It is a particularly interesting sit- uatlon which results over thé grant- ing of the right of eminent domain by the state to the future college for women at New London. It is a right in excess of cther similar institutiéns in the state and gives it the right to. acquire land by condemnation pro- ceedings the sam, a city which has that provisien in its charter. With the granting of the right went the sig- nature of Governor Simeon E. Bald- win, ex-chief justice of the state, a fact which would give it a stamp of certainty because of his careful scru- tiny of such important measures. Now comes the decision of Judge Case, as the result of a test of the comstitutionality of the measure, which holds it to be unconstitutional and which prepares it for review by the supreme court. Much seems to rest upon the important provision of the state comstitution which declares that “the property of no person shall be taken for public use without just compensation therefor.” Whether the college can be considered as an in- stitution “for public use” is where the legislature andsJjudge Case differ, the jatter in his decision holding that 1t guch a right could be granted to “a private corporation engaged in a project, for the higher education of women, if is difficuit to see why a chartered hotel company might not fairly demand the same privilege.” Tt is certaln that if it is right to grant this to the New Lendon inst!- tution ft fs proper that all others should ‘recetve it on demand, a fact which means that rights of property owners are open to great and addition- al inromds. The matter is one which has an Interest in all sections and the supreme court’s ruling on the decision will be eagerly awaited. SOLUTION THROUGH MEDIATION. Though there was an overwhelming majority of the railroad firemen who voted in favor of a strike, it is the proper spirit which they have dis- played in seeking to exhaust pvepy possible effort to secure arbitration before resorting to anmy such harsh method as the vote sanctigns. In seek- ing mediation through the federal of- ficials a start has been made on what will doubtless prove the solutiof of the matter and be the means of get- ting the managers, representing -the firemen and the railroads together on an agreement and an established basis for proceeding with arbitration of the questions involved. It is the method of arbitration on which the parties at’ interest have been unable to agree. Each side rec- ognizes the value of arbitration ana in that position consideration is also giv- en to“the impertant part which the public plays in such a contest. The railroads admit that the firemen are entitled to a betterment of conditions. The engineers’ demands went through arbitration ang they are working under better v.ga There is no doubt con- cerning the efficiency of it and it be- comes the duty of each side to enter into arbitration for a fair adjustment of the method under which arbitration will be undertaken. The same logic applies in each instance. Mediation should accomplish for the arbitration plan what arbitration will do for the settlement of the other difficulties. ENGLAND’'S DUTY. Thai was a pathetic appeal which Captain Scott, the second to conduct a successful expedition to the south pele, made in his death message. He wrote it with full belief that theye was no chance for rellef and with the confi- Aence that they wonld be sought and found. too late for any mortal aid to benefit them but with the vivid ‘reali- zation _ that their accomplishment meant much to the worid, but not enough to overshadow the need of pro- viding for those at home. Reconciled to their fate his concern was for those dependent. He did his full duty and the stag- gering news of the fate of the expedi- tion only adds to the glory which will attach to the expedition, its accom- plishments and its sacrifices not only in the history of pelar explorations but in the world’s great events. England will net fall now in her duty to the families of the lost. They will not be allowed to experience any hardships begranse of the fate of the polar party. The dead gave their lives for the hon: or ‘.r thelr country an honor which s onfy eclipsed by Amundsen, the fortu- nate Norweglan explorer, and England will not allow that honor to go un- rewarded. Not only will the govern- ment discharge {ts duty but the people of Great Britain will not be dilatory in dolng their part should it be neces- eary. Tt would be but natural should ‘they “ upon discharging the duty to meet the situation properly, which should be.done by changing the iaw and thus provide for adequate travel expense. With Connecticut pointed to ‘as being in the grasp of the railroads, it behooves the legisiature to meet this problem squarely, bs traveling expense of legislators to the and enacting a new ing of the state under obligation to the railroads for the getting of its legis- lators to and from Hartford is a plan | which should pet be countenanced. MEXICO'S CRISIS. It is apparent that the crisis of the Mexican trouble is pending. Much will