The Bulletin prints this morning an abstract of the blennial report of State Highway Commissioner Macdonald, Which 18 worthy of close perusal eince it gives a comprehensive view of the law in its entirety, of the misinter- pretations of the law, with a legal opinion of the attorney general of the state, and detatls of operation and a layout of the needs of the department which is edifying and justifying from start to finish. The commissioner, in the pursuance of his dutles for the past thirteen years, has had to deal with men of all sorts of political pro- cltvities, all kinds of personal megrims and all sorts of individual motives; and he knows just as well as The Bulletin does, that by scratching a Tartar you will ind & Turk, and that scratching & grafter you will find a political In- dian; and when any of these political Indlans have ventured to try to take khis scalp, the things refused to do furnished the motive rather than any- thing he had failed to do. His loy- alty to the law and his strict inter- pretation of it and his honest guarding of the state funds have made him e emies, of course; but he has always triumphed over them and arways hecause his public acts will end glare of the fullest publicity. & business report with not a . why or & wherefore missing; and his able conduct of the business lends favor to the recommendations which he makes and which should prompt the legislature to grant them, The men who delight Ir the firemen and knocking them est atter their most perilous tasks, are Just as common and constant to Ne England communities as the fellow who delights in saying, “I told you €o.” 1t is seldom that one of these hot venders gets what is coming tohim,but up 8t Manchester, N. H., the other day one of them did. He was overheard & fireman freely expressing his poor opinion of the men who “douse the glim” and when spoken to he was fierce In his assault upon the fighter of the flames, Before he knew it, the fault-finder was knocked into th dle of the street, He picked up and for & while was silent s to the fire fighting methods of the Man. chester department. The fireman sought the chief of police, told him of the episode, and said he was willir 10 pay the probably $20 fine whi 1 would be fmposed In case the assault- ed person mads a complaint, but the chlef assured him that he guessed thers would be no comeback and up to this time there never has been. Probably there never will be. When | “served him right” is’the sentiment in officialdom there is no danger of the flareback. The men who are al- ways knocking the firemen in any community are not model citizens, That one of them should have come to grief is a source of amusement rather than a cause for regret. INERTIA, THE DRAWBACK. Inertla ls more prevalent than we | think and to it are chargeable m: conditions which are attributed to oth- ers. When authorities will not move inany direction is oftener because of individual inertis than anything else ~—thera is nothing showing up among the people to indicate an fnterest which foreshadows popular support. ‘What communities do not do is trace- able stralght to the householders the you's and the I's of every settle. ment. The chairman of the board of health of a leading New England city says that “one of the most difficult things that come within the duties of the boards of health s to overcome the inertia of the Individual householder.” In some things we are too much like dead men; and the men we choose to occupy these places of trust and re- | sponsibility are not to blame if they think that a great many good eftizens are dead to sanitation, or too willing- ly the open prey to disease, We do not open our eyes to the necessities or perils of life, but seem content to just mope and dls. This is why we bhave heaps and piles of rubbish, un- sightly lots, more disease than we ought to and a larger deathrate than there is any defense for. The average man fs asleep to too many public mat- fers of importance—too much wrapped up In private thrift or comfort, to give sttention to public matters of grave dmport. The inertia of the individual s at the bottom of most of our sins of omission. jon price, 1Ze m week: G0e a ® year. £8000 of the 4,058 houses in Nor-: in Putnam and Danielson to over i 1,100, ana fn all of these places It} H declares n his James H. Macdonald biennial ‘report upon the state high- | ways that the gentlemen who run these motor carriages will push them to the highest attainable speed—that this Is the temptation of the chauf- feur, and, as we all know, his peril, it would appear to be useless to try through the mediumship of the law tc fix a speed limit. According to his view of she fleld the speed of an auto- mobile is the best speed which under the best circumstances the engine can make. From all that has happened, one cannot help being convinced that {he is nearer right than anyone likes to admit, and the question naturally resolves itself into this, “What is the state going to do about it If his premises are right, the thing which the law should limit is the number of horsepower the manufacturers shall put into an engine for highway use, and to compel the construction of ma. chines which can make only the time permitted by law—that the machine itself can be legally controllad better than the driver can be. This point of view The Bulletin has taken before, and it is pleaseq to be endorsed by so practical and eminent an authority as the highway commissioner of the state of Connecticut. A GREAT AMERICAN. In the sudden death of Peter Fen- clon Colller, the founder of Colller's Weelkly, a great American passed from the stage of action, He began active usiness life as a poor Irish boy forty years ago and worked his way up to the place of a great publisher. His career shows how the door of oppor- tunity opened before an energetic and ambitious American who was con- stantly striving for something higher. In describing him, ‘his son, Robert J. Colller, who succeeds to the manage. ment of Collier's Weekly, say “He was absolutely fearless, yet the gentlest, the most easily moved of men. He had friends in all walks of life, sprinkled all over the world. He worked hard and played hard, and he loved his fellow men, not theoreti- cally, but with & hearty and personal affection.” According to this excellent descrip- tion, Mr. Collfer had the push and the pull which tell for success. He kept his sweet and attractive personal qual- ities co-operating with his energetic advance from repalring the homes of men @s a carpenter to repairing the faults of men as an honest and fear- less editor. He made Collier's Week- & paper of national influence and power—a great property. AN OBJECTION. resolution of Roberts post, Army of the Republic, protest. ing against Vermont or St. Albans be- official host during the cele- Lration of the Champlain tercentenary to Col. Bennett Young of Kentucky, will precipitate discussion, to say the The Grand | least. As we understand it, Colonel Young, who led the raid against St. Albans during the eivil war was no nore nor less than a pirate and bush- | whacker., He was not recognized as a regular confederate officer, for his rald of St. Albans was simply the act of a lawless and irresponsible guerilla, rdly seems that it is keeping alive sectional spirit to object to re- this man as an honored guest municipality of Vermont.

