Of5 ation wide prohibition 1di before: an - audience @ 6f those. who = have re- ¢ r denounced, King Alcohol all his cohorts. To have taken the psite stand would have been a stroke of diplomacy on the of any- politician,—and Mayor ey has yet to be numbered out- that select circle known as the ute.” It.gwas theréfore a « ten- e when the Mayor, with the deur that is 'nis, stepped to the it of the stage and' flung to the jous auditors this bit of a platitude, atitude because men have oft ut- it before, Prohibition is one of vital questions before the Ameri- People, and if my vote would e for nation wide prohibition I d cast it now. Or words to that Pt. And while prating anent the ies of national prohibition the or inadvertently stepped on the of state prohibition. He decried form of dryness. It amounts to hing, this making of states dry, ks the Mayor. We must have all pothing. If we cannot be grand Fa stars we shall not go into mus- comedy,or mayhap burlesque. No! ation wide prohibition cannot be ght about, then away with this of putting the ban on individ- states. And yet the Mayor neg- to reconcile himself with the that if the states went at this £ properly it would not be very long pre each and every state in the on would be dry; and when forty- it individuals who make up a given ple party adopt the same course, by one, the. effect is just the same f they acted unanimously at the . And there are those who be- @ that if nation wide prohibition becomes a reality, as many be- e it will, thisis just the wayit is hing. For this reason: No man in the ted States is big enough, holy ugh, sanctified enough, to tell all other men and women. in the fed States what is and what is good for them. And when Mayor gley contemplates casting a vote t would make the entire United jt dry he essays a task that is as ntic as any Solomon ever attempt- ven to the marrying of three hun- women. But we are not growing ‘much alarmed. We know the yor wolld not do such a thing. He too much consideration for tae pole of a free ,and independent ntry.

ARLINGTON. ington, Virginia, = hitherto fa- only as the site of our national rying ground, bids fair to occupy place in history equal to that of iy community its size in the world,— ere are not three hundred people, ng, in Arlington. It was from one of the great wire- towers at Arlington, where the nited States government maintains z‘ant, thag, the ireless tele- e Mmessage’ wal across the ptinent connecting with a station California. A few dags later an- her message was let g6 from Arling- and that time-its objective point as Honolulu, the Hawaiian Islands, ay out in the Pacific, Now comes the news that another and greater ac- complishment has taken place,—the wireless stretched out in another di- rection and carried the human voice to Paris. What is more marvelous, attalk was made to Paris and Hono- lulu at the same time, And again, ‘someone in Holland caught a few words that were sent out over this latest successful radio telephonic ex- periment. Arlington has come into the limelight, not as the home of the dead patriots of the nation, but as the place where real live Americans are accomplishing things that may turn topsy-turvy the entire present day methods of communicating with the far ends of the earth. What the future has in store only Arlington knows. All eyes are therefore on Arlington. THANKSGIVING DUE. Newspapers coming in the class of seculars have no particular right to launch forth in ecclesiastical and preach the gospel,—indeed news- papers very seldom undertake to do such things. But at this particular time when the President of the United States, following the custom of many vears, issues a proclamation of Thanksgiving, the newspapers may with all due'respect call the attention of the churches to what wonderful sermons could be preached next Sun- day anent the goodness of Divine Providence in dealing with these United States of America during the past year when the rest of the world is practically at war. The Presi- dent has called attention to the fact that we have been able to assert our rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship with the greater nations with whom we have had to deal. At peace with the world, when the 'world is at war. Surely that is something for which to be thankful. And next Sunday is indeed timely for the call- ing attention to this condition. Since last Thanksgiving Day many things have happened to try the souls of men. In their journeyings through it all there may have been times when the purely material things of life overshadowed all thoughts of a spiri- tual existence, when the rumblings of the earth shut out from their vision the blue skies of heaven, when the thoughts of a Supreme Being were entirely banished. That is the pic- ture we may imagine in the particular part of the globe visited by the great god Thor. But here in our cis-At- lantic security we have had a more serene outlook on things in general. Many blessings have been heaped up- on us, for which we should be thank- ful. We have nearly everything ths human heart could desire,—bountiful crops, great financial resources, a broad spirit of brotherhood, a .char- ity for all, opportunities to extend the helping hand, plenty of health, the power and ability to assert our rights, the vigor to carry on commerce, the respect for our institutions they de- roles | where he favors | ancient democratic FACTS AND FANCIES.