depend upon the outcome of the pres- ent attack upon the. Madero admin- istration in Mexico City, as to who will ‘be the next president of the re- public. Tt is by far the worst situa- tion which Madero has been called upon to face in his troublesome term of a vear and 4 half, the others pal- ing into insignificance beside it. The situation is one of much uncertainty Dbecause of the ficklenass of many of those upon whom depepdence is placed. There is an eagerness to be on the side of the one who is going to come out ahead, for political reasons as well as thus being best assured of continued existence. Mexico has been in an unsettled con- dition for vears. The outbreaks have concerned a mumber of sections under different leaders, hoping for personal gain. There has been continued strife Quring Madero’s term but there is rea- son to believe that Mexico's future is just as Dright under Madero as it would be_under-Diaz. In fact none of those who seek the office have any principles or qualifications which as- sure anything better. These outbreaks are revolutions in support®of no bet- ter form of government and there is no prospect, at the present time; that anything better would be offered. The Mexicans need to be ‘educated mup to the point of uniting in the support of the government for the welfare of all its people and the placing of it on a basis which will commamnd re- spect and recognition. As it exists to- day its future is clouded whoever is victor. * EDITORIAL NOTES. Japan is showing that they haven’t forgotten how to fight even if it is only a political riot, The Mexican trouble has developed fast in the last week and it promises plenty of trouble yet. All the bloody battles are not being fought in Turkey. Mexicans are show- ing that they are also fighters. Happy thought for today: This is the first week this winter when a dan- delion hasn’t been picked in this vicin- ity. The condition of William Rockefeller shows that in the choice of health or wealth, the former is preferable every time. i William Jennings Bryan is in Cuba for an interview with President Go- mez.

They’'s too much fun goin’ on for people to get tired enough to want to die. But Young folks let old folks get lonesome too much. Don’t you know an old person’'d live longer if you treat 'em like they was young? Now Lizzie's mother acts about 30 vears old, and she'll never see 60 again. Th’' reason is Lizzie don't do nothin’ to push ’er off. When thev’s. any shoppin’ to do, Lizzie just hollers out, ‘Come on, girlie, get your goloshes on ‘an’ let's go see th' movies.

Mr. Editor: What do we elect our representatives for? After reading the little piece in the | Norwich Bulletin yesterday morning, and observing the actionsiof the two Norwich representatives, I as an ar- dent supporter at the caucus and at the polls of those two men and as one | who must admit that I was fooled at the caucus for I did not know the lit- tle game which was worked previous | to the caucus at the meeting of one of the “locals.” I did not know that a few fellows had divided the fatted | calf amongst themselves at the “local” and that we poor fellows paid the freight net knowing that we had done | it and are still paying it. I thought I was there for a principle and later foung out that it was anything but principle that caused that stir as the bunch of us now realize how we were duped. I thought I was helping a union cause and have, found out that the men I helped sneered at the : idea of joining a union. They are the men [ helped to elect at the caucus and at the polls and now I have sot another reason to be ashamed of their - actions. Did we elect men to represent | Norwich or to represent some country towns? It seems that our men have decided that they represent Waterford insteaq of Norwich. The legislature of the state does not show very much respect to Norwich when they place those two Norwich representatives on the most worthless committees in the whole house or in the whole state. There must be a reason for it, and is all the talk true which we hear about those men? It is certainly a disgrace to Nor- wich to be represented in the manner it is but no bigger disgrace can be heaped upon the city the legis- lature than by the commiftees the two representatives were placed upon, that shows comclusively what the legisla- ture thinks of the Norwich represen- tatives—that places them!| Of course ! we could hardly expect much else from them when we consider the way we were fooled into nominating them. I have had my eves opened since I was | fooled. - | have learned a lot and it has taught me to he more careful. I believe in Norwich and 1 believe when we elect men it is their duiy | to support Norwich in every possible way and when I find that they do not then it is up to me to show them what | 1 think of their actions and how -they have deceived me. There is a lot upon this subect which 1 have got to say but as I am one of those who have been made a fool of I will stop for the present, but you will hear from | i us later. UNION wich, Feb.
