eAeepe that every ono wants to see tue tax rate kept down. The rate here IS not high when the rate in many
 other cities are considered, but no one
 wants to pay any more than is ab- solutely necessary, and the board of finance and taxation has strictly ad- hered to the principle of economy so
 that nothing gets by it unless it is considered practically indispensa ble
 It is impossible just now to say
 what the outcome will be, because the departments have not prepared their figures, and even then the needs of all things asked is pretty thor oughly gone into by the finance board
 before they are granted, and it has frequently happened that some things Which were loudly demanded and which were said to be of great neces- slty were refused and the city nnachin- cry went along the same as usual. The board of finance has become bit hardened to this kind of thing and 1t has reached that point now where l 1t can say mo" without turning hair. 1

Making Gentlemen of Athletes.
Providence Tribune )

Provost Smith of the University of Pennsylvania is reported to have taken ground with President Hibben of Princeton university that under graduate athletes should have great CT opportunity to manage under graduate sports and the Philadelphia Ledger announces this as meaning the freeing of all the colleges from hired professionals.
 But this is putting an excessive meaning into the local significance in coaching, though it is true, as urged by the Ledger, that "college sport should never be conducted on the theory that a victory is necessary at any cost
 College sport in it's proper place should be regarded as an assistant to education. It is better for the col legian to have played and lost than never to nave played at all. If he plays and loses and presents an at tractive view in doing so he is set ting the example to induce others to play and lose and thus keep up the interesting competition.
 But the systematic organization Of football so as to keep it's strength in one or two colleges is likely to pro- duce another effect. It establishes tho recognized headquarters of foot ball which arc taking form SD rap idly. It would undoubtedly give more true and harmonious charac cter to college athletics if each colleges training were peculiar to it, and each college athlete a leader of his school in the athletic field
 These would illusrt ste in their daily work that it is all right to win in the regular competitions but that it is most important of all to wiz after the manner of gentlemen.

I Nsuggests proof of the predictions that have been made by the president and ! others connected with the present ad- miniStration.
 Tn ship purchase bill has occasioned
 some alarm, but the administration
 has adhered to it's purpose with
 talth born of a strong belief in it's
 value. 1t refuses to recognize the ar Sunents that are being urged against the purchase of ships, appears to think that they have no foundation in 1act and are being raised for the sole purpose of blocking what is consd cred a most desirable form of legis- lation. It is almost impossible to tell just now what the fate of the bill will be. It is now in the hands of the senators, and the democratic margin in the upper branch of congress is very small.

Uneven Assessing.
Manchester Herald. }

Despite the efforts of the state tax commissioner during recent years to make uniform the methods of assess ment and the fact that he has had a large degree of success, it is still appare to persons studying the
 grand list totals of various towns and , cities that certain items vary to dc ].
 gree out of proportion to the size the places. Manchester is one of tho towns where the assessors pay close
 attention to details and the. grand
 list figures indicate this. Watches,
 clocks, jewelry and pianos total
 larger here in tho assessment lists
 than in many of the larger cities
 Either the assessors in other places
 arc not making the effort to aaseT
 such luxuries or the people here are
 more conscientious when compiling
 their lists For instance, Manchester
 with onc-third the population of New
 Britain is assossed Sf2,2g5 for
 watches and jeweiry asains; & 065
 for New Britain. Furniture ard mu- sical instruments, chiefly pianos. here total S17S,344 and New RriterA, which must in tho nature of thlnKs possess a much greater amount. reaps tax on only SG,2S5. This may DC lBftlN oilSeL bN AUb IHCI lnat New Britain taxes furniture and libraries for $37,417
 The grand list figures Of the two places in other respects compare in- tercstingly. New Britain is the see- ond town in the county in populatiN and commercial importance and Man chester ranks next, coming ahead Of Bristol While New Britain has q population three times greater than Manchester. her grand list valuation is but little more than twice as great, indicating q greater per capita wealth for Manchester. In acreage Man chester is far larger. We are crcd-. ited with possessing If,27I acres Of taxable land and New Britain with only 5.552 acres, but her land valua- ton is twice as great, the assessment being $1 ,493,S0S against $7l4,579 for Here dwelling houses and house lots arc valued at about S 1000 900 and in New Britain tho igu~es read S17,3G4,900. In bots owns the greatest wealth lies ink Manchesters grand otal listed under mills and machinery md goods and materials of 1nanufac- ures totals $S.74S,997 and New Brit .in's S17S74,903.

