MT. Ford, who "cou1d' make the best citizens out of Sing Sings worst, taking them into his shops, says, how ever, that he doesn't propose to do so He seems content with the amazing amount of free advertisement he is get ting, and we'll he may be.-Hartford Courant.
 President of girls college tells them it is all right to say ''damn-" He is right, for saying "fudge' and meaning "dam" is worse than saying it. Still we hope that the proxy will not encour- age the dear things to go any further -Meriden Journal.
 The Armours and others of the men who have strangle-hold on the meat business of this country, and several others, are now saying that beef steak will go to fifty cents a pound and shoes to ten dollars per pair "because of the shortage of cattle" Immediately after issuing this proclamation they hustle a fleet of steamers across the Atlantic loaded with cattle for the soldiers. It is indeed a paralyzing shortage of cattle' that enable thousands of them to be sent abroad. Press.
 Billy Sunday says he is ''signed up" until 1917, so if New Haven wants 10 be shown how to "slide hOme'' in a religious sense it must wait patiently. During his last sermon Billy made a running slide on his chest clear across the stage pulpit to show how it is done in baseball, and then exhorted his as- tonished audience to apply the lesson.

 If Governor Holcomb really believes in economy he will veto that appropria- tion for revising the statutes, when it gets to him. In the past entirely dis proportionate sums have been paid for this work, the disbursements being upon theory of political rewards plus the idea that lawyer on the public pay roll is worth five or six times as much as a lawyer in private practice l Bridgeport Farmer.

Letters From the People
Christian Heralds.
Editor News:

Editor News:
 Field secretaries, as we understand it are they who go forth to proclaim salvation through Jesus, who died for all human kind. When we listened to the talk given the other day by one of these Christian Heralds, we felt something thawing out around the heart. It wasn't due to the ease, the plain and simple language, or the truth, honesty and sincerity of the speaker, though all these had an immense and satisfying charm to the listener, but it was the name of Jesus that she used so gently and so earnestly throughout her talk, that warmed the heart grown somewhat cynical and contemptoous over so much that is fake, or pretense, or self -exploi- tating insincerity in this world of social and religious action.
 Just the name of Jesus, and the tell ing was,
 "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
 In believers ear.
 It must be that ours is believers s soul for that name sounded wonderfully sweet to the ear.
 In6 dlUdr nynln begins,
 "Ye Christian Heralds go proclaim,
 Salvation in Immanuel's S name.'
 Go forth, Christian Heralds. Yours is indeed a a noble work, no small nature, no little mind, no self-seeking or jealous soul can do this work of a field secretary; Heralds of Jesus; and we wish our struggling faithful clergy nd +h1ca out, might have the help and encourage ment of these women Heralds. We have plenty of fine church women who can get up good church suppers and lunches, but over-fed bodies and under fed souls may have something to, with lean churches.
 Back to the land, is the cry from the cities. How quickly the heart responds even the cynic 's--to the real thing. What intuition is this of the spirit that tells us when sincere, honest soul is speak ing, not for its own glory or advance ment, but for Jesus and humanity's sake. It is so long since we have heard the name of Jesus spoken by woman. We talk so much about more fashion able things Uplift and welfare and dances and dinner and dollars and cents ard something that is for our own ad- vancement in social or church import ance and ncidentally-without think ing, whether there is any Jesus about, either in heaven or earth. We slyly do one another whenever we happen to think it our moral ? or religious'1 duty to do so. We'll, the old hymns came to mind as we went home wishing Christ ian Heralds would talk oftener in our town. The heather hears the name of Jesus far oftener than the pleasure mad church goers of the old-long ago con- verted towns. We sorely need num- ger of women field secretaries in our own towns. Heralds of newer, fresher, higher impulses, aims and ideals. We are glad, more glad. than we can say that we heard a woman talk about Jesus. We hear so little about Him in polite society except perhaps on Sun days, when it is permitted the clergy to mention Him. A Believer.

HOW ABOUT THE CHURCH?

The recent activity of the local church brotherhoods, in booming the everybody to church '' movement, makes timely the following, by Rev. Charles Stelzle:
 ''Is the church losing it's grip upon the life of the nation? Look at few figures. In 1900 only seven persons out of every hundred of the total popu. lation in this country were members ot the church. In 1850 there were fifteen in every hundred; in 1870, seventeen; in 1880, twenty; in 1890, twenty two; 1; in 1900, twenty four; ill 1910, twenty just now. From 1900 to 1910, the in- crease in population and in church membership was the same. It's tie !! What will the next decade show? It's rather unsafe to prophecy. But mean while, what should be the outcome Is the church as an institution worth SUD- porting? Let's be frank about the matter. The church was not created Dy DEl6SIS dll A1hlSUcIS. 1O SI0W OuU of the natural religious instincts of the people, for every man is naturally re- hgious. The persistence of religious institutions shows that they are factors of importance in the life of the com munity. For many the church is the most powerful of all the agents of social control.'

Couldn't Believe If.

"After a couple of years absence from home was playing in a city near by, and invited my father to come over and see the show" relates a famous actor.
 "When the last curtain had rung down he came back on the stage to see me and while we were chatting the treasurer appeared at the door of my dressing room and handed me my pay envelopes. Dad saw the figures on the outside and his eyes sparkled.
 My boy,' he said, you don't tell me you get that much every week, do you? ?

Litchfeld' s statesman-humorist, Rep resentative Rogers, convulsed the House, the other day, by introducing a bill to prohibit politicians. The bill provides "that all candidates for an office in a town should first be ex- amined by civil service commission as to mental, moral and physical con- dition."

The weather man has been showing what he can do, for the last few days, and has made more or less creditable showing of versatility. January slop- ped over into February, with wet sploshy, spongy covering of saturated snow on foundation of ice, and before the first day of the new month had gone veritable blizzard of hail came along and crusted everything out doors with a thick jacket of hard-packed sleet that was almost as solid as ice. It has been hailing or showing almost con- tinuously since, and to all appearances we shall have sleighing until April Fools day.

Referring to the Massachusetts bill "to provide for the protection of the public health in the valley of the Housatonic river," Walter Prichard Eaton, in the February number of "Stockbridge," says: "It is too bad we cannot take the entire General Court and the Governor canoeing on our sewer, some nice, hot August day" :" And it is the Stockbridge and Berk- shire "sewer'' that flows down through the whole length of the picturesque Housatonic Valley.
