THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1925. RE-ORGANIZATION. —o-— Governor Smith has said frequently \No business institution in the country could last one minute if it tried to dp its business the way the State of New York is doing.\ The public will now have oppor- tunity to' vote as to whether lit de- finitely wants a consolidated, effective government. That is all that the re- organization amendment means. Attempts have been made to con- fuse the issue and to point out that because the amendment also carries with it the short ballot which means that hereafter the Governor, Lieuten- ant Governor, Comptroller and At- torney General will be elected and other state officials will he appointed by the Governor, it should be defeat- ed. Republican propaganda would have it that by the passage of this amendment, the Governor will become a czar, and that he would have auto- cratic control of the state's business.. Placing this control in the hands of Governor Smith will place it under Tammany Hall is being consistently circulated. These contentions are ab- surd on the face of them. Election under a short ballot system cannot take place until 1926, after the ex- piration of Governor Smith's present term. The real reason for. circulation of these misleading statements is the fear of Republicans that they will lose important party patronage. Count Real's Surveying Instruments Loaned to County Historical Society The Watertown Times of last Fri- day had the following which will be of interest to readers of the Eagle: The complete set of fine surveying, instruments owned and used by Count Peter Francis Real, perfect of police in France under Napoleon Bonaparte, have been loaned to 'the Jefferson County Historical Society by Mrs. Elon R. Brown as a memorial to her husband, the late Senator Elon R. Brown. Senator Brown purchasedthe old stone house in' Cape Vincent which was built about 1815 by Vincent Le- Eay, son of James D. LeRay. The in- btruments and other articles were kept in this stone house after the burning of the old Cup and Saucer house in Cape Vincent in 18G7. Count Francis Peter Real built the eitey, are said to be some of the finest and most beautifully representatives of the instruments of that day, noty in existence. Many of them were made by Gavard in Paris and prob- ably date back to about 1,800. Nearly all are in perfect condition, or can be made so by a few slight repairSi One instrument of special interest is the rectangular level. It was beautifully made, of brass, with two spirit levels at rght angles. The brass surveying quadrant excites one's admiration. Clarence C. Kinnee, who lias a fine sense of ap- preciation of fine . instruments spent a great deal of time examining it, and said it was the. most beautiful old quadrant (or compass) that he had ever seen. It was in perfect working order, and it seems almost unbeliev- Cup and Saucer house in 1816 of . able that such\ a fine, accurate instru- ihereabouts, and it was afterwards ment could' have been made with the he property of the Hyacinth Peugnet family. Theophilus Peugnet was living in the house in 1867 at the time of the burning. The old sui-vey- ing instruments and many other things in the orignal Cup and Saucer house were preserved, and many of them found their way into the old crude implements and methods of 125 years ago. It only showed that in those days there were some very skilled workmen, capable of doing a fine bit-of work. Another instrument which aroused one's interest, was the plantograph, a device used in making, enlarged or re ^Hby O.Lawrence Hawthorne jes sir, my gran'pa used t' be *• The bestest kind of friend-r- Why, he was always giyiii'-me A dime 'at 1 could spend!.

