BRISTOL. HE NEW CITY.

The town ara borough of Bristol
which, BY ma Gritty OF it's voting cit
izens. has decided TO add itself to the
other cities of Connecticut the second
Tuesday in October. is a thrifty burg
in Hartford county of about $1,000 in
habitants. and knows what il wants.
Attention has been called to the fact
that less than half the voters took
part in the election which decided this
important matter. the total number of
voters being s.i5s. while the vote stood
1.lo5 for the adoption Of city charter
to 100 against it, This in no way
Queers the decision. since every one
had the opportunity to express his
will; snd-after fashion did. Once,
when the Saviour was told by His
disciples that others were performing
the same miracles He was, He simply
replied; Those who are not against
US are for u.s. and this is the right
interpretation TO put upon this lack of
public interest, which actually repre-
sents the dry rot of New England
towns and cities today.
II Bristol is under good leadership
with well balanced ambition ii will
don its municipal mantle without much
furry and take on the dignity without
a display OF gold braid and glitter
Initiating big city is the most fool
ish and extravagant thing little city
can do. Bristol is sure to gain in
population and to grow in importance.

natural for the child to don papa's hat
and think he is II before he has a
head for II; and the city that does this

LEGISLATIVE ltBERALlrY

The appropriations made by the
Connecticut legisla ture at this session
total a very large amount. The state
budget is over twelve millions. Had
the same care been exercised in spend
ing the states money as is usually ex-
er.ised by the careful, conservative
business man in spending his own
money. it would have been possible to
get along with much less than twelve
millions There are too many wastes
and leaks too much useless eXtrava-
sance Representatives and senators
like to be good fellows and let the
state foot the bills.-Rockville Leader.
There are level headed republicans
in this state who openly declare that
the legislature of 1911 has been prin-
cipally engaged in digging a grave for
the republican party; and its latest
special legislation makes this aver
ment seem more reasonable than it
ever did before. When we consider
it's acts it does seem as if we had
fallen into the hands of the Philis
tines If the moral sentiment of this
Legislature fairly represents the moral
sentiment of the state. we do not need
any new Sunday law, for we haven't
moral stamina enough to support any
kind of a holy day. representative
body of this kind who will favor SELL
ing liquor upon Sunday under any
qualification is totally incapable of or
iginatng and enacting a decent Sun
day law. The Sunday we are having
in Connecticut now is so as-you-
please: and it is good enough for this
state as it is morally represented by
it's general assembly.

OUR HILLS

!. refreshment whenever 1t p1eases.
Wordsworth calls it the bliss Of
solitude but he might better, per.
haps, have named 1t the selace OF
busy hours, for all workers know OF
many times when the hands are oc-
cupied in such ways that the mind
is at liberty to rove; and happy IS
the one who can rise in thought to
something better than the common
task. which often becomes distasteful
hecaa,se so often repeated in the
never varying programme OF so many
lives.
Such a drive and such an outlook
came of late into my experience,
as we were carried from one charm
ing country road to another. How
many beautiful gIimpses of delightful
scenes flashed upon our vision.
Strangers all say this city is proper
~ named the Rose of New Eng
land" recognizing the truth of the
to the everlasting hills round about
US, and they will receive the help
they need to make them appreciate
the fact so readily perceived by those
who are looking for beauty, and eager
to admit it into their minds and
hearts to elevate and refresh their
being.
Sordid souls there are who prefer
a vegetable garden. cultivated for
profit to a plot of roses occupy 1nS
the same amount of space. An old
friend of mine, a great lover of flow
ers, used every available bit of soil
on his premises for the growth of
blooming plants. His more pract1-
cal spouse utilized here and there a
patch for something eatable. She
said she wished he would turn it all
into the growth of food products. Her
delight lay seated in the stomach;
his was the enjoyment of the eye.
Which was the higher nature, do you
think?
What a notable example of the
craving for beauty is furnished by
Celia ThaXter and her garden on her
lonely island home off the New
Hampshire coast. How great her de-
sire for flowers must have been to
sustain through the exertion of bring
ing soil from the adjacent mainland,
little by little till at last. her garden
became an established fact, and a
pleasure to her beyond measure.
So to those who are shrivelling and
narrowing in the drudgery of an I'M
eventful life. the broadening effect of
feet of an outlook upon the hills can
not fail to bring help and relief.
Those who are SO placed that they
can lift UP their eyes to the hills
wherever they look abroad have much
to be thankful for sLet them includa
the vision when they count up their
blessings. and remember those who
are so surrounded that the hills are
shut out from their view.

