PENROSE'S ACCUSATHRONS. Sknador Penrose has stirped up a bornet's nest by his declarations con- cerning the use of corporation money and his subsequent charges that a gigantic scheme ted for the con- trol of the republican party. There promises to be much more revealed before this matter is closed, and in the submission of proof and the calling of witnesses there will be better evidence for passing judgment upon the accus- ations and the forceful denials, Much will depend upon what Mr, Archbold can and will give in the way of en- lightenment on the subject. Whether he can give any positive light on the Roosevelt attitude and action will be &nown later, Whatever the result, unless absolute Proof can be given'either on one side or the other, there will be epportunity for reference to other situations wherein, accusaticns have been made that the Colonel attempted to cloud the issue. There is a motive on both sides of the matter, so that proof should be produced before judgment is given. When Mr. Penrose claims that Roosevelt wrote to Cortelyou about the Archbold contribution, he knew it had been spent, the Spring- field Republican holds: “Tt is an ex- traoedinary theory to advance, but there is undoubtedly ome person whe will gee in it a certain plausibility That is Bellamy Storer. Those who studiod closely the case of the recall of Mr. Storer from Vienna, on ac- count of the Vatican affair, will re- member that, in his exposition of the episode, Mr. Storer charged that Pres- fdent Roosevelt deliberately wrote at least one misleading letter to cover his tracks and throw dust in the. eyes of future inquirers.” Mr. Archbold should be in a position to teil whether the money was return- #d or Dot, or whether, if not the iden- tical cash, an amount of like propor- tion was paid back liean treasury it of the repub- THE COAL SITUATION. What effect the endeavor of the New “ngland Coal Dealers’ association to reach the hearts of the coal operators will have upon those all-powerful men remains to be seen. It certainly is a laudable effort and from every section of New England there will be hearty sympathy backing the association’s committee in its work. When the re- tail dealers in this part of the country are not justly treated by the operators It means a shortage in the commedity which has its effect upon the consum- »r. Coal has for some time been one »f the things which entered in the higher cost of living, strikes and other reasons being advanced by the operators for adva & the price. There is a general feeling among the retail dealers that they are not being given a square deal, and that with the lack of explanation for it, the decision was reached to find out, if| possible. How the lack of production can seriously enter Into It is hard to see this year, and it is mere diserim- fnation, aecording to the dealers, rath- er than lack of coal, which finds New England a milifon tons short, When it is asserted thai this shoriage exists, but that the dealer can securs all he wants at an advance of tweniy-five to fifty cents a tow, it makes if quite platn that in add the public raving the advancs in wogee 1o ihe minees, they must slso pay this sddi- tional rake off, Afiey heing obiiged Lo face an alveady indigpant pudiis, it is | no wonder the retail dealers rise | wp and demand just treatment.

The | typhoid season. so termed, is by no | means over, and, in fact, there is no | time when it can be said there is no danger from it. It will develop when- ever the germ gets into the system under the proper conditions, and the | need of unrelenting vigor in continuive every sanitary precaution is apparent. | The country offers unosnal opportuni- | ties for the spread of the disease, and | it is often that it s brought to the city from the country. Wherever typhoid breaks out. it means that germs from one case have been communicated to another, through waiter. milk, by flies, or in similar manner. Insistence upon clean surroundings should be made, and the fly swatting campaigns, while doing much towards keeping down the flies, need to be exiended to the source of the troudle and eradicate the breeding places of the germ carriers. This means the cleaning up of the un- sanitary places, barnyards, vaults, garbage barrels and the like. The va- cationist eannot be too careful in pro- tecting his own heaith and thereby protect others. It is not such an easy matter to lo- cate the source of infection when ty nhoid develops, but the examination of the water and milk which fs under av under the milk inspector's super- ion. shows the right attitude in 'mbating the disfase and tha Kkeep- ngz down of the cases.

