ribbon tied on their wrists. Some of
the things given special emphasis by
the speakers were school savings

boys and for state wide prohibition.
A saver is very different from a miser.
Children's saving induces the parents

church, the W. C. 7. y. Anti Saloon

for state wide prohibition we shall get

white ribbon even if they never attend
ed a meeting.
Mrs. Florence Blair was very faith
full as musical directress. The choir
was present both evenings and the
solo by Mr.. Colby was much enjoyed.
By the secretary''s report it was noted
that gain Of 80 had been made, dur
ing the year. Mrs. Keyes, treasurer,
gave an excellent report telling OF
ways in which some Of the most pro-
gressive unions raised and spent money.

In the fall of 1904 he was elected
town representative by an oyerwhelm-
ing vote, receiving total of 314 votes
as against 25 votes for all other candi-
dates. At this session of the legisla-
ture Mr.. Bailey served as chairman of
the house revision committee. He was
also a member of the, judiciary CONF

laws of the state and he served in this
capacity until the work was completed.

first time since biennial elections were
established and contrary to an old iron

village and town end Of the town for
the choice of representative, returned
Mr.. Bailey to the General Assembly.
This time out of 4S2 votes cast Mr..
Bailey received $50 votes, 16 more than
he received at the preceding election.

which his townspeople have for his
ability and character.

was made chairman Of the house COM
| mittee Of the new revision committee
and in this capacity in addition to
other duties performed the task of

important conference committees of
the house and senate.
At the close of this session Mr.. Bal
ley was chosen one of the editors to
edit the Public Statutes of 1906. Dur
| ing the two sessions of the general as
sembly of which Mr.. Bailey was a
member, he presided frequently and
was accorded much praise for the ease
and familiarity which he displayed in
! that position.

Has Unitarianism Failed?

A leading Unitarian minister of New
England, Rev. Charles w. Wendte,
writes in the Boston Evening Tran
script of Saturday, May %, an answer
to the pertinent and prevalent asser-
ton that Unitarianism is on the
decline that it's numbers are decreas-
ing and it's influence diminishing. He
furnishes sane. definite and specific
proofs of his church's vitality and
strength, and presents an argument
that will be read with interest by peo-
pie of all sects in New England.
