EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Big Cities For Privacy.

One reason why people flock to ct- ties is that they may be able to mind their own business.
 Political economists seek complex and devious reasons for the tremend- ous rapidity of city growth and for the desertion of the country and of the country town. The cause, how ever, is quite simple, as simple as human nature. The people go to cities because they want to-. That's all.
 Take the village of Podunk. In the first place. you would not be allowed to go there to live without explaining why you came, where you came from and what your business is.
 If you do business in Podunk and usually get down to the store at g and some morning you do not appear until 10 the town will not rest until it knows why
 Your neighbors know all about you and your wife, your sons and your daughters. The bank cashier knows the size of your pile, the grocer and butcher know what you eat, the dry goods merchant knows what sort Of underclothes you wear and how much your women folks spend on corsets, and they all meet and check up.
 It is all a very cozy family ar rangement. You live in the constant glare of the limelight.
 Some people like it. and feel lost and lonesome in the city. But more and more that class is growing to whom this perpetual invasion of privacy is disagreeable.

RED CROSS SEALS.

There is no more worthy undertak- ing than the anti tuberculosis move n1ent which gathers speed at this sea son of the year through the sale of the Red Cross seals. It is a matter in which everyone should be interested whatever their means and through the method adopted the opportunity is provided for general participation. Recognition of the excellence of the cause is to be found in the increased receipts from stamp sales since they were first issued in 1905 In the past five years nearly d million and a half has been raised in national cam pafgn for the fight against the pro- gress of tuberculosis in the different states.
 The Red Cross stamps and the pur- pose for which they are offered cannot help but inspire everyone who is in terested in plailanthropic work, and surely such should be the desire of each and every person however much they may be limited in their expenses. The seals are designed to overcome whatever burdensome feature might be connected with such work and when it is realized that five seals to each person would more than dispose of the local allotment, the important part which all can play is indicated.
 The value of the efforts of states and organizations in fighting the white plague is well known To assist in such work should be considered not only a privilege but a duty and it should be to the credit of Norwich at the close of the eanBaign and the heI- idays that if has considered it wise to invest in 16S,000 or more of the seals which are handy, not for postage, but for decoration,

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Wilson has again appear >d before the nations lawmakers and personally delivered his message in Accordance with the rekuirements of the office that he shall inform congress ~of the state of the Union" He aweHs not a little upon the fact that the country is "at peace Fith all the world but in urg- ahg the ratification of several treaties ?f arbitration awaiting renewal, atten- hon Is called to a matter of much inn Portance particularly in view of our policy of peace and the firm belief which Is manifested in the restoration pf constitutional order in Mexico as ihe result of the attitude of this gov brnment
 When the president calls attention te the urgency of reform in the bank Ing and currency system and hopes For Its early accomplishment he must recognize the careful attention and ac- ton which such an important change should receive. It is something which ought never to be rushed through congress without proper Knowledge of what is trying to be accom- plished and whether the proposed changes will ac- compiish it. Much time was given to the question of farm credits and the need of proper handling of that i'm portant matter. On the question of trusts he favOrs letting the Sherman antitrust law remain, but working to decrease the debatab ble ground about it. Thus he would perfect an inn portant law instead of destroying it.
 Attention is called to the importance Of the necessary legislation for the national primary and he reiterates his position upon the Philippines and the Alaskan question and advocates mak- Ing the bureau of mines broader and more powerful and the enactment of a railway employees liability law. and lays particular stress upon the latter when he declares that social justice comes first
 The message is one which follows the recommendations of the demo- cratic platform touching upon the mat ters in a general way without offering facts or arguments, those being left for congress to gain from the depart ment reports, Ii is a noticeable fact that the president considers it unnec- essary to refer to needed legislation upon the high cost of living.

