Tele; Syt o & Norwich, Wednesday, July 7, 1909 B0TH ANNIVERSARY JUBILEE BOOK. l'h- 250th Anniversary Jubilee book fMustrated * much more extensively than the Jubilee book of 1859 and be | in every way as desirable a book’ to . own. The facilities for making such & memorial volume are greater now than they were 50 years ago, and at the same cost a very much superior wolume can, be produced, The 250th Jubllee book will have reports of the #ull programme and reports of,the ser- moris and addresses with such other matter as may be of interest. There will be & serles of old pictures of Norwieh which will really make this the most valuable book ever printed about Norwich, yith the exception of Miss Perkins' “Antient Homes of Old Norwich,” which is one of the most interesting and readable local histories ever issued in New England. Subscribers for the book should designate upon the coupon which may be clipped from the advertisement how many books they should like, and the style of binding. The old Jubilee books of 1869 were in quick demarg @nd at $5 a volume, and this book fifty wears from now is likely to be equally valuable. We intend to print the names of officers of civic socleties and military companies and to make fuller certain details of the parade. Those citizens wanting coples will please send in their names as prompt- 1y as possible. ANOTHER HALF-CENTURY OF ENDEAVOR. Having becomingly celebrated the 250th anniversary of the founding of . the town, and the 125th of the estab- lishment of the city, Norwich now finds itself in trim for a new half- century start and & new progressiye record. This celebration has been a great eredit to all concermed: and Norwich has sustainedsher reputation of never doing anything by halves. There is ‘ ‘mothing but praise for the well-de- slgned programme and the splendid mwork of the active 'committeemen, The historical reproductions, under the direction of Messrs. Keppler and Leavitt, were a delight to all who saw them, and went off with a spirit and rprising to the great audience, awhich was not aware of the possibili- tles of the veiled past of Norwich in the way of providing refined enter- tainment; and a visitor of note from Hartfordl e¥pressed the opinfon that the ‘parade was the finest the state bad seen in a quarter of a century. "The decorations of the business streets and of the private residences of our citizens wére a 'surprise to visitors from the metropolis, who are accus- tomed to such manifestations of clvic pride, because $of their abundance, good taste and bprilllaney. City hall was a beautiful plcture by day and a fairy palace at night, llluminated by strings of incandescent electric lights outlining it to the very peak of the lbelfry tower. What citizen did not feel proud over the echools and industries of the town as attractively presented by over a half-hundrell floats of beautiful design which represented them. The automo- Bbile parade and the pageant upon the Thames were most pleasing; and the fireworks from the top of Rogers hill Was witnessed for miles around . This was truly a brilllant home affair. i Norwich, like any one who has per- formed a pleasant duty, realizes today that it had in hand a.heavy task and that but for the liberality of a few of our citizens and the talent and con- stant labor of many others this proud record could not have been fnade. Te ) make such a festival for the people has been to a large number double work and strenuous work without recom- pense or praise. In fact, there has been a flood of complaints and free eriticism from various sources which resulted from a misconception of ‘the situation and from apprehensions for which there was no foundation. Citizens, we are looking back now upon one of the best celebrations ever held in a New England city of equal population and facilities, and we re: iz¢ the labor, the personal sacrifice of time and the lavish expenditure of money which the affair cost. From President Winslow Tracy Willlams to the last man of the organized force everything was done right—who could have done better? ‘When Mr. Willlams took President Taft to entertain as his guest he as- \sumed an’ expense which showed what he was willing to do for the pleasure Ot the people and the good name of his natiye place. He was in all his acts in approveable relation to his guest, the committee and, the people} and while there is no evidence that "he asks it, is entitled to the Appreci- ative commendation and the full en- dorsement of all the people. The actiVe members of the execu- tive «and ‘auxilliary committees, ana the eminent and scholarly gentlemen who by thelr presence and thefr fitful words of praise and hearty words of cheer gave light and life to the beca- sion, have not performed a thankless task for the glory of the celebration is their glory, and all the enthuisiasm and pralse for the mastérful perform- ances and the peauty and the grandeur of the occasion is praise of their able and effcient work. The Bulletin doffs its hat to them ally and’ believes that in the name of the city of Norwleh and of the town it expresses honest public -sentiment when It says: “Well done, good and faithful servants!” Happy thought for today: We put ourselves into our work—into our dec- ‘orations gs well as our utterances. Norwich has no redson to blush over ‘what she has wrought. L Bl e it S < A lemon- famine Il not as hu as | 1ottery all | equate amount, of work for ary is.an tnlmu\t of rm theory. * commerce and labor has mfi- é rule. Stmplified, it 1s this the clerks within his purview mus work. Shirking is not to be tolerated. The job fo be held must show results in labor performed and lnf‘nat dll- played. As & business rule there seems: to be nothing the matter with the above. Looking “busy Is an old trick, but not a commendable accomplishment. Secretary Nagel is likely to win the admiratioh of all honest American citizens. The employes of no business.