Checks ou Nasty Bawmaking
Springfield Republican,

Representative Mann. the rcpubli-
 can leader in the house of rcpreseA- l tatives, is coming in for severe
 criticism from republican papers, in- 1 cludinR the New York Tribune, for 1 having invoked tochnicality Co
 strike out from the naval upprcpria- tion bill the provision for a bureau Of operations in the naval depart ment. This new bureau has been looked upon as the means of co-or- dinating the department into an or ganization of greater effectiveness for protection in war.
 The point which MT. Mann invoked
 was the familiar one of the rule
 against new legislation" on appro-
 pration bills. A single objection, if the chair holds that the protested
 clause falls under this head, is sufH-
 cicnt to throw il out. It is the com mon practice to add numerous such provisions to appropriation bills in the hope that they will be acquiesced to by the entire body. or that their character will escape undetected. or that their inclusion can be success fully defended by splitting parliament tary hairs. After they have been struck out. however, 1t remains pos
 
 liminary discussion of the bill is com pIeted, to have a so-Callcd special rule reported from the rules com mittec and adopted hy vote of the house. restoring such provisions and multiplying the point of order; oth- crwise the senate may be looked to.
 MT. Mann has always been a stick Ter for procedure At the time of the revolt against Speaker Cannon and the successful attempt to liberal ize the rules of the house it was MT. Mann who endeaVored to block the | new rules so far as he could. not for | the purpose of achieving any deh- | nitc end in legislation, but for the ! purpose of showing that | the rules was a thing 1
 But those who now CriUCisc Mir. 1 Mann for his recent objection are too there is value in proceed ing according to strict form even though 1t takes time and makes little moro trouble for everybody. The rule against "new Legislation on ap- bills is q sound one. It makes it possible for a single Vigilant member to hold up new propositions until general attention has been called to them and their effect given

With the Movies in China.
(EXchange.

A bunch of American young people gave a moving picture machine to the American Board Mission in Tai kuhslen, China. The story of it's use last summer has just come to hand. Taiku is a city of 10000 in habitants and is one of the banking centers of China It is in Shansi province about forty miles south of the provincial capital. The Oberlin- Shansi Memorial Academy is located there as well as a lively girls board ing school and an efficient hospital
 Rev. Wynn c. Fairfield, an Oberlin man who went to China in 1910. is the one who has managed the movies and who tells the story of their use in this remote interior city, The Chinese preacher got permission from the Buddhist priest in charge of the White Pagoda Temple in the center of the city to set up the machine on an elevated platform in front of the tenn pie. where plays in honor of the temple gods are given. Before the platform is a big paved space where the audiences stood as they do in Chinese theaters
 The show was advertised by posters and by word of mouth and about 1000 came the first night. Next night the chinese servant who carried the apparatus said "If there are not 5000 or 5000 people here there are 10000" but MT. Fairfield reckoned on about 2,O0O. He used about .OOO feet of film each night and sand wiched in between the reels of edu- cational views were slides picturing the Life of Christ.
 This was in April. Later exhibi- tions were given in June, July, Au- gust and Septem Der. The audiences averaged about 1.5OO-perhaps 22,- 300 persons attended during the sea- son. Some reels expected from Amer ica not having arrived, MT. Fairfield secured, to use with the films ori- ginally given, set illustrating the First Christmas and another on the life of Paul. It was encouraging to find, after these were shown, that men who had seen them were read ing their new tcstaments to find out more about the subjects of the pie lures.
 MT. Fairfield made plans to reach some of the crowds at the great fairs held in the autumn: but winter use is not practicable as Taiku has no house big enough to hold the crowds who want to come to an in door exhibition. When the attempt was made to have an exhibition in the mission chapel tho crowd was so destructive of furniture, etc, that it was not tried again. By the time outdoor work is again possible Mir. Fairfield hopes to haVc a still larger assortment of pictures which will take into the Chinese minds by eye- gate the facts preachers and teach CTS are trying to put in through ear gate.

