IWsvinv March 14, 1912 WOMAN'S COLUMN. EDUCATION FOR EFFICIENCY OUR COLONIAL ANCESTRY. A Brief Sketch of Some Characteristics of Their Life and Their Word. OBSERVED by the Wayfarer As a Spring Medicine Hood's is King "For all the troubles I have had Hood's Sarsa-parilla surely is the king. I have taken it at di He rent times in the past three years when I have suffered from catarrh and stomach troubles, an 1 have always found it a grand medicine.

My stomach is very much better than it was, and as a spring medicine, too, I know that no one can do any better than to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. My husband and I have reason to recommend it cordially." Mrs. li. E. Plunimer, 3S7 Union Laconia, X.

II. Regrets Absence from Dedication. The following le-tte-r was reeeived last week by Ge-eirge- W. Bridgmau from his brother, Dorman, who is passing the win-te-r at Los Angeles, California. "I wish to express my gratitude- for your very kind invitation to attend the dedication of your beautiful Memorial Building.

I assure you nothing would maele of such moral promise I lie flit uii' ereatiiess of this country. Cod n-ui-leie-l His will in their cun-sciiei-e s. but lie utii spi ke to them in the articulate vi ices of fi li sts and streams, of sl.i ing hillsides and fertile and in the militant sun mils. (lur fi fathers early hanie-d the necessity and the value i free sehoi Is; that a goirin.ini which was to be the expression tie will of tie pee must needs bo ntly diieited. New England has the pt culair mi tit of having first provided n.ealis for the establisl merit of a system of free schools.

This is or of the chief corner stones of our republic, alul one ot the strongest guarantees of its pert entity. Our forefathers quickly saw that education of the masses would afford the greatest security of life and properly and enlarge the moral, religious and industrial spheres of action. To turn and keep men from sin and crime, to exalt moral sentiments in the individual in society and in the state, to stimulate mental activity and promote honest living, to build up individual character ami correct civic life, these are some of the blessings of virtue and knowledge which our forefathers sought to secure by the establishment of free schools. Another characteristic of our colonial ancestry was the domesticity of the individual homes. Stirred by such impulses anil controlled by such motives as were our ancesters, it would naturally follow that domestic relations would be strong, that the love of home would be deep and abiding, and that the rights anil privileges of individuals and rnin-munities would be market by well-understood Another characteristic of emr colonial ancestry was thtir new conception of the nobility of life.

There is a genuine neibil-ity and there is a spurious nobility; a nobility in fact and in truth, and a nobility in name and in tradition. The early colonists had bee used to a title nobility, but to them it was an empty sound and a tinkling cymbal. They believed that true and genuine nobility could be had by a conferred title, but that it was one eif the ex ressions of a true and genuine manhood cast in a mould of well-nigh perfect sha) e. This tebility of life to them involved three thirds; a nobility of purpose, a nobility of character, and a nobility of service. Nobility of purpose involves lofty ideals; it would put thought and conduct upon a high level.

With such a purpose life is not a re existence, but a divine power, exerting a salutary influence upon humanity at large and extending the results of ils beneficence into the realm of the fill lire. Nobility of character is the first fruit of nobility of purpose. A noble character has psilive virtues; it is chiseled into beautiful form, helpful as an example, ami strong conscious rectum. c. Neibility of service is the acme of human endeavor; it is the summit which crowns useful and sacrificial labor, a willingness to spend and be spent in the ser ice of ot hers.

Our colonial ancestry embodied in their lives and in their work this conception of the nobility eif life. While it may be true that they are justly subject to criticism for their inconsistences and for many glaring defects in their methods of government and in the treatment of their fellow men, yet it it may be truthfully said of them, that they had a new conception of the value ef the equality of rights of men, love of country, civil and religious liberty and the pursuit of happiness, universal idt.catiin, love of lion e.and exalted moral nt in. cuts. Upon these foundations ovir forefathers built a nation. Our colonial ancestors were the human manifestation of the world's pleading for a government of the people, by the people, and for the le.

