IMMIGRArloN GROWING.

The question of immigration is al ways an important one to the nation and it is being made an issue in Ihe gubernatorial fight in the state of Massachusetts because of its effect upon the labor market and wages.
 Complete figures just made public by the immigration authorities for the past fiscal year show that at no time in the countrys history has a greateH number of immigrants come to these shores than in that period between July l, 1912 and June 30, 1913, bar ring the year 1907. There have been five years since 1905 that the immigra- tfon figures have gone over the mill lion mark. The high mark was in 1907 when 1,2S5, ,349 came here from other countries and last year there were l. 197,892.
 The total number of immigrants reaching this country since 1920 is nearly thirty-one million, or practically a third of the present total population of the United States. Of the immense migration for the past year there were but thirteen and @ half thousand pro- fessionaI people and only 160, GOO were ranked as skilled laborers. How much effect the immigrant has upon the la bor market is shown by the fact that nearly three quarters of d million were unskilled people, to whom the attrac- tions and opportunities in this coun7 try make a strong appeal. Immigra- ton has been underway for a long time, but it continues to make healthy showing.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

The constantly increasing number of grade crossing accidents wherein the responsibility lies as much upon the users of the highway as upon the railroad, calls for the elimination of these danger points as rapidly as pos sible- II Is the abolishment of such unprotected places which is going to solve the matter most satisfactorily Those who have yielded to the lure of speed have found 1t a costly proposi- ion to undertake to race with an engine to a crossing. There is a dis position to underestimate the danger even with vehicles which are being slowly driven, so that the necessary 0-ecautiOn is often neglected but neg lgence and danger are ramoved by the necessary construction work which will make one road pass over the other
 The matter of grade crossing elim- nation is one of immense importance not only 10 every community, but to the railroads and recognition of it is indicated by the efforts which are made tc overcome the menace. It is an undertaking which is of immense proportions and must be accomplished gradually, with the elimination of the worst ones first. Mayor Murphy calls attention to one which is in a dan Eerous location at Eighth street before it is singled out through the loss of life there. It is the changes which can be made at these places in antici- patton Of trouble which accomplish the most od since it is prevention that is aimed al as well as insurance.

ADVANCING AviATieN:

Those are hair raising stunts which Pegeud the French aviator has heen doing and his second exhibition gives strength to his argument that they are net the reckless deings of a 6are- devil, but a demonstration of the fact that he is in full control of his ma chine, and that his theory of operation gives greater assurance te operators that they can take care of themselves in the air as long as their engine con- tinues te work
 Every advance in aviation is to be appreciated, It required an unusual amount of nerve and courage for Pe goud to put his scheme into operation and its value lies in whatever use can be made of it in case of an emer gency. The danger from it lies in the fact that it offers the latest thing in the line of 8 thriller for exhibition purposes and a new means fer aviation suicide.
 What is needed in the progress being made with the flying machine is the assurance of 2 greater amount of safety in the operation of the air ships under ordinary conditions. There needs to be means devised whereby the operator can exert 8 greater con trol over the power of the machine to stay in the air. This seems to be the great problem in aviation which has not been successfully overcome. Unless the machines with their deli cate engines continue to work to per lection the lives of the operators hang in the balance.

TAKING A NEW VIEW

It was only a few months ago tha3 the democrats in congress, who pos sessed sufficient strength to be em barrassing were opposed to strength ening the navy and making changes in the army in accordance with the sug pestions of the administration. They opposed the necessary appropriations for such additions strenuously and blocked the construction of more yes sels, only to use the money for pork barrel' distribution.
 They looked through partisan eyes at that time and no argument what ever could stir them from their ike position. It was even with much diff 1culty that compromise was effect ed and any naval vessel appropriation bill secured The change in contro: since then has only served to substan- tiate the partisan action. for Secre taries Daniels and Garrison are now urging the strengthening of the navy and the army. They have not required much time to determine that the posi- ton of the republicans was right, and while it is compliment to the republi- can policy. it is a regrettab1e fact that partisanship should be allowed to so stand in the way of national needs. That there has been found a lack of preparedness should trouble arise can- not be laid at the door of the republi- cans. It is but natural therefore that the democratic heads of those same de- partments feel anxious ts overcome the party's poor judgment and to urge it to see through the glasses of neces- sity instead of pursuing the blind paths of partisanship,

