He likened it to distributing the water power of the Pequabuck river to everyone in town who might want it. Some mills are operated by the river power but If that force was dis tributed in manner that some people might suggest. it is possible thtat there might be enough water to sprinkle the streets, but that's all.
 ITO feed and clothe the people of the world, it is necessary that men work eleven hours a day. Some people don't do that and as a result the others are working overtime. consequently a certain percentage is always dragging the rest of the world after them.'
 Industries in Schools.
 MT. Norton made a plea for the in- troduction in schools of industrial sub- jects. He said he has respect for the man who knows what has been done and who did it, but he loves the man who knows what has to be done and does it. He argued that it may be policy to teach boys what has been done, if there is time, but first teach them what has to be done and how to do 1t. At present boys leave school without the faintest conception of work or in- dustries, although their teachers think they are fully equipped for business life. The boys should be given in- structions in the making of brass and other metals and should have a know ledge of industries. There are too many of them looking for positions. where jobs would serve them better" MT. Norton said. "Tteach them that it not respectable to live unless they have a bank account no matter how small 1t may be-" The speaker closed by asking the diners to give credit to the captains of industry for what they are doing. He declared they are not seeking laurels Or bouquets and If they succeed in helping the world they are satisfied.

Man Has Conquered All
 But Himself-Buckley

"Cosmic Forces" the subject as-
 signed to Rev. Frederick D. Buckley
 of Waterbury was treated in masterly
 fashion Contrasting with the address
 of MT. Norton, it was a strong appeal to the more human side of man for
 the strengthening of the moral fibre and the building of character. It was
 q scholarly talk and held the audi ence in rapt attention. The speaker
 punctuated his remarks with a mum
 Der of witty stories and ne caused many laughs during the time allotted to him. MT. Buckley is a man or large physique and a commanding presence and his personality radiated to his auditors and kept them in his grasp.
 We are living in an age of ser iousness, made serious by the nature of the problems which confront us" MT. Buckley said in the beginning. He recited the story of mans prog ress and emphasized the fact that man is the only member of the whole ani- mai family whose brow is built to wear a diadem and who possesses the hand that can grasp the sceptre of power He continued with a de- scription of mans conquest and his great success in his dominion. declar- ing that it is so complete that should man sweep away all his inventions he would leave the world as poor as q beggar's garrett
 With this wonderful record a con- fession nevertheless is necessary. Man has not conquered himself. The hu- man heart is still so full of inordinate ambitions that we are ar ready to shove the weaker things to the wall as did out forefathers a thousand years ago. Wealth has accumulated and with this accumulation comes q gigantic responsibility. Wealth is conscious of this fact and never be- fore has it done for man what it is doing today.
 Can't Equalizc Wealth.
 The speaker admitted that it is im- possible 10 equaIize wealth. If two men ride a horse, one must sit be- hind the other. The same with wealth. There has always been great social misery in this world and prob ably always will be. The vital ques- ton then is how to make equitable ! of the combined earnings of capital and labor without disturb Ing American institutions. MT. Buck ley thought that evolution rather than revolution is necessary.
 e The speaker denied that the poor man is looking for charity. It is justice he wants. Give him a square chance. Let him feel that while he tolls the man who employs him is going to allow him wages enough to give his children something a little hetter than he had himself
 The clergyman did not concede any l difficulty in understanding why | the huge mills of today. It is fin .hese plants that men lose their i'm Iividuality and they crave for chance o do something themselves. lie

"UncIe Jesse"

Once more, God, in His infinite
wisdom, has called one of his
saints to rest.
Uncle Jesse Wilson, a man Of
many years, bent with toll and
care, left this world on July 30, to
join that invisible choir around
the throne Of God. We call him
uncle" because we loved him
and because he loved us. He was
truly a father in his home, ever
ready to give such as he had to
his children. With his neighbors
he was always ready to divide and
do with a cheerful heart anything
that might add to their comfort
and happiness. To the weak and
afflicted he was a good Samaritan"
in his community, be was christ
ian, with the sweet assurance Of
his final resting place in heaven.
We are grieved and mourn his
death.
Uncle Jesse had his faults as
other men, yet he was ever kind
and good to his fellowman, to his
home and to US all. Oh, how we
will miss him! Just one less
at homel The charmed circle Of
home broken, the sweet communion
with father forever hushed; a dear
face will be missed day by day
from its accustomed place, one
voice of welcome to his children
and friends, once so cheerful, will
speak no more, only through |
the undying past. Uncle Jesse,
through this life, has nobly born
his part and is now wearing
victory's golden crown which is
reserved for every faithful heart.
With him toll and strife are
over, his lobors have ended, for
now he dwells with Him in
eternal peace.
Uncle Jesse in his dying hour
gave up this life as common man
to be put in Gods acre, untitled,
dumb and deedless, yet be is
TRANSPORTED by a touch from out
the skies and now wears, with all
unconscious grace, the strange
and sudden dignity Of death. H.

The splendid piece of road work
done by those two elderly gentle.
men, Uncles Dick Jackson and
Noah Garrett, ought to be an in
spiration to all men and cause
them to determine to excel (which
would be impossible) this stretch
Of road leading from King Webb's
corner out to the Bragg home. We
know Of no piece Of road anywhere
that measures up to this, and the
Enterprise tips its hat to Messrs.
Jackson and Garrett.
Mr.. Hacey Rawls, one Of our
clever young merchants, spent
Sunday in the "old neighborhood"
with relatives. Hacey reports
that the enterprising, progressive
citizens residing along the Jewell
road from the Palmersville road
have put that road in ship-shape,
making it better for travel than he
ever saw it during the forty-odd
years he has been going over it.
All over the country there seems
to be disposition upon the part
Of nearly all people to put the
roads in decent shape. They
ought to be encouraged. Our
county court ought to encourage
this spirit by providing machinery
and tools, and, where Necessary to
reduce hills and grades, dynamite
should be provided; lumber for
culverts, or other material, ought
to be placed at the disposal Of these
citizens who are giving so much
OF their time and attention to
lettering road conditions all over
this county. Other county courts
are doing this-in fact, all Of them
except Weakley.
ESQ. Harry Butts says the last
issue Of the Enterprise was an
entire failure; that it was sad
Disappointment to him and that if
it occurs again he will have his
paper discontinued and let it be
sent in his wife's name. He says
he read every line in it, from the
head rule on the top of the first
page to the last foot-slug on the
last page, and nary a word did he
find about the split-log drag, the
first time, he says, such a thing
has occurred in the past five years.
We promise not to do it any more,
Harry, if you'll forgive US this
time. Fact is, we were busy last
week helping Judge Jones and
Will House and Tom Morris run
,he court-and, also, working out
some plans for the north and
south highway, and just fer the
lime being forgot all about the
iplit-log drag. But while talking
tbout the drag, let US say that
here will never be a more op-
Fortune time to use the drag than
light now following these nice
hoWers.
