The American press not only pro- motes e organized a ery public -enterprise and all benevolences; but is itself philanthropy of every E ays doing something ewhere for the common good and r tr ief of the people. Even the great vellow journals do something more than to flourish upon sensation- alism—to coin momey upon exploiting crime. If sensationalism is the vice of the press it has then more virtues left than the every-day individual who is shocked by its exhibits of crime. Ev- ery dsy it prints thousands of col- | umns of religious matter, and this | part of its work in a year amounts to more than one hundred thousand vol- umes of good reading matter. The re- porters of the press save scores from crime and suicide and by directing public attention to the need of poor families and the families of criminals bring relief and put them in the way of permanent employment and a bet- tor life. — ‘What other private corporations ex- cept the great newspapers have, like the New York Tribune, handied a freeh-air fund and sent in twenty-five years thousands of fresh-air children to the ceuntry for recuperation; or ke The Herald distributed free ice, and free clothing in certain exigen- cies to the poor: or, like the Chicago News, established a health resort and Bospiial at the lakeside and by dis- tribution of tickets saved the lives of thousinds of feeble tenement-house or, the Philadelphia paid premiums to the occu- pants of the tenements for the pret- tiest gardens and cleanest backyards; or, ke the Boston Post, furnished medical attendance to the sick-poor i hot weather and a steamer-hospital take feeble mothers and invalid ohil- dren and cripples out upon the water for fresh alr and recreation. The work of the American press is not so self- ish and demeaning, so weak and so cerrupt that any one has reason to daplore its devotion to the wicked and frivolous affairs of life to the neglect of the good and noble. The Amerl- can press as an institution is in evary g00d work—a potent force which av- erybody in good works commands with full assurance of having a quick and hearty response. What good it does is not always 2 matter of record; but it is the ome fighter of the people’s battles, the ex- poser of graft, the assailer of greed and the sleuth upon the heels of scoundrels everywhere. Spoken of corporatively and philan- thropically, it has no equal in its de- votien to private and public rights among the other money-making com- cerns of this great count LAYING THINGS TO THE COMET. We may be said to be nearing fhe point where certain classes of peeple will charge the comet with causing certain conditions and effects. A des- patch from Evansville, Ind, the other day, said: “Scores of persons in this communi- ty complained that they were unable to get enough sleep; in fact, in sev- eral instances persons have slept fit- teen or twenty nours and still were sleepy. They attribute this inclina- tion to slesp to Halley’s comet.” This is a mild beginning; but it is only the beginning, for, as a contem- porary suggests, the comet will be saddled with responsibility for a lot of other things besides making per- sons slespy. Possibly, its near ap- proach to earth is what is causing the unwonted stew in politics, is making the insurgent senffment seethe and boll, is making the enemies of “Uncle Joe™ rise up and smite his allowance for an automobile, and, conversely, in making “Untle Joe” take the floor and rend his democratic and Insurgent cn- emies. And, as in the past, when we look over the list of human occurences which have been charged to the influ- ence of the comet, we shall find that while the celestial vagrant puts some to sleep, it fires others to action, and earthquakes and wars and rebelliors and misfortunes of every sort arc charged up to it. Laying things to the comet is easier than taking cognis- ance of the fact that we ourselves are gullty of them. The output of gold is four times what it was in 1890. More gold has been mined in the past ten years than in the first four and a half centuries since this country was discovered. A Baltimorean, suing for a divorce from his rich wife, asked the court to order an allowance from her es- tate for his support while the trial of the cass is pending. A Nova Scotian having won the Marathon race at Boston Patriots" @ay, it was divulged that they get _their training by having t» run for thair dinner whel st Doms come of more than local significance. The board of trade of Gloucsester has issued a creed for all the people to subscribe to, and it reads as follows: 1 belleve in. Gloucester, her people and her interests. I believe in her natural beauties and atiractions. % I believe in her' fishermen and the future of her fisherles. . I believe in attracting and welcom- ing summer people 15 I believe in industrial development for Gloucester and -in pushing for such advance now. I believe that every.dollar spent for good roads will bring many ddllars’ worth of taxable property into the city. Dollars for the mechanics, the hotels and the merchants. 