OTHER VIEW POINTS

The Federal Government expects a substantial increase in revenue from income taxes this year in Rhode Is- land, but 90 far is collecting less than last year ct this time. There IS. however, no sign that the Government feels about the matter as did the clergyman in country parish in an old story, who declined an advance in salary because it was already more than he could do to collect a smaller one. The Internal Revenue Service
 will not decline to assess more tax
 because collections are slow.--PFovi- dence Bulletin.
 It is good news for the people of
 Anconta to learn that most of the
 property owners, who had been noti-
 fled by the board Of health to clean up
 warm weather, acted promptly upon
 the warning. There were but few re- calcitrants. And these can be safely left to the operations of u1e health law
 which should be invoked by the pro- per officials There should be no ex-
 rule of cleanliness inside and outside of the home.-Ansopia Sentinel.
 Whether there is moral justice in permitting the fortunate members of a private social club to enjoy rights on Sunday, or at any other time, which are denied others not fortunate enough to join a club is another mat | ter. We have never felt that it was 1 just. We are not unInindful of the 1 philosophy whioh has supported the opposite view but we have never been tion of the rights of private clubs un- der the law as it is. And it is with the law that Judge Hall is dealing. = | New Haven JoHrnal-Courier.
 | Most of the trouble with roads comes from impatience. The people want i something which will bear travel next tiles. The road built bears trave next week, but next year it is full o1 holes. What is needed is a road building policy like that of the an ;4 cient Romans, whose roads are usable after nearly 2,00O years. The amouni hasty Tnakesh1fts, and in dishonestly built limitations, would build a gceG
 many piles of permanent and Satis
 factory roal1ways every year. - Wa terbury Republican.
 ; Points of theology over which dis pute has ragged for centuries still serv ! to hold apart in this world those wh deyoutly believe they will all meet il the next. Simple followers of tn : faith are slightly disturbed by thi 2 condition, save as they are taught t accept the Sectarian conclusions tha 9 have multiplied the creeds. These ar 2 the outstanding features of the gener 2 al situation. The solution rests wit ' the preachers, who are the chief dis E putants and who confess thenselve able to agree on the central dogma : but not on it's radiations. The actio ' of the Baptists, the Methodists an y the Presbyterians in their recent see T sons may be leading forward to th : great union Of all creeds and a con @ sequent impetus to the general ez : pansion of their faith, but the pro D gress is slow.-Torrington Register. e Those who live in fine surrounding IS are to apt to think themselves in 's mune, to s7lun the Tower sections l. the city and to believe the problem
