Star Develops Hunters.
1.-THE Stars crusades have developed
the hunting instinct in many of the
children. They have been taught lessons
of industriousness. and have learned
about the danger of the insect which is
said to have killed more American SOL
diers during the Spanish war than all the
bullets of the Spaniards. Many of the
boys keep at the task of fighting the fly
from morning until night. and have mani
tested a spirit of determination which is
gratifying to the officials of the school

the May. June and July contests this
year. He is leading in the August con-
test. Should he be the winner this month
and capture the grand prize of 500 in
September his total winnings for this

Money Devoted to Recreation.
It was announced today by the Indus

TRYING TO BAR CHRISTIAN SCI
ENTISTS.

Ii has always been the privilege of
American citizens to employ their own
doctor and their own clergyman with
out interference or restraint from any
one; but we appear TO have reached
an age when one class of medicO-
political practitioners venture to di-
vide the medical schools up into reg
ulars and irregulars and to by the
passage Of special laws make it a
crime for the so-called "irregulars'
20 practice.
The Fitchburg CMass.) News says
that in the eighteenth annual report
Of the state board of registration in
medicine, just submitted to the legis-
lature. there is a slyly yelled attack
on various schools Of healing that are
not in harmony with the old time
medical schools. Representatives on
Beacon hill will do we'll to give such
suggestions and bills a wide berth if
they would serve the best interests of
the people. The narrow views express
ed in such movements are not in SYM
athy with modern thought
And it says, further: THE enact
ment into law Of the boards present
recommendations would practically
obliterate the practice Of Christian
Science. 1t would render any one
who practices it liable to a fine of
from 500 to $500, or by both such
fne and Imprisonment, for each Of
tense, and would prevent his recover
ing compensation for services render
ed. 1t would also prevent any one
who desired to receive Christian Sci
ence treatment from doing So"
1t is an established fact that no
class of people are so imposed upon
and preyed upon as the invalid class;
but the unprincipled and inefficient
doctor is confined to no one school,
and the pretence that such a law is
a protection to the people is a false
pretence.
The people should have a right to
select their own medical advisers or
healers as they may see fit; and any
law which operates to the contrary is
an abridgement Of the liberties of the
people-a meddlesomeness that is a
disgrace to civilization.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
POWDER MILL PIETY.

There is an old adage to the effect
that He who works in a powder mill
should be pious The motive of the
half -faeetious saying is evident. II is
that anyone in hourly danger of being
blown into eternity should be on good
terms with his Maker He should
carry q heavier insurance policy than
one in a less perilous occupation In
religion as In finance one should be
well protected in proportion as the
risk is great.
1t is said that when the steamship
Spree broke her shaft in mid ocean
and lay helpless in the rolling seas
very serious temper took. possession Of
the whole ships company. Mr.. Moody
who was a passenger took the lead Of
very earnest prayer meeting. The
smoking rooms and card tables were
deserted in favor of a season of united
waiting on the Almighty for deliver
ance. The common danger had aroused
those religious instincts that had slum-
bered in times of SNUG content and
assured safety. 1t Is not on record,
however, that the prayer meetings
were so well attended after help had
arrived and the voyage had been re-
sumed.

LETTERS To- THE EDITOR
What the Socialists Would Do.

Mr.. Editor: For some time I have
been trying to find out from the social
lists what would be the first bill they
would introduce to relieve the situa
ton, provided they were in congress
and had the opportunity. From this l
could get only one reply: Il would
have the government take possession
Of these public utilities"
l have an answer to my question in
the form Of a bill introduced by Con-
gresham Berger, the one socialist in
congress. Before examining this rem
edy let us first. find out the disease
that is to be treated. AS I under
stand it the socialist complaint is that
the l6boring class Of people do not get
what they produce. There are lots not
socialists that agree with that.
In fact, government statistics tell US
that labor gets only about one-ffth of
what it produces. That is the producer
gets only 40 cents Of what the con
sumner pays a dollar for. Even the
farmer class, according to the secre-
tary of agriculture, gets only from 80
to 80 cents which costs the consumer a
dollar. According to reason and COM
mon sense, this difference between
what the consumer pays and what the
producer receives must be the disease
to which a remedy must be applied.
To apply a scientific, effective remedy
it must be known just how this opera
ton is performed. 1t must be known
just who gets this so to SIS cents.
According to Mr. Berger's bill it is
the trusts. If it be true that the trusts
are gathering in this difference, it will
make no difference to them how they
get it. as long as they get it, and it
can certainly be no relief to labor, so
long as it is compelled to give this up
to the trusts, no matter in what form

