FAITH IN EASTERN CONNECTI- CUT. Eastern Connecticat is due for a steady and persistent growth through the unbounded faith which its rui-| dents have in its possibilities. This is the necessary force which will bene- fit every community and at the pres- ent a determined effort is being made throughout the eastern end of the state for combined work in bringing about desired results. The Business Men’s associations are lending strength fo the plan and following the united gathering at which the four mayors of Hastern Connecticut cities speak upon the development of Hastern Connecticut the interests of the four cities should be united in a deter- mination to bring it about. Faith will prove an important fac- tor In this endeavor. It went a long distance In bringing about the mil- llon dollar harbor improvement at New London when it was sought from the state The natural advantages of that harbor and the need for devel- opment was apparent, but it needed the faith in the belief that it could be ob- tained to accomplish it. Norwich re- cently added to its mannfacturing in- terests in an enthusiastic campaign through the faith there was In its citizens and the advantages of the city. It was faith which developed in all the cities the manufacturing in- terests upon which they so greatly iepend and established the schools, business houses and churches. It should be kept constantly active in further development now that the de- termination is made that the inter- ests of this eng of the staie shall be allied. CANAL LEGISLATION. Congress has an important duty be- fore it in the enactment of the legis- lation regarding the control and rates the Panama canal. It is a sub- ject in which other natlons are inter- ested as well as this, and in which some obligation on the part of this juntry is incurred by the Hay- Pauncefote treaty. The two important features which have caused most of the discussion are the exemption of the tolls for American coasting trade and the exclugion of railrcad owned steamships. By the treaty this coun- try is bound not to discriminate in the matter of rates and it is not discrim- inating In exempting American ships, for they now have by law a monopoly of the coasting trade, but there arises the important question of good busi- negs policy to adopt such a plan. Senator Lodge holds that legally this country can carry out the proposal, but that if that action should be car- ried to The Hague it would lose, There is thus no value in starting out with a loging proposition. The economic wisdom of the legisla- tion is an important phase of the mat- ter. There must be a distinction drawn between that and the sharp lines of legality, American interests should be guarded, but in endeavor- ing to do what it desires, an honora- ble regard must be paid to what it has pledged ftself to do. Heedless action should not characterize’ the legisia- tion. STATE ROADS, The same trouble i§ experienced in the building or keeping in repair of the highways of the state as in a| private business and ome of the chief of these is the delay that is' made necessary by the inability to secure the material. The tr of this is apparent to all who have had experi- enee in any kind of construction work. Intentions may be of the best and could work be accomplished whan de- sired everything would go along | smogthly for the satisfaction of all concerned. And yet at the same time a criticising public fails to take into onsideration the very conditions un- der which they individually operate. The delay in the ofling of state roads having existed for some time, it was learned upon inquiry at the highway commisioner's office that two million zallons of road ofl have been ordered | for' this stats and should have been delivered. The holding up of the shipments outside the state mukes it embarrassing for the department and | thosa who are using the unoiled roads. Once across the stato line the oil is auickly handled and complaint quick- Iy ceases. This shows that the depart- ment is giving its attention to the duty before it. Action is needed in hurry- ing along the material, The interstate commerece commission has an opportu- nity for investigation along this direc- tlon and all Connecticut will welcome speedy relief, . Tt wasn't supposed that any deal was too raw for the Colonel, but when Prestdent Taft refused to llsten to the Flinn-flam g in it ma Pennsylvania made it necessary for the third termer to take the same view Senator Bailey su aft nnseated Lorimer. Roosevell, of courde, says did it,” the sénate belleves that it dll the trick, but the general opinion s that public sentiment was at the Lottom of the action. The republican senator from Call- fornia is right in refusing to vacate his meat upon the demand of men who GET YOUNG MEN ON THE FARM. | Back te the farm is strongly urged by Heeretary Wilsen of the depart- . ment of agriculture in ecommenting upon the recent statement of Col. . M, Jarvis relative to the fallurs of this state to preduce only a gquar- ter of what it requires from the soil. He says: “While that part of our country has educated her