HENDERSON " DEMOCRATIC INEFFICIENCY. :' The war tax in time of peace has beceme e law. It has passed congress, etved the slgnature of the presi- nt and gone into operation in part th ether previsions effective Iater. The sum af $90,000,000 is to be cdl- cted from the people in addition to other burdens urder which they Iaboring, . 'When the mew tar regulstions fwent Into effect over a year ago great romises wers held out to the people. o were to be cheaper, the high ost of Mving was to ¢ome down and here was to be e steady approach to te millenfum. What has been the re- g Has anyone discovered that shusiness has hoomed? Has anyone $found tbat the living cost has been Howered? Has the general working onditions besen hetter, or the cost of he duty-less merchandise dropped? ‘The fact is that we have lost in effective fully $150,000,000. We' we donated to Capadian lumbermen same time millions have been con- ributed to the sugar trust and the mmer pays more for his sugar. #0 the forelgn wool growers, but cloth- <¢osts no less. It is the same in lines of trade and despite it the present congress has discard- 'd its declared stand for economy and aches the record amount for appro- priations, To top it all off and make up a defi- Wit despite the income tax, the war is placed upon the country. There '#hould be no question in the mind of the thoughtful voter as to what he is ®oing to do about this kind of demo- leratic inefficiency. - i THE SOUND LINES. ~ +* The prespect that there will be an 'ty hearing upon the desire of the Haven road for the retention of J@he Sound lines of steamboats is a R - of vital interest to this section [éf the country, for New England as well as the raad is desirous that there shall be no separation of fhese trans- hortation lines, The determimation of ‘lb!u question lies with the interstate ‘commerce commission, which has the _power to permit the operation of the lines by the railroad if in their opinion i is justified.. + Tho Sound lines of -steamers are a valusble accommodation to business in the manufactaring centers of the New England states and such accommoda~ tion can be rendered with the great- est dgegree of efficiency when operated as e part of the railroad system. It is by these water lines that better 'service is possible since they prevent khe clogeing of the all rail lines, and pffords a direct and quick method for Xhe handling of the business of a large number of importamt manufacturing concerns. Operatcd as one unit and without compstition between the rail and water routes facility is given to freight traf- flc which would be impossible if the. steamboats and the railroad were own- ,ed by different companies and oper- ated separately. Though the situation {will be elearly presented before the commission by the railroad system no small weight should be given by the very fact that the voige of New Eng- land Is loud in its behalf. THE CANAL MANAGEMENT. *, With the mews that the slide In tle Wanama canal has been sufficiently overcome to permit the resumption of ravigation through that inter-oceanic .waterway, another demonstration is given of the efficiency of the force of engineers which Uncle Sam has in 'charge of that important work. Not only have they become thoroughly famijjar with such a task through their previous experience, but they have the combination of knowledge and equip- ment for the quick moving of such an obstruction. ‘The terrors of the landslides are fast diminishing and it is the cause for congratulation because the closing of the canal, even at this carly date, means the interference with & size- able amount of Tevenue. Though only receivinz business for a matter of two months there have been one hua- dred vessels taken through the canal up, to October seventh, with 2 tonnage | ARl 1Ze m week; GOe a Wew | which they have acted upon rather of 297,655 including a fleet of Nor- weglan whalers, which by the ex- penditure of $4,012 in tolls made & saving which aggregated at least sev- eral times that amount. Up to and including the first week in October there had been received from tolls and -pilotage the sum of $369,706, which un- der the circumstances with much of the foreign shipping demoralized not only indicates what may be expected later, but discloses what would be se- riously reduced should the canal be closed for any great length of time. The slide brings renewed attention to what the canal is doing, but more particularly to the capable manage- ment under which ft is being conduct- ed. MAKING LAWS. In his address in Washington before the American Bar association Senator Elihu Root called attention to the ten- dency which has existed througheéut the country for the enactment of new legislation. Fle referred to the record in the congressional library where it ‘was shown in the period of five years from 1909 to 1813 inclusive that there were passed a total of 62,014 statutes in the different states of the union, Such is a rapid filling up of the ‘statute books and thets is né ques- tion but what such was a result of the tendencies of the times. Legisla- tures too often expect their work to be judged by the volume of business than by the value of the laws passed. A great quantity of weak legislation, | thé passage of ill-advised and non- understandable laws may serve to rofl up a large grand total of bills acted] upon favorably, but such does not nec- essarflly mean that the interests and welfare of the commonwealth are con- scientiously served.. Each and every session of a state legislature, whether