THE ARSON PLOTS.

Because of revelations which have been made in the two largest cities of the country that firebugs make their living. and a good one. from carry ing on the crime of arson, the author ities are making rigid Investigations of the so-calIed arson pIots'' with the idea that they shall be kept at the minimum. and not only discoura ged by prosecution. but that efforts shall be made to overcome the conditions which offer so attractive opportunities for the setting fire to buildings and collecting the insurance therefrom.
 With such confessions as have been made to the district attorney of New York whereby an association of incen- diaries and dishonest renters Of tene- ments and procurers of insurance for large sums on small amounts are claimed to exist and the statement of Fire Commissioner Johnson that one-quarter of the fires in the metrop- oils are of incendiary origin, and the agreement of fire insurance men that fifteen per cent. of them may result from that cause, it is high time that a determined effort was made to over come this peril. New York is not alone in suffering from this condition for Chicago is at work endeavoring 10 ferret out and overcome the same thing.
 Fire is bad enough when it results from reasonable causes, but the mak- ing of arson business and thereby endangering human life and property and business of others deserves dras- tic treatment and the authorities seem likely to have interesting investiga- lions and discoveries ahead.

rHE HOME RULE BILL.

After a long struggle the home rule bill for Ireland has passed the house of commons. an important step for the carrying into effect of that legisla- ton after long years of steady and in sistent effort. Not only at home but to Irishmen the world over 1t is the oause for rejoicing in the same pro portion as it is in the emerald isle. It means some time yet before it goes into operation for the house of lords can be expected to do its utmost to overthrow it. but it's strength is less than it was. Ulster. however, still of fers determined opposition to the eff forts and success of the nationalists who demonstrated by their vote, how ever. that they had a comfortable ma jority through the aid given them by their allies
 The success of the home rule meas ure today means a much different ac- comp1ishment than it would have dur ing the days of Gladstone. The bill has gone to the mill many times and it has been wonderfully changed so that it bears little resemblance to the measure for which Irish leaders have been fighting for three decades or more. Its proponents. however, see therein the beginning of different things along the lines which they de- sire and through which as beginning they are hopeful of denonstrat ting their claim to being worthy and en- titled to some of those provisions for which they fought but which were denied them. The action of the com mons has placed home rule to the front as the live issue to which great CT interest than ever will be given

world apparently solely for their health They expect to be coddled and petted. They go through life testing their pulse and examining their symptoms. Their main endeavor is to avoid germs and to remember to put on their rubbers. We need not expect large things from such seTnf-inValids.
 Others seem to be here simply as lockers on in Vienna 'They survey life merely as a pageant or interesting show They read the papers, go to the theater travel from the Nile to the Golden Gate. You will find them anyWhere there is anything interesting to be seen or heard. They sit in the grandstand explaining the game to the ladies. But they take no active part in the game. They merely look on from the outside.
 But there are some and we ought to thank God for it, who are here for bus mess. They are the light bringers, the burden bearers, the helpers of their fellow men. They cause two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. They are the real benefactors of thd race.
 Every good cause is dependent on their steadfast endeavors. They step into the breach when others fall out. They take up the burden dropped by those who sometimes refuse to pull even their own weight