people to- wards her Industries until many of them now send thelr products tc all lands even where labor s cheaper than in New England, she has not yet educated her farmers toward the farm. She has educated the farm boy, with- out question, in her great educational institutiony, but she has prepared him to leave the farm as soon as his edu- cation 4s completed——and he promptly leaves it. It is not too late for New England to begin now the considera- tion of the condition of her soils and her agriculture generally, but it is high time. My theory, then, is that the college should be taken to the farm. Extend the class room work and let the field of the poor farmer become the class room. Kach county in New England could furnish a first class practical man who would help in this work. 'The United States should pay part of his salary and the county in which he works part. The whole country is interésted in this problem. It does cost too mych to live, and it costs so much simply because we have not been educating the children of the farm.” This advice is excellent and it is evident that if the Nutmeg State is to improve its productiveness it must adopt such a course. is giving its help by making sofl surveys which will be of valuahle as- sistance, but the interesting of the young man in the farm is the vital probiem. EDUCATING THE IMMIGRANT. For the beiterment of the country and the growing generations there is no greater work that can be done than among the immigrants for the impart- ing of the knowledge which is so nec- essary for them in the enlightenment to be gained from better conditions. A striking example of what can be done in the way of educating the immigrant in American standards of living is be- ing carried opt at Buffalo, Where a group of 15 women, working under the North American Civic league for Im- migrants, are going directly to the homes and showing the housewives how to keep the house clean, how to cook. how to vary the diet, how to prevent sickness, how to sew, how to care for her children and how to get the most for her money, This whole- some advice given to many homes passes to a great many others as they realize the great benefits obtained. The valus of this work can be thor- | oughly realized when the extent of its influence is recognized. It not only spreads out to nelghbors and friends, but it is perpetuated through the chil- dren with increasing benefits. Better homes mean beiter citizens and the better conditions mean better health. ‘There has been little done in the way of replacing the ignorance which ex- ists in domestic, life among the. immi- grants. It has been hard to reach them, but the problem in that direc- tion would seem to be solved in go- ing to their homes. There they are at home and the force of the lesson can be applied EDITORIAL NOTES. What Woodrow Wilson would like to recall most just now is some of his writings. The convention that nominated Taft was just as honest as the one tha: nominated Lincoln. Like attracts lil Men who make a loud noise follow and “holler” in the wake of Rooseveilt. Despite the tendency to swat, there has as yet been discovered no decrease in the number of flies. Happy thought for today: No man ever yet has made both ends meet by stretching the imagination. While wireless has saved twenty- two ships in two years, theres is no ex- cuse therein fof reckless navigation. The greatest surprise in connection with Herbert Knox Smith's resigna- tion was the time it took to get it. The trouble with politics in this country is that too many voters are waiting and willing to be corrupted. It looks funny to see men who pro- fess righteousness espousing the canse of a candidate who cannot keep his word. Flogging I8 the penalty which the English house of commons favors for the convicted white slavers. It is well deserved. President Taft will not be notified of his nomination until "August 1, al- though some irresponsibles have asked him to withdraw. In some American cities 1t 1s legal to sell lunch and tobacco, but illegal to sell ice to preserve food, Law is often out” of balance. one element in this great hat is standfng pat—the conservatives of all parties will cast a sane and safe ballot. The rubber agenis in Peru in a few years have killed 30,000 Indians by their merciless methods. Greed for money makes murderers of men. A New York girl worth $10,000,000 is to marry a plain American citizen. This shows she ha The department | You show me a man who is always saying “Every man has his price!” and I will show you a man who can be bought. Such a low estimate of our fellow men répresents lack of worth in us, more than It does in them. It is not their character which such words reflect, but our own. It is out of the heart that the mouth speaketh; it 1s by its utterances that man can be justly interpreted. Such thoughts as these concerning onr brethren do not elevate our minds, but deflle them. Evil to him who evil thinks, is Na- ture’s compensation to those Who ‘would belittle others. The majority of men have never thought of price in connection with manhood, for true manhood has