WILL IT SUCCEED OR pEalsHg

In accordance with its continuance from the extra session, the Hetch- Hetchy bill is new before congress to ton of 1t should mean early action in whatever direction may be decided upon, but it is a measure which should not be disposed of without first learn ing the facts and conditions. The op- position to the proposal for which San Francisco seeks the sanction of the government comes from the fact that the destruction of a national park is sought that that city may obtain Wa ter and power privileges at less ex- pense than in some other direction. It means the disregarding of the na- tional feature to serve the purpose of one small section of the country. Immediately the bill passes it means the end of that western beauty ground but the defeat of the bill simply means that San Francisco must seek to sat isfy it's demand for public and pri- vate water rights in another direc- tion.
 The passage of the bill will mean a precedent which can be expected to be brought into frequent use. It is therefore an action which is going to have a widespread instead of a local effect With the advocates and the opposition assembled in the national capital it is proper that the matter should be threshed out upon it's mer- its and once and for all end the inclin- alton to break up national parks.

It began so gradually that Brixbill did not notice it at first. One by one the parlor rugs disappeared and there came a day when there were no DOT tieres He was suspicious the evening his wife tried to hinder him from en- tering the parlor by the suggestion that it would be so much cozier in the upstairs sitting room. Peering in, Brixbill saw that the lace curtains were gone.

 Yes. I am!" Mrs. Brixbill answered. in the defiant tones of the cornered housewife. There's no sense in your raising such a row over housekeeping that I'm driven to doing it in an un- derhand way. If there ever was a f1nicky man, it's you. John Brixbill. wish you'd tell me how I'm to have a spick and span house if don't house cleani Answer me that!'

 I'm sorry the loss of the parlor curtains is causing you such acute agony" declared Mrs. Brixbill. And I didn't dream that you were so at tached to the back library portieres! But if you've begun to suffer you might as well have something to suf- fer about, and I shall throw all pre- tense aside and begin to housec lean in earnesti This place needs renoVating from top to Dottom!"

 T wish you would!" declared his wife. unfeeIingly." Then you'd ap- preciate your own home when you got back to it!"
 Brixbills expression of acute suffer ing began to come into his face five blocks from home the next night. When he reluctantly opened the front door his worst fears were confirmed. T: here were bare floors, bare walls. stepladders, empty rooms or shrouded furniture. where furniture remained. and buckets and messy wet brushes lying around and floor cloths speckled with paint and calcimine.

oUR SAILORS ABROAD.

From all directions the reports in dicate that the sending of the fleet of warships to Mediterranean NJ ports has been of much benefit. It was intended as an educational trip for the sailors on the several battleships and there is ample reason for believing that it was successful. Such is not only the declaration of the men themselves, but their actions indicate that full advan- tage has been taken of their oppor- tunfties. They have put in their time to the best advantage and at the same time dispelled any unfaVOrable impress sions which had been gained through the action of a few at other times Jack ashore has been generally con- sidered a troublesome fellow. How well those in the fleet overcame that idea is evidenced by the reports from every point they touched praising their behavior.
 There is no reason why this should not be SO It is because it has not always been the rule that it calls for attention now Relaxation from the discipline on ship has often led the bluejacket into various forms of mis- chief but the example which has been given in the recent test not only in dfcates the worth of such foreign cruises but it makes certain that such behavior is the kind which. will give greater encourag cement to them. It shows that our sailors are getting a benefit from their training and making good use of it as they should do It is such compliments as they have re- ceived which gives them greater pride in being American sailors.

STATE RELIGION IN CHINA.

It is an important question which the president of the new republic of China has before him in the matter of adopting a state religion for that coun- try. There are many others of a po- liticaI nature which need adjustment but in no instance is the future of China more involved than in this pro- posaI Such a move as is now being made in behalf of Confusianism is against the best interests of China and it is meeting with the same opposi- tion that was given to the moyem ent two years ago to have Christianity made the state religion This opposi- tion comes from all the representatives
 of other religions upon the ground that the state and religion should be sep
 arate in order not to hamper business and government.
 That Yuan Shi Kai, the new presi- dent of the republic. is a Confucian- ist has given strength to the belief that he would listen to the urging of its adoption as the state religion, but that he realizes that China is in need of Christian ethics if the republic is to progress and profit in it's endeavor to rise from the conditions of the past, is indicated by his personal statement President Yuan holds a most infiuen- tial position in the new republic. It is much the same as under the old empire and the solution of the matter lies in the ability to persuade him that the action which is being sought is against the best interests of China. It would mean not only hindrance to business and politics, but it would hamper missionary effort to which China owes a great deal.
