2 N aff We are beginning to look into these matters and to set things right that were manifestly wrong, because we are feeling with all5fhe rest ot the world the. great moral impulse ot our time We are getting that sense or EsoeiaI responsi bility without which no
 government is enlightened and no
 people free. It is the demand or our time that all private profit, Tn Wnat- ever business earned, should be linked with morals and with the interests Of humanity. We intend not only to see that men are dealt with justly, but that they are helped humanely, that children are not suffered to stunt their growth by untimely labor, that women are shielded against carrying too long the cruel burden of mod ern industrial work, that men and women alike are restricted to reason able hours of labor, that their strength is safeguarded by proper sanitation, and that their lives are protected from injury by every device which can make their occupations safe.
 It is a happy circumstance that the pure air of the countryside is begin ming to blow through our affairs, that by many means of quick and easy transportation the farm is being made neighbo to the city, and that the calm thought of the unheeded fields, the thought of men in little hamlets and remote homesteads, IS becoming part of the thought of the nation as it never was before We shall be united people. when class is not set against class, when no man seeks any privilege except the privilege of com mon service.

HUGE DAM ON HOUSATONIC
Plan to Generate Electricity for the
 New Haven Lines.

Derby, Aug. 29.-According to ap- parently authentic information here. the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad Company will next spring commence the construction ot a 5-foot dam across the Housa tonic River. between Otter Rock and Zoaf bridge, which will inundate the ms toric Zoar bridge, and conslderapIe territory in that locality, forming a lake from four to five miles in length and necessitating the erection or new bridge at Zoar and many changes in the roads and the general topo- graphy of the region. The company, which had legislative rights to build such a dam, some time, since sold the right to the Connecticut Company, which run the New Hayen's com pany's trolley, and it was in tur~, transferred to the parent company. Engineers have been at work for months on the proposition. It is un- derstood here to be the intention of the company to erect a huge power plant at this point, which will gen. crate electricity for use in the exten- sive identification of the New cHax en lines projected for the future. There are rumors of other dams to be erected north of here by the same company, but little is known here o1 these projects.

PLEASING FILMS AT
THE SAVOY TOMORROW
Two Especially Good Subjects
Secured

The Savoy has another good pro-
gram for Monday, A synopsis of the
first on the program, Law and the
Lady is as follows: The sheriff's
} best girl is given some jewels by Ter
father and praised by the sheriff A
reward is offered for bold bandit
that had robbed a stage coach. (The
girls father is the unknown bandit
The sheriff and posse go in search of
the bandit, but find no trail Later
the father tells his daughter he is
going to see about some cattle in a
neighboring town. The sheriff and the
lady go for ride when the sheriff is
notified of a hold-up and he rides
straight to the scene as fast as his
horse can carry him. He gets on the
trail and catches the bandit, who
proves to be the girls father. The
bandit is arrested, the sheriff tells the
daughter, and she throws the jewels
away. Love is love, and the sheriff
does not hold the girl of his dreams
liable for her fathers actions. A very
interesting subject, well told.
Another love tale, The Unlucky
Present" is as follows: A young law
yer with the holidays approaching and
the present for his sweetheart worries
him considerably, as his cash is low
A chance comes Unexpectedly. A rich
woman is accosted by two highway !

sends it to his sweetheart, Bess. Boss
expecting something better, casts the
box into the fire. However. Frank,
with the assistance of the kind society 4
lady, manages to clear up the misun-
ierstanding. The fine ring was found.
The making up" scene is pretty,
while the program as a whole is en-
ionally good riding is shown. )

ALL REVERENCE TO ONES BEST
BEST FRIEND.