Cupid seems to be the busiest em- ploye at the White House these days. The nation was just adjusting itself to the welcome of a new first lady of the land after giving its enraptured atten- tion to every detail of two recent White House weddings, and now al- most simultaneously the announce- ment comes of the prospective felicity of Miss Hagner, the social guide, philosopher and friend of the Roose- velt and Taft administrations, and likewise of Dr, Cary Grayson, the president’s indefatigable and omni- present aid. It does not reauire further inquisitorial commissions to establish the' cupidity of the present democratic regime. — Philadelphia Ledger. A map of the Balkans is “‘ke a jig- saw puzzle. Every state sticks into another, one thrusts as a wedge be- tween two, here and there a boundary line suggests fingers reaching out. That might seem symbolic. Bul- garia, on the extreme southwest, pokeg a thumb into Serbia. In the end of the thumb, at Strumitza, troops had been gathered for an assault upon the Serbian railway from Saloniki to Nish, over which the Anglo-French allies were moving. The railway has to run past the end of the thumb, so close as almost to touch it. The Bul- garians evidently pounced upon the railroad, were whipped back and lost the end of their thumb. Strumitza and other points from which the rail- road could be menaced have been occupied by the Anglo-French forces. —New York Times. Six Prussian officers (supposed to be “gentlemen” and above breaking their word of honor) and five sailors (rated merely as men and taken along to do the hardest work) are roaming about the Atlantic after escaping from the Norfolk navy vard. Suppose they cross the Atlantic and reach a Ger- man port, what will be done with and to them? Recently the French gov- ernment Tebuked and returned to Switzerland a French aviator who made his escape after posting a letter to the Swiss commandant revoking his parole. To every serious-minded per- son the getaway of these young men will be no joke. A stigma is cast on the whole German navy which it should be eager to remove. It is no pleasant thing to think that in the rersonnel of one ship could be found as many as six officers disregardful of the most solemn of personal obliga- tions.—New York Globe. h Abandoning the Dardanelles. serve, the greater love for mankind and a feeling of pride in the Stars and Stripes of America. What more could we want? Surely some gentle- man of the cloth, with the time and the inclination, could bury himself in his own sanctum sanctorum for three or four hours in the cool of one of these clear moonlight evenings and unburden his soul of a sermon that would ring with the true spirit of Thanksgiving; a sermon that would make the most calloused in his con- gregation weep for very joy; a ser- mon that would keep awake the most drowsy; that would cause the veriest sinner to repent; that would make the just man better, and the indiffer- ent man good.. Here then is an op- portunity that should not be cast away. It is time that some suitable Thanksgiving be made for all the blessings that have been showered upon us by a bounteous Providence. This is really funny. Senator Kern, of Indiana, would save money for the national defense by pressing into service uniforméd members of fraternal orders that are wont to go out on dress parade. He mentions the Knights of Pvthias, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Knights of Columbus, and others, all of whom stir his blood when he sees them march behind a big brass band. Did it ever occur to Senator Kern that when these fellows parade about one- half knows how to keep step and the other half is too old to keep up with the procession? This is not any aspersion cast lightly on the ‘‘bovs;” but, as a matter of fact, any ordin- ary volunteer fire department would turn out a better batallion of tin' sol- diers than the average fraternal or- der. Most of the good fellows in these organizations were built for comfort, not speed. The men of the British Isles who ignore the call to arms and talk ahboyt fighting the .draft must think the women of Serbia, crazy because they are volunteering for service at the front and fighting like mad.when they get there, just like the men folk. —=Syracuse Journal. (New Haven Union.) Tt is Tumored the Allies may aban- don the Dardanelles action to send the large forces engaged there to the succor of Serbia, With Germany, Austria, conquered Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey stretch- ing in an unbroken line across Europe, the German power would be within easy striking distance of Suez. With Suez in German hands the Eritish domination of the seas would come to a sudden end. Triumphs over the Turks would be of small mo- ment if Serbia was conquered. In fact it would be doubtful if the Allies could hold Turkey after they had con- quered it should the Austrians and Germans overrun Serbia. The cap- ture of Suez by the Teutonic allies would sever the British Emire. Egypt, of course, would be handed tack to Turkey, and German domina- tion in India would be practically certain. Australia and New Zealand, hovelessly separated from the mother country, would probably be compelled at least to sever the imperial connec- tion and set themselves up as inde- pendent states under German tolera- tlon. London is awakening to the fact that what happes in Serbia is of vast import to the British Empire. Here- tofore the English have been fighting largely for Belgium and France. Now the Empire itself is threatened. Ap- parently the