So far there has been no move upon “the part of the president to check the { talk at this time concerning his can- | difacy for a second term. There has | been no denial of the statement cved- : iteq to him that he will geek the of- ! Gce agaim nor bas he even called off the barkers who have-of late been | sounding the country upon such & pos- . sibjlity. . Just what defense the president may ofter for going after a second term is not revealed, exeept. of course, the usual one of changed conditions, but | platforms are noj sacred things as | have previously been " Platform plecges have been 1901 ase; ¥ § g ES 1 | : g g ition, and we pledge the candidate ‘of this convention to this primciple.” Thus however spoke quite plainly . the timore magonm But times d 50 men. It a promise amounted to some platforms, but from that re- pudiated promise undoubtedly sprung the democratic plank. Having played fast and loose with the clvil service|. plank it is indicated that as much freedom will be felt in doing the same with the one term promise. WHAT TURKEY CAN DO, It is impossible to belittle the part which Turkey can play by entering the war, though much depends upon the programme which is adopted as to just what will result from her entrance into the arena. Even though the pres- tige of Turkey was greatly lowered as the result of the Balkan war, it is nevertheless in a position to create much trouble with its forces on land and sea. Tt was not so long ago that Great Britain was extending much assistance to Turkey for the purpose of keepinz Russia from the Medi the financial and other of late been extended by Germany has apbarently weighed sufficiently heavy to cause it to abanddn s declaration of peutrality and no surprise wil' be caused by Turkey's early declarat of war, It is not to be supposed that any move which Turkey might make has not been anticipate§ by Great Britain for its interests in Egypt and the Suez canal are too great to permit of being surprised. Russia Hkewise has sufficient reserves to take care of a Turkish invasion withont drawing upon its army gt the front while the complications which would fellow the probable moves of Greece, Italy and the Balkan states mean much to southern Europe. Not only does this lle within the power of Turkey to foment, but its power to cause a “holy war” and an uprising of Mohamme- dism against Christianity offers still worse possibilities. Thus great re- sponsibilities rest upon not on'y Tar- key at this time, but upon those who are urging her into the conflict. CHANGING THE CAPITAL. The change of the geat of the French government from Paris to Berdeaux speaks for itself as to the realization ! of those who actually know the con- ditions as they exist in France to- day. It is the third of the capitals of FEurovean countries which have been moved in consequence of the in- vasion of foreign armies. Servia was the first to make such & step in the abandonment of Belgrade and then as the waj progressed Belgium real- jzed the futility of endeavoring to de- fend Brussels and changed the capi- tal to Antwerp. Now France in the removal from Paris is acting on the side of safety, for while Paris is a great fortress the government can operate with greater freedom outside of a beslered citv and such is the portended fate of Paris, The impertance of making ¢he shift and doing it while there was time made it advisable at once, and fram this step as well as the steady for- ward movement of the Germans et e e S J e . ‘ 23 ® 3 NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1914 to be gained through infer- z stift choker, like when I wes & kid|large combinations. Economics - of fairs in France,”and not only what is possible, but what i{s expected. It is an admission' that the German Larmy is not being checked, hopes and the lack of news to the contrary not- ‘withstanding. 