One of the great democratic fights has been brought to a climax by the action of the democratic convention. All was not harmony in the struggle for support of the candidates, as the : mage plain and everything is not likely to be straight- ened out now that the ticket lias been selected. The result showed the ma- <hine working well and in control at the finjsh but the scrap has deen other than a good natured one. It has not been characterized by the best af Teeling, with the result that there is disappointment in certain localities which smarts like salt in a fresh ‘wound, Prohably as the democrats believe they have nominated their strongest candidates and those who in the line for prbmotion deserve the honor of ‘being given the nominations, but it was =a sltuation where they were driven to put thelr best foot forward. It was mo ordinary task which was imposed upon them for the republi- can comvention has set before the voters of the state candidates who command the highest regard for fit- ness ‘and ability, men who ke Haw- ley and Platt have grown into the confidence of the commonwealth through thelr sérvice in its behalf, and such is what counts when seek- ing to provide the state with the best possible officlals. Harmony prevailed in their cholce in contrast to the bit- ter struggle for the honor upon the democratic side, where the clamor for, office has left bitter feelings. The democrats have fought in their own camp and the list of casualties is large. NO TIME FOR FAVORITES. It is but natural that the democrats should encounter trouble and opposi- tion in their plan of cutting down the river and harbor appropriations. No section likes to be deprived of what it seems likely to get even though it is extravagant planning, yet it is a time when the condition of finances and the position of the gov- ernment must be taken into full con- sideration. It is a time when economy &hould be practiced, when unnecessary expenditures should be eliminated and when due thought should be given to the actual needs. In the pursuit of such an admirable policy the fact must not be lost sight of that the economy should be im- partially practiced There ghould not bo the retention of the proposed ap- propriations for certain sections of the country, when other sections are getting the pruning knife. Necessary projects are the one which must get first consideration while all others should take their cuts and take them allke. Connecticut. has, for instance, been informed that it is proposed to reduce some of its allotted appropria- tions a half or more and under the circumstances it is bound to be ac- cepted. but with the understanding that other similar appropriations in other varts of the country shall be treated likewise. There would be no justice in eliminating and cutting New Tncland appropriations while those in the south are mot disturbed. Econ- omy must prevail, but it must be done with the idea of treating all alike. It is no time for partisan favorites. - INCREASE WHEAT PRODUCTION. Canada is looking well to the future and anticipating conditions when it undertakes- the task of doubling its wheat crop during the next year. It i8 a step. whicth losks to a prolonged war, tut it is nevertheless a fact that however long the war lasts there is going to be gn iacreased demand for ‘wheat and Canada is not only going to be looked to for all it can supply, but it is a country which can materially increase its output, It is an opportunity for Canada and the part which the government can play in meeting the situation is con- siderable. Not only is it urging the use of every available acre for wheat and the opening up of new ground for other supplies, but it is prepared to contribute to the expense of the plowing, planting and cost of the seed. To Canzda, Great Britain is going to look for a large share of its wheat, but it is equally true in this country. as in Cenada that the world’s mar- kets are offering speclal inductments to the countries at peace for the in- crease of their output of that grain. It is @ business chance which lles be- fore the enterprising tillers of the soil, as the important question of develop- ing our foreign trade in other lines stands out before the manufacturing interests, and while Canada is active- ly engaged in preparations to profit by the opportunity, the cue is none the less valuable to the wheat producing sections of the United States. OUR AMENDED SHIPPING LAWS. Only a brief period has passed since the shipping laws of this country were amended so that inducements were of- fered for the registration of foreign vessels under the flag of this country, or since the idea was advanced of buy- ing German vessels lying idle in this country, but it appears to be sufficient to disclose the dangers ‘which are in- volved in such procedures unless they are in strict accordance with the pro- visions of international law. This is disclosed by the holding. up in a Brazilian port; of the steamer Robert Dollar, a former British ves- sel which has changed to American registry. This vessel has been re- fused clearance papers upon the sug- gestion of the British consul under the belief that it would be a violation of the position of neutrality which has been taken by Brazil. It is a situation which miight be expected sooner or later and it is perhaps we'l that the status of such vessels as have changed their Tegistry should be determined as early as possible for the relief of shipping. Apparent- ly the Brazilian government is looking upon such a change by the vessel in- volved as a subterfuge to escape the delays which might be encountered through Germpan interference. 