HENDERSON GET YOUR RIGHT TO' VOTE. Many names appear upon the list of to-be-made voters this year indicating that those officials in charge of mak- ing voters will have some busy days if all who are entitled to the rights of suffrage appear to prove their claims. And they should. It is the course which every voter has been through and which every person en- titled to such privileges shoufd take, in justice to himself, to his neighbor and to the commonwealth. The opportunities which are offered for getting onto the voting list are not so frequefit but what they should be fully appreciated whenever they cppear. Failure to take the trouble to appear before the board, either by , those who have just become of age or those who have resided in town a sufficient length of time to be entitled tol vote here, is negligence of personal advantage. It is a poor time for the cultivation of the spirit of disinterest- edness. Such doesn’t indicate a prop- er concern in the affairs of town, state and nation. If those who can be made voters displayed the eagerness and in- terest of a very large number who cannot secure such privileges there would be none .of the long, lonesome, inactive sessions of the bogrd which makes yoters, Instead of forty, fifty or possibly sixty per .cent. of the to-be-mades stepping up and receiving the right to vote there should be much nearer the full list. Nothing is more im-/ portant than interest in public affairs. It is time to crush general apathy both in the matter of being made voters and also in the still ayeater duty of going lc: the polls on election day. PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY. It is gratifying, if true, that an im- provement is being shown in the in- dustrial condition and that there is hope for a business revival. It is time. For the past year and a half many in- dustries have been running on reduced time and no prospect of a betterment for the nany, out of work or barely ekeing out an existence. Under the present tariff conditions there was lit- tle hope for improvement. The coun- try. was being flooded with forelgn- made goods. The, trade balance ap- peared against us. Nevertheless prices have continued to advance, the work- ing people being caught between two “storms. There was reduced wages on 0\? side and higher cost of living on the other, - The opening of the war in Furope served to draw attention away from the operations of our new tariff regu- lations, but the fact that there has been a marked reduction in the amount of foreign goods brought fo this coun- try has brought opportunity back to the industries of this country. Not only can they rely upen the former curtailed business, but they gmust be Jooked to to meet the shortage from this foreign slump. This means bet- ter business conditions, a better mar- ket both in domestic and export trade, and as long as the war lasts it bright- ens ‘the prospects of Amgrican busi- ness activities, It serves to show the advantages ‘which accrue to this country under the important republican principle of a protective tariif, and at the same time the harm which has followed the tariff for revenue only bill which has failed to produce sufficient revenue to pre- vent a war tax in time of peace—a second taxation scheme against the people of the United States which was formerly paid by the foreign producers. The sending to congress of men who not only stand for, but will work for proper tariff regulations for the coun- iry and Connecticut is what is needed and those are to be found on the re- publican ticket. HOLLAND’S NEUTRALITY. Tntil proven otherwise the state- ment by Germany that the neutrality of Holland will be respected and that following the capture of Antwerp, no effort will be made to use the river Scheldt for naval purposes, must be accepted. The need doeg not prevail for the breaking down of Holland's position as it did in the case of Bel- gium. Just how extensive Germeany plans to bring her navy into operation in the English channel is unknown, but the situation at Ostend indicates that whatever ‘her plans may be it will be possible to make use of that port by the time any vessels can be brought into that vicinity. While it may be that Germany feels thoroughly justified in the manner which it has torn and erushed Belgium there are advantages which it secures through the retention of the friend- ship, or at least the neutral attitude, of Holland, while the disadvantages of its enmlity are worth preventing. Germany has done emough interpret- ing of treaties as scraps of paper to bring it to a realization of the atti- tude and judgment of the world, out- side those ‘countries involved, as to its justification under the circum- stances. Whether such has influenced its course concerning Holland is un- certain, in view of the other consid- erations in keeping Holland neutral, but if a nation’s word or treaty amounts to anything after the glaring violation which has been shown up to the world, it is high time that there was some evidence of it and proper respect shown to the Dutch. Holland doubtless realizes its good fortune in not offering a short cut into France. UNITED STATES PREPAREDNESS. The question which has been raised in congress by the resolution of Rep- reséntative Gardner of Massachusetts calling for a commission to inquine into the preparedness of the United States for war is one of great im- portance. If by “preparedness” is meant a condition which will lead us into war or others to war against us, such as has been attributed as one of the great underlying causes of the present conflict, it is well known what the attitude of this country is. If on the other hand it is desired to know how we actually stand for our own welfare and how effectively our large appropriations which are being made each year, are being spent, such might be for our interests, Though the country is iInclined to peace and arbitration, the time has not arrived when it can cease the proper maintenance of its military and naval standing. Such to a proper extent cperates for pease, but it is important that such expenditures as are made should contribute te the necessary and required preparation instead of being wasted. How our naval expenditures compare with other countries is shown by a British Admiralty report as fol- lows: 1906. 