about Chinese grammar, to plan fur ther man-made restrictions on voca- ton which is already subjected to the interdicts of a thousand omnipotent natural laws, every one of them be- yond the power of any supreme court to nullify or veto-for such men to even think of such a thing is more than amazing. It is pitiful.
 The spirit which moves them to the suggestion is more than amazing and more than pitiable; it is monstrous. The Times summary and indorsement of MT. Vanderlip's suggestion refers to farmers as men who, while they ire quire the fatalities of supermen in Big Business, and require 100 per cent efficiency in the management of it's af-

(WritteD Specially for The Bulletin.)
 There is a bank president in New York city by the name of Vanderlip- His bank is understood to be the largest in the town. It would there fore be necessary to assume that lie Is person of some importance, in his own class. And he has recently been making an address-not hastily inn provised speech. but carefully work ed and written out oration on the Righteousness of Big Business and the Blatant IniQuity of Farmers.
 The New York Times, which always sneezes whenever Big Business nose tickles, prints most of the address and a long editorial gleefu1ly sustaining it. l have read them both.
 And l would be willing to bet a dollar against a sour doughnut that you couldn't find in a days hunt of Connecticut two men who show such utter and crass ignorance of the entire rural economic situation as is dis played by these two, the New York city banker of high rank and the New York city editor of admitted intelli- gence in some other directions.
 To begin with, Mir. vanderlip has recalled the address made last winter before some New Hampshire grangers by Secretary Houston, in which the secretary estimated that American farmers, as a whole, were producing only about 40 per cent of what all American farm land, if dntensively cultivated, might, perhaps, produce Mir. vanderiip has seized upon some smart" newspaper paraphrase of the secretaryss language, by which he was made to appear as asserting that the American farmer was "only 40 per cent efficient" and has made that catchy but incorrect phrase the text fnr- .afHcJrf rpnGf amazing RIIRZaEtinn I remember having seen in economic politics.
 Briefly put, Mr. vanderiip's theory is that Big Business is being unwar- rantably hampered by politicians who malevolent farmers purposely. to par alyze, muzzle, main, becrfpple, ham, string and suangle Big Business afore- said; the ignorant or malevoient farm CTS in question being moved thereto by various and sundTy muckrakers.
 His suggestion is that Big Business be relieved from fear of further attack from this ignorant or malevolent horde by the familiar expedient of building so big a fire in the horde's tention, thereby precluding it from paying any future attention to the methods of Big Business.
 In other words, seizing the news paper pafapnraSe or secretary t1OuS- toms remark and asserting that the farmer is only 70 per cent. efficient, MT Vanderiip proposes that congress es and legislatures which are now try ing to make Big Bsiness more efficient and respectable shall turn on the farmers and require them, under pen atty of the law. to reach 100 per cent. efficiency themselves. He rightly as- suInes that such procedure would take their attention away from Big Business, and concentrate it on their own respective turnip patches. M

Sulphur Dries Up Eczema and
 Stops Itching
THIS OLD TIME SKIN HEALER IS USED JUST LIKE ANY
 COLD CREAM.

With the first application of bold sulphur cream the angry itching att tending any eczema eruption ceases and its remarkable healing powers begin. Sulphur, says a renowned der matologist, just common bold-sul- phur. made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irrita- ted and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases. and after two or three applications the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth. q.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold sulphur cream and apply it to the irri- tated, infiamed skin. the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years this soothing, heal ing sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous affections by reason of its parasite destroying property. It Is not only parasiticidal, but also autiprurftic. an- tiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and infiammatory conditions of the skin. While not always estab- fishing a permanent cure it never fails to instantly suydue the irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it isoften years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.

Results from The Making of Scout motion picture held recently under the auspices of Troop No. 3. Boy Scouts of America, were everything but @ financial success. Owing to an un- avoidable combination of circum- stances the attendance was very small. Not only did the boys lose money, but after cleaning out the treasury they still find themselves in debt The pie ture was immensely satisfying to ev- eryone and did the boys nearly as much good as a years service
 To offset their difficulty. Troop Leader Ferguson, Assistant Troop Leader Cook and Treasurer Tyler Rog- CTS are planning a cake and ice cream sale. which they will manage them selves. with the other boys and with out active help from the scoutmaster
 Patrol Leader Cook and Assistant Patrol | eader Tyler Rogers returned on Suni ly in fine condition after their 48 mile like to Hartford. They aver aged 3 '1-2 miles per hour and hold the Scout walking record of Eastern Connecticut and probably of the entire state. Much information that they gained will be of great service to their troop.

preaching of the gospel. What the Mayfower expedition and the land ing of. the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1920 meant to New England, the new than John Robinson ever realized.
 Very little is known of John Rob- fnson's childhood He was born in 1576 and entered college in 1915, be- ing then 3s years of age. He mar ried Elizabeth White, daughter of Bishop White of the Church of Eng land. Three sons and three daughters were born to them. He died in Leyden, Holland in 1925.
 Isaac Robinson, his second son, was born in 1610 and came to New Eng land in 1631, stopping first with the Pilgrims at Plymouth colony.
 John Robinson separatist.
 John Robinson was separatist. and became a minister while still a young man. He did not favor the ideas of the Church of England, but wanted more religious liberties After suf- fering much persecution, he with Will jam Bradford and William Brewster, other Puritans Of the strictest kind, separated from the Church of Eng land. Soon after 1914 they moved to Leyden, Holland. with the majority of their followers. where Robinson spent the remainder of his life as pastor of
 
 Pilgrim church"
 Bradford was one of the younger members of the Pilgrim church and did not assume his position of promin- ence until after the emigration to America He later became governor of Plymouth. He was a printer by trade. Brewster was the first Pur- itan pastor in America.
 The Congregationalists indeed can be proud to claim as the founders of their polity in it's modern form, Rob inson, Brewster and Bradford, all of Scrooby, England, that later, from the rectory at Epworth in the same dis trict, went forth John and Charles Wesley, the great leaders of the Meth odist movement.
 Virtual Founder of coneregationalism
 The strength of John Robinson's personality is best appreciated by con- sidering the impression which he made upon his followers. To be a leader and moulder of strong men requires a stronger man. William Bradford and William Brewster were strong men. They set their mark deeply upon the subsequent lift of New England. The master of the ideal. the moulding force. upon Bradford and Brewster, and the shaper of the first Separatist congrega- ton, and therefore, the virtual found CT of Congregationalism. was John Robinson, the pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers.
