1 Councilman Flynn then sprung the
 sensational surprise of the session. He | declared that he was tired of having l the councilmen used as tools or played for fools to guard or advance the in i terestS of individuals He said they | had been worked as tools and fools at recent special meeting when they were inveIgled into raising the salary of Elihu ChesebrO from $500 to $1,2OO to commence Jan. 1st and with the explicit agreement that Mr. Chesebro was to remain as superintendent Of hlg hwayS in Westerly and not accept e similar position in the town of Ston- 1ngton which had been offered him by the highway commissioners of that , town. Now, as a matter of fact CheSe- bro has signed contract to accept pO- sition in town of Stonington to take effect next June. when his term ends with Westerly.
 Councilman Langworthy, chairman of committee on highways, declared his surprise at MT. Flynn's statement and, if it were true, he would not favor paying the increase, but that Chesebro remain until June 1 at the rate of $500 a year.
 Councilman Flynn stated that a man that would play a double game of that k1nG should be permitted to resign forthwith.
 Councilman Langworthy wished it plainly understood that he had no knowledge of any such action on the rart of MT. Chesebro.
 Councilman Flynn said: Then this IS news to you now, for he signed the agreement with representa- lives of the town of Stonington last Saturday,"
 President Clark remarked that the discussion was not germaine to the matter under-consideration, which wa the protest against Charles Goldberg removing the house he purchased from the town in Union street to a site in Main street
 Councilman: Flynn stated that it was consideration of that matter that led up tN reference to the new subject in trCGUced. as in both instances it was the attempt to saddle personal respon- sitiiity of individual upon the town courcil. Mir. Flynn said the petition for removal of the building wa grant ed in good faith and within the coun- clfs rights. If individuals desired to prevent the moving of the building by reason of trespaSs that was a matter that the individual should meet and not saddle it upon the town council. Mir. Flynn moved that the petition of D. otest be received and placed on file, ar 1 the motion prevailed.

Town Solicitor Harry B. Agard, who served with the council committee on revision Of rules for the regulation Of the police department, stated that af ter examination of the police rules c: EPawtucket, East Providence, Norwich New London and other places, that draft of rules adapted to Westerly had been drawn for the consideration of the council. There were no radical changes in the general conduct of the police department, except that the chief is authorized to provide for uninterrupted police protection for the full day. Chief Brown stated that in order to give this continuous service without increasing the force that the regular routine pa trol service could not begin until 1G o'clock at night when the third man would come on duty, as the service Of one man was required in Dixon square and vicinity and the other in the rail- way station section

PUBLICITY AS CURE OF EVIL
Power No Wrong-Doer Can With
stand, No Matter How Rich He May
Be or How Strong His Pull.

Publicity as a Cure of Municipal
and National Evils" was the subject of
a strongly interesting address given
by Thomas Z. Dockrell before the
graduates of the course I'm advertis-
ing of the Twenty-third Street Y. NJ.
c. a. at their sixth annual dinner.
The speaker said that in the earlier
days of our country, when the cities
were small, candidates for Office were
personally known to the most of the
voters. Their fitness for the several
positions was subject upon which al
most anyone was qualified to speak,
because of a knowledge OF their ca
reers.
Today, when the cities contain great
throngs of people, men are nominated
for Office who are absolutely unknown
to nine,tenths of the population. The
only way these candidates can hope
to win support is through the news
papers. by liberal use of advertis-
ing space they are able to present
sound reasons why they should be
elected.
1t is not to be denied that the gen
eral public has never taken SO great
an interest in the administration of
government as at present. This is
due to the earnest and effective work
Of the newspapers, whose editors are
constantly on the lookout for rascality
in office, no matter what party may he
in power. Never have public officials
been made to feel so keenly that they
must be honest and work conscien-
tiously for the common good.
Publicity is power no rascal can
withstand. however rich he may be
or how strong his pull. 1t is search
light that reveals corruption where
ever it may exist. When the public
learns of it's presence It is not slow
to act Decency is stronger than in
decency. The majority of the people
are honest, and believe that those who
administer public affairs shall be gov
erned by the Golden Rule. You can
never cure an i'll until you know that
1t exists.

CHURCH ADVERTISING
Newark Business Man Tells New Jer-
sey Methodists to Employ
Newspaper Space.

At the Roseville IN. j. Methodist
Church Mems club, Theodore S. Eel
finger, a prominent business man of
Newark, declared that the church is
awakening to a new era Of success
through advertising. He said in part:
You are eager to reach the people.
You are anxious that they should know
what the church teaches, and you have
a proposition for them that concerns
not only their lives on earth, but their
existence through all eternity. This
being true, why should you stop at
any legitimate means of reaching
every man, woman and child who can
be reached?
You know that modern advertis-
ing, properly written and handled,
brings success to men engaged In
every other business and profession.
You know, or ought to, that advertis-
ing has been a wonderful factor In
encouraging people to use some OF our
most wonderful and useful present-day
inventions, including the sewing ma
chine, the electric light, the telephone,
the monograph, the player-piano and
the automobile. Without advertising
none of these things would have at
tanned anything like the popularity
they have today and as advertising
has proven itself of great educational
value in material things, so it is bound
to prove itself in educating the people
to accept things for their spiritual bet
terment.
The church could proftably place
it's posters alongside the theatrical
posters on the bulletins. 1t could use
booklets and other literature and send
out letters to very great advantage,
and it could employ. newspaper space
to its decided good.
1T will be well to understand one
fact. that is, that | am an impartial
advocate, being neither directly con-
nected with the church nor with any
newspaper that might profit by the de-
velopment of new line of advertis
ing. am speaking simply from a
knowledge of what advertising has
done, gained from a lifetime of eX-
perience and in the belief that the
church has the greatest advertising
proposition on earth, which. If rightly
handled, is bound to lead to the ulti-
mate good of humanity"

MELTS STEEL AWAY
Marvellous Power of New 0Xy.
aceteIine BIOW-Pipe.
Cuts as Clearly as Saw and Goe'
More Quickly Through Inch Steel
Than Saw Would Through
Wood.

Chicago--Every day proctlca
demonstration is being given OH the
streets of a new device before the
marvellous power of which steos be
comes like paper.
The oxyaceteline blow-pipe is 'he
device. 1t is being used to cut cu
the big steel pillars of the elevated
loop which are being removed &c
make room for through route surface
cars to turn street corners. The proc
ess also is being used In cutting Out
old steel piles which interfere with
the work on the new La Sale street
tunnel.
Thousands of Chicagoans have
watched with amaZement the action OF
the tiny blue flame Of the blow-pipe
upon the massive steel of the elevated
pillars. Before it the steel melts
away, vanishes in gas. 1t cuts as clean
ly as saw, and goes more quickly
through inch-thick steel than saw
would through soft wood. Inquiry
proved that the marvels of the oxy-
aceteline blow-pipe have been known
TO scientists for very few years {;
and commercially they are just becom-
ing known.
So far as is known, the device has
never been used for criminal pur-
poses. But experiments have proved
that the name will cut through the
strongest safe as easily as through the
elevated pillars. Before 1t the most
cunningly devised vault walls become
like paper. Manganese steel, upon
which the hardest drills have no eff
feet, is pierced with ease by the oxy'
aceteline flame.
Just why steel melts BEFORE the
flame scientists do not know. The
flame is produced by combining pure
oxygen with aceteline gas. The acct

Sapphires are more difficult to pro-