1914, . £37,159,000 £52,262,000 . 12,668,000 25,387,000 .+ 12,393,000 26,149,000 . 13,300,000 . 23,284,000 . 5,040,000 ° . 3,839,000 United States . 24,445,000 20,331,000 Japan ......... 2,385,000 10,024,000 ‘Total . £109,232,000 £185,158,000 Mr’ Gardner says a public search would open our eyes. If we are not getting from such expenditures as we are making, what we should, or if improvement can be made, it is bet- ter to know it now than later. —— FIGHTING DIVORCE. Despite the knowledge of its great percentage of increase from year to year divorce cases continue to make up a large proportion of the court dockets each year. This is true not only of one section, but throughout the country and particularly in the larger centers, Out in Kansas City they have a di- vorce proctor whose duty it is to in- vestigate as many applications for di- vorce as possible. That the ease with which dlvorce can be obtained in a great many instances has its favorable influence cannot be questioned. The records under the old laws of Nevada and Dakota disclose it.and it is equal- ly true that the attitude which is maintained towards divorce is to blame. Concerning the results of divorce Kansas City's divorce proctor declares that “The relief hoped for is not found. The woman usually marries again. ‘The second time it is for a home and seldom is the love part of it consid- ered. Again divorce becomes a habit. It is a frequent thing in a divorce case to .dearn that the husband has becn married two or three times and the wife'a similar number of times. The law which makes divorce easy is to blame.” ‘The divorce evil is one of the big problems which needs to be solved, but it will require an aroused publi¢ opin- ion-to do it. EDITORIAL NOTES. > In the baseball world Philadelphia has suffered as seriously as Louvain or Antwerp. Antwerp and the Athletics appear to have been held in fear solely on their reputation. There is nothing at this season of the year to commpare with the hunger of a forest fire. The activity of the Mexicans is caus- ing Uncle Sam to renew his former experiences along the border. It is a question now whether it will be peace or rain that will come first, h the farmers praying for both. Masse®husetts has a man who has been asleep for ten months, His rec- ord is exceeded only by some of the Dbull moose, It couldn't be expected that Ger- many and France would agree on the strategic value of Antwerp now that it has fallen. i The senate is thinking of sitting up nights with the new revenue bill and well it might for it is a harsh dose for a suffering nation. October has apparently been trying to live up to the ideal autumn month, and with a remarkable degree of suc- cess, except for a few things. peti ol oy If all the reported preparations and movements of troops in Europe could be relied wpon it would not be long before the war would be over. Just to even things up after six counties in Kentucky had gone d there has becn experienced an un. usually heavy rainfall, as a chaser. After congress reaches a decision as to what it is going to do fer the cot- ton states, it might consider what it ought to do for the wool growers. The president having come out against the one term plank that poor old Baltimore platform begins to look like a deserted weatherbeaten set of principles. Gates have been ordered for the Ber- lin railroad crossing where three were recently killed. So much for protec- tion, now for the proper respect from those Who go that way. BULLETIN’S Ex-President Taft Points Out New Haven, Oct. 15—Hon, William H. Taft when recently interviewed by Yale students in regards to the Euro- pean situation pointed out very de- cisively the importance of impartial ity in American universities. Briefly he stated that we should take the ex- ample of the national government and every Yale man should take home to himself President Wilson's wise in- junction as to neutrality. Unless these precautions were followed, we would be drawn into “this awful welter of blood which is casting a gloom over the entire world.” He expressed the opinion that it was important that all the, citizens of the United States and especially those who are supposed to represent intelligent public opinion, 2s the men of the universities, should be extremely careful in their public ex- pression of partisan sympathy with either side. He said that we in this free_country of ours little realize how much importance in Europe is attach- ed to expressions of opinion by the press or by the members of a uni- versity. The government in many European countries is prompted or in- spired by such expression of opinion. In a time such as this the countries at war