The very interesting and important plan to have any of the one hundred and eighty-nine savings banks of the State of Massachusetts undertake in- dustrial insurance under certain salu- tary restrictions seems to be prosper ing, A canvass of the House is said to show majority in favor of the bill. It has passed the committee on insur ance with only two dissenting votes and 1t had previously been approved by the recess insurance committee and recommended by Governor Guild. It now goes before the ways and means committee, and if 1t is approved it will come up very shortly before the two branches of the legislature. The Mas sachusetts Savings Insurance league, which Is striving to create public sen. timent for the bill, now has a member ship of SO,O00 and so energetic has been it's campaign of publicity that the bill has attracted the attention of the en- tire country. Among the members of the league are such men as the Rt. Rev. William Lawrence, Bishop of Massachusetts; President Eliot, of Harvard university; Thomas B. Fitz- patrick, president of the Union Institu- ton for Savings; Robert Treat Paine, Robert Luce, Judge Francis c, Lowell, Hon. Joseph Walker Professor F. w. Tausslg, of the department of econo- mics, Harvard university; Hon. Fred erick Dodge, of the United States courts, Boston; William L. Winslow, trustee of the Five Cent Savings bank, Fall River. James J. Storrow, chair man of the Boston school board, and very many more. Numerous labor or ganizations have approved the plan.
 If the State of Massachusetts tries this experiment. it's working will be watched with great interest all over the country. It can probably be made a success in steady and sound old Massachusetts if 1t can be in any State.

If the most resourceful weath- CT paragrapher in New Eng. land shows some sign of wearing in these latter strange days of May furn- aces and Spring sore throats, it is not strange that the shirt market breaks. But the drop may interest the investor in wearing apparel. We received our spring SUD- ply of ready-to- wear shirts three months late. Then Spring lost herself. Then our regular $2. 50 and $2.oo came down most uncere. moniously to $1,5o.

The longest distance the human voice has been transmitted is believed to be from Montreal to Winnipeg, 1,4SO miles, over a special copper wire along the line of the Canadian Pacific railroad. This wire, which has intermediate con nections only at North Bay and Fort William, was installed by the railroad company for it's telegraphfone system, by means of which two messages, one by telephone and the other by tele- graph, can be transmitted simultane- ously over the wire. A number of tests have been made of the new outfit, it being found quite easy to converse from end to end of the line, while at the same moment operators at an in- termediate station (Fort William) were sending a telegraphic message to Mon- treal.

The philosopher of the Holden (Kan- sas) Progress makes a shrewd remark when he says that it requires a com paratively sharp knock from the out side to break the shell of an egg, but that the tiny chick on the inside suc- ceeds with little difficulty in breaking out. The same is true of town. The knocks from the outside amount to but little. It is the residents of the place with their little hammers that do the dirt The moral is. Boost, don't knock"

Writing from Christiania, Norway, Michael Alger, the United States vice. consul, says that forest planting has attracted much attention in. recent years. There were B,8OOO0O trees plant ed and 74S pounds of seed sown In 1905. School children planted 1,4SE4OO trees and sowed 176 pounds of seed. Forest planting Is gradually being introduced as subject in the public schools. Es- pecially on the west coast the school children have taken much interest in the matter. In single parish 100000 trees have been planted by the pupils in the last three or four years.

one for the Attorney.

A certain well known Judge was
once violently attacked by young and
very impudent counsel. To the sur
prise Of every one, the Judge heard
him right through, unconscious Of
what Was said by those present, and
made no reply
After the adjournment for the day,
and when all were assembled at the
hotel where the Judge and many of the
court folk had their refreshments,
some one asked the Judge why ne did
not rebuke the impertinent fellow.
5 Permit me, said the judge. loud
enough to attract the attention Of the
whole company. among whom was the
attorney in question. Permit me to
tell you a little story. MY father, when
he lived In the country, had q dog--a
mere puppy, I may say. Well. this
puppy would go out every moonlight
night and bark at the moon for hours
together"

of heart and Of hand, and not of the
lips, the homage Of deeds and not OF
words only. We, too, in our turn, must
prove our truth by our endeavor. We
must show ourselves worthy sons OF
the men Of the mighty days by the
way in which we meet the problems
of our own time. We carry our heads
high because our fathers did Wellsin
the years that tried mems souls; and
we must in our turn so bear ourselves
that the children who come after us
may feel that we too have done our
duty.
We can not afford to forget the
maxim upon which Washington insist
ed, that the surest way to avert war,
is to be prepared to meet it. Never:
theless the duties that most concern
us Of this generation are not military.
but social and Industrial. Each COM
munity must always dread the evils
which spring up as attendant upon the
very qualities which give it success.
We of this mighty western Republic
have TO grappde with the dangers that
spring from popular self-government
tried on a scale incomparably vaster5
than ever before in the history Of
mankind, and from an Astounding ma
terial prosperity greater also than any
thing which the world has hitherto
seen.
As regards the first set Of dangers,
IT behooves us to remember that men

can never escape 0eing governed.
Either they must govern themselves
or they must submit to being govern
ed by others. If from lawlessness or
fickleness, from folly or self-indul-
gence, they refuse to govern them
selves, then most assuredIy in the
end they will have to be governed
from the outside. They can prevent
the need OF government from without
only by showing that they possesssthe
power of government from within. A
sovereign can not make excuses for,
his failures; a sovereign must accept
the responsibility for the exercise Of
the power that inheres in him; and
where, as is true in our Republic, the
people are sovereign. then the people
must show a sober understanding and
a sane and steadfast purpose If they
are to preserve that orderly liberty
upon which as. a foundation every re-
public must rest.
In Industrial matters our enormous
prosperity has brought with It certain
grave evils. It is our duty to try to
cut out these evils without at the
same time destroying our well-being
itself. This is an era Of combination
alike in the world Of capital and in the
world of labor. Each kind of combi-
nation can do good, and yet each,
however powerful, must be opposed
when it does Ill. AZ the moment the
greatest problem before us is how to
exercise such control over the BUSH
ness use of vast wealth, individual, but
especially corporate, as will insure
its not being used against the interest
of the public, while yet permitting
such ample legitimate profits as Will
encourage Individual initiative. 1t is
our business to put stop to abuses
and to prevent their recurrence, with
out showing spirit Of mere vindfct-
iveness for what has been done In the
past. In John Morley's brilliant
sketch of Burke he lays special stress
upon the fact that Burke more than
almost any other thinker or politician
oflhis time realized the profound les,
son that in politics we are concerned
not with barren rights but, with iduties;
not with abstract truth, but with prac-

MEAT CHOPPER WHO
KNEW FRANK CHANCE

This winter Frank Chance met an old
friend. He lives at Ocean Park, near Los
Angeles, in winter, and one day he han
pened to drop in at the butcher shon IN
order something. The meat chopper hsd
in some way heard that his customer was
a member of the Chicago club but had
not caught his name.
This was the conversation:
You play with the Cubs?"
Yes"
Ever meet Frank CHANGER"
Chance was surprised, but he hid his
grin and replied that he had enjoyed that
honor.
Il used to pitch TO him when he was
a kid" remarked the butcher, carving
away at a chunk of meat. 'sie is one of
my best friends. We were raised to-
gether-' And so on for about ten min
utes. Finally he delivered the meat to
the waiting customer. Chance reached
into his pocket for money, then suddenly
a scheme for revenge dawned on him
Charge this, will you please he re-
marked.
Certainly, certainly" said the butcher.
What name?'
Chance drew out a card and tossed il
across, and walked out with the meat,
while the butcher stared unhappily at
the bit of pasteboard on which was
