THE AMERICAN ISSUE

especially those who live in prohibition
territory. If some saloonkeepers were
to come into the homes of these
parents who worked so hard for pro-
hlbition and who rejoiced when the sa-
loon had to pack up and leave the coun-
try in which they lived-I say if they
should come into their homes and offer
to sell their boys a bottle or jug of
whisky they would kick them out at the
first attempt. But these misguided
fathers and mothers will let these
whisky peddlers in the shape of daily
paper come into their homes and peddle
out the saloonkeeper's damnable stuff
three hundred and sixty-6ve days in the
year and double the dose every Sum
day; and they will not put in protest.
If this is not straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel, then I fail to read
the signs of the times. May Home and
State continue to carry glad news and
pure truth into homes of the people,
w. J. J. Johnson, in Texas Home and
State.

The City Temperance League of
Peterboro, Canada, is inaugurating an
aggressive local option campaign.
Three years ago the city went "dry"
by over 500 majority but lacked 24o
of the required three-ffths. 1t is be-
lieved that public opinion on the
liquor question has decidedly changed
and there is now good prospect of
securing the requisite three-6fths ma
jority.

POWER OF THOUGHT.
Man Must Be Made of Right Material
 to Rise Above Depression.

Some people are thrown off their balance the moment anything goes wrong with them. They do not seem to have the ability to overcome imped iments and to do their work in spite of annoyance.
 Anybody can work when everything goes smoothly, when there is nothing to trouble him; but man must be made of the right kind of stuff who can rise above the things which an noy, harrass and handicap the weak, and do his work in spite of them. In- deed, this is the test of greatness.
 AS a matter of fact, the greatest achievements in all time have been ac- complished by men and women who have been handicapped, annoyed. per- secuted, misunderstood, criticised. But they have been great enough to rise above all these things and to do their work in spite of them.
 A tremendous power permeates the life and solidifies character from hold ing perpetually the life thought, the truth thought, the cheerful thought and the beauty thought. The one who has the secret takes hold of the very fundamental principles of the universe, gets down to the verity of things, ex- cludes all kinds of errors. and lives in TodIlly llselI A sense or security, or power, of calmness and of repose comes in the life that is conscious of being enveloped in the very center of truth and reality which can never come to those who live on the surface of things.
 Try to visualize the condition of health, happiness and plenty which you long to be yours. The actor does not think that he will sometimes become the character he impersonates, but he assumes that he is the character now he makes himself feel that he is the character. He actually imagines that he is living the life of the character.

SATISFIED WITH RESERVOIR ROAD
Montve Selecmen Viewed New Half Mile of Highway Built
 Next Week-Farview Beating All Records For August.

In company with Civil Engineer Shepard B. Palmer and Superintend- ent John J. Corkery on Thursday, First Selectman George H. Bradford of the town of Mentville went over the new road which has been built in connection with the Stony Brook res
 ervoir work to replace the road in the town of Montville, which would be flowed when the basin of the new res erveir was flooded. Selectman Brad ford expressed approval of the half mile of road which the reservoir con tractor has built. Besides being a well constructed piece of road, it is also a great improvement in the highway which the public travelling that road will appreciate, as it is at much better grade than the old road which it replaces and substitutes a com paratively level stretch of half a mile for some rough and uneven travelling.
 Up to the first of August, the work on the Stony Brook reservoir construc- tien has been in progress for a year and three months, having been start ed May l. 1911, This spring, about the first of May, the contractor started the work of clearing up and filling in the bottom of the basin, which he is still engaged upon and has complet- ed this over a lrr. section of the
Norwich bulletin., 1912-08-03

floor of the reservoir working back from the dam. The peaty, boggy soil in the floor of the reservoir has been dug out and replaced with clean gravel, while a considerable section ofthe bot tom of the reservoir will be rock, made by blasting up the big boulders which have Sbeen excavated from the sides and the hummocks in the basin. This filling in on the bottom of the reser- voir is now approaching Cherry Lane, in the neighborhood of the Palmer house.
 Next week it is expected to begin on the construction of the concrete bridge over the spillway. This will be built entirely of reinforced concrete and wide enough to drive a team acrCs so that visitors to the reservoi, -.l reach the dam that way.
 Meanwhile, with the new Stony Brook reservoir in si ot, uid faithful Fairview is holding up it's end in a way never before known in August On the first of the month Fairview was down 5S inches, compared with q mark of IA inches down in 1910 and 155 inches in 1911 on the first day of August.
