NEW ENGLAND APPLEs.

Agitation and display are always valuable features in stimulating an interest and enthusiasm in most any Suh1ecE- They are the first steps for the creation of a desire to emulate II is through showing what ought to be done and what can be done that any undertaking is pushed forward 10 greater development Such is the aim and purpose of the New England apple exhibition just concluded in Bos- ton It is a most valuable aid to the growing of apples in New England states because of the inspiration which is offered through results
 That the New England orchard is a thing of the past is Sconclusively re- futed There exists the opportunity for most profitable returns if the re- quired care and attention are given thereto Connecticut or New England fruit Is far preferable to that which is brought from the western slopes and there is to be found a market for all that can be raised
 While the display may represent as if does the success of those who have made g business of apple growing it most certainly indicates that they have followed the proper methods for the securing of success. Their ideas arP therefore those which should be followed for gaining like results and what has been accomplished in this day and generation can be repeated. ThEre still remains g gold mine in the old New England orchard It is not to be realized through negligence, but Is to be obtained through catering to the requirements and following the mgdRIn methods of culture

AS IF SHOULD RE

The adjustment of the trouble exist ing between the Southern Pacific rail road and its employees, or the aceept- anne of terms which will lead to such is another instance where the merits of a peaceful settlement of differences have been recognized It means tbalt consideration has been given to the larger interests which are at stake in aIl such affairs which concern pub~ lie utilities The tying up of the road and the disconfinuance of practically all business not only had its effect upon the travelling public, but it de- rnoralized business in that part of the country and meant an untold loss for business men who were in no way as socaa1Rd with either party to the strike.
 The federal board of mediation and cancellation have gained an important victory, and every such adjustment only brings out more prominently the valuable service which it offers and which ii is able to render Each set tement of this kind simply brings nearer the time when such corpora uons and their employees will imme- diate1y resort to it's services when cnntrov ersies arise Such is as it was intended and should be- What is wanted is the fajrest adjustment which can be secured, and that is not obtain able through violence or the forcing of the public to shoulder the greatest loss The recognition of this fact and the resort to the proper adjustment of the troubles is the only thing, outside of compu1siun, which will make such a hazardous issue as a railroad strike impossible

What About Piew?

MT Editor: While I glory in the spunk of the women of Connecticut who are banding themselves together to save (if possible) the life of Bes- sic Wakefield, what about Piew?
 Mrs. Wakefield is just as guilty as Plew, and P1ew has the same rights as Mrs. Wakefield The sex part of the controversy is all wrong. It is all unreasonable. Even the advocates of woman suffrage who are in the lead In the fight for the life of Bessie Wake field, appear to lose sight of the fact that if woman is to stand on polit- she should) she must also be willing same crime.
 It may turn out that Bessie Wake field will die a martyr to a law of the dark ages that still exists in Con- nectfcut. Bessie Waket!eld's legal death may be the last strain on the already fast weakening chain that yokes our state to the darker ages and their in human punishments,
 Life that we cannot give, we have no right to take Time and time again in different states and countries some new evidence has shown up just in time to save us from becoming legal murderers.
 We have six states in this union of ours that do not take life. Maine on the extreme east had more murders committed within her borders in the last five years of hanging than any twenty successive years since in spite of increased population,

MONEY vs. UNITY.

What a part money can play and does play in political campaigns is we'll illustrated in Massachusetts where the candidate whose campaign cost him the least was successful and the. one who spent the most ran sec ond Governor elect Walsh spent $1,539- C. s. Bird spent $30.2S3- Con gressman Gardner's expenses for the election campaign reached $16,5 while Governor Foss spent 0,521- These figures do not include the nom ination campaign where A. P. Gard ner because he had strenuous oppo- sition spent $17,977-
 These figures are interesting from the fact that Massachusetts was sup posed to be operating under the sys- tenn which would reduce the cost of politics and running for office. Such hardly seems to bear out the state- ment. The statewide primary does not overcome the pouring in of barrels of money to secure the nomination, when ever there is sufficient opposition and it is conclusively shown that the in fiuence of money Is uncertain where there is a split in the opposition. MT. Bird had the personality and the money and yet he was not successful. MT Gardner operated separately from the party organization and yet he ran many thousand votes behind the rest of his ticket Tn the light of its cost the effort of Governor Foss becomes joke.
 The situation is one which calls as plainly as it could for the amalgama- tion of the majority ranks It is not the pouring in of money which is go- ing to make the contest of ballots sue cessful but the standing together in behalf of principles which are sane, safe and sensible