They were the r.iod- crn Israelites who cine iulo a new land. not ini-eii. but served fi thi-nv. Tlic-e sturdy defenders of the sovereignty of the huir.aneol si ierice, the sanctity of life, the fruits of liberty and the re wards ol human na mess nan noi vei come into full comprehension ofthevnlue of individual and civil liberty. Hut they were obedient to their calling.

The world of thought and action moved faster than the boundaries of their visions, and their on April B. 177.1 saw thel dawning of that day whe.se rising sun was the sure i rot hi cv of the fulfilln.ent of the cause of human liberty.

Mr. Feck was t.ral ie- te) be present at the de-dicatioii ti me menial huiMin: last week. He was to have spoken at that time on "Our Colonial Ance-tois" and we publish above the- mamise-ript eif his aildii-ss. and churches, wen and physical fibre a The Committee em Woman Suffrage-of the Ohie) Constitutional Convention last week, on Susan H. Anthony's birthday, re-port I in favor of equal sulTiane by a vote of twenty to one.

Hon. W. Ii. Kilpatrick of Trumbull chairman of the Commit tee, has for many ye ars been a staunch supporter eif votes for women. The strumd'- for equal rights which i-bi-iiig maele- by the womi-ii of Cn-rniany has aroused genuine- interest throughout the country, says a writer in a h-adiim (li-rman magazine-, and their participation in public affairs is beginning to be re-garded as a benefit to the- nation.

Svve-ile-n's Minister of War. Mr. David roe-iii, addre-ssing the- Young I-e-ple-'s Liberal Association at Stockholm a few days ago, said: "For the solution of seie-ial problems, I hold it to be of the highest importance that Svveelish women should partake in legislation amj the sooner the better. 1 feel sure that the country anel the people will profit very largely by our women be-ing grantee! their share in political life." The wome of Belgium have succe-eele-el in gi-tting a law passeei reducing the number of hours in the workday ef women em-ployeel in facterie-s. From Syria come reports of unusual activity among supporters of the Feminist movement, and an influential society has Ix-en organized whose e-hie-f object is the enfranchisement of wome-n.

A ne-wspaper owne-el and published by women has been launched, whie-h contains suffrage news from all parts of the world. The Crain Growers of Camilla, an or ganization claiming a membership of upwards of met in annual convention last month, and passed a resolution favoring votes for women on eepial terms with men. M. Clauele CaFmiir-Perier, an emissary of the French Government, who recently visited California for the purpose of investigating conelitions, declares that the intelligence shown in civic matte'rs by the woman of the State has maele an ar- de-nt suffragists of him. He also pays a high tribute to the women eif Se-aneli-navia for seilving knotty problems.

Minnesota suffragists find strong allies among the Swedes and Norwegians who form a large part of the population of the Slate. With universal suffrage in prac tice in Norway and every prospect of its becoming a reality in Sw eelen in the near future, the Scandinavian men in this country see no re-ason for withholeliiig the franchise from the women of the Unite-el States. Governor Ebe-rhart ef Minnesota is an avowed suffragist. According to dispatches freim Oregon, prospects for the adoption of the woman suffrage ame-ndment in that State are brighter this year than they have ever been before. One very notable feature of the change in public sentiment is the large number of newspapers favoring the measure which formerly oppewel it.

When King Haakon was invited to accept the Throne of Norway, he re-plie-d that if he was convine-ed that the people were really anxious for him to govern them he would do it. A re-fercnilum on the subject was accordingly take-n. It was in this national crisis that great patriotism was shown by the women anel a memorial was signed by a large number of them. The quest iem ef votes for women came before Parliament two years later and the bill was passed by a large majeirity. In New Je-rsey, a concurrent re-seilu-tion providing for the submission to the voters eif a constitutional ameueliuent giving eejual rights to men anil women was introeluce-il in the State Senate, February 13th.

Many State universities in the- West cemduct regular correspondence courses' in woman suffrage. The University of Kansas kecps a hundre-d packages of literature on the subject in circulation all the time. The Oregon Feeleration of Labor and the State Grange- at the-ir rece-nt conven tions, ele-e-larcil ovcrw hilmiugly ill favor eif woman suffrage. The three candidates for Kepulican nomination for governor of Minnesota have- all ceune out publie-ly in favor of woman suffrage. The San Francisco Call says, "The time has come when it is ne lemge-r a political sin to believe in the extension of the franchise to women."

