NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915 SELF-DENIAL MAKES FOR INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY (Written Specially for The JBulletin.) Occasionally we hear some one speak of an “old-fashioned virtue.” It's an unfortunate phrase. For no yeal virtue ever gets out of date or Decomes *‘old-fashioned”. The moral lanws of the universe are quite as im- mutsble as its material laws. They change not with seasons or centuries. Nor are they capable of suspension, temporarily, to meet the desires of either an individual or of the race. ‘ That a man ehall reap what he sows is exactly as true of a ‘wild oats” crop @s of a wheat crop. That “sweet sins shall come to cruel recompense” is_exactly as certain as that water will run down hill. unfortunate though the phrase may be, it describes a sit- uation that exists. If not literally ., end textually correct at least it has a certain picturesqueness which makes it—the phrase—stick in. the memory Bnd trip off the tongue. No virtue is ‘old-fashioned” in the sight of Eternal Truth, and none is “old-fashioned” before the scales of Eternal Justice. We shall make a sor- Iy mistake if we think any one is. We shall be laying up for ourselves much trouble and sorrow and loss if we act on the assumption that any one c 18, Just the same, a whole lot of us, sometimes, a big majority of us, think that very thought and act on that very essumption. Nevertheless, The times change, as we all know. Pherefore we argue that we must, or # least may change with them. Which is absolutely and exactly true, €0 far as methods and systems are in- volved. Which is never either true or even plausible o far as principles and laws are concerned. The first water-wheel was an “un- dershot”. Later, it was discovered that an “overshot” wheel would give more power with less water. Still later, the turbine was found to do better yet. But all these changes ‘Were based on no change in the law of gravity, which commands that all free water shall seek its level. They were based merely on the discovery of better methods for securing the help of that unvarying and invariable law. The laws of the moral universe are just as certain as those of the phys- cal. But, because they work slowly often times seem to delay unac- countably, a whole lot of us get the ddea that some of them have stopped ‘working or can, perhaps, be circum- -vented. When one of these moral ed- fcts gets in the way of our greed or our slothfulness and we.ignore or defy it for a few years without being “fat- - wlly killed” in consequence, we leap to the conclusion either that it has ‘been overcome by our superior “smart- pess”, or that it has gone out of com imission,—has become “old-fashioned” &nd out of date. Just at present, the virtues of econ- omy and self-heipfulness are appar- ently, considered by a vast number of » people to be in this class. The idea Ehat the way to secure a_competence was by earning and saving, has, truly, lbecome ‘old-fashioned”. It's too slow for the younger, on-coming generation, @nyway. They take no stock in_ the #theory’ it 18 well to go without somepl now, in order to insure comforts later on. They want to *maie” money, mot earn it. They have no idea of saving it. They sim- Ply snigger if you suggest the ancient gaying that one can't have his cake bnd eat it, too, both at the same time. They intend to use all they can get, now, right off, this minute, and ex- Pect to have somebody see to it that they shall continue to have what they want, later, when the evil days come and income is reduced. Right there is where the worst fea- ture of the sorry affair shows itself. The very people who show no' self- restraint; who yield to every desire which happens to blow through them; who exercise mno forethought; ‘who make no attempt at any form of in- surance against future need; who spend every day or week all the day or week has brought in—these are the ones who, when earning power is lessened for any cause and income re- duced, turn upon their fellows who have shown self-restraint and fore- sight and economy, and_either whim- per at their doors for help or a them with virulent abuseand blatantly demand that they turn over a share of their savings. The other day, at a public meeting in New York city to consider the case of the unemployed, one young man rose and openly stated that he had turned theif. He averred that he couldn’t get what he called ~decent” 'wages; that it cost him at least ten dollars a week to live; that he couldn’t find_anything which would bring him in that sum, and that he should steal what he needed from those who had it, till they got good and ready to pay him what he assumed he was worth. He expected to be caught, some time, and sent “up the river”, meaning to Sing Sing prison, but he’'d rather do that than work for less than what he felt he wanted. ‘Whereupon an older man in a back seat sprang to his feet and. entered a protest. He was, he said, a carpenter. He was a good one, too, and had earned big wages when employment was plenty. Now it happened to be lacking. He had been unable to find a job at his trade at any sort of wages. He was, like hundreds of other skilled workmen in the big city, temporarily out of work and without income. But he had saved a little when he did have work. In one of the city workshops, started to tide over the winter for those like him, he had. found- some- thing to do which brought him in fifty cents a day. It was hardly one- tenth of his normal wages. But it helped and he shad found that he could, by the strictest economy, actu- ally live on it, till something better offered. Also, little as it was, he earned it. He didn't steal it: he didn’t beg it: he was prouder of that paltry half- dollar which was manfuily earned and got more solid comfort out of it.than he could out of any dollar doled out in charity or dishonestly- obtained. But,—the “unemployed” cheered the self-confesed young thief &ven more warmly than this rugged old defender of a manly virtue! Which is just another straw showing which way one wind blows. “The sure and straight road-to-in- dependence and success is saving money,—and it's the.only one. Make no mistake about that” So said, the other day, a markedly successful bus- iness man, who began as a workman’s ‘helper at a bench in the big shop he now owns in full. There’s no use quoting Benjamin Franklin ‘and “Poor Richard.” The very mention of their ‘old-fashioned” Dhilosophy would: provoke a_sneer on the faces of the new generation. But let me clip two paragraphs from a re- cent letter by one of the most influen- tal ana Teally succeseful men . out west:— “The writer once worked hard for Bear amy:-.

