THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
To the Churches of the State of Con-
 necticut, Greetings:

To the Churches of the State of Con- necticut, Greetings:
 Our country stands today face to face with the possibility that it may be forced to become a party to the great struggle which is raging in Europe Our President has striven nightly to avert this catastrophe, and, to that end, has left nothing undone which he might in honor do. 1t is my earnest hope, as it must be that of all right thinking people, that we may yet escape. But we would be blind if we did not recognize the dread possibili- ties in our situation, and we would be false to the responsibilities which be- long to us if we did not face honestly the future, and do what each of us can to prepare against whatever need may arise.
 Feeling the responsibility which rests upon me as governor, l lave sought from the Legislature permission to have made an examination of tue resources of the state in men and ma terial. available in the event of war. The first step involves the gathering of information as to the number of men in the state whose services might be made useful, not necessarily, or per- haps principally. in the actual battle line, but in all the occupations which have become incident to modern war fare. Because l recognize that the churches of Connecticut count among their members and attendants the people whose influence as whole can, perhaps, do more than that of any other body of its citizens. I have de. cided to make u direct appeal to you to assist in this work. ask that no man shall prove unwilling to give the i'm formation which may be asked of him; l ask that all men, and the women as well, may use their influence to make easy and complete its gathering; l ask that any men who are SO situated that they can give time to the work may 1 freely offer their services. I have never lost faith m the patriotism of the people of Connecticut; and the response which has already been made to the call which has been issued has justified my faith; but hope that as the days go on, the willingness of all our people to join together in the common under taking of making ready against what ever fate the future may hold will be. come ever clearer. have not forgotten that our God is still the God of Love, and our Prince, the Prince of Peace; would have the earnest prayers of all directed to the maintenance of peace; l would have them seek for everyone in authority the fullest measure of divine guidance. But, as I believe that this country has a mission to perform in the world, so believe that it is the duty of every one who claims citizenship in it to so aot that its destiny shall not be stayed.
 M. H. Holcomb, Governor.

Game of Piu Bones.

One of the pet games played by Rus sian children is known as babki, or pig bones. It is similar to the American game of tenpins, but the bones of q pigs leg are used On the vast Rus sian estates, where the peasants make many of the toys for the masters chi- dren, the bones from the legs of pigs are thus utilized.

LET MEMORIAL DAY BE
WHOLLY FOR DEAD HEROES
Every Dawson Flower on That Day
Should Decorate the Grave of
a Sleeping Soldier.

An earnest appeal is made to the
women of Dawson by the committee
having in hand plans for memorial
day that on April 26th every flower
in the city be sent to the court house
to be used only for soldiers graves.
There are three hundred and sixty
four days in the year that we may
cover the mounds of our loved ones
with flowers. Only one day is set
aside to honor the memory of those
who sacrificed their lives on the
altar of their country. 1t is
strange but true that on this sacred
occasion it has been the custom IN
Dawson for m any people to
spend their time identifying with
the choicest flowers their pri-
vate lots. For the sake of the living
heroes lettering on the brink of the
grave let us give this day entirely
to the cause of the Confederacy
Honor the war veterans still with
US by giving your flowers to cover
the graves of their sleeping com.
rades.
Any woman who thinks a moment
will see the reasonableness of this
urgent request and we believe every
one will gladly give every blossom
as a tribute to the spirit of the men
''who wore the gray"

MEMORIAL DAY
PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
BOTH ENTERTAINING AND IN
STRUCTIVE. HON. MURPHY
GAMBLER WILL SPEAK.

