NEED SHEEP MORE THAN DOCS

The efforts which are being made
 to bring about a revival of sheep rafs-
 ing in the New England states have by no means subsided. The fact that. opposition is being experienced through the belief upon the part of Eome that such an industry cannot be
 successfully engaged in because of the menace from dogs is simply mak- ing those who are pushing the matter all the more determined that this problem of dogs must be handled in a different manner from what it is at present. They are apparently work ing under the well founded belief that if it can be demonstrated that the sheep industry can be revived and that those who engage therein will be satisfactorily compensated for their efforts and for their investments, the undertaking will succeed.
 Up in Massachusetts the state board of agriculture has succeeded in se- H1lring about a quarter of the 10000 Oregon sheep which the National Tex tie association brought east for the purpose of inspiring new interest in this business. This serves to in crease the number of sheep in that state to an appreciable extent and will undoubtedly arouse a deeper in terest in the raising of sheep both for the wool and for the mutton, since both are commanding excellent prices. But what is now needed is the devo- ton of greater attention to the regu- lation of the dogs and the eliminati ton of that menace. Attention is being directed to that end. but in Massa- chusetts as well as in other states, in cludfag Connecticut, sight cannot be lost of the fact that for the most part the sheep are of much greater value | and importance than the dogs which are doing so much to drive out the in dustry.

MEMORIALS AND PARKS

"pIeasant pIacesr for the purposes designated-this chaid of little parks extending from Bean Hill te Laurel Hill-eack unique in it's way and of mated by their present worth, MT. Gil- man remarks; but it will inevitably be enhanced with each succeeding year.
 The park system of Norwich wac crowned in June, 1906, by the acquisf- tion of about 200 acres of natural woodland in the center of the city, the free gift. of the owners of the pp- perty, whose names are recorded as among the great benefactors of Nor wich: Dr. John A. Rockwell, the fam fly of Rev: L.. W. Bacon. Mrs. Henry L. Reynolds, Gen; Edward Hafland, J. Edith M. and Fannie R. Bliss and Mrs. Henry R. Bond. At the same time the city made an appropriation of s7,50o for the construction of two ap breaches and for the purchase of
 IL was. proposed that the park should bear the name of pr. Rockwell, but he declined, the honor and at his suggestion Mes the appropriate name of park commissioners-in 19O9-were Joseph T. Tanning, William A. Nor ton, Rev. Nelson Poe Carey, Hen.:s r. Parker, Henry A. Tirre1l, and Dr. T.. missioncrs still remaining on the board. They serve without compen- sation, and the majority of them have been in cffice since the beginning
 Fortunate indeed above all others, writes MT. Gilman, is the city of Nor wich. in the possession of truly rural woodland park within it's limits of such extent and so easily assessible from every every side-"the common pleasures. where all the people and their heirs forever. may walk abroad and recreate themselves!" The natu- ral lay of the land, the varied sur face, rocky cliffs, we'll grown forest trees, and broad lake, have enabled the commissioners, by stric: economy and good taste. to utilize the small annual appropriation hitherto made by the city to the greatest possible advantage for the needs and pleasures of all classes in the community.

THE MOSCOW CONFERENCE.

In session but a few days, the great conference at Moscow has been brought to sudden close. It had been predicted that it would amount to nothing, Premier Kerensky declared that it had produced no practical re- suits and it is difficult to understand how it could have in the short time that it was in session. But it is pos- sible that it will show much greater results than are anticipated.
 It is to be remembered that it has brought forth a declaration of loyalty upon the part of many of the peoples of Russia and it has shown that they are ready to stand shoulder to shoul- dr for the upholding of the new gov- ernment and as an example to oth- CTS who do not see as clearly the duty before them.
 It has at the same time resulted in a setting forth of the conditions which are existing in the army today and a presentation of the needs for remedy ing the situation, which might not have been possible in any other way It has resulted in greater publicity than might otherwise have resulted had the same story been told to the government officials alone, but it is possible that this very publicity will be the means of bringing the peo- pie and through them their represen- tatives to a realization of their sense of duty.
 And in addition Russia has been allowed to get 2 new idea of the de- plorable state into which it's trans portation systems have fallen, from all of which it is possible that the people themselves will realize the necessity of putting, forth greater and more concerted efforts for repel1ing the enemy.

rRAlMlNa coLonap rnoops.

It cannot be considered surprising that some of the soutAsrn cfties, to which 1t is claimed colo3ed troops are to be sent for training, arc making their protests to the government. The race feeling in the south is well known and with the trouble at Hous- ton fresh in mind 1t is perhaps only natural that they should show some concern and do what they consider necessary in an effort to prevent more trouble of that character. V
 Regardless of whether there should be the feeling between the blacks and whites in tho south, 1t nevertheless exists and it will be long time be- fore 1t will be eradfcated. With this thoroughly understood there would appear to be good reason back of southern cities endeavor to pre- vent trouble, especially after the ex- perience of the Texas capital where q large share of the responsibility for the clash has through investigation been attributed to the colored troops, who even exceeded the famous shoot ing up of Brownsville.
 The colored troops are capable of making good fighters. They are anxious to do their part and they are entitled to receive the training and discipline that will make them efficient soldiers. If there are localities where such can be received without the liability of trouble such as m1gh. be expected in southern cit ies, it would appear to be the part of wisdom for the government to make such selections, while on the other hand any community which Is select cd for such purpose should do it's utmost to make the best of the situa- tion and exerctee proper self control. It is no time to stir up race antag- onism.