De not sit on the veranda in the night air, Eallie you might add to your eeld, child, and be ill" was Mrs: Winthree's last injunction te her ef= phan niece as she jeined her daHgh= ter Mabel whe was iInpatieatly walt Ing fer her.
 ''pe hurry, mether,we shall be the last ones at the feeeptieni" exclaimed Ma bel.
 The reception was to welcome home Andrew Hamilton, one of RockhaVen's boys and a former resident, who with his wife and son Reginald. had just returned from abroad.
 "Hillcrest," the summer home of the Hamiltons, had been closed during their absence and the villagers were glad to have the place opened once more. MT. Hamilton had presented to the town a large flag which was to be raised on the morrow, accompanied by appropriate exercises for the eel ebration of the Fourth"
 Sallie was disappointed at not being able to attend the reception, and 1t must be confessed she thought more about the son Reginald than the fath- CT.
 T am not a bit ill, and Aunt Emma wouldn't have thought of such thing if Mabel hadn't suggested it, just De- cause 1 have a slight cold.
 Rebellious tears started to her eyes but she dashed them away hastily, as she scoIded herself.
 "Sallie Winthrop, are you going to be a baby and cry? Can't you have 8 good time at home? What if you haven't seen Reginald Hamilton for five years If he wants to see you he knows where to find you. Maybe he has forgotten all about you during his studies and literary success. Perhaps the Little Mischief with golden hair the heroine fo the story that has been so successful, is a real person and his ideal Five years is a long time; 1 wonder" but she tossed her head and strove to drive all thoughts of the Hamiltons from her mind.
 If I can persuade Jane we'll have a party of our own at home" she thought, make believe, as we used to years ago."
 The dimples came and went as she thought of coaxinE Jane.
 She passed quickly toward the kitch- en, where she found Jane reading,
 "Is it very interesting" 7" asked Sa1- lie, as she glanced at the book.
 Not very, but it helps pass the time" replied Jane, Then help me have make believe" party" ceaxed Sallie. We can have hot chocolate, cake and cheese ana you can be company and dress in gray silk''
 What are yeu talking about; haven't any gray silk,
 No, but l found a lovely one iR trunk up in the attic. It will fit you, I know. Come, Jane, don't refuse. It's going to be lonesome unless we do something"
 Sc Jane consented and seeH the gray silk. enYeloped in a large kitchen apron, rustled around getting the party refreshments, while SalIe repaired to her room te dress. She soon returned "A vision iin pink" as Jane told her.
 But" remonstrated Sallie, It's only nay old dotted muslin dressed up with pink sash and leave"
 Its very becoming, anyway" and i Jane smiled at the freiiscome girl.

which is possibly greater compli- ment.
 In a speech the other day he de. clared that. though graduate or Harvard. he was forced to say that all he had learned in school has been al- most worthless to him in the struggle for life The trouble with the com mon school system" he proceeded to say, lis that it is designed for the benefit of the few. Talk about spe- cial privilege! The whole machine IS geared to the limited number who in- tend to go to college
 MT. Holmes has put his finger squarely upon the weak spot in mod ern education.
 Our public schools lie under the dead hand of the past. The fundamental spirit of them is wrong.
 Time was when schools were only mills to grind out scholars" The great mass of the people were not supposed to have any interest in them. Boys were sent to school to become preachers, physicians lawyers or scriveners of one sort or another. The idea that the blacksmith, mechanic, farmer, merchant or sailor needed an education was preposterous.
 That notion still subtly grips us. It is an aristocratic, class theory carried over into a democracy.
 The only theory of a public school for which a democracy has any nor tai use is that children are to be train

SELECTING JUDGES.

