That is something +hich cannot be lost sight of. What hap- pens when there is a failure of such ser- vicc has been impressively demonstrated. Public service is the reason for granting the franchises, eities and towns have de- \sloped in accord with the amount of Fcn ervice to be obtained and the pub- le has grown to depend upon it to a greater or léss extent. The aim there- fare must be to see that it is main- tained with such reasonable regulatioh and legislation as conditions demand. When (he commission in its report urges the relinquishment of the federa] trusteeship of the Connecticut company, the chief responsibility of the trustees being to sell the stock of the company and turn the proceeds over to the New Haven road, it is evident that it does| not consider the trustees are necessary and, in view of the recommendation, that it does consider the trusteeship are among the handicaps now The operation of the lines, which are wholly within this state, rests on other shoulders and the commission believes federal control $hould be ended and the property returned to the owners. b preferablé that the relief to which the People are entitied should come by other means than regulation. - Government ownership' of the mines is not desirable but if the coal operators are not willing to clean house they shouid realize that regulation stares them in the face. —_— AIB MAIL SERVICE. Much stress has been laid upon the speeding up of the delivery of mail by the post| genéral through - the es- tablishment of the air service, but from What Chairman Madden of the appropri- atlons sub cemmittee told the house of representatives a huge sim is being used for the carrying of mail in such a man- nep while the delivery is as a matter of fact slower, and it has been demonm- strated that it was less safe. Inasmuth ds' the airplane is faster than a train it has been imagined that much time was saved by the sending of mail through thé air but there are de- lays connected with such service which makes -it slower than the railroads. The Introduction of the air mail carriers can therefore hardiy be endorsed either on the ground of efficiency or economy, |1t certainly doesn’t warrant the loss of life and property that has accompanied it to say nothing of the loss sustained on the mail matter being transported. When letters can be tramsported by tzain and be delivered 24 hours earlier than when they are carried by airplane it s certainly a better business policy to pay.seven cents a ton for the quicker delivery than it'is to pay $§ a ton for the other, while there appears to be much greater assurance that mafl win reach its destination by rafl than there Is by air. It is impossible to disregard tne fact that the air mail service has been in- troduced in all probability more for the purpose of developing the airplane than bucause of what can be accompanied by this means of transportation. The office department would therefore ap- pear to be ‘engaged In experimentation Work .that is somewhat costly and - em- ploying funds for the giving of servies Which not only fails to equal that which Wwas being provided but falls far_ behind.

To the unscien- tific the real distincti fall weather and dowhright wintér is a distinction between black pepper and good old fashioned cayenne. But it doesn’t require scientific knowledge to learn that a sudden change from mild- ness to severity in the weather brings in full winter conditions. That is, a pond free of ice in the morning is never safe to skate on in the late afternoon, how- over keen the sting in the air may be. Boys, please noteé that fact! It +is also well to remember that a pond of still water is safe for skating long before a Tiver is. The sheltered arts of a river are safer than the more exposed. Of course every boy knows that it is always risky to skate over rapids, however cold it is. Don’t take any chances of losing your lives, as there will probably be enough of smooth thick ice before winter ends. “ This is the season of the year for making the .proverbial good resolutions. Man has been doing this ever since Adam tripped up in The Garden of Eden and Doubtless Adam made good resolutions at the beginning of each year that he wouldn't eat apples—or whatever fruit it was that had been forbidden. But when he saw how Eve lickéd her chops over a Greening, he sailed in, and was kicked out of Eden for being so easily trapped by a woman. Ever since this little serap in the life of our first parents, men and women with great regularity have been making good resolutions in the neighbor- hood” of January 1, and with equal con- sistency have been breaking them some time during the year. And thus it will continue until apples or forbidden fruit we love so well shall be no more. But let us go right on