It was John M. Parker, the n nominated as vice-presidential hdidate on the ticket with Colonel osevelt, who made the following gestion in Hartford a week ago: fovery able bodied boy in the United fes between the age of eighteen i nineteen should be compelled to e one year in the army. ere are many good reasons why pe such law should be passed by gress. To begin with, the boys mselves would be materially bene- d. Hvery boy at thet age would eive a course in miltary discipline t would benefit him in his future It would make him a better n.

In so feving they do not cast any asper- In on the personal qualifications of candidate. That he is a sincere n there is no doubt. To their minds ghes is the best man that could Lsibly be placed in the running; the elements behind him are conflicting as to almost render his hdidacy nil and void, to these minds. pin, the mere fact that the Re- plican party had to violate the otity of the Supreme court of the ted States in order to secure a jusible opponent of Woodrow Wil- is acting as a boomerang with the hk and file of voters no matter at their party affiliation. The words the candidate himself have given impetus to a movement against p. It was in 1912 that the then ptice Hughes as a member of the preme court was asked to become andidate for the presidency. He n said:—‘The man who on the thest judicial tribunal would con- pr another office is fit neither for the P he holds nor for the one to which aspires.” The inference drawn by . Hughes himself needs no further ment. Phat is that phase of the situation. other is this: Connecticut normal- fis considered a rock-ribbed Repub- stronghold. Past elections preve s to be true in the majority of in- nces. There are men in the Nut- pg state who vote the Republican ket in the national elections, not any personal likes or dislikes as as the presidential candidates are cerned, but merely because of their fef that the G. O is the lampion for N ingland and her fustries. The old line arguments ld beliefs on the tariff question a e criterions for these actions. It flows that having approved of the lad of the national ticket these - voters elect, or did elect, the minor candidates. The state office seekers came in on the tail of the comet. There has been little splitting of the ticket in past national elections. These same men who follow those prece- dents in years gone by have now come to another way of thinking. As Republicans they still believe that their party is the real organization for industrial protection. But the knowledge that President Wilson, whether elected or not, is going to appoint a non-partisan tariff com- mission takes away the underpinning from the tariff argument, the main reason why Republicans are Repub- licans. Also the remarkable state- ment of Viscount Barl Grey, the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to the effect that England is deter- mined to fight to the finish, precludes any idea of immediate peace and guarantees to the United States a per- iod of time sufficient to adjust its tariff laws to meet whatever condi- tions may develop at the expiration of the war. These two phases of the situation give great leeway to Repub- lican voters to conscientiously split their votes. They can vote in the na- tional election for Wilson and in the state for their own candidates, pro- viding they believe the nominees of thelr party are superior to those of their opponents and will better repre- sent their interests. In doing this they will but follow their democratic friends who, while voting for the Presldent, may cast aside party lines in local and state affairs. There are Democrats in Connecticut who un- doubtedly endorse the excellent ad- ministration of Governor Holcomb constantly in the minds of the people: With Mr. Cummings, it is different. His name 1s well known, but his ac- tivities have kept him in other parts of the state and in other parts of the country. The meeting last night proves that the people want to know this talented son of Connecticut who has taken such an active part in af- fairs of nation-wide interest. Homer 5. Cummings is a national flgure and a credit to his state. e is the type of man the people want in the United States Senate. And there is no need to debate that idea. FACTS AND FANCIES. For the next two weeks watch out for Uncie Campaign Canard. His snop is now open for business to catch the unwary.—New Haven Jour- nal Courfer. King Manuel, former sovereign of Portugal, is whiling away his time row by doing hospital work in Eng- land. Gaby Deslys is still on the stage.—FHartford Post. Who has summed up the attitude and interests of Japan better than Judge Gary when he says: “Japan is not looking for trouble. She wants peace now and the pursuits of peace. —New York Sun. Mrs. Cox of Dennysville was driving hLer car up Water street at a consid- crable rate of speed, and was hand- Ung it ecasily; when another car ap- proached she apparently became con- fused and the car headed straight for the fountain.