This is only natural because they do not sce the men when they are at werk, barring their service at fires: There is, of course, much time when the firemen are idle, but there is alse no small amount of work in con- nection with the department, and one of the requirements in many depart- ments is the deveting of a certaln ameount of time to inspection of build- ings for the prevention of fires, It has come to be recognized that preventive medicine, with all the in- spection and supervision that it im- plies, Is the way to insure the health, not only of the citles, but of the na- tion. It 14 the same with the fire waste. Thetway o stop the enormous losses is to prevent the fires.

The (ongressional Record is sup- posed to 'be maintained by the govern- ment for the accurate account of the proceedings of both houses of the leg- islature, yet it contains so much else, including speeches not given within hundreds (of miles of Washington, and some not given at all, that it is mo wonder that one congressman seriously made the metion to have it abolished, By the “leawe to print” arrangement of congress, it;is possible to fill it with all kinds of political matter which properly has no place therein, and, strange as it may seem, all the speech. es of acceptunce made by presidentiat candidates with the exception of the | prohibition party candidate are fn- cluded therein. The latter was de- nied, but it was only this week that Representative Burleson of Texas was given the privilege of extending his remarks in the Record, and inserted therein twelve and a half pages of newspaper clippings relative to speeches which President Taft and svelt delivered before the repub- n comvention. The greater misuse in this practice comes from the fact that congressmen are entitled to these Records and spread them broadcast the country at the expense of the govermment, as they go through the maflssfree, Surely there is need for reform In this direction.

To be master of your fate you must be master of your mind. This is the way your individuality 1s wrought from common clay. A friend wants us to talk about ants and bees. This is & big subject to be treated in such a small space as we allow for each subject. The most wonderful insects in many ways are the ants, the bees and the wasps— they organize into communities and co-operate in all their work. They are all designers and builders and have taught observing men many a lesson. The ants build galleried cities beneath the ground, and in hollow, de- caying trees; the wasps were the first wood pulp makers and makers of pa- pier-mache nests, or homes; the bees were the first bread makers (bee- bread) and workers in wax. The ants were mound builders before men left historic mounds to mystify the mod- erns—or those who came after them. There are white and black and brown and red ants. The red ants are the greatest warriors and they make slaves of the black ants, showing they drew the color line first. The mound- building ants humor the young winged ants for a while, but when they be- come of working age they stop their gadding by removing their wings, There are driver ants, parasol ants, agricultural ants and mound-bullding ants, They talk together with their horns by touch, they move with the orderliness of trained troops and they persist when on a migrating trip so that men must get out of their way or perish, Most folks do not meditate upon the myseries of life, and only a few really sense them. It is just as well that they do not, for it hardly seems to be worth while, From the amobae to the mam- moth, and from the pigmy to the king, it seems to be but one parasitic per- formance after another, Life lives on life, and from the residue arises new life. Life must be all conscious if God is all in all—but as classified scienti- fically it is animate and inanimate throughout the universe. The universe and all that is therein is life—life in perpetual motion. Life conquers death every day right before our eyes; and Vet we see it not. We call the trans- formations which release the elements of the old to in turn energize and pro- mote the new, death. There is no death, There is no waste matter, Utility is written upon everything— the very debris harbors life znd sus- tains life and prepares the way for the unfoldment of new life. Goodness seems to be inscribed on everything, and goodness is God. Do you see simple but beautiful pic- tures In the garden? Perheps you do not realize that the artist who paints little pictures to {llustrate books and to adorn pariors sees his gems in the garden, in the corner of the shrub- bery, or beside a little pool of water, The picture of a butterfly on a reed, casting a clear shadow in a mirrow- ing brook, has been sold for more dol- lars than a laboring man could earn in three months. picture I thought I saw such a the other day when a male it on the pliant stem of a sunflower just below that brown centered orb of gold, and in his gold and black plumage he posed in a way which seemed to make every line about him a line of beauty.

Some people live so long that life becomes uninteresting to them, and often a burden. Old age is not a dreamy season of peace, or a languid period of happiness. It is often the hazy end of a keen-eyed life. Objects cease 1o be well defined and memory plays the fugitive. Old age ceases to live in the presen ts love and life seems to be in recalling the past.

