Burton s. Rogers died at his home on High street, Rockville, June 9th after Q very short illness of muscular rheumatism. Several years ago he sustained Q shock, from which he never fully rallied. Previous to his shook he occupied good positions in Rockville. Hartford and Norwich, he being a very fine pharmaoist. His father, the late Alden Rogers, was for many years local agent for the Adams Express company between Rockville and Hartford. He is sur. vived by his aged mother, who, before her marriage, was Emily Spelman, daughter of Samuel and Beulah (EIlis) Spelman of West Stafford, who may be remembered by some of the older readers of The Press.

 tunities for athls tics and play, but other chances for the expression of the natural interests of the boys and
 girls, suoh as carpentry and domestic lsoienoe. The park commission is
 anxious to make the place both beauti-
 fuls and useful for the citizenship
 This can bs readily brought about by
 a cooperation of interested citizens
 to complement the funds available.
 Suoh co cooperation should have as its
 first purpose the employment of an
 athletic supervisor as soon as the
 grounds are equipped for outdoor
 sports. It would seem desirable that
 organizations in the town which need
 tho use of room or several rooms for | club rooms. social gatherings, games, and other activities of a similar na-
 tufe should combine forces in a com
 munity enterprise, which would
 utilize the fine building on the prem
 ises for these purposes. The Pro-
 gressive Federation, being town-wide
 in it's representative character, would
 supply a suitable nucleus for such co. operation In explanation of the kind of Recreation carried on at playgrounds
 and recreation centers throughout the
 country a large number of stereopticon slides were thrown upon the screen.
 These illustrated playgrounds for children, larger open athletic fields and evening recreation centers. In- Ecidsntally the speaker told of the wonderfully rapid growth of the movement in favor of public recre. ation. and made 1t evident that the town of Stafford could congratulate itself that 1t was taking part in . great and popular developme ent. Many iOf these communities have discovered
 a new ground of common interest that
 is uniting all their citizens in the prosecution of such endeavor, and that this is the most successful means of at- Itracting new citizens and industries.

Magistrate Bradham had before him
case last Monday which he pre-
emptorily dismissed when the testi-
mony OF the prosecution showed
that the reason for the prosecution
was that the defendants refused to
pay the prosecutor money. There is
great deal Of this kind of thing
done; especially among the negroes.
The criminal machinery is sought
when they want to extort money
from those who perhaps have vio-
lated the law. IL few OF those who
attempt to use the law for such pur-
poses were themselves prosecuted 1t

DEMOCRACY.
By Joseph w Folk.


Dmocracy is a religion; the relg-
ion Of brotherhood among men and
Of equal rights for all. 1t is a relig-
ion that would demand more of the
golden rule and less Of the rule of
gold in government and in our daily
, lives. 1t would have all unite in en-
forcing the laws and in counteracting
any attempt to defy them. 1t would
not array class against Glass; but
would protect the rights Of all by
having each respect the rights Of the
other. 1T would not attack wealth
honestly acquired, but would wage
unending war against the privileges
that produce tainted riches on one
side and undeserved poverty on the
other. 1t would protect property
rights. but would recognize the fact
that property rights are best pro-
, tected by preserving inv'olate the
public rights 1t would not combat
men, but the evil that men do. 1t
would seek remedy for existing
evils, not less government by the peo-
pie, but more government by the
people. 1t would place conscience
above cunning and the public good
above private greed. 1t would not
. offer man an advantage in the
shape Of subsidy, or bounty, or pro-
tective tariff, enabling him to make
money at the expense of his fellow
men. but it would assure him that it
would give no one else such a spe-
cial privilege over him. 1t would
guarantee to all an equal opportunity
to live and labor and enjoy the gains
of honest toll. This Is Democracy as
l understand 1t.