are most sensitive to the ex- pressions of sympathy or of disap- proval by a neutral people. All friends of humanity hope that the time will soon come when President Wil- son may believe it to be opportune to renew his offers of mediation. His influence in the performance of this high duty® will be affected seriously if neglecting his injunction, university men give the impression that thé in- telligent_public opinion in this coun- is definitely formed so that the president’s tender will be from a rep- resentative of the friend on the one side and of the enemy on the other. A new development of the university life at Yale was the establishment of a branch station of the Western Union Telegraph company in the college sec- tion. This recent improvement is for the sole convenience of the Yale stu- dents. The office is situated in the ticket department, in easy access to the entire university. The main fea- ture, that of giving out scores of the various football games, has proved a great attraction for Yale .men, This week Timothy Parker Lathrop of South Canterbury, Conn. sas awarded the Connecticut Higk aool Tuition scholarship from Ne+ Lon- don county. Mr. Lathrop graduated from the Norwich Free Academy last June and entered <he academic de- partment this fall. These Connecticut High school tuition scholarships were established by the university with the approval of the state board of educa- tion and they provide for full tuition for the first year in either of the un- dergraduate departments for the suc- cessful candidates from each of the counties and from the principal cities of the state. Nineteen of these schol- arships were awarded Connecticut freshmen this past week. From New Haven High school, W. A. Pearson and F. L. Johnson. From New Haven coun- ty, A. R. Hyatt of Meriden. From Hartford High_school, Leslie M. Hill of Hartford. From Hartford county, E. B. Kelsey of Bristol. From Bridge- port High school, Robert Luippold of Bridgeport, from - Fairfield county, Herman Babel of Bridgeport. From Waterbury High school, Benjamin Meyers of Waterbury. - From Litch- field county, Philip Siling of New Mil- ford. From Middlesex county, Clar- ence N. Ostergren of Portland. From Tolland county, W. A. Sumner of Rockville. From the state at large, Ivan B. Martin of Winsted. The Wind- ham county scholarship was not awarded this year, there being no candidate. Other scholarships were those known as the New Haven High school schol- arships, established by the university at the request of the board of alder- men, the board of education and the principal of the high school of New Haven. Allan S. Rush and Irving C. Sheppard were the recipients of these awards. On account of the enlarged registr: tion in the college it has been neces- sary to make other arrangements in the seating of the students at Sunday chapel. This year in order to accom- modate the extra number of freshmen together with the visitors who are taking a greater interest in these ser- vices, some students have been asked to attend church services in New Ha- ven churches. Sunday chapel, which has in past years been compulsory for the Yale students, has created a wide interest among New Haven church- goers in that every winter a number of the influential preachers of this part of the country speak at Battel chapel. Dean Jones has deemed it unwise te remove the seniors, to whom considerable attention is given at this service and also in order to create among the freshmen a deeper interest in university activities it has been thought best to retain the freshman section. However, a large number of the junior class have been asked to attend service on Sundays at church- es of their own denomination in New CROSS, FEVERISH CHILDIS BILIOUS ORGONSTIPATED LOOK, MOTHER!

Haven, thus solving this new seating problem which this year confronts the faculty for the first time. In order that the students may keep in touch with the present develop- ments of the European war the Uni- versity library has taken advantage of this situation to extend its useful- ness by establishing authoritative maps for the instruction of Ygle men. The students of the department of geography have prepared a series of newy drawn maps of both the eastern and western frontiers of Germany, while a third illustrates the Dalma- tian campaign. Then again, the United States war office map which gives thé military stations and rallways is a great aid in understanding any ques- tions of transport. Upon the first two maps the positions of the opposing forces are indicated from day to day by colored pins and miniature flags. The maps will be amplified from time to time to meet new requirements and developments. The degree of interest manifested is indeed highly gratifying to the officials of the library who find that at least several hundred persons examine these maps daily. The work of maintenance is carried on by the Daily News in conjunction with the iibrary officials and geography stu- dents. . The guide service which was carried on so efficiently during the summer months, will be resumed again this fall. it was estimated that about 8,000 visitors availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing the university during the months of June, July, Au- gust and” September. This service which is carried on by the university is free of charge. The high terms of praise for the summer service prompt- ed the continuation of the service dur- ing the fall to be maintained every