COMMUNICATED. “The Poor, Poor Doctors!” Some Per- tinent Comment on the Case. To the Editor of the Herald. Sir:—It was with much interest that I read your editorial in last night's Herald, on “The High Cost of Living,—and Dying.” So the poor doctors are also feeling the effect of high prices, are they? and wish to ad- vance their prices? Well they don’t any of them look it, but all appear to be making a comfortable living at their profession. At present, a doctor is considered a ‘“‘necessary evil,” and no one likes to call one into their home unless ab- solutely nece: ry, but if they ad- vance their prices, they will become a luxury, and entirely beyond the reach of the working class of people. As usual, the honest have to suffer for the dishone and if all people paid their doctor’s bills as well as their other debts, the doctors wouldn’t be suffering, as they are doing- Doc- tor's expect to lose on their patients, and send in their bills accordingly. and gratefully accept what is paid them. From personal experience dur- ing the past, I have found such to be the case and you really can't blame | people for keeping the doctors waiting when they can charge you exorbitant > where they are in a sition to make as many calls as | they think best, and where they think | people have a few doilars in back of | them. No fear of the doctors “for- getting” to charge thelr prices! Far from it! As for their ‘night calls, don’t they receive more for a night call? Just send for a doctor at about 9 p. m. and see if he doesn't put off the call until 10, when the night rates &0 into effect. The poor, poor doc- tors! , A READER. ew Britain, Conn.

Your comments on the calary are to the point. It is an as- sumed fact that some exceptions are made as to salary and two thousand dollars or more may be paid to cer- tain in its employ who are not college graduates. In as much as many towns no longer receive average attendance grants the State Board of Education is “in” some twenty to thirty thousand dollars over its available moneys of a year ago. Some one might ask why a few dollars of this might not be used to pay a college graduate, It happens that the state is con- ducting educational courses at Yale and endeavoring to have all its teachers join and become college graduates. Probably the idea is to have all its teachers join and become college graduates and not worth over $750 a year. In this case the saving over present salaries would in many cases be very great and the State Board of Education a benefactor to ieachers and to its taxpayers. is great educational engineering hould place Connecticut first in ihe Union in education.

C., Jan. 8.—"“The Morava Valley, along which the al- lied German and Austro-Hungarian t1oops are pushing forward to a junc- tion with the Bulgarians, forms the core of old Servi according to a primer of war geography just given cut by the National Geographic Society, which describes Servia's lar- gest river and the Servian link in the historic route between Iurope and Asia. ‘‘The greatest part of Servia's trade flows through this valley, and kere, also, is much of the small king- Gem’s richest agricultural land. More- cver, it is through this narrow strip lowland that the mountainous Balkan country has maintained its centact with the West, a contact not elways advantageous, “The Morava Valley forms one of those famed troughs across European vplands along which armies have poured throughout all history, and many a powerful host has passed over the course that the Teutonic soldiers are taking today. When Constanti- nople, the golden capital of the Em- pire of the East, was in the zenith of its glory, its generals held back Slav incursions in battles fought beside the Morava River. Some of the crusaders marched this way, crossing into Asia Minor at Byzantium, and, while on their way through territories cf Eastern Orthodox Christians, these exuberant Franks and Teutons often kept the people guessing as to whether the crusade was planned saainst the ern Church or against Mohammedans. The conquering Turks reversed the lines of march, and swarmed down the valley to the gates of Vienna, itself; and, since the break- ing of the Ottoman power, the Ger- man peoples have been looking up the valley to commercial expansion beyond, in the rich, though stagnant, areas of Asia Minor and Mesopotamia. “The. Morava River is not only Ser- via's largest river; it is one of the most important in the Balkans. The line of the Orient Express, coming from Paris, from Munich and from Vienna, parallels the river, and stops long enough in Belgrade and Nish for one to wonder about the towns Levond. A large part of the export from Germany and Austrio-Hungary to the Balkans and to' Turkey passes this way in normal times, and the raw materials of Servia find their way down the river to the factories in the north. “The Morava River is formed by ‘*he union of the Servian Stolac, and of the southern and western Morava. It is about 240 miles long, and is navigable for more than 50 miles from its mouth. Rafts, flat-bottomed boats and shallow-draught steamers are operated over this course. An eas- ern branch of the stream rises close to the Bulgarian boundary, while the southern Morava rises near Uskup. It empties into the Danube 30 miles east of Belgrade, at Semendria. Among the more important towns along its course are Tagodina, Chupria, Parachin, Kragejevatz, Kruchev , Gurgusevatz, Lescovatz, WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discu: changes that com Herald Office. Ivini’s Succe: (Waterbury Republican.) There are many young people who have ambitions to become great stars of the stage, of the music world, of the art world. To their attention, the following excerpt from an editorial of the New York Evening Post on the death of Salvini, the greatest tra- gedian, is called: Artistr; artisanship, if you please —raised him to his heights. Nature gave him the implements arduous study, under competent instruction and example, in a long course of stock company drudgery, taught him how to use them. He of course was a genius. That was one reason why he was a patient, industrious and apt scholar, The successful practise of art, of any kind demands labor and instruction, as well as capacity. Not every aspiring actor can become a Salvini, but, with ordinary intelli- gence, industry, and thorough instruc- tion in the rudiments, no theatrical beginner need despair of ultimate succes: Without training schools there be no great actors. And the only known, tried, and proved good school is the stock company. No great actor ever came out of any other. And as with great actors, so with great painters, great sculptors, great