Letters From the People
Sister Parsons Writes
Editor of The News

To the Editor or The NeWs: l:
 We want the whole of our rights to vote, but will never use the ballot just for convenience. Nol we are moral beings we wish to help make the laws we are obliged to live under. Suffrage is right to vote and very par ticular so with us citizens of State where representative government exists as in ours. The principles declared in 1776 said that women should not be de- nied this privilege. The negro was never taxed until he voted. You know in our old fashioned spelling book there was story where the old man could not make the boy get out of the apple tree until he took up stones and went at him.. God forbid that women shall have to resort to thls smashing business, Woman is to congratulate herself that the irrational sentiment based upon the methods and customs of barbarous times is rapidly passing away and yielding to reason. The world is learning, woman also is learning, that character-even woman character-does not suffer from too much breadth of thought or too much in the way of active sympathy in interests of human activities, etc., but is ever enriched by 8 larger breadth of ideals and larger experience. We all know how fast woman suffrage has gained in the few past years. She will soon pass the last milestone and will reach the goal. Truly yours, without any more said-we stand for Equal Rights. NJ. A. P.

The iceberg that sank the Titanic seems to have been the one touch of ma ture that makes the whole world poets. The News has received six separate sets of verses, in six different kinds of metre, all from local poets inspired by the great catastrophe. Evidently it needed some such disaster to reveal the unsuspected fact that Canaan IS the breeding ground of the Muses, and that Mr. and Mrs. Muse and the whole Muse family are ''in our midst"

Still complaining of the way the state was divided when the new congression- al districts were arranged, the Hartford Oourant says that "Litchfield County was thrown over in with the Naugatuck Valley, with which it has no natural affiliations. Bless you, the most indus trious and populous part of Litchfield County is the Naugatnck Valley Waterbury American. And bless you again, it is balanced by having as its logical metropolis the town of North Canaan, on the other side of the county.

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Is life worth living2 Ask the rose That by the public highway grows, Knowing it soon must meet its doom, Must lose it's perfume and it's bloom And yet is glad that it can live And of its beauty freely give. Is life worth livingi Ask the bird That in the early morn is heard, Pouring its notes so full, so free, Like messages for you and me. We almost seem to hear it say, "Rejoice for yet another day" Is life worth livingR Ask your heart That in life's making has part. Though trials come, love makes amends, Knowing the best of life ne'er ends; A heart that every day can sing, Finding some good in everything. Is life worth livingf Iris indeed And we're supplied our every nesd. Such wondrous blessings we receive, That surely we must all believe Life's worth the living, and should pray "Lord make us thankful every day.n

The theory that the unsettled and un- precedented weather conditions are the result of the powerful disturbances of the atmosphere caused by wireless tele- graphy which has spread over the whole earth on land and sea, is seriously con- sidered by scientists. And in that view of it, the question may well be raised, whether, considering it's alleged possi- bilities for upsetting the natural order of things meteorological and abolishing forever the equal balance of the seasons, wireless telegraphy is such blessing to the race as it is cracked up to be.

The phenomenal growth of the Ma tional Citizens League for the Promo tion of Sound Banking. is evidence of the determination of the people to force their representatives in Congress to pro- vide protection to business against financial scares and panics. Thousands of people have joined the League in every State of the Union, paying their membership fee of one dollar, thus proving their earnestness, while many business men have made large contribu- tions to the necessary fund for the prose- cution of the educational campaign being conducted. The League purposes to bring such pressure upon Congress that an adequate law for the enhance ment and protection of the immense business of the country shall be passed as soon as the best can be devised.
