THE NEW CITIZENSHIP.
An Optimistic Message by Rev. Maurice
A. Levy of Newton Center, Mass.

Before very small but well pleased
audience, Rev. Maurice A. Levy, pastor
Of the Newton Center Baptist church in
Newton Center, Mass, gave very in
teresting and inspiring lecture, in the
Baptist church last evening, taking for
his subject, THE New Citizenship" The
affair was in the hands of the Baraea
class OF the church. and they were very
fortunate indeed in securing such a far
seeing. optimistic true American citizen.
Before the address selections were given
| by single and double male quartet.
Rev. Mr.. Holt then introduced the speak
I er as one of his most intimate friends.
Mr.. Levy began by telling of his first
visit into Vermont as bookseller and
! how hospitable he found all Vermonters.
| He was pleased to make this, his second
visit into the Green mountains. His talk
related to the vast growth of the United
States as an import and export country.
how all the large nations had to depend
on her and respect her.
Referring to the immigrant he went
on to tel of the royal welcome given to
all, but Immediately after being well
coined the stranger was left to make his
own way and the country turned around
to welcome another. He said we could
not blame the men who were leaders of
the great strikes and dynamiting plots
but that the trouble was right at the
door OF the American people. What the
country needs most is a national civic
organization which would tend to better
the conditions for the foreigner, and he
would commend such an undertaking.
Speaking of the territorial expansion,
he recalled the time when only a narrow
strip of land on the eastern coast con-
stituted the civilized country and to-day
as il is said "the sun never sets where
the stars and stripes float The speaker
also mentioned the settlement Of the
Rusisn-Japan war. telling how no Eu-
ropean country dared TO interfere but
that when Uncle Sam said stop they i'm
medistely laid down their weapons and
stopped. thus showing the Importance
Of the United States in the eyes Of other
large nations.
The speaker vein Of humor through
out the lecture gave added interest and
vim and maintained the attention Of
those present The lecture was very en-
joyable AZ well As helpful. the only
drawback being that 50 few came out 10
hear the message.
While in Barre, Rev. Levy i the guest I

A woman named Mrs. o. II. p. Bel
mont of New York is reported to have
said that she approved of everything
that the wild women" of England had
done in their effort to get the ballot
and she predicted that similar methods
will be employed in the United States
if the women of the nation do not re-
ceive the ballot by 1915. By 1915, per-
haps the problem of dealing with Grim
mails of the English type will have been
discovered, so the resort to shameless
violence will be nipped in the bud. A
woman of Mrs. Belmont's standing

NoRTHFIELD's LIVELY TIMES.

1t is good news for the whole section
says Washington county, that the gran,
tic industry in Mortified is on the boom
at the present time and that business
promises to be good there for some
months. The Mortified News is author.
| ity for the statement that the largest
concern there is adding men to its pay
roll at frequent intervals, as the com
pany has the Washington postofiice and
the Cleveland city hall contracts to fill,
besides other contracts of smaller size.
Thus it will be seen that the building
granite business is feeling much the
same impetus which the monumental
granite industry is experiencing and 1t
will bring workmen into the state. The
unfortunate feature is. however, that
these workmen cannot be retained when
the building contracts are completed and
the more active period of the trade is
passed. for there is not enough bus
mess in the monumental end of the
industry to keep them all occupied dur
ing the slack times of the building trade.
But that perhaps, is borrowing trouble.
Suffice it to say that everything is
roseate at the present time.

distinction between the people and
the individual. As il TO end the argu'
ment, Alderman Dawson announced !
"Once and for all, | will never 90 to a
committee; the people are going to know
what is going on through the press"
Alderman Brown asked him why the
individuals did not come In person to
the street committee, and thought it
strange that all the complaints were
made to him (Mr. DAWSON. The lat
ter replied that the kick about the Sec
ond superintendent was made to two
other members along with himself.
Remarks made at this stage by Alder
man Bancroft seemed to clothe the ques-
ton in different color. He understood
that the complaint was made because IL
was claimed that the superintendent
foreman had his residence outside the
city, in Barre Town. Consultation with
the street superintendent had proved
that the man was now living within
the city limits. As he had understood
the complaint, the. question of residence
had been the real issue and he believed
Alderman Dawson has misconstrued the
meaning of the compliments. Alderman
Bancroft reviewed the discussion of the
evening and voiced his conclusion that
hot words had passed between Alder
man Dawson and Mr.. DeBrune. There
upon ensued rather lukewarm discus
sion between ward three and ward four
representatives as to the temperature OF
the words. Alderman Dawson didn't
think they were exactly hot and Alder
man Bancroft thought the conversation
drifted in the direction of torrid chan
nels, at least, or words to that effect.
Finishing touches to the summing-up
were given when the mayor said that
foremen had been hired in years past
at larger salaries than the present in
cumbent had been receiving, while Al
derman Patterson ventured the conten-
tion that any man would find it i'm
possible to boss the street jobs alone.
Alderman Dawson said he had got all
the information he wanted and that
they could hire three or four superin
tendents if they desi-&. There was no
rejoinder. The torch of conflict had
