Especial to the Bulletin. )

Westerly, July 27.-With possibly the recent Geissler-Decordova murder and
 suicide upmost in his drunken, crazy mind, William Brown deliberately tried to duplicate that crime at his home in Spring street, Westerly, this evening. He had been drunk several days ac- cording to report, although not ordi- narly classed as a drinking man. He went to the home of his mother, Mrs. James Brown. in John street, at 6 o'clock He told her his wife was not true to him and that he was going over to the house and kill her and kill him self He exhibited a 32-caliber revolver and a large supply of ammunition which he said he had just purchased. Just to show his mother how it would shoot, he said, he fired a shot through a pie ture on the wall and three more through a door. He then left the house and started crosslots to his home in Spring street His mother immediately went to the home of Policeman Curtin nearby to notify him but he was out on patrol duty Police headruarters were noti- jed however, by telephone and urgent call made for the police to hurry to the home of William Brown with the hope of preventing the crime The police re- sponded as quickly as possible When they arrived they found Brown dead on the floor, having shot himself through the top of the head on the right side, death probably being instantaneous.

mere are many domestic questions Which l cannot discuss here.
 League of Nations.
 The proposed league of nations with out reservations as submitted by tbe president to the senate met with deserved opposition from republican senators To a league in that form, subversive of the traditions and the independence of Amer lca' the republican party is opposed. But our party by the record of it's members III the senate and by the solemn decla- @ ration or US platform, by performance ana by promise, approves the principle ot agreement among nations to preserve peace, and pledge itself to the making of such an agreement, preserving Ameri- can independence, and rights, as will meet every duty America owes to hu- man1ty. This language is purnoseIv broad, not exclusive but inclusive, The republican party is not narrow enough 10 limit itself to one idea, but wise and broad enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan that can be deyisal q, the time of action. The senate received concrete proposition utterly unaccept- able without notifications. which the re publican senators eected by reservations. and so modified twice voted for ratifica ton, which the democratic administrat: :on twice defeated. The platform approves, this action of the senator's The renuI- llcans insisted on reservations whicl Iil1j- 1t. The democratic platform and record permit only of reservations unessential and explanatory.
 We have been taking counsel togeth- CT concerning the welfare of America. We have spent much time discussing the affairs of government yet most of the great concourse of people around me hold no public office except to hold no public office. Still in solemn truth they are the government, they are America, We shall search in vain in legislative halls, executive mansions, and the cham bers of the judiciary for the greatness or the government of our country. We shall behold there but a reflection, not a reality; successful in proportion to it's accuracy in a free republic a great gov ernment is the product of a great people. They will look to themselves rather than government for success. The destiny. the greatness of America li4s around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry are taught there, and the example of self sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there, and highSideaIs, if there the build ing of fortune be subordinate to the building of character, America will live in security, rejoicing in an abundant prosperity and good government at home, and in peace. respect and confidence abroad. If these virtues be absent there is no power that can supply these bless ings. Look well then to the hearth stone, therein all hope for America lies.

LINOTYPE OPERATOR TRIES
 SUICIDE WITH RICHLORIDE

William J. Stanton, 23, of 215 Frank lin street, New Haven, who has been employed as a linotype operator on an Elm City evening paper, and who for merly worked as a linotype operator in New London, is at St Raphaers hospital in New Haven suffering from bichIoride of mercury poisoning.
 The police say that Stanton had been Respondent of late and swallowed sev- eral of the poison tablets Saturday evening at his home.

 Stanton formerly lived in Waterford, just over the New London city line.

Farmers Need EnIarced Powers

This condition has borne with es- pecial severity on the agricultural in terests of the nation. To cope with it the farmers need an enlarged power of organization whereby the original pro- ducer may profit to a large degree by the high prices paid for his produce by the ultimate consumer, and at the same time decrease the cost of food The economic strength of a country rests on the farm.
 New Summons to Advance
 '"In all things a return to a peace basis does not mean the basis of 1914. That day is gone. It means a peace basis of the present, higher nobler, be- cause of the sacrifices made and duties assumed. It is no a retreat, it is new summons to advance.
 Diminishing resources warn us of the necessity of conservation. The public domain is the property of the public. It is held in trust for present and future generations. The material resources of our country are great very great, but they are not inexhaust- ible. They are becoming more and more valuable and more and more necessary to the public welfare. It is not wise either to withhold water power, reservoir sites, and mineral de- posits from development or to deny a reasonable profit to such operations. But these natural resources are not to be turned over to speculation to the detriment of the public. Such a policy would soon remove these resources from public control and the result would soon remove these resources from public control and the result would be that soon the people would be paying tribute to private greed. Conservation does not desire to retard development. It permits it and en- courages it. It is desire honestly to administer the public domain. The time has passed when public franchises and public grants can be used for pri- vate speculation.
 Recognition of CoIored Race.
 "There is especially due to the col ored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Temp -ec with disloyalty they remained loy4l serving in the -nilitary forces witk dis tinction obedient to the draft to the ex- tent of hundreds of thousands, investing S1 out of every s they puss ss ;' n l.iE- erty Bonds, surely they hold the doulIe title of citizenship, by nir-l anl hy con quest, to De IelieNeu rom all lhpoSi on to be defended from Iync1iii%, and to be freely granted equal oOa,' .Ur't:cs.

eliminated. This should show immedi- ately in reduced taxation. That great breeder of public and private eXtrava- gance, the excess profits tax, should be revised and recourse had to customs taxes on imports, one of the most wholesome of all means of raising reye- nue, for it is voluntary in effect, and taxes consumption rather than produc- ton. It should be laid according to the needs of a creditor nation, for the protection of the public, with pdr- pose to render us both economically and defensively independent.
 Reduction of Extravaganza
 "A revision of taxation must be ac- conpanied with a reduction of that private extravaganza which the re- turns from luxury taxes reveal as sur passing all comprehension. WaivinS the moral effect, the economic effect of such exaravagance is to withdraw needed capital and labor from Asen- tiaI industries greatly increasing the public distress and unrest.
 There has been profiteering. It should be punished because it is wrong. But idle to look to such action for relief. This. class profit by scare I.y, but they do not cause it.
 Lack of Railroad Facilities
 "One of the chief hindrances to production is lack of adequate railroad facilities. Transportation must be re- established. A few gIaring instances in the past of improper management join ed with an improper public attitude thereby created, wrought great harm to our railroads. Government operation left them disinterg-ated. disorganfzed, and demoraIized. On their service de- bends agriculture and industry-the entire public welfare. They must be provided with credit and capital and given power to serve. This can only be done by removing them from spec ulation, restoring their prosperity by increased revenues. where necessary, thereby reestablishing them in the confidence of the investing public Their employees must be compensated in accordance with the great import ance of the service they render. The whole railroad operation must be re- stored to public confidence by public support.
 Altitude Toward Industry
 There must be a different public attitude toward industry, a larger com prehension of the interdependence of capital, management and labor, and better facilities for the prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes. It is well to remember, too, that high prices produce their own remedy under the law of supply and demand. Already in the great leather and woolen industries there is reces- sion in the basic clements which must soon be reflected in retail prices, When buying stops prices come down.
