THE MAN WHO TALKS

by any human standard It is not, un- common on any pleasant day to see an 1 hydro -aeroplane passing over Long Isl- l and sound. This c0ntrivance combines | the hydrcplane with the aeroplane. Fig l uratively speaking, it can fly and swim. 1 Tt is very wise in making more of the l air than the water. Viewed at the dis l tance of a mile or more it makes d l very impressive sight apparently skip ping along the surface of the sea at about the rate of mile a minute. It seems to cut lightly through the crest of the waves, but as a matter of fact it flies parallel to them but just above them. In case of emergency it can ma noeuver in the water. It can attain 1 great speed because the most dangerous result of accident-that of falling is entirely cut out Nobody is nosing about to peek at the speedometer. Safety. in speed increases just in proportion as liability to accident decreases. In all this there is a great moral: Secure the greatest safety possible and then speed up.
 It is impossible to ovorestfmAte the serious duty which the nineteenth amendment imposes on women. The re- cent action of the Connecticut legisIa- ture closes all discussion as to the ie- gality or eonstitutionality of the amend ment. The burning question now is what does the nations womani1oed pro- pose to do with the newly-created is- sue? This new law renders such terms as -'suffra gist'' and "anti-suffrag gist'' obsolete Both terms have been merged into the word ''citizen." Can the 0ppo- nents of this act so far forget their deep dislilzes and bitter animosities, as to become igood' citizens and do their duty at the polls? Let us devoutly hope that women will not take their cue from the so-called superior sex who vote only 1 when it is convenient Let us not in crease the already great and cowardly army of dodgers slackers and drones
 who would be disenfranchised is they | had their just deserts. Would that such l noble pioneers as Susan B. Anthony,
 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other noble l workers were alive to celebrate this day. l As it is perhaps they have seen of "the 1 travail of their souls and are satisfied '' 1 Nothing in all the world is more ] wonderful than the human heart as seen | in the depth of it's feelings and the range of it's stsceptibilities. It is ex- I ceedingly rare to run across person in any station of life or in any part of l the world who is utterly devoid of
 kindly instincts. Suppose you have a
 cold in the head or on the lungs, or a I touch of lumbago, or a twinge of neu- I ritis in your little finger or something
 that turns the stomach into lead. Now
 what resulta if your kind. neighbors
 hear of your aiIment? Do they let you Esuffer in silence? or in the kindness of
 their hearts do they suggest some rem iedy? Within an hour you will have enough specifies to swim in. Mark
 Twain once said that he took all the
 remedies for cold that his friends sug.
 gested and as result he came very linear losing his immortal soul Moral

 There are many ways in which one
 may help the place he lives in The word boom is open to some objection It is too much like the word "infiate" something that has momentary or fc- ] titious value. To merely .'boon1'' a
 place is not apt to give it any perma. I nent value. If we can gain any valia- ble lessons from many now deserted , western towns, 1t is that they were first
 boomed and then exploited and a town
 like corporation, that has been work ed'' or exploited sooner or later bursts like bubble. Norwich, in the past : has suffered from enterprises that wert 7 not successful. They were boomed but $ they added nothing to the organic II obAOtA5tiA Ol tIlE SltS ClblSF IllTOuSH tax
 ation or by population We can always |, help our town by saying good things
 about it. We can come before the peo.
 pie with some definite and tangible plar Il that will awaken public interest. The people want to see some concrete objept ei to work for. A power loom has nt r practical value unless it is actually t weaving cloth.
 . The eyes of the nation, perhaps of al T the civilized world have been recently e fixed on New York city. All right mind
 ed people sincerely hope the recent ex S plosion will be found to have been ac fl cidental According to evidence thus = far submitted, however, this seems tt
 be almost an irrational hope. As it nor . and more points to a plot, iye are com . pelled to ask in amazement. why q plot l What could the perpetrators possibl. 5, gain by it?

 The clarity of the atmosphere 1
 these September days is something rt ,. narkable. It gives vigor to the bloc : Which dog days facilitated There no season of the year when the ses

 practical hygiene that can hardly be d o. plicated. After such a September ba