A COMPLICATED ACCOUNT

I usually sparkling with animation, | though now their lustre was dim med by tears. A charming picture she made in her pretty room, her attire in perfect keeping with her surroundings, l her hair dressed in the latest fashion, adapted in a becoming way to her pe- culiar beauty Happy in all things were it not for her evident distress So her old friend Mabel stanton l found her, coming into the room with 1 her accustomed freedom, but starting l back as she felt that she had intruded, I Ruth however, called out to her to i come in, adding that she was just the | one she wanted to see and proceed l ed to tell her her grievance, finishing with:
 ! tIn never get them settled, and I shall be ashamed to show them to Walter and fresh outburst of tears l testified to the truth of her state ment.
 Would you mind my helping you. Ruth" begged her friend. T do this work so much, I think I can unrave1 | the tangle for you, and I'd like to help you"
 'Td be so thankful if you would, but there's something wrong. Now all | those bills!. Walter has a page here marked bills payable, but I've paid them all once, and they ought not to be paid again, am sure; but I can not get the balance right if I don't put them there. What can be the mat teri"
 Let me try" urged Mabel" with an encouraging smile. T think we shall soon get them right
 Together they attacked the mass before them, and quickly obtained the desired result.
 That seems so easy now" said Ruth thankfully, but it will be just as bad next time. Now stay and have din ner with us It is nearly time for Walter to come.''
 MT. Woodbridge appeared soon, and greeted Mabel cordially for all his wife's friends were welcome to him. and the table was always Well-appoint- ed; so that a guest was pleasure to both him and his wife. After MabeFs departure, he remarked that, as they had no engagement for the evening, it would be & good time to look over the accounts.
 We'll said Ruth, thanks to Mabel they are right this time," and she told of the experience of the day, and of MabePs coming to the rescue.
 "I fancied I detected traces of tears when we were at the table. Now think I can explain this to you so that you will have less trouble an- other time. We cannot have you in tears over such a trifie. I had no idea it troubled you so: I'll do it myself after this'
 ''No. Waiter" pleaded his wife, "let me try again. Mabel told me some things about it today. If I do not suc- eeed next time. I'll give 1t up, but I want to try once nere.''
 True enough the next time the ac- counts came out ali right much to Ruth's delight, and her husbands words of praise were a rich reward did she find her account book cause for tears, though I fear she will never choose bookkeeping fer a vocation.

THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.

Not as yet has President elect Will son given an inkling as to who will make up his cabinet. There has been much guessing as to who will be chosen and the suggestion has been made that he will not confine him self to his party in the gathering about him of the corps of department heads. It would be in accordance with the action of other presidents if h. did go outside the democratic ranks in making up his cabinet inasuluch as Presidents Hayes. Cleveland, Roose- welt and Taft did so. The possibility Of the idea of calling in men from other parties causes the New York Tribune to say that by 80 doing Mir, Wilson would "break no new furrow in politics if ils goes outside the dem- oeratic party for some of his ndvis- CTS. Little political significance in fact would attach to the choice of 7 ne or two non democratic advisers The in- dividua1 affiliations of a eabi5iat off, cer no longer loom large, IIs be- comes a part Of the administration in which he serves, and the adn4inistra= tien takes its color e1Iaest entirely from the views and policies If the president.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Conditions in Mexico are not show ing the steady degree of improvement which this country would like to see and the sending of the gunboat Denver to Acapulco to take care of the inter- ests of Americans at that point fndi- cates a seriousness which recalls the earlier stages of the revolt against the Madero government. The Mexican republic has kept this country in a state of uncertainty for the past four years through the trouble during the Diaz and the MaderO terms. It has manifested at times it's ability to handle it's own affairs, but these are of short duration and constant oppo- sition to the present government has kept the republic in a steady turmoil. state of affairs which should be checked not only for their own well fare, but for the relief of those who are subjects of other countries and look to that government for protection.
 This country is doubly interested in Mexican affairs. First, because it has many people there with extensive in
 terests who look to this country to see that they are properly protected, and secondly because of the fact that American influence has been received and is being used to keep the trouble going The latter is of course without the sanction of the government. but whatever efforts are being made in this country to finance or arm the rev. olution should be checked. This is the duty of this country. Its policy against intervention is a wise one and should not be resorted to except as a last resort. but it's stopping of American backing should be rigidly pursued.

Cwritten Specially for The Bulletin.o )

 Pretty Mrs. Woodbridge was in tears She had married Walter Wood bridge only six months ago, and she felt, and all her acquaintances agreed riage, for Ruth Russell and Walter Woodbridge were well mated. They
 had known each other all their lives
 had many mutual tastes, many friends in common, and all bid fair for a hap py married life in lovely home. Wh8 then could have brought her to this state of weeping at the time of my story? Certainly not the lack of mon ey, for there was an abundance Of that on both sides of the house. Nor furnishings, as in that direction every wish was gratified as soon as known, for Walter was indufgent to the last degree whenever Ruth expressed a desire for anything Neither had she and Walter had a quarrel; such a thing had never occurred between them, nor was it likely to happen they loved each other too dearly for
 that.
 What, then, could be the cause of those tears. which filled her eyes and overfiowed as fast as she wiped them away? Perhaps the pile of bills and account books spread out on the desk before her could tell the tale of her woe. With pencil in one hand she was endeavoring to reduce chaos to order, while with the other she mop
 
