In MenOriarn
NELSON d. JAYNES

The people are passing slowly, not joy
ously as on the day of rest they pass to
the house of God for worship. but slowly
and sadly, as when the heart beats faint
and slow at the falling OF life's sun, be
hind the distant hills of death. One is
gone. around whom the vine of affection
clngs. A friend dear to many of us, a
loving father is gone from home and
family, fond hopes have persisted, their
form is seen, the voice is heard no more.
Only in our imagination will thy tones be
heard, the heart has beat it's last life note,
deaths night has cast its shadows, Sweet
thought! In heaven there are no shadows.
No dying there.
He is gone but not forgotten
The one we loved so well.
Gone from world of toll and strife
To better world to dwell.
Always kind and true as friend.
Faithful and true as brother.
Ready a helping hand to lend.
And to share the grief of another.
Never saying to the world
That He was better than thou"
But meeting friend and neighor alike,
With kind and cheerful bow.
Such is the friend we mourn to-day,
The one whose life we admire;
He Obeyed the call we shall obey
Your work is we'll done, come up
higher"
Though it may be years of parting,
And we may grow old in the strife,
The memory of one so brave hearted
viii strengthen and guide through life.
With this memory and the knowledge
That what is our loss is his gain
We bow to the will OF our father,
Aud love him and trust him the same,
Thy smile and thy voice have been life's
dearest charm
To the hearts that thy love and protec-
ton have blest:
But thou leavest them here mid the
world and its harm,
And now all unmindful art taking thy
rest.
Oh sweet be thy slumbers! we must dry
each sad tear!
Ger the rest of the weary should NOR
tails repine?
More BETTING the hearts that would
mourn, is the fear
That the duties of life be not met as
we're thine.
When life is dark DER life's changing sea,
And iife's storms arise on the wave,
Thy memory shall be light
Both to cheer and to save. r.

THE FIREARMS EMBARGO.

The question of removing the em- bargo on the shipment of firearms to Mexico, which is being urged from certain quarters, is one which must be settled only after this country es- tablishes fixed policy concerning that republic. Such a course is being urged on the grounds that the Mexicans should settle their difficulties them selves and that-the granting of per mission to buy ammunition and fire arms here would be the quickest method of putting an end to the trou- ble- Justification of this is argued from the fact that it was the policy which was pursued. by the nations of Europe concerning the Balkan states.
 Permitting the rebels, or all the Mexicans to buy here would stimulate 8 good business in that line and would result in more fighting than is oc- curing at present in Mexico, but it Is certainly move which cannot be con- sidered until it is definitely known just what this country is going to do. It must be known first whether this country is limited to moral persuasion or whether 1t is prepared to inter vene. If as the last resort it is ready to send troops into Mexico, which it is declared would be met by the union of the federal and constitutional forces as a resentment of any such action we cannot afford to put firearms in the hands of those who are going to offer resistance to any such attempt to set matters at rights in that country. We certainly cannot afford to lift an em- aargo when such an act in a short time may prove boomerang. Our program must be carefully and wisely prepared

PARCEL POST SERVICE

Perhaps one of the best ideas of the value of the parcel post is to be gained from the importance which To- cal service attaches to 1t. That the government report for the first fif- teen days of October shows 1O1S2 packages handled by the local post ofdce is one of the best indications that the service is not only rapidly developing. but that it is serving the wants of the public. This showing at the end of ten months is a most en- couraging demonstration of the man ner in which the parcel post is cater ing to the quick and convenient hand ling Of packages. While much of this business was done under the old rate the change represents a saving to the public and the hearty response there from Tn taking advantage of such op- portunities indicates the general ap- preciation- What is true in Norwich and the territory covered by it's rural routes is true throughout the country. Parcel post has made an excellent be- ginning. All that has been promised has been fulfilled and additional ad- vantages granted.
 The service is still in its infancy and what has been developed in it's otleA history IS pound to snow mucn greater results as time goes on and the public becomes better acquainted with it's advantages. The growth is confined to no one section, but is gen eral- That it means much additional work for the postoffice is made evident but it already portends magnificent financial returns from which the re- ouirements for additional help can be met Parcel post is vindicating all that was claimed for it and it has but just been started. It's possibilities haven't as yet been fully realized.

PERSONALITY IN POLITICS.

