At the Michigan state republican convention there was unusual enthus- fasm among the republicans, and it was a noticeable fact that this was particularly so in the endorsement of | the republican administration and President Taft. It is Interesting to note the reason in that section for the shrewd and sensible men of that state taking such a_united stand, and this is the way the Detroit Free Press sees it: | “Mr. Taft's first term has brought PEACE. The nation has had four years of tranquil relations with the World. It has been peace with honor. America stands today pre-eminent on earth, Her diplomacy has been firm. conserving the due rights of the Unit- ed States, Infringing on the rights of none, defending with dignity what is our own, asking nothing that is not our own. Peace at home and abroad —that 18 one result of the last four years of republican control of the na- . *on’s government. “It has been a time of PROGRESS. In federal and state affairs there has been no backward step, Bafely and sanely we have gone ahead, The lot of the less fortunate has been Im- proved. Our laws have been adfusted to bring more equitable distribution of burdens. Not in all the reckless de- mands of agitators, but In every way that experienced and wise judgment indlcated to be for the betterment of our relations with one another the course of events has been onward and Progress is a second result of_this administration's .efforts. “PROTECTION has been maintained. The industries of the naticn have been safoguarded from disastrous com- petition with alien peoples. The la- ‘borer has been saved from disastrous reduection of wages to the level of for- elgn lands. He enjoys the highest re- THE REPUBLICAN CLUB. It is likely to-organize & republican club here will be accompanied by an enthusiastic re- sponse and the prospects scem ex- ceedingly bright for the establishment of a branch of the National Republi- can league to co-operate with the re- publican town committee in advanc- ing the interests and principles of the republican party. Such a club has a wide field for operation and its or- ganization has the endorsement of the town committee. It is time that some "10cal organization should be launched for the pushing of the interests of the party In national, state and local elec- tions. It is of vital importance to the party and o the voters at large that such a force be set at work to insure the success of the party nominees. This efforc of the National league is being heartily received throughout the state, and large working clubs, which will be permanent, are being formed, and they can give great im- petus to the work of the town com- | mittees. It is a force which is deeply interested in the advancement of re- publican principles. 1t has dome a | wonderful work under the guidance of John Hays Hammond ‘and at a time when the new party movement is atm- | 1ng to deteat tho republican party and | bring about the election of a free- trade president and congress, its work is particularly appropriate. . Norwich republicans should find-in the club an organization for furthering and bet- tering its interests in every way. It should get a large working member- ship. UNIFORM CHILD LABOR LAWS. Throughout the country a strong |ef- fort is being made i behalf of ‘the children and tha reduction in the amount of child labor, which in many sections is surprisingly large. Many states have taken up the matter and put through the legislature laws ‘which require compulsory schooling’ until fourteen, and laws which provide a penalty for employing children under a certain age. The welfare of the chil- dren and the nation is of such import- ance as to make the necessity of this legisjation perfectly obvious. Upon it depends the future of the country and its people. Ivery child ghould get at least a common school educa- tion to fit him to_ properly take care of himself through life, be a better citizen and a benefit to soctety in general. Experience in business, and all lines of work, 1s necessary, but it needs the foundation at least of such an- education as the common schools afford, it it 1s impossible to, get more, to bring out the best in the individual, Many forces are at work today in the interests of the children. The child’s bureau established but a few that, the determination tarn for his work that fs receéived{,,ning ago by the president, is des- anywhere on earth. He has abundant| (neq to be an important factor in bet- opportunty for occupation, for our|y..ng conditions where children are manufectories are busy and their de-| . ;.crned, while the national organ- mand for workers Is Incessant. Thely,atons which are devoting their en-| employer and the farmer are equally | o energy to the reduction of child content.

The they can pay liberal wages to their y)ition of child labor would be: the employes and still satisty themselves “The sum of all these s PROSPER. | ‘ITY.