1 believe that. when I spend a dol- lar out of town that I could spend in Gloucester 1 am doing my city an injury. - 1 believe in commending and not condemning. If I can only help by my voice, I will give that help or keep quiet. I believe in a bright future for my city as I know her illustrious past. So believing, I shall spend my dol- lar in Gloucester, where I may get it back as it rolls along. ' ~There is a heap of sense in this. It is not a breeder of antagonisms, but just says to the people: Coneert of opinions and concert of action is the ali in all of progressive munici- pal life, what is good for one is good for all, let’s pull together. This phil- osophy is O.K.-able, and iived up to it ought to make Gloucester bigger and better—brighter and- busier. OUR TENDER HEARTS. The rattan went out of the public school system because sreat hearts said its application was brutal, wheth- er sparing the rod was spoiling . the child or not. It has been kept out for several decades without any sig- nificant evidence that the movement was wise or otherwise. A school teacher of 1j years’ stand- ing was recently punished by a New York city board of- education and sus- pended for several months with loss of pay for violating the rule prohibit- ing corporeal punishment, and this is what the little culprit had to say about it, as printed in the papers: The boy was called on at the trial and asked if the teacher had mis- ireated him. He said: ~Miss Tibbitts pulled my hair a lit- tle. She heard someone talking and thought it was me. She just put her band into my hair. “Did she lift you from the chair by the head ?” “No, sir.” ‘Did she hurt you much?" ‘She didn’t hurt me as muchas fool- ng.” i And upon this evidence 22 to 10 great hearts put condemnation and loss of pay upon a poor teacher. The contemporary that said: “The action of the educational board in New York makes the prohibition ridiculous and turns it into an agency for the perse- cution of teachers,” cannot be charged with having withheld the truth. ADVANCES TO RAILROAD MEN. The present increase in the pay of railroad ‘workers will call for an ad- ditional annual outlay of $35900,000 by the fourteen great systems partici- pating. The new schedules- offered by the New York Central, the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the Boston & Albany, and the Pennsyl- vania involve an aggregate increase of nearly. $20,000,000 annually, and these are only four of the fourteen rafiroads upon which advances have been announced. Attention is called to the fact that this general advance in the wages of railroad men is the second in a period of four years. The last previous raise camé in 1906-07. Soon after, in the fall of 1907, came the panic, but the railroads, despite the falling off in business, did not reduce the wages then. Thus the present increase comes on the top of the one four years ago. To illustrate: An employe earning $150 a month in 1806, on a road where a 10 per cent. advance was granted, received $15 more under the higher scale. A 7 per cent. advance this year carried his pay to $176.55 a month. This represents a net increase of 17.7 per cent. 1906. EDITORIAL NOTES. Although New York has 91 thea- ters, it is always projecting a mnew oge. . The man who ~ thinks more of his principal than of his principles is not so very rare. A good seat at the ball game is said to be one of the finest curés for gloomy forebodings. There were 1,800 cases of infantile paralysis in Massachusetts last year. Is their food polluted? It doesw't sound as if charity be- gan at home when we hear the opin- ions of our neighbors. Ordiparily two million dollars’ worth of wedding presents would be regard- ed as a severe handicap. Seyven states have voted in favor of the income tax amendment of the constitution to two noes! The western judge who has decid- od that prunes are not pastry should evade all discussions with his wife. Roosevelt gives notice that the An- | anias club is on his track again, and saying things for him that are not so. Iappy thought for today: 'There does not appear to be spot In life for a man where getting giddy Is to his credit. A Norwich man compliments wife by the affirmation his that she can keep o secret as well as she can keep | money. This is no time to estimate the cherries on the tree. The handsomiest tree in bloom doesn’t always bear the best fruit. It doesn’t make any difference what Hearst says about Roosevelt, for it 1s always comstrued as Dbeing to Roosevelt's credit. Fishing at Moosehead lake, Maine, has opened & month earlier than us- wal. In every direction 1910 is mak- ing large promises. e Maryland and Connecticut both ob- served Arbgr day on the 22d. It is over what he received in | It should be borne in mind that an enemy’s criticism may be more helptul than ‘a friend's praise. A jab always wakes @ person up, while soothing words put him to sleep. Most men do not need soothing half as much as they need nettling. The man who is made by appreciative friends to think than on account of his achievements that he js it, ds more than half ruined. Happy is the person who doesn't feel the need of compliments and cake, but who' can find pleasure in _work and cornea beef and cabbage. It is often more to a man’s credit to live in Hard- scrabble row than on Easy street. The rice of every good thing In this world s work, and