It is unquestionably one of the great quiet forces which are constant- 1y at work for the betterment of con- ditfons and the rellef of the sick and unfortunate, about whom little or nothing is known by the general pub- Ho, It is an organization which is ealied upon to deal with many prodb- lems which are commeon to every city and in such work it deserves the hear- tiest support and commendation. However charitable work is under- taken there is no ecity which has an organization of this character more admirably equipped for handling ths many problems which are encountered. Tt represents the growth of years and the resuit of weil conceived ideas for the necessary relief work which is steadily demanded. It is thus a philanthropic organiza- tion which should elicit the intereat, support and enthusiasm of the entire community. It is through such co- operation that it can be mads to ac- complish the greatest amount of good and serve in the.best manner the pur- pose for which it was intended. Tt is manifestiy a work which should not be left for a few. In union there is strength and In a united backing of the United Workers in its many avenues of help there is bound to be a still greater benefit to Norwich from this organization. Its opportunities are consiant and it canmot but be reatized that the great amount of good it can do is bound to be reflected in a better Norwich. BETTER DISTRIBUTION. ‘When it is related that postoffice and agricultural department experts ave collaborating to bring the pro- dacer and consumer of several of the important things that enter into the high cost of living Into direct business relations through the agency of the parcel post, it will be recognized as a move in the right direction. This it is proposed to accomplish by perfect- ing containers which will permit the satisfactory transportation of butter, eggs and vegetables so that the house- holder is put in direct touch with the producer. While this effort is confined to de- veloping the parcel post and reveal- ing the opportunities it presents from both ends, the question of a better dis- tribution of produce in large quanti- ties for the bemefit of the raiser as well as the buyer canmot be over- Jooked. The lesson of one is bound to have its effect upon the other, if the idea can bs properly worked out. If it will open up the way for the over- coming of waste it will render a ser- vies which will he of lasting vaiue. What is greatly needed is a methed of cooperation which will distribute the large crops in every line se that those Who are in need of such every day necessities, or perhaps luxuries, may get the benefit thereof, instead of permitting such products te go to waste and thereby have an impertant effect upon the maintemance of high prices. Fven if this departmental ac- tivity only means the beginning of some progress im that directiom, it should be encouraged, MARKING POISONS. Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing, bat there are times when it leads be- yond the bounds of wisdom, and loses its vaelue through overdeing., Regard- less of the merits of the anti-saloon cause, it is not surprising that there is much criticism ever the effort in Wew York state by the Anti-Saleon league to have the common skull and crossbones poisen labels placed upon every bottle of beverage which con- tains alcohol, The zeal with which the league members are pushing their cause 1s Inspiring, but the attempt to obtain such legislation lesks like over- doing it, As the New York Commercial says: “Potson labeis are designed to prevent accidents. Their usefulness would dis- appear as Seop as they were put on what s lurge past of the people regard as ordinary weverages, Not one drink- er In the whole state weould refrain at sight of such a label, It would be tmeated as 8 joke and weuld acttally inerease the eonsumption of liquor un- til the noveity wore off, That is hu- man natawe Seme men are as big | fasls about dwinking whiskey as others number would be poisoned acci- dentally by drinking something else than whiskey. It seems inconceivable that any legislative body can commit the folly of passing such a law.” Regardless of the labels the bev- erages will be drunk and it is open to serious doubt whether any such weak- ening of the purpose of such labels on | dangerous peisons ought to be per- mitted. Polson labels should Dbe strengthened rather than weakened. THE CANAL TOLLS QUESTION. ‘When it is made known that Presi. dent Wilson has expressed himself upon the question of Panama canal folls it is readily understood that it is a matter which needs early adjust- ment. The fact that he has taken a position against the existing legis- lation which glives the use of the canal to American coastwise traffic free in- dicates his determination to bring this |’ matter to a head. The Adamson bill now before congress undoubtedly offers & middleground which can be taken without harm until an interpretation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is ob- tained or the wisdom seen in with- drawing from the previous action. It is not to be supposed that the couniry is determined to exceed its treaty rights, and while the canal was con- structed by this country at its gpwn expense, it was not for the sole bene- fit of the American shipping which will use it. It was conmstructed for the benefit of the world and for what- ever benefit all branches of business in this couniry could obtain there- from. ‘American shipping needs all the en- couragement which it can get, but it should be equally distributed. Amer- fcan coasting trade is aiready protect- ed against invasion by foreign ves- sels and is thus assured of that bus- iness. Exempting the tolls gives them additional protection which is not need- ed and which ought not to be required for the stimuiation of commerce which is already well guarded. There is an important question involved for the railroad and shipping interests of this country as well as the international opposition. It is in need of a solution upon the best and fairest basis pos- sible, 2 CONTROL OF ELECTRICS. It is an interesting question as to What extension of power may be granted to the Interstate commaearce commission In view of the broadening out of the trolley systems and the re- quirement that, in New England at least, they must be separated from the railroad system. The big trolley sys- tems have grown since the commis- slon was created and it is therefore without direct power, as to their oper- ation and regulation. It is an im- portant question as to what will be done concerning the regulation of these lines which are steadily growing and reaching not only into the country, but becoming interstate propositions. | Bills affecting the situation are being urged in congress and arguments are being made for federal and state su- pervision of such lines. How extensive some of these sys- tems are is indicated by the state- ment from one of the witnesses who declared that there are 325 electric railway companies operating 17,000 miles of track which are engaged in an interstate business, but only a small percentage of their -business is of an interstate character. It is undoubtedly true that there are many railway lines which would be affected by the extension of the power to the Interstate commerce commis- sion for their control. It is therefore important that it should be determined whether there would be a benefit therefrom over and above ‘the comtrol which would be exerted by the various states which issued the charters. EDITORIAL NOTES. There are times when it looks as if January was going to be pretty near all thaw. It is impossible to report progress in aviation without an accompanying list of deaths. The president jogs congress prop- erly whon he urges the ratification of the arbitration treaties.

Hinkly had no millinery store. The nearest one was over at Brownsville, twelve miles away. 'But the long-felt want had been filled at last, and there was a rush to the new millinery :tora to pat Miss Basset on the back. ““'m a-asking just $200 more for my house and lot than I was yester- day!” exclaimed Deacon Snyder, as he stood at the door and peered in; and half an hour later real estate was on the boom from the red schoolbouse to the white bridge. Miss Basset had to have an assistant and she had engaged Minnie Long, the belle of the village. She was not only the belle, but she had a natural knack of hat-trimming. She could take a bow, a rooster feather and a ‘buckle of some sort, and out of an old hat create such a dream of a head- piece that the minister would stop in his sermon to gaze at it and wonder if it wasn't his duty to warn her against Satan’s wiles. He could prove that jaunty hats had led more women into the downward path than any oth- er one influence. Miss Minnie had been engaged to Roscoe Dayton for three months be- fore the great millinery event. He was a young man and had just started out as a builder. They were to be married at the end of three more months. Hinkly was only a quiet village and yet it was seldom, without its stranger most of them being agents for omne thing or another. A good-looking man, who claimed to represent a lamp house in the city, but who was Jjust then taking a brief vacation, was one of those at the grand opening of the mil- linery emporium. He was there to emile over the “enterprise” of the thing That was his first sight of Minnie Long, and he made a vow with- in a minute. S Roscoe Dayton was not a “plug” of a young man. He was ambiticus and a hustler, but he wasn't up to date with a young man from the city. No one, not even Minnie, expated him to be. He didn't have the clothes, the cane. the two watch chains, the smile, the bow nor the glib tongue. FHe had had no rival thus far, and there had been no_jealously on either side. Mr. Claude Barrle, as the lamp- agent agent gave his name, tarried in the millinery stors a long ten minutes, and when he had departed a woman volced the opinion of a dozen others when she wishpered: “If that young fellow stays in town a week there's going to be trouble for somebody 7 There was the beginning of trouble within an hour. A busy-body met Roscoe Dayton on the street and called out_to him: ° “Youwd better have your eyes peeled, young man!” “I'm always looking,” was the laugh- ing_reply. “You know that lamp-house agent from the city?” “Saw him on the street yesterday.” “He's a charmer, ain't he?” “Maybe.” . A “He was charming Minnie Long down at the millinery store. Say, they are sure stuck on each other!" “Nonsense!”™ Minnie, too, would have laughed at the idea, but a week later Roscoe felt it his duty to say to her: “I hear that young Barrie is a caller at your house.” “Why, yes, he has called,” was the Teply. “Haven’t you become acquainted very rapidly?” “So _you are jealous, eh?” “I don’t like him. He is a stranger to us all. He may be what he claims to be, but no one knows. Is it a flir- tation, or what?” “Can’t I even look at another man across the street because 1 am engaged to you?” “You can't have a flirtation with a stranger without the whole village talking about it.” “The whole village had better talk about some one else. Mr. Barrie has not only told me all about himself, but given me the highest TNferences. “But why has he?” “Because he has. to say about it.” A day or two later the young man disappeared and did not return for five days. The lover was told that Minnie received a letter—supposedly from him—every day, and also that she had mailed a reply. It was after the young man had returned and paid an evening call that Mr. Dayton sought an_interview. “It is gossiped that you intend to break the engagement with me. Is it true or only gossip?" “T have made up my mind to one thing sure,” was the reply of the girl. “I was born_and reared here. I have never been 15 miles from the village. I have never seen the real world. 1 have been a clodhopper all my days.’ “And you have made up your mind to—7 “To go to the city and see thin and be somebody.” ol “It's this lamp-house fellow that has That's all I have WATCH YOUR STEP!

