DENOUNCED BY
REV. Mr.. FARREN

Boss Brayton's malehc influence In poll
tics was powerfully denounced by rev
Myrick A. Farren, pastor OF the Edge
wood Congregational church. In his morn
ing sermon yesterday. lie besought his
congregation 10 elect men to the legisla-
ture who would represent them and not
Boss Brayton's machine
The corrupt political machine he
said has nothing TO do with the politi-
cal principles of the party The Repub-
lcan rank and file do not love the ma
chine and they do not want IL; but IL has
gained many friends because or It's long
years OF power
'The fair name OF Rhode Island has
become linked with that or New Jersey,
has become "A synonym for all that Is
politically corrupt and dishonorable This
little state has noble traditions and has
sent out many noble men. IL could hold
its head high IL political corruption could
be dethroned.
Last week read an article from
professor VIE went TO visit prominent
Russian revolutionist In a small interior
Russian town. When the professor sym
pathlzed with the Russian because OF the
lack OF representative government In the
latter's land. the Russian said. Il don't
know as we are much worse off than you
are i'm the United states. We hear that
the people Of Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey are denied representative govern
ment'
"It is something 20 make Rhode Island
blush when the stigma or her political
corruption is borne so far away. We
ministers have been accused OF being
hirellngs and OF not being allowed To
speak against the machine. but / feel
that must today, I'm justice TO God and
TO religion, speak.
Il feel Il my duty 10 ask men TO work
unitedly for the reformation OF the poliu-
cal machine, and I'm November 10 see that
men are elected TO the legislature who
will truly represent our town, who would
never be subservient TO the machine, but
who will be OF the type OF the best, the
noblest and truest men OF Cranston
''Re sure that they will represent us
and not Boss Brayton's corrupt political
machine"

material TO the regular dumping place
three blocks away.
DIR. Peckham. chairman of the park

Happy Homes.

A woman may do her level best
to make happy home for hus-
band and children, but If she is
treated as a slave and only gwen
her board and clothing in payment
for her services as mother, wife,
cook, laundress, nurse girl, chamber
maid and seamstress, is it any
wonder that little or no happiness
exists in the home? If mother
spoils her son by pampering and
waiting on him all the years of his
childhood and boYhood, and max
ing him think man should always
be waited on by the woman of his
household, is 1t strange that he
expects a wife to do the same and
that, in all likelihood, she either
wears out in a few years such
service, or else becomes bitter and
disheartened? There are very many
reasons why a home may not be
found a happy one and the happi-
ness found therin depends fully as
much on the husband as it does on
the wife. We are often told that in
every true and ideal marriage both
husband and wife must learn to
bear and forebear. In every home
where happiness exists there must
be perfect trust, confidence and love
between the husband and wife.
There are two kinds of sunshine in
the world, and both quite necessary
the one which is caused by the
suns shining outdoor, and the
other by its shining in our hearts.
Happy homes abound III the heart
sunshine, and whether it shines
without or not, there is naught but
brightness within doors. 1t is. the
loving deeds, the CHEEKY, helpful
words, and the kindly thoughtful
ness, that each member of the
family shows toward the others
that makes an ideal home, How
many of us do our share in making
such a home that shall be a haven
of rest to all who may come within
its influence.

Chances to Make a Fortune.

1t has always been problem to
the post Office department TO easily
and safely remove sacks of mail
from fast moving trains. The plan
long in use by railway postal en-
ployes is to toss the bag out of the
car door. Sometimes it lands near
the railway station, and at other
times it is hundred yards or more
away. Frequently people have
been injured FROM being stuck by
the flying bags and often the bags
are lost altogether. More than one
hundred inventions in the shape of
arms to remove the bags as the
train runs at high speed, have been
placed before the department dur
ing the past five years, but none
have ever received a thorough lest.
1t is for this reason that a special
commission to examine and test the
apparatus has been appointed by
Postmaster General Cortelyou. The
commission is composed of three
Washington postal officials, and
postmasters from four large cities
will inspect inventions all over the
country. 1t is thought possible that
some of the contrivances may prove
efficient in handling the bags, and
if some lucky inventor hits it right.
a fortune awaits him at the hands
of Uncle Sam.

Argument tor the Farm.

That sober, respectable hired man
on the farm at present wages, saves
more money at the end of the year
than do the young men in towns and
cities. A good farm hand can get
$500 a year in a good home with
good board and washing. We know
of several young men who have
laid up a thousand dollars in five
years time and had better health
besides. HoW. mary Of 80 cIatl /
and young men working in the
shops of the cities can make that
showing?
You can go up to the poor house
and see plenty of people who spent
their younger days having fun.
There is a lot of humbug IN this
silly notion young men have
against working on the farm. There
are hundreds of men throughout
the country today owning good
farms and worth fifteen to twenty
Thousand dollars, who were hired
men on the farm twenty years ago.
How many of the young men who
have gone to town and had fun
can beat it?

Who Is Santa Claus?

1t is frequently asked, who is
Santa CLAUSE" Here is a story
about him that lets light upon his
real character. he was bishop of
Myra and died about the year 326.
Among his Pensioners $50 runs the
story there lived certain noble
man who had three daughters
From being rich he became so poor
that there seemed to him no means
of obtaining food for his daughters.
Over and over again the thought
came to his mind to tell them so,
but shame and sorrow held him
i dumb. Meanwhile the maidens
wept continually, not knowing
what to do and having no bread to
eat, and their father became more
and more desperate. When St.
Nicholas heard of this, he thought
it a shame that such thing should
happen in a Christian land. There
fore one night when the maidens
were asleep and their father alone
sat watching and weeping, he took
handful of gold and tying it up
in a handkel chief repaired to the
nobleman's dwelling. He consider
ed how he might bestow 1t with
out making himself known, and
while he stood irresolute the moon
coming from behind cloud showed
him an open window. So he threw
in the gold, and it fell at the feet OF
the father, who, when he found it,
returned thanks and presented 1t to
his eldest daughter as her wedding
portion. A second time St. Nicholas
collected a similar sum and again
he threw IL in by night. So a we'd
ding portion was provided for the
second daughter. But the curiOsi-
" of the old nobleman was now
excited. He greatly desired to
know who it was that came to his
aid. Therefore he determined 70
watch. When the good saint came
the third time and prepared TO
throw in the third portion, he was
discovered, for the nobleman seized
him by the skirt of his robe an6
flung himself at his feet saying.
20 Nicholas, servant of God, why
seek TO hide thyself?" And he kiss
ed his feet and hands. But st.
Nicholas made him promise that he
would tell no man.

The Wage Question.

a great deal of complaint is be-
ing registered by mine owners all
over the mining district against
miners employed underground. It
is said that the unusual conditions
existing in the labor market Is
responsible for an inferior class of
labor from son4e OF our best paid
miners.
A boss comes along and issues in
structlons to his men and If the
task seems irksome there is open
rebellion and frequently the boss is
told he can get some one else. The
miner knows he can go over to the
next mine and go to work at the
best wages that have been paid.
One old miner who has owned
mines for years end who has been a
miner says that when his men
only received $3.50 day the dirt
Just flew out of the mine and he got
better returns day by day than he
is getting now where the men get
50. 90 to So. SO per day.
All this will be responsible for the
introduction of cheaper labor for if
advanced wages are going to give
US class of inferior miners perhaps
cheaper men at lower wages will
give us the results necessary when
present day equipment and methods
are considered.
