URGES COUNTRY TO SLOW
DOWN.
Rev. A. A. Stockda,e Says Wear
and Tear Of Today is Positively
Irreligious.

Civilization is nervous prostration, !"
the Rev. Allen A. Stockdale told the
congregation at the Union Congrega-
tional church last night, in a poem
which he read at the end of sermon on
"The Limit in Speed"
1.-THE danger in our age" he said,
Giles in the infatuation of our times
with the great opportunities for speed.
l am going to find somebody who will
slow down little as result of this
sermon. That is the purpose of the
sermon. l have seen so many men and
women who speak of the independence
they enjoy under the stars and stripes
and yet are abject slaves to speed.
'There are some limits to our speed.
America is reaching point where the
wear and tear of today is positively
irreligious. The speed that keeps our
wires hot, that drives our express trains
at reckless speed, that hurls an auto
mobile through a squad of honest work
ingmen and then speeds on, we are
standing for this. Where is the moral
sense of the age?
God pity our race in this nerve-rack-
ing pace. boston Journal.

Massachusetts and the Result.

The time has passed for tabulation of
delegates to the Chicago convention. 1t
is immaterial how near Taft has come
to the number necessary to nominate
him, on the face of the returns. Our
Massachusetts delegates were not
sought by either side primarily for
their addition to existing totals, but
rather because of the effects of what
we did here on other mems minds.
There are several groups, having much
to do with the final result, on whom the
influence of Massachusetts action will
be incontestably great And it is with
these groups that the Chicago decision
rests.
There is the Republican National
Committee. 1t holds in its hands the
temporary roll of the convention, and
so the decision of the contested seats.
1t is usually possible for the national
committee to control the convention.
The question is not now one of its
power, but of its inclination to exercise
1t. This is not a case at law in which
the contestants exhaust every resource
within reach, regarding victory as in it.
self the desideratum. The national
committee takes into consideration the
welfare of the party, with whose sue
cess the individual fortunes of its men,
bers are closely identified. This body
is today overwhelmingly anti-Roosevelt,
but it will not on that account affront
what it comes to regard as the great
body of Republican sentiment. Here
is where the influence of Massachu-
sets, by decisive Taft victory, might
have been very potent in saving the
day.
And then there are the southern dele
gates. They are nearly all committed
to Taft today. But they want to be on
the winning side, not only in conven-
ton, but associated with party that is
a winning one in November. 1t is use
less to expect these people to stay with
Taft if the country as a whole gives
them the impression that his is losing
cause. And with the disintegration of

Terms Strictly in Advance.
FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1912.


Republicans of all shades of opinion
have, according to appearances, reason
to be gratified by the outcome of the
Massachusetts primary election. 1t was
a close hard fight, ending technically
on even terms. Colonel Roosevelt's
handsome refusal to take advantage of
the loss of votes caused to the Taft
forces by a bad arrangement of the
names on the Republican ballot and
his proposal to transfer the votes of the
eight elegates-at-large to the Taft
column, though not yet agreed to by
them, ought to have the effect of allay
ing many of the fractional animosities
which have been allowed to invest the
present canvass. That novel action
should point the way to higher stand
ard of political ethics in the conduct
of contest among Republicans for a
great honor and responsibility like the
Presidency.
Among members of the same party
striving in spite of differences to carry
certain common principles into effect
and expecting to unite in defence of
those principles against a hostile party
the rules of fair dealing and friendly
consideration should always be OBJ
served. In many contests for the Presi-
dental nomination there has been too
much of spirit of overreaching and
sharp practice. In this preliminary cam
paign there has been strong DISPOSE
ton and purpose in some quarters to
confuse or prevent an honest choice by
the voters, and a great deal of money
and ingenuity has been expended by
political managers supposed to represent
the interests of Colonel Roosevelt in eff
forts to produce doubts and in creating
Fictitious contests. 1t is to the dis
credit of the Republican national or
ganization that every four years it has
to settle at national convention from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
contests for seats-a necessity which
may at some time vitality affect the in
tegrity of the convention as a repre-
sentative body.
1t is to be hoped that Colonel Roose-
velt's prompt refusal to receive the sup
port of the Massachusetts delegates-at-
large in view of the decision given for
Mr.. Taft in the preference ballot will
be accepted by some of those who have
been active in the colonel's behalf as a
warning to stop their efforts to turn out
delegates through the instrumentality
of contest factory. The manner in
which the situation in Massachusetts
has been Strengthened out is happy
augury. York Tribune.

