decided.
 It has been settled that the officers of the Peary Arctic Club shall pass upon Peary's accusations before they are issued in the form of a definite signed statement and the indications are strong that this signed attack will be issued from New York.
 Neither Peary. or General Hubbard were accessible to-day to newspaper men and the probability is that little more will emanate from the Peary camp until he is ready formally to mail" Cook over his own signature with the full approval of the Peary Arctic Club.

ing the highways of life, making dangerous for any man to travel them?
 Tuberculosis is another poverty pro ducer. It can be wiped out, but tn program proposed in our state calls fu money-perhaps state tax-and ther Is saying that there is no fire in tn, citizens blood to illumine the nobility of paying higher taxes. Consecrate your taxes, brethren, and remember that it Is one way of expressing the higher brotherhood.
 Finally, remember that it isn't so much what we do for our brother men as what we are to them that constitutes the highest test of brotherhood; and this challenges every act and quail y of our lives. What counts more thar dollars and deeds IS the sober, industrious, faith ful and pure way in which we live our lives. Paul said, If meat make my brother to offend I will eat no meat while the world standeth?" Is there a nobler expression of brotherhood than that? Can we live this brotherhood as church members, lodge members, friends and neighbors? God help us so to do.

Need of Good Roads

A need emphasized by the people everywhere is good roads. They want them faster than they are building them. Many favor some form of aid by the Federal Government. Some favor the direct building of long highways under the Governments authority to construct post-roads; others want help given to local governments on condition that local governments pay much of the cost and then keep them in order. Public opinion in general favors the National Govern ment going at least as far as to have a body of road-building engineers who shall give advice to any community that asks it-show just what sort of roads to build-and who shall work out large plans for long roads and thus cause ad- JAcent localities to work together.

State Reformatory

The erection of a state reformat0ry by the state of Connecticut, under exist ing conditions, would be true eccuomy. The addition to the states prison would be extravaganza, ill that it would null tiply the possibilities of an unscientific prison of punishment, on the one hand, and on the other. make the reformatory, which must ultimately come, unnec- essarily expensive from the lump sum point of view. In other words, now is the time for Connecticut to solve the problem ill the best way and at the least permanent outlay. It has the approval of the officers of the prison and the ap- prova1 of all those who have seriously inquired into the achievements of other ref0rmatories Allof the facts bearing on the subject are to be found in the report made by the commission, of which Warden Garvin was the chair man. a commission which travelled four teen thousand miles to get its informa- tion first hand.-New York Herald.

Protecting Birds

The protection of bird life proposed in bills now before the Legislature is con cerned solely with game birds-ducks, peeps, yellow-legged suipe and other small feathored things that fit along our shores and marshes. The purpose of these bills is to promote the breeding of those which have their habitat here, and the safe migration to and fro of those which are transient aerial visitors. These measures are reasonable and econ- omical.
