NEW BRTTAIN's GRAND OLD MAN

It seldom falls to any man in this
 by the psalmist,-three score years
 and ten. Yet New Britain boasts of
 one to whom this occurred long ago.
 Professor David N. Camp, honored
 and revered among men, has seen the
 best part of century pass before his
 gaze, has crossed the threshold of the
 nineties, and tomorrow will celebrate
 the ninety-fifth anniversary of his
 birth He has seen the entire ga-
 nut of human emotions, has wit
 messed the most marvellous trans
 formation that ever befell the earth ;
 has seen nations disappear, cities spring up, people die out. He has
 tasted of the sweets of life, has known
 his share of the sorrows. And, best of all, he, has had the great satis- faction of having a hand in the up- building He first saw the city of
 New Britain in it's swaddling clothes, i when it lay on the hillside, a weak, struggling youngster, crying for suc- cor. Through it's early youth he watched it grow and guided its fal- tering steps along the way. In it's early manhood he lent his support and now, from his pinnicle of age, i he looks down upon city in the full l bloom of robust growth strong l healthy, fully developed city, whose very activities from the cradle have l been inherently influenced by him. 1 And, in the measure of his years, he l must know how his name is cher I ished by all those who tread the streets he knew as paths in the mead | ows, how his name is on the lip of l each and every boy and girl, man and | woman, who recognize in him the l pioneer, the builder, the seer, the sage
 and the philosopher to whom New I Britain owes so much.
 Professor Camps name has been | New Britain. He is honored among 1 men, cherished among women. By l the example of his life he has spur 1 red on the youth of the city because | he has shown the way in self-sac. 1 rifice, in good habits, in clean living I To live to such great age is not | such wonderful thing when the l manner of living is considered, for ] barring accident and disease, any

Eliminating Our Parts.
Philadelphia Record.)

Good morning! Have you had your pancreas extracted?" may be- come a regular form of greeting in the new era of surgery, which accord ing to the discussion at the conven- ton of the state medical society, is about to be ushered in. It is remark able how many parts of the human body the surgeons find to be worse than useless. in that they function only injuriously to tho possessor. First 1t was the vermiform appendix, and now the gall bladder is condemned as a superf1uity and a mere menace. Is is possible that there are fashions in the interior anatomy of man as we'll as in his sartorial exterior?

A Bullfrog Crcak.
(F'rom the Wall Street Journal.)

(From the Wall Street Journal)
 It is an undeniable defect in demo. cracy, in a country of unfettered press and free speech, that it is possible for a time, to substitute noise for public opinion. The real American public opinion is a matured second thought, and it is generally right. But there is a sort of clamor, which is not even popular, which is always wrong. That directed against the credit of S500,- 000,00O for the Allies comes under this head
 It assumes that we are lending money for var. We are not. We are financing American trade Henry Walters, chairman of the Atlantic Coast line, seldom or never gives in terviews for publican. but here is what he tells the Wall Street Jour nal:
 "The Allies should be given a credit by this country of $1,00O, 1000, ,0O0, or more if they require it, upon such terms as will make all sections of the country subscribe liberally to it, according to their means, and no sec- tfons are more interested in the es- tablishment of this credit than the cotton and grain growing States, es- pecially the latter, which are likely to have serious competition from Ar gentina and the Black Sea unless this credit be given promptly and whole heartedly."
 The allusion to Argentina and rhe Black sea supplies does justice to the acuteness Of Mr. Walters vision. Our | grain growers shipping now, with the | help of the credit of the Allies, will n1oin all f1n l x,fo 1F pressed competition from the Black sea. If, however, the loan were re- | fused or delayed, they would lose that advantage, and would find them | selves facing unwelcome competition in the event of the opening of the Dardanel1es.
 The pro-German propagandists, ig- noring the fact that Germany has | sold bonds here herself for direct war purposes, which the Allies have not, I suggest methods of opposition which | might me dangerous if they were not | futile. One of them announcves that | he has withdrawn his savings de- l posits in gold, and locked that gold | in a vault. He is a martyr indeed | for he fines himself the interest on | his savings to resent grievance l which does not exist. ..
 As this country is getting more gold
 than it needs, this hyphenated pa
 triot should be allowed the empty
 satisfaction of carrying some of the | burden. If there were really any
 great number of people like him they
 could, of course, seriously embarrass
 minor lines of our own credit, with
 out doing any appreciable damage to | the Allies. But perhaps it will re-
 assure the visiting mission to learn
 what they must have suspected. This
 small faction makes up in noise what | it lacks in numbers. The croak of the
 bullfrog might be terrifying, but only
 to one who had never seen the frog

The Bumper Law Crop.
Waterbury Democrat.)

