THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.

Y TIE AMERICAN BIBLE SOtIEI1.
And the tcrcentcnary Of tho King
James version of the English Bible.
The American Bible society recognizes
the Importance Of this event as world
wide. Tho amazing extension OF the
English language throughout the world
has given to the English Bible not only
n universal religious significance but
an imneaslrablc influence upon the
ideals and life ot the peoples Of the
earth,
1t believes that this historic event
should be recognized not only In the
churches of the land but in It's schools,
and universities, and legislatures, and
courts.
1t. therefore, would bring this tercen-
tonary to the attention OF:
|. The ministers of this country
requesting them in their proper ccclcsi-
astlcal organizations. assemblies, con-
ferences. conventions, Synods. etc, and
in their churches and congregations, to
plan for public exercises In which tho
story of the English Bible and its inf,u
oncc upon human life shall be flttingly
set forth. In many communities this
may be best accomplished by united
public services
2. All Sunday school superntcnd-
cnts, advising them of the Importance
of celebrating appropriately In their
schools this tercentenary.
g. All other religious organizations
whose work Is based upon the Bible
L. The presidents Of universities and
colleges, and heads of schools through
out the country, suggesting the pro-
priety OF public exercises Informing the
student body OF the value OF the Eng
fish Bible as n force in the education
and culture of the people
o. The heads OF tho federal govern
ment and the governors OF the different
states, suggesting the appropriateness
of some public recognition of the rela-
ton OF tho English Bible to the foun-
dation and development of our free in
situations.
s. The judiciary and tho bar, re-
questing such cooperation as may be
appropriate IN recognition OF the reln-
ton of the Bible to the laws of tho
land. II

It's nice to be the Only Ono.
Your mother loves YOU so.
When people want to borrow YOU
She hates to have you 20:
But when She goes away herself
Or ladies come to call.
It's lonesome In the garden
And it's lonesome in the hall.
And then YOU want Another Ono
To laugh at Won and say.
Little Only. little Lonely.
Never mind. Let's play"

FRANCE CALLS HALT IN THE EUROPEAN
 BATTLESHIP RACE
fsnecial from United Pressl

Paris. Feb. 9.-With program agreed upon calling for an expenditure of but s2s.0OOOOO for naval armaments France has practically dropped out of the European battleship race' in the opinion today of naval experts.
 This sum is only a small amount compared with what England and oth- CT nations will expend in building up their navies, and smaller than the proposed naval budgets of Italy, Rus sia and Austria. The calling of a halt in the tremendous expenditures for sea-fighters is welcomed throughout France which in recent years had grown thoroughly tired of the mad race for naval supremacy.
 France considers that her present fleet, with the additions that will be made in the next ten years and the overhauling of the boats that they now have. will be sufficient. for all pur- poses of defense. The fact that she is likely to drop still further down the st ale of nations in the total strength of her navy is not at all disquieting as the people generally prefer the proposed economic reformation to the increased naval defense expenditures and a continuation of the struggle for a commanding navy would involve.

NEW TROLLEY LINE
Westchester Northern, Just Incorporated With Capi- tai of $1,000,O 0,O0O, Will Run Ten Miles Into State at Danburv

Albany N. Y, Feb. 9.-The West chester Northern Railroad Company of White Plains has been incorporated with a, capital of s1, 100000 to operate a stean? or electric railroad 45 miles long, of which 35 miles is to be in New York and 10 miles in Connecticut. The main line is to be operated from a connection with the New York, West chester and Boston railway at White Plains to the line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at Danbury. Conn. There will be a branch line 14 miles long. from Pound Ridge, Westchester county, to the New ork, New Haven & Hartford lines in Putnam county. The directors include Robert T. Bird, of Hartford.
 It is stated in railroad circles here that the junction of the Westchester & Northern Railroad Company with the New Haven system in Putnam county, New York, will be at or near Brewster's Station, joining there by a short connection, the Poughkeepsie Bridge and Ontario & Western sys- tems, and giving the New Haven Rail- road Company from New York city, a new through western line by connec- tion with the New York Central at Oneida, about 40. miles from Buffalo.