In 22, IfC'O. Five gene-r at ions saw and were a part of he event! hose- unging tides brought weal or wee lo the They raine not as advent uiers. They eaii.e to e-s-l tabh-li a government wherein man rouli have freeiloin of religious worship, hide pemli'iiee in the administ nil ion of loea affairs, opportunity for the ha)piness, nnd a ehanee for ment and so to beet rue useful in the move nient of agencies for an advancing civiliza- ion. They did not primarily seek a separation from the mother country, but the seed planted by them was, in fact, the genu of the republic. Our colonial ancestry were men and women of deep and abieling convictions, moved by the highest conception of duty, brave and self-sacrificing nnd led, as they believed, by the divine hand.

They were the ioneer.s of civil and religious liberty and of a civilization which unfolded to them and to the world the capacity of men for self-government. They were not boastful of their strength, but humble in spirit. For many years our Pilgrim Fathers maintained their allegiance to England and in 1G2S obtained from the King a charter giving them right to the soil and "power to make such laws na should be most proper and suitable for the plantation." Out of this charter came the village or township which DeTocqueville says "is so perfectly natural that whenever a number of men are collected the town seems to constitute itself." "Man," says this historian, "make Monarchies and Republics, but the township seems to come directly from the hand of Cod." John Adams said in 17SG, "what made New England was town meetings, training days, the town schools, and ministers." He could have truthfully added, individual homes and strong family ties. It is true, that owing to their physical necessities for their common defence, the town and the parish were for many years, practically united, but later there came a separation of church and stale, and thereafter the town meeting concerned itself with civic affairs and the "meeting house" became and has since remained, I he sanctified lace for the worship of In "New England's First Fruits," printed I believe in tie following quotation appears: "After Cod had carried us safe to New England and we had buildrd our homes, provided necessaries for our livelihood, reared convenient places for Cod's worship and settled the civil government, one of the next things we longed for and looked after, as to advance learning and r-petuate it to posterity." Bradford, Winslow, Carver, Standi.sh, Brewster and their compatriots and those who came after them, men like Otis, Adams and Hancock, had "Fmpire in their brains," and the fear of Cod in their hearts. Before 1020, the movement's to plant colonies had usually been made for conquest, or in search of gold, or to increase trade.

Mercenary or commercial motives were controlling. Not so with our coloni- al ancestry. They were i.ot sent to this t.in.I thp Timthrr e-omitrv: ihev came! in obedience to their own will, to establish and ordain civil and religious liberty and lay the foundation of individual homes, which should be at once tic source and the power of a new government in a few hind. They would exalt life, dignify and enthrone liberty, and si cure hap-, pmcss. Life in their home was given a new' name and a never before dreamed of.

1 Liberty was a new possession struck out of the heart of the accumulated experience? and wisdom of the ages. The pursuit of happiness was a ser- vice whose fruition was the perfection of life's aim, and of the soul's hepe. The fact that our New England an cestors came to stay and not to return, also discloses their high resolve and helped to Fhape their future conduct. They brought not only themselves to this r.rw hind, but what litvle property tlcv had; thev were sustained bv their hops eif ultimate success, and controlled by those moral causes of affection, religious conviction, and patriotism, which were to mould and shape a new social system and establish a new government. Tl.ey si learned how to govern themselves and so to make their individuality strong and impelling.