 There are those who maintain that war is necessary about once in so often in order to keep a people from becoming spiritless and fiabby. Is the cure worse than the disease? Null titudes will say so, especially those who send dear lads to the front-and who will blame them? We shall all desire in life are certain great quail ties bred in war. rather than war it. self.

If only we might have the virtues of old Sparta, without the ever-present Spartan. sword and shield! .,-
 of the Frenchman, Henri Perreyve. when he exclaimed in an address to the military students of St. Cyr: If only all the strength, all the science, the gravc blood expended in one great battle could be used in accordance with the knowledge and inspiration of God!"
 Just that may some day come about Let us hope and believe so. The cour- age required to fire guns and to face them may be employed in humane uses for the service of the world. The age of war may prove to have been a fight not alone against flesh and blood enemies. but against feebleness, crip- bling luxury. the softness that disin- tegrateS character.
 Then war will be seen to have a deeper meaning than any mortal can discern in it now, and yield it's only understandn ble benefit. It will, in some sense. continue and advance the work of Him who endured the cross despising the shame and testified by the shedding of His own blood to life's values.

THE cHirp LABOR LAW.

This is the day when the new fed era1 child labor law goes into effect whereby children under IA cannot be employed in any factory, mill, work shop or cannery in the country whose products are to be shipped in inter- state commerce. and no child under 16 can be employed in any mine or quarry, while the working day of children of IA and 16 years in factor ies must not be longer than eight hours and their employment between the hours of z p. m. and a. m. is forbidden.
 This is the measure which met with such strong opposition from the fac- tory owners of the south. the section of the country where conditions were such as to require the passage of this law. It was needed for the protec- tion of the children that they may get the opportunity which they should have for an education and that they may be saved from the detrimental effects of long hours in factory em- ployment
 In view of the fight which was made against the law. it is not surprising that there should now be a deter mined effort made upon the part of the southern mill owners to have the legislation declared unconstitutional such as is being made by one of the large corporations employing children. It is in keeping with the policy which the south has persistently clung to regardless of the advance which other sections of the country have been making. It is not intended to part with this advantage which has been possessed of getting profitable returns from the practice of making slaves of the young and for that reason countrywide. interest will be manifest ed in the outcome of the test. The welfare of the children and the best interests of the nation require the up holding of the law.

MEDICAL STUDENTS.

' Another move for the purpose of
 straightening out one of the incon-
 sistent features. connected with the
 raising of the national army by selec-
 tion was made when General Crowder
 ruled that hospital internes and med ica1 students who have been more than a year at college may be ex- empted from military service under the selective draft bill. This action has been taken as the result of the widespread protests which have been made~ against the taking of such men whose services are bound to be of whose services are bound to be of such value to the country later on both at home and at the front in a capacity for which they are better fitted. It is in the Nine of the profession for which they are studying that they can be of the greatest service and there is no question but what they are going to be needed in view of the fact that doctors and hospital attendants are being called for in such large. num- bers.
 Tn order to get around the fact that no provision is made for their exemp- tion in the bill they are to enter the service and then upon the action of the boards they are to be discharged or granted leaves for the purpose Of their studies and perfect ing their educations. Some commu- nities even feared that by the call ing of such students into the army that the doctors and 1nternes would be so reduced in the next year or two that both the nation and the army would suffer and it is well that steps have been taken to nip such a blum Her in the bud.

Sunday Morning Talk
THE FIGHTING EDGE,

The historian, Seneca, tells of the rich Roman noble who. when lifted from his hot bath by slaves and set on g. luxurious couch, asked. languid- sitting down?" The luxury of the mans life had not left him enough Vitality to comprehend whether he was sitting or standing up.
 We grant the case to be an extreme one, and yet Gibbon believed that the decline and fall Of the Roman Elm pire was to be explained in the light of such an Incident. The baths had so enervated the populace that all the old time stalwart virtues had faded away. Caesars hardy legionaries, con- tent to wash in icy rivers or tie drench1ng rain, were fit for conquest. Their pleasure-loving descendants, ad- dicted to perfumed baths within mar ble halls, could not even hold the ter ritory won for them. Luxury had un- dermined the very foundations of char acter. Of such people it might be said,' as of ancient Israel, "The harp, the flute, and wine are in the feasts, but they regard not the work of Je- hoyah." Before Rome's fall and for similar reasons, Assyria and Babylon had perished.
 That individual is doomed who is no longer capable of denying appe- tites or making sacrifcial effort Lapped in luxury, he is already dead while he seems to live. People in the world who have to work and to think are people really alive. To be able to "scorn delights and live laborious days" is an essential mark of vigor. To keep trying is to keep growing. To be rid of any need TOT effort, to have everything one wants, may sound like Utopia, Eut it is one that shades off toward extinction.
 Luxury will, doubtless, not be so much in evidence in the Uniaes States in the coming years as in those just gone. It ought not to be- The lazy, pampered life Of plutocratic circles will be broken in upon. A shock is due those who had made the world too snug, comfortable and enervatiEg.