1t is a matter, however, which deserves a speedy adjustment. If we are within our rights in encouraging a change of registry at this time it should be es- tablished now, and if not it likewise cannot be known too soon. The Rob- ert Dollar promises to provide a test case which will save a lpt of trouble for others. FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS, The magnificent humanitarian work which is being done by the Red Cross in its fight against tuberculosis is widely known, but it is an excellent move which has been made by the or- ganization and the National Assocla- tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in framing a definition of anti~tuberculosis work showing how the proceeds from the sale of the holl- day seals are to be used. In a general way it was known that the money went for the suppression of the white plague, but the method was indefinite to the public mind which should be overcome by the statement that the fund is used for: 1. The construction of hospitals or sanatoria. for the care of the tuber- culous. 2. The maintenance of the tuber- culous. 2. The provision of day or night camps for the tuberculous; the pro- vision and maintenance of dispensa- ries, visiting nurses, open air schools, fresh air classes or preventoria for the care or treatment of tuberculous cases or for the prevention: of the spread of tuberculosis. 4. The maintenance of educatiopal or legislative activitles which have for their object the prevention of in- fection with tuberculosis. This definition of the scope of the work devoted as it is to highly com- mendable efforts for the betterment of community ' and individual health should result in greater interest than ever from the public in aiding to car- ry out its purpose. It is work which needs to be done for the welfare of the nation and in which all can par- ticipate. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is not that Dame Fortune smiles so often as it is the direction which puzzles so many people. “How the war started” always pro- vides an excellent topic of discussion when other war news lags. The democratic mobilization " at Hartford appears to have been a suc- cess in the eyes of the winners, Summer appears to have made a re- turh call just for the sake of a &hort visit before departure for the south. ‘We can appreciate what it costs the Swiss to keep thelr army mobi- lized by our own experience in Col- orado. The development of South American trade will not succeed by looking at the possibilities through smolked glasses. Much study is being put in on the map of Europe, but it is subject to sSo many changes that it would seem to be a waste of time. “Buy a bale of cotton” is being urged in the south. There are a lot of people who wish they were able to buy a bolt of cotton. Setting fire o houses for amuse- ment is one of the charges against the Germans. Probably a company of moving picture actors. . There is no question but what Gen- eral Funston and his men have made themselves solid in Vera Cruz so that they could go back any time they de- sire. As the president says it Is asking too much that a neutrai nation be urged to decide the complaints of those at war, and still maintain neu- trality. The man on the corner says: Lots of patriotism is bound up in dying for one’s country, but there is a lot more which could be ynloosened by living for it, Complaints come from all sides concerning the war and the practices therein, but the most general com- plaint, and one in which most every- one joins is that war is what it is. The changed conditions in the Euro- pean war seem to be fully explained by the statement from the German war office that “the army has been at rest for the past week.” If such was a fact it would be the first time since they left the empire. With the evidence that the govern- ment expenditures this year are going to establish a new high record when conditions demand retrenchment, it is no small part which economy and efficiency stlll have to play in the dem- ocratic policy of government. THE MAN WHO TALKS One way to success in life is to stick to a good thing the moment you are made consclous that it is intended for you. There are too many people who do not know a good thing when they see it, and many more who never study anything with zeal enough to discover whether