HuMANtrY AND FREIcHT.

Some of the recent fires at sea have revealed the necessity of careful con efdeFation being given the character of ea-goes which are carried by passen- ser vessels, At the present time, bar ring the most dangerous articles, steamships carry eargoes of most ev- ary kind of merchandise whether they happen to have all passenger accom- modations taken or not. This as is readily seen offers a menace to human life which cannot be overlooked despite the far-reaching powers of the wire less in summ oning aid. Nothing has given rise to the demand for a better regulation of this condition than the burning of the Volturno and the fire in the steamer Balmes from which it's hundred passengers were taken for safety.
 On the latter ship the cargo of cot ton and rum provided just the ma teriaI for a disastrous fire and the character of the cargo of the VoItUrno made the trip more hazardous than it otherwise would have been had restric- tons been placed upon such a matter. The fact that oyer a hundred lives Sere lost thereon Is one of the best

ECZEMA ON HEAD
 ARMS AND ACE
Spread and Itched. Raw Surface When Scratched. On Body Would
 Scale Of. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured in Three Months.

Rowland, Maine. -" My little daughter aged thirteen years was troubled with eczema on the head, arms and face. Some of the sores on the head were as large as 8 penny and one on the inside of the thigh was as large as 6 quarter of dollar and that one lasted over 8 year. The eczema came out like little red pimple and spread and would itch and when scratched of would be raw surface and bleed. Then dirty scaiy scab would grow and on the head was the thickness of a thin piece of Daste-board. while on the body it would scale of.
 ''She had this trouble nearly two years when I saw the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the paper and sent for some and the very first application proved it's worth. l used the Cuticura Soap with as hot water as could be borne and the Cuticura Ointment after the surface had dried I used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment about three months before she was cured" (Signed) Mrs. J. A. Eldredge, Nov. 7, 1912.
 Not only are Cuticura Soap and Ointment most valuable in the treatment of eczemas and other distressing eruptions of skin and scalp, but they are also most effective in the treatment of pimples, blackheads, red. rough skins, itching, scaly scalps, dandrlIff, dry, thin and falling hair. chapped hands and shapeless nails.

Henry H. Kingsley and Franklin.

Henry ri. Kingsley and Franklin.
 Mir Editor: Those residents of Franklin who are interested in the lit tie church, set like a beacon on Meet ing House Hill, read with interest and qualification the account in today S Bulletin of the ultimate disposition of the estate of the late Henry H. Kings ley. It was 8 surprise to the people here, for MT Kingsley moved from the town so many years ago that he would naturally have acquired inter- ests in other causes, but the wording of the will. which shows that it is in tended as a memorial to his father, indicated that filial feeling was par amount with him.
 The founding of a trust fund, to be named the Henry w. Kingsley fund for the benefit of the church in Frank lin, recalls to the minds of the older residents of the place the pleasant and strong personality of a worthy man. MT. Kingsley was born in Franklin and for many years was a successful farm CT here. Indeed, his farm was in many ways a model, years before all agri- cultural improvements may be known to anyone who can read a newspaper. He thought and studied things out for himself, and applied the results of his thought and study to his own acres, with the consequence that his crops were oftentimeS the talk of the town.
 But MT Kingsley was more than a farmer. With the proper environment and education he would have made a great lawyer. The bent of his mind was toward legal matters and he read to so good purpose that his advice, which was ever at the disposal of his friends and neighbors, was oftentimes

TIE COL toMsIAN PROPOSAL.

Whether it is a fact that we need s wider canal zone as advocated by Earl Harding at the Latin-A American conference. 1t is true that the Colon- bian claim should be settled and it Is possible that the solution of the en- tire matter lies in the carrying out of some such negotiation as he has pro posed Mir Harding has given much time to Investigating and studying the situation and his suggestion Is open to serious consideration.
 Colombia is continually pressing for a settlement of her claim. Numerous attempts at negotiations have failed because of the feeling whica exists against this country for the manner in which Panama was separated from Colombia This Is something which is going to require more than fair sum of money to wipe away. When Mir. Harding suggests acquiring the ter r1afnal cities with the additional land for increasing the width of the zone the plan provides for the same free dom to the Panama people and the return of the remaining portion of Panama republic to Colombia would go farther towards healing the breach than any money consideration.
 The terminal cities are bound to become important ports in the com ing development of the canal and they should have the proper attention as 10 government and health during that development. MT. Harding's plan seems to kill two birds with one stone and if such can be put through, without any detrimental features, it will be a happy solution of the resentment and hatred which was kindled and has since continued to burn because of the taking of the isthmus.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
The Joy of Work.

