CIRCULATION average 3901, 1905, average A BOARD OF BUSINESS MEN. is always thought that a board of business men will do business bet- ter than a board of politicians, but in actual service this is not alwayvs so. What 1s needed to do business right $n public life is sharp and honest men and it does not matter then what they may be called. Kansas City has just had an experience with a board of business men in its water department and they were buncoed into paying €80,000 for 76 acres of land at $1,000 en acre, and the price was twice as high as the value of land in the vi- cinity; and of this board of business men_ the Kansas City Journal says: This board of Dbusiness men’ ap- parently did not take the trouble to find eut how much the property in the cinfty was worth, who owned the property bought, or any other essen- tial facts, but eeems to have been in such a hurry to get rid of public and back to private businmess that it left all the deteils to others instead of ascertaining them for itself. This transaction is a mere detail, but it ehows that business boards do mot always transact the city’s business w#h the scrutiny and acumen the members would devote to their private busin It is fnconceivable that any business man would pay for four more acres of ground than he got or would pay anything at al until he found out whether the price was a reason- able one.” There is nothing satisfactory in-an exhibit of this kind to voters. It is not likely that a beard of grafters could have dome weorse, #ince as here portrayed there must have been a straight loss of $42,000 in @& transac- tion covering $80,000. The grafters to ‘have got their work, in SPEED AND DESTRUCTION. It is the speed ma who brings the best-built automo to an un- timely emd. The life of any machine is regulated by the way in which that machine is used. The life of a wheel s the number of revolutions it is ca- able of making and when the num- er has been made, whether it be one year or five, that wheel has become defunct. This principl® is the same with every machine Duilt and in the use of expemsive machinery a fool may waste his patrimony by his ex- cesses. A joy rider may take more t of an automobile in his care and ng in @ few wild hours than should have been taken out of it in 2 week of temperate pleasure seeking of days of moderate and sensibly con- ducted bus! s. Those who elect to run wp to speed, who delight in fast travei, are paying three or four times much for their pleasure as those who run within bounds, conserve th power of their machine, ride with less 1, observe more that is pleasing route and in general have a much more profitable time in every way. ere are owners of automobiles who ver give a thought to waste of en- gy or needless wear and tear and » & few months t machines look orse than some that have been in se four times as long.

Since the great across-the-continent feat was accomp d Dby Weston, other men have tried to see what they coudd do egainst time and a New York men did 75 miles in 19 hou amd a New Jersey doctor, in Tis 59th year, did 90 miles in 24 @iours, surprising evervone by | his powers of endurance. There is no <ind of physical exercise which gives ore health and pleasure than walk- and recognizing this, walking clubs ere being formed in all the col- leges of the country, and pedestrian- s promises to he more popular than ever this vear. The season for walking is jus opening. The country is at its best. Nature never were 2 more beautiful ®arb than at present, and all outdoors is calling to the student and the clerk, @s well as the athiste, to improve the rtunity to bring heakth to the ®ody, bloom to the cheek and happi- ness to the heart. What can be finer than a vacation spent in walking through our beautiful land, in the Berkshires, along the coast of Maine, or on ihe forest trails of New Eng- land. seeing the country in & manner impossible from a railroad train, and making intimate acquaintance with Dame Nature in all her beauty, stor- ing up a wealth of health te draw upon when winter's jey v&#1 closes the opportunity and indeor Wduties Xeep one closely confined. It is the outdoor life which gives a good appetite, invites the best sleep and in active brain excites the best thought: Nature inspires the mind to high thinking by its beauty, and to ap: MEDICO VS, MEDICO. One hundred physiclans of emi- nence end ability have found it nec- essary to organize a National League of Medical om in order to pre- serve their dwn practice from invas- fon and to protect the people from an invasien of their rights—the right to consmlt their own physician and to act upon his recommendation in times | of health or disease. The doctor in politics, and the subjection of a free people to all kinds of inspection, to enforced dental and other operations, and to compulsory vaccinations when healthy to wtay disease, is unworthy of this century and worthy the atten- tion and intelligent activity of the Deople everywhere, for it is a tyran- ay which will prevent a citizen from consulting his own family physician in many cases. The Bulletin agrees with the Portland, Me., Press