INDIFFERENCE TO PUBLIC AZ
 FAIRS

One of the prime causes of public indifference to many communal affairs is because the individual voter has not been trained so that he is con- scious that public affairs are his af- fairs. The average voter does not realize that he is .'the people,.
 It is the real individual concern of every voter which must create the best government. The Worcester Ga zette states it right when it says: Tt amounts to little to theorize, think out and get adopted new schemes for giving the people greater voice in the ordering of their affairs, unless the people have the spirit which moves them to come forth and take a hand in public affairs.
 Commission form of government. nor direct primaries, nor any other sub stitute, will not meet the crying need of activity in public affairs which is shown in all parts of New England.
 Individual interest and action in government are all that counts. Com Inunities who complain of bad govern ment are more to blame for it than those in authority. The remedy is not in new devices but in an awakened and responsible citizenship

NO ONE LIKES TO PAY TAXES.

The Bulletin takes exception to the declaration of a contemporary that No one likes to pay taxes." It may be true that no citizen likes to pay taxes who does not once in while realize a, direct benefit from them.
 For instance, The Bulletin remem- bers an issue over city street with excellent residences upon it, and from the taxes of ? years enough had not heen spent upon this street to remove the crown of an underlying ledge which had been an impeachment to travel all these years. The citizens had been ordered to put in good walks at their own expense, and this negli- gence of the street was their defense against being put to such large ex- pense.
 Taxpayers get indirect benefits from central development and the care of parks, etc, but as an evidence of in terest and good faith they like to see improvements made near their homes. They want good lights and good streets as well as others.
 The Bulletin does not think that just taxes under fair system are com plained of by reasonable men. and there are many of these in every com munity Men who pay taxes are like men who pay for anything else-they like to feel that they are getting some where near their moneys worth.

THE VETERANS AT THE CAPITAL

The rain of Wednesday did not de- ter the veterans of the civil war from gathering in Hartford, or to any ex- tent interfere with the good time which the people of Hartford had generously provided for them.
 There were 2,2o0 present, and they were splendidly entertained and mem ories of this great occasion were in delibly impressed upon their minds.
 The Courant says: One of the civil war veterans after the exercises were over said: It was splendidly done We did not have time after the parade to meet and express our appreciation. but every man of US feels grateful for all that was done for us. The men who gave their time in making the arrangements, those who contributed to the entertainment and those who, in many cases al great inconvenience to themselves, loaned their automobiles for our use in the parade, have our heartfelt gratitude
 There isn't a civil war veteran in this part of the state who was pres ent that will not endorse this senti- ment.
 It is generally conceded that the Veterans day at Hartford on October 4th, was the day of days in the annals of the Grand Army of the Republic in this commonwealth.

THE olsFRANcHIslNe BALLOT.

The Meriden Journal calls attention 10 the fact that 100 voters were dis franehised there on Monday because of the technical errors made in voting and this is about three times the num- Der thrown out last fall for the same cause
 It would be interesting to know how many votes were thrown out in this state on Monday because of technical errors where the intent of the voter could not possibly be questioned
 No voting machine, except the one who has q rogue manipula ting it, would show such results as this new laG has done.
 The Journal is right vixen it says:
 The ballot jaws are no~ clear as yet, for the blanket ballot is not thor oughly understood even by the mes who made it a law. There are new questions arising about it every tima there is an election.
 Let Us have voting machines, and have them as soon as we can get them, Maybe it is not possible to secure them for the city election, but if it is possible, they should be used.
 This wholesale disfranchising of our citizens is too serious a matter to be passed.
 Unless a machine breaks down here there is very small chance for a voter to lose, for he must certainly express an opinion
 It is a fact that there was no trouble in the cities which used voting ma chimes on Monday. They worked well and honest votes were counted by them.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