This is Mothers Day, in accordance
with a custom that has been estab-
lished TO set apart at least one day
in the year for particular homage and
reverence to the mothers of the land.
who are the sweetest, most faithful
and most unfailing friends that one
can have.
One might ask why there should be
9 Mothers Day when within the heart
of every loyal, devoted and thoughtful
girl or boy man or woman, there
should be no day without its many
thoughts of Mother and what can be
done to make her happy. This is true,
but the setting apart of one parti2-
ular Sunday in the year as a special
day upon which to remember Mothe:
and to let her know that she is still
loved and remembered, is an anniyer-
sary that is fraught with a sweetness
and a genuineness of appeal to which
the heart of every loyal son or daugh-
ter should respond
Happy indeed is the man who can
remember his mother today by going
to see her and by kissing her and tell
ing her that he loves her. There ara
some who can cherish only the mem
cry of a mothers face and her heaven
Iy caress, but that is a memory that is
fed with holy fires and can never die
away within the heart that remembers
the beautiful devotion that only a
mother can give. Within such hearts
there is a shrine set apart, and the
memory of Mother grows dearer as
the years swiftly pass. Robbed, in
uStu, Vi lll6 . oWSSLCoI joy 10 III :
heart that cannot remember the touch
of a mothers hand and the tender
ness of a mothers voice.
To many a mother today will go the
missive of love from a son or daugh-
ter far away, who will remember the
day to make it one of joy to the bes.
friend in all the world. Love is only
Part love until it finds some ex-
pression-in deed, thought or action
1t should be one of the sweetest and
most satisfying things in life for one
to tell Mother, not only today, bur
every day when possible, of the love
that one feels for her. And today one
may wear white flower as an en-
tlem of her love and the purity OF
her life as it has been revealed t.
her children and others.

81. 100000 WORTH OF OPIUM
ACCUMULATES IN SHANGHAI
Vice President Asks Everybody to
Help in Urging Revised Treaties.

Shanghai, China, May IA cir
cular telegram from Vice-President Ii
of the Chinese Republic concerning
the Suppression of opium in China is
given great prominence in the native
press today.
Ii begins his despatch with refer
ence to the action OF the Anhwei Pro-
vincial Assembly, which urged the
President and Cabinet to press the
negotiations with foreign powers for a
revision of the treaties in view Of the
stopping of the importation ana
ira sit of opium in the interior OF
China lie calls on the officials, the
assemblies and the people of all the
provinces to consummate the action Of
the Anhwei Assembly by doing their
utmost to further the campaign.
Tit telegram possibly has some
connection with the accumulation of
$45, 100000 worth of opium at Shan
ghai. Repeated representations have
been made recently at Picking by the
Shanghai merchants regarding restric-
tons imposed on its liquidation.
According to the opium agreement
of May. 1911, China undertook to pre-
vent provincial interference with the
transport of opium in the interior as
partial return for India's consenting
to new scale of annual decrease of
importation.

BRUSHING AWAY SECTIONAL
LINES.

Probably no more inspiring result
has originated from the recent Con-
federate Veterans reunion in Macol
than the decision by the veterans o.
that assembly to accept the. invitation
of the Grand Army of the Republic, as
extended to them by Commander in
Chief H. NJ, Trimble, to join in eel :
brating the fiftieth anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg on the historic
grounds upon which that battle was
fought.
1t will be matter of regret to all
tolerant minds and to all residents Of
the South who wish to see sectional
lines obliterated permanently as soon
as possible, that the committee on res
olutions saw fit to give an adverse re.
port in this matter. Far more en-
couraging, however, is the fact that
this sentiment was shown very clear
ly not to be representative of the as
sembly in the fact that the invitation
of our Northern brothers was accept
ed in spite of this report and wi n
what was practically a unanimity o.
sentiment
1t is not only time to forget the diff
ferences that lead to civil strife in the
Sixties, but it is a matter of regre;
that they have not been forgotten al
ready. Not that the great moral
truths involved should ever be effaced
from the minds of Confederate veter-
ans or their posterity but that all an
mostly and hurtful feeling be ever
laid aside in the interest of that peace
and harmony of mind and spirit thai.
must mark any people who would lay
claim to the greatness of soul that
characterizes the people of the South.
The acceptance of the invitation by
the Confederate Veterans to go tn
Gettysburg is an inspiration for every
citizen of the South and every one
who loves the traditions of this peo-
pie and section. The first step was
taken by our northern brothers in ex-I
tending an invitation Could the vec
Grams in a spirit Of peace and brother
illness, similar to that in which the in |
Vitation was given refuse, though it
be to go to Gettysburg and mingle il,
celebration upon the battle ground
where they met the bloodiest defeat OF
the war?
This notable example of fraternal
spirit and harmony serves to call 1,I
mind wildly the words of Tennyson
in Tocksley Hall:
