Its greatest worth lies in the’ exercise of the right and it is therefor import- ant that full and wise use of the same should be made whenever possible. For the assurance of a businesslike and efficient administration .of city af- fairs the republicans have placed be- fore the citizens a list of candidates for city offices that cannot fail to command the respect and confidence of the taxpasyers and voters in general It is headed by one of Norwich's strong and substantial business men, while throughout are representative citizens who have the interest of the city at heart, first, last and all the time. They stand for an active, eco- nomical and effective conduct of the city government in all departments. With the city election less than a ‘week off there should be a determin- ation upon the part of every voter, ir- respective of party, to get to the polls next Monday and record his demand for the best city administration, the one which will accomplish the great- est good for the greatest number and wherein the same attention and thought will be given to the enact- ment of city affairs as to private en- terprises and interests. This lies within the power of the stay-at- homes for the uncast vote contributes nothing to the attainment and main- tenance of good government, but rath- er does it silence for the future those very voters who neglect their duty to self and city by remaining at home. There is nothing more important than a city election. Every day affairs are there involved and no mistake should be made in the selection of those who are to handle the municipal govern- ment for the ensuing year. CROPS AND DISTRIBUTION. According to reports of conditions which have been gathered by the sta- tistical department of the United States Chamber of Commerce, every- thing points to a great fruit year. Suf- ficiently encouraging is it to warrant the expectation of a record breaking yield of berries, cherries, grapes,peach- es, apricots, pears and apples. The whole list is due to feel the kindness of nature in a way which should make the entire country happy and this comes at a time when bumper crops are being promised as well. Surely much ¢an be expected from the horn of plenty if the basis for the predic- tions are trustworthy. E And yet with all these indications and warnings. of big crops of fruit nothing is heing heard about any ef- fort being undertaken for better dis- tribution. There have been big fruit vields before and it is wunusual ' if some section does not have that ex- perienee almost every year but little effort is made to get the full benefit thereof. How often is the absence of a market reported in thkis section of the couniry for peaches and apples? Al- most every year there are reports of fruit being left to rot"in orchards or thrown to the hogs, when not distant communities are either paying -high, prices or going without. Big crops amount to. but little unless the way is provided for moving them. The quesgtion of distribution is one which should not be dodged because of the benefit which it would be both to the producer and consumer. Big crops mean little unless the people get the good of them and to do that there must be preparation. It i8 a lucky thing for the fellow predicts congress will - hold all that he doesn’t fill 5 & whade i houses and the public .of valuable sidewalk space. It means that the trolley company must be able to reach an agreement with the .property own- ers whereby the supporting wires can be attached to buildings instead of to the poles. It means concessions upon the part of both for while the prop- erty owners are conceding an encum- brance, if they do, the company is al- so.giving up its pole rights which are always zealously guarded. . The idea has been tried out with success in Atlanta, Lynn and Holvoke, It has its good points without any ill effects and contributes materially to the greater #reedom in the street. In conrtection with the steadily growing large and unsightly poles the under- ‘ean appreciate the advantages of do- ing away with them. They would be missed, but happily so. ALBANIA’S FUTURE. The king of Albania did not go to his throne with the expectation that he would find it a bed of roses. There | ) ecoat, was nothing to give him such an im- pression. Prince Willlam of Wied, and he ac- cepted after much thought over the|young man act promptly; advance knowledge of'existing condi- tions. Thus, even with the assumption | enou: of a hard task for the greater credit which might come from the successful are being experienced there at the were forecasted. Except for the jealously and rivalry which exists in that region over the securing of additional territory, Alba- nia would today several of the Balkan states, which fully understand its people and which | through with that cigar, I presume. could have administered the govern- ment thereof with less friction and without doubt to the greater satisfac- tion of Albanians. Albania had to take | of the corner he met a young man what she got, and the Balkan states likewise, becawse Austria and Italy so j decreed. Thus are these nations look- ed to at presemt for help by the new king, and there promises to be plenty of chances to render it before the sub- jects of the prince are made a united, loyal people. Albania has far from a peaceful outlook. RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE. Bven though it may not be able to accomplish all that it ought in remov- ing the rotten political conditions which exist in the state of South Caro- lina, the democratic state convention has recognized the need of reform and a firm stand against Bleaseism. It is to its credit that it has adopted a new set of rules for the state primary, which, while not the same as governs state elections. places greater obsta- cles in the way of fraud. Conditions in that commonwealth have demanded radical attention for a long time, but it has remained for the practices under the present governor and the system which he has built up for furthering his political future to make it impossible to wink at them further. The choice of delegates to the convention indicated reform action, and even though less than might have been done within reason, the action taken indicates progress in the right direction. However, as in all such cases, the job has ony been commenced. Rules have been made to bring about a re- form, but unless they are lived up to and enforced, they fail ghort of their purpose. It therefore rests with the people of the state of South Carolina to let it be known that public senti- ment is in accord with the determina- tion to down Bleaseism and forever end the career of a man who defies courts, institutions and laws for his only welfare and political betterment. The people of the state having it in their power should be heard. EDITORIAL NOTES. New Haven directors too ill to testi- fy should understand what a relief it has been for Mr. Mellen.

