Aaitated IS Years, Yet No Light.

At the time when the electric lights were placed about town, a year ago, it was felt that there should be one set in the hollow between Pecl1's Corner and F'itchs Corner, on East Town street, and the need of a light at that point is more and more apparent. It is Is years since the matter of electric lights was first agitated by the Rural association. In May, 1896, a general meeting Of the association was ad- dressed by Messrs. Jensen and Tough ton of the N F. A. faculty, who gave an illustrated lecture upon electricity, each taking different branch of the subject.

A PINCH FELT BY ALL.

4 woman speaker, addressing tn"
New York Club for Political Study,
Gropped the hin: that the cost of fool
ishncss may he greater item than
the cost OF living within the eXpendi-
turc OF the average income. Her vie"
is that large part OF almost every
family's resources is frittered away on
things that are soon forgotten. and
which could be dispensed with.
Although this is true OF many fam!-
lies. and it is always we'll to warn
against extravaganza. it does not make
the increase in the cost OF the neCes-
sarips Of lif" any less OF problem.
There are hundreds OF thousands Of
Americans who no; only do not waste
tleir means, but can scarcely make
both ends meet in an IRA ri advancing
prices. Investigation OF the high cost
of living is for the benefit OF all. but
especially those who feel its pinch

the seasoned troops OF Great Britain;
that the same thing happened in 1912
and that in the Civil War the men
called from peaceful pursuits, North
and South, began their campaigns like
veterans.
There is no little truth in these OBJ
seryaCons, although all need not agree
as to the immediate application OF
them which General Edwards advises,
Newer historians are discardIng some
Of the romantic myths which we're
once put into the story Of our military
career as nation. What is left is still
inspiring. but 1t carries more conVic-
lion because !: 10 boiled down to the
truth.
No one more fiercely berated the
cowardice and merCenary spirit among
some OF the early Revolutionary sol
diers than Washington himself De-
feat after defeat overlook them. some
times even when they were fighting
with the Advantage of superior num-
bcrs. In the dark days OF Valley Forge
and the Conway cabal. it would have
been hard for anyone to pronounce ii
general panegyriC upon the cittZen's0l'
dier, even though the story Of the Rev.
olution as whole is a heritage OF
glory Of which any nation might well
be proud.
In the War OF 1912, it is admitted
on all sides, only the amazing feats ol
the navy saved the nation from the
dIscred.t which the army would have
brought OH It. The victories OF Fort
McFIenry and North Point. followed By
Jackson'S amazing triumph at New
Orleans, took some OF the bad taste
cut of our mouths as the war closed,
but could not reverse the verdict OF
military incamci!y which the country
10 less than the world, had formed.
As for the Civil War. everyone
knows what a struggle il was TO or
ganiZc and train the armies. and how
the lack OF preparation on both sides
made one balance the other in the
early stages. The superb achieve
nents which shed halo over some or
the later campaigns only illustrate the
roint Of General Edwards that train
ing brings cheney.
Whether 1t is the school histories or
something else, the average Ameri'
cans belief in the sntliCiency OF tho
citixpn.soIdicr appears to be as strong
as ever. He Is inclined TO resent the
suggestion that he cannot lick al!
creation" without serving an apprell-
ticeshlp. Perhaps the revision which
history is undergoing will change his
Vicw to some extent.
