THE VIRTUE OF CHARITY

One of the unfoltunat by-products of pro-
longed period of stress and strain is that men
grow irritable and short tempered, that they lose
their sense of humor and become bitter and in
tolerant After ALL there is virtue greater than
that charity which "suffereth long and is kind
Honest men may honestly differ about a thou
sand things. Not all trust magnates are robber
baronS not all politicians are grafters not all So
eialsts are revolutionsts. good deal of hysteria
is evident in the public temper of our time. The
war passions have not yet wholly subsidized The
economic depression of the past four years is IL
reality due to the fact that the bills sooner OF
later will have to be paid The emotional unrest,
the fears, hatreds jeaouses revolutions, political
upheavals are part of the same debt.
Even the economic depression is largely state
of mind. Human needs are what they always were,
Human effort is required to supply them. In one
form or another value received is still available
as basis of exchange. If we are big enough to
be content with simpler living to be patient while
intricate problems are being solved, to admit that
our neighbors even across national frontiers, are
presumably as honest as are, we shall make
progress toward stability and sound social order.
The supreme need of the world today is for mu-
tual understanding and mutual confidence. The
first step in that direction is the simple virtue OF
charity the willingness to see the other mans
point of view, to desire his welfare no less than
our own. Add the other virtue of patience. and
make sure of our own fundamental honesty of pur-
pose, and civilization may yet be saved.-Mnne-

The challenge of a series of earth
cuakes which shook northern
Utah recently.
The organization, which con-
sists OF several units, including
the Self Lake Visiting Nurse AS

and CWA workers specially train
ed in first cid, will, according to
John NJ. knight, commissioner Of
public safety, be ready to answer

similar organization of the Amer

The organization will be under
the direct supervision Of city Of

nounced that plans for immediate
action have been completed.

BEST SELLERS ARE NOT ALWAYS
BEST BOOKS
CBY BRUCE CATTON)

One of the troubles with Collecting an
elaborate set of statistics is that half OF
the time you can't figure out what they
mean after you've got them collected.
A list of the 65 best sellers in the Amer
can book market since 1875 was drawn up
recently for the Institute of Arts and Sci
ences by Edward Weeks. And the longer
one scrutinizeS this crOSS-section Of the ma
TONS literary tastes the less confident one
feels of drawing any deduction from it. 81.
The all-time best seller, to begin with.
is the Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon's In His
Steps," which has sold 100000 copies.
Second, fourth and fifth places are held by
Gene Stratton Porter's books, "Freckles," "
'"The Girl of the Limberlost," and "The
Harvester" ....
That old reliable. Der Hur," places
third. Mark Twain's tom Sawyer" is
sixth, closely followed by Harold Bell
Wright's "The Winning of B arh ira
Worth"
And so it goes. That best of all western
romances, Owen Wister's THE Virginian,'
is we'll up toward the top; but book like
Mrs. Porter's 'Laddie'' is ahead of It.
Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" which
competent critics have called the greatest
of American novels, ranks high with
total sale of million copies; but it is out
classed, among others by such book as
Give Little Peppers and How Ihey
Crew." by Margaret Sidney.
Non-fction titles are fairly we'll repre-
sented. Edward Bellamy's famous Look
ing Backward for instance. has sold
100000 copies, and Wells Outline OF
History" has sold 6S4,0OO; but "Polly-
anna" has sold a round million, and "The
Rosary" better than 100000.
Trying to deduce anything from these
figures is difficult. Good books are on the
list, in profusion; so are unutterably bad
books, and a great many that are neither
one nor the other.
You could argue that America likes
sugary optimism in its books, and support
your argument by citation Of titles; but
such books as Cali Quiet on the Western
Front" and Main Street" are there on the
list to refute you.
What does it all mean, then? Nothing
much, probably. The American reading
public is pretty omnivorous. 1t devours
good books and it deyours trash. g
About all one can safely say, apparent
", is that the best seller lists don't mean
thing.