musicians, great engineers. The train- ing is really had 'in the days of that drudgery from which the young seek escape, and against which they com- plain so loudly, at’times. The drud- gery is the refining process and if one cannot stand it one cannot hope to become great, for one will be unpre- pared, when the test of greatness comes. Patience and perseverance and hard, conscientious work are essential to the success of even those who are born with superior talents can The Irish Beat Columbus. (Washington Post.) The recent presentation of a paper before a joint meeting of the Amer- icanists and the American Historical Society, tending to show that the shores of America were visited by Hi- bernian sailors long before Columbus ventured raises most interest- and if the hypothesis be correct, explains several things which have been hitherto regarded as in the nature of mysteri: How did the Indian war whoop originate? A plausible explanation suggested by this new view is that it was imitative in origin, being the re- sult of the deep impression made upon the simple savage mind in listening to the sonorous shouts of those early landing parties of Celtic sailors. And the war club, the use of which sug- gested to many early pioneers long practice in twirling it on the part of the aborigines—is it not clearly de- rived from the shillelah? The wild syrations of war clubs above the heads of savages around the camp fire logically carry us back to the mu terings of Ulster and Connaught the time of King Conchobar— When blue eyes flashed And heads were smashed Shillelahs never miss fire, sir. Linguistic investigations tend to the same conclusion that aboriginal life was strongly affected by tions from the Emerald Tsle. wow, though said to be an Tndian | word, is found in early Gaelic, thoush | in disjointed from “pow” being a cor- | ruption of “poll,” the head which was commonly and ‘wow’ expressing the result. Both Trish and Scottish bards have noted this use of the word “wow” in connection with various sorts of surprises. Thus | we have in Tam o' Shanter: i And, wow. Tam saw an unco sight! ' Whether the name of Powhatan was derived from this ancient Gaelic word “pow” or not, he was at least | ymething of a head-hitter. if we may believe the t mony of Capt. John Smith, whose eratitude to Pocahontas for es Americanized shille- lah isof record. And here there is still stronger evidence: “Poca” is Gaelic for ‘“a bag,” and the celerity with W in hit, ng the regular | cilable | tory which Pocahontas bagged the Eng- lish Rolfe is almost conclusive evi- dence that she had Irish in her blood, a circumstance quite in accord with the strenuosity of John Randolph and others of her descendants. The tedium of the historical narra- tive will be in a considerable degree relieved if it is found that American Indian ghost dances are mere vestigial echoes of ancient ceremonies at Donnybrook and Kilkenny and that the powess of Black Hawk, Sitting Bull and Geronimo emanater from the same sort of vibrations that dom- inated the souls of Lavgaire MacNeill, Brain Boroimhe and Dermed Mac- murrough. Immigration Laws. (New Haven Union.) Owing to the awakening in America cver the problem the nation faces with respect to the aliens within our gates it is certain that a most deter- mined effort will be made this year to pass legislation further restricting immigration. Despite the fact that President Wil- son and former President Taft each vetoe an immigration act, because they were not satisfied that the “liter- acy” test provision was advisable, it is known that both the house and sen- ate are overwhelmingly in favor of legislation which will prevent a flood of undesirable Europeans to the United States at the close of the war. Furthermore it is expected legisla- tion will be enacted which will tend to increase naturalization in America. Officials, under present world-wide conditions, are becoming alarmed over the fact that hundreds of thousands of foreigners in this country, who bave lived here many vears, and are now property owners, have made no move in the direction of becoming citizens. Legislation which would require a foreigner to show cause why he should not be deported if he took no steps toward becoming a citizen after living here a number of years, will be considered. It has been pointed out that in ome etates foreigners, who have taken out their first papers, are- eligible to vote, vet they cannot be called on for jury duty or for military service. This is true in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Indiana and Arkansas. Mr. Bird’s Demand. (Newark Evening News.) If the views of Birl, former leader of the progressive party Massachusetts, and of Wil- liam Howard Taft, defeated republi- can candidate for president in 1912, are to be taken as representing the opinions of the progressive ' and “regular” wings-of the antidemocra- tic strength in the country, there is little hope that the Chicago conven- tion will be able to find a candidate upon whom both wings can unite in support. Mr. Bird practically limits the choice of the convention to Hugh- es or Roosevelt. Mr. Taft thinks the nomination of Roosevelt is im- possible. Now we doubt if either of these two gentlemen speaks for any very considerable body of his fellow coun- trymen. We do not believe that Roosevelt or Hughes are the only men whose candidacy would be ceived with favor by former progres- sives, nor do we believe that many republicans are irrecon as to invite democratic by refusing to support a can- didate tainted with progressivism. Charles Sumner in Church Unity and Peace. (New Haven Journal Courier) It is reported that the reading on Tuesday of the Pope's letter plead- ing for church unity before the Pro- testant gathering at Garden City, Long Island, created a deep and ra- ther dramatic impression. There was reason why it should. At a moment when many have despaired of Chris- tianity as a guiding power in a time of unprecedented stress, the plea for church unity comes with positivp dramatic force. To head of the Roman church the project of the Protestant convention, that only through the united faith of the Christian church could lasting peace come and remain. made the strong appeal it could have been expected to make. “In the midst of the European conflict,” said McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN'S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” OURANNUAL MID-WINTER CLEARANCE SALE Remarkable Values in Winter Coats 3 All Coats marked down for this sale, & Now is the time to clothe the CHILD, the MISS, the grown up WOMAN when you can buy Winter Coats at such extremely low prices during our Clearance Sale.