it meets every year ©OF once in two years, has much werk ‘before it and such consists of the pas- sage not of a gre number of laws, but of laws which are carefully draft- ed, laws which are needed to remedy existing conditions and laws which are sensible with the necessary provisions for their enforcement. The law mak- ers can well adopt the policy of safe- ty and sanity in lawmaking. ELIMINATING ILLITERACY. The governor of the state of Ken- tucky has appointed a commission for the ellmination of illiteracy in that stute. Such is to be considered an entirely separate undertaking from the general educational movement, but it is a step in the right directfon .and which every state can with profit adopt. . Kentucky has a large numbér of {lliterates, the adults who are unable to read or write numbering 208,000 and it must be realized that what- ever can be done to materislly reduce that number is going to resuilt to the betterment of the citizenship of the’ state as well as the individual wel- fare. Most states have found the com-, pulsory educational law a mest valu-~ able factor in overcoming such con- ditfons in each succeeding generation, but in Kentucky the need of reach- ing the adults is recogmized. In Connecticut the number of fil- Lierates is far less than in Kentucky, the total number being $3,665, but even that number is too large for a state where educational facilities are what they are in this commonwealth, This effort in Kentucky where hundreds of teachers have volunteered to aid in the overcoming of the curse and shame of flliteracy cannot fail to be a glowing example to states which reveal as bad if not worse conditions. The need of eliminating illiteracy is generally real- ized, but such a step Kentucky has taken gives evidence of an earnest and determined.-attack upon the shortcom- ings of the educational system of the past, and it deserves to succeed. EDITORIAL NOTES. « There is some vigilant watching of neighbors in the region about the bat- tle-scarred Balkans. Possiply Harvard can now arrange an armistice between President Emer- itus Eliot and Prof. Munsterbers, Troops are to remain in Vera Cruz until the friction is over. There ought to be as much certainty in Colorado. That British ship sunk with a tn cargo of a half million, may vet prove a gold mine to some treasure hunter. 1 The man on the corner says: The ‘best argument of the pessimist is that any chestnut is likely to have a worm in it. . The report that Hudson bay is full of ice must stir up the envy among some of the dealers who are running short. Great Britain's placing of oil on the contraband list is somewhat tardy for the guidance of shippers engaged in legitimate trade. The curtailing of the American Thread company to forty hours a week because of business depression tells the story of democratic legislation. That Chicago fashion designer who declares the new 'skirts must reach just below the knees probably has a. hunch that it will be a wet winter, . The Iowa aviator has established a new distance record for continuous flight but the high cost of living is not likely to be approached on an endur- ance flight. . ———— The appeals in behalf of aid for the Belgians are unquestionably made in a deserving cause, but the situation ought to meam the putting of a len on Geérmany. Onty a short time ago whan Mn Roosevelt entertained William Sulzer, he called him a friend. Now he terms him a crook. It must be nerve-rack- ing to be so fickle. After the manner in which they*have been led around throughout the lomg ession 1t must be a little surprising to the president to have congress balic at tais cleventh hour. —_— The iron_cross fad in Europe may yet mean iron bracelets, stickpins and beads in this country, but it is ore- suming @ good deal to expect that they will ever be popular. The assistant secretary of the navy now declares as in ‘support of Con- gressman Gardner's intimation of un- preparedness that 71 of our ships would be useless in war time.

But it, THE MAN WHO TALKS | It seems to me as if the world to- day is witnessing as never before the hypnotic power of a false idea. Na- tions who kmow the truth and profess it are violating every Divine precept in a selfish desire of governmental su- premacy when the only supremacy of lasting value is that which is found- ed upon Divine example: - We witness the mentally great and the devoutly distinguished all united with the mass- es in their approval of conquest, van- dalism, murder and pillage for no nobler purpose than to become rec~ ognized rulers of the earth, We wit- ness churches as organizations ap- plauding and praying: o asking God to promote unholy ambitions and unholy causes. It was-Mackensie whe said: Manki in the gross is & gaping monster that foves to be de- ceived and seldom has been disape pointed.” God may help them who help themselves, but not those who help themselves to .their neighbor's prop- erty.

Af- fairs of life can only look uncertain to people uncertain in their on of God's love and power. They do not become half conscious of the light or glory He sheds abroad every day—the blessings he bestows upon earth every moment. The shabbiest kind. of a Christian is the one who distrusts the author of life and wears a melancholy mask. How could Jesus be a man of sorrows when he was conscious of the full glory of Gad's power and the jus- tice of His laws and the final destiny of all mankind? Christians ought to have glad hearts and peace of mind e the Prince of Peace is their friend and makes no false promises.

