NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1vzz COMB SAGE TEAIN HAIR TO DARKEN IT Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, and youthful with Sage Tea and Sulphur The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and. faded halr is grand- mother’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are ltving in an age when & youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use ia product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very ular because nobody can discover t has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brukh with it and @raw this through your . hair, taking ., one small strand at a time; by morn- Ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which i so attractive. — ELES MEMORIAL ADDRESS BY REV.

Sevéral churches of Norwich community service Thanksgiv art noon at § oclock at the Central Baptist chureh, which there was worship in acknowledgment of the goodness of Godl. The service opened with the singing of “Come Ye Thankful People, Come,” fol- lowing which Rev. E. C. Dunbar of the First Baptist church gave the invo. cation. Rev. Alexander H. Abbott of the United Congregational church read the annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation issued by Governor Bverett J. Lake. Fol- lowing the reading of the Scriptures by Rev. F. C. Williams of St. Andrew’s Episcopal church, the choir sang, “Praise the Lord Maker.” Prayer was offered by Rev. G. F. Bailey of the First Con- Eregational church. During the offértory the choir r ered “Sing Unto God, Schnecker,” following ‘which the congregation joined in singing “For the Beauty of the Earth.’ The message of the service was de- livered in a masterful manner by Rev. Charles H. Ricketts of Greenevilie Con- gregational church, his topic being, “The Testing of Democracy.” The meet- ing closed with the singing of the hymn, “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies,” and the benediction by Rev. E. E. Jackson of Mt. Calvary Baptist chureh. The Test 6t Démocracy Rev. Mr. Ricketts spoke upon Test of Démocracy as follows: It any platform speaker no later than fitty yvears ago had announced this top- ic to any American audience, it would have been received with blank am: ment—and that is putting it mfidly. The Jook on the faces of his hearers would have given this interpretation: “What, the testing of democracy? Was not that question settled at Yorktown? Was it mot reaffirmed forever at Appomat- tox? Democracy is @ fact settled as completely as The Decalogue or The Sermon on the Mount” That was the spirit displayed in all the great ora- tions of the 19th century. That dem racy was the last word spoken in rela- tion to the perfection of human gov- ernment actually permeatés the great! spesches of Daniel Webster and Bd- ward Bvérett. And it also marked tne early addresses of Beecher, Sumner and Phillips. But one mnotices in their la- ter platform work that these men great- iy modified the glawing adjectives of their earlier efforts. They began to see the dawning of certain tremds which today fill all patriotic and inteligent! citizens with considerable apprehension This may sound somewhat pessimistic; it so it is batter than misguided ap timism. It is simply looking mt faots as they aré in the light of reason and revelation. " In this address I wish, touch upon four things: I-The Riss and Growth of Democracy. It is well to remémber, as a funda. mental ‘fact, that democracy was not sométhing imposed upon us from with-| out, but the development of semething| from within. Neither did it grow like 2 mushroom in @ &ingle night but was 2 long time forming in the hearts and| minds of men before it found the light' of day. To see the beginnings of democracy as we know it in modern times lét me take you back to the lat- ter_part of Elizabeth’s reign in old England, Democracy in the state is closely analogous to independency ia; the church. The one is the logical out- growth of the other. One of the dun- damental principles of Puritanism s this; that it is the inalienable right of The at vastly least, to important évery man who comes into the world to worship God according to the dic- tates of his own conscience, But at that time the law of Bngland sald mo, you myst worship God according to the act of unHormity. The Bstablished church, that Was supréme in_spiritual matters at that day, was dictatorial and jnsistent that the act of uniform- ity should be obeyed to the letter. But the Puritans, being made of heroic stuff, rafused to go back on their con- solences, and consequently they were bitterly persecated. This was the rédson why in the first decade of the seventeenth century a large contingéncy of them migrated to Holland, at that time the only republic in Burope. The Dubch rectived them kinidly, for they remembéered how dear- Iy théy hed bought their freédom w der the gallant Prince of Orange, Thi éntéred with intelligent and hear! sympathy into the civic and religions 1ife of the little Dutch republic. Bu: they weré aliens, and could not amal-! gamate with a people so different in lanfoage, manners; customs and tem- pérathent. Hence they sought a coun- try which they could call thefr owa, and which they could bequeath to their chiidren, réfresenting the outloek which they held toward 1ife in general. Hence we have that Stormy historic passage| agross the Atlantic in the latter part of the year 1620. During this long and périlous journey scrdss the ocean the littlk company had time to think, and as they thought their minds broadened somewhat, which is generally the case, 2nd the Tesult of their thinking was the immor- tal Mayflower pact, which has since be- come recognized as one of the remark- able political documents of the word. To say the least it was the visible start- ing point of democracy in America. The Piigrim fathers teasoned after this fashion: It we concede it to be the in- alienable right of man to select his own form of worehip, why is it not equally| his right to”select that form of civil t as best suits his political ere is surely mo fault to be ound_ with reasoning, As they had now arrived at & land which had mot been pre-emptied by another civilized race, they were penfectly. free ito set in- to moetion their nbw s concerning| .

