A MEMORIAL OF PEACE.

It is proposed to erect on Staten Island a great bronze column sur mounted with the figure of an Indian to memoriaIize the aborigines. The combined height of the column and the colossal figure of the Indian sur mounting 1t. is to be $50 feet. The top of the figure will be in the neigh borhood of 960 feet above sea level, said to be the highest point on the Atlantic coast between Maine and Mexico. It is proposed that the base of the figure shall contain a library for Indian records and museum for Indian relics.
 A New England exchange very ap- propriately remarks that ''it is too late in the day for the conquerors of the Indians to erect what is to be known as a peace memorial. be it ever so grand and beautiful in their recog- milton. It might be possible to im- mortalize in bronze a sentiment of humility and repentance for the wrongs that have been done to the aboriginal race of America. but this is not the purpose for which the Staten Island column is to be reared"
 It makes no difference concerning the real purpose of the column, it can never be separated from the thoughts and convictions which history will surely excite or the criticisms which will surely spring from them.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
IN THE SAME OLD WAY

moneyed class that bustles and jostles and is so busy over-reaching itself that it has no fine leisure whatever; and we all know our neighbors and friends as workers of one sort or an- other. professional or industrial, to whom any real leisure is unknown. For leisure. as I understand it, is not idle ness, nor mere fashionable frivolity, nor, least of all, ennui or boredom Rather. 1t is that proportion of time that we may Iegitimately give to the genial side of life:-to enjoying our friends, our books and music, to long walks across country, New Years calls. a game of bridge. the dance until midnight, or quiet evening in our lounging chair by the fireslde. with no pressure upon us of last years bills to meet them. In a word, leisure IS that delightful portion of our time which we have earned the right to en- joy in our own chosen way.
 Now and again some one of finer fibre than the rest draws out of the etherial essence that spirit of leisure which is able-in the very midst or the days occupations-to loaf and invite the soul" To such an one 1t is given to know that the treaureS or the unl- verse are his. From the most of us, however, if we are not on our guard. these twin thieves, Hurry and Worry, will snatch away much or what makes up the richness of life What glII or God can be more precious than our friends ?-many friends, true friends, friends that we know to be our own, for once and for all, friends of a life time here, and God grant, in the long CT life hereafter. Yet is it not true that in the daily hurry and drive, the daily worry and weariness, oftentimes we fail to grasp a hand half-timldly stretched out to us, or draw back our own because no other friendly hand seems ready to meet it2 Oh, the pity of iti Yet pity 'tis.

MONEY SHARKS INCREASING.

Men Of greed have always taken a6rantage of the ignorance and neces- sites Of the working classes and rob bed them on every occasion when they have leaned them money The usurer IS abroad today as he has been for more than five centuries, and it Is becoming 90 common for men of ready money to increase tho misery of the poor by charging them excessive in- teres1 for the loan of small sums of money that organized effort is being made in some of the large cities to make an end of the practice. Speak ing Of the movement in Philadelphia to protect the unfortunate from the rzpacity oS these money sharks. The Times of that city says:
 That the clan should flourish in Philadelphia is not wonderful. Here are owners of small homes, here are thousands of men and women who oc- casionaIlv lind that Illness or other -nis9ortunes consume their small sav- inEs. In despair, they turn to the loan sharks for the money that will tide them over the crisis and sign cutrhroat judgment notes for sums far in excess Of the legal rate of in terest-
 Tt is well that the law of 1858 pro- hsoits the collection of this usurious interest II is also well that the po- lice bureau Of Philadelphia has under taken the protection of the poor against the rapacity of the sharks
 ThIs practice is extending to the smaller cities, and men who crowd the poor in their distress and increase their misery are making illegal con Tracts and enforcing them against the people who do not know that rates of interest above 6 per cent are not collectfbis-

THE rAILoRs TO REMAkE CHINA

The news now indicates that the Chinamen are to be modernized soon that they are contemplating breaking away from their present style of hair dressing and costumes and adopt the styles recognized as 20th century styles by the Ang1o-Saxon nations; hence it looks as if the statement that China is to be Christianized within the next five years is truer than we has been through an American barber shop and been thoroughly clothed by our tailorS and shod by our shoemak- CTS seems to be more than half Chris tianized by the process It is said that the prince regent has decided that the queue shall be prohibited and that the nation shall break away from it's antique notions of dress. and present a sartoria1 appearance worthy of the age and its conceptions of progress
 There is still some doubt whether the Chinamen will submit to such dic- tation; but if they should it would be the way out of servitude-a step up which would leave the Japs somewhat in the rear.
 The idea of China being tailored out of its traditional rut and put on the highway to 20th century style and cul- ture Is not so much of a dream as it at first appears to be. There is no doubt Wu Ting-fang would favor such a change.