no price. The tan who has lost faith in his fellow men may not realize that he has lost faith in his own integrity, but he really has. To the true, all men seem true. As | was strolling across a pasture the other day a newly fledged yellow- hammer hopped from a shrub upon the upper bar of a gate for the purpose of getting a look at me, which showed that he was a fresh young thing. He uttered no sound, and as I moved to- ward him flew to and disappeared in a thicket. He imitates royalty in ome way—he inherits more names than any other American bird. We cannot tell why he is called a Clape, or a Hick- way, but it is evident why he is call- ed a Flicker, High-hole, yellowhammer. or pigeon-woodpecker, As drillers of hard wood they are most industrious and persistent, This youngster had the red just coming on his head— which, by the way, was used for money by western Indlan tribes, among whom it was the equivalent of our dollar. They are ant-eaters and are the one woodpecker often flushed on the ground. This young bird was pretty and looked fine in his spotted nest. He {is not likely to be #o careless a great while, since such conduct {8 extra haz- ardous. The young fellow who is looking for a Soft snap necessarily confesses a feeling of laziness which he is seeking to humor instead of overcome. Along the highway of great achievements not a single signboard reads: “Softsnaps— this way.” Endeavor is the guide there; and the mottoes all read “Get there!” There is vim in the spirit 'hlcvh i8 to achieve—the spirit of life doesn’t welcome sleepiness as a pastime, It is the soft snap feeling which crystal- lizes into the get-something-for-noth- ing desire, and makes easy marks of men, A soft gnap never developed a man of capacity, It is that which de- | mands knowladge, tact and skill which makes a man worthy the name, The | battle of lifo ealls for men dstermined | tn stand up, not those who yearn to e down. Anything which can be made a soft snap has no snap! Perhaps you think “the wind blow- leth as it listeth,” as they used to in the time of John the Evangelist; but the fact is the wind blows, if it blows at all, according to law, Some men {deny that the wind blows. It s the hot and cold. the high and low barometric pressure, which has to do with the agi- tation of the air. Modern sclence says the wind rushes as it is driven instead | of “bloweth as it listeth.” The mis- sion of the wind is to dry the land and aerate the waters, and incidentally to shake down the nuts in the fall and to prune the trees of deadwood. It is a valuable servant of Nature, and does more good than harm, however we may view it. The wind is no more independent than man is—it has no power to thwart its purpose any more than man has to avoid the inevitable. For the wind to blow as it listeth would be to act disorderly; good order is the mandate of Nature. It is not so very long ago that no one was considered orthodox who said the world was over 6,000 years old. Adam and Eve started then, sure. Now science claims to have found the skel- eton of a man who lived 34,000 years before Adam was created. This shows man has never been a good timekeep- er, and that he lost track of the be- ginning of things. In fact, man was born so poor he didn’t have anything to remember until he did something himself worth remembering. But there is no agreement as to how old the world is, or how long man has inhab- ited the earth; and the astronomers and geologists are only 60,000,000 years apart in their estimate of the earth’s age. The astronomical verdict is based on the sun’s heat and radiation, which it says could not have existed over 20,000,000 vears; the geologists find the sedimentary deposits on the earth to be 50 miles deep and deposited at the rate of 2 1-2 inches a century, which shows §0.000,000 years have elapsed since the rains began to fall and to carry sediment into the sea. But it doesn’t make so much difference which is correct—man has no reason to be prond even of his 6,000 year rec- ord. We judge people by our rules of or- der and propriety, and in consequence We often make 4 mess of judgment. We cannot see ourselves as others see us; but a well tralned Chinaman lets us see how we look to him. This is what he told his people about us: “They live months without a mouthful of rice; they eat bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities; they have to bathe frequently; the men dress alike, and, to judge from their appearance, they are all coolies; the men are sel- dom to be seen carrving a fan or an umbrella, and they manifest their ig- norant contempt of this insignia of a gentleman by leaving them to women; nons of them have finger nalls more than an eighth of an inch long; they eat meat with knives and prongs; they never enjoy themselves by sitiing quistly on their ancestors’ graves, but Jump around and kick balls as if paid 1o do it; and they have no dignity, for |they may be found walking with | women.” ! So much for that; and the races of n vary 86 in their ideas of what constitutes etiquette and charae- ter that they look ridlculous to ofe an. ;uher.