Instead of work for money there will be in the coming time craftsman ship for the joy of it. People now love to make, do and manage things for fun, when the things are what they enjoy doing. The problem of civiliza- ton is to change labor into craft and thus into play.
 Machinery is more and more re- placing the drudgery of hands. The steam dredge does the work of a hundred hand shovels: carry that on hundred years and imagine the vast amount of disagreeable effort that will be taken from men.
 There will be the enthusiasms of art, of music, of letter and science. Even now the best work here is not at all for money and is poorly paid.
 The joy of homemaking is not a money paid pleasure.
 We are all sensitive to public opin- ion. The scorn of our fellows is a sharp whip. As we progress 1t will grow sharper. Men will be ashamed to be idle Human beings work as hard to avoid contempt as to get money. To have the esteem and praise of the community will move men as powerfully as to make gain.
 In a wage free democracy we shall not only have better poems and paint ings and scientific discoveries and music, but street cars will be run better, groceries and milk will be of better quality and better distributed, meals will be better cooked, clothes will be better made and all the little necessary work of the world better done, because always a large part of the people can do these things and cannot write poetry nor compose music.
 All men will do more and better work when they shall work because it is fun to them, and when not to work will only win the contempt of their fellows.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

of great value to them. In the affairs of the First Ecclesiastical society of which he was a member, his almost expert knowledge was of great aid, and his services were always at it's com mand. He represented the town both in the legislature and the state sen ate and when late in life he sold his farm and took up his abode in Nor wich, all Franklin felt it had lost one of it's first citizens.
 And this is the man whose memory is to be perpetuated in 8 fashion than which there can be no better The fl- ture of the Congregational churches in little New England hill towns is 9 dubious one. Old families die out, and newer ones, even if they be church goers, are sometimes of other creeds. Year by year the regular attendants on divine worship diminish in num- ber Yet the church has a mission as much as ever and it would be a sad day for any town when it's one re- Hgious society was obliged to close it's doors for lack of support. That day might have been far distant for the church in Franklin, yet it Is conceiv- able that it might have come. The Henry w. Kingsley trust fund assures it's friends that the future of the church, humanly speaking, is secure, and that it will continue to bear wit ness as it has for nearly two hundred years to the worth of the spiritual element in human lives. This is a case, notwithstanding Shakespeare, when "The good that men do, lives after them"

ATTACKING sPEcuLAroRs.

If the opera scandal in New York city means the taking of steps against the highly undesirable scheme of tick ct speculation. it is going to prove a blessing fin disguise, not only to attend ants at operas. but to most every public entertainment where there is a good sized demand for tickets. The ordinary speculation in tickets has been bad enough but with the opera tickets everything else is outdistanced. Not only have the inside operations of the scheme been disclosed, but the opera patrons have been forced to pay twice for tickets which had already been purchased Ticket speculators are al ways ready to feast upon an anxious public and many organizations are do- ing most effective work for the sup pression of this imposition. This is particularly true of the big baseball contests and the football games where the spectators are reduced to the min fmum- but with the big city theaters this unnecessary mfdd1eman continues 10 prey upon the generous public and as the latest revelations show, with the aid of the theatrical houses.
 Even when the organization or cor poration has condemned and fought the specu1ator a certain amount of the practice is continued for which there can be no blame. but when such a wholesale swindle has the sanction of the promoting organization, every bit of legal relief which can be secured is deserved. It is time that an end was put to such practice wherever it occurs, The New York affair is sim ply advancing the time when the tick ct office will be held responsible for keeping any unusual number of tick cts from the spectators.

PHYSICAL CONDITION.

Perhaps nothing in the lists of elec- ton expenses has caused more atten@ tion than the largest item submitted by the mayor elect of New York which showed an investment in a series of boxing lessons. Boxing lessons in con- nection with political battles seem to open up a new line of effort but 1t must be conceded that MT. Mitchell saw the necessity of giving the prop CT amount of attention to maintaining his physical condition. To gain the election but to lose his health would profit him little. He realized it and understood the necessity of keeping himself in good bodily health, a re- quirement which many other men en- gagged in important tasks have come to fully understand.
 It is not to be supposed that MT, Mitchell became convinced of the value of such training at the last minute. He evidently followed it with method ical precision fully convinced, as he must have been that the example fur nished by men of prominence in the public eye had merit in it. It is not to be supposed that presidents, the heads of great corporations and others who carry large problems before them engage in any particular line of exer- else simply for the pleasure which is afforded There is the need of keeping the body in trim to meet the mental demands. Boxing was the avenue in which MT. Mitchell saw his chance to keep himself fit for the hard fight and he improved it. It was an ac- knowledgment of the need of proper care, whether he won or not

IS IT A sANuNG7

The statement was recently made by Morgan G. Bulkeley that he would be satisfied if his efforts before the public service commission and the ap- peal to the supreme court resulted in saving the stockholders of the New Haven road the two million dollars which it would cost under the existing agreement for the floating of the $67, GOO, 900 issue. His stand against such costly bond issues in sthe future is commendable but in the present sit nation it is ha I'd to see where his aC- tion is effecting any great saving.
 Though the big issue is temporarily stopped, a 45 million loan is impera- tive now and in this connection the Hartford Times well says, An exact ing commission of one-half of one per cent. for a loan of $45, 100000 to run six months or less, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent. and the for nal intimation that the company in tends to press in the courts it's right to issue the $67 552, 0O0 of debentures, the commission for underwriting which is already contracted for at 2 1-2 per cent. require no mathematician to demonstrate an additional expense for the stockholders, since one-half of one per cent. and two and half per cent. make three per cent. That's plain as the nose on anybody's face.'
 The move seems to be one of em- barrassment rather than assistance just at this particular period of the road, however much it may prove an admir- able policy for the future.