it is good or not. Those who regard all work as being labor, or simply a means to an end, get indifferent results from their ef- forts in life. It should be borne in mind a good thing must always be a thing of ‘promise, where an invitation to come higher up is sure at intervals to be issued. Do not be satisfled to dig ditches, drive trunnels or last shoes all the days of your life. The dollar earned is not all—feeling yourself grow more satisfactory. Do mot wait for opportunity to knock at your door, but make the opportunity if pos- sible for yourseif and others as a Carnegie, & Rockefeller and an Edison have dore. Vim has always made its own way—trust goes following after. Do not feel flattered when a friend assures you that you are working too hard. This is something your employ- er or your wife is not likely to tell you, and even when your doctor says So just take it with a grain of salt. Health is seldom impaired by hard work, and it was never known to kill anyone who was well nourished. Very few of us get the hustling habit and not many operate as if their bread and butter depended upon it. If everybody workeq as if they liked their work the product would be greatly improved and somewhat increased. The salici- tude which prompts a person to tell you that you are working too hard may have a selfish motive under it which bodes you no goed. The flat- terer is seldom likened to anything but a serpent, and against serpents it is always. well to be on your guard. Many more men are made miserable from a lack of work than are from having an ‘abundance of it It is well enough for a tradesman to be sharp in all his dealings with his fellowmen, but he should be care- ful not to be so sharp as enough to pinch his ers gains dimes to lose dollars. “Live and let live,” like the Golden Rule, is a very good motto, the cornerstone of an ad- vancing policy, but the habit of ad- miring the sentiment and never dem- onstrating its worth is‘far too com- mon where it should not be. The per- son who is too sharp is as much his own enemy as the person who is too bibulous. “Do_ him quick or he’ll do you” is the Golden Rule of militarism, but it can' find no permanent lodg- ment in trade. Most of the men who essay to do their fellowmen are them- selves soon undone. Sharpness is best employed in getting a man’s confidence than in getting his dollars. Confidence gives stability to every emj and system of government. get too fresh soon become stale. Advertising is a popular way of at- tracting attention, and it always costs money or time. Good ising gan- not be done for nothing. .The art of dressing generally proves to be good advertising for both sexes, and some persons are so delighted with this form of advertising they go beyond their means to keep it up. The corked eye- brow, rouged lips and cheeks and man- icured hands are different styles of ad- vertising, so is the cackle 6f the hen. Eccentric themes for Sunday discourse make drawing cards, and moving pic- tures call out large congregations: Pro- Tessional gentiemen who do not adver- tise because such a vulgar practice is beneath the dignity of their profession like to have their skilful work written up in the news columns for nothing, where the price is one dollar a word. The union card and the non-union vgice serve their purpose. Good ad- vertising is the only good thing intelli- glent business ;nen think ought to be glven away. good thing is always ‘worth paying for. ———— Those who spend too much tii at the mirror should awaken to its one admonition. It says to all: much time in reflection.” business is reflection, and the recom- mendation should carry force. The mirror reflects our appearance what- ever it may be, and if we stay too long in admiration of self it discloses our vanity. The looking glass shows up human weakness. This is why it is said: “There’s none so_ homely but loves a looking glass.” No mirror can make us look to ourselves as others see s. Many a man has admired his ap- Pearance in the mirror because he so Closely resembled a fashion plate, and his friends seeing him in the same suit cannot hide their disgust because he looks so much like a fool. This is Just as true-of many a woman, They who spend much time in reflection will spend” Jess before a looking glass, Vanity keeps folks ignorant of their own faults, which it - g o exposes to every Those who are ol toad snipes more insects in & day than 2 Belgian sharpshooter will bbring to{ SOITow in a’ week, and the hunting and trapping spiders and the wary Wasps are making captures every hour, to say nothing of the birds.

Last week, after I had written some- thing about mankind’s sins of omission, I received the following communication signed “Toiler:” . “Dear Dictagraph: “I am a hard worker who would like a little late sleep on Sunday morning, and could get it, too, if it wasn't for two’ milkmen—one a trifie déaf—who always meet in front of my house, and megaphone farm news till they wake everybody on the block!