HE suILpINe IN 1909.

New England figured well in the building operations of 1909, during which fifty million dollars worth of new -niHs were projected and probably ss many mora millions laid out in the construction of public buildings, bus mess blocks and houses In New Eng land Boston leads. of course, with Hartford spending four and a half mill lions. New Bedford six and a half millions. Pittsheld two millions; with Lynn making the biggest record in % years. Elsewhere the figures loom up New York city reports construc- ton amounting to S2510O .000. exceed ing by more raan ss.00o.000 the high mark Set in 1905. Newark also re- ports record breaker, with s14,o00. soe Trorrh of building. Syracuse's building progress was by far the greatest in the city's history St. Louis. with sss. COG. .oCo in building inn prcvsue1ts and Kansas City, with SIs o05 0oo invested in the same way. both report substantial gains over the year previous.

 Atlanta Georgia, reports five and n hsIr millions of new construction Tor the year and in the 15s leading cities of the country there is no doubt that the new construction amounted to bifisens
 The little million and a half expend- ed here in Norwich WAS only a drop in the bucket but it sings loud for a city or zs poo inhabitants.
 IL would not be surprising If the building operations of 1910 were even greater-exceeding the total cost of the Panama canal many times. It should be noted that two years build ing in New York exceeds that.

THE BALLOON POLE HUNTERS.

With the opening of 1910, twelve years after M. Andree and his two companions bravely set sail for the North pole from Spitzbergen, news comes from British America that the Esl1imos about Reindeer lake, 300 miles north of the highest mission station. have the ropes of the balloon, and the relics. and the story has such an appearance of authenticity upon it's face that the Danish government has already offered inducements to compe- tent explorers to follow UT the clues o'b- tained and if possible secure whatever writings may have been left by these brave navigators of the air. The Es- kimOs tell about the falling of a big white house from the heavens with three men in it, but seemed wary about disclosing all they knew about the incident. There is no doubt that their silence could be broken by tact and the customary inducements. Should the story prove to be true, it is barely possible that the thrilling experiences of these air navigators may disclose something decidedly new about the ice-1ocked north. M. An dree's diary might not prove that he went to the North pole, but it must record the most adventurous and phe- nomenaI air flight ever made by man, and contain some data of importance to the scientific world, such as the length of the flight and the effect the intense cold had upon the balloon.
 It is not probable that another bal loon will ever start for the North pole. but starting from Etah or some point farther north it is possible that one of these aeroplanes might start out and at the rate of 75 to 100 miles an hour circunnavigate the North pole in a day. The last weeks laborious sledging schedule as shown by Peary and Cook. would only be an hours work for the airships which are now making records and breaking rec ords of nights in New England.

YEARS OF THE MOST HIGH.

The ancient Hebrews had phrase which they used to characterize peri ods of time marked by signal and un- usual events. When looking back over a stretch of months, they could point to some remarkable overthrow of their enemies, as when the Egyptians were drowned in the midst of the sea, or to some other triumph over their foes. or to the conquest of new territory, or to relief from captivity or exile, or to the coming of a mighty deliverer, they referred to the times when such things as these had taken place as years of the most high" For their sakes the Almighty had laid bare His holy arm and wrought wonders in ther behalf
 Living at a. time when we do not need and do not expect miraculous and spectacular disclosures of Gods inter est in and purpose for mankind, we prefer to put emphasis on the reve- lations of himself through the ordinary processes and movements of the world. The order and beauty of this fair universe. the normal human reIa- tionship, the sacrifice of parents in be- half of their children the innocent prattle of an artless child, the count less, everyday facilities of men and women in every status of society," these are to us as sacred and signifi- cant as any rending Of the heavens could possibly be or of any audible voice from the heavens.