1t is one. significant step which dis- closess the preparations which are be- ing made for the defense of the city, before which one memorable siege took place, and which is admitted to be much more strongly fortified today than on that occasion. As the objec- tice point of the Germans, Paris is likely to see a tremendous struggle before it §s taken by force. WHITE MOUNTAIN RESERVATION The determination by the govérn- ment to add to its reservations in the ‘White mountains by the purchase of Mt. Washington and the presidential range is @ continuation of the move- ment for the preservation of great natural beauty spots and parks, the conservation of the forests and the protection of the rivers through the efféct which such large forest reserves have upon the rainfall. Though the deal involves about ‘hree-quartére of a milllon and vet requires the approval of the commis- slon on forest reservation, it will be readily recognized as a most worthy use of the funds which are,available for this ptirpose. With what has been previously purchased by the govern- ment in the White mountain resion this additional purchase. over twice as larse as the earlier acquisition. will instire the wovernmaent control of prac- tically 120.000 acres of forests, lakes and mountains. = When the deal receives the required sanction, it will mean the completion of an undertaking which bhas been vnderway for the past eleven vears but it is an accomplishment which means much for’ the future interests of the country as well as meaning the preservation of, one of New England’s de'ightful wooded mountain sections In these days when waterpower i «iven its viehiful valme sicht carno* be lost of the great contribution which such a forest reservation and its per- petuation is bound to give to the riv- ers which have their sonrre, or val- uable auxilarjes in that region. PROTECTIVE UNIFORMS, The value of being prepared has been demonstrated on many occasions throughout the present war. This ha< noticed in the advantage of ad- vanee informaticrn esvinment ard medern methods of warfare. In one particular at least there is 8 decided contrast between the arm~ of Germany and that of France an? ‘®uch concerns the uniforms. The Im- bortance of keer'nz the ememv in ie- norance of the position of the forces i ~e papesaary for the army as for the pavy, where the color of the shins '~ ~haneed in case of war. Experiments have shown that the uniforms of khak® or olive drab provide a mask for the troops which makes their detection less easy and thus affords a desirable advantage. The flaming dress in war of earlier days has given way to a recognition of the value of protective colors and ysuch means getting the wniforms as mear as possible to the natural surroundings. Although most of the nations have troops makes each Individual a tar- such distinctlve mark. Early this year France became convinced of the value -of the protestive co'oring- and found that 18 months would be re- quired to make the change and the war opened with the old uniforms In use and they have served as just the 1s | handicap that was realized but which an | has mot been corrected. France's pen- alty is & lessén in procrastination. EDITORIAL NOTES, Austria s doubtless reflecting upon the wisdom of those few cross words to Servia. P —— The enthusiasm of the neutral pub- lic is such that decisive battles are demanded every day. Few people appreciate the street va- riety of grand opera which comes from the hucksters’ wagons. Some of the worst battles of the war are gelng fought around the cities which are the easiest to pronounce, - Germany justifies her breach of the neutrality of Belgium by protesting Japan’s movement across Chinese ter- ritory. An occasional cavcus gives evidence of the fact that the war on the other side has furnished a few points in mobilization of the voters. i Enough hinges on the. entrance of Turkey into the European turmoil to start a war which by itself is enough to make the whole world shudder. The war Insurande which the gov- ernment has put into operation must not be confused with any guarantee that those who fizght in Europe will live to tell of it. & EE e R BTy Sendine Nelson O'Sheughnessy as extra secretary of the ambassy e* Vienna indicates ‘that he must hive Gualified as a war secretary, duripe his Mexican experience, - ‘The man on the cgmer says: Often it turns out that what was thought to be Opportunity knocking at the door is only 2 hungry man who pre- fers cream ?n his coffee. 1t is too late now, dut It would have been Interesting to have learned th» result of a straw vote of the Europeans engaged in war as to the desire of en tering inte such a continental tussle Just how much of the important war news is being beld up from day %Yo day will not be known until the censors get through work and some of it will probably never be known.