—Lubec Herald. Otto Lutz seems to be the special riark of ill fortune. In one day he was kicked by a mule, caught in a runaway and carried sixty yards on the doubletrees, and was left stranded cn his wagon when his team took and who see no reason why he should be superceded by Morris Beardsley of Bridgeport, a man of whom they know comparatively little. Judge Beardsley has been out of public life too long to be in the minds of current voters. . In this respect he is not un- ke Justice Hughes. They know Holcomb. They do not know Beards- ley. They know Wilson. They are not sure of Hughes. Summing up then, the vast majori- ty of voters in Connecticut like those of many other states have in this year of Our Lord branded themselves as Independents. That is, so far as the state elections are related to the na- tional elections. While still clinging to the principles of their respective parties they feel at liberty to vote one way for the nation and another for the state. The Republican can step outside his party to vote for Wilson while at the same time seeing to it that the men on his own ticket have his vote in the state. Men - and measures have brought about this renaissance. That is why the nation- al committees of both great parties are at sea. The claim that Hughes simply because he is a Republican is going to carry this state or that must be qualified because of the unprece- dented conditions now existing. It all goes back to the new declaration of Independence drafted by the voters of 1916 and signed by the good will of the American people. There has been a great awakening, and the light sees a wonderful host of Independent voters. CAN'T BE DEBATED. When the preliminary arrange- ments for a debate between Senator George P. McLean and his opponent, Hcmer S. Cummings, were under way, 1t was charged that the management of the Stamford candidate merely sought publcity; that the name of McLean was used as a drawing card. Commenting on the whirlwind tour of the state being made by Mr. Cum- mings some newspapers pointed out that the voters were slow to warm up to the man seeking the senatorial toga, that small crowds came out to see and hear him. This was un- doubtedly true in small towns where there were no large crowds to be as- scmbled. In the larger centers of population Mr. Cummings has found no difficulty in rounding up goodly gatherings of men anxious to hear his views. He did not need to travel on the popularity of Senator McLean, nor does he rely on what crowds the Senator can bring out. The debate was not arranged for that purpose. It was brought about simply to have the issues in this campaign clearly and definitely stated, and ne better way to do this could be found than tlie method of joint debate. That there is no truth to the state- 1nents viciously circulated about small attendance at the Cummings meetings throughout the state was proven conclusively last night when cne of the largest audiences ever as- gembled at a political rally in this city greeted the candidate at the Ly- ceum theater. True, Mr. Cummings ! vvas not the only one on the bill there, having as running mate the Hon. Augustine Lonergan, of Hartford, the former Congressman from this dis- trict, who is after the scalp of one P. Davis Oukey. Even the genial Augus- tine might agree that the man from | stamford was the headliner. The Liartford gentleman is not a stranger here. In fact, his visits to New Brit- fright from a train, broke loose and dashed away.—San Francisco Chron- icle. An old darky met Judge Charles . Bush on the street the other day and said: “Jedge, Ize gotta law case I want you to nandle fur me” “But, S8am, I am now circuit judge.” “Yassar; I know dat, an’ dat's de reagon I wants to get you. You kin do better by me than anybody else.” —Hopkinsville New Era. If the election is to be very close, or just fairly close, one of the chief dangers from it will be that the next administration, whether repubiican or democratic, - wil'! not have a united congress to support it. , If Hughes should win, there is scarcely a chance that the senate would be republican; if Wilson should win, the house might easily be lost to his party. The next president, whoever he might be, would be seriously handicapped by a hostile senate or house. It is a time when the government should have the benefit of teamwork among all its responsible members—Springfield Re- publican. Your Corner. Don't you like yourlittle corner of the world ? Have you sweetened it with sun- shine ana with song? Have you tried to make it brighter as you have toiled. Have you tried to right its sorrow and its wrong? Do you think it’s just the finest spot youy know, And the noblest spot for effort that could be? Have you made it shed around a brighter glow? Have you tried to help the rest of us to see? Are you happy in your station and your time, And contented with the way that things go on; Have you made the little corner round you chime, Does it sparkle with the dewdrops in the dawn? Do the thousands that go marching on their way Stop to smile before the beauty that you've brought From the chaos and the turmoil of the fray By a little friendly purpose and sweet thought? Don’t you like the little corner He has given For your gladness and vour use and your delight? Have you made it just a little nearer Heaven, Have you turned it from its dark- ness and its night? It's your corner and it ought to he so fine No other corner anywhere could glow With the beauty and the gladness and the shine That your special little corner’s learned to know. Baltimore Sun. The Idmousine Look. (New York Tribune). Perhaps it is hypercritical of us. Riding in a limousine is a magnifi- cent and awful thing, and how should any plain mortal be expected to endure it without amendment to his soul? Still, from our sidewalk, we do observe and protest. Can no human being, even though to the limousine born, learn to ride in a closed car and avoid the closed face, that blank, toplofty, British aloof- ness of expression so alien to normal American worry and cheerfulness? There was a time not so many vears ago when every one who rode In a carriage on Fifth avenue had a carriage look. It was a badge of honor indicating arrival among those choice few who by virtue of a banlk account could afford to sacrifice their calves and colons to the boredom of riding behind their own r. That has vanished.

