o United Colonies
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TWO hundred and seventy
years ago was formed the
New England Confed-
eracy between Massachusetts,,
Plymouth. Connecticut and New
Haven-an association of very
great significance in our coun-
ty's history.
Scarcely had the New Eng
land colonies been planted when
it was found that there had to
be between them some sort of
united action. and in 1913 the
four colonies mentioned entered
into a league which they styled
The United Colonies of New
England or as it later on came
to be called The New England
Confederacy." At this time the
four little States contained thir-
ty-nine towns. and population
of $4,000. 1t may be said that
the Confederacy had a life of
forty-one years duration-from
1913 to 1884, during which time
it served many useful ends and
fully justified its being.
II is with the historical i'm
portance of the Confederacy,
however. that we are chiefly
concerned.
To begin with, il was the first
act of federation. and therefore
of concerted action, among the
American colonies, antedating

the Continental Congress one
hundred and thirty years, and
the Union of the Constitution a
hundred and sixteen years. Nor
was there any Misunderstanding
the spirit of that first confed-
eracy. They did not ask the
King to permit them to form the
confederacy. They went to work
and formed it of their own free
accord, thus virtually declaring
their ndependence-in local
matters, at least-of Great Bri-
tain and her Government, a very
strong hint that sooner or later
independence would be declared
all around the circle.
1t is quite likely that at the
time of the formation of the New
England Confederacy no one in
England or in the colonies
thought Of what was com
in in 1875, but We, living
long after the event. are able 10

things were brewing when the

Bv EBERT HUBBARD

TINE final proof of greatness
lies in being able to endure
contumely without resent
ment. For o-day there is a les
son in the letter of Lincoln to
Major General Hooker
Hooker had harshly and I'M
justly criticised Lincoln, his COM
mander- in chief, and he had en-
barrassed Burnside, his ranking
officer But Lincoln waived all
this in Difference to the virtues
that he believed Hooker possess
ed and promoted him to succeed
Burnside. Lincoln wrote:
Here is the letter:
Il must fear that the spirit you
have aided to infuse into the ar
my of criticising their com
mander and Withholding conf
dence from him, will now turn
upon you. l shall assist you as
far as | can to put it down.
But neither you nor Napoleon,
if he we're alive again, could get
any good out of an army while
such a spirit prevails in it. And
now beware of rashness; beware
of rashness, but with energy and
sleepless vigilance go forward and
give US victories

carping, srumbling and critics.
ing.
The man who is anybody and
who does anything is surely going
to be criticised, vilified and mis-
understood. This is part of the
penalty for greatness. and every
great man understands it-and
understands, too, that it is no
proof of greatness.
Not long ago l met Yale stu
dent home on vacation. | am
sure he did not represent the true
Yale spirit. for he was full of
criticism and bitterness toward
the institution. President Hadley
came in for his share, and I was
supplied items, facts. data, with
times and places, for Il peach of
a roast.
Very soon ] saw the trouble
was not with Yale: the trouble
was with the young man. He had
mentally dwelt on some trivial
Sights until he had got so out of
harmony with the institution that
he had lost the power to derive
any benefit for il. Yale is not a
perfect institutional fact, l sup
pose that President Hadley and
most Yale men are quite willing
to admit But Yale does supply
certain advantages. and it de-
ponds upon the students whether
they viii avail themselves of these
advantages or not.
If you are a student in 2 col
lege. seize upon the good that is
there. You get good by giving it,
You gain by living-so give sym
patty and cheerful loyalty to the
institution Be proud of it. Stand
by your teachers; they are doing
the best they can. If the place
is faulty, make it a better place
by an example of cheerfully doing
your work every day the best you
can. Mind your own business.

If the concern where you are
Old Man a curmudgeon, ii may
be we'll for you to go to the Old
Man and confidentially, quietly
and kindly tell him that he is
curmudgeon. Explain to him that
his policy is absurd and prepos-
ferrous. Then show him how to
reform his ways, and you might
offer to take charge of the con
Germ and cleanse it of its secret
faults.
Do this, or if for any reason you
should prefer not, then take your
choice of these: Get out, or get
in line. You have to do one or
the other-now make your choice.
If you work for man, in

