By the action of the republican cau- cus there has been placed before the citizens of this city & list of candidates for city offices which deserves the careful consideration of every voter. It contains men who are well and fa- Yorably known and who are qualified to assume the duties and responsibil- ities which will devolve upon those ‘who are elected in June. From first to last it presents men of experience, successful business administration, #00d judgment and integrity who can be elected if given the proper and de- werved support of party and ’uk»n 6t good government. : Such a result is to be obtfinea through unity and it is the time for glving careful thought to the wisdom of using the ballot for the accomplish- ment of a high service to self and rommunity, instead of wasting the time and effort, maintaining disruption and giving an indirect benefit to the opposition. The success of a ticket, however, is not to be obtained with- out a recognition upon the part of the voters of the importance of getting to the polls and participating In the privileges there accorded. Every mu- nicipal election is important. Bvery year has it known and unknown prob- lems which must be met, and every year the offices of the city govern- ment should be filled by the best men to be had and it is not too early to realize that this should be through the getting out of the vote. It is the vote of everyone able to get to the polls which is wanted and with that there should be no question as to a republican victory. average. FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD. Even though it might have been an- ticlpatel when the selection was made nevertheless the declination of Rich- ard Olney to accept the appointment as the governor of the new federal and foundation for = successful and peacefyul government which is so much peeded. It will be a big step for Mex- ico to take alone. s st AR, THAE 7O PREVENT REPETITIONS. ‘While it may be thought by some that' the imposition of .a good sized. Stanhope criticism by the New that the lax conditions in the city and institution contributed materially to the affair. The punishment inflicted with the attendant notoriety and im- paired reputation cannot fail to have a beneficial effect upon his future con- duct. His escapade from first to last is bound to be looked upon as an ex- ample to be avoided. The Nixon case, however, presents to New Haven and Yale authorities, a task which it cannot longer neglect. It has brought to light conditions con- cerning the sale of liquor to minors, which it was known existed, though it might have been hard to get the evidence, but which were not prevent- ed. Theére had been other cases of less serious ¢haracter which had estab- lished the fact and Nixon was only a victim of the illegal practice. Is it any wonder that Mr. Nixon felt her son had been unfairly treated? Thus the question is not so much as to whether Nixon received suffi- dient punishment, but what is. New Haven and Yale going to do to pre- vent the repetition of just such af- fairs Conditions which lead up to them have been overiooked in the past, sufficient at least to permit this sad and serious revelation, regardless of what previous knowledge existed as to the violation of laws and lax disci- pline. It should mean the end of such conditions. It is a moral duty which cannot be dodged. MEDIATION, . ~ With the fixing of the date for the meeting of mediators when repre- sentatives from this country and from Huerta will be heard, mediation is Ddeing referred to aas if it was an ever day affair end without a reali- zarion of the many slips which are possitle or the techmical limitations under which it Is conducted. Medi- ation is one of the ways for adjumt- ing the cifferences between nations without war and as defined by the: standard authorities on international law it consists in substance of the referenca of the cause of difference to one or more disinterested powers who suggest a remedy, or more fre- quently propose an adjustment based upon such mutual concessions as will remove the cause of difference or ir- ritation. It may be asked by the in- terested nations or outside powers may tender their good offices with a view to the maintenance of peace. When friendly powers tender their good offices the interested ones may accept them or not as they see fit, and may later accept or reject the suggestions of the mediators, being under no enforceable obligation to abide by them. The mediators are a tribunal act- ing inanadvisory capacity and are not a court of arbitration whose findings and awards must be adopted. The weight and effectiveness of any ad- justment proposal formulated must therefore depend upon the spirit of fairness which is contained thergin and to a great degree the success of mediation in averting war rests with the mediators and their ability to map out a course of action or a compro- mise which neither party can afford to disregard. It is a service the value of which should be exhausted before war is actually entered upon. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is all right to prepare for war on the fly without any fear of a tender of good offices. It only requires a few days of warm May sunshine to get the summer cot- reserve board cannot help causing re- | tage fever going full tilt. gret in view of the high class service ‘which it is known he could have ren- dered in that important position. That he was chosen by the president even after his unwillingness to accept the earlier appointment to the court of St James indicates the value which is placed upon his services. In the selection of the federal bhoard ‘which is to have charge of and direct the new regional banking system the president has not overlooked the re- sponsibllity which rested upon him. It is through this board that the best or the worst results can be obtained and the important duty of starting it right by naming the right men was imposed upon him. Among the better known of the men who have been chosen there is ground for the be- lief that he has made a good begin- nlng and that time will prove that the now lesser lights possess the same high qualifications as the rest. The different sections of the country are well represented and it is probable that Mr. Olney's place will be filled from Nqw England even though the appointes for that place may not re- ceive the appointment of governor of the board, a position for which the Massachusetts man was particularly well fitted, ——— i FOR MEXICO"S BETTERMENT. Throughout the various stages of the Mexican trouble the question ha arisen as to what can be expected in ‘a change of administration. “After Huerta, what?” has been asked time and again and under the existing con- ditions 1t is but natural that it should be uppermost in the public mind at the present time. The past adminis- trations, and Huerta, have stood for different things in the government of Mexico which have not caused it to advance or establish permanent peace 4and such must come before much bet- terment can resuit. In this relation it is an interesting programme which the Boston Tran- scrips deciares Mexican® must adopt ‘before improvement will result. The five steps which must be taken are: 1. Economfe. The enactment of a land law modeled on the English pur- thase act for Ireland or our friar land legislation in the Philippines, giving the small land owner & chance. 2. Political. Such changes in the féderal constitution as will make that a workable law, adapted to present conditions, v _ 3. Military, anization of a as the Diaz The The man on the corner says: Some people who are tired of living are not satisfied until they make other people tired. “All at sea over Huerta” doesn't apply to the United States navy, al- though that is where one of the di- visions is. From the result of the usual Sun- day automobile accident it looks like an insistence upon the better the day the better the job. Of course Colombia is willing to ac- cept that gift of $25,000,000 but it i8 our turn now to hold it over for another administration. Thomas A. Edison may provide five cent moving picture grand opera for the masses but the difficulty will come in keeping them interested. Even the casual observer might get the impression that some people think they have to pay for the privilege of Joining the clean-up movement. Possibly it will be convenient for Col. Bryan to visit Bulgaria about the time Queen Eleanora decides it will be safe to make a tour of this country. Because of constant evidence to the contrary few are the claims which are belng made of the sailing of unburn- able ships, however much that quality might be desired. The fact that the old blue law on Sunday closing has been able to keep away from the supreme court so many years shows that it was better buiit than muck of the present day legis- lation. ‘Those who enlisted on the strength of the excitement which the blockad- ing of Vera Cruz furnished must get full credit for their action, but there is nothing very promising in the fighting lne just now.