One bright day in autumn, in the thriving western city of Rushten, it chanced that several ladies met In Mrs. Holms' sunny morning room. Had it net been a bright, sunny day, Mrs. Heims' room would have been cheer- ful, for good cheer and friendliness al- ways seemed te radiate from the lady in questien, ?m} her kindly greeting 10 one ang all of her guesis and thelr rrady response testified te the esteem they had for her: “One always feels better after a call on Mrs, Helms," was ihe general gpinien ameng her aequaintances, and her eircle of friends was large In consequence, This merning some remark brought up the subjects of pelitics and woman suffrage, and all those present entered into the discussion which followed, though evidently the{l held widely dif- fering opinions on the subject. Mrs. Holms was quietly talking with Mrs. Bronsen, the minister's wife, about the merits of a certain breakfast food recently put upon the market and the rapid advance in prices of meat, when her attention was caught by hearing one of her callers exclaim in firm if I am not as capable of vot- ing as all my boys whom I have in- structed, I should llke to know the reason why. They know nothing of politics and civic affairs except as [ have taught them, and still there are men who claim I am not able to vote | intelligently because, forsooth, I am a woman. For one, I am giad that the privilege of using the ballot has been granted (o women in this state, and I mean to avail myself of it at the first opportunity. What do you say, Mrs. Holms? Don’t you think women ought to have the right to vote?" | Now, Miss Howe told the truth when she spoke of instructing her boys, for she was a school teacher of many years' experience. Employed in a boys' school, she had taught history and political economy to hundreds of youth, and might well claim to have done her share towards training vot- ers, though not a voter herself. To her question Mrs. Holms replied read- ily: “Certainly, Miss Howe, the right is | theirs if they wish to use it. I have always had my time and hands so fully occupied at home that I have not given the matter much thought.” “But don't you think it is your duty, as an example to your soms? Think | of the effect of your influence upon them.” “l am quite sure I can influence | them quite as much by caring for their home and their comfort as by giving my time to the coming campaign, and I must chaose between the two. I fully believe that a woman's sphere is in her own home, especially if she be a mother. Of course, I can judge only | for myself.” { “I quite agree with you,” interpolated | little Mrs. Bronson. “The Doctor urges me to qualify as voter. He says it is my duty, and that it would increase his Buccess in his church work. There are several.of his influential church work- ers among the suffragettes, and he is an ardent believer in the movement. For a time he insisted upon my join- ing in the campalgn, but when he real- 1zed how miserable and unhappy it made me, he relinquished the thought, | though I am sure he was very greatly | disappointed.” | “Oh,” cried Mrs. Meek, “no member of a family ought to contrel another in | this matter, We should each act inde- | pendently, Now, Mr, Meek does not | want me to vote, but I teld him plainly | that I should use my own judgment | WOMEN IN POLITICS to decide for myself. At first we aif- fered over the candidates, but in the end I eenvinced him that I was right, and he has premised to vote with me. My son is to vote for the first time this autumn, but he gdeclares he shall cheese for himself, and I cannet find out whom he favers. If 1 ceuld, I'd see to it that he veted as he ought, but these voung men are se headstrong and will have their own way.” A little smlle of amusement ap- peared on the faces of some of her lis- teners during Mrs. Meek's remarks, for It was a well knewn fact ameng their acquaintances that Mr, Meek found it desirable to acquiesce with most of his wife's decisions. “I am quite of your opinien,” said Miss Wilmot, another of the group. “Men are so wilful and unsatisfactory at times, Why, not long since, I at- tended a business meeting of church workers in our parish house at which the ladles were invited to vote on cer- tain questions of importance. The young man who counted the votes claimed that there were more than the number present, and a second trial was demanded. The result was .the same, and they were greatly puzzled. Then I explained that I put in three ballots. Two of my friends could not come out, and so I put in their votes as well as my own. I could see no harm in doing that, but those men ruled the votes out and made remarks about stuffing the ballot box, as if I had done something wrong. I felt very much hurt, but had to abide by their decision. 