AID FROM FACTORIES SOUGHT BY CHARITY
 HEAD FOR INJURED

A strong effort is being made by Fred R. Johnson, Superin ntenient of Public Charities, in a direct appeal to the large factories and employers of labor in Bridgeport, to secure a guar antee for the treatment of emergency and accident cases resulting to indi- vlduals at work for them. In many eases, it has been found that those re- moved from the factories after an ac- cident or sudden illness, are not resi- dents of Bridgeport and that they are totally without funds The hospital charges revert upon the department and heretofore there has been little if any, willingness on the part of the ma jority of employers to share in the expense to which the department Of charities has been subjected
 While true that one of the larger local industries has accepted liability and done everything in it's power to aid the unfortunate, this human spirit has not been prevalent to any marked degree here.
 The state of Connecticut does not provide for any employers liability in eases of accident, and the general ten- been to shirk all expense The annual cost to the department is large and plans are being Promulgated by Supt- Johnson, if meeting with the approval of the various employers, will not only tend to materially reduce this burden but will result in Iessening the worry and consequ uent mental strain incurred by the patients under treatment.

THE Forbidden ADJUSTMENTS,

1t was a liberal and reasonable ac-
ton on the part OF the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to recon-
mend that the rule prohibiting dane
ing, card playing, going to theatres.
circuses, and horse races SHOULD be
abolished. The gist of their recon-
mendat!on was that the people shoul
be lsft to Judge for themselves which
nmusements were good and which bad.
There were several reasons why the
rule should be abandoned. In the first
place, like all hard AMI fast rules, It
was M-adapted to endure the passage
OF time. 1t mentioned several alleged
evils by name and as time went by
other like amusements came into fash
ion with the result that wnile a horsa
race or theatrical performance might
be evil to attend. league ball game
could be taken in by the most devout.
While II might be a violation of church
rules to gamble. there was no subsec-
tion to say whether gambling inclu led
buying on q margin or was confined to
matching pennies, shooting craps and
playing bridge for money. II the bis
hops recommendation Is followed the
conscientious churchman need not In
ruire OF himself whether the thing he
is tempted to attend comes under the
head OF horse races. circusss, or the
ntrical performances. but merely
whether II is or is not good for his
immortal soul. ana whether by patron.

we can obtain the amounts that they are
moving toward US or away from us. then
combining the two we shall get the real
direction and rate of motion that tho in
dividual stars have relative to the earth.
The invention Of tho spectroscope has
made this possible, and in the last 20
years the method has been applied with
great success, so that the motion toward
us or away from us Is known FOR several
hundred stars already. and the list Is
growing rapidly. Here again the STUDY

The motion obtained from the star posi-

units-seconds OF arc per year. The mo-
ton toward or away from us obtained
by the spectrO3cope (known technicaiiy
as "radial notion') Is calculated In linear
units-miles or kilometres per second.
These cannot be changed, one 10 tne
other, until the distance OF the star Is
known. Present investigators must De
content with getting the two parts OF
the motion and leave their combination
to O. succeeding generation.
Once more, the studies Of stellar motion
give the motions of the stars as seen from
the earth and thus include whatever mo-
ton the earth itself has. The motion OF
the earth around the SUN Is we'll under
stood and Is deducted from that obtain
ed directly from the stars. but II the
earth and other planets together with
the sun are moving. then this must be al
lowed for also. 1t has been taught for
many years that the sun and planets are
moving toward a point which Is not far
from the bright star Vega. This result
was obtained from study Of proper and
radial motions and assumed that the stars
on the average are moving indiscrimin-
ately in all possible directions lately
this assumption has been questioned, and
several investigators have found that
there is some evidence of drifts of large
groups of stars in different directions
Now this investigation halts until more
material has accumulated; the collection
of data Is the work laid out for investi-
cators in this line of research. More
star positions, more determinations with
the spectroscope, greater knowledge of
distances of Individual stars. are the
needs The first two mean labor by we'll
known methods, but the last has the
handicap that the methods themselves
are Inadequate. The tremendous magni-

enormous distances between the several
bodies in it, are beyond comprehension

RECIPROCITY AND CANADA AS An
ADJUNCT.

We are glad that President Taft
published his letter to Mr.. Roosevelt
in which he spoke of the possibility of
using reciprocity to help make Canada
IAN adjunct" Of the United States eco
nomically and commercially. Some Of
our British contemporaries have tried to
torture this language into an effort to
make Canada a political adjunct of the
United States, but the accompanying
language used in the letter demon
strates absolutely that the President
hai no such thought in mind.
Now If the President really desired
to make Canada an adjunct Of the
United States economically and com
mercially. 1t follows as a matter of
course that he could not have intended
that the arrangement should injure the
people Of the United States. This con-
clusion follows the premise so surely
that demonstration is not necessary.
But strangely enough some of those
who criticised President Taft for pro-
noting the reciprocity arrangemen
looking to close trade relations be-
tween the two countries, now find
fault with him for publishing his own
letter. as ne had a perfect right to do.
because 1t shows what he really In
tended to accomplish.
In short President Taft's letter
proves conclusively that he believed
the arrangement. would help tho Uni
ted States, and our British cousins
evidently take the same view of the
situation.
In other words President Tafts let
ter shows beyond question that his
American critics were wrong, ami tina,
Is the chief reason why they now crit
icise him. They naturally object to
the furnishing OF proof that they were
not right.

subject by putting the unfortunate in an
asylum.
There Is an audacity about this measure
winch staggers the average human being.
Modern States have taken a scientific in
terest in safeguarding, developing. and
improving the agricultural. mineral. and
industrial resources; their only attempt
to promote the human asset has been by
education. 1t is probable that education
Will always remain the last word in the
direction of the positive advancement OF
the human asset. Because the side of
man which ''passeth understanding" ia 30
all-impo-tant II ia tor In him. It ia the
conclusion Of oven such daring thinkers
as H. G. Wells that men can no more I'M
prove their race by artifically breeding
men In the direction n which they wish
the race to grow. than the individual can
lift himself by Juggling at his boot straps.
But laws of tho type OF the New York
act are very different from this. So dif-
mentioning the other kind of eugen!cs In
connection with them is that the two
things may be expressly distinguished
and kept apart. Measures like the New
York law contemplate no positive step
along lines of eugenics but merely tho
sane and sensible attempt to stop the
spread OF the unfit. who on the whole
propagate their kind rather more rapidly,
If let alone, than do the mentally sound.
and If left unchecked dilute the manhood
OF community and are a burden for the
rest to carry.
| Those who are most closely in touch
with the facts tell US that here In Ver-
mont we have need Of such legislation.
We are a Small State whose chief asset
has always been its manhood. Further
more we are, for this country. long
settled community. and one which has
undergone no overturn or change OF de-
velopment or other shaking up OF the
population. Under such circumstances
the general tendency is for people of a
certain more vigorous type to gradually
draw apart and breed up. and for their
opposites to draw apart and gradually
breed down. They tell us that in certain
localities of our State this process has
gone SO far that on the breeding down
side there is need OF State Interference
This seems reasonable enough-and no,
very alarming If the State has sense &c
take up the matter without delay. We
hope with the next session OF the Lsgis.

like that which New York has recently
j added TO her statute books.
