ELIMINATE INDIFFERENCE.

The selectmen and the town clerk,
the board designated for the making
of voters. hold their meeting in town
hall Saturday for the purpose Of
passing upon the qualification of those
who have been placed upon the list
of to-be- made voters. This list num-
bers several hundred and being made
at this time permits Of participation
in the town election next month.
Strange as it may seem there is al
ways larg" number who are entitled
to be voters and who have gone
through the preliminary duty of filing
an application but who never appear
before the board to be made. For a
certain few there may be good ex-
cuses, but for the majority of those
VINO fail TO get their right of suffrage
it Is chiefly q matter Of indifference,
or an oversight which shows a slight
regard for the privileges obtaina BILE
and the personal interest that is in
volved.
Such Indifference is not found in
the to-be-mades alone for it prevails
to disgraceful extent among the
electorate, and it is undoubtedly true
that the degree to which it prevails
there is due the apathy which exists
when it comes to being made a voter
1t is the duty of every person whose
name is on the list to go before the
board which makes voters on Satur-
day and take the oath of an elector
and thereafter on every occasion
which presents itself to- make use OF
his right. Public obligations should
not be shirled. If those who can be
made voters are in town and physi.
cally able nothing should keep then
away from the performance of theil
duty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mutual Liberty vs.. Personal.

Mr.. Editor:-In the Bulletin of Aug.
% l saw an article entitled Personal
Liberty, signed T. NJ. Gilmore
would like to ask what is personal
liberty. He, She or It? Is he the guy
that tossed the apple to Eve in the
garden or is he a god and therefore
spirit? We are told that a serpent
beguiled Eve. Was 1t a snake or was
1t the serpentine coil known to distill-
ers as the worm, the spirit from which
has beguiled so many? Personal lib
erty (called by another name) reigned
from Adam till Moses and is trying
to in Europe and Mexico at present
and has showed his hand in Georgia.
Contrast this liberty where the prin-
ciple actor can spare a million of his
friends and lives for personal glory,
with the liberty wherewith Christ
makes free. He humbled himself and
became obedient even to death; gave
himself as a ransom for many. If
we make Him our King we all share
alike in liberty and glory-joint heirs
with Him He said to him that over
cometh will I grant the privilege to
sit with Me on My throne. God made
man a son and set life and death be-
fore him, Adam chose death. Jesus
chose obedience and was resurrected

RockEFELLER's VISIT.

In all probability the visit of John
D. Rockefeller, Jr, to the coal fields
and the swinging of a pick in a mine
will not cover very long period of
time. He will do about enough to
furnish something to talk about and
give him rough idea of the condi-
lions which exist in that locality but
it cannot be expected that he will get
thoroughly in touch with the miners
position in a few days time.
The visit to Colorado, however, will

Hospital Train Contributed.

The contribution of the German Mu-
scum of Munich, one of Germany's
most prominent scientific institutions,
to the cause of the Fatherland, is a
SurpaSS in efficiency, excellence and
luxury any other train now in use.
The outbreak of the war all but put
q stop to the activities of the Muse
UNI; it checked the construction Of it's
new building; it cut off the intercourse
with foreign countries that had long
been a feature of the institution, and
generally it has taken away a large
part Of it's personnel. The more rea-
son, it's leaders decided, why 1t should
perorm some concrete sacrifice.
The equipment of a train, it was
decided, would afford the Museum the
best chance to apply the scientific at
tainments of the institution in a prac-
teal way. The result is a train Of 20
cars, with a capacity of 200 wounded
soldiers and officers, and about fifty
physicians, clergymen, nurses and at
tendants.
Luxury of appointments was at nc
| time considered essential in the train
/ but it has been achieved nevertheless
| in the provisions making for absolute
cleanliness and sanitation. The cars
are enamelled floor to roof; each bed
| has it's individual electric light; the
| eating untensils are of nickel and
aluminium; each car possesses it's tele-
| phone; there are ice chests and cleo
| trio fans hot water heaters and drink.

that that country has been promised
the coveted sections of Servia for
whatever part It takes in aiding the
drive. Just how much opposition can
be expected from Rumania Is uncer-
tain but the call to the colors of the

be used to offset whatever part Ru-

possibility that it will force 1t to re-

an understanding where it will aid

UNIFIED STATES SLOW.

Coming back from one of his tours
of South America DR. L. s. Rowe,
secretary general of the Pan Ameri-
can Financial congress brings back
the information that the people Of
South America think that the Ameri-
can Manufacturers and exporters are
slow in taking advantage of the OPP
portunities which exist on that conti-
nent for trade expansion.
This is perhaps not so surprising
in view of the Indifference which has
been manifested towards the develop
ment of improved trade relations, for
while it has been recognized that the
markets of South America have been
opened up to the American trader in
a manner which never existed before
there has been no great rush to take
advantage of them. 1t has been point
ed out that there is need of more di-
rect and rapid communication between
the ports of the two continents, there
is need of establishing better f1nan-
cial relations and an absence of CO.
operation which would facilitate the
overcoming off existing difficulties, and
yet there appears to be little progress
made in any effort to surmount such
problems.

European demands just at the present
time but appears to ignore the fact
that II is the European condition
which furnishes such opportunities ir

withstanding the recent request that
citizens turn all their gold coins into
the public treasury, this official had
$500 in gold in his safe. The burglar
took the money and left the following
note addressed to his victim:

dred 20 franc pieces in your possess
sion when the country has need of all