1 think it was very uneivil and unfair in them.” “Well, which of the candidates do vou favor?” asked Mrs. Fairchild, speaking for the first time. “I have no one to advise me now that Mr. Fair- child has died.” “I favor Mr. Manly for mayor. is so fine looking. He He would represent the city nobly on all public occasions, and 1 think we ought to remember appearances, don't you?” “Perhaps,” replied Miss Howe, “but what he will do for the good of the community Is of more importance. 1 am convinced Mr. Strong s an able man for the pesition.” “Mr. Meek and I have decided to vote for Mr. Manly. My husband fa- vored Mr. Strong at first, and sald he had a better record to fall back on, but I convinced him that Mr. Manly would do more for the suffragettes, for he is such a ladies' man, they say.” “T'll never vote for Mr. Strong, I can tell you,” spitefully announced Miss Wilmot, for he was very unkind to me at the church meeting. He said, s0 that I heard him, that women who knew little about voting had bet- ter leave politics to men. I know Mr. Manly would not have said that. He always so polite.” After all,” added Mrs. Fairchild, “I intend to vote for Mr. Manly. He has always reminded me of my dear hus- band, who was a fine looking man.” and a tiny, black bordered handker- chief was pressed into service to catch a ready tear. The readiness of Mrs, Fairchild's tears being proverbial, the ladies were reminded of the need of speedy de- parture, and Mrs, Brenson was the first to go, as some home cares awaited her retu The others took their leave, each assuring Mrs. Holms that must certainly qualify for voting, and that they fully expected her support for their own candidate. ‘No,” laughed that lady. please vou all, so I think myself\ and fill my affairs, also, she “1 cannot T'll please time with home AN IDLER. greeting: “May all your dreams prove | true and every cheerful hope be real- ized.” Perhaps you may have noticed that the man who is his own worst enemy is always willing to forgive his own offenses, and is mad with everybody | else who will net join him in it, while he claims the right to refuse forgive- ness to the most trivial offense against himself by others. Toward themselves all men are peculiar—they seem to be conscolous of how good they be and tu be totally unconsclous of all their mean or evil propensities. ‘What - step toward the millenium it would be if every man could see his neighbors’ good points as he can his own, and be s forgiving of his follies as he is of his own. Don't you think we all need reversing? If we it down and chat together rationally we all have to ad- mit that we are no saints—that we are not near enough to sainthood to order the haloes. How quickly this wicked werld would be reformed if man would just reverse himself, SUNDAY MORNING TALK BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. It was an ordinary street parting that provoked the thought. Two men were shaking hands in the crowded thoroughfare, and one exclaimed as | they separated, “Well, so long, old | man; be good to yourself-” You may hear gbout the same thing half a dozen timee in the course of a day iun town. I caught mysell wondering wh would happen if Jimsie with the sui case and the new straw hat should follow the advice of his friend literai- 1y. He would find it a pretty thorough- going prescription, that Is sure. If | Jimsie should decide to e really “good” to himself during the 15 days of his time away from the office, this summer might vield something new in the way of vacations to the aforesaid young gentleman. Acting on the jovial counsel be- stowed, Jimsie would begin to be good to himself in the matter of health of each night, smokes cigarettes till his fingers are yellow, swallows periodic highballs, or low ones, for that matter, he Is not being good, but distinctly bad, to himself. He is abusing the most won- derful and Intricate machine atop cf the earth, the human bedy. When you consider how inestimable in the blessing of health, It is a seven days' wonder that people can treat it 80 carelessly. Youth rarely reflects how easily the funds in nature’s bank may be overdrawn nor how surelv we are punished for extravagance. A va- catlon that eends you back to work more tired than when you left is truly a wretched investment of time and money. To make up arrearages of sleep, to breathe much fresh air, to rest the eve on quiet scenes and love- ly landscapes, this is part of the good treatment one may aecord himself in vacation days. Vacation likewise offers to Jimsle a chance to be good to another part of himself, hi# mind. Ordinarily he has little time for reading. Each morning he skims the sporting pages and the market quotations. Night usually finds him too tired to enjoyv anything more solid than a repetition of the same diet. It is impossible in the chinks of time at his disposal to dip into any- thing that cannot be finished in a Lury which carries with it the inserip- tlon "Three thousand miillon dead!” if thero has been In that time a billion surpius people harn, It is only a few of tha sciontific who find real interesi und joy In tha rarest fossils, and the