Bince the matter has been brought to attention through the inability to secure proper accommoda- tons for many families ,the real sit- uation in regard to the scarcity of rents in this city has been fully Te- vealed by the statements of the real estate men Who are probably in cioser touch with this situation than others. Tt is their unqualified opinion that there is not only a need for more and better dwellings in this city, but that the demand is such that were %ood rents to the number of twenty- five available now they would not sup- piy the requirements. A city which is growing must pro- vide for just such kind of expansion and from the class and character of the butlding it is quite evident that Norwich has not been giving attention to these demands in & manner to meet the situation. With all the many other important requirements to make a city attractive to Hve in and to do business in, there is nome which appeals to newcomers more than good homes. Proper consideration must be given to the families of those who would locate here, and nothing more should be need- ed to get a response in this direction than a proper setting forth of the facts. The mannmer in which new houses are seized and tenements rent- d long before they are ready for oc upancy indicates that the demand is well founded. It is useless to look T new business to come here if we ire not taking care of business opportunities at home. ir our MEXICAN L;NCERTA\;‘JTV. Just what course affairs may tak n Mexico following the new which has been manifested country in the lifting of the s € to be watched with keen It is a year since Provie:i dent Huerta took up the ta administering the affairs of that public. How his pos: and how he ed him: until he now ictator rather than the president of Mexico is a mat- ter of recent history. Fe has profited »m the disorganization of the olntion: forces and he has suffered ereatly from the refusal of this coun try to grant him recognition. It because of this that he has been crip vled financially but he has not failed to use every opportunity for the ad- vancement of his own personal power. How hard he is pressed to maintain his control is indicated by his seizure of supplies and fuel at Vera Cruz for the operation of the railroads. Tn maintaining control and holding onto the reins of government as long as he has, he has greatly surprised the close followers of the situation. How long he can continue to hold out in his present financial condition is as much a problem as ever in view of the staying powers which he has man- ifested. The effect the constitution- alists will have upon his rule aided by the opportunity to get all the arms and ammunition they can pay for is bound to tax his full strength. While his attitude towards the rebels has been a walting one the fact that some hard fighting is indicated points to a quick change or none at all. Yet wha will follow Huerta is as uncertain as ever. PUBLIC DINNERS. The public dinner a the b t both have their enthusiastic backers and their denounc Most everyone can see the good points and the bad ones, but through the inability or lack of sufficient desire to put a check npon them they continue with no indica- tion of abating, Aw the New York Post says it “has its one justification. It is & grest nour- isher of hope, of tolerance and of laughter; and we cannot hLave too much laughter in our high-pressure life of today. The hope that springs eternal in the human breasc is splen- dldly exempiified in the way men will £0 to pubile dinnefs expsciing to hewr a new joke or a new good story. They nover do, but still they keep on €oing. What they hear is the familiar jest, the vensrabie anecdote freshened up by transferring it frem Gladsiane to Flbert Hubbard, And here come tn tolevames and the inexhaustibie tonds of bagghter, The meadinessswith | which people in a banquet hall will laugh at the moss-covered buckets of wit out of the well of Joe Miller and the Farmers' Almanac is a refreshing thing. It is the same innecence of the heart which makes possible the child’s world of make-belleve. It is a qual- ity which we should regret te see the national character lose.” Witheut hope, enthusiasm, plenty of cooperative action and good nature it is possible to make little succeed. Such a combination can move mountains Where molehills would otherwise prove a Gibraltar, Py WANT BES'I: SOLUTION. ‘Whatever may resuit from the effort in behalf of friends of the admin tration in the senate to have the im- migration bill postponed, it doesn't re- quire much research to discover the fact that there are widespread oppor- tunities for the application of the lit- ers test in this country, There is undoubtedly need of legislation upon the question of immigration, but the imposition of the literacy test upon foreign who otherwise have ever promise of making worthy citizens taking a wrong view of the situation. There s a chance for the meeting of | the problem in other ways. There & the opportunity for bettering the cit ship of this country through the nation of the illiteracy which ts to the extent of about three mil- | ction proper certification of character from their native lands. It is the exclusion of the undesirable class which the Dill is almed at, and in such there cannot but be gener: it is the method by lity is to be determined which causes the large opposition. It is not only merican, but it is unjust. immigrants are not necessarily blame for cllities at home, but that does set aside the fact that they more desirable than many desirables who possibly write in more than one the best solution of the problem which is wanted. Burnett amount of to are THE BEEF SUPPLY. It has been some time since meat from foreign sources has been admit- ted to this country free. Just how great that atiraction, the removal of a cent a pound, has heen and the effect which it has upon the cost of meat and its products is fully understood by the users thereof. As far as a drop in price is concerned no would ever know that free trade in operation, for what Is being done in the shipment of +South American beef to this country could just as well have been undertaken before tariff re- duction became operative. It is the shippers and handlers of beef Who are getting whatever benéfit is being obtained and the relief which i afforded to the dome: appreciable. The question of beef supply is just as important in this country as it ever s been, and it will continue to be until there necessity of increasing the cattle rais ing industry. It was never seriou believed that the South supply is un- American or other cattle raising countries would solve the problem in this country. The necessity and opportunity for cattl raising in this cduntry remains as great as ever and it is a false notion which is being encouraged if farmers | or others are being led to believe that they have not a chance to participate in the revival of cattle raising for beef and share in the benefits. It is only by a greater production that the short- age can be met and only through the law of supply and demand will the drop in prices come. There is no reason to fear that foreign competition will de- prive the raisers of a market b the supply from such a source sufficient, ‘When a man scious in a ch: sits for hours uncon- is either a it habit for idios her fellow. | with the « one of approach o call ent Wilsc how much they fetime every state e tax tries to claim By the election of Dr. Concha as the new president Colombia h led 1o indicate any change ituda this country, The collision of two aeroplanes in- dicates that aviators haven't all learn- ed to buzz around the hangars like bees around a hive In the effort to estadlish a Wilson democracy in New York state, the president has evidently been studying the Tilden precedent. i As much as they may dislike the re- | straint those Mexican refugees are ertainly having the one best time in their lives barring a chance to fight.