THE CHIEF ATTRACTION

 T don't see how she did 1t. wanted to see her get on the car, but, of course she had an automobile with & low step and missed 1t. My sister says they sit down and roll over and over when they go downstairs, but of course, she is always making jokes"
 T wish l knew where she got 1t in Paris, l have a cousin who is going over soon and she wants addresses. Was Miss Tibbits there?"
 T should think she was She came 8 little late, of course. and she had reason for 1t, My dear. her dress was light blue silk. one of these new kinds that simmer, you know. We'll, her hat and her slippers and all were the same color and the pIumes she wore stood up perfectly straight and then hooped over perfectly lovely, with pieces cut out here and there. My eaten and she was going home to get some she threw into the waste paper basket to put on her new hat.
 She didn't like many of the hats we saw, she's so conservative. She said they make most of the women look like Fiji islanders sitting under bam- boo trees. When you come to think of it they do look little like cocoanut trees, the way they clip them Doy you know Mrs Rugg?
 Indeed, l dol" Was she there"
 She surely was. My goodness, wish you could have seen that red dress she wore It was so tight I don't see how she could sit down and it had three little wigly trains at the back the most stylish thing I ever saw. Positively that woman puts everybody in the shade when she dresses up. She was just screamingly fashionable and no mistake. But she was just as kind! Why, she spoke very nicely to half a dozen of the quiet people and I would n't have thought 1t of her. There are always a few of the old fashioned sort that come in cotton crepe or in suits you know, to a thing like that and they must feel kind of ont of it and sorry they came without any bodys adding to it by snubbing them, even if it does take courage to single out the plain folks. My sister said they prob ably came to hear the man who ad- dressed them, instead of the woman who dressed

SAFETY AT SEA

II anything was required following the Titanic disaster to give emphasis to the need of providing greater safe ty al sea- it has been furnished by the series of disasters through fire which has occurred within the past few months The conference of twelve nations which is in session in Eng land for the consideration and ado1- ton of new international regulation which will be uniform is thus furnish ed with fresh evidence of the urgency of reform in the matters which they are considering, through the insuffi- cient protection which now exists.
 Each country has given much thought in advance for the overcorn- ing of the apparent weak points in transatlantic travel The considera- ton of these in general conference should result in the perEectfng of a code which will come into universal use because it will be founded upon and result from experiences which de- mand just such action, G1arfnsIy set forth has been the need for wireless equipment, the making of the service available at all hours the necessity for proper life saving appliances, wa ter tight compartments, full conDle- ment of 1ifehoa1s and adequate pro- vision for fire protection.

 Last, but not least, is little thickly populated Rhode Island. This little neighbor of OUTS abolished killing hu- man beings after a mistake had been made, and according to the population Rhode Island has fewer murders than any other state in the union. These facts go far to prove that hanging does no good, but it does do harm
 To begin with the personnel of our courts are lowered just the moment a prospective juryman is asked Do you approve of capital punishment ?''
 Man after man is set aside whose very intelligent appearance tells you would make a high class juror, while little or no interest in anyone but him. self is accepted. I don't mean to convey the idea that the lower grade juror is always selected, but I do claim and everyone knows it. that some of our best men, men who should be selected to serve on jury, are passed every time if a. murder case is in prospect, because they do not believe in taking human life There are other reasons upon reasons why the whole system of legal murder is is a step towards advancing our state to civilized ideas. then it can be truly said God works in a, mysterious way His wonders to perform.

LEARNING BY INVESTIGATING.

A factor, in the granting of inde- pendence to the Philippines, to which little thought may have been given IS indicated by the demand of the Moros for an American, not a Philippine Rovernor Such a declaration indi- cates not only the tribal antagonism which is still to be found in the islands to a marked extent. but 1t shows where one of the important objections to in- dependence lies While much has been done for the education of the island people 8 great deal more remains to be done and until that Is accomplished and they are in a position to consider the welfare of all instead of the tribal interests alone there win be grave danger in attempting to leave them to their own guidance. The knowledge of the existence of such conditions as well as of the unpreparednesS in gen. eral for taking up the reins of self government, forms the basis for the opposition which is manifested to the democratic policy of independence within a few years, Those who have become familiar with the situation in the islands recognize the magnificent improvement which has heen accom- plished under American control, but they likewise understand equally well the drawbacks which still exist.
 The experience and investigations of those who are close to the administra- ton are bound to bear out the claims of those who preceded them that there are sufficient and well founded objec- tions to the casting off of the islands. A duty still exists there which must be properly discharged, and with knowledge of the speed in education it is readily understood that it will not only require proper time, but that independence, dependent thereon, can- not be fixed for any certain date. It is evidently a period for learning for the democrats.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
ATTACK.

We all know people whose defenses are just strong enough to withstand
 the average attack, and nothing more than an average attack ever tries them Their honor is not gravely tempted, and they remain honest. They are not driven by passion into breaches of the moral law They feel no temptation to be specially cruel or unjust: their ideal of truthfulness is not tested by some sudden extremity which seems to offer no outlet but a lie. Circumstances are easy with them: their task is never greater than their ability. That ability may not be

much. but it suffices.
 Yet we cannot say that they are really safe; if a moment of greater trial came it would overwhelm them; if they were rudely shaken they would fall. The only true security is to have the defenses so high that not only the average tide is resisted. but the ex- ceptional also is driven back. We ought not to be content with that which will just meet the average need of our lives; we ought to desire a. higher measure of safety. We should have a reserve to face the rare mom- ent that may come, and that may come when least expected. Our equipment should be a little beyond our daily needs; there ought to be margain.