With a view to strengthening the judiciary. it was a strong argument which former President Taft made to the American Bar association when he advocated the appointment rather than the election of judges. Such a course is for the purpose of giving the judiciary a greater independe through the elimination of the in 7uence which is liable to be asso- ciated with the official who has to depend upon political favor. and get ting the needed qualifications which are required in the administra ton of justice.
 Ex-President Taft has had wide ex- perienCe in the matter of making iu- dlcisl appointments and says in con demna ton of the plan of electing judges that they are necessarily pu. in the attitude 1of applicants befor the people for preferment to judicial places. Under the convention svs tenn fl happened not infrequently. tha- men who were not candidates were nominated for the bench, but now in no ca6e can the office seek the man. Nothing could more impair the qual- fly of the lawyers available as can didates or deprecate the standard of the judiciary" It was the conclusion of Prof Taft that following his wide experience in Investigating state judges as candidates for judicial ap- pointment in the federal courts that nomination by direct primary has dis tinctly injured the character of the bench for learning, courage and abil- ity."
 The need of operating the courts Of the country free from politics is apparent and nothing counts like the recognition of fitness, in preference to political favor when the upholding of the law is concerned.

WHEN THE STARS AND STRIPES uNFuRLED

How we'll she remembered when Sallie, wee mite of three years, came te live with her Uncle John Winthrop.
 II was only twenty-three then" she she thought of the passing years.
 'Cemes called eallie from the sitting room. "The table is arranged; one plate Is fer our guest, who hasn t arrived" explained Sallie.
 We can't have a party without a gentleman in it, somewhere, so we'll invite Tommy, the eat. and call him Sir Thomas. and you can be Lady Jane"
 And .you," queried Jane. will be Lady Bountiful2'
 "Oh. no; I'll just be-"
 But a peal of the doorbell stopped her, and Jane hastened to open the door.
 Who can it be? I wonder if"
 She heard a cheery voice greeting Jane and flush swept up to her hair, then left her white again, for it was Reginald's voice and he had called, after all
 Just then young man entered with outstretched hands.
 "Ah, Sa1lie! The years have passed, at last and am glad to be home again, but" glancing at her d--ss. were you going out?"
 "Oh. no. we were having a party. Jane and I and Sir Thomas she add ed demurely. AS Sir Thomas has disappointed us will you kindly take
 Certainly /" he replied. but with a sinking heart inquired, Who is Sir
 Tommy, the cat. replied sallie. feeling rather childish and Jane was Lady Jane. It's our old game of Make Believe"
 8Oh. I see" said Reginald, feeling relieved, and who are you?'
 T am, Ohl! 1 didn't name myself" :" If you will allow me. l will tell you your name; it is Little Miss Mis- chief"
 Oh" exclaimed sallie with gasp, but I haven't glorious brown eyes and golden hair ReginaIdi Have l, Jane ?'
 but Jane had quietly slipped away and her nurmured excuse had been unheard,
 ''sallie you were the inspiration of that story. Don't you realize yet what you mean te me?'
 Then the conversation was eentln- ued in low tone and ended to their mutual satisfaction, as was manifest by & flashing stone on Sallie's engage ment finger.
 Reginald and Sailie mingled with the crowd before the Town Hall the following day, meeting many friends and enjoying the speeches.
 Do you know, Sallie the motto, One God, One Country, One Flag means more than ever to me after being in foreign lands" He paused, then add ed:
 Almost the same as "one 1ove-till death do us part and steadfast eyes of gray looked down into trusting ones of brown as they faced the vista of years,
 Over their heads the Stars and Stripes fioated out in the July breeze while the strains of the Star Spangled Banner inclined all hearts to patriot l ism-Boston Record.

 No argument is needed for Peruna Just get a bottle and try it. If you have catarrh of the stomach you have a serious trouble, If you want to find a remedy it would be very easy to make the experiment Before you have taken Peruna week you will likely find yourself better, then you will need no testimonials oH the part of other people, or arguments to con vince you. Until you try Peruna however, all the testimonials in the world and arguments, however log ical, will not move you. Just one trial of Peruna will convince you.

LETTERS THE EDITOR.
In Foriorn Hope Party.

Mr. Editor: In your issue of Aug. 23 I read an account of the forlorn hope party of Port Hudson in which it is stated that Orrin M. Price is the only Norwich man still living. If he means still living in Norwich, he may be correct; otherwise not-I am still here Not as light on my feet as when The Bulletin was first established and I was it's newsboy through Yantic and Bean Hill as far as the lanyard, but am still here, and still read my Bull letin as I read the first number with out glasses.
 am also on hand to dispute the claim of Eugene $. Nash that he was the first to volunteer from Company F in the forlorn hope at Port Hudson, claim only sustained by his assertion, which would not be accepted by the officials at Washington. though given under oath, and is disproved by the official records.
 Very truly yours,