that such a condition as this league charges the National Medical board with seeking would never answer in our free country. As well legislate that all men should be Presbyterians as to make legal only the practice of one school of medicine. To take these intimate personal matters into poli- tics and to attempt a paternalism which should interfere with the rights of the individual, would lead to com- plication so serious as to ruin the freedom of which we boast. If one school of medicine was in political control today and it legislated out of the right to practice all its competi- tors, it might itself be overturned, and another school of medicine become the only authorized method of healing the bedy, under another administration. So turmoil and uncertainty which would not be conducive to the na- tional health or national happiness would certainly result. If the need is as great as the promoters of this league think it to be, the league has been started none too soon. A MINISTER FOR LICENSE. ‘When the Rev. Willlam Wasson of Grace Protestant Episcopal church at | Riverhead, L. L, resigned his pastor- ate to become a lecturer for the li- cense system or the promotion of the truly respectable saloon, hundreds of thousands of pious Americans gasped | just as if he had committed the un- pardonable sin, or was the only min- ister in America who would be guilty of such an act, We do not see how a minister could really do this, we know that he has the sympa a great many ministers and a sreat many more lavmen who believe in & citizen’s right to drink what he pleas- es and his personal responsibility if he uses excessively fluids which should ounly be used In moderatiton ‘We know that ministers are human, and we are inclined to think that the: should live up to their honest convi tions whether the world g agrees with them or not. Re Wasson has the courage of his cor victions and at great personal cost has advocated high license in the face of the sharpest opposition on the part of the church and the prohibition ele- ment everywhere. The Rev. Mr. Was son’s‘convictions are not our convi tions, but his manhood is the kind we admire and the kind the tworld needs more of. Intolerance does not advance any people, for it certainly is the way of desradation. True tem- perance, temperance in all which he professes to stand for, would solve what now seem to be knotty rally Mr. problems. Since the truth is mighty and will prevail, we need not worry ourselves about the triumph of error. Honest men in honest advocacy differ from one another upon all bjects, and their convictions are worthy of respect. The time is coming when a tolerant world will listen with re- spect, if it does not approve or ap- plaud. * EDITORIAL NOTES. When you do not know what to do next, just ask a Son of Rest.

It- will not knock the world askew, for it is running by Di- vine schedule and has been running safe for 2,300 years. There is seldom a year that the astrouomers do not see several comets in our sky. Encke’s comet returns every 31-2 years, Hal- ley’s every 76 years, but the great com- et seen in 1844 is not expected to come in hailing distance again for 100,000 years. In the matter of speed, comets that make three miles a second are slow coaches. Halley’s at last accounts was making over 1,900 miles a minute. This world of ours is swinging around the sun onece a year at a speed of 500 miles a minute, and it has been going millons of years and doesn’t collide or wear out, We need not be afraid, the Engineer ig an expert and we have a clear track. ¢ Few persons appear to realize that spring is as beautiful In its color scheme as autumn. It is the season of soft and beautiful greens and bright yellows and delicate pinks and of blues ang whites in the prettiest combina- tions, and if the forests do not flame, the evening skies often do. The birds building their nests and singing their love songs, and the swallows wheeling in the sky are peculiar to the season, and its cloud-scapes and landscapes and seascapes inspire poets to write songs and artists to summon Genius to help them imitate them on canvas. A Turner cannot approach the brillian- ey of the skies, an Audubon cannot re- produce the grace and beauty of & goldfinch swaying upon o rush. The oldest master in art and the greatest is nature. If the key to success looked like a nightkey more people would know it when they see it; but it is questionable whether some of them would be In a condition to use it. If they had the | key they might not be able to find the keyhole. The Divine plan is that man shall get wisdom, and a drift toward foolishness is no aid to accomplishment of any kind. Nature furnishes nothing with excesses but alarm; and it is the part of wisdom to take notice and avoid disaster. No one can persist in defying nature and live the full time allotted to man. It is not smart to do absura things; but a few people per- siet in making nightmares of life in spite of the good genius who would re- strain them. What is one going to do when his | eyes tell how miserable he is, his nose | how able he is and his chin how mean