MARVELLOUS TREE CURIOSITY

Nassau, B. LA tree which in its very conformation seems to snow a struggle between two monsters-one of the land against one of the sea is the ceiba or silk cotton tree of Nassau, a splendid example of the peculiar form which trees of this fam fly are inclined to take. In the Mas sau tree the illusion of battle royal has brought thousands of travellers to see the strange tree but more are also interested in it's great length of history. In 1902 a traveller sketched the tree while sojourning here in the Bahamas It was a good sketch and on comparison now shows that the great ceiba tree has not changed, save in podding each year. in all that length of time. Scientists deduce that the tree Is nearly one thousand years old
 It stands just at the back of the British post office in Nassau-its great top outspreading like a huge umbrella with branches soaring as far as 100 feet from the main stem

VXT ASHINGTON.-The high cost of w living is becoming a live topic again Much of the mail that comes to members of congress daily deals with the subject. Constituents of sen ators and representatives are saying that If the legislative body can do any thing to bring prices of the neces- saries of life down, it ought to do it. Among public men there Is very gen eral agreement that the topic will be to the front in the presidential cam paign next year.
 James Wilson, secretary of agricul- ture, has come forward with the sug- gestion that every large municipality ought to take up the cost of living problem. He thinks the problem of reducing the cost of living is one that must be settled by municipalities. Federal legislation can, he declares, at best do but little toward bringing prices down.
 The secretary is trying to persuade the leading citizens of the national capital to get in behind an inquiry here as to why things people have to

Prof. CogshalI had a difficult trip on his preliminary survey and de scribed it as follows: With the data furnished drove east of Bloomington six and one-half miles, nearly to the Brown county line. found the neighborhood of the center to be in an unbroken second growth forest. thick with brush for about two miles. The road up there is perhaps the worst in the state of Indiana. The center itself lies off about a half a mile from the road in a deep gully. It is covered with second growth tim Der from twelve to fifteen feet high. The growth is so thick that it is al his way through it. Before the cen ter is definitely and finally fixed. 1t will be necessary to make a night trip to the place so that observations may be taken from the stars"
 The ravine in which the center is located is typical of Monroe county and Brown county rsvines and anyone who has hunted in a gully in this part of the state knows the difficulties to be overcome. Young trees are so close together that sometimes the hunter can hardly squeeze through.
 The ravine containing the center is noted for game. Rabbits, squirrels and pheasants abound and at the same time rattlesnakes and spreading vipers are not scarce. In the spring the ra- vines in this part of the county are aglow with the bloom of the red bud and the dogwood and birds sing and multiply undisturbed.

The Progress of Our Game Protection

It bears every evidence of care ful study of conditions. Nothing is set down which in any way can be attributed to guesswork. It can be accepted as accurate and authentic. Doctor Palmer is known to scientists as a man of method with an innate love of the subject of which he is making a life study.
 Deer. moose, elk and other big game of pronounced economic value are increasing in numbers. With the awakened interest in their protection and with the constant improvement in laws intended to save useful species there are sound reasons for the belief that future generations of Americans will know the animals that man today knows, and that legitimate sport will be possible in the years to come. The movement for the con- servation of the natural resources of the country takes full heed of the necessity for the preservation of the wild birds and mammals.

The acceIleration of the western movement Is attributed to the growth of the Pacific and Southwestern states.
 Strange as 1t may seem, the center of such a large and important popu- lation comes very near being in Brown county, noted in Indiana as being the states widest and most backward in civilization and development The cen ter is just over the Brown county line, in one of the most inaccessible parts of Monroe county. Trees and underbrush are so thick that the sun seldom shines on the center and then only part of the day. for the "cen- ter" is in a deep raVine. the banks of which are difficult to climb.
 As soon as the announcement was made at Washington, Prot William A.

Army Regulations Are Being Modified

dition could be brought about. As long as young soldiers were sent to jail and herded with criminals for trivial offenses, they believe, the army would continue to be summed by a large class of desirable men who would otherwise be inclined to enter the service.
 One of the first reforms to be in augurated was that of the sentences administered for slight infractions of army law. The most common of these offenses now, as 1t has been for many generations, is desertion, and most of the assertions are unintentional.
 Upon conviction the culprits are sentenced to three to six months in a military prison, not because their offense merited such punishment, but because the ancient regulations had it that way.
 Under the new system the punish ment for mild cases of desertion is merely a deprivation of leave, extra work or the cutting of of special al- lowances. The guardhouse Is only to be used for real offenders and the military prison for hardened crim- inals.
