It wasn't necessary for the dying, strike of the outlaw raiiread men to} demonstrate to the people of the coun- try the importance of the motor trueks in the transportation of goofs, for long. as well as short distances. There have) been numerous occasions in the pest sev- eral years when it has been .ghown that this quick means of getting deliveries was getting increased recognition, and congestion on the railroads have necessi- thted a resort to this method of moving goods. It has had a serious effect upon a profitable part of a trolley company’s profitable part of a trplley compeny's business, and there are those who take consideration of the advertising benefit that is gained from the maintenanee of motor truck service even when such a method of distributing their goods may involve a greater expense than as if sent by r: jut the present strike situation bas nevertheless awakened some to the fact that large communities are much less at the mercy of those who by their strikes wanld prevent them from obtaining feod anti fuel in sufidient quantities. It was not many years ago that the stopping of raflroad traffic was an exceedingly seri- out matter. We have by no mesns the point where it is mot today, but it s been realized that motor truek ser- has developed to the point where it to greatly reduce the embarrass is of course due to the number trucks available. Between New and Saybrook one day last weck led trucks were passed going in Tt was for the most all probability, emergency ser- to rallroad conditions, but it shows how much less de- need be placed mpon the rail- rving the public and how ex- directions. road; s for se e a the means of transporting able and needed goods in case con- s make it necessary to resort to a temporary substitute, With a million pounds of cotton fab- ric moved out of easiern Connectieut ¢ Rhode Island to the middie west in 2 week to relieve the shortage of mater- caused by the freight tisup, it shows at reliance can be placed upon the motor truck when conditions make it nec- essary. w DEALING WITH LUNATICS, Not solely because of the place of at- tack, but because of the lack of any reason and the way it was done the murder of Dr. Markoe in a New York church directs attention to the way in which those who are of unsound mind are regarded as to being allowed their Iiberty! There are many instances where the unfortunate person is not inclined to violence, or if such a mania exists it is quite as often the disposition to harm #elf rather than someone else, but there are repeated instances where those who have been regarded as perfectly safe and who have progressed a long way toward recovery have been allowed to go home from institutions only to result in even worse tragedies than this which ocour- red in New York. In the case of the slayer of the emi- ment surgeon, a total stranger, there is presented the instance of the insane man but in none of which apparently was he regarded as a dangerous person or pos- €essed of a homicidal mapia. This is disclosed by the statement of the man bimself that it was with ease that he sscaped since they didn’t watch him very carefully. Yet this same insane man, who carried a revolver, was not considered dangerous enough, in spite of B& fact that it was understood he need- #d institutional care, to keep him un- der such restraint that his escape would be impossible. It probably is mot the easfest matter to determine whether a per- ®on I8 apt to endanger the public or wheo his disease may take such a turn In the homicidal direction. And certain- Iy there is no disposition to see people kept within four walls unless safety to self and others require jit, but this very case nevertheless e) the fact that too much care cannot be exercised in seeing that such people are not per- mitted to be at large, It is better that thers should be a prolonged restraint of one than that the lives of many sheyld be endangered. CHICAGO RATES, Flow the profiteering habit is spreading beyond the bounds of the the middlemen and the retafers, and how these who have felt its effeets are will- ing to put it into practice to their own advantage is well jjlustrated by the situation which has arisen in Chicage as the result of the national republican convention which is to be Reld there in Jume. ‘With such a large gathering as wil] be sttracted by such a convention it is to be expected under any circumstances that hotel and rooming rates will jump up- ward in keeping with the demand. This is fnvariably the case, whether the eity is large or small provided the attendanes is going to be sufficiently large to tax the capacity. And even under ordinary cireumstances there, are certain advan- tages which some desire, which s fully tnderstood i advanee, and which those getting them are called upen to pay for. Those who have found difficulty in get. ting hotel accommodations and have tumed to private residences are ensoun- tering the holdup people.

For a considerable time the migratory court of the United States. awaiting 3] decision as to its constitutionality, the matter having gone to the court on the /| ples that it interfered with state rights and therefore should be declared ineffec- tive, - This law was passed for' the purpose of protecting the birds which move from one part of the country to the other as the seasons gchange. These migratory birds are of much importance in the protection of our crops and our-forests, 1o say pething of the pleasure that they give. In many states they are protect- ed by laws, In others they get the pro- teetion they deserve because of ‘their known and recognized worth, but in some they are the targets of pothunters who eare mothing for what they do so long as they are provided with something to shoot at, and who seem to get pleas- ure out of slaughtering birds that are easy to sboot because of the considera- tion they receive in many states. It is ‘bocanse of the way in which these pot- bunters have operated that many of the waluable birds are today extinct or on the verge of it. The law in this country supports the treaty between this country and Great Britain rélative to the migratory birds which go from here into Canada and vice versa and the upholding of the consti- tutionality of the Jaw means that there will be federal protection for the birds instead of trying to rely.upon state ac- tion, when one state might he faverably inclined and. its neighbor uninterested or knother lukewarm, in its protective measures. ¥ Aecording fo the ‘majority opinion of the eourt the birds, becamse of a ! stay in apy ome state, .can. hardly be regarded as sybjecting them to property rights in ope ‘state so that they can ‘be unprotected there while others are anxious for their assistance: The mi- gratory birds can far better be ‘dealt with under federal control and it is this view that the supreme court takes in finding the law constitutional. CABRERA’S OVERTHROW. Guatemala is apparently in a mood to receive congratulations. It feels like.a youngster who has been freed from af’ long period of unpléasant ‘memories and sees the promise of brightér days ahead. This is due to the:ending of the pres- idency of ~ Eist Cabrera by strong arm metliods but. action which was con- sidered necessh®y to emerge from the dictatorial control of the regime which has held that country wunder an iron rule for more than a score of years. In view of the high handed control it is not surprising that the change came about as it did but how “defiant Cabrera was of the determination to oust him was shown by his ordering the bombardment of the capital where hundreds—of lives were needlessly sacrificed. Cabrera apparently owes his downfall to himself and to his view of the au- thority and power of a president of that republic. - Like a littls czar he-has di~ rected the affairg of Guatemala.

