UNIFORMITY IN NEW ENGLAND

Many are the occasions when the different states in New England have found it advisable to follow in the footsteps of another. The need of uni for1nity in certain legislation has also made it's appeal and where it has re- ceived favorable action it has been fol- lowed by anticipated results.
 Just now when the legislatures of the SIX states are holding their an- nual or biennial sessions for law1uaI- ing, attention is called to the conflict Which is caused by the subdivisions of New England acting in their own way irrespective of the others where as the state of Texas, several times as large, would be handling all the prob 1ens as under one jurisdiction. Con- corning this the Springfield Republican well says that New England is pav- ing a price for being six instead of one and the effect should be made to min imize the efficiency handicap by execu- tive cooperation and legislative unf- forrnity at all possible points. Tradi- tion, pride in origin, historical deveI- opnent along individual lines and po- Ht1cal self interest dictate the p8lii q l perpetuation of New England as it is. So long as states are equally repre- sented in the United States senate. regardless Of population. New Eng land will remain six states witE 12 senators. The other aspect of a de- centralized New England, however. should be considered more and more in the future in order that no serious harm may be done to the inhabitants of these states. They should cultivate teamwork in legislative policy and en- deavoi to make one for all and all for one more nearly 8 reality"
 There can be no doubt of the value to be derived from such action. but it would have to amount to more than the recent get-together movement of the governors of the states

WAR MUNITIONS EMBARGO.

It can hardly be expected that con- gress will take favorable action upon the bill seeking to prohibit the sale of munitions of war to any of the belligerents. That the promoters of such a measure could have expected it to be adopted is beyond belief. Aside from the justified opposition which it is bound to receive the greatest appli- cation of cold water has come from Germany which has said in reply to the efforts of the German packers that it does not desire such legislation.
 The@situation, is perfectly clear in regard to this kind of business for international law makes it plain that neutral nations can 1egitimately carry on this kind of trade with the bel ligerents if they are able. In this particular case Germany is un- able to derive great benefit from the privilege because the allies are in con- trol of the seas and it's goods in the contrapand class subject to seizure. As a neutral nation the business houses of this country are as willing to do business with Germany as with Great Britain or France. They are not show ing any partiality in the matter what SN0A Sthu dIiy IhuIcdllon or one sided ness Is due solely to the fact that Great Britain can protect the delivery of it's orders and Germany cannot
 This government is not going to step in and say to. the manufacturers of this country that they cannot accept orders from any of the belligereHts just because this situation exists. II is pursuing it's neutral course by the existing procedure and it is not dis posed to pass legislation which would be advantageous to Germany any more than 1t is inclined to do anything to aid the allies. It is purely a business proposition and must remain so.

HASTEN THE EXCHANGE.

E Having been in progress for period Eaof five months, during which millions hzEof men have been engaged, there are ,sas the result Of the war in Europe ssgreat numbers of soldiers who are be- fjng held as prisoners. There are those esyho are in good health, those suffering tfrona wounds and who in time would riDe able to do further service and still Eothers who are totally incapacitated s5or any further army service what lever the length of the war.
 x Encouraging are the results which sa1ave attended the efforts to secure an seXchange of these last named officers 5and men and it is to be sincerely hoped ethat the negotiations will accomplish f4he desired end While they may be getting decent care and food wherever
 they are located, there is no advantage
 obtained by the respective countries in .%ontinuing to hold them as prisoners, aSyhen just that much burden might be 9ifted and 8 like amount of relief ex- stended to such men if fair exchange sSyaas effected.
 a Injuries and anputatfens which fully lncapacitate are easily determined and s3here is not involved the same 1nili- Jary situation as when able bodied sprisoners are concerned, for while the Permanently disabled prisoners may 5nclude some of the best trained men 1hey are not going to turn up again at e1he front.
 2 It is a matter in which there should De no delay. In fact a fair exchange .5s as advantageous for one side as the other and if by chance there is a pos
 sibility of relieving the anguish of
 these mutilated fighters, and their de-
 pendents it cannot come too soon,

SPEAKER HEALY.

'' The selection of J. Frank HeaIy as speaker of the house in the 1915 gen. eral assembly pays due recognition to his qualifications for the position. The confidence in his ability is reflected in the unanimous choice by the republi- can majority back of which was of course the record he had made as re- e6ubiican leader in the house during the previous session, which must have impressed the democrats as well as republicans.
 Speaker Heaiy. possesses the very experience which fits him for the inn ;portant place to which he had been elected. That the general assembly is overwhelmingly republican does not lessen the duties which go with the Nspeakership. It cannot be forgotten that it is in session for the render ing Of the greatest service to the people of the state. It must keep such irt mind It must realize that it is

tLuTERAcY DOOMED.