If he pays you wages that sup

think well of him, stand by him
and stand by the institution ne
represents.
If put to the pinch, an ounce
of loyalty is worth a pound of
cleverness.
If you must vilify. condemn
and disparage, why resign your
position, and when you are out
side damn to your hearts content
But so long as you are a part of
an institution, do not condemn
it.
Everywhere you will find those
out-of-job fellows. Talk with
them and you will find that they
are full of railing, bitterness and
condemnation That was the
trouble-through a spirit of fault
finding they got themselves swung
around so they blocked the chan
mel, and had to be dynamited
They are out of harmony with tho
concern, and no longer being G
help they had to be removed
Every employer is constantly
looking for people who can help
him; naturally he is on the out
look among his employees for
those who do not help. and
everything and everybody that
is a hindrance has to go. This is
the law of trade-do not find
fault with it; it is founded on
Nature. The reward is only for
the man that helps. and in order
to help you must have sympathy
Hooker got his promotion even
in spite Of his failings; but the
chances are that your employer
does not have the love that Lin
coin had-the love that suffereth
long and its kind But even Lin
coin could not protect Hooker
forever. Hooker failed to do his
work, and Lincoln had to try
some one else. SO there came
time when Hooker was suped-
seeded by Silent Man, who crit
icised no one, rallied at nobody
not even the enemy.
And this Silent Man, who ruled
his own spirit, took the cities.
He minded his own business, and
did the work that no man ever
can do unless he gives absolute
loyalty, perfect confidence and
untiring devotion.
Let us mind our own business,
and work for self by working
for the good of all.

Will the Work Policies"
Bear Inspection, Doctor?

Washington, d. Con Tues
day next the voters of Colorado
must decide whether they want
their affairs managed by the men
who stand for Woodrow Wilson
and the policies he advocates or by
the men who have been put for
ward by the survivors of the old
standpat Republican machine, and
whose campaign has been financed
by the big interests of the state.
There is no escaping the issue!
In the campaign the Democratic
party stands for progress. The
Republican party stands for re-
turn to the men and the methods
which were repudiated by the
American people two years ago.
IHE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD
RECEIVE THE VOTES OF ALL DEMO-

Wilson. This is demonstrated by
the fact that many Republicans in
both houses voted for every feature
of the presidents legislative pro-
gram.
"THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD ETH
Err STOP CRITICISING Democrats
OR STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATIC
LAWS" was the way Congressman
Cline of Indiana put it.
The standpatter, the reactionary,
the man who wants Cannon back
in the speakers chair, Aldrich in
the senate and Taft in the White
House should vote the Republican
ticket in Colorado this year.
Speaker Champ Clark has stated
the case in paragraph, as follows:
abraham Lincoln said that it
is bad plan to swap horses in the
middle of the stream, a saying
which fits the present political case
like a glove. In 1912 the Ameri-
can people placed Democrats in
power because they were weary of
Republican policies and desired
trial of Democratic policies. We
are in the midst of an honest and
successful effort to enact Demo-
cratic policies into law, and we ask
the voters of the land not to cut us
off in midcareer by doing the un-
wise thing of swapping horses in
the middle of the political and leg

to the greatest Republican that
ever lived, one of the greatest of

have served with less distinction.
But all of them have, according to

They give promise of even greater
service to the country. They may
be trusted to carry out the public
will. Their reelection should not
come primarily as reward of
merit, but as mark of approval of
conscientious service to the voters

ELECT THESE MEN

La Follette's magazine, know n
everywhere as a broad-minded, in
dependent publication, edited by
the able Senator La Toilette, re-
Gently contained an article which
was devoted to the representatives
in congress who are deserving Of
reelection Nov. 3. The article, in
part, follows:
To-day there is abroad in the
land a new conception of public
duty. 1t is not party first but
country first A public servant is
coming to be judged by his record.
Voters are asking not what has
he done for the party?' but what
is he doing for us?'
There are today in the house of
representatives men who meet this
test of patriotism. Men who know
no masters but their own intelli-
gence and the public good. Men
who scorn the lobby, big and little.
Men who are careful to weigh
measures in the scales of the pub
lie interest. Men who refuse to
surrender their intelligence to any
machine. Such men should be
kept in congress.
"La Follette's presents here a
list of congressman who are seek

The general prediction of our
most prominent real estate and
business men is to the effect
that beginning with the coming
spring and continuing with ever
increasing volume st. Johns will
experience for the next three
years unprecedented prosperity.
This is not guess work or hot
air. Already significant signs
of the coming revival can be
plainly seen. Less vacant houses
and business buildings are offer
ed for rent than last Spring:
there are comparatively few idle
men ON the streets. and busi-
ness has been gradually picking
up all along the line. With the
opening of the San Francisco
Exposition will come the great
est flood of home seekers and
capitalists that the Western
coast has ever seen. Don't wor-
ny about st. Johns. Just stay
with it. that's all.
