sions,' which she visited at Bos- ton during the past three weeks. The undertaking as she saw it, has been marvellous. There have been thousands of people actively en- gagged in it, ten thousand stewards, a chorus of five hundred voices, a pageant in which are one thousand people, etc. The cost of running 1t has been $150,0OO. It has been man. aged by the Christian people of Bos- ton and vicinity to demonstrate to those who are not familiar with mis- sions what the gospel has done for the world. The arrangements have been in the hands of Dr. Garner, the Englishman who got up similar one in London. He has been in this country one year at work upon the details. That it was a success ana the money will be returned is shown by the fact that there were in one ty five cents each. Among those de- monstrating the customs of different countries have been many natives be- sides numerous Americans trained for their parts. Many returned mis- sionaries have been present to tell about their particular fields of activity in foreign lands.

PAYING TWICE TO
 SOAK" POSTERITY

That ancient nonsense about "mak. ing posterity pay'' crops up again 1T the discussion of a plan to build q magnificent court house for New Ha- ven county. First there must be a definition of what is meant by "mak- ing posterity pay" It is a way of saying that the living may avoid pay ment. No such thing can happen So long as bonds draw interest at four per cent. or over.
 Says contemporary, discussing the proposed structure:
 The generation which builds it, and which under the present arrangement will pay for it, will use it possibly a quarter of a century. Other genera cost, will use it for one, two-possi- bly three centuries. The fathers pay it all: the children pay nothing. Ii is not difficult to discern that the children get off easy.
 Sad but true. Nothing can be done about it, however unless economic and financial methods radically change. The users of the first 25 years must pay the bills. True they can inflict expense upon their chil- dren, and their children's children if they are foolish enough to do it, or malicious enough, but they cannot save themselves a single cent.
 A simple demonstration for those who advocate long term bonds to make posterity pay"
 The New Haven court house will cost, say one million dollars. It is paid for by a bond issue at per cent The bonds are to be extinguish- ed in 25 years. They are serial bonds and are reduced by one twenty-fifth part of the whole annually.
 Cost to the living during 25 years s1,520.0 900.
 This is $1,0oo,o00 for principal and s52O,O00 for interest.
 But the living pay, do they not?
 The same bonds, but issued for 30 years, at the same rate, and serially reduced by one fiftieth of the whole sum.
 Principal remains million as be- fore. Interest becomes $1,020,000 Total charge to the living" for 25 years and to "posterity" for 25 years. s2,02O,000
 Same bonds at 10 years. Principal, s1,oo0,Ooo. Interest. s220,ooo. Total $1,220,000
 The only Justification for bonds running as long as 25 years is dire poverty. There is neither financial nor economic Justification for bonds running more than 25 years.
 This. financial advice is given to New Haven county free of charge.

END OF WAR NEAR
 WORKERS WILL NOT
 SHOOT EACH OTHER

Taft's arbitration plan is one of the is a wholesome sign. Many things are conspiring to end war, as the in- vention of weapons of increasing deadliness. the tremendous cost of the interrelations of commerce. But all of these reasons together are not so potent as one much less common ly taken into considera ton.
 War cannot be carried on except many common men are willing to shoulder muskets and shoot at each other All over the world the masses are being taught that they should not kill each other. Devotion to country is not less, but appreciation of the brotherhood of men is more. Work men of France are beginning to ask why they should shoot down their brethren in Germany and the Ger man proletariat asks the same ques- ton as to men on the other side Of the frontier.
 The doctrine that men should not kill each other at the behest of royal families, or to promote trade, is now consciously accepted and promot- ed by great trade guilds, and labor organizations throughout the world It begins to look as if war will soon end for lack of privates.

Four Offer Blood
Employes of s. N. E. I Give Aid to General
 Manager Sykes

New Haven. May 20-It is said that four employees of the Southern New England Telephone Company let phy- sicians transfer their blood to Henry H. Sykes, late general manager of the Telephone company, who died a cou- pie of days ago. in an effort to save his life.
 The physicians who were in charge of the making of the blood serum were Dr. Charles J. Bartlett, Dr. Frank Meara of New York, brother-in-law of MT. Sykes, and Dr. Tileston. the at tending physician through MT. Sykes illness. The transfusions were made by taking the blood from the arms of the volunteers and later sending it in- to an opening in MT. Sykes arm.
 MT. Sykes seemed to rally after the operation but from Monday night m he gradually sank. Every effort was used by the attending physicians to save his life, but he died late yester- day morning.