 her lovely eyes. Yes, it was her house hold accounts which had brought her to this woeful state, and it was simply a repetition of previous experience, only this seemed worse muddle than usual. Those dreadful figures would not come out straight, and the thought of what Walter would say added to her grief.
 Ruth understood the direction of household for at home she had learn ed that and sufficient means enabled her to employ competent help No body could accuse her of being a poor housekeeper. But when it came to the bookkeeping, there she met her Water loo, and gave up in despair.
 At the beginning of their married intended to set aside for her use in the household affairs. A generous sum it was, too. far beyond what she con- sidered needful, but he laughingly told her 1t was no more than enough, but that he expected her to be able to ac- count for it's use, and he should audit the accounts once a month
 That dreadful time of showing Wal ter the books was fast approaching, and she could not make them come out as they should.
 T never can get them right" she sobbed, and Walter will be so dis turbed. He will not scold, but the books and finish them breaks my heart. He Is such a splendid ac- couptant himself ,he cannot realize how anyone can he SC stupid as I am over figures and I hate te disappeint him.

ErroR,s ADVICE.

Exception is being taken by Joseph Ettor to the published reports made of his speech to the striking walters in New York city Since coming into
 prominence in connection with the strike in Lawrence and his subsequent trial and acquittal Ettor has been more
 prominent than ever as an agitator devoting his time to it and evidently making his living therefrom. He was charged with melting the strikers to riot in Lawrence, but his advice in New York was that the walters, if they happened to lose their rfke, should return to work determined to make it the unsafest thing in the world for a capitalist to eat food pre-
 pared by a member of their union" Ettors objection to it was that the
 wrong construction was placed upon what he said. It was considered by the hotel men that his advice was to make the food dangerous for who- ever ate it. which seems a logical conclusion, but he meant to advise them to use sabotage. or spoil the food so that it would not be eatable
 In dealing with such 8 ticklish thing as a strike, wherein many tempera- ments are concerned, 1t is advisable to weigh ones words with the utmost care and use them not to inf1ame peo- pie already wrought up to cause more. trouble but say what is actually meant so that it will not be possible of double construction, and so that the hearers will not take the same construction that the hotel men did. It is impossible to believe that he would give any such advice as his words seemed to indicate but 1t Is always the best policy in whatever matter advice is being given to say just what is meant

 THE PARSON
Norwich bulletin., 1913-01-18

There are many folks who think they are recognized by the Lord, who don't know their poor relations, never mind how worthy they may be; but we notice as we peruse the scriptures that they can get no assurance that the Lord will know them, which seems to be of the most importance. They do not know that if they are to make an offering to the Lord which will be ac- ceptable in His sight. if they have aught against their brother (that means any man), they must first make their peace with him. There Is no winning favor with the Lord in any old way. for He has said: There is a day coming when many will cry Lord, Lord, and I shall know them not be- cause they have not ke~' the law" It is curious how some people appear to think there is virtue in ugiiHess of certain sorts. There isn't a rAeeHness under the suh that isn't condemned in scripture, and when we have annihilat- ed eur meannesses we shall be pre- pared to say: T am better than thou" But then such a license is denied to us.

There are many men who are pray ing for light who are not conscious of having received what they asked for. The first thing to do is to recognize that God helps only those who help themselves. When such a prayer is being made there is a conflict on, and the soul of the petitioner is in it. He must do something besides ask for light, for it is up to him to do all he can to dispel darkness. If he cannot drive the darkness out of his mind, how can divine light come in? Mans re- lation to his Heavenly Father is CO., operative-he is not invited to loaf around the throne and beg for favors with the expectation of getting thena. He is warned to make his mind re- captive to the truth, when the truth shall make him freei Know the truth" is the injunction which means seek it-work for it. Knowledge of every kind is power. but none of it is the fruit of indolence.