A Kansas man, asserting that over production of laws is running the country, gives these illuminating ex- amples of what he calls superfluous legislation in his own state: First Kansas, although a prohibition state, has law prohibiting the eating of snakes Second-he once bet a Kansas City friend $100 that the friend couldn't go six hours without breaking a law. The latter took him up, and went to bed. When he fin ished his nap and came around to collect the $100, he was arrested for sleeping under a sheet less than nine feet long. These facts seem to prove the case. for Kansas at least. As for the legislative output in other states-just ask any lawyer who tries to keep track of it.

On Getting Together.
(Waterbury Republican, )


 When there is a strike there is a "get-together" of employers and em- ployes. Sometimes it is only a nose pulling or head-sma shing affair; sometimes it is a deep-delving probe into the two sides of the case, in which employe and employer concen- trate their energies on specific prob lems which are suddenly thrust into their attention and whose exasperat- ing features tax the self control of individuals to the limit.
 In the former situation the clash is a struggle usually of the same nature as dog-fight,-o in which brute strength plays a strong part; in the latter character cuts figure and pa tience often brings rich reward It is out of the latter that the best results come and sometime 1t is in such a struggle that both sides will find a new light which leads to beginning of new relationship making for bet ter feeling all round and better re- suits generally. .
 The pity of it is that it takes strife to bring about changes that would quickly follow if there were better opportunity for each side to get the others point of view and the reasons for it. ..--s

the man upon whose shoulders rests the burden of one hundred million people. The story is told by Bishop Anderson, of Cincinnati. the facts coming direct from cabinet member. It was at the time when the United States was on the brink of war, when serious conditions, fraught with the direst possible results, hung over the nation, that the president manifested his extreme humility, his belief in a Supreme Being, his wonderful faith. Arriving at the executive offices
 where all cabinet meetings are now held, the president met his official family. His face wore a drawn and haGgard expression. His had been night. of worry. Facing the cabinet members, he said: "I don't know whether you men believe in prayer or not I do. Let us pray, and ask the help of God Immediately, follow ing his example, the dignified states men fell upon their knees, bowed their heads in silence, and uttered prayer with the chief executive. This done, they sat at their appointed places and the business at hand was finished. The clouds have cleared away and the presidents belief in prayer Justified
 With this insight into the character of Woodrow Wilson, who is there to doubt, whether he be a believer or not, that the wonderful faith of the man has not guided him over the treacherous paths that have laid be- fore him. In what contrast does he show against some of the foreign
 rulers who, believing themselves
 greater than the Almighty, would never stoop so low as to entreat thelr
 Divine Maker for assistance, or II they
 ask for help do so more for dlplomatlc req sons than anything else. Woodrow | Wilson for being a Christian, with 1 belief in prayer, is no less man. III 1 this day of indifference he has set i gCOd example to ms people WLo new l all along hailed him as leader Ill 1 righteousness, in honesty, in stead1ast- l ness of purpose, and who must no" | look to him as the nearest approach tc an apostle of peace on earth. It
 takes strength to pray. And 1t makes
 one stronger for having prayed. l Woodrow Wilson by his action may
 have opened the eyes of many who
 have long ago lost faith in prayer and. if he has done so, the good he
 will accomplish is immeasurable In l this day and generation when
 churches are decrying the lack of in terest in religion, when materiallst1c
 movement has spread itself over the
 face of the globe, it is good to see one l in high office who admits his human l frailties. who railizes that all earthly
 power. no matter how great, is only
 transient The nation, following the example set by the president, should
 kneel today in meditation and pray
 with him that the United States will
 not be drawn into the world conflict,
 that while butchery and barbarity are destroying the flower garden of
 Europe. America will ever remain the
 abode of peace and good will to men.

