SHOULD TAKE SIDES
TILSON URGES \ BAPTISTS AS CHURCHMEN
 INTO POLITICS.

At the S4th annual session of the New Haven Baptist Association held in the Grand Avenue Baptist church an address was delivered at last even ing's meeting by Congressman John o. T1lson, who chose as isttopic the ex- hortation to men of the church to take an active part in politics. Congress- man Tilson defended politics as whole and in substance he said:
 Every man should align himself with some party. He should be with one side or the other. Many are dis posed to sheer at the term a polite ian.' If all good men went into poIi- ties they would soon drive out the bad men in politics. The work of the men who give their services in public life is just as important as that of the public ministry. Such public men are entitled to the sympathy and the sup port of the church.
 Now if you don't think that it is necessary for a clean man to be run for office, you just be a candidate and see. When man is nominated for an office. if there is anything in his past life that can be raked up against him 1t will be done. And so it is inn portant that clean men and men above reproach be put up for office. Now don't care if you call me politician TOT don't think good politician is a bad man. Some public officials have been dishonest. will admit. There were bad officials in Bible times and probably there will always be more or less bad politicians. But if a man don't go down to his caucus and do his duty, then he has no right to kick He ought to swallow anyone that is nominated if he doesn't attend the eau GUS. If men would go to their cau- cuses, they would not have to read the names of some unworthy nominees on the ticket
 It is the duty of all church mem bers to be something of a politician and take some part in public affairs. 1 Christian men should consider these things. For the sake of the city, for the sake of the State and for the sake l of humanity in general everybody should be a politician

ACTUAL PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF
 MUCH DISCUSSED SHARES TO
 BAY STATE HOLDING co.
 Boston. Oct. 7.-Actual physical de- livery of the Billiard Boston & Maine shares to the Jurisdiction of the Mas sachusetts controlled Boston Railroad Holding company has been completed. The directors of the Boston Hold ing company now have in their pos- session the 109.94S shares of Boston & Maine formerly owned by the John l.. Billiard company The stock has been purchased at the agreed upon price of $40 per share, payable $125 in Boston Holding company bonds and SIS in Boston Holding company stock.
 In the exchange, therefore, the Bos- ton Holding company will give to the New Haven Billiard interests $1, ,649, POO of it's stock and $13, 743, 800 of it's 4 per cent 50 year bonds.
 The Billiard stock has for year or more been used as collateral for a loan with the National City bank in New York. This loan did not mature until April next. In order to secure the stock for delivery to the Boston Holding company, the New Haven in- terests were obliged to pay slight premium for release of the collateral and discharge of the plan
 The general impression has been that the New Haven would sell at an early date, the SIS, ,743, 500 Boston company bonds given in part payment for the Billiard stock. These bonds will be guaranteed, principal and interest, by the New Haven. As a matter of fact, no present disposi- ton will be made of the bonds and no definite plans exist regarding their sale. Possibly noe reason for this is th fha nf bond market. with New Haven debenture Is swinging around 95, does not offer an attractive basis for the disposal of 50 large a block of bonds.

Big Mail Increase
 ] In New Haven P. 0.

Receipts for the New Haven post office for the month of September were $43.289.29. which. is an increase of $9,- 1S5.04 over those of the corresponding month of last year.. or a gain of 26.- 16-17 per cent. one of the largest gains is attributed by the post office au- thorities entirely to the increase of business. the bulk of the mail matter being commercial correspondence and advertising matter. In the opinion of post office officials but for the voting machines in the last election the mails would have been heavier yet, as these machines had done away with the sending out of pastors by candidates for election.

Los Angeles which is credited with more oiled poads than any other city In this country, has decided to aban- don the experiment of natural soil, oiled roadway as expensive and un- satisfactory. The explanation is that while oil keeps down the dust, the pe- troleum soon evaporates and the re- siduum has no binding power such as is necessary to secure permanent re- suits commensurate with the cost. # 1t may be recalled in this connec- ffon that Highway Commissioner Mae donald of this State prefers the use of n certain preparation of tar, but finds that it is too costly for use on the State roads.
