From present indications President Wilson does not appear to be giving very serious consideration to the amendments to the proposed currency bill, as suggested by the bankers of the country in convention. Not only does he fail to manifest an interest in the effort, but his attitude seems to indicate that he intends to pay no at- tention to the proffered aid, regardless of the source from which it comes, and the fact that their views are strikingly different. There is need for currency reform, but when it is accomplished it should be done with a view to making such changes as will give the strongest and best banking and currency system, something which will have permanency and not be a matter for continual al- terations, simply because the proper amount of consideration is not given time. ifferences concern government oversight with the degree of control and direction of the functions of the banks, and the widely distributed re- glonal system, since in these the bank- ers mee unwise hampering by and de- pendence on the government, while the dangerous competition of the regional reserve system and its weakness is feared. That 1t has been constructed for the support of the tariff for revenue only policy of the administration, and the relation of the two measures to each other being dependent upon their re- maining intact, offers a plausible rea- son for the insistence upon the pas- sage of the currency bill as drawn, in- stead of cofsidering possidble better- ments. MUST MEET DEMAND. At the state convention of the C. T. A. U., a strong appeal in behalf and a hearty endorsement of the effort for a state farm for inebriates was made by President Fitzgerald, who appre- clates both its need and the service which it can render to the common- wealth and to those who would become inmates. It is a just recognition of the sit- uation for the aid of those unfortu- nates to whom the jail offers no cor- rective influence when he sayes con- ditions demand “the establishment of a state institution and farm where such men and women may be properly treated till with systems renewed and wills strengthened they again become the masters and not the slaves of their appetites. The present system of con- fining habitual drunkards for 60 or 90 days is not sufficiently effective, for the habitual drunkard is mot radicaily changed and renewed, but passes the time nourishing his moroseness and only lopgs for that freedom which will supply an opportunity to return to the saloon and the glass, for we all know that such characters often be- come intoxicated the very day om which they are liberated from jail.” Though the demands upon the state were such that the necessity of econ- omizing cauwed the veto of the bill in its behalf before the last legislature, as it did several other good measures, the idea has an appeal which cannot long be overlooked and it is but a question of time before the.demand must be met. and the duty assumed. Tt i& an open challenge which Mrs. Champ Clark makes to the wives of some of the cabinet officials when she declares that her husband can not only live on $12,000 a year, but can save money at the same time out of his salary. The congressman who makes such use of the government's time and money as having “Why I attend church” printed in Congressional Ree- ord, probably claims to be one of the helpers in tariff legislation. Whether- Huerta realizes it or not he is bound to find out if he puts his idea of taxing corporations five per cent. of their capital stock, that in- creasing taxes is the quickest route to dispossession of office, -»~——— The elimination of the gunmen s a problem with which New York must EtiN contthue to deal with a hand of iron. e 2t i | York has been directing his efforts to AGROS88 COUNTRY VACATIONS, Hveryane according te his own ldeas when it comes to taking a vacation, But there is something which appeals Strongly to lovers of mnature in the Wagon trips through the ocounmtry, ‘which are an old time; nomadie cus- tom, but must enjoyable, profitable and healthful, when & compléte change is needed.

The good roads move- ment lends an inducement to getting better acquainted with the country and in New Brgland are there most attrac- tive natural beauty spots, on all sides in every direction, sufficient to elim- inate any monotony which might be expected to attach itself to such vaca- tioning. Aside from the charm at- tached to the observation, it is varie- gated, restful, quiet and comforting. REACHING THE HEEDLESS. How desirable it is to prevent fire needs no more emphasis than the im- portance which should be attached to the prevention of panics should fire break out in halls or theatres. Much loss of life is attributable to crowds becoming panic strickén when by or- derly procedure large assemblies of people could quickly and safely leave the danger places without harm. Fire Commissioner Johnson of New prevention of panics and in this regard he requires that all theater employes be drilled to special emergency duties in handling crowds, for the purpose of directing the audience, if need be, to the nearest exit, that they may be epeedily gotten out of the building and prevented from rushing headlong to the door through which they entered, though possibly the farthest away. The posting of a new notice reading “T.ook around, now, and choose the nearest exit. In case of fire walk out (don’t run) to that exit. Dom’t try to beat vour neighbor to the stree Everything in the requirements is such as should meet with the quickest response, both from the proprietors and from the public. The advice should sink in and probably will except among the heedless, who form nine-tenths of the difficulty in undertaking fire or panic prevention. CANADA IN THE BALANCE That this is mot the only country in which the power and attraction of money is able to influence the oper- ation of law and justice is evidenced in the present gathering of legal talent from two countries in Coaticook, Que. The alluring Thaw fortune appears to have as great possibilities on one side of the line as the other. Its pos- sibilities are known here. It has been attended with preliminary success in Canada, but op the vital point in ques- tion now, it remains to be determined whether a bevy of attorneys will be able to sway the course of justice in the dominion. The New York Times properly says: “That Thaw, once inside the walls of Matteawan, should never in all his life have seen again the outside of those walls is, of course, the conviction of every sensible person in New York. Tt is the hope of every such person that he will speedily be shut up again in Matteawan and kept there. But mean- while he is carrying on a “publicity” campaign to gain sympathy for him- self In Canada, and men who appear to be of good standing there, men not usually in sympathy with criminals and maniacs, are aiding and abetting ‘his purpose. It is simply another instance of money throwing a cloak of protection around the rich criminal, or the par- anofac, for the purpose of outwitting the law and making justice & joke. Canada is now in the balance. EDITORIAL NOTES. These are the days when the small boy wishes hi§ vaeation was just be- ginning. Governor Foss thinks his vacillations are a pretty good joke and they may be to him. The Mann white slavery act is no respecter of persons and therein lies its greatest power for good. Mr. Sulzer must realize that it is not the easiest thing to follow the straight and narrow path. The shortage in the torpedo mar- ket shows how keen the nations of the world are to start a policy of dis- armament. Now that the king of Albania has been selected it would be interesting to know what kind of a score the run- ner up made. The president not only has congress on his hands, but quite a littie stiff opposition from the bankers on the currency bill, The man on the corner says: Traffic indicates that the people are not go- ing to let a coal shortage overtake them this winter. Tn ordet to qualify as an expert on Indians it will be generally conceded that it was unnecessary for Roosevelt to go to Arizona. Good success attended “pulling Mis- souri out of the mud” during a drought but what would have happened dur- ing a wet season? Roosevelt’s decision to refrain from attendance at the progressive gather- ing at Chicago Is another evidence that he dislikes to attend funerals. Jerome has been sure of Thaw so many times before that there is reason for placing confidence in his opinion of the outcome of the present legal fight. The county fair season, the greatest getting together of town and city pop- ulations {n the whole vear, is about to open and a new style 18 to be offered for approval ‘When the jewelers In national con- vention at Chicago decided to open a campaign against fake advertsing they are making an important move for protection, With ‘peace 1n the Ballans less frio- e twenty.