The world is all right and our world is just what we make it. 1 pity the man or woman who when- ever they get a dollar look at it and know that they will not have all that they need untfl they can make it do the work of three dollars. There are more of these kind of people in the world than you and I think, and Easy street to them is always at the North nd—it is a long -walk and ten looks ahezd. Some of them have been im- prudent, but mot all of them—some bave been unfortunate—and want lin- gers about them like a fog over a swamp. They never quite get there— they only are given to see others on the fros hills of the promised land, I tell you it is a hard lot, and consid. ering ‘its permanency they are to be cheered for the brave fze they keep to a hopeless condition. do not won. der that they yearn for heaven—their lot makes them ever hungry for some- thing better. “I shall do it!” exclaimed a boy on the street of a recent evening, as he scratched a match to light a cigarett “I'm so bad now, I cannot well b worse!” and 1 wondered whose boy it was who was so giving himself up to'such complete abandonment, That was an awful speech to me if his com- panions did make light remarks and laugh; and I couldn’t help wondering it this wringer of the parental heart realized what he was saying—if he was réally conscious of being so bad, and was makirg no effort to be bette: 1t was indeed a frightful condition for one so young; and where does he ex- pect to get off? To purposely abandon ihe right 1§ to invite the worst for- tune of life and to prepare the way for a day when we ourselves may writhe. “He is not yet 20, and has $900 In the bank,” was what one man was telling another about a youngster who was making his own way in the world. This ix a fact worth talking about, for it is a_manifestation of ability, which promises well for the future of that youth. It is better to be an economist than a spendthrift at that age. To know the value of a bank account then presages a more abundant thrift later on. That is not a miserly spirit which promotes prudence early in life in money affairs, for with the abllity to keep money is often the knowledge how to spend it for one’s own good or the good of others—to spend it so that it will be a blessing to all con. cerned How to spend money is of as much consequence as how to earn it. We have all met the pleading little heggar who stands by the door of the moving picture show and saye: “Teke me in, mister” And we realize how we should like to take him in regard- less of his dirty face and begrimed hands if it were not for the fact that he is always there and might presum too much upon our generosity. We should like to be good to him; but we do not care to be a father to him every time that he wants to go to the circus. We are all of us more OF less frald of establishing precedents which n cases of this kind_soon become a permanent expense. But he s a win- ner and not a whiner, and the fact that he is constant at the door is the best evidence that he suc.eeds. althrazh wo | have not taken him in vet for fear he | may take us in continually. and_prompts_them to invent ways to sce basehall games. It is a game which seems to stir the genius in a boy if he has a spark in him. It has been dis- covered that the lad who is unable to see through a grindstone was never krown to fail to find a knothole in the baseball fencs if there was one. Base. ball makes the American boy deplore “the loss of his grandmother” and shed hot tears of grief when he is yearning to g0 to baseball instead of a funeral. It stirs up 21l the “hows to get there.” and by hook or by crook he reaches the knothole in_the fence if he cannot reach the bleachers The great Amer- ican game is an inspiration. Petty thefts are quite annoying, and they are tco common. Those wha take ribkons from a grave, or pretty flowers from a border, can never fully enjoy them because fhey were stolen, I pity the people who vield to temptation and sell themeelves and their peace of mind s ckeap. When T miss the pretty flow- ers that I have bought I think how much better they would feel had I given them to them, and how much better I should feel, too. The con- sciousness of having committed & thett takes the beauty from the thing st.len —to look upon a thing which we have acquired through dishonesty is to see cur own misdeed. That which reminds us of a theft cannot add to cur pleas- ure; apd pity it is that those who are tempted to steal do not realize this he fore the offense is committed. 