WAS CHRIST A SOCIALIST?

A Socialist thinks that the land is the
Lords,
That the earth was not made for the
few,
That We should do unto others the
way that We would
That others should do unto you.
If We would not toll for another ones
gain
Do not force him to do so for you,
Though the churches deny it, we know
by his Word,
That Christ was a Socialist too.
A Socialist thinks that you cannot
love God
And injure your dear brother man.
The worst way to hurt is to do it by
law
For he cannot get even again.
If you love your neighbor the same as
yourself
No injustice to him will you do.
The doctrine that all are the children
of God,
Shows that Christ was Soci alist too.
A Socialist thinks that the one is
thief
Who gives not all that is earned,
And Christ those thieves when the
temple within
Their tables of change overturned.
When the Socialists today strive the
lowly to aid,
Prosecutions they have to go through
He laid down his life for his love of
mankind,
So Christ was Socialist, too.
A Socialist breaches the glad news to
the poor,
They seek to upllft the oppressed
The same as Christ went about doing |
good,
Relieving the weak and distressed;
And he said he that loves not the one
that he hath seen,
And loves him as have loved you,
Cannot love the Father he never hath
seen,
So Christ was Socialist, too.

A FATAL SLOGAN

The Hartford Courant has discov- cred a new subterfuge for opposing any of the contemplated plans for re- since it wanted to save Ebenezer J. Hill even if it had to induce. the Re- publican party to break it's campaign pledges in order to do so. Better by far would it be- in the mind of the Courant not to rediStrict at all than to leave Brother Ebenezer to the tender mercies of the citizens of the county in which he has always lived. This is not a very strong rec yet it is the best vote of confidence that his friend, the Courant, can give him.
 The latest plea of our Hartford con- temporary against the proposed re- districting plans is that either of them might, if the next national elections is close enough to be thrown into the next Congress, defeat President Taft Just think of how awful Mabel it would be if Congressman Hill, left to win or lose in Fairfield county alone, should be defeated. and his defeat should cost the G.. O. P. that one vote necessary to elect Taft in a contest so close as to be left to Congress to decideI
 This is the sense or better. nonsense of the Courant attitude on this impor- tant matter. Let US save Hill to save Taft.

 Victory Over The

Latest Returns Show Pine Tree State Remains Prohibition by Slim Margin of 297 Votes
Special from United Fress.>

Especial from United Fress.1
 Portland, Me, Sept. 13-Despite frantic calls, today, from anti-prohi- bitionists for an official recount and strenuous assertions on the part of many that irregularities in counting have favored the temperance workers in this greatest political fight in the history of the Pine Tree State, the more conservative of those who fought to repeal the constitutional prohibitory statute, today, acknoWa edged their de- feat.
 And that defeat, by officially revis- ed returns made, today, by mail from virtually every point in Maine by elec- tion officials of those places, set the slim margin by which Maine remains a prohibition state at 297 out of a to- tai vote of 120.725. This same pro- hitbitory statute was put on Maine's constitution, in 1884, by a majority of 45, ,9SS
 Today's final figures giving prohibit tion such a S light victory were a sur prse even to the prohibitionists, after yesterdays supposedly corrected off cial figures giving the vets a vic tory by anywhere from 800 to 150O majority.

Is Meriden Boy Our
 Youngest Photographer?

Little town in Clay County, Illinois is boasting of having the youngest telegraph operator in the service. The friends of William J. Welsh the l5- year old night operator of the Meri- den branch of the Western Union CO.
 read the item in a New York paper and it now develops that Meriden can- not only honestly boast of having the youngest irp the country, but prOba ply the only one to be promoted to a n1gh office from messenger boy in four months.
 year ago, Welsh was attending the west Grammar school. During the hours after school he became acquaint- ed with some friends whose headquar- ters were at the telegraph office. Ma turally he was attracted to the place,
 and soon became friends with Man. ager John Gaffy. The tick-tick of the little instrument interested him and before long he was tinkering with the keys.
 Manager Gaffey. seeing the boys in- terest in telegraphy, induced him to become 8 messenger boy, and during the slack moments instructed him in the rudiments of the profession. The boy showed such ability that it wasn't long before he had mastered the art of sending and receiving messages. After four months of messenger ser vice. the company introduced their night letter system. This meant ex- tra work in the evening" and there was no one to take charge of it. The
 manager took a chance and put the boy operator in complete charge of the night work.
 The real test of his ability came at the time of the recent wreck on the
 Valley near Middletown. As there are
 no telegraph offices open in Middle
 town in the evening, all the informa- l.
 tion had to be sent to Meriden by
 telephone and from there to New
 York and other big places This was
 the first real big news that has hap
 pened since he has been operator, and
 he handled it like a veteran.
 Since the night letter system has
 been in operation the telegraph work
 has had a big boom between the hours
 of 9 D. m. and 2 a. m. but the "wiz-
 ard of the keys as his friends call
 him. takes care of it all and amply
 fufills the nickname. He is the son
 of MT. and Mrs. William R. Welsh,
