Woman has cast out fear. She useo

DopuIar opinion, Of old age, OF loss OF
beauty. of loss Of affection, OF loss or
money. Nothing is more ageing than
fear. nothing more stimulating Inan

Yates a courageous attitude towards
life. She accepts herself as she is, and
does not sit down signing for the IN
aftainable. At the first sign Of ap-
preaching age. she does not, like some
beauties of bygone days, sit in dark
room with lowered blinds. The first
white hair or wrinkle does not throw
her into an agony Of apprehension. She
laughs at them, and even draws atten-
tfon to them. Or. If she has great
warnings for external youthfulness, she

TWO MORE MAYORS
OPPOSED To STATE
TAX ON CITIES

Mayor Rowell of Stamford and
Mayor Thayer of Norwich today in
letters to Mayor Buckingham ex-
pressed themselves as in perfect sym
pathy with the movement to prevent
the state tax being again laid on
cities, and towns. The letter OF
Mayor Thayer follows:
Mayor of Bridgeport, Bridgeport
Conn.
Dear Sir:-I cannot speak for the
city in reference to your favor OF
January 18th relative to state tax but
my personal feeling agrees entirely
with yours as therein expressed.
If you see wherein can be of SER
vice to you do not hesitate to call
upon me.
Yours truly,
CHARLES r. THAYER, Mayor.
Mayor Rowel wrote as follows:
My Dear SIR
Your favor of January 8th receiv-
ed. In reply allow me to say that ]
am heartily in sympathy with your
movement to prevent the General AS
sembly from authorizing a state tax.
Kindly inform me of such steps as
you may contemplate in opposition to
the continuance of this state tax, that
we may place ourselves with you in
any effort that is to be made.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES G. ROWELL,
Mayor of the City of Stamford.

France has had compulsory accident
insurance for millionairess since 1894.
The government is now working on a
bill to give an olds age pension to
every workingman and woman in
France. A bill of the same kind was
adopted by the English parliament.
Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden and
Norway are all now considering vari-
Gus forms Of compulsory accident In
surance and old age pensions
Marcus Hanna, the brightest states
men Of the Republican party Of the
latter days, forced an old age pension
plan into the Republican National
Platform of 1900 But the plank was
quietly dropped by those who succeed
ed him in the leadership Of the party
It is ridiculous to claim that such
a system would encourage Incidence
and make paupers Of the workers. The
average wage Of the American work
man is less than $3.50 year. His
earning ability begins to decline with
the age Of 40. Some railroads set
even lower limit. And, as a rule.
the capacity for earning a. livelihood
ceases at the age Of 60.
How is a man, especially IL he has
a large family-and workingmen us
ual1y serve their country also by
bringing up a family-to save a COM
petence for his old age out OF an ay-
erage wage Of $3.50 per annum?
Moreover, we have to take care of
our old, disabled workmen. anyway,
either through charity or the poor
house, both of which are degrading
and costly-or by means Of an honor
able pension, which is the cheapest
method in the end.
Furthermore the life work efe the
wage Garner in the factory, mine, rail-
road, steamship and so forth, is far
more dangerous that that of a soldier
and is infinitely more useful.
There are more men killed and dis
abled in the mines and factories and
the railroads every year than were
killed and disabled during any year
Of the Civil War. Therefore, even from
the standpoint Of risk, the workman,
the soldier Of the commonwealth, who
works and dies for the country, ougnr
30 be fully as much entitled to PEN
sion as the soldier, Of the common foe
who, in the time Of peace, lives and
idles for his country
