Clara Morgan to resign her ministry of the Firsft Universalist Church in this place will leave a vacancy in this community-tl;at will be difficult to fill. Any prejudice that may have existed in having a woman in the pulpit was overcome by MI bs Morgan, early in her ministry, here, for she has been a \good mixer” withoufToalng her dignity either as a woman or a pastor. In her relations with the churctk she has done moro than her agreement' callcd for, and like a true follower of the Master, she has ' placed Service abpye Self, What a parallel ia being manifested between the'Turk and tho turkoy! Mustapha 'Kemal is getting ‘‘chesty,” figura tively spreading hisVeathers and ahowlHg^a disposition to gobblo by demandings all sorts of concessions, with the re sult that war is said to be imminent between the Turks and the combined forces of England, France and Italy. If the Turk’s neck could be wrung before the end of the year it might bo a cause for thanksgiving on the, part of Christian pcoplo thruout thei worn Senator Newberry o^^chigan has tendered his resigna tion. The scandal in connection with his election, in which a huge sum of money was expended, appeared to be an issue ln the rcccfht election in other States than Michigan, and his resignation and retirement from tho great law-making body will relieve it from an odluqi that has militated against Its influence and dignity to a degree that it is difficult to estimate. \ BY COMMON (\ONSENT. Tlie traffic officer at tho busy government in its finest form, body relinquishes his personal 11 ' larger good of all. Nobody but testing against tho wise decrees/ It would be confusloir-wi irner is a symboP'of self common consent, every- ty in order to serve the fool would think of pro- f modem traffic experts, 'ounded to do so. Now ond then the busy streets aro startled by the sound' of fire btlls. The chief and hi$ men are on their way to save life nnd property. By common consent, everybody clears tho way. No ono insists at such a time on the use of' the streets, or upon the free play of his own personal liberty to proceed at will. Tho larger /good demands a right-of-way to the Aro-flghters. ^ The community levies taxes upon all who reside within its boundaries. Theso taxes go, to pay tho coat of government, provide schools for tho children, meet the cost of police pro tection, 'courts, institutions; etc. By common consent, we pay thcsoHftxes, even tho p 'majority of the people never personally mtvo need for a, policeman, fireman or court of law. Evon the'tmm who ho 3 no children helps to pay for the education of thechlldrfcn of others. All of this is ah infringement upon personal liberty, but by common consent we wmvo such “rights” as we think we may have. Long years agttahese matters were argued over iand fought out, and nobody today questions the wisdom of' tho course we have elected to boNjur own. By common consent, there has bc&yriaced upon the stat utes of tho republic a law that infringfcs upon tho personal liberty of some for the good of the greafe^ number. That the good of the greater number is served by tho law, no sane man can doubt. How long shall we avert our ftc a from the fact that by such common conscnt of the governed are we weld£3 Into a greater and moro solid nation? WhatsOther uvay is thero?—Rochester Times-Union, #ov. 11, 1922X With tlie -assurance that coal is being mined at an enor- N mous rate at present to make up for lost production during the protracted strike of the miners, to the layman it appears strango that the relief is not greater than is being experi enced. In Perry there is no anthracite coal of any conse quence, only a comparatively small amount has been re ceived by the local dealers, and this place is no exception in Western New York; in' fact, it is better off than some. With tho railroads in full operation and tho lines freely open for traffic, it is difficult to understand why coal shipments are not more extensive. Mild weather conditions thus far have beon a great blessing to householders, who are fervently hoping that actual sprious suffering may be averted before the-sovere Winter weather sots in. To those who are accus tomed to using anthracite for fuel, the change to bituminous Is unsatisfactory, and the delay in securing an adequate supply of natural gas adds to tho inconvenience and iirita- tion. Thero will be genuine appreciation on the part ol people when we really do “get back to normalcy.” It seems to be a long time in arriving. * Congress has been called in extra session and all indica tions point to lively and interesting times ahead. It looks as tho there will be an alignment of the progressive elements among both Republican and Democratic members, and it is not improbable that befottr-1924 there will have developed from within the two parties new organizations bearing the same names as tho present parties, but that might be more properly terftied “liberals” and “conservatives.” Notwith standing the nominal Democratic victories in the recent election, following tho complettPDemocratic rout in 1920. the conditions at present are such that the two old parties as such are “shot to pieces.” Politically as \^ell as other wise, history is apparently rapidly in the making. OBSERVATIONS OK ' FAR WESTERN TRIP (Continued from P a g e O n e ) cent y e a n are of the b u n g a l o w type, atttractive in appearance a n d with pic turesque surroundings.

B u t the younger generation of the fair sex are emphatic in saying that they would not conscnt to marriage with a m a n w h o already had a wife a n d sharing his affections With another.