You may not tree many, but you will tree enough to discover that your lot has finer. than you thought it had. forlorn hope themselve of misery. If there was ever a human lot S0 bad it could not have been male worse we have never been able to dis- cover it. Many a person who thinks his lot is almost too hard to bear has found that a cheerful looking and pleasant spoken neighbor was in twice as hard luck and never thought of men- tioning it. There is no. cure for vain imaginings like a revelation of the truth with reference to others. Hope never burdens your mind and it is often as. good stored there as gold in your pocket. What you need is a new vibration—get out and shake yourself and discover you are all wool and a yard wide and capable of keeping your No man was ever heard to complain because a sermon was too short, or a minstrel show too long. Man is oppos- ed to having life made too serious—he never loses his infantile fancy ~ for amusement, He likes to have every- thing clothed attractively—he wants a little sugar in all his medicamenta. Billy Sunday can clothe a Bible story in the vernacular and 10,000 people turn out to hear it. It doesn’t seem to be dead when he expresses it in ‘baseball lingo; but the strength of the story is ngt lost in verbiage. To get tesults of any kind human taste must be humored and the demand of the human mind be catered to, Trade rec- ognizes that it must make Brazilian shoes for Brazilians and Brazilian clothes, not American, if it ts a booming trade. The baseball braln likes a baseball sermon best. Men who want gospel truths hot from the bat are disappointed if they do not so get them. Religious truths that are served. like cake in society are not adapted to the fancy of the multitude.

I am told that a young Woman in New London is m: a nice income Y gelling what she New Orleans crullers. This is because she eells not only the doughnut but the “hole. That portion of the dough cut out by the coolc and generally gathered up in- to another cruller she fries with the rounds, in a wire basket; and after reunds and balls hlvst:ee!:h;lpfl.r.lkig ‘with powdered sugar, 4 les’ put back imto place. The tempting looking crullers sell at sight; and nine out of ten mortals start to eat the holes qrst! The doughnut has been one of the standard jokes New England, as venerable as the witticisins about the mother-in-law, the lodge, putting up & stove-pipe, and the perfume of the onion. A local woman on her return from & vacation visit on the Massachusett: coast, adked about hef trip replied, “Ob, we had a perfectly lovely time!

Irving de- scribed the fondness of the Dutch in lent New Yorik for their “oley- col —oily cakes, sweet dough fried in lard or drippings. In one g{lHo'Gll'l stories there is interesting incident which has to do with lite in a° Maine T camp, where the Canadian cook, after their breakfast of fried pork and potatoes, thick slices of butterless bread and coffes sweetened with rltm‘::”" \51‘" the lumberjacks & so cruller; twisted strips of dough which he had fried in lard and sprinkled with spice and sugar. The men relished these “to top off with,” before starting into the woods for their hard day's work. On the same principle, New Eng- landers of colonial days and their de- scendants of later times reiished the doughnut, raised or otherwise. Any horseman knows when his steed begins to gnaw his crib that he craves a change of food—some element nec- essary to his comfort is lacking. So in the much-derided doughnut-eating of our ancestors there was a reason! Fancy those good folks rising before dawn, on a y morning before the era of steam or furpace heat, or even of a substantial cook stove. In later daye, there would be a solid break- fast of oatmeal porridge, maybe, or ohmny-cakes, ham amd eggs, hash, acon, dried beef, pork fried with sliced apples, some sSimple stew, per- haps, of the meat cured on the farm. There would be “brown bread coffes,” or cambric tea as & hot drink. Corn cakes or corn fritters, clams in various | T, most peeple’s opinions are better than thelr ~ arguments. The opinions of others we fear unmindful of the fact most of them are feeble spectres. We are all likely to have opinions today we do not care to mention to-morrow. The people who say “my opinon” with coneeit and emphasis usually over- value thir-own conclusions. The men who have opinions talk, but those who have convictions act. SUNDAY MORNING TALK SPIRITUAL ATHLETICS. A word that people should carefully remember as they advance in years is word “exercise.’” The temptation is strong, especially for large numbers of city-bound folk to ignore’it. In an age of street cars, automobiles, eleva- tors, and all kinds of devices to make us lazy, multitudes do not get such vlr?nrwl physical exercise as is a prime condition of health. The seden- tary, conflning occupations by which thousands of Americans earn thelr bread must resolutely be supplemented by daily exercise, in the open alir, whenever possible, if vi’or is to be maintained fnto serene old age. The doctor savs it; and observation and experience prove that he is right. As patrons and spectators of sport we rival the anclent Romans. Ten thousand people will assemble any day from April to October to watch 18 high-salaried gentlemen play the na- ional game. The only competitor with e war news the past months has been the baseball news. An now football is at hand, with the thomghts of col- lege boys as much on the gridiron as on textbooks. The tendency is not