Examination of returns of the last election of Representatives, shows that @ members of the House-20 Republi- cans and nine Democrats-received pluralities of less than 1000 each, and that 26 members-11 Republicans and 15 Democrats-won by less than 1000 each The next elections come in No vember of this year. and there are many predictions that the next House will be Democratic. So much alarm is felt by the Taft Administration that it has declared against any antag- onism to ''insurgent' members in their districts and allowed it's "trust-bust- ing assistant of the Attorney Gen. eraI to resign and to accept the chair inansf1ip of the Ohio Republican Exc cutive committee, and there are ru- mors that it may even suggest the re- tirement of Speaker Cannon as a means of placating public sentiment.
 Naturally. the Democratic party the House not however with view to the enactment of reform measures for hostile Senate would shelve or reject every such bill of Democratic origin, but in order to restore major ity rule in the House and to check non-reform measures proposed or passed by the Senate Such purposes amply suffice to demand the election Of a. Democratic House.

NO GLAD HAND FOR MICROBES Post Office Department Dis courages Their Gull
 tivation New Orders Issued Relative to Methods of Selling Stamps.

Is Uncle Sam suffering from an at tack of microphobia? An order is being sent to postmasterss from head quarters in Washington, which might at first reading, be taken, to be a com munication from a board of health as it's evident intention is to safe guard the health of those who have fallen into the habit of buying postage stamps in such public places as post offices. Here is what Uncle Sam, in the kindness of his big heart, has sent out
 'Postmasters are directed to instruct post office employees, who sell post age stamps, to hand them out to pllr- ,chasers in such manner that the gummed surface will not come in con- tact with the base of the stamp win doW.''
 That is all there is to the order, but it isn't difficult to read between the lines While the writer has never taken a look at base of a stamp win dow under a microscope, it is safe to say that it is pretty thckly settled, as far as it's microbe population is con- cerned. A stamp window is open to all corners and hands clean dirty and medium are pushed through it with money which is often deserving of the name of filthy lucre". rather than to be called "clean cash Consequently, if the stamps are handed to the pur- chaser with the face on top-the face of the stamps-the gummed part may, if the stamps are not passed out by a high handed act, come in contact with the window base and it's large and varied collection of microbes and your Uncle Samuel is undoubtedly afraid that when the purchaser gets ready to lick the stamps he will unconsciously be making a collection of microbes.
 While it is understood that the order sent to postmasters is not accompan- jed by diagram, it is believed that the above explanation is the correct interpretation of it's meaning. The department, in sending it out, appar- ~ently, therefore, was not prompted by any fear that the stamps might be- come stuck on the stamp window and that the infatuation would cause a loss to the government. but rather the action to prevent the mixing of microbes with the gum of the stamps is a step in the onward movement for pure food.

Iudgnlent for Plaintiff.

In the Common Pleas Court at Dan- bury, Friday, Judge Scott handed down a decision in the Pondville school district case for the plaintiff, B. Franklin Pearce to recover $29.8S for work and materials for repairs on the Pondville district school house. In his decision Judge Scott said that a school committeeman had the undoubted right to make necessary repairs upon school building in the absence of de- finite instructions from the voters of the district, but he reduced the bill presented which was for over one hum dred dollars, in accordance with esti- mates of the value of the work given by other carpenters.

According to Thomas w. Lawson. the savings banks of New York and Massachusetts, with S2,000, 100000 of the peoples deposits. belonging to 5,0O00oo depositors. are notifying their deposit ors that their annual interest returns must be cut to 31a per cent. The present rate is per cent. So far as we have observed, the Connecticut banks are not making this reduction. Mir Lawson says:
 Fifteen years ago the people received per cent. annually upon their de- posits, roughly, s160, 100000 year. Fifteen years ago this $160,O00OOO bought $160, 000, 600 worth of the peoples necessities and luxuries. Now this S1eG GOO, 900 buys only sS0,0OO,000 worth of these same necessities and luxrlries. Think of iti-this source of the peo- ple's income cut squarely in two, With absolutely no offset of any sort; wages have increased some as cost of living increased, but in loss of interest re- turn to the people there has been ab- solutely no offset.