He only laughs and says he should think it would be a change for me to remain at home for a while. That's all a man knows about it! They do not realize the deadly routine of a woman's life. I am all worn out with soclety demands. You know I have joined four Bridge clubs, and then there are the calls for help from the church. We have so many sup- pers and entertainments to gain mon- ey for our dues, and somehow I am always called upon to help, and I cannot refuse, “Mrs. Stiles,” they say, | “you have so much executive ability,” | and perhaps I have. So few are willing | to be responsible for such things, but | it always seems to come out all right, | when T have charge. Now there's our minister's wife! She smilingly says she does not believe in such ways of getting money for church work, and if we would each give according to her ability, the amount would soon be made up, and time and strength sav- ed for better use. A fine way for her | to talk! She does not play cards and | does not realize how much the prizes and favors cost. Then I should be ashamed to let my children dress as plainly as hers do. She claims they are happier in their untrimmed frocks but mine would not be so easily con- tented. Why, my REisie at eight 18 as particular already over her dress, as I am, and what she will be at | eighteen I am sure I don’t know. Her | father calls her Little Miss Vanity, | and still he indulges her "as much as 1 do. She wants to go for the sum- mer to some fashionable place, but they are all so expensive. The boys | are different. Their choice is to go where they can find woods and water | and an outdoor life. So you see I am quite at a loss to decide for my | summer outing. What are u in- tending to do, Mrs. Marshto | Seeing that her guest had actually paused for a reply, Mrs. Marshton took | the opportunity to say that she lived | 80 quietly with her little ones dur- ing the winter that the need of change | ‘was less in her case, but she felt that | the city was ‘a poor place for the children in the summer, so they al- ‘ways tried to get away for a time dur- ing school vacation. A fine chance had come in their way this year, so they should be out of town longer than usual. “Mr., Marshton’s employer has a | pleasant summer home on the lake | shore not many miles away. He and his wife are going abroad for the sum- mer, and their children are grown up, you know, and have other plans | for the season. Bo he has offered the place to us as care-takers during the next three months, Mr., Marshton can eome out by trolley very often, and, when his vacation comes, can be with us all the time, and we are woking forward to it with much pleasure.” “Well, you are in luck, but some- how things seem to come your way. Catch my husband’'s employer doing such a thing as that! He seems to think the more he can get out of his men for the least pay the better. Why, only the other day, Henry intimated | that he would like a raise in his salary, | and referred to his increasing family expenses as an excuse, and what do | soon you think Mr. Tweedy told him! Why that he should reduce expenses! ‘When he had a similar position, he said, his wife gnd children could not maintain the style we did. But, after all, don’t you feel that care-taker is rather a menial position? 1 should fee] a8 if 1 lowered myself in accepting it. A slight flush tinged Mrs. Marshton's cheek, but she only said they had no such feeling and were only too to be of service on such favorable terms. “Well, I shall go somewhere of course,” replied Mrs. Stiles,” trust to chance to pay the bills in the fall. Henry'll have to get the money, somehow. ‘We will see which comes out best in the end. I certainly must have a change of some sort.” So they separated, and Mrs. Marsh- ton found herself wondering that her guest could not see how fast Mr. Stiles was growing old, and how the grey hairs were ¢reeping in and how haggard and careworn he looked. “I should be sorry to have my husband look so,” thought she, “and Henry | Stiles told Frank the other day that he should have to do with ne vaca- tion this summer, for he could not afford one.” The summer went on. The Marsh- tons found real rest and refreshment in their lake-shore home, and were the fhappier because “Papa” could share it with them. Mrs. Stiles took Elsie to a gay summer resort, where the older lady found a congenial set of So- ciely people, whose fondness for cards was as great as her own, and where both she and her daughter attracted notice for their fashionable and expensive wardrobes. Their boys had been allowed to join a camp and were living more to their liking. The autumn brought them ail home again. The Marshtons were really in- } vigorated by this sensible outing, but Stiles found herself wondering the change had done her so little good. “I suppose,” she told her friends, “it is because 1 am so worried over Hen- ry. He seems on the verge of a ner- vous collapse, and if he gives out, what shall we do!” The break-down came, however, and winter found her with no time for cards or church suppers. She really was a devoted wife at heart, and when | roused from her selfishness, her boast- | | ed executive ability was turned to good account in running a fashionable boarding-house to good advantage. Few of her former society friends now found time to search her out, and she realized how little value could be placed upon such friendships. g Mrs. Marshton and the despised minister's ‘wife remained true friends and were able to be of real service to her, A hard lesson had been set before her, but she gained by this change for she now knew the true value of use- fulness and the worthlessness of mere show. Her boys developed manliness heretofore unsuspected in them, and did much to restore their father's health, and as he improved, they all found themselves ready for a more energetic and a nobler life.