he is. On the whole, it Is not so | strange that some people look at us, | or that we wish that they wouldn't. | But few people really know this, and | fewer can reaa countenances, so most | people look at a man because he has a wart on his nose, or & woman because she chalks so beautifully. Most people stare at us in a box car because they cannot help it, or because they wonder | why we don’t walk instead of ride in | that fashion. It ig not so easy to tell | why people are so interested in us. If every married man had a ready- made excuse when he is cornered by a suspicious wife it_might not be any better for him. What surprises the men is what a poor excuse will satisfy a confiding wife. The man who watch- es with a sick friend found this out long ago, and the man who is staying out to see the comet is well aware of it. But, then, if the women were as aull as wayward husbands would have us belleve, it would never have become a proverb that “More married men | would make fools of themselves if | their wives would let them.” When it { comes to playing the game of life, the gentler sex appear oftenest to hold four aces. If the truth were really known, the consolation prize oftenest goes to the men. It has been said that too many cooks are apt to spoil the digestion of the policeman, but it should be remarked that the policemen rarely suifer from dyspepsia. Since policemen seldom die except from old age, serve long and ithfully, and usually die pensioners, it is apparent enough that the cooks are experts who feed them, and that there is no_cause for anxiety in this direction. In the selection of cooks the policemen apparently make no mis- takes, hence they seldom call the doc- tor. If it had been written too many crooks spoil the digestion of the po- liceman, that would have been truer, for they not only spoil his digestion but often spoil his picture. The flowing bowd looks like a cup of happiness to a gréenhorn, but the man who has had experience with it knows that it is a delusion and & enare. A man who sits down convivially with it at night can’t tell who he will be sit- ting with the next morning. He may be sitting with a doctor, 2 policeman or his wife, or he may be just waiting for the coroner. The possibilities of the flowing bowl are past finding out. Some men have sat with it so long that they have become such cinders of re- spectability that their old acquaint- ances don't know them, and they have no patience with themselves. The flowing bowl drowns every good qual— ity in 2 man and just leaves the brute in all his deformity. When the census enumerators were taking the census they were surprised at so_many women giving the age of 35. Now an English woman calls at- tention to the fact that between 35 and 40 every woman is trying to re- member her youth and forget her age. Now this habit readily explains five | per cent. of it, at least. It is not a bad habit, either, this endeavor to stay the wrinkles of time. A woman is just as young as she makes up, and |2 man is full as old as he dresses, It | is harder to find out the age of some men than the amount of salary they e We do not think of a woman's ag for if she has a merry heart she will do. Uncle Som must be amazed at the number of 5ld citizens who have | young w but he will never attempt | to investigate it Seeing the letter carrier with his loaded bag reminds me that some one has said that 90 in every 100 letters is a waste of postage. In other words, are not worth ting ‘round; but the writers do not think so, and I doubt whether the letter carrier would accept this saying for a truth, for he makes a very good living car- rying them round, and gets no little amusement out of the signs of joy which these ‘sweet little nothings™ evoke, He doesn’t find everybody pleasant, for half the world does not know how to smile or when. The let- ter carrier has everybody to please. and has an occupation that can never e wholly_satisfactory. If he learns to laugh at Mrs. Grouch and to give the bad dog good I ous he is well on to his job. Tt looks like a simple service ut it takes a clever fellow to perform it. Nature is an art gallery to me. and as T wander about 1 see prettier pic- tures than the greatest artist can paint. Of a recent nightfall I became diagram of the comet exactly as it appeared in the eastern heavens on the morning of May 13th. It is the work of Capt. George R. Case, who is an amateur artist as well as as- tronomer, and an accurate observer. Captain Case has furnished drawings of Halley’s comet and an illustration of the orbits of Jupiter's group of comets for the Hartford Pest with ac- companying stories. This cut will be of interest 75 years from now. (Written for The Bulletin.) Brother mine, you beg me to u‘.:-“ my pen a n, and you ask me you why I ever laid it down. Perhaps it was because real life, with its strug- gles, its joys, its bafflements, its tri- umphs and victorles, is so much more absorbing than any mere invention of my own could be, because I have grown to feel such reverence for it and all that it involves, and because my fellow travelers, men and women and