[ i { our “I have just passed through a terri- ble experience,” announced the “woman who had come in last. * No, nobedy dled——my husband merely decided that he was getting too fat!” “Say no more,” cried the woman in the corner. “1 went through that ex- perience once. Htame has never been the same since then.” “I don’t exactly know what started Tom on that track”, went on the woman who had ' come in last “Before that fatal day we were jog- ging along calmly and comfortably, | approaching middle age with cheer- : fulness. Then I suppose some sweet young thing commented on Tom's fatness in his hearing for he sank into an awful state. He said he was going to diet and become young and sylph- iike again. “Now Tom is built on grand piano lines and never resembled remotely like a sylph, even when he was young, | but 1 haven't been married all these years for nothing. One of the nrst duties of a wife is to bolster up her husband in his belief that he is beauti- ful—or could be beautiful if he took the trouble to get thin. I told him that I wished he had not made that’ | decision on the very night that I had an expensive porterhouse steak and cream ple for dinner and that if he wanted health Dbiscuit he should have telephoned. “It seems, however, that the sort of dieting he intends to undertake had nothing to do with health biscuit. He said that all kinds of health foods were allacious because they wore on one's | nerves and made one dyspeptic. He‘ intended to eat everything, nearly, but not much of it. Always he intended | rising from the table hungry. “Then I knew that the worse had be- fallen me. When he added that also | he was going to stop smoking I looked around wildly for a sympathetic| shoulder upon which to lean while I wept. ‘I think Tom woke me up five times | that night to tell me piteously how starved he was and to ask if I thought there was danger of his injuring him- self by suddenly avoiding food. At| breakfast he was pale and heroic. He | of unbuttered ~tdast, demanded to| know why I did my hair in such anj unbecoming way and asked why in| thunder we kept the house so hot. “I telephoned his stenographer as soon as he had departed and warned her what was about to happen to her and why—and said that if he dis- charged her she was to pay no zutenvl | tion _whatever to him. “When Tom came home to dinner | the children went into hiding.

The only reason we want money is that we may buy a cage. As soon as a man gets rich he procures a house | with a yard and a high iron fence| around it. If a visitor enters the| yard and gets by the bulldog he still | has difficulty in breaking into the| | mansion. A butler meets him at the | door to see if his clothes look fit, and a secretary meets him in the hall to| make sure he is not after money. When a woman acquires money her | one ambition also is to find a cage. She yearns for exclusiveness. Her altitude In the social scale is meas- uered by the number of persons she | will not speak to. What we call the world amounts to getting prop- erly caged. We want to travel in a| private car—at least, in a private com- partment. We want our meals at the | hotel served in our own private din- ing room. We want to be shaved bv' own private valet and not in the | barber shop. Anything to be caged off from the people. Meanwhile there remain a few souls who really love freedom. They de- | line to “belong” to ail sorts of things, | They refuse to be bound by convention | and the opinions of other people. They | getting up in don’t want to get away from the com- aon people, but to know and love | them better. They love flowers and have no desire to pick them. They | love birds—in trees and hedgerows. They love wild beasts—in the woods. and have no desire to see them pacing ip and down in cages. They want to be free. And they want all other peo- ple to be free. Some of thes e tramps.

Then he told Johnnie that if he found the toy ine again in the hall he’d shut him up for a week. Next he raged because he said there was no hot water. When 1 pointed vut that he had turned on the cold water faucet he turned on the other and promptly velled that he was scalded to death and whom did I have in pilnd to replace him? “Mindful of his complaint about dinner, I provided a breakfast of dishes that he did not care for and then he asked if I sat up nights planning ways to be disagreeable. He looked hollow- eved and pathetic when he departed. He said of course I knew the safety deposit vault where he kept his papers and that he desired that Johnnie should go to Yale. He mentioned with feeling that he had read of & man starving to death in Alaska within a mile of food—and that he felt very queer himself. His head indicated that it might be apoplexy, but he pre- sumed it would turn out to be cancer of the stomach. dont yo for Aunt Jemima's Pancake Flour at your Grocers him sooner or later one step towards consolldation of republicans of all kinds will be taken.

There is no use of more “wonders” as wonders, they may never cease, but let me wonder gnce more, how long it will be before the arms now’ being sold in this country to Mexican rebels will be turned on the United States?