men have argued with me about
non-partisan municipal govern
ment. l believed in non-partlsan
local government; they did not.
They felt that all government
should be party government, and
when they said party govern
ment," they meant, of course,
government by their party; Incl,
dentally they and | belonged and
still belong to the same political
party. But with me, the welfare
of the party is entirely secondary
to the welfare of the public. Ii
party welfare interfcres nth
public welfare, then say, "to
| the deuce with the party" When
political party reaches the point
where its welfare conflicts with
public welfare, then that party
should either reconstruct It's pol
lev to conform to public welfare
or the party should be abolished.
In other words, l intend to be a
patriot before l am a partisan.
But during the past three
weeks, those two men l am writ
! ing about. said this to be in sub
stance: eve are convinced that
| it is impossible to have party
government in this city and not
have ring government. We are
convinced that if our city gov
eminent is changed from non
partisan to partisan, it will go IN
to the control Of that old political
ring, which has done us incalcul-
able damage. We believe that
the only way to keep this munich
palitv out of the hands of the
self seeking, public exploiting old
ring is to have a form of govern
ment in which the better class of
Democrats and the better class of
Republicans can join forces and
work together in the primaries
and in the general elections for
men who can believe that it is
only on this basis, for the time
being at least, that we can pre-
serve political and governmental
decency in this city"
Now the foregoing statement,
coming from those two men, is
particularly significant to me, as
it indicates beyond the shadow of
a doubt that there is a change
for the better taking place to-
ward government in the minds of
thinking people.
! The ranks Of the zone hundred
percenters" are becoming thin
ned. The zone hundred percent
ers," you know. are the boys who
always vote the straight ticket,
regardless; they do no thinking
for themselves; they let 'the
party" leaders do their thinking
for them. The leaders may get
together and cook up a ticket
composed of men they can han
die immorally. yet the zone hum
| dred percenters" will vote the
straight ticket, thus encouraging
and perpetuating governmental
indecency and political rotten
ness. There is actually no sensi-
BILE reason why the zone hundred
percenter" should ever go to the
polls but once in his life; he
i might Just as well when he first
registers at the age of 81 cast
his vote then and there perma-
nently for "the party" ticket fof
the rest of his life and forget it,

ELMER WILL NOT
 ACT AS TRAFFIC COP IN FUTURE
His Existence Terminated in WaterviIle w hen
 Truck Gave Him K. 0.

A traffic policeman saw his days of active service end this morning when he refused to move from the path of an oncoming truck, re- mem bering the orders he had been given never to budge from the spot where he was placed. He was sta toned at the intersection of Thom- aston avenue, Huntingdon avenue and Homer street, in Waterville and all night, through the terrific downpour of rain, he remained faithfully at his post.
 He was a handsome officer and he made an imposing figure as he stood majestically, facing streams of traffic. Whistle dangling at his belt, his hand directed drivers to proceed around him to the right. Courteous to the nth degree, he had never been known to bawl out a driver.
 Elmer" he was called at police headquarters, and they spoke in hushed whispers of his size and his exploits. Eight feet tall, he was at once imposing and impressive. Brave, indeed, was the driver, who would dare Haunt Elmer"

MARY PICKFORD STAMPS HER FOOT

Chicago. Aug. 11.-UP) Mary Mary Pickford laughed and then became genuinely angry when in- formed that she had been sued for S250,000 in New York by Edward Hemmer. her self-styled foster father and former manager.
 Pausing in her packing for a re- turn to Hollywood. Miss Pickford stamped a foot in emphasis as she declared that "I'll not settle this case for as much as postage stamp"
 Hemmer's story of chasing Douglas Fairbanks from her dress ing room on Hollywood lot at the point of a revolver won a hearty laugh.
 "He should be making a very fine living as scenario writer" Miss Pickford commented. He has a colorful imagination.
 "Hemmer was employed by mother and me just as hundreds of Ot;-ers were employed. He was paid a salary regularly and I have the cancelled checks to prove it. He has no other claim."
 Miss Pickford said Hemmer left her employ II years ago flor 6 very good reason"

ARCHDUKE OTTO IN NEW ROMANCE

Rome. Aug. 11-(UP) - The marriage of the Archduke Otto to the Princess Maria of Italy 'as soon as Otto ascends the Austrian throne" was widely predicted to- day in usually well informed cir cles.
 Otto's restoration is regarded, however, as an absolute pre-req- uisite to the alliance.
 Pope Plus, it isb understood, is highly favorable to the match, which would link two devout Ro- man Catholic royal families. It IS also reported that the Pope has en- couraged the former Empress Zita in her claims to the throne for her son.
 The former hostility of Italy to the Hapsburg family appears to be disappearing. and it Is considered certain that when and If Otto IS recalled to Vienna, the king of Italy will readily give his consent to the betrothal. which would be announced at once.

Tluo Youngsters Taken To Hospital To-day
One Has Pneumonia, Caused By Swallowing Grape Seed-Second Lad Fell on Bottle and
 LaCerated His Wrist Badly

Victims of two unusual accidents were at Waterbury hospital early this afternoon. one suffering from pneumonia which developed from Irritation caused by a swallowed fgrape seed, the other with his wrist badly iacerated as the result of a fall on bottle this morning. Both are youngsters.
 Charles Lanzo, seven year old son of James LanZo of 115 Lamont street, swallowed a grape seed sev- eral days ago and X-rays show that the seed, caught in the lung, caused an irritation which led to pneumonia. Doctors early this aft ernoon will attempt to remove the tiny seed from the boys lung in difficult operation.
 Arthur Raimo, 10 year old son of Antony Raimo of 1888 North Main street, received a bad gash along his right wrist and arm when he fell down while carrying a galoln jug of water to his home this morning. The jug broke and the glass went deeply into the lads S arm. The wound cannot be stitch ed until the boy has recovered his an anaesthetic.
 The pneumonia case, it was said at the hospital, is one of the most unusual ones ever reported at the institution. Though the lads con- dition is serious, it is expected that he will recover.