the bane of life is lazi- ness sustained by-concelt. Jane writes that it is a waste of time® to quote scripture to show the equality of woman since it announces her superiority over man. Jane has atways worried us more or less by her criticlsms. She says the story of cre ation is God's word for it. To teach man progress the Lord began low down in the scale of life and worked up to the higher animals and he crowned his work by making woman, not man as $0 many divines proclaim. When the man was completed and_equipped to .ame all the creatures of the earth God Saw that he was not capable of caring for himself and needed help, so he 100K a rib from Adam and made him a helpmeet so superior to him that the ruifiment of the word was made se- cure. God’s latest creation is always his best creation. Who'll dispute with Jane! The writer who discovered that the cockroach was a clean scavenger and took a hot water bath everv day show- ed lack of famillanty with his habits. Since the real roach is black he may have originally been a Nubian although his travels have made him cosmopoli- tan. He is naturally a night prowler, and he doesn’t look after crumbs in the cracks and crevices if he can find horn to chew. The old sailors used to say that these stowaways on ships where horn was scarce used to invade their Dberths and gnaw their toenails down to the quick while they slept. They have the habits of an owl and the instinct of a chicken thief. They will invade the flour barrel or anything else with edible contents, like the ants, and they are not appetizing in cake or pie. When disturbed by plumbers they Tun up their sleeves and trousers legs and drive them from their work more because of their numbers than their ferocity. The roach is what he is, but to man he is n4 good. It is more than probable that every- body hes been annoyed by telephone rules. It doesn’t scem natural to call seven - double - seven - nine-three, Ting please, for 777 ring 93. And sometimes the operators in central get upset by the order. The other day we shouted: Ate-four-oh! rin~ please! and the cen- tral's voice exclaimed “W-h-a-t-"—s that!.!” If it had sald in a calmer tone “Repeat, please,” we should have repliea “Ring 408, please.” But we uck to the regulations and shouted: “Ate-four-oh! ring please!” and we never got it. How much easfer to un- derstand “One - double - one — double - three!” is to 111 ning 3! There is a great head somewhere, and if it will just keep the hello girls from surpris- ing us with “What's that!” when we greet _them in_telephone lingo we will thank them. “Please repeat” is better. The trolley conductor with “a short arm” mever appears to realize that the regulars on his car get on to his game as naturally as a spotter. They haven't anything in particular to do in the bob-tail box cars, but to watch the conductor ‘and glare at one an- other. If they are not estimating how may Square feet there may be in some lady passenger's hat, they are usually noticing how the conductor rings in the fares. If he rings them in as fast | as collected he is usually long-armed, {but if he rings ’em up rapidly in bunches and groups, he is one of these affiicted short-armed fellows. Some- times he'll take up six fares and ring in three; and sometimes if yvou will comphte the faces of the regist and then count the passengers you will see that there are six more passengers on the car than have been rung in. It is a rattling game any fool can get caught at. We are all microbe carriers if the scientists tell the trath. There is no such things as screening out germs. It's nothing for a man to have a few [ hundred thousand of microbes in his whiskers, or to be carrying about a half-million on old_dollar-bills in his wallet. Since we have ha€@ war de- clared on flies as germ carriers, I have been wondering how many files it will take to match me as a microbe transporter, or from a scientific stand- point how many flies does it take to | equal a dirty one-dollar bill? The mi- crobes are in the air, too, so many, 100 or 1,000 to the gallon—the fouler the air is the more numerous the mi- crobes. Now if the Lord has set them afloat in the air so thick why is a fly or a Typhoid Mary any more to be blamed or feared for carting microbes ‘round than you or I. They are natur- { ally too derned numerous and promis- cuously distributed to blame fiies for carrying 'em. There would not be so many limping men and women in this world if when young they didn’t squeeze their feet in tight, high heeled boots and shoes as a maltter of deception. There is some- thing in the assertion that when a boy or girl reaches the age of sense they immediately begin to_wear senseless shoes. When they have good feet they dress them for style—when they have become disfigured and sore they | dress them for comfort; but those who uniformly dress their feet for com- fort from youth to age have the best- looking foot dnd the well-sustained, elastic gait. From this came the gait- er, and_{rom the gaiter the later-day limp. Those who sacrifice comfort to style jn any direction are on the road to deformity and discomfort. least qualified to gzive good advice is the one who venfures oftenest to at- tempt it.