just the. same, for, in spite of apples, more good resolutions are kept than we imagine, It is perfectly natural that the ome chief topic of conversation and newspa- ber publication is the crime wave that ‘has attacked our American life. It has one feature to which I have not seen any attention called, and that is the differ- cnce in the names of the culprits (as far as they have been apprehended) and their victims.. The latter are names we have always been familiar with: An- drews, Harris, Baldwin, Jones, while the culprits’ names are mostly unpronounce- able, pointing strongly to continental Bu- répe. That raises the matter of making our immigration laws mpre stringent, Why should the riff raff of Europe be dumped here? We are sending food by the shipload to feed Europe's starving, because her man power is not sufficient to keop her people allve. Why weaken her producing capacity still more by immi- gration? If Europe ever needed men she Needs them now, and any man, in face of existing conditions, who will desert his country now is a coward. . When we cross the threshold of a new year sthere are two directions in which our thoughts run—or at least they ought to.. We ought to look backward and de- voutly thank God for past blessings, and forward and thank Him equally for pres- ent opportunities. Around the opportu- tity hangs the blessing. If we scrutinize NORWICH BULLETIN, SATUR _between chilly|10L” began Caroline, “but this is 3 ter- ate a good-sized Rhode Island Greening. escaped entirely the notice of later his- the past closely we shall find that th blessing has largely come from making a'| g00d use of the opportunity. If in 1920 We missed a great opportunity of servmgl God and humanity and consequently did not receive the uplift of a great bless- ing we are apt to grumble because God has hidden his hand, and that something has been denled us to which we have an inalienable claim. When we realize that there is a close logic between our endea- vors and our blessings, we shall give up Tepining our past Saharas; and go to work and carve out for ourselves a fu- ture Canaan “flowing with milk and hon- ey The other day when I had a particu- larly hard task before me I actually took down my Bible—which was not so dusty as some of you may imagine—and, turn- ing to the Psalms, read The One Hundred Third. I say, fellows, if you want a real intellectual stimulant before tackling a real man's job, don't go to your Black- stone and Kent or to Shakespeare or Browning, but try the One Hundred Third Psalm. Now you will find the Psalms in the Bible—very near the mid- | dle—and you will come in contact with the,grandest literature of ail ages. Their strength lies. in the direct appeal to the human heart. They create the impres- sion that one is under invincible leader- ship: “who redeemeth thy life from de- struction ; who crowneth thee with loving | kindness and tender mercies”” I wish school boards would insist.' that this splendid Psalm be committed to memory by every public school scholar and recit- ed every day. Such words bring in no dispu.ed points of theology, but would be & garment of light to our schools, and most schools need it. In this age very much is said sbout efficiency ; sp much in fact that it makes one feel that more stress is laid on the means of achieving results, than on get- ting results themselves. After all isn't the important thing to get there? If one only succeeds in an undertaking the method employed (if above boar) is of secondary importance. In bridge-build- ing it makes no difference if the scaf- folding is pine, oak, or mahogany, for it is knocked to pleces when the keystone is laid. In many business offices you see the motto: * It Now.” That is to say that conception and and execution dught to be synanomous terms. It may be questioned whether rushing to do a thing the moment the idea pops into one’s mind is always wise. When I see that sign, “Do It Now,” I.feel like asking, dc what now? Of course it is intended as a action without due deliberation? t is all right if what we do has been care- fully considered. There is ome thing we must do if we expect to meet with even a measure of success in life, and that is we must over- come. Not once, nor twice, but overcom- ing must become one of the constant hab- its of our lives. We can net lie back on our oars and regard ourselves saf8 be- cause one dragon has been slain. Their name is “legion”" and they assail us in all forms and shapes and all the time. The mere fact that we overcame some fmp in 1920 will not make us immune from attack in 1921. Victory in 1920 EBives us the advantage in 1921 but it will not fight the battle; it puts us into the position of a victor if we fight this year With the same faith and valor as we did last year. Ralph