It is idle to venture to predict that the new Allied operation in the west is more than a local operation. Its maximum of success may have been attained. But at the close of a sum- mer hardly eaualed in the history of any nation, after victories of endur- ing grandeur, Germany is now being attacked on all fronts, and her stu pendous losses have brought her no nearer ultimate victory The moral effect upon Germany of the new crisis Kaiser promised her victory and peace last October. Peace and the conquest of Russia were assured this autumn. But there is no peace. This much French, British and Russian at- tacks made plain today inside as well as outside Germany.-New York Fri bune.

There never was an Economic" reason justifying the putting of sugar on the free list, and the war has only emphasized the folly of that mistake. The government is making a tremen- dous effort to encourage the develop ment of the dye industry in the United States, in order to lessen our dependence upon Germany for dyes, but dyes, important as they are, are of trif1ing importance as compared to sugar. It is infinitely more important to develop a certain and great sugar industry in the United States, for sugar is far more essential to the na- tion's welfare than are dyes, than it is that we should develop a dye indus try important as the latter is. For the government to throw away an income of from $50,OOO,O0O to s60,- OO0,00O year. at time when re- venue is sadly needed, by failure to repeal the present sugar-law would be an unpardonable piece of financial shortsightedness It would justly bring down upon the head of all who advocate the continuance of the pres ent tariff bill to sugar, and the throw ing away of $50,00O, 900 or $60,000,- 900 of revenue, the condemnation of the country at large.-Baltimo Manufacturers Record.

1t Is known that no protest by this
government Is probable until French
prize court passes on the ships status
This has been the policy in similar
cases.
The voyage Of the Dacia has been
regarded as test lease upon which
final decision Of belligerent countries
might be based.
The steamer Dacia left Galveston for
Rotterdam on Jan. 81, with 11,0)6 bales
of cotton to be transshipped to Bremen.
1t was fully expressed at that time that
tho ship would be seized on her way to
Rotterdam as Great. Britain question .st
the validity Of the recent transfer VI tie
Dacia from German to American reg
istry.
The Dacia touched at Norfolk on Feb.
IL, and then proceeded on her way.
The Dacia was formerly Hamburg
American freight steamship which had
been used before the war in trade be-
tween Bremen and New Orleans and
other gulf ports At the outbreak Of
the war she was interned at Port
Arthur, Texas. On Dec. 20, the Dacia
was purchased by an American and on
Jan. 4. American registry was obtained.
It was then announced that she was to
be used to relieve the cotton congestion
and loading was begun with cargo of
cotton to be taken to Rotterdam, where
1t was already sold.
Representations were made immedi-
ately questioning the validity of the
transfer Of the interned German vessel
and 1t was generally understood that II
the ship sailed she would be seized by
British or French ships and taken be-
fore prize court.

Army and Navy Men to Form Organ
ization to Include MiIitiamen.
New York, March 1.-Formal an
nouncement was made here last night
of the formation of an organization Of
first reserves. to be known as the
American Legion, to be composed Of
former army. navy and militiamen.
which will better insure the nations
preparedness in case of war.
Capt. Gordon Johnston, aide-de-
camp to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding the department of the
east, made the announcement on be-
half Of group of army and navy men,
who in an unofficial capacity, are act
ing with civilians in promoting the
movement.
Captain Johnston said It is planned
to establish within short time a
first reserve Of between 250,000 and
600, 900 former army, navy and militia
men for instant call in case Of emer-
gency.
Major General Wood has already
given the plan his unofficial indorse-
ment and former President Roosevelt
has written letter approving the pro-
posal. Numerous other public men
have indorsed the project and in a
statement the promoters say that
former secretary of war and Of the
navy have indicated their willingness
to act in an advisory capacity.
Asserting that he and his four sons
will become members of the legion,
Colonel Roosevelt, in a letter to the
organizers, says that in the event OF
war he intends to ask congress for
permission to raise a division Of cav
airy.
