lment change the outward form OF
things but the same principles OF life
control us today, that controlled ouI
Iforefathers. The fellow who rocked
the boat and escaped last summer, is
blowing up engines of gasoline
launches this season, or letting them
go dead, and floating helplessly In
the wake of passing steamboats, on
starless nights. Motor boat horrors
this early In the summer have out
stripped all competition in display
heads, and unless improvement ds
noted shortly, steamboat inspectors
will be after that kind of craft In
the interest of confiding humanity.
Probably cheap construction has
as much to do with the frequency Of
such accidents as the ignorance or
carelessness of the operators. 1t is
a dangerous thing to go out in mid
stream in a metal boat with an en-
CINE that is liable to stop running or
to blow up and wreck the craft,
throwing a lot of women and chill
dren into a stream at night bundled
in extra wraps. II is not fair TO take
any chances on the water. Motor
boating is a fascinating pastime and
as safe as any, when proper precau-
tions are taken, and no amount of
casualties will deter people from ven
turing their lives on the water; but
decidedly it is time to find out
the trouble lies and correct
the fault before more lives are sacri-
feed.

After all, Governor John johnson,

After all, Governor John Johnson,
Of Minnesota, never had anything be-
hind him but good boost. Henry
Watterson created interest in him by
clever "press agent" work; but his
chief credentials lie in the fact that
he was born of lowly parentage. like
Lincoln. II wasn't Lincoln's lowly
parentage that made him a great
man. He would have been that, IL
he had been born in a palace.

TRUTH AND FICTION.

We leave IL to the delicate
adjustment OF public opinion
which story bears the most per-
ceptible earmarks OF a fake.
tervent nocturnal prayer meet
ing with barn burning as a side
line, or the thrilling narrative
OF the wonderful achievement
OF a two year old baby, which
fioated serenely for more than
an hour in an IS foot well on
two inch plank, awaiting the
logical moment for acquainting
It's anxious parent Of its perllous
position. In the favorite express
sion OF our faithful country cor
respondent, news IL indeed
plentlful.'-A Contemporary.
Which only goes to show tha
truth is. indeed. sometimes strange
than fiction. The fact remains tina
the story about the two-year-olt
child is true and the night rider tall
is pure fabrication.
The newspaper that waits for tn
delicate adjustment OF public opin
ion" TO determine the accuracy AM
honesty OF its news, has libel sui
coming to 1t.
The Sun Investigated each OF thos
stories before its contemporary hear,
of It, and tipped the fact that tn
night rider story was fake twelv
hours before its contemporary pub
llshed IL. Both stories were rattle
out OF the ordinary and both wer
run down TO their source. The nigh
rider tale emanated from the mos
unreliable source in western Ken
lucky. The child story came from
source we couldn't doubt.

 which make for civic righteousness; which lessen temptation. Anyone who doubts the success of this experiment should have attended one or two of these lectures and caught the inspiring influences at work on both lecturers and audiences. The listeners were most orderly, keenly attentive, and rapt, manifesting by hearty applause their enjoyment. The testimony of the lecturers was almost universal of an equal enjoyment and satisfaction.
 It has been "get-together' attempt which cannot fail to be potent for good to the community. May the time speed fly come when a general recognition of the value of these free lectures to the city will enable some future board of education to incorporate this function among its regular duties.
 Mrs. Troup's Report.
 Mrs. Alexander Troup's report for the publicity committee was a short one. She thanked for the societies eevry one of the newspapers of the city for their active cooperation in the work at every hand. She said: ''The committee on publicity appointed in December sub committee consisting of MT. Emery. Mir. Preston Miss Alice Bacon, and Mrs. Leo Herz to make a study of the charitable societies and the other organizations in New Haven with a view to obtaining knowledge of the extent to which work of this na 2 ture is being duplicted in some sec- tions and neglected in others.
 Officers Elected.
 At this point Colonel osborn stepped forward 10 report for the nomination committee. He moved that in the fu- ture the executive committee be en- larged from thirteen members to fiji teen. This motion was passed with an amendment which provided that tho committee itself be empowered to in crease its own membership at will to any odd number over fifteen.
 The officers as read by Col, Osborn and later elected by the societies were as follows

 Vice presidant--L, E Stoddard.

 Program Committee.
 Rev. Artemas J. Haynes for the pro gram committee said he thought too much emphasis should not be laid upon mass meetings conducted by the soci- cities except where there was a vital matter at stake. Otherwise the empha- sis of the mass meeting Is lost as a public force. He said the attendance at Woolsty hall had been small at all of the meetings held there. He advis- ed no more meetings In Woolsey hall of the mass meeting order until such time as some very vital question comes up.
 Professor Bailey's lecture followed.