utility of the seasoned troops at Gallipoli would be far greater in Serbia than where they are. That Serbia left alone could repe] the invaders is possible but not probable. Having been at war almost constantly for four years, Serbia scarcely can hope to defeat the expeditions from Austria and Germany. It is up to the Alliegs to move quickly. On what the strategists at London and Paris de- cide to do in this crisis may hang the outcome of the world's greatest war. No Occasion For Hunger. (Kansas City Star.) An English town council, after a protracted sitting was desirious of ad- journing for lunch. The proposition was opposed by the Mayor, who thought that if his fellow officeholders felt the stimulus of hunger the dispatch of business would be much facilitated. At last a ra- ther illiterate member got up and exclaimed: “I ham astonished, 1 ham surprised, T ham amazed, Mr. Mayor, that you will not let us go to lunch!” “And I am surprised,” replied the Mayor, “that a man who has got so much ‘ham’ in his mouth should want any lunch at all.” It is so far from alleged crime to trial | WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office. No Compensation For “Fooling-” (New Haven Register.) Male human nature has a tendency beginning very early, to a sort of ex- ercise conveniently and more or less accurately described as ‘“fooling.” : Two or more fellows associated in work will work off their spare energy or possibly energy which they cannot well spare, in wrestling or wrangling or fisticuffs or some other form of | pseudo-physical exercise. Sometimes it is the teasing of the bully; gener- ally it is the senseless sport of those Wwho haven’t trained their muscles to use or their minds to think, and must “work off steam” in some way or other. It begins with the boy at school or play; it continues to grown and sometimes middle aged men at work. Not infrequently it has its serious consequences, as observers have often seen. Wranglers will strain a back or break a bone or put out an eye. Sometimes, as in a case which recent- ly happened in Connecticut, one will break the skin of another with a stick pointed with poisoning verdigris. In that case the resulting blood poison- ing caused death, and because the men were supposed to be at work at the time, the friends of the victim took action against the employer un- der the Connecticut compensation law. The case has just gone against the claimants, the commissioners ruling that the law was never meant to held employers responsible for injuries re- ceived in such a manner. It's a sensible decision, and one in which employers will have satisfac- tion. There can be no compensation for injuries received in fooling. There should be no thought of such a thing. Those senseless enough to indulge in such things must take their own risk. The pity is that those who innocently suffer from the results of tHeir fooling are likewise unprotected. But when will society ever have protection against the foolishness of some of its members? If that time ever comes, we shall have Utopia. Five Centuries of Hohenzollerns. (Meriden Record.) The five hundredth anniversary of the accession to power of the House of Hohenzollern was celebrated throughout Germany Thursday. By order of the kaiser, the observance took the form of ceremonies at the schools and churches, and the great public celebration planned for several years past was given up, at the sug- gestion of the emporer. Five centuries ago Frederick I of Nuremburg, who had rendered great service to Sigismund, emperor of Germany, was made supreme commander of the Marches ot Brandenburg. On October 21, 1415, Frederick for the first time received the homage of his subjects as the elector of the Holy German Empire in Brandenburg. His official title was ‘“Margrave of Nuremburg.” From this beginning, the ascendency of the House of Hohenzollern has been con- stant and complete. Its members became dukes of Prussia in 1618, kings of Prussia in 1701 and German emperors in 1871. Stored-Up Wages. (New Haven Journal-Courier.) The bank commissioner for the State of Connecticut reports to Gover- nor Holcomb that the increase in the savings banks for the year ending September 30, 1915, amounts to $10,670,591. The total amount of de- posits in the banks of the state at the close of the fiscal year was the mag- nificent sum of $822,560,462. The great amount of this money belongs to the wage earners of the state, the men and women of small incomes. The deposits represent stored up values, on the other hand. This money values, on the other hald. This money has been invested in the various ways anthorized by the state and is just as susceptible to demagogic and experi- mental legislation as the money of the richest man in the country. No one has a greater interest in wise legisla- tion, In adherence to sound legisla- tive philosophy and to honest political leadership than the thousands who own this vast sum of money. Their savings would earn nothing if it were not for the honest protection of all forms of property by a wise and watchful government. Experimental- istg should be given a _hearing but their motives should be carefully seru- tinized. War Reviscs Whiskers. (Schenectady Union.) Whiskers are coming back. The war in KEurope seems destined to have the same effect on mankind over there that the Civil War had on men of the United States. War is conducive to whiskers. The inconvenience of shaving, even in this age of safety razors, puts a pre- mium on full beards. Then, too, a HEADACHE FROM A COLD? LISTEN !