The day must come, how- ever, and, it did come.- It came three days after a little incident on the street. A bareheaded young man with a pencil behind his ear, and who seemed to be a clerk in a store, accosted Miss Gracie at a corner asked if she could give him a $10 bill for five two. It was her salary day and she was carrying home her $14. Why not oblige the clerk? The $10 was passed over for the twos, and it seemed to the girl that she was be- ginning to be of some importance as a capitalist. . The cobbler took fifty cents for re- pairing a pair of shoes. a lunch at a restaurant was thirty-five cents, a bit of cheap jewelry that happened to please was seventy-five cents. In each case one of the two-dollar bills was handed out. The other two went into her board money and EVERY DAY REFLECTONS Much To Learn. We do mot yet begin to realize democracy, which implies the organ- ization and co-operation of the whole people. We are still in the ghost clutch of the class idea. We can only organize as classes. 'We can only love our own class. We still hate the classes not our own. We cannot understand or- ganization for humanity, for the wel- fare of every man. ‘We are still heathen in our econom- ics, as we are in our strength. For we call race , pride, greed, for cunning and WoOIf robbery—we call these motives practical, While we sneer at love, mutuality, ultimate jus- tice and helpfulness as visionary and impractical. ‘We do not as vet perceive the full, normal function of government. We conceive its business to be merel punish crime; that it is to stand off and not interfere until society, o ness or the individual breaks down. As a matter of fact, the government of the future will not punish at all; it will prevent, heal, cure. Siowly we are learning that business is govern- ment; that the only government is the organization of the industrial activi- ties of the entire body of filexmli to make profits with equity to all, an to distribute profits, giving to every man his just due.

THE TRIAL OF CHARLES I King Charles 1. of England was tried before the high court of jus- tice at Westminster on Jan, 20, 1848, for tyranny, treason and murder. The ArTO] manner in which Charles at- tempt: to dominate over parliament was the the first step in his eventual downfall. Civil war broke -out; many engagements took place with a varied success, but on the King's de- feat at he retired to Oxford, and on the approach of Fairfax, the parifamentary general, he threw him- melf on the protection of the Scots, who solMd him to the parliament. Charles was finally arrested by a party of 500 horsemen, under the command of Cornet Joyce, who rush- ed into his presence with pistols and told him he must go along with them. Resistance, of course, was in vain and Charles stepping into his coach, was safely conducted to the army. Finally Charles was brought to trial. ‘The indictment read in part as Tol- low: ‘“Whereas it Is notorious that Charles Stuart, now king of England, hath had a wicked design totally to subvert the ancient and fundamental laws and liberties of this nation, and in their stead to introduce an arbi- ment and kingdom, we discharge him, the said Charles Stuart, with the crimes treason mentioned, —and \demand that he appear to 5 answer ‘these charges.” The trial was begun on Jan. 20 and sixty-five members sat in judgment, with John Bradshaw as lord On this day it was demanded that the prisoner be sent for, and he appeared in about a quarter of an hour. The , which was a long onme, was read to him. During its reading the king sat in his chair, looking some- times on the court, sometimes up to the galleries and then, rising up, turned about to behold Qo‘fl-.flh and spectators. Then he wo sit down with a majestid and unmoved countenance and sometimes g smiled, espectally at the words tyrant, traitor, murderer and public enemy to the Tefusal the ordersd to be taken away by the guarda. ‘The court convened again two days later and proceeded to consider the 's behavior and decided that when t Dbefore them ived t he must an- Should he rci o king asked to be heard, but they informed him that request that he might see his children before his death, which was granted him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bozrahville Prospering Again. Mr. Editor: Norwich cannot grow ‘without helping the villages around it, and the village of Bozrahville is step- ping once more into its old time pros- , perity. The old mill now owned by N. Gilman is running overtime, the old general country store is once more wel] stocked with such good as are found in a good country store, every tenement in the village is rented, and to good large families at that; the postoffice business has greatly in- creased, in fact the two malil clerks busy where one young_girl e work in the store. Boz- Tahville is a very pretty place and boasts of the largest rock maple tree, it measuring over 16 feet two feet from the ground. W. T. CURRY. Bozrahville, May §. Following the Circus.