Much satisfaction is being gained by the progressives in Massachusetts over the excellent run which was made by their candidate for governor, Charles $. Bird. Yet it must be real ized that his magnificent vote was se- cured upon the strength of his per sonality rather than upon the prin- ciples which he represented. MT. Bird got a handsome vote on his name. What he stood for was disregarded the same as if he had been elected and the ticket with him defeated. Had it been the issues which MT. Bird and the progressives of Massachusetts stood for which drew the vote, the rest of his ticket which must have stood for the same thing would have received the same support instead of falling hopelessly behind.
 In this connection the Waterbury American well says: Tt was Roose- welt who introduced personality into politics He was the issue, not the things he stood for, or the platform he stood on. Through him and his kind of campaigning, personality has become a paramount issue But per sonality cannot last this is the na- ture of things During the Civil war, for example, and the period just fol- lowing it, it was a commonly accept ed saying that a vote must be cast for an issue and not for a man. The trouble has been that there are no clearly defined issues before the vot- CTS today. Everything is in the melt ing pot. Probably in 8 year or two, when the tariff bill. the currency bill and other legislation have worked out their legitimate results, we shall get a new alignment in politics, an align- ment on important issues more than on personalities.

CHANGE FOR DEVELOPMENT.


 There are excellent chances for much good to result from the trip about New England which is being made by business men. The purpose of the visit is to get better acquainted with the commercial interests in the ambi- tious undertaking of developing both the city and the port of Boston. Such a trip is 8 recognition of the territory which must be drawn upon for that very development, and it calls atten- ton to the opportunity for coopera- tive action which ought not to be over looked. If the business men of Bos- ton see a chance for 8 greater in crease in trade through the encour- agement of the induStrial activities in New England, it is 8 matter which no city can afford to overlook.
 There are many directions in which New England cities should grow, and there is likewise vast opportunity for growth in the various branches, of agriculture fruit and cattle raising. Ii getting acquainted businesSWise Is call culated to show production and trade development to the advantage of all concerned, it should also open the avenue for the betterment of market ing conditions, the lack of which at the present time is responsible for a large amount of fruit and farm pro- ducts going to waste.
 As is anticipated, there is good req son to believe that through the com bined efforts of the commercial or ganizations much profit is to be gain ed for New England, and it remains for each community to strive for, its full share, through making the most of what is offered it through the new as well as the old outlets.

RITUAL MURDERv TRIAL.

The world can well shudder at the possibilities which may result from the outcome of the ritual murder trial at Kiev, Russia The Jews have not been accorded the most cordial reception in that country. There has long been resentment to their presence the refusal of passport privileges to citizen of this country because he was a Jew resulted in the abrogation of treaty relations which have never been readJusted. The anti-semitic sentiment in Russia has grown sthrough agita- ton both before and since this -8rial which is interesting the entire world The two frequent massacres of the Jews have displayed the smouldering sentiment which requires little to fan 1t into the commitment of the most horrible atrocities.
 In the BeilIss trial which has been hanging fire for two years the govern ment is endeavoring to prove that the Yushchinsky boy was killed in con- formity with the custom of the Jews that they might have Christian blood for the making of their passover bread IT is being heard by ignorant peasants and ms opportunity is being lost in Arousing sentiment against the Jews

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Craftsmen.

.Demetruis, the silversmith. with his fellow craftsmen, ran the Apostle Paul out of town because he inter ferred with the silver business in Ephesus.
 Then and there the great popular song was composed, Our Craft Is in Danger" with the heart throb at tached, Great Is Diana of the Ephes- ians."
 One of the most interesting things in modern life is to note how few persons banded by gain can defeat plans for the welfare of the whole people.
 Who fought the pure food law of the national government that sought to protect the health of all? The mil lion dollar poisoners. Their craft was in danger.
 Who prevents city health authori- ties from driving decayed meats. de- vitalized bread, dirty milk, poison soda water drinks and glue-and- coal tar candy out of the public markets? You know them. Their craft is in danger.
 Who fights every ordinance de- signed to render safer theaters and movie houses? They whose craft is in danger.
 Who resists every effort to put the government of cities on a business basis. and to eliminate the curse of
  grafters whose craft is in danger.
 Why are American railways more murderous than those of any other country. and persist in taking chances with fraiI coaches, defective safety devices and poor roadbeds! Their craft is in danger.
 Why do bankers fight all proposi- tions by the city to raise funds by popular subscriptions instead Of through the money trust? Their craft is in danger.
 The danger of selling alcoholic Hq- uors in public places has been proved over and over; the systems is produc-- tive of disease. crime, madness, and no good. Yet the sale of whiskey is on the increase. But-our craft Is in danger.
 Ephesus has nothing on us. Our cities are also run by Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen.
 And great is personal liberty!