ON TO NEW VICTORIES. With the primary campaign ovei - , the combatants can sit back, catch their breath, refresh themselves, and get ready for the next big battle. Only for a few weeks have state is- sues been laid aside while for the time being the greater battle foi liberty was being fought in New York city. Now Governor Smith and the Democratic Party will turn their im- mediate attention to the administra- tion of state affairs, and to adopting a comprehensive business program for public improvements that must be carried on. Paramount in this campaign must necessarily be the three constitutional amendments to be voted on by the people—reorganization of the govern- ment, the adoption of the Bond Issue amendments for the construction of public buildings, and the grade cross- ing amendment. The passage of these amendments is not a matter of personal prestige and partisanship plays no .part in them. Of at least one of them, the reorganization amendment, Republicans have said that it is of the utmost importance to the state. Leading men like Elihu Root, Martin Saxe, former Governor Hughes, and even Congressman-Mills, himself, have publicly stated agree- ment with its principles. It will be a stupid and short-sighted policy to try to defeat this amendment on the confused ground of the short ballot feature of it. The people will not be fooled by such stupid atempts to con- fuse the issue. The two other amendments will be thoroughly debated between now and the election, and every business man and every intelligent woman accus- tomed to managing affairs will see the advantage of passing them both from the -business standpoint and from their importance in the preser- vation of human life. MAKE \FIRE PREVENTION\ A NATIONAL SLOGAN. —o— The United States destroys more than five times as much property by fire as do European countries, to say nothing of the thousands of lives snuffed out annually. The European countries have laws dating back to the Code Napoleon making the tenant or owner, of a building liable for fii-es caused by neglige-nce. W. E. Mallalieu, general manager of the National Board of Fire Under- writers, who has recently returned from an extensive study of fire in- surance problems in Europe, observes \Perhaps in order to reduce losses on this continent to a less reprehens- ible figure, it may become necessary to supplement the extensive fire pre- vention work of fire insurance com- panies, co-operating with many civic bodies, by the widespread enactment and enforcement of personal liability acts, such as already exists in some of our cities. If the man who caused fire by his carelessness or negligence were looked upon, not as an unfor- -tunate, but as one guilty of misde- meanor and subjected to a fine, as he is under the Napoleonic law, doubtless we would all be more heedful.\ . Fire Prevention Week will be ob- served nationally from October 4 to 10. It is safe to predict that there will be fewer fires during this week than normally. Instead of dropping back into our old habit of \fire care- lessness,\ at the end of the week, why not continue fire prevention as a na- tional habit? .itone house which had been 'built by i duced copies of maps, drawings, etc, Vincent LeRay in 1815.

It was a in 1814, Count Real and many other faithful followers of Napoleon fled to America, where they took up large tracts of land in this section and plotted to effect Napoleon's release from the island of St. Helena, where he had been confined after his defeat at Waterloo. Count Real owned more than 4,800 acres of land in the vicinity of Milieus Bay. He did all of the surveying work on this tract himself. He was a learned man, being a chemist, skilled aachinist, inventor and surveyor. His urveying instruments which have just been loaned to the Historical So- THE FALL TRADE. This marks the beginning of all trade—thoughts of winter • essentials, warmer clothing, coal in the bin and numerous other necessities. Under this caption it is quite true to say that Cape Vincent nierchants have what you want when you want it. They carry the big stocks in all lines, anticipating the wants and require- ments of customers, rendering court- eous treatment and efficiency in handl- ing the trade. You are sure of getting what you want among the numerous stores at this point because the mer- chandise is here in great variety and assortment. And remember that money spent in the home .town, means —your neighbor's profit on your pur- chase puts him in a position to pay a profit on that commodity which you have for sale, whether it be a home, a shirt, an egg—or your labor. Aunt Ada's Axioms: Iodine may be better than kisses for baby's bruises; the wise mother judiciously distributes both. specimen of perfect workmanship and a thoroughly fine instrument. Among other things was a wooden compass made entirely of wood, by hand. It was used in making draw- ings and it seemed hardly possible that such an accurate instrument cjuld have been constructed of wood, entirely by hand.' The steel surveyors chain was also included in the