 To Major Boudren's
 Statement In Farmer

To the Editor of the Bridgeport Farmer. Dear Sir:
 I have read with interest, the com munication of Major Thomas Boud- ren, in "The Farmer of May 18th.
 I have no doubt but that Dr. Mc- Cormack would be pleased to answer the Majors questions.
 If the facts generally urged by the Major are as accurate as the one in which he says, in fact, that is what he is hired for" I should not be inclined to dispute any of the evi- dence the Major might submit, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
 Dr. Mccormack is not hired to give this address by anybody.
 I trust the Major will avail him. self of the opportunity of attending,

PARLIAMENTARY SALARIES.

The proposition of Lloyd George to pay a salary to members of parlia- ment is a reform that has been long sought by the labor organizations and reform associations of England. So long as a poor man has to give his services uncompensated as a member of parliament he was estopped from being a member. and this turned the Commons largely into a club for men of wealth. In the case of John Burns, the famous labor leader, certain labor organizations have for years paid him a salary sufficient to enable him to live. Otherwise England must have been deprived of his valuable ser vices.

WHAT THE INCOME TAX
 AMENDMENT MEANS.

That is sad news, but expected, that the majority of the committees will report adversely upon the ratf- fication of the income tax amend ment by the General Assembly. The resolution for ratification should properly have been heard by the committee on Federal relations alone, but there was danger of a favorable report, and the Judiciary committee was called in. The division is appar- ently along partisan lines. The Dem ocrats on the committees have ap- parently voted for ratification and the Republicans against, with one exception.
 The issue is simple. The Federal government has to be supported. The people of the several states pay the bills through indirect taxation.
 The share of the people of Con- necticut is about s15.o00,000 a year
 This contribution is made as a part of the purchase price of many commodities, upon which the govern ment has paced either tariff tax. or an internal revenue tax, which is charged into the cost of the goods.
 The doctrine that those who enjoy most of the protection of government should pay most to support govern ment is completely ignored. Great wealth contributes nothing. A widow with family of five or six children may contribute as much to the tax as a corporation worth millions.
 The income tax is a proposition to shift part of the burden from the toilers to wealth.
 As the tax is applied in progressive countries all incomes beIow a cer- tain amount are untaxed. All in- comes above a certain amount are taxed. The larger the income, the greater the tax.
 Connecticut must help support the

PRIZE CONTEST, Hats Made of Straw for Prizes Offered By Mrs. Ida Parmly and Awarded Last Evening.

A week ago while at the annual luncheon of the Mosaic club, Mrs Ida Parmly gave each member present a bunch of straw braid with which to make a hat to be entered in a prize competition. The prizes, of which there were three, were to be awarded the following Friday evening at hen home at the corner of Fairfield and Iranistan avenues. Consequently last evening the guests, supplemented by a few friends beside, were richly en- tertained at this hospitable home and the products of the amateur milliners exhibited. The hats were put in turn upon living models and the commit tee took note of the points. The prizes were awarded in order to Mrs. Frederic Hindsley, Mrs. F. L. Smith and Mrs. George A. Jamieson. They were pronounced stunning by Mrs. Greisinger, the only real milliner among them. though fortunately foA the others, she did not have a chance to compete.
 The prizes were very pretty. The first one was decorated urn, the next a handsome bottle of smelling salts, the third a handkerchief case.
 Ice cream, different kinds of cake and bon bons and nuts were served in the handsome dining room.

The house con- tains seventeen rooms and the ones on the second floor have the novelty of being built around a well, after the Spanish style of architecture.

It is after Mrs. Par2nly's $ own design and she is nothing if not original. It was very much admired and the company enjoyed the evening thoroughly.

 Those who vote against the income tax amendment want each family of five in Connecticut to contribute from its slender means an average of SIS a year to support the nation. They are against decreasing the burden.

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.

No branch of municipal endeavor gives more happiness or pays larger dividends than the public playground, especially when it is fully equipped with swings and tteeters" and the other mechanism that children enjoy. A visit to the little park at the end of Yellow Mill bridge will convince the most skeptical that the invest ment is good one. Hundreds of children will be found playing there every pleasant afternoon.