Mr.. M. j. Hapgood of Peru, in let
ter to one of the candidates from YER
mont for Congress, writes:
We should vote for principles, not
men, and there is plenty of sterling
action for representative to take in
these days. What we want, most of
all, is representative who will imme-
diately and urgently introduce a con-
stitutional amendment for the Direct
Ballot at our presidential elections, a
ballot in which the people at large will
feel interested in and one in which
Every Vote Will Count, whether a
Democratic vote in Vermont or Re-
publican vote in instead of
this abominable electoral system now in
vogue where the whole ruling influence
is necessarily dictated by the machine
and party convention influence.
Another thing we want-we want re-
representatives. who aim to represent the
Whole Nation not those whose chief
ambition is to see what they can do for
their own particular region-get all the
public buildings, pensions, harbor and
river Improvements they can for their
own district, utterly regardless of the
true merits of the matter. Many Con-
gressmen, as a rule, have been mass of
robbers in this regard, each grabbing
all they could get and helping brother
members in order to get help them
selves. True patriotism is what we
want.

for the elimination of grade crossings,
but placed upon the railroads the total
burden of the task. The result will
certainly be litigation, which, if present
indications may be taken as prophetic,
will take years to settle. Thus the
sought-for relief will at the best be long
deferred. 1t would cost the railroads
of New Jersey $3.50, 900, 900 to change
all their crossings. 1t seems scarcely
fair that all that burden should be
placed upon them.
"Our organization, the National High
ways Protective Society is working for
safe crossings with every implement
which it finds to be effective, but we
want them with honor. We are work
ing for good roads, and mean to have
them, but we do not want them built
without a proper knowledge of the
traffic they must bear, and as they are
built we wish to have provision made
for their maintenance, so that the ex-
pended money will not in the end be
wasted.
Good roads are of more Importance
to the farmers, who are the producers,
and heretofore the backbone of society,
than any other thing which they can
get, but the farmer does not wish, when
he gets roads, to be through them made
the unhappy victim of lobby composed
of the vendors of material and OF
machinery"

COMPLIMENTS FOR THE BRIDE.

l must relate a striking salutation
that the bridal couple received from
a Quaker client of mine, a shrewd
dry goods merchant. Presented by
an usher he surveyed the bride,
whom he had never seen before, and
then with the utmost elaboration
proceeded TO say:
civilian, l think the bride has
shown more judgment in her choice
than thee has"
Fortunately before I could turn to
resent this strange salutation he con-
tinued as follows:

Successful Craftsmanship.

To the clerk who would succeed,
| say, cultivate charm of manner.
Courteous manners in little things
are an asset worth acquiring.
When a customer approaches, rise
and offer chair. Step aside and
let the stores guest pass first into
the elevator. These are little
things, but they make you and
your work finer. To guy visitors
or to give short. sharp, llippant
answers, even to stupid or impu-
dent people, is a great mistake.
Meet rudeness with unfailing pa
thence and politeness, and see how
much better you feel. Your prom
Use to u customer is your employers
promise. A broken promise al
ways hurts; and it shows weakness
in the character of business or
ganization, just as unreliability
does in an individual. Most iIiac-
curacies come from not really lis
tening to what is said, or not re
ally seeing what you put down. II
your business is to wait on Gus
toners, be careful of your dress
and appearance. Do your mani
curing before you reach the store.
A toothbrush is a good Investment.
A salesman with a bad breath is
dear at any price. Let your dress
be quiet, neat and not too fashion
able. To have a prosperous APP
pearance helps you inwardly and
helps the business. Give each
customer your whole attention, and
give just as considerate attention
to little buyer as big one. If
asked for information, be sure you
have it before you give it. Do not
assume that the location or fact is
so now because you once thought
it so. Don't misdirect. Make |
your directions SO clear that they |
will be real help. There are houses
known by courteous telephoning. |
Telephone courtesy is big thing,
as courtesy always is. Loss Of
temper gains nothing. The less
you require looking after, the more
able YOU are to stand alone and to
your tasks, the greater

only do your work, but also intel |

more valuable is your life. The