But such was my experi- enc “ ‘John!‘ 1 grasped as soon as I could speak. ‘Where is the pain?" ““Pain!’ John bellowed. ‘It was & spider! I smashed him! A measly, | little gray spider, Milicent, has eaten off the stem of that perfectly good fuchsia bud! And it would have bloomed to-morrow!’ John was start- ing at the blasted bud in his hand. ‘Look out!’ he yvelled ‘as I topped over against the fence in my rellef. ‘Yowll break those lilies “Then John did another war dance.

Recalled Matters of the Past. Mr. Editor: There were two little notices in the paper net long ago which were very interesting. One was concerning the Cronin murder trial, of “worldwide fame,’ and the other was about a bell. 1 .do not believe many other persons in the town were more interested than I, for these rea- sons: My brother, long since dead, con- ducted the case for the state, and I have before me a Tribume picture, among many others, entitled “Attorney Bottum making the closing argument for the state.” The bell that you said in your little article had “just been given back to Russia” was pointed out to me 20 years ago_or more by a guide on top of Notre Dame .church, Paris (in one of the towers), as being “taken from Sebastopol” I am always inter- ested in the doings of. my fellow townsmen everywhere, and I fancy someone else may be, so 1 send you a few words about this, also a copy of what the Tribune said when the case was drawing near the end follows: “Assistant State’s Attorney Bottum began the closing speech for the prose- cution yvesterday afternoon. It was probably the most eloquent address Coughlin ever listened to. At times the prosecutor’s thoughts crowded his utterance, but the jury listened to him as none other. ‘He talks like a gentle- man, said a courtroom habitue. It was the keynote of the prosecutor’s speech. Not a hard word was spoken. There was pity for the prisoner—more for his wife. Reproach was there for the man who attacked Scanlan, Mills and Ingham: ‘White as the soul of a woman,’ was the tribute to Ingham, which nearly brought open applause. At times Mr. Bottum’s voice Tose high, but it was never in anger. His argu- ment was irresistible- at times, and the great packed courtroom was still as a church. Such a crowd has not attended since the early days of the last_trial.” The recent death of Alexander Sulli- van has made the famous trial like news. A B. Norwich, Aug. 26. 1913. Foreign Parcel Post Rate. Mr. Editor: Other countries are do- ing a great export business by mail; we, almost nothing. In 1912 we ex- ported by mall less than 800,000 par- cels of merchandise. In 1989 Germany exported over 16,300,000 parcels through the international mails. Her rates to South America and the West Indies vary from 50c to 90c on 11 Ib. parcels against a common tax of $1.32 on all our export postal parcels. Mr. Burleson can remedy this condition of things by a stroke of his pen. He has but to give to the press an item iike the following and the work will be done: “fo All Nations Doing Business With the United States, Greeting: “On and after Oct. 1, 1813, the tax on all parcels of merchandise mailed to the outside world from the United States will be reduced to Sc a 1b.” And, as an act of international cour- tesy, every nation on earth, certainly every European nation, will gladly de- liver our full paid parceis free to the addressee. Our national administration has but to know the public will to answer its mandate. A few hundred thousand postcards mailed to Washington on Labor day”will go far to insure a 50 per cent. reduction of the tax om our foreign parcel post business, and this at a cost to the individual writer of but a cent in_momey and a few mo- ments’ time.

Or he would rush in_ bringing a lot of mud on his shoes which he would leave on my rose colored rugs and in a quivering voice would report that he had slain twenty-three beetles that were engaged in making terrible havoc amid the petunias. “The abundance and variety of bugs continually irritated John. He passed rapldly from a state of amazement to one of constant rage. No matter where hé was he would stare suddenly and make a grab for a shadow or a.shoe button or a dangling string and then would apoligize and explain that he thought for a minute the object was another kind of bug. “‘Why are there so many kinds? he - would ask helplessly. ‘A fellow just gets used to seeing one kind of caterpillar and Jlooking for it and meanwhile six other varieties are eat- ing things up right before his eyes. “He hunted bugs hours before break- fast and he spent his evenings in the garden with a lantern because there were some kinds of bugs that were more easily caught then. During the few moments that he devoted to his meals he read books on bugs or frown- ed over plans to exterminat all bugs at one: fell swoop by germs or _-m- pressed air, “The day he told e that he had counted up to date 341 different kinds of bugs in his garden I saw that some- thing_had to be done.
