FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN

The appropriations committee o.
the state serate has been bending
backwards in The interest OF eco
nomy. To get an appropriation
through that committee requires
tho wisdom o. mystic and the
.orce OF a pile driver. But occasion
ally II can be done. 1t is to the
cred. OF the committee that the
largest appropriation for state insti-
buttons 1t has recommended is
$500. 900 for the Newington Home
:or Crippled Children.
II Is difficult to sainsay the
plea. o, a crippled q, d; and this
is what III needs OF Y Newington
home amount TO. The hildren IN
that institution must bs lken care
o. to the best OF the st> g ability,
regardless OF expense. M q citizen
in the state would begrudge the
money necessary TO maintain the
Newin yton home in the best and
most adequate manner.
The fact that the home Is virtu-
ally a part OF New Britain, Newing-
ton being 80 CLOSE in to this city
as to be a suburb, has no influence
whatever upon what we think about
the appropriation. 1t is not a New.
ington or New Britain matter, but
a state matter. If the home were
situated In Winsted or even
Canaan the same rules would apply.
The states duty by crippled chill
drea must never be neglected.

TRICK vs.. RAILROADS

It was some railroad executive,
perhaps, who said the other day
that trucks could not economically
haul goods more than rs miles. 1t
Is no uncommon thing 10 find men
believing and saying things they
want to believe and say and ignor-
ing self-evident facts that would
turn them into other channels OF
thought. This executive simply said
something that he hoped would be
true as gospel. but which he must
have realized was open to daily
proof to the Contrary.
Instead OF curblng their activities
and doing business within a radius
OF only IS miles. the truck interests
are steadily increasing the radius.
Hauling goods economically de-
Ponds upon more than the cost OF
getting the goods from one termin-
al to another. The cost OF getting
them rom door TO car, and from
car TO terminal on the other end
amounts TO something. usually, Il
railroads are used between the ter
'ninals, 1t means loading and I'M
oading upon trucks twice. The
economy Of only one loading and
unloading must pay for consider
able rpiles o, travel When the Gle
ment Of time IS added. the trucks
have another important advantage,
Il The railroads would come out

reasonable area, that would be the
only effective manner Of competing
with the trucks for comparatively
shor'haul business This. however.
they are reluctant TO do, II would
leave less o, a margin for the rail
aaul and would be synonymous
with decrease In rates over the
rails.
That je.as the case. the truck
business continues to prosper. 1t is
developing. expanding, under our
very cyes. Ever 80 often one hears
and reads OF ner lines being ostab-
llshed, which make regular trips
over territory far in excess o. 10
miles.
In spite OF this competition from
the trucks, the railroads are pros
pering on the whole. This may be
entirely duo to the fact that the
need for hauling goods Just now is
abnormal. The effort to dccry

WHAT OUTBREAKS TEACH
THE GoPEL

Lutherans teach that the Gospel is not a new or higher law, but the spe- cial revelation of that which a loving and merciful God through Christ has done, and still does, for the salvation of mankind; that it freely offers to all sinners the righteousness which is in Christ Jesus; and that it will save for ever those who trustingly accept it's promises.