But religion. education and democracy they never forgot. After the Puritans came, their associated interests wers protected by the British governors 2i- pointed by the home government.

That ¢ it was answered at Yorktown. n of the Constitution of 1787 <was the starting of a new state that was destined to become in the providence of God the mighttest co. monwealth in thé entire h of maRe kind. We cannot deny the fact that The War of The Rebellion tended to d'srupt the institulons of democra struck a fundamental fact en £aid “a nation canfot exist half and half free.” .The permission and practice of slavery were contradictory to the principles of democracy. Be- cause a certain race was of a certain color, because it had had no herofc and riumphant history, and because it was confessedly a backward race was mno ex- cuse for making them chattels, The color of a man's skin, the lowliness of. his Mstoric origin, and his backwa ness in the arts and sciences of civiliza- tion ought not to deprive him of “the Dblessings of life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness” The institution of slaverr was a black stain in our e: Iy national life. But it had rooted M- self so deeply in the foundations of so- clety that its removal nearly overthrew our republic. With a truly heroic sple- % we st about righting ourdélves in the eyes of the world. The surrendor at Appomattox was a reaffirmation of enr principles of democracy. The close of the Civil war ivas mark- seeking (Continued ou Page Nine, Number Four) NATIONAL BANKS FOR TAXES ON REAL ESTATE National banks in Connecticut are not entitled to any exemmption for takes paid on real estate, according to an opinion just handed down by Attorney General Frank E. Healey. His interpretation of the law was given on request of Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett who sought a ruling with respect to the as- sessment of the tax on deposits in sav- ings departmant of national banks. Under Chapter 233 of the Public Acts of 1921, nation banks are entitled t the same exemption as savings bank: {except that the exemption of the amount invested in tax exempt securities shall be only such proportion thereof as the de- posits in the bank. The act also pro- vides, however, that the amount of taxes paid on real estate shall not be exempt- ed under the provislons of this act it the same is claimed as an exemption un- der section 1201 of the statutes. The _situation was caused by oné ibank, the name of which 18 not given in rendering its report. It claimed de- ductlons of $48,777.15, but also claimed a further deduction of $12,777.15. The claim was made by the bank that if the amount of tax paid on real estats is in excess of the amount which the bank wonld be required to pay under one of these tatutes, then the excéss conld be deducted under the provisions of the other statute mentioned. The tax com- mssioner held, however, that if the claim were allowed and a deduction per- mitted by authority of both statutes, the bank would pay no tax whatever, to the state under tieher statute, and there still would be a deductible balance, Double Exemption Sought The attorney general says: “Any interpretation that is entitled_to this double. exemption would in effect be a repeal of part of chapter 233. I can find no such inten- tion of repeal under existing law. . In fact I am unable to see any conflict in the language of Chapter 209 and 233 of 1921. A rule of construction of general ap- plication that our courts have adopted and always followed in construing stat- utes make it my duty to give effect to botk of these statutes if they can be eon- sistently read together. “As the general assembly is presumed to knoW the effect if its legislation, it 13 not reasonable to presume that within the brief period of eleven days it en- actéd legislation that would be conflict- ing in its terms, e “THe réason for the enactment of this particular provision of chapter 240 of the sessfon of 1921 was to prevent these great commercial banking institutions which are run for & profit from having an unfair ad ° by Way of taxa- tion over savings banks by thé erection of buildings that are ly devoted to commercial purposes and are a source of Tevenue to sald bank. “I_cannot.ctnceive hoW the intemtion of the legislaturs could bs only better expressed than in the language used in this statute.
