to young men from his point of view

A loose view of honesty, leading

to make something without doing
work for it. Result: Gambling, due

A loose view of truth, leading

their inc1inations. Result: Loss of
integrity, perjury.
A loose view of virtue, leading

A loose view of temptation, lead

thus to weaken the will and lessen
the power of resistance.
(Lyndonville Journal.)
The pride which a man naturally
feels for his birthplace, for his town
his state and his country, is per-
fectly legitimate. Its reflex action
upon the community has the same
effect that self respect has upon the
character of the individual. If
town or village hopes for prosperity
it must believe in itself. If its cit
liens never have good word to say
for it, if even a small part of them
are constantly running it down,
prosperity will pass by on the other
side. OF course no community is
perfect. The millennium has not yet
settled upon any favorite spot as far
as we are able to learn. But if evil
conditions exist, the true citizen
will not run up and down the earth
trying to make people think that
his town is the worst in the sta.e.
He will go to work in earnest to
change those conditions and to make
his own town what it ought to be.
In doing so it may he necessary to
uncover the sore spots but the
known fact that there is an effort to
cleanse them is great deal better
than the suspicion that they exist
and are carefully concealed through
the cowardice of a false pride. Be
proud of your town and make your
town worthy of your pride. 1t will
bring business, wealth and a larger
population. At the same time don't
run down your neighbors. Local
pride degenerates into provincial
ism when it is unwilling to see and
recognize the good things in other
places. You can make your town
mighty good place to live in but
don't forget that there may be
others.

One of the uses to which so-called

that of making summer homes for
wealthy outsiders. Many a farm
that does not offer very encourage
ing prospects to the agriculturist,
nevertheless is picturesquely situat-
ed and combines the right variety of
surface and soil to afford just such
an estate as many a ich family
would delight to build a summer
home upon. There can be just
enough farming" upon such an
estate to provide rural delicacies for

There is a better day dawning for
the United States in regard to the
matter of race riots. Said Judge
Thompson when sentencing the Dam
willie rioters. 'You men may thank
God that you are here on a charge
of attempted murder instead of
murder, and that 7 am not sentenc-
ing you to be hanged instead of to
the penitentiary. For, as sure as
you live, had you gained entrance
to the Jail that night you would
have committed murder not once,
but probably a dozen times" This
kind of talk coupled with this same
kind of action will have a salutary
effect upon those who are ever ready
to rush into violent means to an end.

Walking Delegate Parks misfor-
things that could occur, probably
the farthest from his thought was
the possibility that he would or
could be ruled out of trade unionism
to be called in fact "a scab." Yet
this has actually happened. The
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Ironworks, the ma
tional body to which Parks union
belongs, has taken radical action.
This action is not aimed personally
at Parks but goes farther and puts
his entire union outside the pale of
Unionism. The grounds of the &C
ton are that the housesmiths and
Bridgemen's Union has violated the
constitution of the body by calling
strikes after the organization has
come to an agreement with the en-
ployers' association, by refusing to
arbitrate strikes as the agreement
called for and by involving other
unions in strikes. Also that Parks
as a business agent of the Union
has assumed control over strikes
that probably belonged to the exec
utive board. This action bespeaks
better day for unionism and that
its records may be cleaner than they
have for some time. 1t is only by
this kind of action that Unionism
can get any secure foothold in this
country. There is no doubt but that
the union of the laboring classes is
countenanced by the country if they
do not use the power so gained for
purpose of their own financial gam
and for the purpose of making trade
conditions so intolerable that the
public cannot endure them.

The public requests in the will of

will. w. H. Griffith of Dandy and
George L. Rice of Rutland. They
are as follows: Fifty-one thousand
dollars is placed in the hands of
WILDER H. Griffith and George L.

erecting and maintaining a library
at Dandy, and supplying it with
books and periodicals. Fourteen
thousand dollars of this sum is to be

purchase of books while the income
of the remaining $32, 200 is to be
used in the general maintenance of
the library and for the purpose of
supplying it with additional books
and periodicals. The sum of $4,000
is placed in the hands of said w. H.

The same trustees are also given
Sc, 900 for the purpose of keeping
the same safely invested and using
the income thereof for the improve
ment of Mr.. Griffith's lot in the
cemetery and the lots nearby be-
longing to him. The Congrega-
tional church at Dandy, received the
income of $23, 500, the principal be-
ing held by the same trustees as in
the case of the other legacies. The
income of $500 is to be used each
year for the purchase of Christmas
Tabor and vicinity. Said WILDER H.
Griffith and George L. Rice also are
bequeathed the sum of s., ZOO for the
purpose of using the income in pro-

payment of the foregoing requests
there still remains of the residuary

Probably the fact has always beer
apparent that church organizations
are seldom run on business princi
pies, but the recent Allen embezzle-
ment and the still more recent at
tempt to "whitwash" DR.. ]. D.
Hammond record as manager of the
Methodist Book Concern in Sar
Francisco, have brought the matter
prominently into view. The doctor
stands charged with dishonesty in
business transactions with six speci.
fications. He himself has compli-
Gated matters as he has destroyed
books, the absence of which makes
it impossible for any expert to de-
termine exactly how the business
was run. These occurrences are
deeply unfortunate as they bring
disgrace upon the church as a
whole. The career of these men
who go wrong is nearly always the
same. It is the rich opportunity that
given the honest to become dishonest
because of the lack of even the first
business principles being employed
to safe guard the money involved
that is much at fault. In a private
enterprise there is one or several
men who are defnit1Y concerned
that the affairs are run as they
should be. Unless the business is
run we'll there are sure to be wastes
and diminished profits, a condition of
affairs that cannot be tolerated. In
church matters all take a hand.
A mans reputation, too often, is
taken to be sufficient guarantee of
excellent character, and nothing
else seems to be neeLed to make him
the one person for the place. A
good reputation is an excellent
thing if backed by an equally good
character, but to make good bust
ness man, there are other requisites
to go with a good reputation. TAX
en- together, if ordinary business
methods are pursued the church
would be upon good financial ba-
sis, which is one of the greatest |
needs of the christian church today.
The system of perfect trust which |
holds sway over the minds of many
church people is an ideal way but in
the long run a good deal of business
sense in the end will save that trust
some pretty hard falls. The church
owes it to itself ana sc, it's members
to adopt such methods in the future
that will make stealing and fraud |
practically impossible.

Negotiations are under way for one
of the biggest sawmill schemes yet

deal referred to being a project for
the acquisition of 800 acres of land

movers. At the office of MacGillis &

scheme was under contemplation, but
that options had been secured on
some of the land, but the deal had
not gone through.