Norwich bulletin., 1911-09-02

Once on a time Steadraan said Of
our Inland City, that one OF its
greatest beauties was the surround
ing hills, and many of its admirers
have since agreed with him:
There is something uplifting in
the outlook upon the hills. Lift up
thine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh thy help is as true today as
when it was written for the instruc-
ton of an ancient people. Help GER
weary mind and body from gazing
over a broad expanse of scenery sur
rounded by distant hills.
! A hard working laundress once said
to me when | admired the view from
the door of her home on the out
skirts of our city.
Yes it kinder rests me when I'm
tired to come out here and look off,
The poor soul did not realize that
she was proving the truth of a world
wide experience, centuries old.
One of the charms of mountain
climbing is the feeling of victory in
overcoming obstacles; but another
element enters largely into the Ella
ton experienced in gazing over val
leys and lower hills to more distant
peaks standing sentinel over the en-
closed heights and depths. The ex-
pending chest responds 10 the ex-
panse OF scenery lying before one.
The uplift of hills creates a cores
pondng uplift of mind and thought
and the purity of the air purifies the
soul of him, who consciously or other
wise gives himself up to the influence
of such surroundings.
We have no noble mountains in
view; but a drive about the suburbs
of the city will afford many charm
ing glimpses of distant hills sufficient
ly high to illustrate the truth of
what has said, East, west. north or
south, let the direction be, what it
may, some lovely stretch of wooded
hills meets the gaze. forming a
boundary beyond which the eye can
not pass. Sufficiently near TO allow
the woods to stand out prominently
in the picture presented, how we de-
light to look upon them and revel in
the thought of their shady defiles
and dark underground. Farther away
their green outlines turn to deep blue
hazy mass at the horizon, but we
know the hills are there and glory
in the knowledge that they always
stand for strength and permanence
in our days of vacillation and weak
ness.

Norwich bulletin., 1911-09-02

There is a number of us creep
Into the world to eat and sleep,
And know no reason why we're born,
But only to consume the corn,
Devour the cattle, flesh and fish,
And leave behind an empty dish.
And if uor tombstones, when we die,
Be MT taught to fiatter and to lie,
There's nothing better can be said
Than that he's eat up all his bread,
Drank up his drink and gone to bed
If there were enough parasites of
this kind they would bankrupt the
WORLD
In contrast to all this there is some
thing rather fine in the sight of even
a prosaic laborer going home at night
with the marks of tot. upon him.
Whether he has laid bricks in a
building, or tended loom, or stood
behind counter, he has been justify
ing his existence as productive mem
Der OF society: he has been pulling his
own weight.
My friend, can you make a pair of
shoes, or set a pane or glass, or cook
a good dinner? If you can do any
of these things you have something to
be proud of. Can you run a locomo-
tive, or marked some commodity or
draw up a will or teach arithmetic =?
Along the line of any of these accom-
plishments you can make your contri-
button to the needs of men. You are
no lazy passenger; you are pulling
your own weight
1t is good to think of each mans
vocation not simply as his means of
paying his board bill but as his means
of doing good in the world. His job
is the medium through which he
makes his contribution to humanity.
1t used to be thought that every youth
who desired to live a life of service
must enter the ministry. We see now
that every honorable occupation is q
chance for service. All useful work of
hand or brain may be entered upon
in the spirit of conservation.
The praises of labor have often been
sung but if labor is to be truly glori-
Gus. it must have about it just this
touch of idealism, We must see that
somehow it contributes to human we'll

spiritual ways The man who had
been employed at fair wages to strike

/ Surely, the most happy and effective
work in all this world is animated by
the thought we are laborers together
with God" We are partners with the
Eternal. A great city is being erect

all sorts of material to build a city.
The honest contribution of any work r,

proves congress- action but declares
that he believes a matter so serious
should have been submitted to the
Hague tribunal and that a decision on
the Interpretation of the existing
treaty might have been rendered first.
The colonel said: Il heartily ap-
prove the action of congress in the
abrogation of the Russian treaty.
Men must vote, when the situation ac-
tually confronts them and in the actual
event the congressman had only two
alternatives. They had either to
abrogate the treaty or to allow the
government to submit to a continuance
of conditions which would eventually
become intolerable to our national re-
spect and continue a wrong especially
to the American citizens of Jewish
faith.
