drunk? And on this there is wide divergence of opinion. Some will con- tend, with the Willimantic culprit, that ii man can keep himself from staggering and falling down he isn't drunk; that drunkenness is condition of legs. Others will argue that if a man is able to talk straight, no matter if he cannot walk straight, he is sober. The subject is open to an infinite variety of questions. If man is half drunk can he be called sober? If he isn't fully sober, is he drunk? If a drunken mar can walk straight, is he drunker than drunk when he falls down? Which half of half-drunken man is sober? If man can walk a chalk-line, but can't say "aurora borealis, or "truly rural" and calls chrysanthe- nuns "k' santhrumS, how many more hookers of red-eye will it take to sober him up?

''EDITlN

The writer of the sentiments on ''editing newspaper, reprinted this week from the old Housatonic Republi- can of 1858, in the article, 'tGood Old News" enumerated qualities demanded in this day and generation, as well as in his own, or any other. Says that writer: A churlish temper could never succeed as an editor, nor narrow minded man, nor nasty one.'
 And that's true. Any outside med = dler can butt in and tell how to run a newspaper, especially country news paper; but the fact that he is a med dler and butter-in, would disqualify him for doing the job, himself, with any degree of comfort to himself The meddler always lacks tact, and if he were to approach the actual work in which he is so self sufficient as a cen- sor, he would find that he must keep sweet and serene under innumerable provocations to fly off the handle, stand up on his hind legs and rip and rear and tear. He must be so constituted that he can look pleasant when some body prods him under the fifth rib with false accusations of malicious discrimi- nation; and as a ducks back sheds water, so must his equanimity repel the slings and arrows of the wrathful and indignant citizen and citizeness who assume a grievance if they have it not, and who hesitate not to insinuate with an air of absolute know ledge that he wears somebody's collar, with tag, chain and paddock on it; that he dares not print what somebody forbids, nor leave. out what somebody desires print ed; that he is a lickspittler to social station and the influence of wealth; that he is narrow, prejudiced, ill-in- formed, and altogether a mighty small hill of little potatoes.
 If he can whistle as he goes, in spite of the snapping and snarling at his heels, foregoing the temptation to turn around once ill while to properly place vehement, swift kick where it would have salutary effect; refecting that somewhere there's sunshine all the time; that cherries are always ripe in their season, and that the time wasted in resentment and bad spirit is just that much time taken out of life, which is short enough any how, God knows-if he can do that, doing hls little best to keep on good terms with the greater part of mankind while keeping on good terms with himself and his conscience let m..hammer away.

Go tn Church.

Be workerl Talk up Go to Church l Get your neighbor to gol Go to church. Be worker ill the Go to Church cam paign. This go to church movement is a campaign more important than all the presidential campaigns. In presi- dential campaign you get worked up to high pitch of enthusiasm, exhorting and advancing arguments for your fav- orite candidate. Here is a chance for you to display your enthusiasm and argumentative powers. If you go to church your work is not finished. You can do great deal more.
 Get your neighbor to go. Talk up the go to church movement. There are many effective ways in which you can do this. Sandwich your talk about the baseball scores with a few remarks about the go to church movement. Make an occasional engagement for "after church Sundays" Now that the go ts church movement has had healthy start keep it moving. Don't let it die out. When ever an item in the newspapers on in- creased church attendance or the go to church movement strikes your eye call your uelSHDOT dbISublOu UO lU. OO UO church. Always be quick to rush to the defense of the church and church. going. There are always to be found in every community persons ever ready to make a joke of the church, church. goers and the church going mov ement. Go after these persons. Don't let them get away with it If you can't con- vince them that the church and church goers are all right make them cease their insults. There is too much fun poked at the church these days. Even the church-going man is tempted to join in the laugh which greets some cheap joker who attacks sacred things. Honor to the man who rebuffs the cheap wits. Secretly his fellows will admire him for it.

Letters From the People
The Visiting Nurse.

To the Editor of The News:
 I notice in your issue of May 14th an editorial on Visiting Nursing in which the writer of the letter says, "so far as am concerned, am ill favor of having district nurses employed and give what can toward it of my own free will, but if I attend the Town Meeting, May 21st and the matter of town appropriation comes up l shall feel obliged to vote. against it.. ,"
 May ask why we should not pro- vide every possible means for public health at public expense as we are already doing for public education? Several hundred cities and at least twelve states are supplying in whole or in part the salaries of public health nurses and are finding these expendi- lures to be profitable investment of their funds. Very truly yours,.

 Executive Secretary of the National Organization for Public Health Nurs- ing. ...

Editor George O. Woodruff, of the Litchfeld Enquirer retorts to the Hart ford Times's reference to his change of political faith, by citing the names of other converts, and concludes:
 Hence it would seem that the
 editor of the Enquirer had not only
 pretty good precedent for his
 change of political faith, but is in
 rather distinguished company, on
 both sides of the fence."
 Of course Georges reference to his company on both sides of the fence" alludes to his family connection with Brother Sunny Jim, who has not Topped. However George's state of mind recalls that of the indifferent in- dividual who "didn't care where he went when he died-he had friends i'll both places"