It 18 thought to.be something of a virtue; and it may be a real bar to progress. You can see that it would be fatal to the politician, who being ambitious to mind the business of the public must necessarily ingratiate himself into the business of many citizens. If people habitually minded their own business we should not see on so many desks in business offices—"“This is my busy day.” Men who mind their bus- iness do not have interruptions. or venture to interrupt others. Men whose business it is to mind the Qus- iness of others may be minding their business, but they are not included in the class we have in mind. If everys body minded their own business the back fence would never have became notorious as the dumb witness of so many conversations about others. It is meritorious to have a business to mind, for this i3 what too many per- sons really lack, hence the extravagant pumber of bares and busybodies in the events of life. Prize the person who minds his business for he is a treas- ure. How. queer a prpfessedly good man looks harboring a little vice which he thinks does no harm. It Is so harm- ful he never can be on the level till he has abandoned it. The trend of all vice is downward. No kind of vice ever promotes anything but ill-gotten gain. The occasional drink is stim- ulation; the flequent drink is disea- pation, apd the too frequent drink damnation. Vice always leads down stairs to something warse, while vir- tue leads up stairs to something bet- ter. The man who gets stalled be- tween virtue and vice is a poor coot— he has ten chances to lose where he has one to win, by his own selection. He is fooling with a buzz-saw and doesn’t know it; he is a false pretence without the power to realize it; he is a bad example without conscience enough to sense it. He needs gimp and gumption to raise him to a point where he can lay claim to goodness. It is singular but the man who knows too little and the man who knows-too much come equally into disfavor and many lose the same job. Assum; tells for inefficiency as much as ignor- ance. <Conceit is always a peril to success: it is a kind of uptaxable property that eeems to always above par with its owner and below par with everyone else. Its bearing upon the mind interferes with its balance, hence it is recognized as a close relation to insanity. The one makes as many kinds of a fool of a person as the other does of lunatice. Next to common sense level-headed- ness is a great possession. It will never make any difference to you how much everyone else knows if you only know fiist what you are doing. Half the world doesn’t know what it ‘s doing—it only thinks it does. Effic- iency is Johnny on the spot with the knowledge what he is there for! A grouch Is_the product of a per- verted mind. He doesn't think right— he harbors ill-chesen guests. Thoughts are things which bless or blemish the thinker. He who BRarbors selfish thoughts is constantly stung, and he looks it. A glowing countenance must have behind it something more than jealousy, envy, prejudices, revenge and other feelings of tlement. Thoughts have to be vil in sound to become words, and how these words with stings in them of one’s being tingle. is thoughts with a sting in them which move people to violence. Good thoughts seem to carry with them a benediction, they calm one's spirits, soothe ruffled tempers and gladden the heart. What we are getting out of life depends upon the character of our thoughts. No one can think evil and get good results. It is just as easy to get sugar out of life as vineger, if you will - —— It does one good to get on high land and look off—to get a panoramic view of the country and a full view of the over-arching sky. Broad views strengthen the sight and the spirits. A man capeble of taking in a beautiful view of earth and heaven never can feel like a mole in a hole. It takes a comprehension of big things to glve 2 man an idea of his own capacity. 1t is the fact that man is limited by the horizon, which maked him desirous of knowing what is beyond. He looks away to the blue mountains and he ‘wonders what is eyond them; and he looks up at the North star which is farther away tl “man _can- readily express in numbers, and he dreams that beyond it may be heaven. There is inspiration in long distances. No man can see so far that his imagin- ation camnot'run on farther. It is by reaching out for material things that the spirit learns to reach after divine things full of hope. Nature calls us, Beauty inspires us and Faith and Hope assure us of the more beautiful coun- try in the beyond. There is much ta be said on both sides of any subject, and still to hear some people talk y6u would never mistrust there could possibly be more than one side. There areé reasons why some persons never want but one side to a question—it is both anmoy- ing and embarrassing to have more. Those who are/pledged to accept the truth wherever’they may find it can- not stay one-sided for long, because the truth vy wholly represents one side. The opén mind cannot be eas- ily deceived. Man is so constituted that he believes only what he wishes to, and rejects all else; and his ka- leidoscope of life is always a beauti- ful admixture of truth and error in mirrored forms. The truth dissipates prejudice and increases light and pro- motes freedom from error of every sort. Do not make yourself deaf to the other side of any question. You knew your opinion of a dog, but you do not know a dog’s opinion of you. Perhaps you do not think it possible for a dog to have an opinion of you. Dogs have their Il and dislikes—they will approach some persons with assuring wegs of the tail, and others with a enarl. How does a dog recognize those he can trust and those he cannot? Dogs are capable of seeing a distinct difference in persons; the difference impresses them, out of which comes regard or prejudice. From what they cbserve they form a conclusion that you are a friend or a foe, and by their conduct they express their opimion in accord with their feeling in their way, as we do in ours. There is a maxim which recognizes the fact “It is better to have the good will than the {1l will of & dog” A dog knows his masters voice, and his whistle, and his step: he knows his property and guards it; he is a terror to marauders and a de- pendable friend. He has mind enough to mind his business, which may be enough. Most people believe in prayer, but thank heaven all of them do not be- lieve in praying like fools. There are lots of people who are for peace today who at intervals cheer on their favorite army. Think of the folly of praving for peace while ruled by su*h a spirit! What is prayer?