| house would object to such a require- ment as this and there is no reason why a political job should mot call for promptness, interest and efficiency. A WHITE-DOMED SYMBOL. The city of Baltimore is going to make the dome of its new city hall as “pure as snow," and while other cities have their golden domes shining: be neath the sun, this great and growing city so near to Washington and fts capitol, proposes to make its most most striking architectural structur pure white as a message and a token to the people. With reference to this the Baltimore American says: “It is no whitewashing job, let us be- lieve, that has been under way during the past week or so, and which has transformed the topping of the munici- pal capitol from its smudged status to one of celestial whiteness. 1Is there any who would call to mind the say- ing hbout ‘whited sepulchres’ as to the outside and ‘ravening wolves' as to the inside? 'Be the thought dismissed. Let us rather belleve that the whiting of the dome is a message and a token to all who behold, mot that the sing of various commission beneath the dome are to be concealed with an out- er covering. Something different. Let us live in the faith that there is to e an inner purificstion that will go to-the bone.” The American believes in a well- founded, hope instead of base suspi- cions and it the symbol serves to make corrupt practice acts unneces- sary and men in public life better, all cities should adopt it. CUTTING DOWN OPPORTUNITY. The habit of meddling with the fi social life of the ‘people under pretext of bringing the average pla of morality and intelligence higher is to a degree deceptive and a wrong to the very class it professes to benefit. The welfare of the child is so closely. looked after that the old-fashioned open réad fs closed. The Bridgeport Telegram shows how these modern restrictions work, in the following paragraphst “The open road Is closing fast in so far as the children are ¢oncerfied. It is not wider than the old European pathways, which had room for so few eager feet. The secretary of the New York child labor committee has just warned those who want to try their strength at vacation work in the time- honored fashion that they must pre- sent to their temporary employers certificates that they are fourteen vears old and also a certificate from the board-of health. They must sub- mit a satistactory school recorl show- ing that they have, attended school for at least 130 days within the it school ar and that they have attained a certain rank in their studies. “In order to get a summer place to run errands, at two dollars a week, a child- who lives in New York must present birth certificate, certificate of graduation, passport or baptismal cer- tificate, other documentary evidence if vequired, and a physician’s certificate. There will,be no new, editions of “Poor Boys Who Became Famous' in the coming years. The doctrinaries will take care of that.” EDITORIAL NOTES. a pieayune people do small orwich is not in that class. They things. The American Declaration of Inde- pendence never grows uninteresting or stale. The 250th anniversary drunk wjll not get into the Jubilee book—the place for it is in jail. Another hot wave is on the way, but Norwich is all ready for it. Heat cannot make us grouchy now. Cuba in natfonally reeognizing the and cockfighting places itself where America was in its dark age. If this recess does not lend strength and activity to the Connecticut legis- lature it should go to some resort for a rest. Heaven appears to recognize that Norwich, is worthy of special favors. What celebrant ever saw three better days in July? The July bride does not receive the compliments the June bride does, but no one dares tell the bridegroom she is not just as sweet. ‘When the Rose of New England puts off her fancy dress and gets into her industrial duds once mbre she must hustle more than ever. The spirit of Norwich was such on Monday that we could spare the spirit of '76. That was sufficlently expressed in the fireworks on the hill. In some cities fce is so dear that ice-cream makers have had to shut up their factories because they can no longer do business at a profit. 1t is difficult to convince some men that it is best to obey law; but it is a profitable thing for any community DREADFUL DANDRUFF Girl's Head Encrusted — Feared Loss of All Her Hair—Baby Had Milk- Crust—Missionary’s Wife Made PERFECT CURES B\ URES BY CUTICURA "Forwml] years Tay husband was missiona tha gouzhmt Evecy m an atmosphere moro o or fees rouble d.nHmu ermhd tb it (hn was llnrmed (cr fear she would, lose € bair.