unwholesome. In spite of possible abuse this devotion to athletics must be counted a biessing. The only pity i is that so many are content merel> to asit on the bleachers and shout they ought, for the good of their health, to be throwing themselves. balls or kicking ins . the athletic ideal may w\ll be extended to cover the higheras well as the lower ranges of life. The spirit no less than fhe dbody of man needs exercise. The moral muscies must be trained and developed. Why should the physical part be dafit up in vigor yhile the spiritnal is allowed to re- main mv..na’ ‘Why should I pull the and making no effort to develop a capable soul? Any power slips unconscicusly but surely from one who rarely or never uses it. Atrophy of even our fines: n | instincts follows their neglect. Through becomes disuse the soul as moribund as the arm v;«la!u!d tm:: oo;:m :r years it were allwed to bang limp by one’s side. The Hindoo fakir will ex- and mot of Christianity, ways a Gospel of life and never a savor of death. % “Eixercise thyself unto Godliness” says the Apostle. Put your soul in tratning. Cultivate and develop your moral natgre by giving it something to do. Exercise your will in rightecus- uness. Choose the right as over against the easy and expedient thing. Put behind your back some insidious temp- tatlon. Yield to the good and gemerous finpulse, Bring yourself inte the mood of prayer and practise its expression. Allow regular ne t and exer- cise and discipime to your immortal part. It is surely as important as to develop sound wind or museles of steel. Men sometimes tell me that they are not hostile to religion, but simply indifferent to it. They are like Gallio of old, who “cared for none of these things.” Their spiritual perceptions have become duil. They speak the ex- act truth waen they tell of their lost interest. ; But “there’s a Teason.” A resuilt like that is not only possible, but imevit- able, when the concerns of the spirit are systematically neglected. No hu- man faculty can stand being mal- treated. They need. these indifferent- ists, to carry into the epiritual realm what all the world knows to be requi- site in the physical realm. They need to bestow intelligent care on the soul, to iimber up its muscles by use. They must exercise themselves unto Godli- ness. Tt is the indispletr};sable prescrip- tion for spiritual health. THE , PARSON. dryg s| except the few which had for sale im: forms, often formed part of the break- fast, which had to be substantial; for thege people had a big and a hard day’s work before them. A few bits of flakes out of a gay package would have been of IHttle use to stay the puritanical stomach against the labor of plowing stubborn fields, felling giant trees, threshing. cleaning uo rocky land, and what not. At the’same time the women were looking well to the ways of thelr hagnholdl. ‘washing, galti:hiu m and .pewter, making butter, $p flax, weaving carpets, or sewing and Lrals i lothing thy e T e | moter = ned loared to cosk and| every member of the household, pul- verizing corn, getting out the yeéars supply of candles, soap, etc., picking and drying peppers, appies, herbs, ot al. They had no bakers to depend upon, no laundryman, no grocers, no delicatessen stores, no oods ported goods at, in many cases, al- most prohibitive prices. early times and in later timas, women worked from dawn to dusk. Now, under such conditions the bit of sweets in the shape of “fried calke” —or even pie—was just the element required to top off the colonial break- fast. In these days shameful multi- plication of hospitals and sanitariums, it always make me laugh to hear mod- ern, hygienic (sic) house-keepers snser at the unhealthy old days of the past! Were they unhealthy? Visit any rural burying-ground, and read the tomb- stones! Note how n Jomes died in ‘his 97th year; and see on eithe,. side of his simple slab his first wife, removed by a tender Provi- dence when she was 87, and his_second mate, cut oft in the midst of her years, a} 79 and maybe Sally, his third affinity, gathered to her fathers, at 92! They were not fash. ionable, those early and primative folk; so outlived - doughtnut diet and had no appendicitis or heart failure from inordinate coffee drinking, (or other drinking) or excessive candy- munching, or lack of exercise, to e angels of them, at 40 or even earlier! Human nature is much the same in all generations. And the man whose grandfather only lived to be 99 because, forsooth, he ate pie doughnuts, fancies himself superior when he bolts his modern paste-board-| break- fast, varied with a melon, thin toas and a cup of strong coffee. So, top, his womenfolks sneer at the menus of great-grandmother's days. But—just before noon said man grows an all- gone feeling; amd will slide for a drug store, to get some pick-me-up in the shape of a milk shake or coll dreadfully far away, and will dip into their candy boxes, or nibble a cooky. It's the old principle—humanity craves sweets; sugar creates energy; and when our. forbears topped with a big, fat, puffy cruller, they but acted on instinct. to learn the recips of ns crullers with the “holes,” and succeeded in getting hold of this, a good one: One cup milk, one cup sugar, 3 eggs, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder, sifted in the flour, and a little salt and nutmeg. Add flour to make them as soft as you can well handle. Beat yokes and whites of eggs separately; add the whites of the eggs the last $hing after the flour has been added.