This we, declded in a family sympo- sium last evening, sitting onthe cool, well-screened piazza and recalling ow Summer experiences. Most of us take vacations as wc used to take the doses of Spring anc Fall medicine given us by our mother: —because they are “good. for us. They are good, from many standpointe although we do a lot of grumbling about them, before and after. A part of my own fortnight's was spent in a shore town, wher. everything smelled of clams, where the strand was strewn with old brokern lobster pots, superannuated seines battersd, paintless boats and rubbisk generally. Now, I have a well devel oped bump of order; the untidiness of the average beach annoys me and sub- consciously I wondered why« a wise Providence did not send a cleansine bolt of Hghtning to eet fire to the whole unsightly mess. But when, on the following mrorning, I saw two city artists sketching the bilgy-smelli collection, I realized that even rubt had its purpose in the general schemc of existence! outing The two boys of our household spent their alloted fortnight on a hunting trip in the woods north. By nature Jack is only €emi-tidy; Jim is the pin: of neatness. Therefore thé entirc household exclaimed when, on their return last evéhing, careless Jack pe titioned, “Oh, mother! Can't I have some of your best linen sheets to sleep in? And, Muzzer, please throw & handful of that nice, smelly stuff you got Christmas into the water for my bath!” (meaning a dainty mixture ol orris and smooth, green soap.) Jim disclosed that there was a reason! They had made their head- quarters at a delapidated farmhouse, the owners of which were a rich hut miserly old couple, childless, but sav- ing no one knows what for. When the cleanly-bred youths went to bed in the musty, unaired, cobwebby “spare room,” they .found that the mice had been in the bed first! Of course, the well on the place was country wells have such a chronic habit of running dry in August! The old lady only. washed her hands when she worked the butter. She looked at least forty years younger when she wore her falle teeth; but these, she zenerally carried in her pocket ‘and could not always find in time to slip them in, when a stranger or the mig- ister came to call. ..“I've learned one thing about pack- ing!” observed busy Aunt Jane, in the course of her vacation reminiscences. It was so annoyving, to discover that I had taken urdderthings enough for a round-the-world trip, yet had forgot- said: “Prayer is patience.” - Too many persons in addressing the throne of grace make you feel it is their will which should prevail, not His will. So long as men are willing to do the will of earthly masters who in their love of power and disregard for human life are monsters, why ehould they expect the Divine Master to aid them in their savagery? The only way to get their prayers answered is to work to re- move from among men the cause of war. Whooping ‘er up for'war and praying for peace is idiotic. SUNDAY MORNING TALK CALL OUT THE RESERVES. A nation’s -army on a war footing is far different from that of the same try in time of peace. In war the z‘fl‘ilng force is gradually increased through the call to the colors of one class of citizens after another, till the usual strength is trinled or quadrupled. A German assured me the other day that the Kaiser could draft reservists of all classes till the Fatherland had at least 8,000,000 men under arms. Let us pray that so colossal a host of fighting men may never be gathered. It were better for the reservists and for the world that they stay on their farms and in their shops. But nothing is more desirable for the individual than to call out the re- serves of his owa nature. To set latent powers at work, to arouse sleeping energies is the privilege and the duty of every man. It is doubtless true, as Prof. James reminded us from the viewpoint of psychology, that “As a rule men habitually use only a small part of the powers which they actually possess and which they might use un- der appropriate conditions.” Not one man in fifty realizes what he could accomplish were every power of his nature evoked. 