Tl.ey were masters of their c.wn convictions and their ow conduct The physical cemditions of the territory of New England had much to do in giving prominence arm moral strength New England life. Men and women who could brave the dancers ef the sea in a small craft, land mid-winter upi inhe spitable shores, with savages and dense forests in front them, and the wide sea in their rear, who could level these forests, the uiM their lion.es, establish sell. government, and build roads, mills, si-lao Editor of Haidu ick lazet te: No doubt you and the subsci ibers to your valued paper will deeply appreciate the- informal ieni 1 am about to vouchsafe te you. For some- time- past in the various out-of-tou ii oorrospi iiidoiioo published in the Caettr, items have- be e-n neitice'd relating to an obscure- malady, ele-sigi ati-d as "the pre vailing diste 1 1 or." Now if the prevailing distemper is what I think is, I can explain the matter, having just intorvicwe-d a pe-rson who had recently passed through an attack of the elisease. This gentle-man evielenced ele-e-p knowle-dge-in scientific lore- when he confided to me the fact that the cause of the complaint was a germ, a particularly vigorous, vicious, anil malicious bugthat seems to take a fie-ndisli ele light in inflicting upon its innocent and helpless vie-tims the tortures of the damiii-d.

The first symptom he noticed anything about was a chill throughout the system that maele a grave-yard in winter seem warm in comparison. This horrible sensation was followed by another extre-me, a condition on which we will not draw comparisons, for fear of shocking the tender se-nsibilities of cliilelren. The next stage was characterized by a pain so universal, so intense, so far-reaching that it seemed to include every part of the anatomy except the patient's false teeth, which were safe-ly stored on the top shelf in the cupboard. This stage having been safely passed, the victim is left in a state better imagined than de-scribed, and in no mood to count his many blessings, as the hymn goes. Ye after it is over and the we-akne-ss passes a man will shake hands with himself ami congratulate himself that he is still living, There is, however, one dise-eiuraging feature of the disease.

Me'dical authoiiiie claim that a person can re-infect himself an unlimiteel number of times. Hut let us hope this may be a rare exception, and. as spring aelvances, may the prevailing eliste-mper prevail no more. The young girls in our village have bo ce me terribly frighteneel lately over the re port that a "Jack the Clipper" had come to town to cut oil their much prized tre-s-ses. Little girls with hair Dutch cut, a good inch above their coat collars, anel young lad'n-s, sweet sixteen, with hair so arrangeel that the villain ceiuldn't get heild of any exce-pt stray loe-ks that the-y le-t II for effect anil which their mothers heartily wish "Jack" weiulel cut off, are equally fearful and the only ones who have he ard the yarn and don't worry a bit are the fe-w sensible gitls who go to se-hoeil with a good olel-fashione-d hraiel hanging down the back.

This fellow got after Harry Cummings the other evening and mutilat-eel him seine, however. He took after Harry, chased him down, helel him in a grip of irejn, anel, 'mid the piteous and agonizing shrieks eif his struggling victim, cut eiff his little chin whisker. Since it's all ove-r, he says he den-sn't care much, because it's meist spring anil he was going to shave it off later anyway. All loyal citize ns naturally have a ke-en desire to boom the town anel sugge-st new ave-nue-s through which the business and popularity of our little village may be increased. Some towns make a specialty of winter sports but all we can Isoast at present is the Mohawk club and Robie's winter air ship.

(This latter is re-ally a lit tie free advert ing for Kobie, as he dees- n't have enough business carrying pas-si-ngrrs so but that he utilizes the thing to transport, ceirn from the station.) My pe-t sche-me for booming I lardw ick is to aelvertise! it as a resort for millionaire ehig fanciers. The place is peculiarly' ailapte-d to-this sent e.f thing anel all that is needed is a little judicious advert ising. The climate' he-re- is particularly bracing and agrees beautifully with the canine species. The sin are- pleasant and companionship agri-cable. Those' ho have charge of he affairs of the place take- kindly to dogs and allow them more privileges than is granted in any other village the sun shine-s on.

The way the se-happy creatures race up and down our streets barking at every passing te-ain is touching to behold. There are but few-torn cats left in the place to dispute the territory with them and scratch their eyes, what few there are being tex timid to venture out much. In fact it has been months since 1 have heard the rasping voices of the-se fe line libertines under my be'il room windeivv. New, seriously, elex-s-n't this dog resort ide-a offer big possibilities? I hope the suggestion may be duly ceniside-re-d at the ne xt beiard of trade meeting and if it ever amounts to anything please give a share eif the glory to Your public-spirited anil loyal townsman, THK WAYFARER.