LONG DAYS or LABOR.

The Steel trusts men are obliged
to work II hours a day and often to
labor seven days in a week, which
may be safely said to be as near to
slavery as anything can be in free
republic.
Senator Borah relies upon the pub
lished statements of Chairman Gary of
the Steel trust that millj owners will
change these conditions If such hours
are decided to be. excessive and un-
reasonable" Says the senator:
This ought to mean that the United
States Steel corporation stands ready
to remedy this situation because no
man whose conscience has not been
literally eaten away by an Unconscion-
able appetite for money will long hes
itafe upon the proposition that twelve
hours of such labor for seven days
of the week is cruel if not brutal"
Chairman Gary's "if' is. not at all
creditable to his head or his heart
IF such hours are decided excessive
and unreasonable" Under modern
rules nine hours make a days work;
and this system is really getting two
years work into one year 1t shouldn't
take a man of intelligence long to see
that such service is both inhuman
and unjust.

How beautiful our city has looked
with its show of flags during the past
few weeks. Every one must have ad-
mired the display, and felt thrill OF
enthusiasm at the sight of our national
colors floating from roof or portico or
window. Every loyal heart responds
to the feeling Of patriotism thus eX-
pressed, whatever may be the occasion
which draws it forth.
And the flag is teautiful in itself.
1'he same cclors appear in the banners
OF other nations. but no other has 80
fine a combination and arrangement as

guaee of our past history and our fu-
ture expectations. 1t promises us pro
lection for our persons and our prop
erty, wherever we may be- and de-
mands in return our respect our ven
Grafton, our love. For it we should be
ready at all times to sacrifice our self
interest, and to defend it with Cur
lives, if need be-
But you say the display of one day
WIS brought about by 4 commercial
triumph. That is rue, but is not civic
pride one kind OF patriotism, and
very commendable kind it is. too. The
man who speaks well and works well
for his own city is showing and cult
waiting the same spirit which animated
our forefathers when they demanded
from England the right to develop the
resources Of this country to the benefit
of themselves and their descendants.
and refused to build up the revenues of
England at the expense of the colonies.
The "boomers" IN the recent effort
for our clty's prosperity showed them
selves to be true patriots. He who
speaks nnly bad words for his own
town, and brushes down all attempts
for progress, who opposes all advance
in mercantile or other lines, puts him
self among the cless of people who
did the same thing in Revolutionary
times. We call them tories, though
they styled themselves faithful sub
jects of good King George" A man
who works against his own town comes
very near being a traitor, no less than
he who betrays his country's flag.
For Lincoln and Washington we
make a brave show of the flag which
they delighted to honor. For it they
gave freely of their time. their
strength, their talents and their lives,
no less than if they had fallen on the
battlefield, and in life and death they
left us a model of true patriotism
which we do well to initiate in our
lives and conduct. We shall probably
never be called upon to meet great
emergencies such as came to them, but
he who does a little good all the time
may accomplish much in lifetime.
We have all heard Of the little fellow
who wanted 20 help launch a boat.
When told he was not strong enough
to do any good, he said: But. father, l
can push a pound" and that pound
helped.
The children of the present day are

schoolrooms and much more frequently

est must be aroused in patriotic dis
play if we wish to hold for good future
citizens the little ones Of today. Fdu-

