An important week is opening in the political arena and the choice and instruction of delegates will be the object of the campaign managers. In Nlinois the presidential primarties will be held for the first time, and that state is now being talked to from top % ‘bottom by candidates and speakers ta preparation for the test. With the spnouncement that the Taft managers will be satisfied if they get one-half of the delegates chosen this week, there is the indication that all is go- fng well, despite the strenuosity of Roosevelt and LaFollette. Such a gain will give Taft a total of 354 delegates to 112 for Roosevelt The state conventions will teem with 1 rest as, New York, Louisiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Maine and Ver- mont will hold forth. New York, as the primaries indicate, is a Taft state, and is considered that there will be smooth sailing at Rochester, but there gre chances of splits in some of the others. Vermont, though close, will doubtless be for Taft. Maine has shown a tendency for Roosevelt, though one district, at least, will be for Taft, while Kentucky is liable to be about equally divided. Michigan §s due for an exciting convention, as ® bolting delegation, favoring Roose- welt, will go to that convention. Tt is officially announced that there will be 1,078 delegates in the national eonvention, who, according to the na- tional committee's call, will consist of the following: Four delegates at large from each state and two delegates at large from each representative at large in the congress, iwo delegates from each congressional district, six dele- gates from each of the territories, and two delagates each from the Distriet of Columbia, Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philippine islands. The democrats have 1, SIZE OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. At this time, when Norwich is ap- proaching the date when the commit- tee on consolidated schools is to be chosen, the experience of other cities as to the size of the committee in charge throws valuable light on the subject. The tendency at the start, according fo the sentiment expressed by the boards of education, is to have « large committee, twelve being favor- ed. The selectmen who determine the mumber have reached no decision yet. The experience in Boston is that a small committee is more efficient and better results are accomplished when e few direct the work, so that a re- duction to nine on the committee is being advocated. Providence has thir- ty on its committee, with the result that the executive committee of that body does all the work, the big body being unwieldy. e actually do the work there and an effort is being made to secure a reduction to that num- ber. Tt is a sad commentary politics occupies too mu of the school committees, that playing ) of the time Fighting for supremay takes the time which should be devoted to improving the hools. The big citles have found »ut the advantage of small and prop- erly equipped committees, so that from them Norwich has the opportunity to profit by the mistakes and experience of other and larger cit CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE. That Uncle Sam has won the con- fldence of the people in the establish- ment of the postal savings banks is evidenced by the deposits that have been made throughout the country, the total of $20,000,000 brought from hiding places and deposited in the postal banks, being only about one-half of what it is expected the deposits will total at the end of the year. Of course the depositors cover a wide territor and have to their credit but little more than the depositors of the Norwich Savings society, yet they have had but a short time to get used to the system, which promises to bacome a big favor- Agaln, it is'money which has been hoarded up and is now being put into circulation, to result in the depositors getting Interest for the first time in thousands of instances, and lending encouragement for further savings, It gives the opportunity for those not desiring to use savings banks, to the same thrift and desire for saving that =0 pervades the French nation, where savings are kept until some good bond can be secured, and a great part of the peasants’ money Is in that way in- vested, ‘What the postal savings system will come to be can be imagined from the fact that less than one-seventh of the postoffices of the country have been designated as postal banks. This shows that the fleld is a large one yet 'r the development of the system and he placing of it on a profitable basis.

Among the minor candidates for the presidential nomination by the repub- licans, there is reason to give some attention to the stiff fight which La- Follette is making against Roosevelt. Whereyer Roosevelt sets up his camp, there LaFollette can also be found, making great inroads, for he is a born fighter, and it develops that he has quite a following. North Dakota gave hint their support early and will stand by bhim strong. Wisconsin, which twice defeated him for governor before he won, went solid for the senator ‘without Roosevelt's name being men- tioned. In California the strength of the Roosevelt boom seems to be giving way and LaFollette is stronger on the | coast than Governor Johnson, one of the seven governors to pick Roose- velt, would have people think. The LaFollette leaders oppose Roose- velt on the grounds that he is not a | real progressive, but is using the movement to advance his campaign. LaFollette's followers, way down in their hearts, know Taft 11 be the nominee, and it is believed they will be for the president when the proper time comes. The display of strength by LaFollette and the efforts he is making in this campaign are in the interest of his candidacy for the pres- idential honors in 1916. Believing that Taft will win out there is need of playing the game to help their own interests when the time comes. PRICES ARE ADVANCING. It is regrettable to note that the price of beef and other meat is again on the jump and that a good advance is in prospect now that the prosecu- | tion of the packers is over and they have been found not guilty. Just pre- vious and during the inquiry and pros- ecution prices tumbled and there was a period of relief that was refreshing, but the verdict has taken the bars down and the cost of defending the suit can now be easily regained. In this connection, it is interesting to note that retall dealers in the metropolis claim that while there are less catt received because of the flood in the Mississippi valley, that the conditions are not such that there should be such a stiff advance, for while the floods may delay the cattle, the production is not cut off. Following, as it does, in the line of higher prices to add to the high cost of living, it is interest- ing to note that it follows the action of the Standard Oil company, which, | after its dissolution and reorganization | under the direction of the government, soon announced an increase in the price of oil, and followed it up witk the announcement of a 2900 per cent dividend. Had the flood occurred du ing the trial of the packers, it is more | than likely that prices would not | have heen affected. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Window glass should not be cleaned with soap, as this treatment renders the glass cloudy. A little borax, pearl- ine or household ammonia may be added to warm water. An excellent substitute for cloths in window washing is an old newspaper or a chamois skin which should be wrung from the water and passed rap- idly over the glass. To remove a rusty screw, apply a hot iron to its head for a few minutes and then remove it in the usual way with a screwdriver. The screw will then come out easily Both water and chamois should be clean and the water should be changed as often as it becomes cloudy. A soft cloth moistened in alcohol and rubbed on glass adds luster to it. Breadboards and other wooden uten- sils may be kept white and stainless by scrubbing with soap and lukewarm water, to which may be added a little common soda or household ammonia. To clean woodwork steep tea grounds in a tin pail or pan for half amn hour. Strain through sieve and use the tea to wash all varunished paint, but it should not be used on the unvarnished paint.
