Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27
MILFORD. FRIDAY, NOV. 27. 1925:

TO GIVE opportunity for the en-
ployees of the Milford Chronicle to
observe Thanksgiving, the paper is
being sent to the mail on Thursday
morning, instead of in the evening.
This has made it necessary to hus-
tie the work of making the paper.
DoS
EARNEST expression shows con-
fidence in the subject under discus
sion, but we must learn to state our
opinions humbly and with due re-
spect to others; above all, be chari-
table. A voice that habitually
"sharps" and flats" will ruin any
choir, and an intOlerant rasping
spirit, will ruin any circle in which
it moves. Criticism of policies or
acts of public officials, especially in
town like Milford needs to be
considered before given voice.

IT HAS been said that the dream
er lives forever but the toiler dies
in a day. No wonder Thackary de-
clared that the world is a looking
glass and gives back to every man
the reflection of his face. FrOwn at
it and it in turn will look sourly
upon you; Taught at it, and it be-
comes a jolly companion. At this
season of thanksgiving, all should
try to see the bright side of all sides
of life; see the brightness in busi-
ness as well as in social life and
thanksgiving viii have an entirely
new meaning for the world and all
of US as individuals.

JUST a bit of winter weather for
THANKSGIVING. Snow flurries are
due from now on and the people
who have to use soft coal will save
much inconvenience, by making a |
careful study of how to burn btu
minous coal in their furnaces and |
stoves. A brief but clear state
ment giving this information has |
beer. received by the Milford Chron-
icle from authority in burning soft
coal, which will be published in the
next issue of this paper. It comes
from Pi1sburg, Pa, from a large
mining and shipping concern, and
may be relied upon to get the best
results, if the information is fol-
lowed

THE modern city needs the
strength and vitality of the coun-
try boy and absorbs some of the
best materials of youth from that
source; but that country boy who
thinks of escaping the supposed
isolation and toll of the farm, by l
plunging into the ceaseless whirl of
q city, entertains the widest sort
Of dreams. Yet it is the restless y
ness of youth driving them out for =
personal experience with the wider
,Nrcle of the business world. Many
et0rn to from whence they came,
'theHs sink into the day laborer y
lass, while just few climb to sue Ii
ess in varying stages. The Oppor- q
unities for reaching high stations u
xist in the country; the cities have N
10 monopoly of reward for patient u
abor and application to business. p

THERE ARRIVED in Washington -
he other day a group of individuals ~ *
yho seek to secure for the Filipinos "
heir independence. This body of ei
len, known as the Special Indepen- u
ence Commission, are frank in p'
tating that their purpose here is "
D try and persuade Congress to o'
rGht their independence. They will O'
o doubt issue propaganda and cir %
llate it throughout the United u'
tates. There is a grave doubt in I'll
le minds of many legal experts as III
} the right of Congress to grant vi
to the PHILIPPINES. In 0'
le opinion of many the only way Va
lat the PHILIPPINES can be separ- ai
ted from the United States is by I'd
lie adoption of a constitutional VI
nendment, because sovereignty "
les not rest in Congress but in the I'D
sople If one will read the Con- a.
itution it will be seen that the -
amers of that famous document I'll
d not intend that Congress should ce
i've such powers. In fact, in 1888,
e time of the Virginia Constitu-
onal Convention, such an amend ~
ent failed of adoption. pr
Whether or not the Filipinos have ga
rived at a point where they can IN
operly govern themselves is ques-
)ned by many. In addition to that pa
ere remains the legal phase of the du
Iestion. ."
