ing of Jack Johnson and Bombardier
Wells, the English champion heavy
weight Wells has a splendid future
as a boxer, providing he can build up
his mid-section, for he is now a clever
man with the gloves, has a wonderful
reach and is fast on his feet. He needs
more experience and more strength
before tacliling a tough proposition like
Johnson, however. In eighteen months
he will be ready for the champion but
gust now he is not ripe for such a
match and it is spelling the chances
of a real good man and giving the
colored champion the advantage

treat public officials with all the res pect due them-often more than their personal deserts"and have given them the benefit of tho doubt in ev- cry case. But 8 public journal owes duties to its readers: and any attempt to muzzle the freedom of magazines and periodicals, in their nationwide discussion of problems of politics or finance, ought to be repudiated with emphasis. The proposal to set up an odtous censorship in the Post-Office Department at Washington deserves rebuke. However Senators and Con- gressmen may have resented criti- cisms and personal attacks in certain magazines and periodicals. they do not 'wish the press to be censored by political Post-Of1ce Department any more than they themselves like to be tyrannized over by that same Department, in the appointme ents that affect the welfare of their respective localities. We are all of. us perfect ly willing to pay any postal rate that scientific and able business men may think proper. But the Post-Offfce Department, which has exercised pet ty tyranny in a hundred ways, is now proposing to exercise large tyranny Only one thing do we ask of our friends and readers; that is, an insis- tent demand that politics and politi- clans be scourged out of the post office system, and that business men and business methods be brought in.

No Color Tn the Dark.

Tn the dark there is no such thing as color. The reddest dress is just the same color as pure white tablecloth when both are placed in a dark closet. If you would understand this assume the presence of light wave motion in the ether. The color of light depends upon the length of these waves. The light waves producing the colors in the blue end of the spectrum are very short compared with those that pro- duce tEe colors near the red end. The light source that we know as red gives off only waves of a. length to produce that particular color. A body appears red because its surface absorbs all the other waves and reflects the red waves back into the eye. If an attempt is made to light blue body with red light it will fail, because the blue body is capable of reflecting only the short waves producing the blue, and since the red source produces none of these there will be no reflection and the body will appear black. A thing looks black when it is capable of absorbing all the colors at once.-St. Louis Republic

COLLECTION FOR
 INFANTS' HOME
 AT ST. JAMES

Easter collection will be taken at both services in St. James R. c. church, Stratford, Sunday, for the support of the charities of the dio- cese. The principal purpose of the collection that Bishop Milan has in mind is the establishment of an in. fant asylum wherein children from the birth to the age of four years may be cared for, who have lost their parents by death or abandonment or through incapacity of their natural protectors to care for them. The necessity of such an institution is apparent when it is known that there is not a public institution of the kind in Connecticut, catholic or non-catholic. County homes and orphan asylums do not take children under four years The only places where they can be plac. ed are afmshouses in which no provf. sion is made adequate for their care. The services take place at S:30 and lO:So, Rev. Fr. O'Connor will preach sermon at each mass. There will be special music

!C. Q. P. LEADER PREDICTS SENATE WILL FOLLOW HOUSE ACTION
 ON DIRECT VOTE FOR SENATORS

lief that there interposes between the people and the selection of their ser wants a power which renders ineffec- tive representative government It is the duty of all men who have an abid- ing faith in the great fundamental truth upon which our government was founded to correct these evils and the lnterposing agencies which mitigate against the public interest.
 If our Senators were elected as the fathers intended they should be. 1t would not be difficult But we have not the fathers plan at all. It was their plan that the Legislature would come together regardless of party af- flhations look over the field and se- lect the greatest in the commonwealth for their representatives at Washing ton. But under the present system. party politics has wholly eliminated the plan of the fathers. And in ad- dition to party politics, the great in- terests, which are to be affected by national Legislation, interpose.
 It Is our duty, if we really believe in our form of government, to elimin- ate these defects before the defects spread to such an extent that the con- f1dence of the people shall be practic- ally destroyed. It is an unreasonable and indefensible proposition to say. in this age, that men are unfit to select and directly vote for those who shall represent them in the national coun- oil

yustifabIe Protest.