1 like the man who tries to make a life pleasant, becas feel that e will not be careless of, or Inimical to, the lives of others when he attunes himseif properly to the life of a dog. The dog is a falthful creature, who deserves well of God's ' masterplece; nd if his subservience has brought him into derision, his better attributes ought to command the respect of the self-alleged superior animal. How any mari can abuse any creature God has created and look to Heaven with hope for mercy I do not know, To abuse od's creatures and at the same time t to love Him is absurd. The devil could not make a worse picture of himself, or one more contrary to good order or truth. In his last days the late Henry Allen did some remarkable work with his pen in making a family scrapbook gen- calogy, and made his title clear t/ the achievements and honor of all his race who had preceded him, and also the title of his children. He wrote a hand- some hand, and although a joker of note, let no jokes mar this treasure. Henry Allen always kept things a- moving, and it will take more than one century to obliterate his marks of progress upon this good old town of ours. He felt that he was slow to read the signs ‘of life; but at 50 he saw that everything he connected with ran into the ground and that he was cut out for an undertaker, and he en- tered upon a successful career which brought him a competence and added 10 the materfal improvement of “the Rose of New England.” Baseball wakes up the Au'lest boy« | Fifty years ago, when Donald G.

Now in this year of 1909 it is even worse—should the parsons of fifty years ago see the millinery and hat novelties of these days in church, they would have thought the temple of God had been changed into a millinery ba- zaar and that tha {rue religion had given way to the vanities of the falr. {SUNAY WORNNG T LK } A TARGET OR TwWO, “He is all right now, but I am won- dering what sort of a man he will be ten years from now,” was the com- ment of a friend the other day con- cerning the very estimable young man to whom his oldest daughter has re- cently become engaged. He went on to say that he felt that the prospect- ive bridegroom was spending his in- come about as fast as he made it, and tlat he doubted whether he was work- ing toward any definite goal to reach which mfm require the sacrifice, as he goes along, of the good to the bet. ter. This father wants a son-inlaw who will not be living from hand to mouth either financially or spiritual- ly, but who some respect for a savings bank in which to invest not only his spare funds, but his mental and moral resources. All eyes have been drawn toward Boston lately by the launching of a plan to make it by 1915 the finest city in the world. That is the motto of a large body of determined business and professional men who have band- ed together to better the outward aspects of the city, to provide more parks and playgrounds and soclal cen- ters and to infuse into the people the {dea thar the city belongs to them, and that they can make it clean and beautiful. No good hunter fires all over the fleld, but he sights his game on some stump or limb, pulls the trigger and the shot goes home. He who is pur- suing the zestful game called life must also have before him certain definite goals. Most of us are so busy .with detail § or diversion to another that we -sel- dom stop leng ensugh to consider what we are driving at, and what it all amounts to anyway. We overlook the | injunction of the Scripture about en. into_our closets and shutting | the title role of terin the door, What a difference it would make in our fretful, feverish lives If | six months’ run there. we had acquired that “quiet hour” habit, or the quiet half hour habit, or the quiet fifteen-minute habit! lven f we did not imitate the old saints who sought, when by themselves, to practice the presence of God, we could at least collect ourselves, take the measure of our desires and Intentions, decide what is wortr. while. 1f fifteen minutes are impossible. just try five minutes, Possibly in that short tune our harizons would broaden, We should see things in their true proportion 4nd get what artists cull & “perspact- ve.” Pick out, then, two or three things that one will try to do, If not before 1915, at least before 1920. I know a family where the wife, husband and five children are aiming with all their might to clear up the mortgage on the house, and they have been bold enough to set a certain date not many vears ahead when they will be rid of this long-standing encumbrarce. This brave effort has promoted unity among the members of that home and put new enthusiasm in the common work. Other institutions besides the mily need the spur of a definite ob- jective. The school that goes along in a humdrum way from day to day without thought of what all the tations and exercises are to lead up t6 eventually gets into a rut. The church that never stops to consider what it wants to accomplish in the course of the passing years becomes Inert.

Is there not something each of us can do for the kingdom of God, or, if you please, the kingdom v mnar, that we are no* doing? And can we not do it, say before 1915, and even perhaps before 19107 Is there not some orphan child that wi N pe- friend, someone to whom we can be a big brother or sister, some service | fn the church which we are capable of rendering?
