Except that such a thing has been accomplished it would be con- sidered almost impossible today for the most sanguine to hope that such a thing could be accomplished. Here is one individual who has thrust great- neas upon himself and despite the methods which he has adopted has been able to successfully defy one of the world’s greatest nations even to encouraging war, and all while a red hot revolution was raging against his own government and dictatorship. Wenderful control is to be gained through insistence upon ignorance, and one of the great secrets of Huerta's power as dictator of the Mexican re- public is revealed through the strict cemsorship and suppression of the news of a detrimental character, which he requires. When it is realized that his influence over the press and the news of the day is such that in Mexico Ofty the true facts surrounding the battle and fall of Torreon are not known to- day, or have been so distorted as to proclaim a federal victory, the power which he holds for controlling the peo- ple is indicated. Ignorance has been the great cause of Mexico's back- wardness and the power of it has not been overlooked by the crafty Huerta. 1t is reasonable to believe that the distrust of this country by Mexico is due to a lack of knowledge of the real attitude of this country aided by false representations, and that there would be a marked change if the Mexican people knaw the facts. REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION As has been previously said sight must not be lost of the fact that the trading conditions in Norwich during the week just past when merchants gave a demonstration of the advan- tages of local stores were not for that veriod alone, but represent the year round benefits which are to be gained through steady patronage. While this is a fact which should not be overlooked by the consumer it is likewise incumbent upon the bus- iness men to see that they do their part in keeping that very point be- fore the buying public. The value of such is indicated by the Hartford Times when it says: “Opinions have differed greatly comcerning the real worth of ‘Merchants’ Weeks,” carnivals, pageants, etc, as a means of quick- ening trade, and enlarging the num- ber of permanent customers and a city’s popularity. Doubt has prob- ably resulted from the fact that the zreat majority of citles that give such | schemes a trial do not repeat them, neither do thev follow them up with methods calculated to clinch whatever hold they may have secured. To ex- pect ome such experiment to be fol- lowed by lasting benefits is entirely | unreasonable. The business progres- siveness that is really satisfactory is not spasmodic.” Tncreased business Is to be devel- oped only through constant attention, but the good results which were gain- ed through the effort just ended should mnot be allowed to go to waste through settling back into old ruts and neglect, LAW AND ORDER. T cannot help being cause for na- tlonal regret that the appeal of the president for an amicable settlement of the strike situation in Colorado has met with failure, but satisfaction must be felt that federal troops are to be sent there to maintain law and order. Since it became evident that peaceful conditions could not be expacted in the mining regions of that state while the strtke is in progress, stubborn deter- mination existing on both sides, it has been evident that the state militia is not the proper method of dealing with the trouble. Tver since they were called out there has been Increased friction and & greater resistance to the requirements of the law. There has likewise been a backing and filllng as to the service they were expected to render which has not improved the sitnation, but lent encouragement to the d&isturbers. I the fight fer the principies for which each side is contending must be comtinued it is necessary that law and order be maintained. Riets, bloodshed and untawfyl precadune are not to he ! tolerated by elther side and the quick- ‘er that can be firmly impressed upon all comcerned the better. If the im- portant. requirement is impartiality in the upholding of law and insistence upon order the federal troops should have the usual good effect. It is an | end of the trouble, not a continuance of it which is desired, and Colorado has already displayed its inability to properly handle it. HUNGER STRIKING. Reports differ as to what it was that caused Miss Rose Edelson, the I W. W. agitator, to abandon her well started hunger strike while a prisoner waiting bail to keep the peace, dut the impression\is gained that the sac- rifice required, for the publicity and martyrdom sougght did not present an encouraging ouklook. Tempting eat- ables or sweets may have led the way to breaking the fast, but it is open to Delief that lack of interest in her sacrifice by the officials of the jail had as much to do with it as anything. When it was realized that she was causing no consternation by her-adop- tion of the schemye which was hit upon by the English militants for embar- rassing the administration of justice, and it was also made plain that at- tempted suicide ;was a crime calling for an incmeased, peralty, the bottom dropped out,of the well laid plan and meals were resumed. Just why such a personally conduct- ed fast should concern anyone except the person directly interested is dif- ficult to wnderstand. If the prisoner | is determimed pot to eat through no fault of the officials or the food the responsibility is all her own. There is no question but what a certain amount of fasting i good for those who can stand it, but)in this case as in many others the stomach is often the best judge of just jwow far such an under- taking can be carried. Miss Edelson may be all bound up in her indus- trialism, but puiting the hunger strike nto operation evidently brought her to her senses. BENEFITS FROM GOOD ROADS. Every state i coming to the real- ization of the bekter roads proposition as an excellent investment in many ways, particuladly if the proper at- tention is given to the work so as to give it a degresof permanency which will make the expenditure worth while. Connecficut wouldn't know what to do if it was forced to go back | to the road conditions which existed say ten or fifteen vears ago. Good roads benefit the, users of the roads whether they are'the residents of the state or those who come into the state to spend their money. country to which many thousand peo- ple come during the course of the year for vacations and recreation and to a great number of such tourists good roadsarean important attraction. This is realized inithis state, in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, where many miles | of good roads already exist as the re- sult of state money, but the import- ance of it is aiso being felt in Ver- | mont, New Hampshire and Maine. In| the Green Mountain state for the first | time the sum of $325,000 of state money is to be spent this year in ad- dition to the outlays by the towns for better roads. New Hampshire is crisscrossing the state:with attractive roads to its mountains and lakes, while Maine is to undertake 125 miles of new state roads divided between con- crete, bituminous and macadam. Thus are the northern New England states paving the way for more visitors and | better advantages for their own peo- ple. It will, however, be ghe road which is built to wear and for the fu- ture as well as the present which will bring the best results for the users and those who must pay for them. EDITORIAL NOTES As a contributor to the perversity of seasons April is certainly doing her share. If diplomacy can settle the Mexi- can trouble everyone will be willing to salute it. - Even the umpire can claim that he| hasn't had a chance to warm up for real good action. The return of cold weather brings the cheering news that the peach crop is likely to survive after all. This is the season of the year when the hen causes many a warm argu- ment over boundaries and fences.