Waldo Emerson says: “We acquire strength from the forces we. overcome.” If one cannibal eats another he ‘gets bodily strength. If a fox over- comes a rabbit and feeds upon him he Figuratively this is true of the forces we overcome, as we profit by their mistakes, learn what to avoid. There is one. question that every man asks himself at the beginning of the year: What can I, .or what ought I to earn this year? If a man is wise he will ask hi 1f two questions: “What ought I to eafn, and out of it how much ought I reasonably to save—barring emergen- cles, of course? ciple of economy, and economy is a coin With both the obverse and reverse sides. One of those sides represents the earn- ing capacity, and the other the thrifty. It makes no difference how great a man's eamning capacity is, if he has not the habit of thrift, he will alway: be a poor man. There is a vast difference between stinginess and thrift. It is not thrift to pinch body_and soul, but it is thrift to make a wiSe investment of all surplus carnings. If the habit of thrift has been acquired, no more atfention need be paid to it, and all the energy earning. and from them This brings in the prin- centered, on If a man is 2 millionaire he can say all the fool things he wants to without impairing his reputation. by wagons.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN . HISTORY A FORGOTTEN BATTLE OF 1812. There was a battle of considerable im- portance in determining the respective position of the British and American navies on Lake Ontario, in the second war with England, which seems to have torians. A history of the United States during the administration of Jefferson and Madison, written by Henry Adams, and which is in nine volumes, has not one word in regard to the Big Sandy battle, in which the percentage of the British loss was as great as in almost any contest in which the troops of that empirg were engaged, being about 16 per cent. of the men on either side killed, and about 35 per cent. killed and wounded. In this battle every British soldier and sailor mot killed was captured. At noon on May 29, 1814, a line of rowboats en- tered the mouth of the Big Sandy creek from the lake. ere were 13 of them, and they contained munitions and arma- ment for two vessels, the Mohawk and the Jones, which were still in the stocks at Sackett’s harbor, awaiting their neces- sary furnishings before heing added to the little American fleet on the lake, The boats had left Oswego the day be- fore and including in their cargoes 21 long 32-poundérs, 10 24-pounders, three 42-pounders, as well as shot, shell and rigging. A company of the First United States rifles, under command of Captain Appling, was scattered among the various The Indians refused to be posted, but spent their time in foraging the neighbor- hood for provisions, on the strength of the plea that they were going to fight When the British found the south shore imparticable they returned to the north ehore and formed in line of battle, ad- vancing boldly in the direction of Appling’s ambush, until within 10 rods of the con- cealed riflemien, when a full volley was poured into the faces of the British, every shot apparently taking effect. Ninetcen of the attacking pa..; fell dead, including Mr. Hoare. whose heart was torn out by 11 bullets. Fil:¢ men were wounded. The order was given to “charge bayonets,” and the Americans rushed upon the paralyzed an instant the enemy pped _their armg and held up their hands in token of sur- render. Then the Igdians came up and were with difficulty restrained from mur- deripg the disarmed Britons. By the time more American troops ar- rived the battle was over. Of the Amer- ican force but one Indian was killed and one rifieman wounded. The victory was as complete and satisfactory ad any ever gained by any troops in resisting an at- tack, and was an efficient factor in secur- ing Lake Ontario against British contrel.

Be- fore daylight the next morning it was discovered that the outside boats were really the enemy’s and were making for the mouth of the treek. They captured three gunboats, three cutters and a gig. Messengers were immediately despatched to Ellis Village for militia support and preparations were made to give the Brit- ish the warmest kiud of reception. Fences were/ torn down and brush cut away to fagilitate movements of cavalry and artillery, and the work of landing the marine stores was entered upon with The enemy brought their vessels into the month of the creek and speedily assisted in rousing the country by opening upon the Americans with six eight-pound- ers across the marsh. Not the slightest damage was done by this cannonade, and the British com- mander soon ordered its cessation and worked his boats further up the south branch of the creek.
