Whenever a city recognizes the presence of continued inefficiency in municipal government then is the time and the polis the pi manifest- ing a disapproval of such method Every citizen should want a clean, competent and economical manage- ment of city affairs and the majorit of the voters cannot give their san: on to such a desire and not use their influence to accomplish it on election day. Recognizing the fact that every sction is important and that Nor- wich s in need of a change in the administration of affairs, the op- portunity is presented to those who stand for good government, the p ng of the city on a proper business s and the elimination of the con 1 of government which aims at pay- ing political debts at the expense of srves and ought to re- wi AR which it d nity is the needed requirement to ain good government. The voters of Norwich have before them in the nom- inees of the republican party men who an be depended upon to accomplish Whatever may be the problems which the admi ration c the com- e depended upon to handle them with judgment, and attention to econ- the city, and not to the detriment of the needs which lie fore them nited ac behalf not only n 200d government first is the plain duty of the electors of Norwich, SHYING AT THE FACTS. It makes little difference what kind sislation is attempted it shouid be adopted without a thorough anding thereof f m all stand points, that a proper knowledge of what fs intended to become law should ba furnished. The same applies espe to the tariff bill now before he senate and the action of the pres ident in attacking those who are seek ing to give the legislators what the democrats decided they did not want to hear, becomes an effort to throw a wrong light upon the situation As the Boston Advertiser observes Ts it not natural that the public should wonder that the democratic ma shies so violently at the bare idea of a legislative inquiry into the facts? President Wilson's energetic prot against the presence of the obby in Washington was taken by the public to imply that the lobby was made up of politicians who wanted something which the senate shofld not grant. The republicans know that the business men who have come to protest against threatened injury to | the industries which they represent, | have nothing to hide from the publi that they are only too glad to have the utmost publicity possible for the facts which they can present, and which show the unwisdom of the proposed tariff law. _But the democrats are not anxious that the public should have all the facts.s Why?" It is a fact that a number of the Gemocrats are in sympathy with many f the facts which they also know about the tariff measure proposed, and bhoall such may have upon the democratic it 1 the fear of the effect w majority that causes the president no ttle anxiety Such instances of carelessness as veen displayed by the recent epl dex ide of mercury pols ning would hardly be belleved unless here had been the recent demonstra- tions.

An important task thus devolves upon those who will frame the restrictions for saving the birds. Those heedless bunters who have been the cause of suck a step being taken deserve no consi@eration in the regulations which are to govern the sportsmen. They have shown themselves incapable of respecting privileges, but it must not be taken out on all the hunters, who have shown a proper respect for re- strictions and kept within existing law It is no easy task which those hav- ing in charge the drafting of regula- tions to govern the reform must as- sume. They are bound to adopt rules for the entire country which should overcome the conditions which have existed. That they should be sufficient to protect and not too radical shows the problem which they face. Con- servation is demanded and it is the needs of the birds which must be a certained and secured, and vet give ome consideration to the hunter who s willing to obey proper laws. SCHOOLHOUSE CONSTRUCTION. Surprising little provision for fire- proofing school buildings is found in recent school legislation according to reports recelved by the United States Bureau of Education. Notwithstand- the Collinwood fire horror of five years ago, and notwithstanding the wonder- ful development in schooihouse archi- tecture, which has made possible buildings which are ar ic as well as safe, cities and towns in almost every ction of the United States continue to put up “gingerbread schoolhouses and fire traps” that are a constant menace to the lives of school children. The greatest attention is paid to con- struction in those states where fire has caused the destruction of prop- erty or taken the lives of school chil- dren. Ohio is the one state which has a really complete syvstem of control of safe schoolhouse design and destruc- tion. Many states have no regulations concerning requirements which will serve to protect against fire though the importance of such is recognized in various ways b; states in the way of k slation, but the deplorable fact is that cities which ave just had destructive school fires appear to be building in the same old way. It should be realized that too much protection cannot be thrown about the schoolhouse in guarding against fire and whether there is a complete state system of control ayer such construction, each community should realize the responsibility and recognize its duty WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING.

That is because disappointed, preju- diced and jealous people have neither | good eye sight nor good judgment. ! We are tremendously crippled by our | faults. We believe more in our own conceits than we do in the other per- | son’s efficiency. The wisdem of any | age is not found under any hat, or any set of hats. God has fixed things so that ability and genius cannet be cornered and no sect er people can menopolize them. The men we underestimate we are fearful of un- til we find our feverish ideas were of our own making and the fruit of our own misconceptions; and we are re- peatedly discovering our mistakes if we are observing. The man who holds his opinions of others in reserve finds compensation in not having made & fool of himself. How many people seem to be so wedded and welded to the truths of the dead past that they are' both deaf and blind to the live truths of the present. There is no greater check to spiritual, or material progress than & closed, or unreceptive mind. There is no reason why any man should be afrald to denounce a humbug. or to espouse a truth. What is truth We are told that truth misunderstood, or misrepresented, is an error; but we | must of ourselves interpret truth to | make it our our own. Ready made truths like ready made clothes are oft- | en a misfit. History shows what have been standard truths to a past generation are falsities to the next | generation. Every one must seek the | truth for himeelf; and we should re- | member that all of truth is no more comprehensible than all of nature's| laws. Truth is old and ever new, and there is enough of it to command the | attention of men for all time. The mind's eye maketh vour day | and mine what it is. Our disgust and our prejudices and our conceits cloud | or brighten each day's sky for us. There is no real reason why the con- duct and opinions of others should | disturb us so.

After flowers, I suppose.

My own supply is already laid aside, and you shall have all that is left. There are | plenty of them .too. It seems as if they knew how they are wanted, and are showing their patriotism by doing their best this season. “Oh, Miss Ruth, vou don’t mean we can have them ail!
