The session that has just come to a close has been an eminently suc- cessful one. Our debates and our iectures’ have been interesting and profitable and our social events even- ings of unalloyed pleasure. We fixed the blame for the great HKuropean war now raging: we settled that great labor problem of compulsory arbitra- tien and another evening was given over to a discussion of woman ‘ suffrage, much to my personal dis- comfiture, being pitted as I was in oebate against one of our most elcquent speakers. Then we called on TUncle fam to give us a one cent letter postage.

He 15 well qualified 'to do so, For years he was a maker of laws himsclf. and now his responsible public trust entails upon him the enforcement of one of the most impcertant acts ever adopted Ly the Connecticut legislature. The Lyceum has been extremely fortunate in getting this gentleman to comec here and address us this evening, and 7 deem it an honor to introdu you Compensation George B. Chandler; It Can’t Bo-Done.

The world is full of dreamers who believe In a magical shortcut to make this world as peaceful as heaven by the legislation of laws.

The usual resolve it to tax the thrifty for the benefit of the unthrifty. The trouble with this is, he said, is that it does harm to those It tries to help. It teaches the people to lean upon someane else. It raises a race of weaklings which will ulti- mately die out and disappear. An example of this is demonstrated in the tropic regions where the peo- ple take things easy, where the fruit almost drops from the trees. No single race bred under these candi. tions amounts to anything in this world. It has never heen heard that the people of the tropic reglons have done anything wonderful for civili- zation while in contrast the - people bred in the colder zones had accom- plished wonders.

Germany As “Horrible Example.” The passing of too many laws gov- erning the individuals i{s laying the foundation of the decay of the Amer- can public. By doing this the nation plants seeds for evils not apparent today but which wili be apparent in a generation ' or two. ' The answer, he said, to this is at present demonstrated across the waters where In Germany the thoughts of the individuals are wrapped up in the state.

But the (ilg ~subsequently appeared and to< dgy ‘men of a high degree of integ- rity* and men of fine qualities and even clergymen are defending the most atrocious acts of the country, such as the sinking of the Lusitania and the march of the Germans through Belgium. Thus he sald we would come to the goal by our own efforts, when we have laws to teach the boys and | Birls to be shiftless, idle, and a com- peteht race would take the place of the unworthy ene. The present tendencies of legisla- tion he said, is to regulate every one clse’s life and by and by the legisla- ture would be attending to every- body’s business and would have no time for its own. A vote of thanks was given Mr. Chandler and those who so gener- ously contributed in making the ban- quet such a success.

It.attracted a large number of members from various parts of the state and they were en- thusiastic over the program. The afternoon session was extreme- v interesting. A gold edal con- test, six young ladies compeung. was 1 feature of the program. Miss Merie Bradley of Forestville, using the iecitation: ‘“The Convict's Warning,” was declared the winner by the judges. She was presented with a gold medal by O: L. Judd, principal of the local schools, on behalf of the union. Awards were also given for the gen- eral excellence of their recitation to Miriam Taylor of Windsor, Lillian Newberry of Warehouse Point, Hazel Wedge of Plantsville, Gladys Schaefer of Windsor and ANce Westbrook of Last Hartford. 3 The convention was brought to a close late in the afternoon with the singing of the W. C. T. U. anthem: ““A Saloonless Nation.” The visiting delegates extended many compliments to-the local members and the ladies of The Methodist church for the excellent manner in which the arrangements for the affair had been made. They were deeply appreciative of the cor- dial reception given them and they gave a vote of thanks to the Plainville managers. Needs Seri Thought, Writing to the New York Times to explain his reasons for adding muni- tions of war to the list of products of his factory, John H. Trumbull, presi- dent of the Trumbull Manufacturing company, declares that the people are 100King to the officials at Washington to give the sinking of the Lusitania serious thought, weighing well the loss and gain of the nation rather than an individual before taking any steps that | might lead to placing lives or Ameri- cans in jeopardy.

Mr. Trumbull’'s brother, Isaac B, lost his life when the Lusitania was sent to the bottom by a German sub- warine and his body is now on its way back to the United States for burial. In his letter he says: ‘“While we feel that the sinking of the Lusitania was downright murder on a whole- sale plan, still, 1 do not consider it a basis sufficiently strong to warrant jeopardizing the lives of the citizens of the United States by entering into war with foreign countries, and 1 thoroughly realize that this is a time when we look for the executives of our national government to give the matter serious thought, weighing well the loss and gain of a nation, rather than that of any one individual This is the policy which we have en- deavored to carry out through our own business, and while we cannot help entertaining the feeling of re- sentment which exists at the present time, still we have not for a moment permitted this feeling to have any hearing on our business policies, or our desire to see fair play at every ge of the game."

They commenced their argument outdoors and were finishing it in a lively manner in the kitchen when Mrs. Wajajenko, who does the house- work for her board, tried to act as peacemaker, Kaminski did not take kindly to arbitration and at once com- menced to show it by brutally striking the old woman on the chin. The blow pitched her upon a ot stove near- by. Then a miniature European battle spouse, In court this morning Kaminski claimed that his wife's sister tries to boss his house.
