went to the committee room on public

was too late, as | had believed: the
committee had adjourned. Mr.. Aul!

simply stated the facts as they were
impressed npnn me and surely Mr..
Aiken would not expect me to do 9TH
rrwISc even though he "showcd" me
'palnstakin" courtcsy.'
Mr.. Aiken Shoull know, if he
knows plain English when he sees it,
that | never said that "ruund' him
livery Indifferent to the Newbcrrv
public ~building.' On the contrary
! SAID, ''Mr. Aiken said that he i,aI

from Postmaster Purcell. and that If
any allowance was made for his dis
lrirt for public buildings he would
give the preference to Ncwberry."
| also repeated this statement in
The Herald and News in nv notes Of
the trip and added that I was sure
MIR. Aiken would do what he could to
secure tne building for Ncwbcrry.
That could not be twisted into in
difference on his part as to the New
berry public building.
| did state, however, and repeat
here that Mr.. Aiken was Indifferent
as to any delegation appearing before
the committee and 7 am sure Mr.. Ak
on will not deny that he stated dele
cations did not amount TO Il blank AMI
when | explained that I thought We
might submit some facts as TO New
berry and so on he said he had all
those from Mr.. Purcell and that he
was keeping in touch with him every
week. That | considered as indiffcr-
"nec and rather opposition to any de-
legation appearing before committees.
lie made no arrangements for me to
appear before the committee and in
his recital of his "painstaking cnur-
tcSy' where ne says he constantly
suggested that We ought to hurry Il
the capitol to appear before the com
mittce is the first I have heard~of
those suggestions.
If this places Mr.. Aiken in a
"falSc li9ht' he has only himself to
blame.
If Nm. Aiken holds as he says he
does that delegations do harm in ap.
pcaring before committees and he was
in possession Of all the facts nects.
Sary to get his bill through, of course
no one would desire to appear be.
fore the committee. Certainly
would not. and I was not offended
because | did not appear but 7 had tc
make report.

stated the truth, it would have been
dignitiei and no harm could have re-

But when he goes into a recital in
detail Of "painstaking courtcsy' it
shows smallness of callibre and a re-

The pope recently entertained the
members of the Sacred college with
the recital of how a certain gold coin
had been given to him as jubilee gift
by the diocese of Acqui This coin
was discovered in 1898, while excava-
tions were being made for the founda-
tion of a new church at Acqui. Upon
examination it was found to be the
only coin in existence of the period
Of Innocent TX. The diocese of Acqui
was unable to pay the architect who
had drawn the plans for the new
church, so 1t gave him the coin with
the understanding that if he sold II
for more than 1920, the amount OF
his bill, the surplus should be returned
to the diocese. Later the clergy col.
lected the $1,000 bought the coin, and
presented it to the pope. This coin
was the only one lacking to complete
the Vatican collection of coins issued
under all the popes.

with Long island, by way of Black
wells island, is completed. The
bridge will be in three spans, the long
est of which is nearly 1900 feet The
spans of the Firth of Forth cantilever
bridge are each LOO feet long. The
new bridge carries two floors. On the
lower one there will be four tracks for
surface cars and driveway for car
riages. There will be four tracks for
elevated cars on the upper floor, be-
sides two foot-paths. This is the
third bridge across the East river be-
tween Manhattan and Long island, but
it will not be the last. Work is
progressing rapidly on a fourth one,
between the Brooklyn bridge and the
new Williamsburg bridge.

An English visitor here says that
the late panic was caused by the e1-
travagance of American wives, and
that many men are in prison for the
same cause. Certainly, If we want to
know what is really passing at home,
we need only to go for our contempo-
rary domestic history abroad. It may
seldom be accurate, but it is always
interesting and often surprising.

Man and Machine.

Believers in progress are often dis
heartened to find that the many mod
ern inventions to make life better have
not fundamentally changed mankind.
The human being is the same creature
that the very oldest writings portray,
and yet men go on contriving systems
and improved" devices and "ad-
vanced" methods. The last hundred
years have been rife in discoveries and
inventions cure has been found
for every conceivable ilr, and a method
has been found for doing everything
Yet many ills remain unremedied,
many things undone. The trouble Is
we have learned to trust too much to
system, too little to human nature.
The true lesson to be drawn from a
century of system-mongering is not
one Of discouragement, but one of re-
newed confidence in human beings, Of
renewed willingness to throw the bur-
dent not on the machine but on man.
When there is a railroad accident we
read much about block-signals and
automatic switches and other devices
A contributor to the Atlantic Monthly
has shown in series of articles that
1t is the man that counts; it is not
the system, but the employe that
wrecks the train or sends 1t safely
through. One of the hardest lessons
that America has had to learn, re-
marks Youths Companion, is that
the substitution of democracy for
kingship did not eliminate the evils
OF government This does not mean
that democracy is a failure, but that
democracy is good or bad according as
the members of the democracy are
good or bad, wise or foolish. For the
American who realizes this. the idea

terances at the banquet Of the Grady
Go. Medical society last night were
those Of DR.. A. 7. Blesh Of Guthrie,
who is chairman of the legislative
committee Of the state medical asso-
citation and also a member Of the
medical council Of the same. Speak
ing Of laws governing the practice Of
medicine, DR.. Blesh said "Our COM
mittee agreed upon a bill and it met
with the approval Of the council We
met with representatives Of the state
societies Of other schools Of medi-
cine, homeopathic, physio-medic and
osteopathic and all -greed upon the
bill providing for one state board,
with uniform examination in the fun
damental branches. We were given to
understand by the governor and the
legislature that any measure that all
agreed upon would be passed. This
bin would give Us an excellent law,
but now we are confronted with the
opposition Of some members Of the
state medical board. We are going to
keep up the fight for It regardless Of
the opposition; we do not recognize
the authority Of the state board to say
what kind Of law the physicians Of the
the state want"
Preceding the banquet the county
society held its regular meeting at
the offices Of Drs. Penquite and Ship