fossll, you know, hi vared to take any int erpgt In 1t Old age needs 1o frescoing, for || oftenast sinks ltke the westering gun in the clendbank of Parawny, We sea it oing every day, and we feel like sen ng after it the 4 quarter hour. If he will, in vacation days, he can give himself the real treat of sitting down with a worth while book or two. Something in the way of biography or travel or science might prove a gen- uine tonic. His outlook needs to be broadened and his thought stimulated. If a bit of solld reading proves dis- | tasteful to Jimsie, the fact ought tol show him how far one side of his nature has atrephied. Tt might well #pur him on to try and get out of his former mental ruts oftener till he recovers tastes and powers. It is worth any man's while to keep alive the finer and more spiritual powers of his being. Some day he will regret it if he allows himself to go to seed till commonplace topics or the mere grind of money getting are all that interest him. Charles Darwin writes that early in life he loved e etry and music, but that. in later yvears these were neglected. When in old age and illness he tried to revive his lost loves he found the esthetic faculty dead within him. Then wrote: “If I had to live my life again, I would make it a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied wouid thus have been kept active through use.” The body is an important part of a man, but it = not all of him. He only Is good to himself who remembers that he is an immortal being and takes thought for the culture of a soul that is going on an endless way. THE PARSON.

SMITH, NELSON [ SMITH, President and General Manager, Secretary and Treasurer, CHARLES O. GWATKIN, Neneral Traffic Manager.§ From the new ocean gateway of NewiEngland, the deep and commodious harbor of New London, Connecticut The Royal Blue Steamship Company will operate a line of high class passenger and freight steam- ships to the PANAMA CANAL and the WEST INDIES, con- necting with other steamship lines to the WEST COASTS of North and South America. A weekly tropical fruit serv- ice, first from the Island of Jamaica, bringing bananas to the port of New London for distribution in New England and Canada, will be established. The terminal of the company will be the Central Vermont Railway dock in New Loodon, the terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway System of Canada in New England, and ad- joining the tracks of the New York, New Haven & Haftford Railroad, a combination of passenger, freight and tropical fruit handling facilities unequalled on the Atlantic coast. Economic and adequate connections with the railroads of New England and Canada will result in vast quantities of profit making freight and full complements of passengers for the steamships being diverted from old channels to this natural and shortest route from Canada and New England to the Panama Canal, the West Indies and the West Coasts of North and South America. In the prompt, efficient and economical handling of the tropical fruit the company’s terminal, with the railroad tracks running alongside of the steamships, is not equalled by any other port. The remarkable financial success of companies already engaged in the importation of tropical fruits to the United States is of common knowledge and in this department alone, conservative estimates of the earnings of The Royal Blue Steamship Company show an amount sufficient in itself to assure large dividends to the stockholders. The amounts received by the stockholders of one company during the last five years equal a dividend of forty-eight (48) per cent. for year. It is believed that the passenger accommodations of the high class steamships to be secured by the company will be taxed to their full capacity by tourists who desire to visit the Panama Canal and the West Indies. Last season there were not sufficient steamships to carry all these who wished to go and this year all companies are preparing tor an unprecedent- ed exodus to “The Summer Seas.” At a reasonable rate of fare this department will be highly productive of revenue which will swell the earnings for the benefit of the stock- holders. An average of more than 2,500 tons of freight destined for ports reached by the steams| éFS of the company can be handled efficiently each week and at the present fariffs the income from outward cargoes will be very great. Confer- | ences by the General Traffic Manager have resulted in assur- ances being given that enough freight will be offered the company to practicalle‘r fill the steamships. At the present time indications are that the company will be obliged to charter additional freight steamships to reap this rich financial harvest. To be conservatively managed by New England men of high business standing this new and thoroughly independent steamship company, already assured of a heavy volume of business for all of its departments, should appeal as an in- vestment of great desirability.