Let me il- lustrate this: A certain young business man, on a trip through _the mountains with friends, noticed a wonderfully well constructed bridge, a real triumph of engineering. “Say!” he remarked to one of his companions. “Wouldn't old Mr. Blank like to see that bridge?

It took but a minute to address and stamp it and to write: “Thought you'd like to see the sort of bridges they build up here,” with the signature. Pleased? Well, that housebound old man was as happy as a child. to be remembered! He got out an atlas, studied up the route of the motor paiiy and the probable location of the bridge pictured; why, it actually made him forget his ailments for an entire af- ternoon. Besides this, it left a pleas- ant lttle glow at his heart. What do any of us like better, in this forgetful life, than to be remembered? An evening or two later a neigh- bor came over and sat on the porch with the former engineer. He was telling him, in the course of conversa- tion, of a certain business transaction in which he was about to engage. Something prompted the words from the shut-in: “If you are looking for a bright young fellow to carry through such a deal, why.domt you give So- and-So a chance? He's ambitious, trustworthy, and they tell me is doing well with everything he lndertakes.” That was the seed which fell on the proper ground to get the young man an 4mportant business commissian— followed by others quite as importaut. A penny postcard. a one-cent stamp and a little thoughtfulness! His rivals say sneeringly: “Oh, he’s foxy! He knows how to get by!” some of-the nations are warring with each otlier most of the time. We are getting away from the days when common people could be frightened half to death by the readers of signs, who usually connected them with the birth of.warriors or some dire disaster. ‘They were supposed to bring messages to kings, since the common people then were all out of divine favor. Lying was more profitable, perhaps, in those days than it is now. This comet was discovered in 1913 by Paul T. Delevan and bears his name. It MORAL USES OF A DARK THING. Years ago a great thinker, Horace Bushnell, wrote a sermon that has be- come classic entitled, “Moral Uses of Dark Things.” It was dedicated to sition that righteousness is vanced by events apparently full only of pain ang of loss. Certainly no event more full of pain and loss than war is known to mod- ern society. Can it be said to have any moral use whatsoever? Aside from great econmomic readjustments that may mean material gain for one country, with something quite the op- posite for an<t-- helpful contribution to the thought and the mOora: expcr€nce . d .. _ Is the philosopher’s contention at all justified, for instance, as regards the present cataclysm devastating Europe? Thoughtful observers may be able to detect on the black cloud some suggestion of a silver lining. In the first place there is the focusing of at- tention on grave instead of on trifling matters. For the last six weeks the ‘world £ been thinking serious thoughts. " Our reading has been of a different character. Newspapers that have magnified ang inflated triviali- tles, scandals and the like have swept these things off the first page in favor of mighty events that are making history. Chattering and gossip cease. Men cultivate a world outlook. They read history. study geography, enter into the character and ideals of allies and enemies. Here is a moral level higher than the common one. Fright- ful as is war, is it as bad as that moral slough into which individuals or nations may sink in pursuit of sor- did pleasures, selfish interests and pal- ty admirations? Faith in the essential heroism of our race revives when the tocsin calls all men to the colors. Human na- ture has its sublime possibilities after all. The usual traits, manifest in pip- ing times of peace—our love of ease, our fear of pain, our dread of death, thése the soldier despises and puts behind him. All that a man hath wild he give for his life, and yet eight out of every ten soldiers are only beg- ging to be sent to the front. It is equally true of the Black Watch and the Imperial Guard, of Zouave and Cossack. One cannot help glorifying men of different races, they are shooting down thelr fellows bat because they expose their own bodies to the enemy’s shot and shell; not becamse they kill others, but be- cause they themselves are willing to die. these not because ‘When nations pour out their treas- ure in a golden tide. when men leave their unreaped fields and abandon their busy shops and offices for in- tangible things like honor and jus- tice, we may know that idealism has not perished from the human heart. In war, moreover, countless thou- sands learn to take account of that “power not ourselves that makes for righteousness.” War is an appeal to the supreme Arbiter in human affairs, by no means always to be found, as Napoleon declared, “on the side of the eaviest battallons.” We are forced to = recognition of other agencies tham these material ones named dread- noughts and machine guns.