If you want to see him you'll have to make the cirucuit of them all.” Late that night Bondell returned to his home after a fruitless search for the unfortunate lover. As he was mounting the steps a cab halted at the curb. 5 ‘“Papa,” came a wee voice, “Henry and I have been married to-night, and you'll forgive your own little girl, won’t you?’ The broker staggered down the steps with arms outstretched. “God bless you both!” he exclaimed fer- vently—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

There is in the world a worse thing than being ignorant; it is the fear of seeming ignorant. Ignorance is no disgrace if a man is aware of it and honestly confesses it. In fact, it is a relative term; we are all ignorant, each in his degree; and the higher one is in the scale of wis- dom the more good-naturedly he ad- mits his limitations. The words most crate’s lips: weré: “I dont And T was to blame! the broker asked, A wag in France has “put one over” on the distinguished stateman of that country and all. Europe is roaring. He wrote to the members of the municipal coyncil and of the chamber of deputies, proposing to erect a sta- tue to Hegesippe Simoa, the renown- ed “precursor and educator of democ- racy.” His letter was on paper upon which was the printed heading, “Com- mittee on the Centenary of Hegesippe Simon.” There was also a quotation drawn, naturally, from the works of the distinguished author, “When the sun rises the clouds vanish.” The circular epistle extolled the great and unappreciated work of the “precursor,” and added that some un- known wealthy man had offered to pay for the statue. Favorable responses were received from nine deputies, an ex-minister, fifteer senators, and three counselors. They had never heard of Simon, but life is short and history is-long, and one cannot be expected to have heard of everybody. In any event, it wouid not cost anything, and why not come in on this ~movement, which would doubtless be duly exploited by the newspapers? Many more might have allowed their names to appear on the committee had not Leon. Bourgeois smelt a mouse and warned his colleagues. Then it all came out. There never was a Hegesippe Simon save in the fertile brain of the gentleman who had devised the hoax. How many a man has been made a fosl by his silly vanity—by s fear to_say frankly, “I don’t know Let us here charitably not speak of those who rave over old masters and haven't the slightest idea of what they signify; of those who burn in- cense before The Walkyrle,” yet in- wardly prefer ‘The Merry Widow"; nor of those who publicly adore the cubists while what really pleases them is the art calendar of a brew- erv.

However, that means a etty complete change of policy, attitude and methods. If the express companies suf- fer or die the fault is clearly their own.—Bristol Press. It is absurd to suggest that pro- viding an extravagant body with more money to spend will make it economi- cal. Were it not for the veto power of the governor which was exercised so well at the close of the last legis- lature, New Haven's tax bill would be much larger than it really is and so would that of other towns and cities in Connecticut. The state ought to live within its income and then there practice our little bluffs. Turn The Baby’s ' ‘Tears to Laughter N A Gentle Baby Laxative Will Quickly Relieve the Usual Cause of the Trouble. Tt is often difficult to tell just whatis the matter with a crying, peevish baby or child too young to express its feel- ings in words, but as a general rule the mother will find that there is a ten- dency to eonstipation, which has brought on a headache or nervousness. The little one has no pain, but feels “out of sorts.” The first thing to try is a family remedy containing good but mild lax- ative properties, and many mothers will say that their choice would be Dr. Caldweil’s Syrup Pepsin. Thousands of mothers keep it in the house for such emergencles, amo: whom may be mentioned Mrs. John Kirch, Jr., 1527 Abstract Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa. She has been giving it suecessfully to lit- tle Walter, whose picture we present at three months, when he weighed 14% pounds.

