That Kansas Lesson.

Mr.. Editor: The Kansas people
have tried prohibition for thirty-six
years and are so satisfied with the re-
suits that every Political party in the
state champions prohibition as the
only state policy"
The above significant statement ap-
pearing recently in the columns Of that
able daily THE Topeka (Kan.) Cap
ital" ought not to be without great
weight, especially in those states SO
soon to declare themselves by vote up
on the vital issue, statewide prohi-
bition. The experience of q common
wealth is not unlike that Of an indi-
ViduaI-it is worthy of the earnest at
tentiOn of those contemplating import
ant steps in life. And when conclu-
siCns are reached in either case after
mature elaboration in the realiza-
ton of results there is ample reason
for the most Dainstal1ing and faithful
adherence to the lessons conveyed.
Let it Re remembered, too, that not
only in Kansas, but in other states as
well there We're political parties that
were not at the first particularly
friendly to the cause Of prohibition, but
who have been led to see by the years
of test that prohibition is an indis-
pensabIe asset. And now their tes-
timOny ought not to be set aside by
any party or state seeking the public
welfare.
From present indications Nation
Wide Prohibition is not very distant
! and every state voting DRY" in these
mOuentous days is only Fastening the
| coming OF the glad era when not only
viii this land be salOOnless, but will
| also be free from the liquor traffic in

The WHITE PINE PERIL

"A thorough scouting expedition is
on in New England to stay if possible
the increase Of the fungus pest which
is threatening this valuable timber.
This disease seems to be different
from that which promises to make an
end Of New England's chestnut trees;
but is g blister rust which has been
imported from Europe; and the plant
pathologists have hopes that this
fungus can be successfully controlled
In Massachusetts the infection has
been located generally in Essex coun-
ty east Of o line drawn from Methuen
south through Andover and Reading
and across to Salem, Winchester and
AGelrose are likewise under suspicion.
The other wide areas in which the
rust has already been found are Ply
mouth and Bristol counties, something
like twenty square miles in the vi
cinfty Of New Bedford having been
found more or less infected. Thus far
the central counties have not been
found seriously menaced, but Berk-
shire presents one Of the worst situa-
lions at the present.
All farmers who own white pine
woods should interest themselves in

THE FULL DINNER PAIL.

The democrats are pointing at the
full dinner pail" with pride-the din
r. -S'-' is not full because of
thclr sad ecoucu7 policies, but in
spite ~ thera.
TIE full Dime all they so long
sc11tt1 has never been filled by a
tsl or revenue only. Before the
brea ing out Of the great world war
the revenues under the Underwood
revenue bill were not meeting the gov
eminent expenses by eight millions
a day: but when war was declared
and orders up in the millions began
to pour in and machtnists were scarce
and wages went to five dollars a day,
the dinner pail filed right up and
has remained full ever since.
This war munitions full dinner pail
is over the divide, and will soon be
on the decline, since foreign orders
are falling off and it is estimated 5O,-
900 men now busy will be idle before
October.
The democrats attribute the pros
perity of the country to the federal
reserve bank act, but this bubble OF
dependency win soon burst when or
ders cease to come in from abroad.
The Bulletin would like to see the
full dinner pail kept full but it will
take the republican protective tariff
to do it.

THE OUTLOOK FOR HAY.

It is predicted that hay win be
thirty dollars a ton next winter.
This IS not because the hay crop
of 1915 was short, but because the
wet weather interference with har-
vesting the crop has really reduced
it to a point of shortage which will
make the demand for hay far in ex-
cess Of the supply.
This has been an unduly wet season,
and grass and oats have been ruined;
the green pea and bean crop greatly
reduced; and the green corn crop
and tomato crop behind time and not
very promising, because of exces-
sively cool and hot and wet weather.
Those farmers who are fortunate
enough to have a good stand Of al
falfa have already harvested two
crops with a good chance for third;
and the progressive farmers are ad-
'vising the increase of alfalfa acreage
as a means Of raising in New Eng
land all Of the forage needed
At present large sums of money go
to other parts of the country for for
age for our stock which might as
well be saved and used for the ad-
vancement and comfort of the agri-
culturists' families.

POLITICAL
AS to the Ethics of Pork and the
President.