Was Forty Years Ago.
(New York Evening Post.


 It was seen than forty years ago, on October 9, 1876, to be exact, that Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, held the first conversation over two-mile wire stretched from Boston to Cambridge. On March 10 at that same year, 1876, Bell and Watson had exchanged the first message to be carried by the human voice over d length of wire. From his room in the attic of the boardinGhouse in which they lived, at Exeter Place, Boston, Bell tele- phoned to Watson on the floor be- low: MT. Watson, come here, l want you." That first telephone was adapted only to sending from one end of the line, and Watsons reply was to rush upstairs, shouting eXcitcdly: T heard you! l could hear what you sadn'
 Bell was 29 years old; Watson was 22. We were ready to take the baby out for the first time," rccountcd Mr. Watson. We got permission from the Walworth Manufacturing company to use their private wire running from Boston to Cambridge, about two miles long. went to Cambridge that evening with one of our best telephones and waited until Bell signalled from the Boston of flee on the Morse sounder Then I cut out the sounder and connected in the telephone and listened. Not a murmur came through. Could it be that, although the thing worked all right in the house, it wouldn't work under practical line conditions?
 "I know that we were using the most complex and delicate electric current that had ever been employed for a practical purpose and that it was extremely 'intense,' for Bell had talked through a circuit composed of twenty or thirty human beings joined hand to hand. Could it be, I thought that these high-tensiOn vibrations leaking off at each insulatOr along the line, had vanished completely be- for they reached the Charles river?
 That fear passed through my mind ! as IgWOrked over the instrument ad- justing it and tightening the wires in the binding posts, without improving matters in the least. Then the thought struck me that perhaps there was another Morse sounder in some other room. l traced the wires from
New Britain herald., 1915-02-04

the place they entered the building and sure enough, found relay with d high resistance coil in the circuit I cut it out with a piece of wire across the binding posts. and turned back to my telephone and listened. That was the trouble.
 Plainly as one could wish came Bells Ahoy, ahoy!' l ahoyed back, and the first long distance telephone conversation began.
 "Skeptics had been obiecting that the telephone could never compete with the telegraph, as it's messages would not be accurate. For this reason Bell had arranged that we should make a record of all we said and heard that night, if we succeed ed in talking at all. We carried out this plan, and the entire conversation was published in parallel Columes in the next mornings Advertiser, as the latest startling scientific achieve ment."
 I'itly enough, it was Bell and Wat son, no longer the unknown inven- tors of 1876, but world-famous, pros porous and honored. who inaugur- ated on January 25 the crowning achievement of the industry they had launched. At 4:30 D. m. here when it was 1:30 D. m. in San Fran cisco-John J. Carty, chief engineer of the company. picked up the re- ceiver in the office of Theodore x. Vail. president of the Bell company, here in New York, and handed it to pr. Bell, sitting beside him.
 "Hullo, MT. Watson,' said pr. Bell, in his casual spea king voice. Are you there ?''
 And clear and distinct over 3,40o miles of wire came the reply:
 "I hear you perfectly"

SHIP PURCHASE BILL.

One of the arguments that Is being urged against the ship purchase bill is that it would not be of any par ticular value to this country in the ity it would, if passed, be d source of expense rather than of any financial a deficiency and the amount would have to be made up by taxation in some form. This is in line with the popular belief that business on the government ownership plan cannot be conducted as successfully as when conducted by private individuals, and the post office is being cited as an instance of where the expenses eX- ceed the receipts.
 The government reports for Dccem- Der show that exports for that month exceeded the imports by approximate ly $13,0000OO, which is a very signif- cant sum, especially at time when business is dull and in the winter when the exports arc not expected to reach a very high point. The fact, however, that the balance is in our favor is encouraging for the reason that such a result has been looked for, and the fact that it has appeared