There are many estates left in trust the maintenance of widows and orphans made up wholly of New Haven stock.

The trial of William Laud, the ceie- brated archbishop of Canterbury of the reign of Charles I, was one of tne most remarkable of any ecclesiastical trials in history. He was one of the very few of the high churchmen of England to have so offended as to have lost his head on the block. The archbishop tried to carry out the wishes of his monarch and which he himself believed to be right, but he was not in accord with the spirit of the times or suited to the temper of the people. He made a serious ous but a fruitless effort to attemtp to repress puritanism, but the penalty he paid for trying to serve Charles was the hatred of the English parliament and of the people generally. The attempt of Laud to force upon the people his own severe ideas re- garding religion, public morals and methods of worship, and finally his renttemgt to establish episcopacy in Scotland, led to his arrest on March 1, 1641, and his imprisonment in the tower. Laud was first stripped of his honor then he was exppsed to many indigni- ties and injustices, and was finally brought to trial before the house of lords on Nov. 22, 1643, on 'a charge of treason and other crimes. The actual trial did net begin till March 12, 1644. There was hardly even the semblance of judicial impartiality at the trial The few members of the house of lords who still remained at Westmin- ster stroiled in and out, without car- ing to obtain any connected idea of the evidence on either side. They had made up their minds that Laud had attempted to alter the founda- tion of church and state, and that was enough for them. Among the many charges brought against the archbishop were: That he had traitorously ‘“endeavored to subvert the laws: that he had denied the autnority of pariiaments; that by threats and promises to the judges he had perverted the tourse of justice; that in his own courts he had sold Ldumc! and had taken bribes; that he caused divers canons to be made contrary to the king's prerogative and the laws; and that he had endeavored to subvert the true religion, etc. At thé trial, after these charges were read to him, the archbishop TONIGH In Town Hall, at 8 o'clock, under the auspices of the Norwich Association Opposed to Woman’s Suffrage " Speaker, MRS.

I am not very solicitous about my sentence, for, thank God.' I have spent my time so that I am neither ashamed to live nor afraid to die. Nor can the world be more weary of me than I am of the world. But if none of these things whereof these men accuse me merited death by law, and though I may not in this case appeal to Caesar, yet I will do their lordships’ justice, never doubting but God will protect my innocence. The trial dragged on during the entire summer of 1644 and it was not until Oct. 11 that Laud's counsel was heard on points of law. On the 28th a petition for the execution of Laud was presented to the commons by a large number of Londoners, and on the 31st the commons, dropping the impeachment,” resolved to proceed by an ordinance of attainer. As the lords delayed the passage of this ordinarice, they were threatened with the intervention of the mob. Finally, on Jan. 4, 1645, the house of lords passed the ordinance. The archbishop had -in his posses- sion a pardon from the king dated April, 1643. This he tendered to the houses, but though the lords were in- clined to accept it it was rejected by the commons. He then asked that the usual barbarous form of execution treason might in his case be commuted for beheading, and, though the com- mons at first rejected his request, on the Sth they decided to agree to it Being: brought to the scaffold on Tower hill on Jan. 10, hé mounted it with an air of great resolution and cheerfulness and began his speech with the following text of scripture: “Let us run with patience, the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus,” etc. He demied all the ac- cusations against him and declared himself a friend to the church of Eng- land, to the constitution and to the pariiament. After a prayer he moved forward to take his place at the block. Sir John Clotworthy, however, thought fit to interrupt him with theological ques- tions. Laud answered some of them and then turned away and after a prayer laid his head upon block. He was beheaded in the seventy-second year of his age. — e ' Among the young ladies of Born okmmai ear lobes are regarded as a mark of beauty. 7 ESEEEsEER by Popular PRIN -1 SUMMER RATES May 1st, to October lst, inclusive VACATION CRUISES PANAMA CANAL and WEST INDIES CUBA, JAMAICA, COSTA RICA, COLOMBIA “PRINZ”’ Steamers of our ATLAS — NEXT SAILING — 2, SIGISHOD, Hay % 2 to 5 M c%”;\wu.' road ssepssss SERVICE v ke
