EDITORIAL INK DR OPS.

In one home where the Editor is sometimes a guest he was interested to note that his hosts never made practice of locking a door in the house, night or day. And they stated that they had never been molested or had articles stolen. Recently they went away for a period of three weeks, and on their return found everything safe and sound. They never spend time worrying about doors being locked, after they have started off for church. or on a jour ney. And what do locks amount to anyway? The average housebreaker can force an entrance into your dwelling, locks or no locks, if he really starts out.

F. A. Barnes, a popular and we'll
 liked representative of Stoddard X
 Gilbert, wholesale grocers, has the
 sympathy of his many local friends
 in the death of his father at Bristol.
 Since 1902 Seth Barnes had carried
 on a real estate business and sue
 cessful pension agency. His judg-
 ment was often sought for in proper
 ty valuations. 4Ae tooK much inter-
 est in public affairs and faithfully
 served the town in a number of ca
 pacities. He was tax collector for a
 time, and a trial justice from 1884
 until the town court was established, and tried nearly all of the cases during that period. He served one term as deputy judge of the town court, from 1904 to 1906. He was a member of the board of assessors from 1906 to 1909, and a registrar of the third voting district from the time it was formed to 1908. He had at times done jury duty in the Su- perior court. MT Barnes was trust ee of the Bristol Savings bank, a po- sition that he held for long time and up to his death, and had also served as member and secretary of the High School committee. Seth Barnes was man whom it was good to know. During all the years of his life in bristol he took an active intelligent interest in it's affairs, the interest of loyal citizen inspired with a desire to do mans part and help in the struggle for betterment and clean living and progress. He was a man of positive convictions, and earnestly maintained what he believed to be the right. But while he unflinchingly upheld his honest convictions, he did so without malice or bitterness, and conceded to others the same right that he asked for him. self. He wss identified with the re- publican party and always worked consistently and faithfully for its success. The same admirable traits that characterized him as man, a des're- to be fair, considerate. courte- ous, kindly, and just, made his work as trial justice distinctive. Above all else he sought to be just, while also exercising mercy and sympathy. Those who knew MT Barnes inti- mately, loved him much. They thor oughly understood and appreciated the earnestness of his character, his ideals, great kindliness and human sympathy, his tenderness toward the weak and suffering, his unfiDching honesty, square dealing, uprightness and integrity. They will miss him much, mourn for him sincerely, and cherish his memory as long as they live.