The continued fighting of the rebeis against the forces of Huerta in north- ern Mexico is one of the streng Indi- cations of where that portion of the Mexican pepulation stands cenecerning | this country's action, and strengthens the faith in Villa's declaration, It is only natural that it sheuld beth- | er Huerta sinee he hasn’t as many warships to send to this eeuntry in| honor of the marriage of Miss Wil- son, next week, as this country as- Bembled in Mexican waters for the marriage of his son last week. It is & real embarrassing predicament which the salute would have aveided. New England is a section of the | { ers to give th | gether | amenities, thus Ever since the day wh as a fresh- man, Davis Fitzgerald had arrived on the college campus with Robert Fitz- gerald, his younger brother and class- | mate, and an altogether engaging bull terrier following in his wake, he had been known at Fitzie One. His brother who had amazingly developed as far as studies and athletics went, was Fitzie Two, and the dog was Fitzie Three. Fitzie One liked the girls, and be- cause if his liberal and sympathetic taste in the matter, he was kept in a constant state of indecision. At first he had been moved to fresh- man raptures over the 30-year-old daughter of his Greek professor. Tnen it was the library stenographer, and then but no one save Fitzie One him- self could recount the full number of his charmers. But every one knew about Georgie Marston. Fitzie One had come back in college as a senjor with a free and ready heart, and he had speedlly and with even more enthusiasm than usual centered his thoughts upon the daugh- ter of the new vicar of the college chapel, the bewitching Miss Marston. ““Do you know, Miss Marston,” he told her one Sunday afternoon as they were walking through a woodland pathway, with the faithful “Fitzie Three, “do you know, Georgie, it isn't just because you're pretty. It's some- thing more deep, more intangible than that.” Georgie, because of her inexperience, blushed and felt uncomfortable. She tried to think of some suitable way to change the subject, when her _eye caught sight of the dutiful Fitzie Three plodding on ahead. ‘“Isn’t he a perfect dear of a dog? I am just crazy about bull dogs.” “Oh, are you?” exclaimed Fitzie One, whose enthusiasm at this point was mounting to alarming heights. You can have him if you like.” “Oh, Mr. Witzgerald,” she exclaimed in a way that made Fitzie One feel a thrill of age and manliness. And then, she continued: “I don't believe father would let me keep a dog, but perhaps 1 could borrow him sometime: ¥ The idea met with Fitzie One's entire approva “Oh, I'm so glad to have him no she went on. “He'll make such a ni mascot for our Browning society.” Then as Fitzie One looked interested, explained: Tt's a club that some of us girls have just made up. We suggested all sorts of things—cards and embroldery and things like that—and finally we agreed on Browning. We read to- gether once a week, and as the meet- ings are to be at my house they said 1 could decide about the mascot. If don’t mind, I'll make it your dog.” Your dog,” Fitzie One generously ted. z my dog,” said Georgie, “and of course, 1 won't tell anyone where I got him. Oh, it will be perfectly love- ly,” she cried, as she knelt before her newly acquired pet and looked into his trusting dog eves. s So it was that the Browning society acquired for its official mascot Georgie Marston's new dog. But as the winter came on and the excitement of college festivities de- tracted from the milder amusement of reading poetry Fitzie Three's visits became less frequent. Finally the.for- gotten mascot, who shared his mas- ter's fondness for girls, quite gave up hope of ever being stroked by a fairer hand or coaxed and teased by a gentler voice than his master’s. In this state of resignation he found CTHER VIEW POINTS The mediators, who are striving for a peaceful settlement of the difficul- ties between this country and Mexico, should impress upon the dictator that the first step demanded is the release of the women and children held cap- tive in Mexico C Imprisoning the helpless is the act of a brigand, not a ruler, and a few such things will put Huerta outside the pale—Ansonia Sentinel. Members of congress have been standing so straight on the matter of campaign contributions that they have nearly doubled over backward. Now a committee of congress has de- clared that it is all right for the mem- bers to contribute to their own con- gressional committees, and therefore the treasurers of those organizations want it known that they have lots of blanks left in their receipt books.— Waterbury Democrat.

Cynthia, dear, I would do anything in the world for you. And then Fitzie Three, Who was carried away at the idea of being ad- mired, jumped up and gave his new mistress a dog kiss on the end of her nose. That was how Fitzie Three happen- ed once more to be in the possession of a girl. Only this time he never went to the dormitory at all, but had to stay at Cynthia’s all the time, and, ex- cepting when his former master came to see her, he was forced to stay in the kennels with several other dogs. On the whole, Fitzie Three would have | much preferred being back in the dor- mitory In the meaniime, with the coming of early spring, college festivities abated, and the members of the Browning so- ciety squght to reunite. “Be sure to have our mascot” said the president of the society to Georgle.