There are a lot of farmers in New BEngland who will say Amen to | these sentiments. Farmers may worry a little now, but they are going to have plenty of com- pany later, if the policy of maljig ag- riculture the goat, is insisted upon much longer. JOHN R, BOWMAN, JR. Norwich, April 20, 1920. Unity of the Christion Church Mr. Editor: I would like to say a few words in regards of the interchurch movement. , “It is safe to say that there is no question of greater impomance in the religious world today than the unity of the Christian Church. With so many hundreds of different sects and denom- inations, the question naturally arises— Which is the true church? - The Rom- an Catholic church quickly answers that their's is the only true church, and every Protestant, when drivep to final analysis of the case, while more careful in his statemerts, Wwill admit that he believes that his particular sect or de- nomination is the only true church. Now, with all of these conflicting opinions and positive assertions made by over five hundred different sects and de- nominations, with all of their bickerings and discussions about forms and creeds, is ' it any wonder that many are all at sea. to know what to do? Hence the ques- tion becomes one of transcendental im- portance. Which is the’ true church? Gentlemen, the Bible and it alope can determine this question and no matter how long a denomination has been in existence, or’ who its founders were, the Bible is the court of last resort. Henoe, we ask again, What says the Bible? Did Christ establish a denomination? Is any human organization the church of Christ? It is certain that we cannot go outside the Bible to seek the truth, for nothing is so clouded with the mist of tradition, error and deception as early church history. (See History of Rom- anism, Page 67.) Christ, and He alone, is the hesd of the Christian church; Eph. 1:22, 23. The best Bible scholars know that there is not a vestige of authority in Holy Writ for human church organiza- tions, and -the best historians know how human organization took sits rise, (See Robinson’s Researches. Chapter 8.) The only man today whe ean show the infidel his “Waterloo” is the one who has “Come out of “human organization, and denominationlism, and stands for Christ, and Christ only at the Head of Bible Christianity, and Bible rule, with the church. / The necessity of human orgenization is argued from the stand- point of unity and issionary endeavors. The question is asked, How esn the people be held together without human orgenization? How can we Carry on our work in the mission fields? The above question might be answered by asking: What held the early Christian asembles together? How did they per- form such wonders in missionary effort? They bad no human head or erganisa- tion. - God has organized His church better than it can possibly be done by human agencies. The same God holds the world in space can and does hald His people together witheut amy human bonds or federation, and this He does by His Spirit.

At twenty-three he entered the army as a leutenant, and he -remained in it forty years, until he was ipaugurated president. Yet he had seen only little fighting with the Indians before his campaign in Mexjco, where he ecom- ‘meanded perhaps not more than 6,000 men and fought half a dozen engagements, ranging {rom the opening skirmish at Palo Alto to the batle otf Buena Vista.

With an unmilitary figure, Taylor's short, dumpy body was placed on legs | s0 short that his orderly had to lift one of them over the flanks of “Old Whit- ney” whenever he mounted that war horse. He rarely put on a uniform, and Grant says that he saw him in it only once in the Mexican war, where he fought generally in the same clothes that he wore on his Louisiana farm. He was as plain in his private life and with a wife as unaffected as him- self.

He frankly declared himself unfitted for its duties and unworthy of its honors. “Stop your nonsense and drink your whisky,” he is said to have exclaimed with patience when an ora- torical visitor to his tent ventured to toast him as the next president. Mrs. Taylor agreed with her husband, pre- fering the artless pleasures of their own fireside (including her corncob pipe) to the formalitics of the White House. Like every man who has heard the seductive suggestion ‘of his name for the presidency, Taylor was not long in yielding to it. Revising his own poor opinion of his qualifications in the light of their higher appraisal by others, he came to regard himself as the people’s candidate and he announced that he would run as even if no party should pominate The party preference of the old sel- dier was in doubt, with no other clue to it except his brother's illuminating remark that Zachary like Hemry Clay and Americin-made clothes.