AN T 154 SRIOSs s~ = QUIT MEAT WHEN BACK HURTS OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Says Uric Acid in Meat clogs Kid- neys and irritates bladder. A glass of Salts is harmless way to flush Kidneys, says authority. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paraiy- zes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid- ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obli ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in | a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize, the acids in urine, o0 it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, and makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink, ———————————————————————————— beard gives a man a warlike' appear- ance. If you doubt it, look at the pictures of some ot the Russian troops and doubt no more. If this tyle become obligatory we may well engage in fasting and prayer to escape a fate so terrible. A look through any old family album in existence is enough to give one hypo- chondria. Those wooden old ancestors of ours, with their long beards, short beards, and, worst of all, those long, luxuriant side whiskers, are worse than the seventeen-year-old locust. Don’t you remember the fat men who insisted on wearing “burnsides”? Don't you recall with tears the spec- tacle some little shrimp of a bow- legged, pigeon-toed man, about five feet two inches tall, used to make when he sported long, flowing side whiskers, and then completed the crime by putting on a silk.hat? And worst of all was the chap who trained his long, sweeping mus- tache to grow on and on till he could pull it back to his ears. There is no question beard on a man whose chin flowed into his Adam’s apple without any | apparent dividing line was a help. It is true that there are some men so homely that whiskers that cover 'up enough of the facial horror so that it is safe for them to enter a jewelry store without stopping all the clocks in the establishment may be looked upon as a blessing. But these are the exceptions that prove the rule. We live in a com- paratively hairless age. For this let us bé thankful. If a man’s head is bald it's an ‘act of Providence. If he grows whiskers Providence ought to get busy. but that a ' President ElMott Getting Results. (Providence Journal) It is apparent from the annual re- port to the stockholders, made pub- lic yesterday, that the present man- agement of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford is meeting with success in its efforts to repair the damages caused by the monopoly-at- any-price policy of the previous ad- ministration. President Elliott emphatically states that, notwithstanding business conditions which cut down the earn- ing power of the property, the road is solvent. This is encouraging, in view of the fact that when Mr. Elliott was put in charge there was doubt | as to the ability of the New Haven to carry the load put upon it by reck- less and improvident financing. Aa unqaulified assurance of solvency means much to New England. But President Elliott, it should be noted, gives no promise of resumption of dividends at an early date. The road, he says, must first be brougnt up to a high standard of construction. This, he estimates, requires the spend- | ing of at least from $25,000,000 o | $30,000,000 in the next flve vears | above ordinary operating expenses | and fixed charges—part of this money to be taken from earnings and part from the sale of property and secur- | ities. The programme outlined in- dicates that the next step will be in the direction of permanent financing, and when this has been accomplish- ed, if revenues warrant it, a divi- dend declaration will be in order. The figures on damage paymenis and claims have no doubt about the | improvements in operating methods. The cost of injuries to passengers last year was $792,000 a decrease of $389,- | 000, and of this amount $485,000 was | on account of accidents which oc- | curred before July 1, 1914. Further- | more the estimated total of unpaid | personal injury claims on June 30 was $697,000, as compared with $1,- 042,000 a year earlier, and the e penditures for lossés, damages, injur- jes to persons and clearing wrecks was reduced . by $554,000. It is ap- | parent that operating efficieney had | something to do with making the net | income $2,307,000—an increase of $2- 029,000—notwithstanding a decrease of $2,073,000 in gross earnings, Serving a rich and populous part of the country, the New Haven has unsurpassed advantages.
