When tais is done the question is what will the liquor .element do, and by that is included not only those who are actually en- gaged in the business but those who are in sympathy with regulating thne liquor business and they constitute a very large portion of the voting pop- ulation of the country. It is not pos- sible for this element and the prohibi- tionists to travel together and so it would seem as things look now. that the national conventions next Year will be interesting bodies and that the campaigns will be fought out on some peculiar issues. OHURCHES AND RURAL SURVEY. Professor William B. Bailey, as- sistant professor of Christian sociology at Yale, delivered an address on the rural church problem and what he chose to call the rural survey at the university yesterday. His point evi- dently was that there are too many churches in some communities and if the number was lessened and a sort che proper authoritics side-step when it comes to executing a woman, cven though the tutes _demand Managers of dinners where oratory is a feature should take a leaf from the book of a South African tribe which long since learned how to des effectively with hores, In this tribe long speeches are considered injurious 1o both speaker and audience, so it is an accepted for every public speaker fo stand one leg while making his address. The minute his other foot goes to the ground it is a recognized signal that he is througa talking.—Providence Journal, custom on It seems that the story of a guard at Sing Sing selling Whisky viets is true, but also that covery of the sale was made and re- ported by prisoners, acting honestly under the new understanding of their duty and responsibility to help main- tain discipline instead of helping to destroy it. 1f the account now given to the public is correct it is one of the strongest indications yet afforded of the practical working of the daring scheme undertaken by ‘Warden Osborne.—Hartford Times. West Virginia went “dry" a short time ago, and as a result the state is now broke. There isn't enough money in the treasury to par even the governor's salary, and the administra- tion is facing a deficit of $1,000,000 Business men, seeking @ way out of financial difficulties, are circulating petitions asking the governor to call a special session of the legislature “to authorize another vote of the peo- ple of the statc on the question of as of community spirit established tae result would be more beneficial. When a man rises to discuss religion and churches he is apt to say things that a large number of people dis- like, Prof. Bailey inquires how many churches in Connecticut were started from spite and says he would like to know. If an effort was made to decrease the number of churches with the sug- gestion that those who attend the smaller ones would. be better off by uniting with the stronger congrega- tions, it would in effect be striking against that of worship which we all like to believe is a part of our rights and privileges in this state. The constitution guarantees to every man the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience and if he in company with otiers, the number does not matter, chooses to hold services in accordance with that idea then he.is enjoying his rights guaranteed by the constitu- tion, His form of worship may not appeal to those who attend services in the larger and more beautiful edi- fices, but who is to say that the little band of worshippers do not receive as much religious consolation in their humble place as those in the larger and more pretentious buildings. “Where two or three are gathered to- gether in my name,” says the Saviour, “there I.am™In their midst.” The Salvation Army does not excite the large of otherwise religious people, but it feeds the hungry and helps the oppressed and that is surely a good which no one can offer objections. freedom number work, to It will never do to attempt to un- dermine the lesson taught in the con- stitution that there should be freedom If a congrega- tion chooses as a matter of conven- ience or policy to unite with churches that is theix affair, but when one who has no particular interest in that churca but-who rathér because of an individual opinion advises that it be done, then it seems as if he is stepping outside of his sphere and sug- gests that they deprive themselves of to which they are.legally entitled and which, according to general belief, brings them that peculiar peace of mind that other The rural survey is a good idea, be- cause it apparently seeks to ascertain what a community requires in order that it may best serve its people and its needs. = There is no reason to be- lieve, however, that even fter the in- formation is obtained that with the difference of opinion among the peo- ple that it will have any practical value except that people will just where “they stand in relation to matters which they did not know be- fore were considered essential for their welfare as an enterprising com- munity, A great many men wio, in the world of letters, are reputed to be average in spend the greater part of their days in dealing in theories and explaining as the Dublin chambermaid did when she told her landlord how to place eleven men in ten bedrooms and give know above the intelligence each man a room. continuing or abrogating state prohi- bition of the sale and manufacture of liquor.”—Bridgeport Telegram.

Tt d oes not mean that trees planned on Arbor day will opsitively thrive, or that they will grow any better than as if set out the day be- fore or the day after, but there is need of a concerted endeavor in every state for giving special consideration to nature and for the encouragement of beautification of home grounds and streéts. The setting aside of par- ticular day calls forth greater atten- tion and a better response than as if it ‘was_left to the individual to re- spond when he pleased to such an im- | portant matter. It is also a day with | its educational value.—Norwich DBul- letin. Bring Back the Birds. (Chicago Journal.) cannot American and nature lovers 1 a hanner year for birds? We ought to preserve the birds for their own sake, for their beauty, their | song, their vivid life that adds vastly to the attractiveness of ficld and grove. But if not for these sentimen- tal reasons—which are the sanest of all—then let us foster bird life be- cause it is necessary to the prosperity of the land, because it will eld the biggest kinds of returns in cash, Birds are the great natural des- troyers of noxious insects. The stomach of a ycllow billed cuckoo shot at 6 o'clock in the morn- ing contained partly digested remains of forty-three tent caterpillars. Heaven only knows how many more the bird would have eaten before night. The stomach of four chikade con- tained 1,028 eggs of the canker worm. The stomach of a single robin exam- ined at the State laboratories of Illin- ois contained 175 larvae which prey on grass roots. Brookline, Mass., after fighting vainly with sprays the insects which were destropiny its shade trees, sent out a Macedonian cry for the birds, put ut food for them in winter, nests in summer, ' punished any onc who shot or frightened them. The birds came back, and the moths and bugs went out. Last i the town was free from tree-destroying pests, while outside, in the shotgun areas, the fi- nest old groves were being stripped and ruined. It would pay every cominunity in | Thinois to follow the example of Brookline.