Slowly I began to see that the eternal law is good, a law of justice, and that by putting’ ourselves in Mne with it we can overcome the fear of evil. Gradu- ally I began to fear evil less and to trust good more. I watched the work- ing of things, happenings, incidents and events, sequences and conse- quences. In little ways I tried to test the law of good and- to work in accord with its operation in my daily affairs. It all went slowly, I made many mis- takes, I make them still. But I found that in trusting the law of good my courage rose, I could put more hear! in my work, I was more cheerful an far happler, it became easier to look on the bright side and refuse to look on the dark.

Not until years later did I know what I had escaped. “I have proved it in smaller things as well as bigger ones,” she continued more lightly. “Once when I had sold my house and was looking about for a new home, ‘Something better’ seemed to ring In my ears and sing In mny heart. When our new home was found it far exceeded the old one in comfort and_homelikeness and good cheer—just as I knew it would” “Does it never fail you?" I asked. “And would it work for me? She laughed her low, sweet, Iip- pling laugh, “Try it and see” she answered. “Prusting fn the law of good” I repeated, “shall we fear no evil?" “We_shall fear less and less” as- suringly. “Trusting the law, we shall go on and on, learning more, climbing higher, breathing deeper, growing, growing, growing” Outside the rain was pouring and the wind blowing in gusts; the nizit was dark to blackness and the forces of nature were flaunting in fury.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, | ana Hopetul in N S tive harm to others, by their 4dle and profitless talk, people are injuring themselves. God endowed man with the powers of speech, that he might use it for the highest ends. If he habit- wvally confines himself to trivialities he losés or lessens his stabllity to promote through his talk his own upward pro- gress and the welfare of others. Why not then be more scrupulous in the choice of topics of comversation? One. need not abandon altogether “small talk” or ordinary themes, but one can accustom himself to thinking and speaking of larger matters. He can talk of the virtues and valor of his fellowmen Instead of decrying them. He can point out the merits, advan- ages and oppotunities of the communi- ty in which he lves Instead of con- stantly criticising and bellitling it. He can talk about the big movements go- ing on In various parts of the world that are lifting humanity. He can talk of the goodness of God, as Christian “Pllgrim’s Progress” did, on their way to the Celestial City. Jesus put strong emphasis on a man’s talk as an index of his charac- ter.

How' Residents of New Brifain Are Preparing to Weather It. Having finished the study of regre- ation and amusement in New Britain, the Men's Sunday Civic clase began s congideration of the “Bread and But- ter Problem” at the session held Sun- day, says the New Britain Herald. This is A question which comes very mear home tp the thousands in this city who are numbered the working class. W. K. Holmes of high school fac- ulfy addressed the class Sunday on the “Rainy Day” problem. Mr., Holmes spoke In a very interesting manner. touching upon savings, loans, the need for honest loan agencies and honest rates for loans, mutual benefit organ- izations, Industrial insurance, cheaper insurance and charity agenciés. He sald in part The Rainy Day Problem. ‘There I8 an inborn Inclination in most men to make some provision against the time when they will cease to have an economic value in the labor markets of the world. Experience has taught the race that the rainy day is sure to come, and It must be ready to meet that day. A man prefers to live in a community where he is able to support his family and lay up @ store for’the future. This club will oconsider today not only the opportunities our city offers a man for saving his money, but also what there is in the city to help over a hard spot—sickness, accident or other reverses—a man who must spend his whole income for the necessities of life. There are three savings banks in New Britain. These banks have 17,810 deposits less than $1,00 each. These deposits aggregate $3,105,347— an average of 3175 each: They aiso have 1,344 deposits between $1,000 and 32,000, aggregating $1,768,771—an av- crage’ or $1,308 each.