The oldtime aristocratic vehicular look has flivvered past re- call. \ The limousine look Is the smal re- maining survival. It attacks any happy laughing debutante or bank president the instant the door slams and they sink back in what is tech- nically known in our automobile lit- erature as ‘“miladi’'s drawing room on wheels.” It comes on or off the face very much as do the detachable tops that convert an ordinary tour- ing car of commerce into a minia- ture palace fit to stand before the blazing glory of an opera house with a uniformed attendant handing in a very charming and expensive wife. (The Russlan wolfhound is always left at home in the garage in these limousine pictures), It is from these same authentic sources that comes the one possible answer to our problem. It appears to be settled that in the near future no American family will be able to exist without a closed car. That condition obviously spells the doom of the lmousine look. With all de- mocracy riding behind glass the whole occasion for the look vanishes. It will not only be possible, but com- pulsory to ride in a closed car and Temaln an ordinary, open-faced hu- man being. “Treasury Romances” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Part of the touching literature of the war is a little tract that has just appeared In London of quasi-official inspiration named ‘“Treasury Ro- mance.” James Douglas, who has «compiled it, explains that often the patriotism of those who give to Brit- ain’s war fund is “buried flve fath- oms deep in the Treasury flles.” He has brought to light with reticence and discretion a few typical instances of sacrificlal loyalty. Here, for ex- ample, is a miner who sang at seven- teen workmen’s club and inns “for the beneflt of the war,” and thus gath- ered in driblets twenty pounds. An old woman writes, “I have much pleasure In sending you the pound,” which leads the compiler to add, “Her particular and probably her only pound.” A child of seven sends a shilling, a poor man transmits nine- pence. From lonely Fanning Island, in the South Seas, come two contribu- tions from natives of the Gilbert Is- lands at work there. A donkeyman aboard a ship bringing meat from Australia writes at the close of an im- passioned letter: “Do do not mind the grammar. Grammar does not count as a rule with gentlemen. I inclose a pound as a start.” And so it goes. The imperial hope of Eng- land is in such hearts as these. Long Distance Tegal Oratory. (The London Times). At the conclusion of the hearing in the case of the Amalgamated Prop- erties of Rhodesia (Limited) against the Globe and Phoenix Gold Mining Company (Limited), Mr. Upjohn, K. C., concluded his speech for the de- fendants, having addressed the court for forty-filve davs, the hearing hav- ing occupled one hundred and fort four days in all. He said he was not sure whether he ought not to apologize for the length of time he had occupied, but he felfgthat he could not blame himself. He had more than 60,000 questions and answers to go through, 5,000 pages of printed evidence, and 256 exhibits. In read- ing, noting and synthesizing the case for the purpose of placing it before the court he had occupied eighty- four days, not to speak of the work done by the other counsel for the de- fendants, Justice Bive sald Mr, Upjohn’s great speech was bound to provoke a great deal of criticism because of its length. But, having listened to every word of that speech, he was well qualified to offer an opinion upon it, and he wished to express his appreciation of it as ar example of unwearying in- dustr OTJCH! .LUMBAGO!

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is ¢he joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab- lets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 y and calomel’s dld-time en- emy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth” now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling —sick headache — torpid and are constipated, you'll find sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime.
