Satisfying Public Demands.
(Norwich Bulletin. )

Whenever there is a needless sac rifice of life which often occurs when a daring individual attempts hair raising stunt for the sake of enter taining a crowd, it is usually accom- panied by an appeal for the abollshs n2ent of such recklessness. This is what is being heard following the death of Elmer Olson, the balloonist who was killed following high fall when the ropes of his parachute be- came entangled and failed to allow the umbrella to open on the last of g. series of four parachute drops, at the Brockton fair.
 It was a tragic affair which shock ed the crowd that witnessed it, but it was only what is liable to happen every time such risk is incurred. It is the public demand which is to large extent responsible for it. With out such an attraction many a fair is considered tame and not worth att tending. The need of having some thrilling exhibition has been long rec ognized when it comes to getting and satisfying a crowd, and it is always possible to satisfy that demand be- cause there are enough daredevils who know no fear and are perfect ly willing to risk their lives for the good pay and the plaudits of the onlookers.
 Such cases amount to no more than public suicide and yet that same ele- ment of danger exists in the high dives, loop the loop and high speed tests. There is small satisfaction to be gained from such exhibitions where fatality is likely to occur at any time, but fortunate, indeed was it that this last deplorable death included only the exhibitor. Too often does it happen that it causes several other deaths or serious injur- ies.

Mystery Of Electricity. (NeW York Commercial.l

So thick and fast come the devel- opments of science in these days that men are losing their sense of aston ishment. The impossible becomes the actual so often that it is unsafe to say that anything cannot be done A few months ago the first telephone message was transmitted across the continent. Today we hear that still greater distance has been covered by wireless telephone. Forty years ago current of electricity could not be made to jump more than a few inches through a vacuum. To- day there is no known limit to it or rather to the capacity of new instru- ments to detect it.. Some electrical engineers believe that messages coulc be sent to the moon and perhaps out Into infinite space through the ether Just as easily as from San Francisco to Honolulu through the atmosphere. With all this no man can tell us what electricity is. All we know about it is that when a certain thing IS done certain results follow.

tended to. He must learn to be dili- gent and accurate and honest with himself and others. A buffer rarely becomes a scholar or valuable asset to school, family, church or state.
 But here let me limit and correct a false notion. All this is mighty task not to be calmly left wholly to teachers Have American parents abdicated their thrones as fathers and mothers set over a household for this very purpose of training children and not merely for producing them? It is so in all too many cases. If we as parents are not prompted by our sense of duty and affection to attempt to bring up our children in the nur- ture and admonition of the Lord and of the best of men we cannot expect paid strangers to do it effectually in our stead or blame them if the omit some of the finer things in the edu- cation of children.
 We must also remember that they are hampered by the fact that the laws governing public schools limit the teachers power or right to give religious instruction. Parents are not so hampered or restrained. I have chosen the text because it reminds us of the fact that parents after all are intended to be charged with the training of their own children in mind and soul. Let me quote the entire passage, Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise), |, that it may be we'll with thee and that thou mayest live long on the earth. And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath, but nurture them in the christening and admoni- tion of the Lord. Ephesians GA. Just think of it, that antiquated apos- tie expects fathers to take a hand in the training of their children. They are actually to spank them when they are naughty, but never in anger for that shows the father to be an un- disciplined tyrant. In the New Testa- ment the verb from which christening comes means to 'chastise, to punish. Chasten and chastise are one word in origin. "Admonition" means put in mind" Fathers are to put into the minds of their boys and girls cer- tain things What things? "Of the Lord" It was about God above all
 
 taught by the Lord Jesus Christ How. many of you fathers do that? How many of you leave it for your wife, and she most likely leaves it for the day school or Sunday school teacher to do in her stead. Thus you will see that both nurture or christening and admoition are included in "Instruc- ton" is the first half or stage of the childs training. Discipline and put ting in mind are the very clements of instruction. These things belong essentially at first to the parents be- cause they require the individual sep arate drill which the soldier receives before he is fit to be put in ranks or company with others. Then and only then may we venture to lead forth our children or youth into life's actual battles. Alas! Alas! Education is too often a failure because of instruction in it's first stages and best meaning.

So to my mind, enlightened by thirsy- eight years of visiting among all sorts of people. we need Christian parents and homes more than religion in schools and colleges. We need both. but first things first.
 Bishop Brent in his admirable iit- tie book, The Sixth Sense" says Public schools can never give char acter its best opportunity without a practical recognition of religion. Purely secular education. the imparf- ing of learning, including the science of ethics, without religion in church and home to supplemet it, is a doubt ful blessing at best. The current idea of secular education Is not new. Dur ing the French revolution its leaders mapped out what appeared to be a satisfactory program of instruction. It was desired to have moral training. first without religion or with theE
 worship of reason" then with a min~1 imum of religion. The priests were suffered to continue as being at any rate moral policemen, but Danton planned to supplant them with ofa- cers of morals. All eSperimets. were of no avail. IsnenN came freedom of worship. and iateq the Concordat reintroduccd tho old religious order. partly. it Ia true, he- cause the people could or would not live without it, but largely for tho sake of morals"

Independent Voting in Connecticut.
 Rockville Leader) a.