chil , have become not only dearer to me. but sacred. If, then, I do not write of real life, what remains but the telling of fairy tales? But neither can genuine fairy tales be written today. Either our tired old world has outgrown its baby-day de- light in sun myths and shining heroes and demigods, or, now that we are getting to know the truths of nature in their naked beauty, it has lost pa- tience with symbols. When the real appears, the unreal vanishes in dream. Modern novels weary me a little, I be- lieve. You and I know, brother mine, that human beings do not work their way through long, elaborate, intricate plots, but that we do all live by the law of cause and effect. Real life is compelling, sublime. Who better than the painter or the poet knows the pain of impotency in self-expression? Who but a dumb genius is conscious of that something Within_ that is like a bird beating against the bars of its cage in the struggle to fly free: the something within that is never at rest, never at peace, whose heart is bursting, vet whose lips are forever dumb? It is be- cause I know that all men have this hidden genius, this inward urge, that I confess to mine. The supreme ef- fort of creative energy is to bring hid- den truth into visible expression. The supreme tragedy of life is in the con- flict between the inner and the outer, in the wrestling of the ensheathed soul for freedom from its swaddling bands. As I look into the faces of my fellow travelers I dream glad dreams of the coming dey when the something with- in that is struggling now in them and in me, half-smothered perhaps under the heavy mufflings of ignorance and slavery to convention, shall have grown and grown and learned, at last, to stretch its wings to high and noble flight. When | was a child I wrote as a child, for the sheer love of it. Some- times I dare to hope that years hence when I am old enough to be a ehild again, the gift of song may come sing- ing back to me on wings. For my lit- tle gift has been my purest joy. Poets will tell you that the birth of a lyric is as though-the morning stars sang together. It brings with it no labor nor sorrow. It wells forth without effort—in lines, in couplets, now in one metre, now in another—and all that the poet has to do is to let the sweet notes come. Verses are written and little songs are sung as the robin redbreast sings—because he cannot help it. The infinite essence expresses itself in his gay little morning call, his mating lay, his even-sons. Even 0, as naturally and as spontaneously, song is the utterance of the poet, the singer, the soaring swallow, bird of heaven, the eternal child, If | were a race horse, I know T should race splendidly, neck and neck, but I fear I should pant for my life e enamored of an elm tree, a cobalt blue sky with a pink scud floating beneath it. As I looked up through the soft green dome of that wonder of grace- fully curving limbs and stems, upon a deep blue background, with pink inter- lacing it in differently formed patches of greater or less intensity, T became conscious that a <Corot never could paint on canvas anything that would approach it for beauty; any more than he could reproduce the flower on the brookside as shadowed in the water. Nature is full of moving pictures— pictures for great canvases, or just little gems so dainty that they can only be impressed on the plate of memory. SUNDAY MORNING TALK VOCATIONS AND AVOCATIONS Cousin Goodfellow and I had a live- Iy discussion at luncheon the other noon over the old question as to whether the shoemaker should stick to his last. He was In a rather sarcastic mood for him and waxed eloguent over the disposition many people have to undertake the other fellow’s job to do which they are illy qualified. “There's my friend Exploiter,” he went on. “He's a mighty good advertising man and has established a large and paying agency, but why should he think he has any ability as an inventor passes my comprehension. He puts Tots of time and money into siily little devices that he thinks are going to have a great runm, but which never come to much. Another crony of mine, @ fine civil engineer imagines he has some literary talent and has actually turned out about 150 typewritten pages of something he calls a story When I last saw him he was still calling on the publishers in the hope that some one of them would put his goods on the market. “That’s the way it goes in this world of ours. The bookkeeper gets a cob- bler's kit and thinks he can save money by mending his children’s shoes. The minister undertakes to do his own _carpentering and pounds his thumb so badly that he has to go to the surgeqn, while almost every mother’s son of us in spring and early summer has a hankering for the soil and we spend our spare moments in amateur and rather incffectual farm- ing or horticulture. Everywhere the same spectacle, folks yearning to do things nature never intended them for, shirking their regular duties perhaps in order to test their abilities along lines on which they can never com- the goal was reached. It was so in our childish plays at home. Given a certaln