But he wouldn’t have gotten by in this particular case had he besn thoughtless, had he omitted sending that two-cent message card, prompted primarily by no thought of gain; only by the desire to make an old, complain- ing pain-racked man plcased: But to get to the magpie hal Glorious September is here, and sud- denly you begin to be aware of a new stir and activity in the household. You grow weak at heart, as you chance to hear the house-mother ob- serve over the fence to her next neizh- bor: “Yes, I always like to get mine done in September, when it isn't too cold to air things well, and you can keep all the windows open! I always begin at the attic, and go down!” Ah, ha! The good woman is pre- paring to clean house! And here is where the magpfe habit comes in! The tendency to hoard and hide and store up rubbish of every description! Every man who has lived—some- times I wonder if it isn’t the survival of the unfittest!—through a spring or fall housecleaning, knows how it will be! The good housewife, in a faded gown, her head tied up in a dust rag, goes to the garret, armed with broom and mop. Then one overhears snatches of conversation like unto this between her and her assistants: “Oh, dear! Blessed be nothing! Every year I threaten to throw away that crayon picture of Uncle Stephen's second wife! Poor thing! Her loss nearly killed Uncle Stephen! But when he married, two years later, of course his third wife had no use’ for this picture—it used to hang in the difting_room, where- he could see it while he was eating; so he gave it to grandma! It's only taking up room; but I hate to throw it away!” “Oh, Ma! , The moths have got intd this brown suit of father's!” “Land sakes! Well, last spring I half decided to give them clothes to Widow Elkins* oldest boy! But I kind- er thought your father might want them some time, for fishin’ or some- thin’! Now I s'pose the moths is got into my best blankets in that big Chest!” “Ma! What's the use of keeping this old busted tennis racket?” “Well, 1 s'pose it ain’t any use! But Almira used to play with it, when she and Henry wuz courtin’!” Almira has grown-up daughters now; but the ten- nis racket gets put back on the wall, for the sake of auld lang syne.) “Please, Mrs. Blank, do you want these packages of letters left in this old desk in the corner?” “Well, Sairy Jane, I kind-er hate, to burn them up—shoo! How they have faded since last spring! That pack- age tied with white ribbon is what Grandpa Snipes wrote to Aunt Lizzie when he was on a whaling voyage! Dear me! It's awful interestin’ to read how they were gone two years, and Aunt Lizzie's little Hegekiah was born meantime; and, well, theres’ a great deal of interestin’ family history in those letters! Yes, Sai Jane, t them back!” = w Now, saving letters is the first on the way to Brewster’s N::k—.:;g cept, perhaps, formal business letters.

Do let me have this green and white brocade skirt that you had when Willle was a Dbaby, 80 I can make a sofa pillow for the living room couch!” But, no! The green and white brocade goes back, with superannuated hats and bonnets, and shoes and gloves, Grandma Spicer’s hoop skirt, those old books that used to be in Grandpa Lester's ‘bookcase, wormeaten, dog-eared vol- u:g-x which nobody on earth will ever T Closets are filled with faded gar- ments which, if given to a rummage sale, might be of some use—to the very poor! ittle Ned's trundle bed, that old baby carriage in which John used to ride out—he’s a venerable judge now, in a distant city—old furs, har- nesses, umbrellas, pillows, chaire lack: ing the normal number.of legs, a de- crepit sofa, scores of articles fit only for the rubbish pile except that some indigent neighbor might get slight ser- vice out of them, are handled sloated over, dusted, discussed, then put back in place for the next season’'s cam- paign!