It is our candid opinion that the day is coming in local affairs not only here in Vernon and Rockville, but in many towns and cities throughout the country, when there will be no such thing as a party tic- ket at town or municipal election. In our recent town election 15 per cent. of those who voted did not vote straight party tickets. This is sig nificant. big corporation seeking a man for an important and respon- sible position doesn't concern itself as to the applicants politics. It is chiefly interested in his efficiency. And that's the principle that should car. ry the greatest weight with voters at town and municipal elections.
 Indeed, this is the very essense of good citizenship. Town or municipal government is a business proposition The citizen with the highest con- ception of his duty votes every time for the best qualified and most .ef1- cjent men for important town and city offices. :. --.- .

"The Best War POem."
(From the Manchester (Eng)
 Guardian.)


 Robert Service, the Canadian writ CT, who is at present engaged in Red Cross work in France, has sent to the Paris correspondent of an Eng fish paper what he describes as the best war poem I have seen." The verses, which MT. Service says, were found by French priest on the body of an English soldier killed at the Marne, run as follows:- They say that war is hell, the great
 accurest,
 The sin impossible to be forgiven; Yet I can look upon it at worst, And still see blue in heaven For when I note how nobly natures
 form
 Under the wars red rain, I deem
 it true
 That he who made the earthquake
 and the storm
 Perchance made battles, too. As a matter of fact, the lines were written in a time of profound peace like most good war poems, and by man who was an ecclesiastic, not soldier. Their author was pr. Alex ander, the late lord primate of Ire land. and they were first published in the Times some seven or eight years ago.

Our Police.
(New Haven Times Lea der.

(New Haven Times Leader.)
 Cities of New York, Conn.,, Mass, Maine and New Jersey have recently suffered because of an "epidemic" of burglaries.
 Judging from what has been made public about these crimes Connec- ticut people have lost less and been victims of fewer burglaries than other cities of like size in the burglary belt"
 All appearances indicate that the burglars are unusually bold and cun- nlng, and thus far they have not been caught
 In some instances fault has been found because the police and plain clothes men have not caught the crooks while in the act of burglar 1zing and footing the homes of their victims and because the police have not found such clues as trained sleuths are supposed to be able to readily dis cover.
 New Haven has 15O policemen and about dozen detectives. Most of them are diligent, intelligent, faith full, but they cannot be on duty 24 hours every day and live-hence some work days and others nights. There
 
 ings in New Haven.-Not more than 100 policemen and detectives are on duty at night, which means that each officer has an average of 5000 houses and buildings to watch, if it is as- stunned that he can fairly be held re- sponsible for crimes that may he com mitted in each of them-some job, don't you think.
 n public and private property and are rightfully presumed to be experts in their calling-they may be expected to recognize criminals when other peo- pie, not professional crook catchers, are oblivious to their presence, but just bear in mind that most police men are only human-not one of them can be in two places at one time. If it so happens that policeman and burglar are at the same place at the same time the policeman can be depended upon to get his man if brave, quick action can do it.
 But not a burglar has been caught doing any of these jobs in New Haven, say the critics-True, but in not one instance have home owners seen the crooks who have ransacked and footed their premises, som metimes doing so in broad daylight when all the family was at home, at other times going over the house from first floor to at tic while the family slept.
 If burglars can do these footing stunts without even being seen or heard by their victims, is it fair to claim that the police, having no clues whatever can trace them to their lair and confront them with proof that they belong in jail? These crooks are professionals and do not leave their booty where it can be easily discovered, nor do they steal property difficult to conceal.
 Our police are doing all they pos sibly can to rid New Haven of pro- fessional and other burglars. It is not fair to censure them for failure to be at the exact spot where a burg lar has decided to be at some partic- ular hour of the day or nighttime burglar can watch the police officer who is easily identified and plan ac- cordingly-the officer is always at a disadvantage when he undertakes burglar catching in uniform.
 We feel confident that most of our policemen deserve our confidence and cordial support. They are doing all that it is possible for them to do un- der the circumstances which confront them in New Haven.

Disorders of considerable propor, tion have occurred in Moscow durinEE the past few months. These haveE been chiefly attributed in advices fromN Russia to labor troubles. largely duo to many persons having been thrtagn out of work by strikes. and are de- clared not to have been of a political nature.
 Mail advices that reached here from Russia last month described the June riots. in which several persons werel injured and damage estimated at nearly S20,000,00 was done to Rrop- erty, as probably due to the growth in Moscow during the last fifteen years or hana-to-hand urban populatioH which had come in from the viliages- This element was described as hav- ing lost the steadying influence of viii lage life without acquiring urban traditions.