outfit, and was not unlike the steel chains in use to-day. Mr. Lansing, president of the His- torical Society, was elated over the possession of the collection of in- struments for the society. „ .JIUM'SS^WS^IMSassSPi!: ^_ COPYRIGHT 1M5, WESTERN NEWSPAPER;UNiqN^^ THE COUNTY FAIR. —o— A Watertown writer, who signs himself \Lotta Talk,\ and has a col- uimn each week in the Carthage Re- publican-Tribune evidently thinks the officers who have run the Jefferson county fair for the past five years are all right. Here is what he has to say in last week's Republican- Pribune: One or two former officers of the Tefferson County Agricultural So- :iety, who have been deposed at one time or another, and classed as in- surgents at this time, have announc- ed that an opposition ticket will be put an the field. Such announce- ments have been made in the past 'mt when the voters in attendance '•as been looked over, the spirit of the fight has all been taken out of shem. If those who are entitled to •ote had paid any attention to the improvements on the fair grounds and the reduction of the debt in the last five years, the so-called insur- gent ticket whenever it is made up, is likely to have very little support. Not once in the last five years has the fair society run behind in the actual fair. Nearly every, year, if not every year, the society with its itate aid, has been able to pay all lebts including those contracted in ihe way of permanent improvements, 't is understood that a statement covering the success of the fair for '-.he last few years will soon be pub- lished, giving every one an accurate statement of the finances during that period. TWENTY YEARS AGO. —o— Montreal Gazette: Twenty years ago, who would have refused an invitation to go for an „iutomobile drive? With what a ;pirit of adventure one donned the dnen duster, affixed the cumbersome joggles and climbed into the back •-oat, three feet above the driver, to command an unobstructed view of the road that stretched its dusty miles before the bonnet of the machine. -Vnd it was a road that led not to a tavern, nor a summer resort, nor yet '.o place of business. For it was the \going and not the \getting there,\ that was all in all to the pioneer mo- torist. He made frequent stops, I am the first to admit, but they were due to the motor and not to the motorist. He was not the man to pull up his machine at the side of the road while the members of his family bought themselves ice cream cones. For one thing, motoring was not a family af- fair. One toured with boon com- panions, tried in emergency and ready for the worst. More than that, who gave a thought to the stomach as the motor car roared through the country at 20 miles an hour, enveloping every- one in a swirl of dust from roads that knew not tar or macadam 1 And again, who so intrepid as to dare trifle with the gods by arresting the motion of the mechanical marvel, so difficult to coax into starting, so un- certain in its ways when started? CHAUMONT SEED CO. INCREAS- ES CAPITALIZATION. Among the papers filed with the secretary of state, at Albany, last Wednesday was one showing an in- crease in the capitalization of the Rogers Brothers Seed Company, Inc., which gives Chaumont as the'location of its principal office. The company, formerly operating on &• capitaliza- tion of $500,000 is permitted to in- crease the amount to $600^000. 3EEBER MOORE WILL RECOVER. An Ogdensburg dispatch, dated September 25, is as follows: \The condition of Seeber Moore, a motor truck driver who suffered a broken neck in a recent mishap, is showing steady improvement, it was stated to-day at the Hepburn hos- pital, where he is under the care of Drs. G. C. Madill and John Free. The fractured vertebrae in the neck are beginning to heal and it is expected that Moore will be able to leave the hospital inside of a month or six weeks.- As the spinal cord was not injured Moore's complete recovery is looked for. \Moore was dumping a load of stone from a truck when he was hurt. He 'iad raised the box and was looking out of the cab window to see if the load had reached the required height when a clutch slipped and the box crashed down on the chassis. The shock threw the back of Moore's head against the edge of the window with sufficient force to break the Upper vertebrae of the spine.\ Mr. Moore formerly resided in this village and has many friends here who hope his recovery may be speedy. THE LITTLE THINGS. —o— Parry's Pickings: It takes so little to make us glad, to cheer us up, to make us happy; it takes and costs so little-to be kind,- to be thoughtful, to be considerate; it takes so little to lend a helping hand; yet it means so much, to others as well as ourselves. We think too much about doing the things, which look big in our lives, and we think too little of the everyday little acts of thoughtful- ness, of kindness, the little helpful- nesses of those who are disheartened and down and out. After all, is it not the little things that make up life? 101 PRIMARIES HELD TUESDAY GEO. DONALDSON, DEMOCRAT, AND J. R.

