CEMETERY TRUST FUNDS.

When Mayor Murphy suggests that some action be taken looking towards the establishment of funds which will af the city. he Is urging q step which should meet with ready response from all directions The care of cemetery property is one which cannot be too strongly advocated and 1t makes it's appeal to each and every one. The fact that Yantfc cemeaery had ceased. or practically ceased to be a producer from the sale of lots has been realized for several years. For many Of the lots provision has been made for care and 1t was through a recent admin istration that the trust funds for such purpose were etraightened out. That the lots thus provided for will be taken care of is assured, but it is the care of the entire cemetery which is sought. Many lots are cared for by relatives, but changes come and time removes those faithful to such duties, and plorabIe condition.
 There should be ready response to the plan for giving perpetual care and it is a most commendable idea. That a cemetery should be kept in first class condition, the grass moved and the stones in position is to be de- sired by all and especially those whose dear ones are buried therein. Nothing is as deploraBle as 8 neglected cern- etery and it should be easy to bring home this fact to those who have an interest therein,

What Are Bergson's Works?

Since writing of Henri Bergson I have been asked to tell what are his books. His Essay on the Immediate Gifts of the Consciousness demon- strates we are free, that our actions are original and bear the seal of our personality. In a second work, Mat ter and Memory he gives a new so- 1ution to the wor1d-o1d problem of the relation of spirit and body. Tn Gre atfve Evolution his greatest work, he establishes 8 new theory of the de- ve1opment of life. Bergson removes the terrible lassitude from modern thought, by addressing himself to the secret depths of the consciousness. and drawing us away from the abuse of reasoning.
 He declares man to be the crown of creation, that we are freed from iron necessity, that we continually leave the impress of our personality upon nature, and that we are capable of throwing down all things that resist and of overcoming all obstacles, per- haps even death itse1f.,'
 Bergson is the greatest ally of faith, of the spirit, because he Is not an ally, but disinterested,
 He brings powerful and timely aid to the work of Carlyle, Ruskin and Emerson, the work of Me, against all matter, force, logic and institutions
 He is a godsend to all of us who hate the Philistines.

THE ARMY cANTEEN.

The question Of the canteen in the
 army promises to come before con-
 gress for another contest and the eff fort for it's restoration received sub-
 stantiaI endorsement when Major
 General Leonard Wood recently spoke in it's favor This question is one which has its friends and enemies throughout the country. but it is the actual operation of the canteen or it's aboIishment which should determine legislation concerning it. Prominent army officials who have seen the oper- ations under both conditions believe that the canteen under the Testrfc- tions which existed fs far preferable to the dives and drinking places main tained just outside of the forts where the soldiers can get an unrestricted amount of all kinds Of liquor.
 At Fort Meyer raid upon club conducted by the soldiers outside the barrels of beer and many gallons of wIiskey It is this kind of influence which the eanteen is intended to over- come. It is a comm endab1e thing to educate the soldiers to overcome the drink habit, but if they are bound to have it. and many of them are, the canteen, which allows them only a certain quantity Of beer, and is main tained under the scrutiny of the au- thorisies Is certainly the lesser form of the habit. Whatever can be the fnf11ence against drinking fn the army a far better moral condition can be maintained through the established canteen than through the places which spring up outside the government grounds

HEAvY MOTOR rRucks.

With the growth in the automobile industry there has come the develop ment of the auto trucks which are proving of immense value in the trans portat1on of heavy loads and also large ones, doing much more easily in far less time what horse. drawn trucks made hard work of With this new development and the conditions sur rounding it, the necessity of reguIat- ing the motor trucks has become ap- parent for the protection of highways and bridges and the realization of 1t is emphasized by the highway conrnis- sion of Massachusetts who believe "that the law should limit the weight and speed of such vehicles .(heavy trucks) and the speed at which they may be moved over highways. The law should limit the kind, character and weight of the vehicle and the load. Already one bridge on the main line between Boston and FTtchburE has been practically destroyed by a six- ton truck which went over it. Officials in many towns are complaining that roads which they repair are innmed- lately destroyed by heavy motor trucks
 With trucks getting larger and f1eay- fer for the purpose of carrying heavier loads 1t is apparent that construction Work both in the road and bridge building line must undergo a revolu- don if they are going to resist the weights thus placed upon them. The regulation of the trucking business for the protection of good bridges and roads seems in the interest. of the towns which are already laying out large sums for maintaining good roads, and to which the reconstruc- ton does not appeal because of the expense. Rather than increase the burden of the towns to accommodate the big trucks 1t seems the proper policy to establish a limit for the trucks and not a few states are likely to take up this legislation.

PREVENTION PREFERABLE r
 CURE.

It is a most encouraging report which is made cencerning the result of the years work in health hygiene in New York, where the infant nor ta1ity was considerably reduced through the spreading abroad of in formation tending to the better care of the babies and the taking Of an ounce of prevention as preference to pound of cure. Concerning the progress in preventive medicine, The New York Herald says:
 sLast summer was, it. is true, much milder in it's heat conditions than the preceding year. but the lessened nor- ta7fIy rate was manifest1y due to bet ter hygiene, because the only one of the boroughs that did not show a de- crease in infant mortality was the rapidly growing Bronx, in which or ganization for social and especially in- fant welfare work has scarcely more than begun.
 "Dr. E1iot's prophetic view of still further hygienic Improvements that will bring happiness to mankind while decreasing suffering and putting off death is erninently justified by the def-- mite statistics of recent years. Phy- sicians are actually engaged, and with success in lessening the need for their own sservice." 5s
 There is certainly every reason to be elated over this demonstration of the result Of better care by parents and guardians for the protection of the lives of children. As this comes to be more and more realized the beneficial results are going to be more extensive and win be taken up in a larger field. Prevention of disease is far preferable to sickness and cures.

It demands service of the most faithful kind. regular attendance and thought fuI consideration of the proposed meas ures, upon which to base sound judg- Eent when the time for action comes.
 A time limit has been placed upon the legislature for the first time at this session and 1t should result in better and prompter service from the lawmakers. The farce of dragging out the session until after midsummer has been overworked. The new legislators aeed to realize that they must get down to business. give it the proper attention and carry out their obIiga- lions Procrastination never proves of any benefit to legisfation and vacant seats do not mean that representatives are doing their duty. Honest and ac- five representation is what every com a1unfty looks for and is entitled to and it would be much to the credit of the legislators of 1918 if they could establish record in that regard.
