Prayer Day Peace Hymn.

The federal council of churches and the church peace union have recon. mended that "The Peace Hymn by Rev. John Haynes Holmes, be sung ir all the churches of the United States on the occasion of the day of prayer fo1 peace, Sunday, October 4, designated in the proclamation of President Wilson. The hymn, which will be sung to the tune of "St. Agnes," by J. B. Dykes, follows:
 God of the nations, near and far,
 Ruler of all mankind, Bless Thou Thy people as they strive
 The paths of peace to find. The clash of arms still shakes the sky,
 King battles still with King, .. Wild through the frightened air of night
 The bloody tocsins ring. But clearer far the friendly speech
 Of scientists and seers, The wise debate of statesmen and
 The shout of pioneers. And stronger far the clasped hands
 Of labor's teeming throngs, Who in hundred tongues repeat
 Their common creeds and songs. O Father! from the curse of war
 We pray Thee give release, And speed, o speed the blessed day
 Of justice, love and peace!

Letters From the People
Sister Parsons Writes .

To the Editor of The News:
 You may be surprised when our Win. sted Teacher Lady Voter" resigned from taking the place of first commit tee on the school board. Yet, Mir. Editor, we women are no side show. We wish to vote the whole ticket or nothing; we don't wish to become a voter just for accommodation or to "help out" so to say. Nol No We are born American citizens; we are by right of birth voters. No one can give us the ballot. If it is of any use to our brother man, then it must be the same to women. Some one says that the dirty pool of politics is no place for woman to enter. We are very sorry that it is so impure a matter, but did woman ever enter place with good intentions without letting her influence help cleanse lt2 No, MT. Editor; woman is called helpmate for man; then she should have a chance to help make laws under which we all live. Woman is a taxpayer; it goes without saying that she should have a word to say, how she shall spend her money in regard to this matter. Woman is a home-maker; should not the mother have word to say about her children 2 Would not her influence be greater to walk arm in arm with her husband and sons and deposit ballot in her own name, and have right to say for her self who shall be our President, our Governor and Senator? Frances k. Willard said she and her brother were brought up in the home together, went to the same church and school, and when he was 2I he went to the polls and voted, helped put in who should be our rulers, etc. But she could never see how this could be, and she stayed at home, had nothing to say about it. No, MT. Editor, we women stay at home and cook the dinner whilst the men go to vote. .-.
 Some one asks, "Who will tend the baby whilst woman goes to vote ?" Reply, "As sure as the earth turned on its axis, the same as tended it when she went to pay her taxes. "
 Yours for Equal Suffrage,
 Winsted Conn. M. A. F.

jeopardized adjacent buildings, should be a source of pride and satisfaction to all our citizens, and nothing but praise is heard, of their skillful and effective manner of attacking the fire. No con- pany of seasoned veterans could have done better work.
 When the firemen rushed from their beds, dressing themselves on the way to the fire-houSe, the flames were shooting up in to the sky from the sides and roof of the north end of the hotel, and a few minutes later their progress was checked, the fire was under control, the flooding of the main part of the build ing prevented its spread, and general confagration was averted.
 This effective work involved not only vigorous effort but considerable per sonal risk, owing to the difficulties in the way of getting directly at the flames, to overcome which, a superior brand of generalship was required on the part of the foreman and assistants. duu h0INO O1oNOAJ oLA OAhO PdAO OA the rank and file. And these requi- sites were not lacking.
 Words of appreciation have been plentifully bestowed by our people. Acts of appreciation speak still louder; and the opportunity for proving this appreciation is presented in the present needs of the fire company. Its equip ment is inadequate for dealing with a fire of considerable proportions as effectually as might be desired. Its house equipment lacks various essen tials which should be provided. In short, the treasury is sorely in need of funds for putting the company into a condition of real efficiency and improv- ing it's capacity for doing it's best work. Just how proud are you, in dollars and cents ? .~. ..

Winsted has favorite sons in both parties and on both tickets-Glynn, republican, for Congress, and Middle brooks, democrat, for Sheriff. After the impressive Glynn demonstration, the other night, when 1000 marchers paraded, one enthusiastic patriot is reported to have said that the celebra- tion was nothing compared to what would happen election night. eff Glynn is elected" !" said he, ' we will parade. If Middlebrooks is elected, we will parade. If they are both elected the town will go wild with enthusi- asm.'' That's patriotic loyalty of the right sort.

Rev. J. Wellington Hoag, of New Haven, just returned from Europe after exciting experiences, some of which he saw and some of which he was, has vivid impressions of what war means, having seen shiploads of wounded soldiers brought home. He says the feeling in England for Ameri- cans is exceedingly friendly. In fact, they are so friendly toward us that they insist the United States should join them in their war against Germany and Austria. That is undoubtedly true. And could America ask for more convincing proof of British affection than this willingness to let US share her glory?

Gubernatorial Candidate Tingier's $ coming out'' may quite properly be credited to Canaan.

The Pittsfeld Eagle quotes this, from Abe Martin, and lets it go at that:

 The astonishing thing about it is that Joe Hollister, who is such stickler for accurate quotation, should have failed to correct Abe's bull, is using "wine" instead of ''liquor."

The New Haven Union asks: "What has become of the old-fashioned mar who used to inhale his coffee out of the saucer ?'' If the Unions interroga tory is intended to imply that he is extinct, or even rare, it doesn't keeI abreast of the Twentieth Century renaissance. He still takes his coffee, as we'll as his soup, audibly, and is nc nearer extinction than the old-fahioned sword-swallower, who loads up his table-knife with vittles and runs ii down his throat till it seems as if the point must be coming out through the back of his neck.

The call to leave the president alone applies, we take it, to the war petition. It does not apply to other matters of a strict political character. It makes a difference what kind of an OK is being gored. New Haven Journal Courier.
