Fowkes, of this eountv, it Boot go far astray.

WHY THE SI PENCE T There is a growing sentiment throughout the County iu favor f^pfUte immediate construction of the Corson’s Inlet biidge. ^^Unanswerable arguments have been advanced showing the 1 the bridge. Every phase of the question has been dis- { enssed, publicly and privately ; every obstacle has been removed. Why, then, is no action taken by our Ficcholders ? Why do they maintain a stolid silence in this important matter? Why are no steps taken that the bridge may become a reality, instead of a [ ' fond dream ? We are on the threshold of another summer of congested State Boulevard travel, which is clamoring for an outlet If the sumusr Of Ipl6 is to bring relief, the bridge must be started at once. And there is no good reason why it should noL

POPULAR EXTRA l A GANCE. Jtl business man was remarking the other day that if illing to live as he lived when a boy, there need le complaint about the high cost of living. He was brought up iu a coid climate, hut he said that main times through the cold weather his father and mother would let tin fires out at supper time, and spend the evening with neighbors, in

order to save a little fuel.

• His frugal mother used to roll lamp lighters out of |iapcr t« save matches. He complained particularly of the freedom will which working people spend money for moving picture shows, a one illustration of wide-spread habits ol extravagance among pcoph

of small means.

The simple frugal old days had a fine austere and Spartai laliiy. But they can never return. It was an age of very |>aNsitt habits of mind. People went to bed at eight or nine o’clock. Then little else todo. Books, magazines and i.ews]iapers were scarce. jPew people led lives of much mental alertness. It was a calm, set kind of existence, full of healthful outdoor life, but sluggish. The present is a time ol great mental alertness. The mechanic the farmer no longe r live phlegmatic lives mental)), but sit uj »ng the Iicwsjuprrs evenings, instead of going to l»ed. This ves them a gliinjisc into the world, and they are hungry for a

wider outlet.

Moving pictures, fraternal organizations, the social life of towns and villages, these arc a few of the ways in which the working man’s money goes to-day. 'I he old timer may say it is waste am improvidence : yet it is in the nature of the age. To deny jicoph amusement and outlet into the world to-day is like creating the apTtite of liuirgci and thru refusing food.

^ DEALING WITH ANARCHISTS.

W. The alleged attenijit by anarchists to blow up St. Patrick’s qQkthedi.il in New York is one of the moibid episodes of modern life

' fiat veem to grow more and more frequent.

So express his views indrtinitrly ironi his soap-box ?

k Meetings ol agitalcns Inqiuiitl) result in riots, destruction of Ipropeity, and loss ol life. Yet the spirad of ideas can’t lie stopped by breaking up mass meetings. The viler and more ]><>i.soiioiis the ideas, the quicker their contagion. The man whose mouth lues been Sfippped takes his black words to some little printer in sotoeobscure ■piement. and soon his tout stoi\ is passing from hand to hand. If you want an explosion, the way to get it is to bavea man sit

M Y father held ‘hat one of the best forms of giving was the building up of productive industries. • But other things could best b« done by giving to such things as education. To a small extent these great foundations have been intended to carry on mv father’s private philanthropies. AS HIS ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARD EDUCATION INCREASED WE THOUGHT IT DESIRABLE TO CRYSTALLIZE IN ONE ORGANIZATION THE SEVERAL ACTIVITIES HE HAD CARRIED ON HIMSELF. Then my father hed the growing impression that the great cause of human miacrj was disease, and if he could find any way to contribute toward information that might prevent or eradicate disease he would be making a real, permanent contribution to the world at large. So the idea of medical research cane to his mind because frequently it u to unproductive and costly that it does not recommend itself to philanthropists. The Rockefeller foundation was the most recently organized in order that various kinds of altruistic endeavors might continue to receive attention from the persons in charge of the fund. THE ORGANIZATION WAS PURPOSELY MADE BROAD BECAUSE MY FATHER THINKS THAT EACH GENERATION CAN BEST TELL WHAT ARE ITS SPECIFIC HEEDS. AND THE MAN WHO TRIES TO PROPHESY IN ADVANCE IS NOT LIKELY TO DO AS MUCH GOOD AS HE WHO LEAVES IT TO EACH GENERATION TO ACT TO THE BE61 ADVANTAGE.

United States Cannot Have Prosperity to , the Detriment of the World B, FRED L KENT. No*d N*. Y.I Bubr T HE effect upon our foreign trade in its relation to other countries h a matter of great moment to this country. At present we are try ing to replace the certain markets which we had in Europe fo. uncertain markets in South America. We may be able to supply South America with many goods while tin war lasts that England end Germany may be better able to sell then, after the war is over. SUCH TRADE WE CANNOT HOPE TO KEEP, AND IT WOULD BE AN ECONOMIC WASTE FOR US

TO DO SO.

Competition will ultimately decide which countries supply other countries of Uie world with certain goods, but such competition should only be based upon natural ability and resource of manufacture and production and not upon force. The world must come to such condition ultimately, and each country will give that which it is best fitted to give and rcorire that which it is least able to prodnee. While we must all strive for the world's markets in a legitimate way, we must not forget that there will be a snrreckoning if we attempt to override such markets. THIS COUNTRY CANNOT HAVE PROSPERITY TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD CAN HAVE PROSPERITY TO THE GREAT BENEFIT OF THIS COUNTRY.

Federal Government Should Give More Aid to State Militia B, HENRY D. HATFIELD. Core™, ri Vipni.

I N my opinion it is the duty of the federal government to provide better for the state militia. THE APPARENT NEED OF A LARGER ORGANIZED FIGHTING FORCE HAS COME TO US ALL, AND THE BEST WAY TO INCREASE OUR FORCE OF. TRAINED MEN IS THROUGH THE MILITIA. In West Virginia the state government is doing about all it can 1mexpected to do for the support of the militia. The federal government will have to do more if the militia is to be brought up to the standard required by the war department and maintained at that standard. Some legislation along the line of the pending militia pay bill is badly needed. There is no link of patriotism among the men of the country,'but they have to earn a livelihood and cannot bo expected to give a large amount of their time to military duty without some recompense. IN MY OPINION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 18 RECEIVING ADE QUATE RETURNS FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY INVESTED IN THE STATE MILITIA, AND MORE CANNOT BE EXPECTED L'NLE&S MORE

GENEROUS PROVISION IS MADE.