There is a species of bats called vampires in France, taking their name from the imaginary demon reputed to suck the blood from human victims. Perhaps the reason men go on a bat is because it is the surest way of soon being hung up! Don't you think the bat is peculiar? SUNDAY MORNING TALK LIFE IN THE PRESENT TENSE. A few evenings since I attended the graduation exercises of a high school class. Above the stage on which the white-frocked and black-suited grad- uates received their diplomas hung a floral motto, “Carpe Diem.” Summon- ing such scanty Latin as remains in my possession, and with the aid of the man ir the next seat I trans- latod the legend, “seize the day.” If that is’ what the word means, and the dictionary bears out the rendering, they may we!l stand not merely for a commencement decoration but for a whole philosophy of life. Those youngsters could hardly have taken a better watchword for all the years when school is left behind. ‘We mortals must learn to seize the day as it passes. We should make the most of the present. Time past is gone beyend recall. Over time yet to come we have no control. When we strive to selze yesterday or tomorrow we strive for what is out of our reach. If we are going to live at all we must live now. The river of time flows on forever but there is just one point on which it flows over our ~wn little mill wheel, This incontestable but generally dis- regarded fact shuis one up to a nar row responsibility. We are required to bear only the pain of the moment, for one thing. Most troubles are tol- arable if we do not Import Intc them the pain we fear is coming in the days ahead. We often cry because we have been hurt or because we ex- pect to be hurt rather than because wa are actually being hurt. It is remembered and anticipated trouble added to present trouble that breaks human spirits. He Is a wise man who meats each situation as it comes, not all situations that may coma sometime. In the battles of life all our forces may be massed at a singla point and If we can repel the enemy there, vietory is ours. It is strange, moreover, how many people spend their alloted span of years on this earth getting ready to live. The lad in school thinks he must first attend to the matter of education By and by he will bégin to live. Then comes the anxlety of choosing busi- ness or profession and the labor of getting a start. Life is still ahead of him. Even when success comes it is generally a larger success that one craves. He wants more money or more leisure. People think they must first | get on easy street; then they will begin to enjoy themselves, give to good causes, attend to the social hnd the charitable concerns of life, He who reasons in this way is fool- ing himself quite completely. e Is projecting into an indefinite future what is a present posession could he but realize the fact. My brother, you are living now as really as you ever will live. No added years, ho mate- rial success that the years may bring can discount veur privilege of iiving a We shall sum; But wbhat did give our gold in a princely we give today? We shall lift the heart gnd dry the tear, We shall plant a hope in the face of fear, We shall speak the words of love and cheer But what did we speak today? One who resoives to five life a day at a time is sikely to turn out the fairest product in the end. That is the only practical way to reach the enc of the road with’ a good record and a contented spirit. He who is filling each day as it comes with the ve: best that he can do is meeting every requirement that man or God makes upon him. Seize the day then! ‘“Behold now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation” Your life is nothing but a sum of single days. Put the best into each and get the best also from each. No one has gtated the case more strongly and sweetly than our American poet Sill, Forenoon and aftétnoon snd night, Forenoon and afternoon and night, Forenoon, and—what! The empty song repeats itself. No more? Yea, that is Life: make this forenoon sublime, this afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer, ) And Time is conquered and thy crown is won. THE PARSON. e T ———. I IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN In higher matters there 18 no such thing as possession. I may own a cane or a hat, a house and possibly a dog, but to say that I can own an idea or an emotion is ab- surd If I offer you some of my money, my stock of funds is decreased by as much as you take. But if I offer you some dge of chemistry, some kil painting, some of my taste In literature, some of my love, or some of my religion, then exactly the opposita result is produced; for I have left more than T had before I gave. I doubt whether the sayving, “It is more biessed to give than to receive,” should be applied to money at all; for in the end I think it makes little dif- ference. But there is no doubt about the tact that the only way to become a million- aire of love is to give it away. The only way to fill your bins with hope, joy, knowledge and affection, is to give all you have. It {8 curious how this crazy eiviliza- tion of getters professes to worship the one man who desplsed getting, and gave all he had away, even his life! Dull hearing and a bad memory are good afflictions at times. To Avoid Pasty, Shiny, Streaked Complexions (From Beauty’s Mirror.)