Hinckley, of Oswego, bound from Alexandria Bay to Big Sodus Bay, west of Oswego, with a load of 250 tons of block granite, sunk at about 3 o'clock, Monday after- noon near the entrance of the Oswego harbor. Hiram Rush, of Gouverneur, mate on the barge was drowned. The other members of the crew were all saved. They are Frederick Baldwin, Chaumont, master\; Henry Lovely, Og- densburg, engineer; James Service, Broekville, fireman; Moses Bradsh&w, Oswego, fireman; Charles Thompson, Ogdensburg, deckhand, and Mrs. Charles Thompson, Ogdensburg, cook. The Isabella H. and the Hinckley loaded 250 tons each of block stone at Alex. Bay on • Saturday and then came up the St. Lawrence to Cape Vincent. A heavy sea was running at the foot of the lake and the barges tied up at the government break- water, where they remained until 7 o'clock Monday morning when they pulled away to resume their run up Big Sodus Bay, 30 miles west of Os- wego, where their cargoes were con- signed, the stone to be used by the United States engineering department for repair work on the breakwater. - Seas were still running high, when they left Cape Vincent Captain Hinckley stated, and the barges were unable to make much headway. The •Hinckley was in the lead. After be- ing out for seeral hours the Isabella H. signalled the Hinckley. The latter swung around and Captain Baldwin notified Captain Hinckley that the Isabella H's pumps had refused to work. . The Hinckley remained with the Isabella H. and it was decided to make the harbor as soon as possible. The barge continued to take in water and when some distance off the harbor it was observed that she was filling rapidly. The barge had not got far into the mouth of the harbor when the craft listed to port and sunk in about 30 feet of water. The crew of the ill-fated barge jumped into the lake and were rescued by the members of the crew of the lifesavers of the Oswego coast guard station, and the crew of the Hinckley. The Isabella H. was formerly the steamer McCormack and was brought to Lake Ontario by Captain Hinckley 10 years ago. She is 284 gross tons; 100.8 feet long, 24.9 beam and 11.1 depth, with a 150 horsepower engine. Your Eyes Are you caring for them properly?

E-DEBIC1IE BAY BftPTIST GHURGH INTERESTING SERVICE WILL BE HELD FRIDAY MORNING AND-AFTERNOON. Re-dedication services of the Three Mile Bay Baptist church, 'which was founded in 1816, will be held at the church Friday of this week with im- pressive ceremonies. Among the speakers who will take part in the ceremony will be Rev. Bernard C. Clausen, pastor of the First Baptist church of Syracuse, Rev. F. M. Tomlinson, director of town and rural church work, of Syracuse; Senator Homer E. A. Dick, of Roch- ester, and several of the pastors from nearby communities. The morning service will be pre- sided over by Rev. Cyrus Aldrich, moderator of the Black River as- sociation, while the afternoon service at 2 will be in charge of Rev. Gordon h. Nichols, pastor of the church for' nearly two years, who has seen a decided growth in the organization and has been \extremely active during the period of remodeling and re- decoration. The first meeting of the organiza- tion, was held May 28, 1816, when a group of Baptist people \living on Point Salubrious received a visit from Rev. Joseph Maltby, then living in Rodman. Other meetings followed and an organization was formed known as the First Baptist church of Lyme. The meetings were held at the school houses and at the various homes of the community. At a meeting held January 23, 1839, after mature deliberation it was decided to build a meeting house at Three Mile Bay. After a struggle of nearly two years the edifice was completed and the first sermon was preached there December 24, 1840, by Elder Clark, of Wstertown. The building cost $2,000, a'large sum for the people of the community in that day. At the services Friday Mrs. Leon Selter, of Three Mile Bay, will give the review of the history of the or- ganization. The morning service, with Rev. Mr. Aldrich presiding, will open at 10:30 with Mrs. Asa Flanders, of Three Mite Bay, acting as organist. The programs follow: Morning Service. Hymn 597, \Jesus Shall Reign.\ Scripture reading, Rev.

