A KINGSTON SCHOOL INQUIRY.
THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS

To TnE EDITOR or THE NEWS:
SIR--I saw In your editorial column last even
ing, a statement that friend OF the Kingston
School had sent you a communication but had
not signed his name. The Kingston College
has friends, who, If permitted COM
munication, are not afraid or unwilling
10 sign their names. great many
things that have appeared in your paper OF
late do not appear 10 bear upon their surface
that friendly opposition that is claimed for
them. II you would be willing TO print n
communication just as ! send IL barring i'm
perfect spelling and punctuation which l
would prefer rectihed), would be glad of the
opportunity of saying something on the other
side. Respectfully. Il. T.. HELME.
Kingston, Il. l., May IL, 1925.
We are amazed at Mr.. HELME's in
quiry for space in the columns OF The
NEWS. We wonder what kind of news
papers he has had dealings with in the
past, that he should want a guarantee
that we would print what he writes,
unaltered and unabridged. We beg to
reply to Mr.. HEIME that this newspaper
never declined to print single line
written to it over responsible
signature, such as his own,
though the signature may have been
kept out of print at the
request of the correspondent. We don't
care whether our correspondents views
agree with our own or not. he shall
always have space and the use of the
same type that we employ ourselves.
We will print anything that is not libel
ous and that the postmaster viii admit
to the mails. AS to Mr.. HELME, we
shall be particularly glad to hear from
him. We recognize him as "a champion
of the Kingston school location whose
opinions are worthy of every respect.
We have always stood ready to
print anything that might be offered
from the other side of this question.
Sometime ago we invited such views,
addressing specifically list of questions
to the president and board of managers
of the Kingston School. But these
gentlemen found it more to their i'm
mediate purpose to avoid public dis
cussion and devote themselves TO lobby
ing the General Assembly, instead.
We shall be glad to give our readers
Mr.. HELME's views, and 10 those who
don't know him we may assure them
that he is bright man, an able pleader
and is never afraid to express himself
and take his chances before q jury Of
his fellow-citizens, which is evidently
more than can be said for the gentlemen
actually in authority at the Kingston
Hill institution.

people has made greater progress IN manu-

Japanese. So great has this been that the
Jnnanese imports from Great Britain were
reduced from nearly sG0,00010 In 1880 to
S27, 900 in 1899. The japanese have given
especial attention to the manufacture of cot
tons, which form the great staple OF English
manufacture for the Chinese trade, and with

Japan may be confident of her ability TO mo-

Water and Wine.

WatcT anu w lhcs
Standing like a silent watcher,
Through the calm, still hours Of night,
Was glass, of pure, cold water,
Fresh, clear, cold. and sparkling bright.
Beside it. proud and scornful.
Stood blood-red glass of wine,
And within its depths were hidden
Every kind Of sin and crime,
Upon o couch where pain and anguish
Had done its worst and fed,
And had left its youthful victim
Sleeping with the silent dead,
On his brow the pure, cold water
Had been placed to Danish pain,
His lips were sealed forever;
Meier to touch red wine again.
And thus speaks the friendly water
To its foe, the glass Of wine:
"l'd have saved him but l could not,
For the power was not mine;
could only check the fever
That was raging, and, you see,
Now he sleeps with countless others
Who had loved you more than me-"
III am known in every country,
am sought in every cline.
have turned the heads of Millions"
Said the pompous, boasting wine;
IL have made the proud and lofty
Bow to me the humble knee.
have brought them from high stations
Down TO rags and misery"
II was then the modest water
Made this very calm reply:
"When God made this world of beauty
For his craatures there was /;
And do my humble duty
Ministering to the wants of all;
There is not n hill or valley
Upon which do not fall"
"But you can not claim the honors
That can," said wine,
"For among the pomp and splendor
You can oft my presence find.
Men Of culture and OF learning
Love TO lnger oft with me,
And they would spurn glass OF water,
But they love my hue to see."
III would not wear your laurels,
They would make me sad and sore;
And what are nations praises
But words and nothing more.
know am only water,
But n blessing to mankind.
And man ne'er had greater
Or stronger foe than wine."

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

SIR-THE News is my evening COM
panion, and l should feel lost without it,
because, in my judgment, none of the
other Providence papers can be compared
with it in anything that goes to make up
firs,-class newspaper, and read no
other. Its position on tho location of
the Kingston School and on the business
relations existing between the city aud
the Union Railroad Company, as well as
on all other important questions, as they
arise, is such as to deserve the approval
of every sensible person, and the ap-
proval is usually not only deserved, but
manifested. j. S. b.

WE haven't any doubt that the Union
Railroad Company can lease that car barn
property alone for big interest on
$4,000. and very likely sell it for a
larger sum to private parties. There is
no question that the city of Providence
ought to own and control the property
and let no outside ventures get in there
As the city wants and needs the prop
erty IL would be simple business propo-
sition for the railroad company 70 hold
1t at its own price. But it is clear
enough that the railroad company is
disposed 10 cater TO the city and 10 let
the property go at fair valuation so
long as the municipality is to be the
purchaser. II is evidently to the inter
est Of the trolley corporation TO keep on
good terms with the municipal corpo-
ration. Their interests are identical.
And any other view Of the proposed
transaction is not ia harmony with
ordinary business sense.

to divide the enemy's forces before they
could unite near his capital. He sur.
prised Blucher's column at Brienne, the
scene Of his sohoolboy life, overthrow
the Russian cavalry, and by brilliant
charge captured the castle where Blu
cher was at dinner. The great Prussian
escaped by sneaking away through a
back door. Napoleon's personal valor
showed at every point, recalling to his
veterans the bridge at Lodi. At the
head of the Old Guard hs charged the
rear of Blucher's line to cut off the re-

fell upon the French at the castle The
battle soon degenerated into an inde-
scribable melee in the walled grounds

Napoleon were cut down, but he de-
Tended himself with bis sword until he
backed against tree which had been
his favorite resort for study when q
schoolboy. At ST. Helena he declared
that in that exciting moment he marked
the tree and thought of the strange des-
tiny which brought him again under
its shelter. Regaining the castle, he
found his cavalry marshal, Desnouettes,
dangerously wounded and body OF
Russian horse charging to retake their
former ground. The gateways and
passes were barricaded with dead SOL
diers. Only single battalion OF French
was at hand, but the fiery energy OF the
emperor made him host in himself.
His soldiers caught the infection and
would not be outdone in sublime dar-
ing. Led by Napoleon, this handful
repulsed the last attack. Blucher re-
treated, and the French slept on the
field as victors.