Tt is ah accomplishment upon which re- Nance g be placed and Presldent Taft Wthe best équipped with record ‘of past performance, platform and at- ‘titude to continue such for the benefit | for met” of country and voter. THE FLEET MOBILIZATION, . ‘That will be a magnificent display of vessels of the Atlantic fleet which ghthers in New York hatbor next week for review by President Taft, This will be the greatest exhibition of war- ships with which a harbog has been favored and should attract & small ar- my of sightseers. With 122 warships lined up for inspection it will be an imposing sisht and will far out-dis- tance the review of the German fleet in the North sea last month by Emperor «William. Not only more vessels, but larger guns; In fact, there will be elght 13-inch guns, of which the Ger- man vessels had none, and of the smaller size guns the American fleet will have many more than was car- ried by the German vessels. These vessels will have 27,000 enlisted men and 1,000 commissioned officers. These great floating forts are all necessary in the maintenance of peace and while the display of these vessels of the Atlantic fleet will out-distance others, it does not mean that this is the leading naval power. The Ameri- can navy is among the leaders, as it should be, with its extensive coast line, but the policy adopted by the recent congress failed to contribute to the yearly quota which was demanded to keep it in line with the naval con- struction of the other powers, Battle- ships come and go without participat- ing In warfare, but the expense is jus- tifiable from the fact that far greater sums would be spent and lives sacri- ficed in conmflicts which they prevent. NO INTERVENTION LIKELY. With the advance information that the report of the senate sub-commit- tee named to investigate the revolu- tions in Mexico s likely to report fa- vorably to intervention, it cannot but appeal to the people at large that they have such a safe a man in the presidential chair, who does not intend to plunge this country into strife ex-| cept as a last resort. It is undoubt- edly true that the committee's inves- tigation has resulted in determining the fact that Mexican revolutionists have received aid from this country, and it 1s a fact that all aid to Orozco, the rebel leaders, at the present time, has been stopped; shipments of dyna- mite across the border, where it is ex- tensively used for mining, even being denled, that, whatever the, efror on former uprisings, the intention is now to check all such aid from this coun- try, upon which all such revolutions depend. It would be a most unwise step for this country to plunge into war with Mexico, and it s with satistaction hat the country at large understands *hat the president is not given to any ch hasty and dangegous action, This s not the age when uncontrollable am- tions should be allowed to sway ment. It is evident that the bad ample of alding previous revolution- has been stopped in this revolu- u, and it will be the insistence upon =uch abstinence that will reduce Mex- o's uprisings. Diplomacy rather than nloodshed can better settle the exist- ing trouble. The farmers of the west are being told By the bull moosers that the ‘bumper crops, not the administration, give us prosperity. If it w f the protected industrias w thess crops bring’ would best thing for all concerned, the em- ployer as well as the employe. EDITORIAL NOTES.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO 3 e et e e s St ( \ Woman in Brown—"Oh, how do you do? Tve been so anxlous to see you ever since I first heard that’ about your friends the Drapers.” Woman in Gray—"Please do not cali them my friends. I think so much of that word that I hate to hear it used in such a connection. Wasn't it dread- ful? You know, they say that he spec- nlated terribly! And I really believe she knew ail about it all the time. Would you believe it? She s such a smiling creature! Here's Mrs. Pren- tice.” Mrs, Prentice—‘How do you both do? My only reason for coming to teas like this is to get a chance to sec my friends. Nobody ever calls any more. Or, at least, nobody ever comes to my house. Il wager a cooky that vou were talking about the Burrs. Do you know, I'm.not gurprised a bit. I've said so right along. Why, Mr. Burr used to sit on the porch without a col- lar on! He did! You can ask any- body. And the tales they tell! Dear me, 1 wouldn't repeat them for mil- lionis of dollars, even to dear friends like you. Her hats!” ‘Woman in Brown—‘I never knew her, but when I moved into this nelgh- borhood first I was told about the woman who wore the queer hats.” Woman in Blue—“Oh, ves, indeed. Why, she never seems to consult the fashions at all. Just wears what she thinks is becoming, that's all, and it's always the same sort of hat, every meason. 1 don’t wonder that her hus- band got tired of her.” Woman in Gray—"They say that when the Drapers moved away you ould have taken a wagon load of rub- bish out of their basement alone. They didn't pretend to clean things up. The janitor told me he never had so much work. He wouldn't come u- and do anythir~ for me until I offered him double the usual amount because he was so tired carting out the trash.” Womap in Brown—"They threw away such good things, too. My little boy found lots of things to play with there—an almost good egg beater, a flower pot and a lot of other things. They were both of them so extrava. ant!” B%\rs. Prentice—"Oh, dreadfully! But even they did not hold a candle to that young widow on our street, Mrs., Du- vall.” ‘Woman in Blue—"Is she a widow? [ was wondering.” Mrs. Prentice—“She sald so. That's all T know about it.” Woman in Gray—'"You can't tell by what people say about themselves. Jsn't she just back from the west® Reno or somewhere?” Mrs, Prentice—"She has a niece out west whom she was visiting, so she says. the president's, it's certain that we have a president who rightfully de- serves the support of business and | worRingmen. In a Kansas court recently a judge granted 27 divorces In two hours. Kansas is now talking of changing its divorce laws to prohibit the re- marrlage of the guilty party during the life of the innocent, and provid- ing that the divorce shall not be ef- fective untll one year after the judge decides to grant it. This would make divorces less popular. e S N |} IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN Realism. I like to read no book that makes upon me the impression of ugliness or of dirt. No book where all the characters are low and sordid has any excuse for existence. For truth is never ugty. No group of people are ever totally depraved. And an artist is not a person who can see only deformed or perverted things. If he had eyes he could see some beau- ty_and grandeur in anything. For this .reason 1 caanot like “Madame Bovary,” where every figure is that of some kind of a pitiable ob- ct. Realism is right. But ugliness is never real. To describe it, and reveal only ugliness, is to argue an ugly soul Sudermann’s “Song of Songs” is de- testable. We want authors who can speak of the humbler walks of life. We read no more such slops as the Duchess or Mary Jane Holmes wrote. Their tales were rosy and pretty enough but were unreal. . We want realists who can see the most. real of all things, the beauty and grandeur of our dust.

They are positively the worst tasting things @ ever knew.” Woman in Blue—"“They mever have anything very good to eat here. I. isn't worth coming far for. You'll mo- tice that everybody here has come from just around the neighborhood.” ‘Woman in Gray—“She calls it neighborhood party, I believe. Is that Miss Vance over there? How thin she is!

I assure you she is quite graceful.” Mrs. Prentice—"Oh, my dear, you misunderstand me. I meant the shawl that woman over there is wearing— white crepe, isn't it? What is your aunt busy with now? She is always doing something interesting.” Woman in Gray—“She has been working 6n our family tree and has only a few more branches to look up. She has been reading me some oid letters written from small towns over a hundred years ago.” ‘Woman in Blue—"They must be in- teresting.” Woman in Gray—"“They are.