However much the opponents of President Taft may try to question the sincerity of his reception by the people, it will not convince the coun try that Kansas and Iowa were being polite instead of really endorsing him.
 Now the Boston Transcript, a non partisan journal, says: "The republi- cans of Massachusetts ought to feel Intensely grateful to the authors of the direct primary law, for it was the revelations brought out by the operations of the first test of this law that showed this party it's splendid condition and gave it confidence for the battle at the polls this fall. It was the enthusiasm of the lesson of this primary convention, with it's large vote, which transferred the state con vention today from picture of dull ness and listlessness which, up to two weeks ago, everybody had drawn into the vivid, cheering body of today. Per haps in succeeding years when the democracy has been successfully van quished and the test is all at the pri maries, our state conventions will sink back into this pictured dulness. But with the fine auspices for victory and the encouragement of the primary The Outs are exceedingly happy"
 The voters of America have not yet resolved to turn the country over to democracy and free trade, of which evils they are too well aware.
 The Bulletin believes The Transcript is right when it says:
 Massachusetts is, the whole country is, coming back gradually in to the republican fold. No one be- lieves that the country is nearly so ill-disposed toward the republican party as it was year ago. This must not be taken by the party man agers to mean that the voters have recanted their attitude toward the re- publican party of 1910, but it must mean that not only is the popular tenn per softening toward the party but the party itself has undergone a stril- ing change. It is not the party of 1910. 1t is decidedly more amend ble to in struction and counsel; it looks with much more favoring eye upon progress sive policies. and it has seen approv ingly the changed attitude of the pres ident toward vital questions. No re- publican platform today in an enlight- ened state can boast of all the legisla- ton of the first part of President Taft's term. The president himself has ceased to boast of the Payne Aldrich tariff law, and the voters new men ton but two good things in it, one being the Philippine tariff clause, and the other the tariff board-the two sections in which the president was most interested-and they will have more confidence in the party and will be more likely to return it in power in the nation in so far as this party continues to be truly progressive and to turn it's face toward the light Re lisnce on the victories-ef the past un- der less progressive policies would be stupid blunder"

Q.-if Moses and EiijaF, were actual ly dead. how could they appear on the Mount of Transfiguration with our Lord Jesus? (Matthew xvii, f-3.)

@0fd oGSNSi kNidtth6~ &btiY To
 Answer.-While Moses and Elijah both passed from the scene of earth's experiences under peculiar and mys- terious circumstances, yet we are as sured that both died. Deuteronomy xXxiv, 5; Hebrews xxi, 13D The Scriptures everywhere represent the dead as being in a condition of un- consciousness, asleep in the tomb, the grave.-"The dead know not any thing for there is no wisdom, nor device. nor knowledge in the grave wh1ther thou goeth," (Ecclesiastes ix, }, 10.) We must carefully examine the text under consideration, for the true meaning, recognizing that all of the expressions of the inspired Scrip lures are in complete harmony. The ninth verse of this same chapter ex- plains the matter. where we note the words of the Master-"Tell the vision to no man" What the Apostles saw Moses and Elijah with the Lord, just visions of beasts, angels, etc, and not the actual things themselves. Moses surely had not been resurrected and made perfect at that tinle for we are informed that our Lord Jesus was the first to rise from the dead and be glorif1ed. Note also the Apostle Paul's words in Hebrews xxi, g. 40 where he sets forth that Mosas and the other ancient worthies of the past have yet to he made perfect by those of the Church class when glorified in the heavenly Kingdom of Christ

 This independent self governing American nation wants no isms''F or underming schemes. ''blackhand'. craft socialism, sedition purblind rev olution, secession, civil war, civic fed eration or strikes, tr teach voters how to think and act. Their common sense will do that. The Golden Rule is for nfulated plainly enough, that working under it, each and all, can naturally. considerately, ask, receive, give, as well as acquire their just dues and profits
 The most intelligent people should unite and insist at all times on nam ing. electing, and vigilantly controlling their chosen executives, in all the walks of life.

Constitutional gov ernmental voluntary cooperation, all impulsive, intelligent individual action should have full play. Fares will grow with wheat in many human fields.