afternoon, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR > The Magic of Life. Mr. Editor: The little wonders us; the great wonders pass by un- noticed. The tricks of the stage wiz- ard attract and dazzle thousands who never reflect that his most astonishing feats are but clumsy imitations of - wonder worker at whose enchantments only a few ever stop to look, because to the unthinking they are common everyday affairs. In a world of dla- monds the homely pebble becomes a rare and curious object. The conjurer by clever mechanical devices, aided perhaps by a little illusion, causes an object to apparently float in the air—- ‘wonderful! Elsewhere an inventor by electrical ripuul_ve force causes a mass of steel {o hover in space or a train of cars to move without visible means of support—we read of it with amazement. All around us at the same moment are vast spheres of un- imaginable weight—millions of millions of tons floating in the ether as lightly as thistledown—hardly worth stop- ping to think about. Wonders of poise and equilibrium, of .transformation, of evanishment, and reappearance, all the marvels and mys- teries of the magician's parior er sci- entist's laboratory, performed at first hand by life, the greatest wizard of all, are held in light esteem in com- parison with small, pale imitations produced with much fret and labor by life's imitators. Let us suppose that we were without ‘all the many evi- dences which have been accumulated today in favor of a future life, a world beyond the one we know, an unseen world, populated by the men and wom- en who have joined the “great ma- Jority?" we should still have some war- Tant for a belief in its existence. A new world 2 new life, is not really hold more wonderful than the werld in which we find outselves today. The magical power which produced us and that vast and splendid fabric of visible nature In which we find ourselves might well be trusted not to have ex- hausted its possibilities with that one demonstration. It would be strange 0 think that with that manifestation it was at the end of its resources. True, there have been some who have fallen into that degree of limited thinking, making their foot rule the measure of infinity and declaring that anything bevond it was “all imagination.” Only imagination! And it was imagination )f the divinest kind that was at the back of all the wonders about them, and of all the possibilities to whicl they were blind. But life is not only the great illusionist—it 1s likewlse the great revealer. The doubters demand & sign, something they could see, and, wondering at it, belleve. And life with its inexhaustible magic respond- ed with generous indulgence. There were demonstration of intelligence “without brain,” levitation of objects without visible agency, transmission of thought without apparent means of communication, and manifestations cf forms, imperceptible to sight or touch. Life the magician provided them al, and those who saw believed, or were at least incited to think more deeply; while some of those who did not see or Dbelleve wrote many volumes to prove how! impossible it was, using thc magic powers with which life had pro- videa them to show how incredible it was that any such tning as magic could exist. There were phenomenal “voices,” t0o, and by the aid of still more wonderful voices the unbellevers expressed their entire incredulity re- garding the lesser wonder of the “di- rect voice” while at the same time, equipped with bodies the materialism of which was one of the greatest mar- vels of life the magician, they also derided the idea.of temporary and ar- tificial duplications of the same mani- festation. Standing upon a globe rest- ing on nothing_tangible, they pointed out the utter absurdity of the levita- tion by no visible agency of objects weighing even an ounce. However, some saw and wondered, and the great magiclan's purpose was in part achieved—the imagination which would not respond to the great miracles embraced with eagerness the small ones. All the wonders were to bée witnessed free outside that magic cabinet, the seance room, but they had become somehow dull and unconvinc- ing. They needed imagination to un- derstand, and the imagination was not there; otherwise its possessor would have seen in the world around him 2!l the “materialized spirits” necessary to support his faith in a spiritual world. But whether in the great or small things, the normal or supernormal de- partments of its wizardly, life the ma- gician is still far from being at the end of its ppwers, even:in the case of those who, ‘unconscious of the great wonders before their eyes, are nar- rowly suspicious of the less important but more special and isolated marvels the evidence for which rests on the testimony of their fellows. The dem- onstrations consequently are now to he more numerous, more varied, more ac- cessible. Life the magician catering for all grades of intelligence and hav- ing” no supercilious dignity, will con- descend still further in the matters of “parlor magic” until the world audi- ence is satisfled with his powers. And after having witnessed the small my: teries and learned the necessary le: son the spectators with enlarged minds will be able to go out and understand something of the greater mysteries, and awe and reyverence will take the place of flippancy and unbelief, for life is very patient’ and mindful of the needs of the humblest and most way- ward of its children, JAMES MINTYRE. 35 Ellsworth St., Hartford, Conn.