AS to the Ethics of Pork and the
President.
The bill which the president has
just signed is in some respects the
most scandalous ever sent to the
White House for approval. Public
opinion has been greatly aroused in
recent years against the activities of
the congressional pork hunters. There
were successful fiIibUsters in the senate
against the river and haTbor measures
of 1914 and 1915, and the expenditure
carried in those two bills had to be
down from $92,OOO,C0O to $4,000, 900
before they got to the president. This
years single measure, loaded up in
accordance with the worst methods of
the past, carries $4,000, coo. The great
ell part of this money will be spent on
projects of purely local interest, from
which no permanent national benefit
can ever result, or is even expected to
result. Most of the improvements au-
thorized are not co-Ordinated with any
general plan of waterway development.
The motive behind them is not eco
nomic, but only seTffshly political

REGULATING AUTOMOBILE
TRAFFIC,

The regulation of the automobile
traffic in the larger cities is a trying
problem. The traffic is so fierce that
mothers and their children are de-
prived of the open air privileges and
joys which are their Inheritance.
New York has succeeded in prohi-
biting traffic in part Of her streets
so the women and children may take
the air in safety and exercise. In
the most crowded districts of the me-
tropoIis almost every other street is
closed to auto traffic.
Boston has an ordinance requiring
she sidewalks shall be kept clear To
what an extent suggestions to this
end have been made the Boston
Transcript reveals in this comment:
ITO ask that q mother should pay
fifty cents a month and furnish a
Thousand dollar bond for the right to
leave a baby carriage ON the sidewalk
would be q provision moro suitable
to the royal government Of Hades
than to an enlightened city of earth. -
The rising generation must have
air and sunlight and exercise in or
der to maintain a healthy existence,
and traffic must be restricted. Plead
ing for better conditions The Tran
script says:
Our present structure of cities is
wicked enough in the way it deprives
the young generation of opportunities
for play and recreation. What Bos-
ton needs to do is not to bar all its
streets to baby carriages and children
either by law or discretion, but to
open some Of them wide to the chill
dreE and then make them safe and
desirable for children only?''

Why This Silence ?

Mr.. Editor: Since Harry D. johnson
challenged 7. H. Cummings to debate
the issues of the present European
war, either in q public hall or through
the columns OF The Bulletin, a deep
and impressive silence has prevailed
on the part of that ardent disciple Of
the kaiser.
His faith in the righteousness Of the
cause of the TeutOnic allies does not
appear to be so strong that he dares
to meet q champion of the opposing
forces.
His last effusion apparently was in
spired by the fact that the tide Of
war is at present turning in favor Of
the allies
He seems to be reduced to such a
poverty of argument that he must
drag out the old, threadbare Japanese
war scare and attempt to terrify Nor
witch people with the horrible vision Of
a Japanese fleet sailing up the
Thames.
The shipment Of munitions to the
allies has filed his soul with righteous
indignation: but he seems entirely
complacent over the cargo of rubber
and nickel which the Deutschland is
taking to Germany.
To all fair-minded readers it will
appear that it is up to -. H" to an

Suburban Residents Claim 15-Minute
Rule For Autos Drives Trade Out of
Town.
Mr.. Editor: It seems hardly fair to
the merchants of Norwich that shop
pers are allowed but Is minutes to
make their purchases, especially to
people who live outside the city limits
and use their cars to go to and from
Norwich. Does anyone suppose that
we wild leave our cabs on a side street,
one-quarter Of a mile away and bring
back our purchases to that car. much
OF it being merchandise that we would
be unable to board a trolley with? Do
the wise ones of the city think it pos
sible to buy gown. a rug, perhaps
have a college ice, buy a few inciden-
tails and off for nome in Is minutes ?
If they think it can be done, let them
tIE1 it.
I had occasion this week to do some
shopping that would take half an
hour or more at the least, result; I
sent to New York, received goods on
approval two days later, and had am
pie time to make my selection and re-
turn what 1 did not want at no ex-
pense to me. Also no running about
with a watch in my hand, to be sure
that I had not exceeded the time lin
it, and be arrested and fined in the
police court. The New York mer-
chants make big bids for our trade.
Ihey SEND samples, goods on approval
and give credit. Under the circum-
stances why patronize home indus
try?
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport
Waterbury and other cities. many
times the size Of Norwich, both in pop
ulation and business activity allow 40
minutes and in many cases a amuch

Why shouldn't Norwich do the same ?

be improved upon greatly anS to the
advantage of everybody.

LETTING GEORGE DO 1T.

The story goes that Gen. Washington
and his staff on one occasion, had
planned a tour of inspection to another
army post up the great Chester Valley.
AS the officers came out of the farm
house that served them as headquarters
to mount their horses one of them
vaulted a stone wall, displacing there
by a large stone.
You'd better fix that" said Wash
ington. "Oh, never mind" returned the
officer, let my orderly do it,; and off
he rode. The orderly, however, had no
eyes TO see unnecessary work and rode
away behind his superior. The caval-
cade had gotten but q few rods down
the road when Washington turned
back, dismounted and himself re-
placed the stone.