3 One of the most interesting things in life is the sudden, upexpected de- Velopmeat in some personality of pow- ers that have !Pn dormant. . Some emergency reveals' strength in thesna- ture that was wholly unsuspected. Under stress of peril the bedridden will walk, the slender woman will stop a runaway horse or save someone from a burning building, the madcap boy will display heroism and endur- ance of a high order. “I didn't know he had it in him” is our comment Neither did he know he hgd it in hi till the occasion called. is evident that the human organism, has storgd- up reserves of energy that are ofdi- narily not employed, but that may be called upon when the crisis or the great occasion reveals us to oursel Conservation is a master word of u day. We try to make the most of ev erything. We utilize what was for- merly wasted. The dump heaps of our grandfathers become our mines. We rake them over and pick out gold, uranium and radium. Through ig- norance our grandfathers and grand- mothers allowed scores of chemicals, essences and useful ingredients to go to waste. Today the industrial chem- ist is teaching us to save much that was thrown away, and to gain the profit of scores of by-products. ’ Just so should we make the most of our human personalities. Men do not begin their careers on the earth fully developed physically, mentally or spiritually; and what is more pathet- ic, they frequently end them as bun- dles of unrealized possibilities, They are like the slothful man in our Lord's parable, who had to report merely “I went and hid thy talent in the earth!” They are llke an army that has never gathered anything like its full strength. How may one call out his personal reerves, develop his own life, to ca- pacity? That alone is success and any- thing less then that is failure. The answer must be in terms both of res- olution and religion. The will must be set to work as the normal opener of deeper and deeper levels of enerzy. Men corne into full mental stature only t. And if resolution of ‘deeper levels of enersy, faith is their estab- lisher and guaranee. For real relizi means not some dead decorum, but the introduction of us mortals to a new and abundant life, to a realization of the utmost that Almighty God bas designed our individual natures to re- HHE PARSON. and had to go to Sunday-scheol!

The_ originator was an Eng- lish actor, William Hallam, Sr., who brought his own company from over-seas and presented “The Mer- chant of Venice” as the initial per- formance. The idea spread rapidly, and soon New York, Philadelphia and the other lead!ngncommunlflzs of colonjal America h had their theateres, At the close of the cen- tury, theatres were open the capitals of nearly all the thirteen original states. While the Virgin- ian play-house was the first in the United States, actors had played in the colonies before this date.

There are in the United States over 3,000 theaters, not counting the 2¢;- or more moving picture theaters or circuses, and halls for general entertainment. It has been esti- mated that during a good theatri- cal year there are more than 25,- 000 actors and actresses declaiming, trilling apd dancing before the American people. One of the mod~ ern features of the profession is the traveling company, of which there are nearly 1,000. The estl- value of the 3,000 theaters is nearly '$40,000,000 while it re- quires $20,000,000 annually to pay ;hozognh.yen' salaries. About $60,- What a mistake landlords who bid for summer boarders make, in ignor- ing the common sanitary comforts!

The Massa- chusetts legislature passed a law shortly after amateurs had given “The Orphans” at the Coffee House in Boston in 1749, which forbade such performances, attaching a ‘pen- alty for actors and spectators alike of 5 pounds sterling each. The op- position in Philadelphia was so great that lam was compelled to build his theater in 1759 out- side of the city proper, in a dis- trict then in disrepute and known as Sothwark, . or “Soclety Hill” Even then vigorous efforts were made to close the theater, in a cottace, there is always golden- rod and rag-weed about, to make my hay fever worse; and I have to row across the river to get a pail of drink- ine water, or a block of ice!