His board and waskh W furnished, and why should he He didn't like the ide: of being a -laborer all his life, vainly looking for ‘employment’_in bad times and earning and spending all he got in_good times. “That didn't seem to him a very high aim in life, although he did not object a particle to being a hired man on farm, in-lumber camp, on ‘the diver’ or railroad, til he had enough saved up to start for himselt.” Out in Chicago | hear of a strike by cents an hour, because th can't live on.the sixty-five cents an hour they have been getting! The average farm-hand of today gets better than double - the wages the writer I-have quoted saved $14.95 out of,—and the said average farm-hand doesn’t save a dime of it. Says he n't. At least those in my bishopric so. I know a man who used to:earn, and spend, about $3,000 a year. Cir- cumstances,—no matter what they were, not under ‘his control,—suddenly and sharply reduced his earning power to $185 one year. And he lived the year through on it, lived himself and supported three oth- er people. He never pretended that he lived as he wanted to, or that he had all he'd have liked. Fe didn’t set up his experience’ as-a model, nor_assert that everybody should always live. at that rate. Simply, he preferred to live with Spartan frugality, to do without . ev~ ervthing in the line of luxuries and mich in the line of comfort, rather than beg, borrow or steal. Really, the question of saving de- pends a great deal less on the amount of one’s income on the vigor of one's thrift. A mancan save on “$15 a month and_foun save something, if he really wants to. Or he can spend $15 a day, if he has it to spend and wants to_spend rather than save. It's in the man rather than his earn- ings what-he shall save. Some years ago a Philadelphia ph: sician with a good income and ex- pensive personal tastes, a man accu tomed to'living at his club and pay- ing $1.50 for his breakfast and in pro- portion for lunch and dinner, became much worried over the complaints of some of his poorer patients that they couldn’t exist on their wages. He de- termined to see what 4 man in the ty could live on. So he made up an equate ration, one that supplied all the food necessary for himself in his daily work, one that kept up his strength and his weight fully to the normal, but allowed nothing for caprice or luxury. He lved a full h on it, coming out in better cal shape than when he began— at an agregate cost for all his food and drink of t-e-n cents a day! But when he told his experience to the complaining patients and offered to show them how to live wholesome- ly, healthfully and economically on less than half what any one of them was hpending. he was met with sneers and abuse rather than with gratitude. Now, | don't want to have to live one ten cents a day. I don't want anybody else to have to. I should like to live daily on the best the land af- fords, to have my automobile and plenty of change 'in my left hand pocket for any emergency. I wish ev- erybody-else could do the same. But we can’t, many of us, do that. We must cut our coats from the cloth we have. There are too many people, as it is, buying automobiles on a one- horse income: too many buying beer and delicatessen on a bred-and-cheese income. It may seem absurd to be preaching the virtues of economy to a &bt of men like New England farmers, who have to practise pretty close frugality even to make both ends meet. But there are farmers,—and farmers. Those whom the coat doesn't fit, needn't try it on. I think there are some whose neighbors, at: least, will admit that they aren’t fully as saving as they might be! THE, FARMER. DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Creditors’ Claims Against A. F. Wood Compan.

Her husband has been dead many years. The’ family came here from Norwich.. Mrs: Quinn was a de- vout member of St. James' church and a Christian woman of innumerable vir- tues, .

Crandall, principal of the ommercial school addressed s of the Putnam Business association Friday evening on of Salesmanship and Busi- ness Efficiency. Mr. Crandal was heard with particular interest, mot only for the value of his address, but as well on account of the fact that he lived in Putnam as a young man. It is claimed by some that had the auto chemical been equipped with a pump, as was urged by some when the ‘machine was to be purchased, the Per- rin Hill fire Thursday could have been extinguished before it caused more than a small fraction of the damage harged to it. Some Object to Fountain. Mayor Archibald Macdonald has hed his attention called to the desire of some to have the drinking fountain. in Union square removed on account of the ever present danger of horses de- veloping glanders from using a com- mon drinking place. There have been no cases of the disease hereabouts, however, as far as is known. The fountain is a great convenience and it cannot well be removed without supplying some adequate substitute. Friday afternoon five different horses, all from out of town, were watered there within ten minutes and scores of animals quench their thirst there during the course of a day. FUNERAL. Miss Malvina A. Howe. At Thompson Friday afternoon fu- neral services for Miss Malvina A. Howe, one of the founders ‘of the Howe-Marot school for girls, were conducted by Rev. J. K. Moore.

It is said that a special city meet- Ing is contemplated for the purposes of ascertaining whether the city will vote to make an appropriation suffi- cient to meet the cost of laying amisite paving from the junction of Main and Union streets past the Union block and on Union square, this work hav- ing beeri contemplated when the first of the new paving was laid in the fall of T913. There is only a small amount of paving to be laid to complete the work here and give a fine approach to the railroad station, as well as making a fine first impression upon visitors to the city. The expense of making the improvement would not be heavy, it is said. James Tucker Going to Providence. James Tucker, formerly of Green- ville, R. L, has finished work for the French Textile company at Mechanics- ville and is to enter the employ of R. H. Swift and company of Providence, as o trayeling salesman.

The Church of St. James, Picca- dilly, which Mr. Aubrey Strahan, di- rector of the Geological Survey of Great Britain; says is falling out of the perpendicular, was built by Sir Chris- topher Wren to the order of Jermyn Earl of St. Albans, whose name is im- mortalized in the street that was im- mediately ‘behind it. Extravagant textbook writers have been known to describe this church as being the Mas- ter's chef d’oeuvre. This is nonsense, of course, and is provoked by-a na- tural admiration of the manner in ‘which he treated the square box of an interior to make it hold 2000 per- sons. The church as a whole, makes a pleasing 4nd an old-fashioned appear- ance in a modernized Piccadilly.
