The time is @pproaching when some thought must be directed towards the organization of a cleanup week or campaign if one is to be held this spring and a suficient amount of time allowad for perfecting the details and organization, Phere were good results from the imsuguration of the pian year, but it is net to be supposed ons trial will develep all the inte possible or bring out the best in such an undertaking., The greatest value in such an effort for the cleaning up and thereby an impertant step towards the beautification of a city, lies in keeping steadfastly at it each vear. Thus is it pessibie to mot only sustain but in- crease the interest and activity aad keep civic pride at a preper peint for the hest resuite, The clean-up campaign is ene which has meds a strong appeal througheut the cowniry. In New Engiand alone it s declared that fully twe hundred cities and towns are organizing for the purpose of devoting a week during the next month or so to making the places cleaner, healthier and more aitractive doth for those who live there and for visttors and traders. Such a manifes- tatton of imterest In home and city has an endless number of commendable features. There are a great number who will do it anyway, even to add- ing the paint-up to the clean-up idea, but it s through an organized effort that the best results can be obtained. Norwich has seen benedts from its last undertaking. but it still has op- portunity for much more improvement, and it is none too early to begin to think about it MUST PREVENT HUMILIATION. New York must have for a long time felt itseif in a peculiar position because of the meaner in which its laws and justice have been circumvented in the Thaw case but it must also have been awakened fo u determina- tlon that both justice shall arried out in accordance with decisions which have been given that the legislation necessary to vent such a situation in the futur shall be enacied. This case has been the cause of large expense 1o the and the end not yet, but it expenditure which the state must ognize as nec ry for the m ance of respect for such laws as has. Many will r when their pock- etbooks are affected and for son an effort is heing made influence in New York agains ther pursuit of Thaw through a peti- | tion asking the assembly to refuse to permit further expense for Jerome and | other counsel Such a petition this rea- » bring | the fur- is one which de. serves no consideration. The return | of Thaw to New York state is a duty | which rests upom the state and re- gardless of the expense as long as le- gitimate, no steps should be left un- taken. Thaw and his money have play- ed with the Empire state for many years and the experiences have point- ed to the meed of better laws for the administration of justice and the: { > are likely to be obtained but it should never be attributed to a penurious state assembly that money could be made to warp justice and secure free- dom for a notorious criminal CHANCE TO COMPARE. While concessions have been made by the government in reaching the agreement with the New Haven road for a breaking up of the system they are far less than those which ha been agreed to by the chairman of the | system. No concession has been made by the department of justice which was not entirely justified and for the best interests of the roads which are concerned. An insistence upon their demands without such concessions would have been placing an uncalled for penalty upon the innocent The granting of more tlme for the dissolution and sale of subsidiaries, with the chance of extension by court wermission, still leaves New Englaud faciog the resuits of the forced break- ing up of its transportation systemn The outcome is unceriain, but as the New York Tiaies says: “That ratiways ling separately can serve the pub- better thau whea combined is con- irary to all experience. The rediction of railway rates in the era of con solidation has been due to the com- hinations which have been formed.

First Thing in the Case is glad that poor Bach knows the printer always picks LIBERTY. Not “Pi"”, Mr. Printer, but P-I-E. It’s the real old toothsome pie for you, too, when you get hold of LIBERTY tobacco. You're never mussed up when you've got LIBERTY. It’sa rich, sweet, healthy smoke or chew; and the printer is glad of a chance to use printer’s ink to tell the rest of the world how good it is. LIBERTY Long Cut Tobacco is a prime favorite with printers and all live, hustling he-boys who know .and like a smoke or a chew of real man’s tobacco. And LIBERTY is always the same—al- ways satisfying. We don't let LIBERTY go out of the factory until it has been aged from three to five years, so that all the rich, mellow, nat- ural sweetness of its Kentucky leaf is atits best. When you're tobacco hungry, you want clean, honest juicy tobacco with some back- bone to it. You never see a LIBERTY user switch to some other brand. He knows nothing can compare with LIBERTY for downright tobacco satisfaction. A week’s trial of LIBERTY will prove this to you—will ‘make you a permanent user of LIBERTY.
