CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 Don't never prophecy onless ye know" said Josh Billings.
 This would be a very good lesson prophets and some few professional "forecasters'' also--to mediate upon in the silent watches of the night.
 But it suggests to me, just at this time, the formulation of another text, exactly like Josh's with the exception of one word.
 Don't never criticize onless ye know"
 The fact that criticism without knowledge is about the commonest forfn5 of conversation doesn't make it anySzthe more excusa!ble.
 Popularity of a vice is no defense of it's vfciouSness.
 Merely because ones neighbors all . do it affords no reason why you or I should do it.
 "Other mems failures will never save you" sang the old hymn: nor will the plea that others are equally guilty serve as a cloak to cover and hide ones own shortcomings.
 It is not the conduct of others but our own conduct-yours and mine which must meet and fact the white light of Judgment.
 Fashion and convention may sway Mrs. Grundy's opinions. but they have no bearing, even, on lle 4lIltl QuSS- tions of practical morals.
 "Wherefore thou art without ex- cuse, o man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein you judgest an other, thou condemnest myself; for thou that judgest Gost practise the same things"
 g At least, that was Pauls idea. And Paul had a pretty level head, to say { nothing about bef1Ig a canonized saint and Sn inspired preacher sD1nst suppose he meant that we all scommit exactly the same follies and Ssins as those we critiCise in others, but that we are just as badly given to folly and sin and just as constant in our practice of both. We may not be in the same mudpuddle but we're req sonably sure to be in one quite as dir ty. We may not be able to see the mire plastered on our own backs but others can-and do.
 It is not for the pot to call the ket-- tie black. Nor even on the lowest ground of mere policy, is it wise for throw stones through their neighbors' windows.
 the habit Of indiscriminate crit icisn is worse than an offense against policy; it is 2 violation of common fairness and Aouting of common jus tice " srf439tnf- 7ot tafRin,g2 a65out the actions of neighbOrs as towards each other, and involving mutual interests. Such actions on the part of John Jones af- fccting John Farmers interests are proper matters of discussion between Jones and Farmer: of debate and agreement. if possible; of arbitration ay uidiciary decisionr perhaps. But 4-a5<4 talking of Jores' management of his own affairs-bUsiuess, agricultural, domestic or what-not.
 What earthly right has John Farm - CT or any other man or woman, to judge or even criticize Jones's action in such matters, unless he first knows every whit as much about all the cir cunastances ana atl the difficulties and all the purposes surrounding and con- Fronting Jones as Jones does him self?

 May is a successful business man. It
 is a long, long time since Groton, which with New London comprises the senatorial district, has been priv
 iledged to name the senator, although a atroh.' bid was made by Groton at the recent caucus. Postmaster Byran F. Mahan represented the district in 1911, Alderman Alton T. Miner in 1913 and Lucius Ii. Whiton in 1915. Although the district has beer rep three sessions named, still the dis trict is conceded to be republican by a substantial majority.
 The democrats elected an alderman
 in three of the five wards in the city election but that is no indication that
 the city is republican, as is clearly demonstrated Ky the large republican maior.ties in the other t@6 wards, enough to make clean majoritv of
 over two hundred in the city, and Cn
 a very light vote at that. In the first third and fourth wards the demo-

 Then, when he dropped dead, one day from heart failure brought on by sudden strain which he could not avoid, ii came out that he had for years had some sort of heart trouble which made the attempt at severe work or the undergoing of unusual strain practical suicide. Instead of being lazy, he had simply been de- gently prudent.
 But I haven't noticed, since then, that many of those who used to crit icize him were made so ashamed of themselves as to lead them to refrain from the same sort of judgment of others.

Jones himself doesn't farm it as some Of his neighbors think he should. He continues to use some rather odd and ld-fasaicned tools which the rest of us have discarded as out-of- date and suprlanted with more mod ern inventions. But, before we crit icize him for that we would have to know whether he could afford to throw away the old ones and buy new. He has a bigger family to sup port than some of us. The calls on his purse for boys shoes and girls dresses are bigger, and his purse is slenderer. If he is making a worn out blow do duty another year, at the cost of harder work to himself and longer and even poorer crops, in order. to keep his boys at school and help the oldest girl through her nor nal course,--if he is doing something like that say, in which of our mouths dces it lie to criticize him?