He could have gone to the girl's father and mother and had his say, but he didn’t approach them. He could have gone to Miss Basset and begged her to ad- vise the girl, but he did mot go near her. Minnie had expected a row over the | parting. There had always been a row | in every love story she had ever read, and In her pique and disappointment at the quiet ending, she said to her- self: “Roscoe always was a poke, and this proves it!” The gossips had predicted a falling out, and were waiting for the news, but there was no news. Roscoe was planning and Minnie was keeping very | quiet. Instead of the jilted lover hang~ }ing himself to a sour apple tree, he dropped into the inn and had a look at and a talk with young Barrie. He was a poke of a man, Roscos was, but notwithstanding that: drawback ~he managed to size up his rivel as closely as if he had been a lawyer from the city..

Minnie could not get a trunk out of the house, but would take what cloth- ing she could in a suit case. Young Barrie would have to settle his bill at the inn bef/e he left, and there was only the one livery stable in the village | to get a rig at. Therefore, taking it all | around, it was not a difficult case to! handle, though the jilted lover had a constable beside him in the buggy when he finally took up the trail of the elopers. They were permitted to get two miles away from the village when they were overtaken. The first act of young Barrie was to away. The first act of young Barie was to jump from the vehicle and take to his heels. He was overtaken and brought back, and he then discovered that a warrant and a pair of handcuffs awaited him. The girl recovered from her faint to hear him laugh and say: “Oh, I'm caught right enough! She was fool enough to elope with me, but I suppose they will call it abduction.” “And it probably isn't the first case,” said the constable. “Not by five or six! There are more ng the girls than in idiot “You were going to get her a place in the city as a stenographer at $15 per week?’ “She didn't have any more sense than to believe so!

You must say no word of this to any e. You have been foolish, but not to late.” e Lo It was long weeks after this when she saw Roscoe again. Then it was 'esponse to a note i i in res in which she “Can a poke of a man find it i he§rt to forgive a fool of a Bh‘l!'r'l o po‘kof tcourae he can—that's what a e of & man is for!"” s el was the prompt And the gossips of Hinkly nev heard a word of th. entiost. Bk o e Incident!—St. Democrat. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR e Casting Out Devils, Mr. Editor: It must be appar vou that Seeker After Truth is onty a seeker by courtesy. His argument shows that he has found the truth and is bound to stick to it. However, in the multipiicity of quotations and corroborations let us not forget that he started out with the assertion: These signs shall follow them that belleve;” enumerating the signs, one of which was casting out devils. Others taking up serpents, drinking poison without hurt, laying hands on the sick for their recovery. Reader merely call- ed attention to the fact that this pas- sage, assumed to be Mark's statement, was not his, and hence. admittedly doubtful itseif, was not adequate to substantiate ' Seeker's contention. Reader, of course, might take up the other corroborative passages, adduced in the replyi but any one of them would furnish matter for a sermon too long for your columns. We must not be diverted from the core of the ar- gument, which requires the signs which must follow them that believe. The unchangeableness of God, does not enter into our calculation at all; mnor | the elements that distinguish a mir- acle from a work of nature. Reader does not know what these consist in, | neither does he know the man who | does know this. . The work of navi- gating the air is not analagous to a miracie. Navigating the air by bodles | heavier than air has been accomplish- | ed ever since a bird flew. The state- ment quoted, that “All the people (in capitals) cried out in approbation when Jesus at ons time cast out a devil,” is all right, but there were very important exceptions—enough who looked at the act In another way, sufficient to vitiate the effect of the miracle, and to prove our contention that miracles are not convincing signs The whole nation among whom Jesus wrought all his mighty works, are standing proof of the inadequacy of wonder working. Seeker was all right when he asked of the church to show works of char- ity, equity and_ benevolence for Chris- tianity seven days in the week long. A hundred cents on the dollar, thir- ty-six inches to the yard and sixteen ounces avoirdupofs, to the pound, is what the community is looking for from the church and when they get these they will excuse it—as they can very ‘well do—from handling scor- plons or healing the sick or other works of supererogation.

Autos go by at full speed and they don't blow their horns, either. 1 expect every day someone will be killed. I hope these two crossings will be looked into and that proper signs will be put up. MRS. BUGENE J. CARROLL. Norwich, Conn., Jan, 28, 1914, Request to Norwich Women. Mr, Editor: With the prospect of an active campaign against equal franchise, suffragists are moved to make a request of the women of Nor- wich. To those who have become fixed and immovable antis, by reason of an underlying sense of the inferior- ity of our sex, a distrust of women generally, or a satisfaction with con- ditions as they now are, it is useless to appeal. However, to the woman who &s yet has taken no part for or against suffrage, we would say, “When an opportunity is given you to sign a paper or a petition against woman suffrage, do not ask yourself if you wish the vote. Say, rather, Am I willing to do all in my power to keep from some other woman the deep de- sire of her heart? Do I know enough about this subject to go on record as opposing such women as Jane Ad- dams, Maude Nathan, Florence Kel- ley and Julia Lathrop?