Mrs. j. M. Griggs, chairman of
the committee arranging for Memo
rial day, is being congratulated on
making such a happy selection in a
speaker for the occasion.
Mr.. Gambler, who is chairman of
the railroad commission, has served
his state in many positions of honor,
and is generally regarded as a man
of the highest integrity, broadly cul-
tured and patriotic to the core. His
coming to Dawson is a matter of in
terest to all classes of citizens.
The program below is one of the
best ever arranged for Memorial day
here, and it is expected that one of
the largest crowds ever gathered in
Dawson to honor the memory of
Confederate heroes will enjoy these
fine numbers:
Prayer, DR.. T. B. Stanford; Geor-
gla school song, by the school; Con-
federate souvenir flags to veterans
by children of the confederacy; Mu-
sic, medley of patriotic airs and
home songs by Gibson Mandolin Or
chestra; Music, 'Sing Me a Song of
| the South" Quartette accompanied
by orchestra; Introduction of speak
er, Col Warren Parks; Address, Hon.
Murphy Gambler; america" by au-
dience; Tableau, "Our Flag" Boy
Scouts and Children of Confederacy
in charge of Rev. w. P. McElroy,
Scout Master; Closing prayer, Rev.
T, M, Galloway.
Exercises will begin promptly at
2:30 o'clock at the court house.
This is momentous time in the
history of our country and would it
not be a beautiful tribute to South
ern valor if every place Of business
would close, so that all might parti-
cipate in this "labor of love?"
If the Germans are to be settled
nothing better could be done than to
| keep alive the spirit of the sixties,
| as exemplifed by the men of the
South during that period. If their
sons prove worthy of such sires those
who have nagged "Uncle Sam" past
endurance will be chased off the
may, or Southern soldiers will know
| the reason why.

ice, and was en- route from the avia.
ton training school at Pensacola,
Fla, to Raleigh, N. G.
DIR. Pace says the aeroplane evil
IDENTITY lighted in the field near his
residence, as he plainly heard the
swish of the machine as it rode the
air on departing.
He states that the aviator, on ar
rival, circled the city twice before
he came to earth. He remarked to
the doctor that he was convinced
that the people of Dawson were the
soundest sleepers he had ever known,
for not single light did he see fash
on to discover the source of the noise
made by his machine on his arrival.
The News has heard of others who
say they were awakened about that
hour by the whirring noise as if
something Of unusual size and speed
was travelling through the air.

Preservation Of Composition.

Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, holds
that the further extension of federal
authority over the railroads would be
step in the direction of government
ownership. He advanced the view that
the Capitalization of control in the
hands OF the national government
would impose too great a burden upon
the regulating body, would offer strong
temptation TO railroads 10 interfere Ia
politics and would encourage the gen
eral movement toward Capitalization
of power in the federal government at
tne expense Of the states. He said that
he did not object to consultations of
railroad lines SO long as they did not
destroy competition. that he knew Of
no complaint against great railway
systems because OF their size and that
he believed that the preservation OF
competition was the test to be applied
to all consultations.

Regulation Of Securities.

Mr. Bryan declared himself in favor
OF national regulation of railway stock
and bond issues, but added that he saw
no reason why that should exclude the
states from acting on the same sub
ject as to state corporations. Il would
like TO see the stock OF railroad, as
long as it is in private hands, made as
substantial and as unyarying as the
value of government bond.' he as
serted.
He suggested that railroad capitali-
cation be readjusted to equalize it with
actual valuation of the property rep
resented, making due allowance for
equities, and that when this was done
the roads should be allowed to earn
sufficient income to keep their stock
at par and to create a surplus. The
latter, he tentatively proposed. might
be allowed to amount to % per cent
OF the capital.

Against Government Ownership.

PERSONALLY ! cannot say that | de.
sire government ownership" lie ex-
pialned, because | lean to the indi-
vidual idea rather than to the collec-
1--WE idea: rflat is. | believe that gov
eminent ownership is desirable only
where competition is impossible"
Alfred F. Thorn. counsel to the Rail
way Executives Advisory Committee,
previously had presented before the
members of the Newlands Committee
as one of his reasons for urging d bet
ter balanced and more systematic reg
ulation OF railroads the argument that
this is the only alternative to govern
ment ownership. Calling attention to
the restrictions imposed upon the
transportation lines by conflicting state
laws and regulations, to the practical
cessation of new construction and to the
impossibility under existing conditions
OF securing the new capital needed for
extensions and betterments of railway
facilities, he warned the Congressmen
that unless they provided a fair and
reasonable system of regulation that
would enable the railroads to meet the
growing needs of the country's bust
ness the national government would
be compelled to take over the owner
ship OF the lines with all the evils at
tendant upon such system