dis- tance from my pursuer, I could run like a deer; but let the distance les- sen, Jet him approach too near, all, let him put out a hand to “catch” me, and, where any one of the other players would have spurted, I would falter, half paralyzed, and drop to the ground in sheer, physical inability to | run at all. T am drawing the analogy now in my work. I am like the racer. Ho dashes forward, he holds his own, he passes one signal pos! an- other, until he is on the home stretch, his goal in sight, his laboring heart almost home. Courage! Draw the heaving breath once more, yet once more, and once more again. Courage Courage! Bravo! Almost home Huzza! He makes it. He wins. But what is this? Down? Yes, down! Breathless, crushed. beaten! The racers rush by. That last sprint was the strain too much. That last bound- ing effort to live beat out the very life-throb itself. This morning a bright, new hope came to me, borne on the wings of a helpful thought. I began to realize that instead of being pricked and prodded by our inward urge, we may co-operate with it and rejoice in it; that we may recognize it and chum with it, take it into our confldence and talk with it as with our. best friend; in a word, that it is just this something within that makes us at one with the Eternal and akin to all earth’s greatest and grandest as well as its humblest souls. It is that with- in us which forces us to be and be- come, to do and to congquer; that within that assures us of life, and is life; that which makes all life worth living, and all true work worth doing; that in us which “can” and therefore will and does. Folded away deep in the soul of Everyman is the living essence, and it is each soul's problem to bring it out into the light, that it may blossom and bud and bear fruit. The first step is recognition. We must know and understand this inner self, we must make glad acquaintance with our own innermost spirit. The spark of inner fire must become conscious of itself. Next, we must take to our- selves a great, grand, calm patience. Growing, and knowing that we grow, through all the eternal ages we can wait. And it is the same thought, brother mine, that even as we live our life from within outward, so the poet- soul must create from the center, must write or paint or sing or work or play from the heart of itself, from the heart of life. s “Foole, salde my Muse to me, Looke in thine heart and write.” To fail to use a talent that is ours, even though it be the least of all the little ones, is to fail indeed. To fear failure, or to whine over it, is to be morbid; and to be merbid is to sink to the dregs of selfishness, to feed up- on the fungus growth of self-pity. To grieve over lack of time, lack of leis- ure and opportunty, or even over non- achievement; most of all, to grieve be- cause the “I” of us seems such a small, unseeing “I” is a sure sign of weak- ness. The king, the man who "can” is always masterly, strong, willing, joyous, serene, and free, THE RECLUSE. pete with men who give all their time to_them and have become experts.” By this time Cousin_Goodfellow was short for breath and I who had been listening meekly had a chance to get in a rejoinder to this purport: “All that you have said s to me a gratify- ing token of the richness and variety of modern life. Good men are not satisfled to live in a groove. The mo- notony of many manual tasks com- pels them to seek some let-up and change, it's & good thing to have more than one string to your bow. If Charles Lamb had stuck forever to his ledger and other bookkeeping duties we should nmever have had the charm- ing essays of Elia. If Hopkinson Smith had confined himself to his painting we should have missed some of the most piquant short stories in all the range of modern literatur avocation is a mighty good thing pro- vided it is not carried too f: “But that'’s just the peril, my companion. “I know a fine young fellow just out of college who went last fali to the principalship of a high school. He has a good singing voice and quite a gift for acting and he has allowed himself to be drawn into most of the local concerts and dramatics to the real neglect of his scheol duties. He ocught first of all to have made good with his scheol work." On that last point I should be as insistent as anyone. It does not pay to spread ourseélves too thin. Blessed is the man that puts his vocation first. but when he has conscientiously done that, blessed too, say I, is the man who has ‘a_side Interest that may refresh him after the monetonous toil of the day, it is to be hoped, & better man. One may keep hens or collect stamp: or old furniture or play at forestry or study Shakespeare, or paint old china or_cultivate a class of bright boys in Sunday school, or correspond with a foreign missionary, and he may do any cf these things in such a way as to enrich his own life and at the same time store up power wherewith he shall better discharge his vocation. The summer season, on which we are so soon to enter, is a good time to consider the reMition of vocation to avocation and how the one may be tributary to the other. THE PARSON.
