No better demonstration o6f the effi- ciency of the moter driven fire appa: atus especially for the peculiar physi- cal conditions to be encouptered in this city, could have beén arranged than the comparison which was made possible by the call of the fire depart= ment to Orchard street. Located at the highest point in the city, whers the water préssure 18 at its lowest and a hard climb invelved, the auto chemical found no trouble in making the run. That the fire engine, -the necéssary piece of apparatus for that focality to get a stream of water was. unable to negotiate the hills until the auto had come to its aid, shows that the motor driven fire wagon has prop- erties of particular value to Norwich The ability to negotiate the hills, in dry or wet weather, ®the speed, utility and low cost of maintenance all stand to the credii of the aufe.

What a hold the anniversary of the birth of George Washington has upon the people of this country, though it was 181 vears ago today that he be- san his career, is shown by the atti- tude of business in giving up the en- tife day in respect to his memory, theugh it falls on the big business day of the week. This.however | is the gen- eral indlination of the business men far and wide and 18 one of the best indications of the determination for an unbroken continuance of the observ- ancs of the anniversary by making it a holiday. Tt is no more than is due as an honor to the father of his coun- try. This country has been able to re- ceive and enjoy _an appreciable amount of benefits and liberty through the great work and leadership of George Washington, whose able direc- tion of the early affairs of the nation gave it the start which has resuited in placing it in its present enviable position. Too much oredit cannot be given to Washington for his guidance and counsel. He labored in hard times but we are sharing the benefite of his forethought and wisdom. Washing- ton’s life and example has its lessons which can never be forgotten ' and surely nothing should be done in these days which would fail to show our pro- per respect for him who is “first. in war, first in peace and first in the Hearts of his countrymen.” OSSR S ENGLAND'S SUFFRAGETTES. The militant suffragettes in England are pursuing a course which, if un- dértaken elsewhere, would insure not only failure to their cause, but pun- ishment such as would be devoid of svmpathy, and rightly deserved. They must admit that whatever attémpt has been made to put a check upon their actions, has been only nalf heart- ed and inefficient, chiefly for the pur- pose of denying them the advertising and attention which would come from prosecution such as would ordinarily follow the reign of crime which they have caused. The use of . stones, hatchets, acid, fire and bombs has aarked the entire campaign in behalf of the ballot in Bngland and Ire- land. There is m revolt in behalf of that cause which the government has falled to put down chiefly because women and people who know better are concersed therein. Such & thing would not be tolerated any leagth of time were these same people fighting for increased wages or a livelihpod. The authorities permit the disobed- ience of law and order, but the cause makes no aeadway. Resentment takes the place of sympathy and a compar- ison with. the miethods used in this country shows the voice of the earnest advocate has a far greater appeal than the firebrand of the militant. England is getting to & point where it is going to do its duty and when it does the hunger strike, with plenty of food in .reach, will be allowed to run its céurse and it i8 safe to say it will aot. win. For the first time in history a New Yerk police inspector niust stand trial f& New York is te be really cieamed G2 b6 may ROt Le the last oBe. carry out his arrangements to plunge into the amtarctic again. There is a ertain fascination about this kind of exploration which undoubtedly has itsl opough appeal ibut there is also a serious in- terest in the benefit which the obtalned from their efforts wili be science. The value of these trips is great. The Scientific Ameérican says: “The meteorological observations alone am- ply repay all the hardships that must be endured. For a knowledge of ant- arctio blizzards, of atmospheric tem- peratures at great heights, (determined by baloons) of barometgic pressures, of wind veloeities, of hygroscopic con- ditions, is absolutely Indispensable in bullding up a science of weather fore- casting, which will be of inestimable benefit to mankind. lLong range weather prediction is still to be at- tained. When the meteorologist can aétually tell us what will be the state of the weather a week hence, fo that every farmer can prepare himself, it will be fotind that the scientifically trained men-who braved by icy blasts of the arctic and antarctic regions, who lived on oily seal meat for months, who efen endured sclirvy, contributed their share in placing the science of meteorology on this exact basis.” Much remains to be learnmed from the polar regions for the revelation of the hidden truths which interest sciefice and they are being sought with little fear of the dangers. The ser- vice which explorers can give over- rides any thoughts of hardships. EDITORIAL NOTES. < The senatorial deadlocks continue to hang on like the war in the Bal- kans. The democratic house is making a fine demoustration of its policy of re- trenchment. The use of bombs by the English suffragists simply places them among the anarchists. Circumstanées