It is not surprising that Waterbury s deeply concerned over the curtail-} ment of its maii service when the claim is made that it is now the worst in twenty years. Hard hit is any seetion of the state which is de- prived of the means of reasonable communieation which keeps it in touch with the rest of the world and in no respect does it concern a greater num- ber or have a greater effect upon bus- iness thanm when the mall service is involved. For a city of its size the isolation of Waterbury has been “dis- tressing, but to be deprived of im- portant advantages which it had means a setback to the city which furnishes just cause for public indig- nation. The present situation is due to the action of the Connecticut company In refusing to continue their contract for carrying the mail on the trolleys, an al@ to mail service which has been of great advantage to not a few com- munities. Inability to make satisfac- tory arrangements with the post office department for the readjustment of rates and conditions upon a basis of fairness has brought about the sev- sramee of busimess relations and it is the public which suffers. Tt presents a condition not in keep- ing with the demand. If as alleged the business of transporting the mail has increased to the point where the recompense is insdequate there ought to be the disposition to secure a prop- er adjustment, with full realization of the faet that it is the people’s bus- iness and that public convenience is the first requirement. Jume 20... THE NICARAGUA TREATY. In connection with the prepesed Nicaragua treaty, which by the way is mot a new proposition, there can be mo harm come from an Investiga- tiem of the circumstances which are invelved therein, provided there is no unreasonable delay in bringing the matter up for action, When the Nicaragua route was abandoned for the Panama ecanal, it was not because it had been found a prohibitive proposition, but because in the judgment of eminent engineers there were advantages to be gained thereby. The development of the Nic- aragua route was possible then and it is today and if ever built such a canal would further shorten the sailing dis- tance for vessels engaged in trade via such a route. What may result from our eonduct of the Panama canal bus- iness can never be foreseen and as long as the Nicaragua route is on the mar- ket it furnishes an opportunity for g:;dnpment by some foreign syndi- Though it is not likely that this country would ever undertake the bullding of the Nicaragua canal or cer- tainly not for a long period of years, it 18 well enough to control the right and thus ‘prevent others from stepping into the fleld ana thus prevent an un- ‘warranted competition in canal tolls and the gontrol which goes with such an important possession. It is not an exorbitant figure which is fixed in the treaty. It was urged by the last ad- ministration and involves Central American interests in a manner whieh O Mr, Pinkeron has undertakien @ task which is likely to meet with rugged | obposition from those who. are-profit- ing frem such business, but it is in- that he wil get the b of the unbiased public who have often reaMzed the need of just such re- straint, e GQOD MANNERS. In one of his recent addresses Gow- ernor Baldwin toak occasion to gtve some good advice to a gathering of school teachers upom the importance of teaching sood manners in the schools, calling attention as he did so to the laxity in that regard which ap- pears to exist today among the young people. It is likely that this tendency is something which the governor is not the only one to discover. It is pointed out by the Ansonia Sentinel that the blame does not rest upen the schools for “the problem af- ter all is one of the home. The boy and girl of this day as of other days, is imstinctively imitative. He bases his deportment largely upon the de- portment of those with whom he is in daily and hourly contact. When we criticise the manners of the chil- dren we are preferring an indictment against the manners of ourselves. Courtesy, consideration and respect for others must be practiced by elders before it can be granted on the young. The governor is right in his eriticism, but the blame does not rest upon the ehildren =0 much as upon the parents. When we set them the example of courtesy, self control and kindly con- sideration wo will be astonished to find how quickly and effectually they will learn the desirable lesson. Re- form in this respect as in all others must begin at home.” 1f all homes were alike and assum- ed their full responsibilities such might -be left to the home, but it is because they are not that the problem is one of the school as well as the bome and particularly where the home is not equal to it does itrest much heav- ier upon the school. It certainly sheuld not be neglected in either training ground. ILLEGAL DRUG SELLING. Cocaine and other dangerous drug using and selling has been going om in New York too long to expect ta stop it in a minute, but such only calls for the constant enforcement of the law concerning this evil. With the imposition of sentences varying from six months to fhree years upon those convicted of drug vending in that city there is manifested a disposition upon the part of the courts to give the re- quired cooperation with pelice and clvic organizations for the stamping out of this demoralizing trade and practice. Because there Is a handsome profit to be gaimed through the illegal sale of drugs such trafic is carried Yom whenever and wherever opportunity prevails, and nething is so calcilated to put an end thereto like the em- forcement of the law and the imposi- tion of adequate penalties. The vie- tims of the habit should have such protection, whether they desire it or not while-there who have encouraged and continue to make their condition worse deserve the limit of the law. It must likewise be realized that it is not the peddlers alone who must be reached’ if this condition is to be Dbettered, but those higher up from whom the drug is obtainable in large quantities. The presence of the street venders gives evidence that there are those far more rsponsible to be reached and until they are disclosed and prop- erly dealt with little betterment can be expected. It is a fight which should be relentlessly continued, mot solely when complaint is made but as a special endeavor for the great moral benefit which is bound to result. "EDITORIAL NOTES.

S. senator and while 1 eannot see how Bryan F. Mahan can expect any dem- ocrat to consider his candidacy at this time and while I Dbelieve that nothing can prevent the re-election of Senator Brandegee, I would like to ask some Mahan followers what claim he can possibly have on his party, wheh one of the main issues is to be the Panama tolls question, and Senator Brandegee voted with President Wil- son, while Bryn F. Mahan made a gal- lery play by voting against the preel- dent, The wroter of this is friend to Governor Baldwin but it w-l tainly looks to him as if the eonly democratio hope-af doing saything atl alt in the line of precuring votes for U. S, senator is to meminate a man who ‘is right up and dewn with Pres- ident Wilson. It looks to me as if Senator Bran- degee in his great speech on Panama tolls had “holed” his fellow towna- man, and in going around I fail to find a single democrat outside of a few postmasters and New London people who even consider Mahan as a possible candidate. Of course in New London he is mentioned for every of- fice from U. S. senator down to jus- tice of the peace, and no doubt he would hold all the jobs if he could. I fall to find where he ever gave up a small job to take a big one—notably :nu;yor and congressman at the same e. Very soon now the conventions will meet and by starting in at the tep, U. S. Senator Mahan may land one of th minor jobs, but if he runs against Senator Brandegee in case of nemin ations he certainly is due for the in evitable result, that is the worst trim. ming any democrat ever got in Con- necticut. It's all bosh boys. Mr. Ma- han don't even t a look in for the senatorial candidacy. He ia holed, the hola plugged up and a trap set an all break 5134:- where he might break out by U, S.