A group of scientists In the Univer- sity of California, after many years of study ana tesl, have decided that the human race has-made no mental prog- ress In 3,000 years, says Popular Sci- ence Monthly. They have concluded that we know about as much today as the people who lived In Babylon, and hot as much as the Greeks did 2,000 years ago. Failure and Success Failures interest me more, generally, than success. They seem to reveal human nature more truly, and, on the whole, more encouragingly, than any- thing else In the world; -Success en- courages the worst qualities la men; failure often brings out the best. Prayer Is the fear, If not the voice, of failure.-—Laurence Housman. GEO. A. STEBBINS GIVES OUT STATEMENT CONCERNING RELIGIOUS EDUCATION; —o— \We are going into this campaign believing that it is in every way bet- ter to make provisions guarding against loss that it is to salvage from wreckage, and it should be understood that this is a community undertaking, involving the effort and gifts of the patriotic citizens of Jefferson county regardless of church affiliations,\ said Mr. George A. Stebbins, president of the Northern New York Securities, Inc. of Watertown, when being inter- viewed concerning the Jefferson Coun- ty Campaign for Religious Education. Mr. Stebbins is a member of the executive committee of the campaign organization which will raise $17,500 for an adequate program of religious education for a two year period. \Cities expend vast sume of money each year on traffic regulations,\ said Mr. Stebbins, \for the preservation of the life and property of their citizens. The railroads maintain cost- ly signal systems and safety devises to safeguard life and property, and these preventives of wreck and ruin are proven to be paying investments, saving many persons from death, and much costly property from destruc- tion.\ \We propose,\ he continued, \to apply the same principle in the sav- ing of character and life values by securing funds through this cam- paign to furnish an adequate pro- gram of religious education, for the . children and youth of Jefferson coun- ty, for it is clearly demonstrated that persons who received in childhood even the little religious education furnished by a program quite inade- quate to the need, seldom come to moral of spiritual wreckage.\ Mr. Stebbins called attention to some of the details of the two year program for which funds are to be asked: Training institutes for teachers of daily vacation church schools every spring in many parts of the county; institutes and standard five day schools for encouraging and training Sunday school teachers and officers in ail parts of the county; organiza- tion and supervision of an increasing number of week day schools \of re- ligion by an employed specialist; one or two community training schools of junior college grade for leaders; 30 teaching sessions; \.mployment of a full time superintendent for the coun- ty appropriations for the work of five volunteer departmental superin- tendents; an annual census and sur- vey of all church schools in the country; maintenance of association office which will be a service station for every feature of religious educa- tion. Equipment will eventually in- clude lending library, plans for church school buildings, records, etc. To do this work $17,500 is asked, $6,250 per year to be raised in War tertown; and $250 per year in each of the districts outside of Watertown. Mr. Stebbins said that the amount asked is regarded by the members of the committee as modest, and that he is sure that the people of Watertown and Jefferson county will give liberal- ly to meet this fundamental need. BISHOP ANDERSON WOULD CUT OUT WORD \OBEY.\ An Associated Press dispatch, dated Chicago, September 25, is as follows: Bishop Charles P. Anderson, of the Episcopal diocese of Chicago, to-day made clear his stand on removal of the word \obey\ from the marriage ceremony, which recently attracted widespread notice. \Obey means obey and nothing else in the opinion of the Chicago bishop, who will head the Chicago delegation to the 48th triennial con- vention of the Episcopal church in New Orleans next month. He added: \The marriage service should be taken seriously in all its parts and as a whole. It is not a matter of master and servant, as is clearly implied with the word 'obey' in the service. That may have been the idea of marriage once, but not now.\ Bishop Anderson expressed belief that removal of the word would strengthen rather than weaken the marriage ceremony; Ecaadorean Industry The making of straw hats Is a prin- cipal Industry of Ecuador.