are demonstrating that it only takes a smile and plenty of faith to be an iceman. It will keep the moving picture op- erator busy catching all that trans- pires In the city of Mexico. It is a good thing that the Mexican Wwomen are not impressed by the ac tion of their English sisters. There would seem to be a prolific field for a safe and sane anti-suffra- gette campaign over in England. Mexico will certal be successful if its object is to avoid a second or even a six year term for its presidents. Happy thought’for today: The auto show is a great thing If only to bring out the old fashioned features of last year's car. This is the proper séason for the allies or- Mexico to issue a schedule of battles, revolts or skirmishes which may be arranged. A party_of eastern business men are to visii*South America. They will have.de interesting a story to tell as they will find sights to see. How soon another immigration bill will be brought before congress is uncertain, but there is no reason why the many good features should not be secured. It seems to be a foregone conclu- sion that William Jennings Bryan has “@accepted” the post of secretary of state. There are those however who think it is a foreclosure. A million apd a quarter has been spent making alterations in the Olym- pic as the result of the Titanic dis- aster. It is to be hoped there will never be a disaster which will prove that it isn't an “unsinkable ship.” _The announcement that work on the | new Thames river bridge is to be started soon is encouraging. Tt can- not come too soon for the benefit of New London and Groton which the old bridge when remodelied will be. A president is elected for four vears but the democrats refuse to approve the nominations he is entitled to make | and has made in the past few months. ‘Will- Mr. Wilson's appointive power be good for only three and one-half | months? It is unfortunate that England is not ! responding with any greater enthus- iasm to the call for support of the fund for Capt. Scott and his men’s families. It would be humiliating lo‘ make it an internationa} instead of a' national fund but it may come to it.| It is a ridiculous situation which permits the attorney of the New Ha- ven road, the opportunity of pointing out to the geéneral assémbly (hat it Woéuld put the genéral askembly in | a bad light to require the road to fur- nigh them transportation worth $37,- 509 for 37,200. That should be the first view of the legislators, ! heavenward messages and to respond compensa what he learns. Nature does not let him slop around and win any great success; but she seems to be graceful toward the dullest to'let them see that good work brings large re- wards. Man cannot hurry up nature— he has never found any short cuis to success in her domain. He can imi- iate natural ditione when he has learned his lessons well, and force plants and vegetables in the off sea- sons; but nature will often disappoint him when he has done and is doing his best. Man under the tutorship of na- ture has developed wonderful skill and power, but there is a thus far and no farther regulation of their relationship which makes certain the pupil can never equal his teacher. The check put upon man is a reminder that he is the child, not the master. Some people lay great stress upon “the importance of being in good com- pany: but théir idea of the subject is rather narrow and not always what it seems to be. Good company that quarreis is far from being ideal, and a great.deal of this everyday good com- pany ' both quarrels and gossi A person is in good company with good book d they never bore him. A rson is in good company when he is with the sunshine, the flowers and the| birds, none of which are capable of saying or doing unpleasant things. To be alone with one's self is being in #ood company . when eelf honors the principles which ennoble manhood. To be alorie with God 18 to be in the best of company if yot1 dwell inslove, not in tear. Being in good company does not necessarily mean surrounding one’s self with good fellows, or clasay peo- ple althbough this is the general inter- pretation of the phrase. Some good company is not elevating—how, then, can it be good? Ever day ought to have a good mes- sage for every heart. The wireless message is no new thing, for it -was said centuries ago to those who have ears “Let them hear!” Good messages are worth listening for, and the turn- ing of a deaf ear to messages of any other sort Is a sign of wisdom. Thére is @ place in the world for every men. This is o message which should not only be cherished but it should inspire every man to find his placa. Good cheer is a dynamo that works for ev- ery man's success, and it is to be had without money and without price. Jen't this a good message for the heart to nourish and the; mind to contem- plate? It is just keeping fuel alwavs at hand to fire up the spirit to keep busy and sweet. To have a head without windows and a heart without hope is what makes groveling worms of men. We were designed to take to them, and why do we not? Ii is the man whe finds and fills hie place in this world that finds peace. We talk about black sheep, but do you realize that there was never & sheep as black as painted. Have.aou ever noticed black graduated into white and recognized how it passes from black to slate, and from slate to gray. and from gray to a gray haze, which seems in some way to blend with the white. Man in his charac- ter most resembles blended colors, not positive colors.

