NARROWLY AVOIDED
 A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
pr. E. p. Douglass Lost Control of His Auto at Trading Cove 5rdge-Rail ing Torn Down and One Wheel Went Over.

Dr. F. P. Douglass of Groton had a very close call from a serious acci- dent on Wednesday afternoon at Trad ing Cove He was coming to this city in his auto, and at the foot of Trad ing Cove hill lost control of the ma- chine and it crashed through the rail- ing of the bridge, but was prevented from going over. although one wheel was off the bridge when the machine was brought to a standstill. The rail- ing was badly damaged.
 There is a drop there of about forty feet into a stony ravine and had the doctor gone over there in his machine there would probably have been seri- ous results. He did not jump, how ever, from his machine, and considers that he had a narrow escape. The au- to was taken under the shed of the Thames Valley Woolen company's plant at Trading Cove. The accident occurred about five o'clock.

LABOR SUNDAY
To Be Observed in Churches on May
 Ninth.


 It is not generally known that near ly all the leading Protestant denomi- nations are making an earnest organ ized effort to correct the impression, somewhat prevalent that the Christian church is opposed to laboring people. The Presbyterians have been especial ly prominent in this work by oFganiz- a Department of Church and Labor in Their Board of Home Missions" Their chief champion Is Rev. Charles Sickle, D. D., who himself became breadwinner at the age of II. He and other honest, fair minded men are do- ing much to demonstrate that in the last analysis the Christian churches are doing much for the highest welfare of wage workers. They have desig- mated May g as Labor Sunday, to be observed by the churches in honor of the millions of toilers who daily serve mankind in the humber places of life. The Methodist Federation for Social Service has been inaugurated and is doing valiantly in this needy field. Probably Labor Sunday, this coming May g, will not be widely observed, but it promises to become one of the great days toward which millions of the best people in America will eagerly look for help in solving some of our most per picking problems. It is suggested that ministers preach upon the underlying principles of the whole labor question and that all Christians seek to inform themselves upon these principles.

WHBRE PEARY ERRS.


Ii is odd that Lieutenant Peary's
friends did not see the folly of his
attempt 10 prove that DR.. Cook never
reached the north pole. In the first
place, regardless of the merits of the
controversy, public sympathy has
sided with DR.. Cook on account of
his sportsmanlike behavior, making
il the more easy for him to convince
the populace OF the truth of his ex-
plot. But there is the further factor
of the utter impossibility of proving
a negative proposition, and really,
what is popularity known as sports
manllke conduct" is merely an igno-
rant adherence to the logical course.
Be DR.. Cook ever so great a fraud.
Lieutenant Peary could not prove
he did not reach the pole. Indeed,
Lieutenant Peary could not prove
that the modest editorial writer of
The Evening Sun did not discover the
pole, although We admit he never
was north of the Great Lakes. 1t is
not required of Lieutenant Peary to
prove that DR.. Cook never reached
the pole, and his friends should so
have advised him. 1t is up to DR..
Cook to prove that he did. We hope
he will. We have no reason to be-
lieve he did not; but until he does
We shall suspend judgment, and not
permit ourselves to be trapped into a
guess on the main question through
an expression of opinion as TO the
personal conduct Of either gentleman
since his return.

AN fNsPIRING PREsENcE.

What power lies ia Silent inspira-

energies can be compelled by the en-
couragemeht Of sympathizing pres

and found II can express. Many a
hero has gone TO his glorious grave
or to victory for the memory OF a
woman's smile or tears; many a
brave voyager has found renewed

thought OF a last farewell and the
hope of welcome. There may be
nothing In telepathy; there is every
thing in the stimulation Of present,
Astounding. unnagging sympathy to
one in extremity.

Alben Barley would do in his de-

When too hard pressed about some