"My wife is one of the unluckiest persons I know" began a Cedar ave nue man, who tells long stories about his household affairs.
 '..She sure is,'' agreed the victim of the conversation ferventiy. But his mild sarcasm was lost.
 -"She was hit by street car recent ly," pursued the narrator, land got a broken arm. That's the fourth time in less than year that something has happened to her. When they brought her to her senses this time I leaned over her sympathetically. Better, my dearr says I. Tt ain't fairv she yells. What ain't fair? asks gently. Why she groans, you're the one that car ries all the accident insurance in this family, and I'm the one that always gets hurt. It ain't fair. ''-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SHALL THE MAGAZINES BE CENSORED BY A POLITICS
 RIDDEN POST OFFICE?

Never has so improper or unfair an attack been made upon the freedom of national Journalism. The Heal question is not one of increased post age rates, but one of purposeful and malignant discrimination. The scheme was carefully held back till the last moment. so that Congress might not fully understand it, and so that the periodicals should have no time to discuss 1t with their readers. Whether wisely or unwisely, the publishers of periodicals bought advertising space in newspapers in order to make the public aware of the imminence and real nature of the trick that was on foot in Washington. Our readers need not be told that this magazine has had no part in that particular method of journalism called muck raking.': We have endeavored to

Improving the Book of Joh.

I remember the relief with which, after long feeling the sway of Frank lin's imperturbable common sense, l came upon a project of his for a new version of the book of Job to replace the old version, the style of which, says Franklin, has become obsolete and hence less agreeable. "I give," he continues, "a few verses which may serve as a sample of the kind of yer sion I would recommend"
 We all recollect the famous verse in our transla ton. 'Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Doth Job fear God for naught:" Franklin makes this, Docs your majesty imagine that Jobs good conduct is the effect of mere per sonal attachment and affection?'
 l well remember how, when I first read that, 1 drew a deep breath of re- lief and said to myself, "After all, there is stretch of humanity beyond Franklin's victorious good sense.''- Matthew Arnolds Culture and An archy."

 Everyone recognizes the force and effect of the criticism which is being made in these days upon representa- tive government There is a general movement upon the part of the people to take more and more the better of legislation in their own hands. This
 arises out of the belief upon the part
 of hundreds and thousands of we'll meaning and thoughtful people that representative government has suffer cd a breakdown; in other words, that
 Representatives do not faithfully and
 efficiently represent the people.
 In my opinion, there Is no one thing
 which has done so much to convince the people of the failure of represen-
 sative government as the manner Of
 selecting Senators. Take the illustra- tions of this last winter. It is a mo- rorfous fact that legislation was act uaIIy suspended or demoradized for at last two months in New York. In Iowa. in Colorado. while the shame , less situation in Illinois has more or less dernoralized the whole country.

Manifestations

1t takes the Spiritualistic To draw the
crowds To their religious services and
the crowds are what all denominations
are after these days, the theatre was
crowded To the doors Sunday after noon
also i'm the evening and as usual Mrs.
Fuller, who is good speaker and says
many excellent things in forceful yet
pleasant way interested her audience.
OF course great many people were
there out of curiosity but ii often hap
ems that curious people get serious at
times, and are led To turn from the
error of their ways if their ways have
been ERRONEOUS.
In her address Mrs. Fuller quoted
largely from the Bible and argues that
those who pass from earth life are still
with us in the spirit, to comfort, and
guide, and bless and that communica-
tion may be held with them under
right conditions. AT the close Of each
address Mrs. Fuller gave number of
manifestations and tests of more or less
interest.
In the afternoon many questions
were handed in for her answer, in the
evening some of which she hesitated
about giving the answer in public.
Among thoes purporting TO come from
the spirit world was one in which she
spoke the name of Audrey little child
whom Fred Dorman recognized as his
grand daughter. The medium also in
another impression spelled out the word

passed away and whose form the med

feeling of suilication as of drowning
and finally the name of Frank came

this city but in a stream near here, fin

he was happy and also that in the