What a DOOF opinion of one a, man must have to even proffer a price to him. Real men realize the insult .and do not see the price: and they know at heart the tempter is a criminal. To accept a price is to sacrifice manhood. Most advertisina pays, but it has never been a fortune-maker to adver- tise one’s own importance. . It is not in good taste to do it: and yei some people will indulge in _appearing and seeming and posing. What they ard as conduct of merit looks to others as eévidence of weakness. What is a fecling of importance compared to resl usefulness? A mwell is capa- ble of being a force, but it must take somne other form than a soap bubble. it is what our employer thinks importance, that makes our ary advance, not what we think of it. A feeling _of importance trips men out of goud jobs: and often checks them from geiting into Eood society.

Tenth Prize Letter -~ Neorwich, Conn., Jan. 29, 1913. SCHWARTZ BROS., Gentlemen:— It is with pleasure that I write to you in regards, having had dealings with you - in the past. I may say the goods that I bought of you have proved to my entire satisfaction. They have proved just what you claimed them tobe. You have always handled thém with the most care- ful and prompt atfention, and also with pleasantness, politeness, and courtesy. 'Wishing you success, Yours sincerely, MR: MARTIN J. FARRELL, 4 Whitaker Ave., City. Name Address is its own reward. The compensation for doing right is to be found, not nec- essarily In 6 per cent bonds, not in a at in Congress, but in the satisfied spirit of him who does right. - The trouble with most people is that they are not logical in their demands. They want something they do not pro- vide for. Sowing spring wheat they ex- pect besides a considerable yield of let- tuce and cucumbers in the crop. Many & man who has lived with a conscience void of offense, with kindly helpfulness toward all, geis the notlon that, as a matter of course, the horn of plenty is going to be overturned upon his head. Tt may be an#l it may not be. At any | rate, iot him look for his reward in the right quarter—in his own soul. What- ever his wealth or poverty, in joy and Peace, he may outrank an emperor. ‘We speak of punishment as coming to a man. In reality it comes in & man. No punishment the law can inflict equals that which the evil doer brings upon himself. Similarly, the reward of righteousness is not something that comes to men, but a work wrought within their own spirits. Simpkins, who goes to the gymna- slum every Tuesday and Wednesday evening, is sure of his reward. It wiil not come probably in the form of $50 bills. It will come in the form of in- creased physical strength. Through exercise he gains the power to exercise harder. Tompkins, whe. habitually tells the truth, is sure of his reward. It may not reach him in'the guise of some fat political office. But it will surely come in increased power to know the truth and in hightened disposition to love it. And in a universe where every make- shift is finally to be dissolved that is no meager gain. Billikins, who centrols his temper, is sure of reward.. Perhaps his salary will be increased each January and perhaps it will not he. Whether it is or | parts. of the L. & not he is gaining a spiritual prize. His power of self-contro] is waxing always greater. He is learning to keep all his baser instincts in leash. He. who overcomes in life's battle is never promised a crown of rubles and emeralds ‘and diamonds. But he is promised what makes any orown of earthly mdnarch jook like a faded bau- ble. He is promised a orown of life, And life is all that counts. The good man gets his richest reward in the consciousness of righteous en- deavor: All that he asks is that he be allowed to* p at his high quest through the that lte beyond. Ten- nyson put t oase in memorahle words when he wrote: “Glory of warrior, glory of orator, glory of song, Paid ‘with a breath fiying by to be lost on an endless sea; Glory o fvirtue, to fight, to strugsle, <o right the wrong Nay, but she almed not at lover of glory she; Give her the glory of going on and still to pe.