There is the proper spirit displayed in the announcement from. the govern ment bureau of education when it is claimed that iIIiteracy in this country is doomed. This is probably based upon the progress made in recent years and the manner in which the problem is being tackled at the present time, for when it is shown that in period of ten years there has been a, decrease of nearly 50 per cent. among children of ten to fourteen years, it is quite evident that results are being accomplished and that the assertion is justified.
 How soon that doom will be sealed depends, however, upon the manner and method of attack. The public schools through the compulsory att tendance laws is bound to eliminate nliteracy among children in com parativeIy short time if there is a proper concentration of interest to that end, but it is a much more diffi- cult task that is faced when it comes to wiFping out the illiteracy among the adults. Time and death will do their part but extraordinary measures must be adopted if the illiterate millions are going to be taught to read and write Night schools are doing much in this direction wherever they are to be found and it is the claim of the commission CT of education that forces could be put to work by an average annual ex- penditure of $20, ,000 that would elirn- mate illiteracy among the adults of the country. Connecticut has reduced it's illiteracy by at least one-half and only one child in a thousand between the ages of ten and fourteen cannot read and Write. It is far ahead Of many other states, but what it has done others not only can but should do.

they have shown the friendly attitude You remember the experience of Pol lyanna when she got hurt and couldn't longer play the glad game" Her aristocratic aunt was astonished at the motley crowd who called at the door to inquire for their little helper It is simply an illustration in fiction dupli- cated every day in fact of the proVerb:
 He that hath friends must show him. self friendly"
 Why should not one start this new year in the practice of friendIineSS? Letk him cultivate sincere purpose of kindness, Of helpful interest, of will insness to do a good turn" as the Boy Scouts say. in largE matters or in small to as many as poss. N of those who cross his path. Starting beneath ones own roof that purpose may eS- tend to the whole circle of business, school shop and social acQuaintances with whom one has to do It Is an al- most unfailing recipe for making 1915 a year rich in blessing. Some there may be who will re- sist the kindliest overtures. Of course, one cannot make friends with those who stubbornly refuse to be friendly. The incorTigibly cross grained peoGAe we must leave to the good Lord, who knows how to get along with them. But the greater part of the world waits for friendship friendship which is the heavenly note in our human rela- tions and the essence of religion Itself. One Is not going to stagnate in the new year if he catches the spirit of these lines:
 I would be friend of all; the foe. the
 friend9ss,
 I would be giving and forget the
 gift;
 would be humble, for I know my weakness,
 would look up. and laugh. and love. and lift.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION.
What Is Thought of The Bulletin Away from Home.

The New Year edition of the Nor wich Bulletin was as usual dis tinctive one. one well illustrating the originality and individuality of that exceedingly live newspaper. The field covered by The Bulletin is . fortunate one, for it has a paper to take pride in. Long ago the Springfield Republi- can became an institution and is right Iy regarded as a leader differentiated from the conventional. But The Bulle- tin deserves that recognition, too. It Is no more an fmitator than the Re- publican and it's pages have far more varied interest than many of the big metropolitan dailies. Variety and in- terest and an admirably covered news field are by no means it's whole claim to attention. It is the work Of men of character, conscience and high ideals as well as ability, men who are not afraid to get out of the beaten path and express themselves frankly and forcefully on any subject, while at the same time showing much more than ordinary consideration for others. The editorial, Man Who Talks, Farmer, and other departments of The Bulletin are unique. Each of them has a de- lightful quality of its own. The read CTS of this paper ought to be pretty well acquainted by this time with the genial philosopher who calls himself The Man Who Talks, one of the finest characters in New England Journalism. but they are not as well acquainted as they should be with The Farmer For years have been reading farm cor ners of all sorts. and in all the years have found only two writers of this sort who have impressed me as being remarkably strong. sturdy, Virile men, men who loom large because of the wholesome manhood that is so mani- festly their foundation with a super str9fture of keen intellizence, experi- encS and a desire to be Of servscA These men are The Farmer of The Bulletin and the Hope Farm man of the Rural New Yorker. The Bulletin is fortunate in having at command a staff capable of making paper of it's grade--the best grade-and I most heartily congratulate it and its work CTS. They have my best wishes for the New Year. May they never become just like others" They are mighty fine as they are. Heaven preserve their independence and indi
 viduaIity, for we have need of this kind.-Bristol Press Notebook,