HONOR THE FLAG

poised character is worth more than
all the knowledge learned from books
alone. Citizens thus taught to think
for themselves, and to work unselfish-
ly for the greatest good of
the greatest number are not
likely to be found among the strikers"
in labor disputes, or among those who
are blindly following blind leaders to
their own detriment.
I have always enjoyed the spirit
shown by little fellow in one of our
city kindergartens. A visitor inquired
of the teacher if foreigners were adj
mitted. and she replied: "Oh. yes, this
child is German, that one is French,
here is a Polish child, and there is an
Italian, while this little fellow" laying
her hand on the boys shoulder, lis
Syrian" Quick as a flash came the
answer: I am not a foreigner. l am
an American. l was born in this coun-
try, and that is my flag There was
the foundation Of good citizenship in
later years. This reminds me of
story which I heard not long ago Of
little italian boy.
Tony had been included in some
school parade when every child had
been presented with small, inexpen-
sive American flag. The boy was not
more than 10 years old, but even then
had learned to help at home up to his
ability. He could turn the peanut
rooster in his fathers fruit store, and
do many other small services, but the
peanut rooster seemed the greatest of
all to him, so he took his flag home
and attached it to the rooster, where he
could see it while he worked. To ev-
cry one of mis- patrons he boasted of
the flag.
Isn't that flag pretty?" he would
as'z. Il like those 3olors.''
On9 day an italian woman told Tony
he should have the Italian flag instead
as it was his own flag.
But this one is my own flag. ! am
an American" he claimed. How can
1 be an Italian? l was born here"
On occasion he would fight for his
dearly loved treasure when some boy
in sport tried to snatch it from him.
Fighting for the flag, ara your" re-
marked passerby who witnessed one
such encounter. you are pretty young
to be defender of the flag"
Lifting his big, brown eyes. Tony
answered: Il love that flag, and when
I'm man I'm going to be a soldier
to march with it."
Then he spread out the tiny flag he
had rescued on his small knee and pat
ted it Lovingly, and counted the stripes,
as ne nad done many tunes DeIOre.
Its nice to get new star for every
new state The teacher told me about
that By the time I'm a man 1 expect
there will be a hundred of them"
Tony wondered why his listener
laughed as he turned away, but he
never will know that he had uncon-
sciOusly given a lesson in patriotism.
If he keeps the promise of his youth,
there is in training at least one candi-
date for sound. loyal citizenship.
No doubt there are many more Of
his kind to be found among the little
ones of our schools. The training
there should help them to be helpful
| to themselves, to their community and
! to their country. Older people may
well take pattern from such, for a little
child shall lead them.

Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1912-02-17

1t is done. Mr. Beiger's remedy, &C
cording to his bill, is for the govern
ment to buy the trusts and pay for
them with government bonds to run
for so years, paying interest on the
bonds to the original trust magnates.
Somewhere l have read that labor
pays it al" and of course labor must
pay this interest. Before the govern
ment buys the trusts, the trusts take
it direct from labor.
After the government buys the trusts
the government acts as agent for the
trusts and taxes labor to pay the in
terest to the trusts. AS an example OF
the benefit to be received by govern
ment ownership to labor l will cite the
case Of Manitoba in owning the tele-
phone. Manitoba gave SO, 200, 900 bonds
to run for 40 years at 4per cent 1t
pays S12S,00 interest per year. In 40
years it will have paid $5,120,000 in
interest. This will be S1,920,000 more
Of interest than the original principal.
I see no reason why this same prin-
ciple will not work the same in the
United States as in Manitoba. Now
want to ask Mr.. Berger, or any other
socialist. how is the government to
take up its bonds at the end of so
years? Will the government create the
money then and pay them? If so, wty
not create it now and pay cash for the
trusts instead Of in bonds? Or is the
government to refund the bonds for
another so years7 II the latter. how
much relief will this be to labor?
One other question: Has congress
the right to create a legal tender
money? If 1t has, what right has con-
gress to create a 1ebt (bond)? II IL
has no right to create the money, who
now?
