SOCIOLOGICAL MONO81ANIA
(New Bedford standard.)

Respecting the proposition of-a Bos- ton physician that a "marriage-aid" bureau' be established at washington as part of our governmental npachin- cry, observation is made that "an ea- gerness for governmental control IS one of the most characteristic feat ures of American sociological mono mania." All calm observers Of the drifts of discussion and controversy note the tendency. It is a manifesto fion of the reaction from the individ- ualistic conception, and 1t is a re- suit of the widely-preached~ doctrine that the benefit of society must al- ways be the chief aim of society. In- divtdualisn1 in some instances did run to wild and dangerous extremes. but there is as much danger in the new as ever there was in the old. Where as,'' says an observant writer.

 countries of the Old World, .reformers are seeking relief in revolution Or in anarchy we in our freedom seem

Their Copy Too Good

Congress decided that the
ad writer's whose business it
was to induce enlistments in
the navy, had gotten into the
habit of writing too allurlng
copy, and that as a result
there were too many desertions
therefore the Navy depart
ment has been without an
appropriation this year for a
copy writer, and if the signs
on the bill boards inviting
young men to enlist in the
navy are not as attractive as
usual it will be because the
work has been turned over to
nuvi ces, who are more familiar
with scuttling ships and shoot
ing up foreign ports than
writing copy.

Commercial Organiza-
tion for this City

The retail merchants Of this
city may well enlist in the work
to originate a mouement for
the formation of a Board of
Trade or Commercial Orga-
nizatlon, once he has consider
ed the benefits that will accrue
directly to him by the exist
ence in the town of a live COM
mercial organization. 1t is a
patent fact that all classes of
commercial men are benefited
by such a propaganda as a
board of trade can carry on.
1t is doubtful if any class is
helped more than the mercan.
tile class, whose prosperityand
every existence are dependent
upon the local community and
the attitude of the people to-
ward the town in which they
live. 1t is not hard to recog-
nice the indirect assistance
that such a body is to all the
people. It is also easy to as
certain how the retail mer-
chant specifically is helped by
such a movement. A little
thought will suggest a score
of things to which board Of
trade can set its hand to help
the retail merchants of the
community.
Winslow should have one
of these organizations! A few
suggestions will be made i,

that can be done here and is

With five .44-calibre Smith X Wesson revolvers going wide open for over 70 minutes and with 5s bullets fired yes- terday morning at Avondale, between three officers and a negro, only one man was injured, and he only slightly. The negro, George Nixon, was shot III the shoulder and right arm, He was later confined in the city jail, charged with assault with intent to murder.
 About s:30 o'clock Sunday morning oni- eers Tyler and Hudnall changed their uniforms for civilian clothes, preparatory to going to Avondale in quest of a blind tieer. The officers separated near a gro oery store on First avenue at Spring street, Hudnall going toward Gox's drug store, while Tyler stayed on duty at the grocery shop. As he walked up tine street toward the drug store Officer Hmdnall passed a negro who held bundle under his arm. When questioned he refused to say what was in the package
 Willing to work from this as clew, the officer allowed the negro to go on, and walked Into the drug store Pres ently the same negro appeared again and walked toward the drug store, wherein the officer was seated, He carried a re- volver in his hand.

Roosevelt's sudden change of attitude will also hurt him.

 Loud applause from both republicans and democrats greeted the Fitzgerald def, and in thunderous voice the House voted aye on Fitzgerald's motion to re- fuse to accede to the amendments in question. The remainder of the confer ence report was then adopted, a motion made to reconsider and that motion was laid on the table and the House was sealed and bound to stand pat on it's action, no matter what the attitude Of the Senate might be.
 It may be that the soothing hand of time will tend to assuage the ruffled and peeyish disposition of all concerned and that tomorrow everything will be lovely.
