The war in Europe has resulted in the shutting off of many of the im- portant products of those countries and as a result many lines of business in this country have felt the effect of the shortage. Users of dyes, chem- icals and other materials where de- pendence was placed chiefly upon the foreign producer, have been brought to a realization of what such a han- dicap means and what should be un- dertaken to overcome it. Carbolic acid is one of the things for which much dependence is placed °n England and Germany. Demands for it in those countries in the man- ufacture of high explosives has re- sulted in lessened exports with the result that production in this country fias been made necessary to overcome the shortage. Necessity is tse moth- er of invention and in this instance it proves the impetus for overcoming ® handicap for it was the need of the acid which drove Thomas A. Edison to produce it from benzoil, of which this country has an unlimited supply. Edison has simply demonstrated that there is no need of being dependent upon European manufacture of this product and what is true of carbolic acld is equally true of other goods upon which we are dependent upon Europe. Mr. Bdison has been forced into this development, but it illus- trates as nothing else can the oppor- tunities which exist for the utiliza- tion of our resources and the building up of more business at home. Han- dicaps may exist, but handicaps can be overcome. It was so in the /yasl and it is equally true today. “TEACH THEM TO SHOOT.” As the result of the first few weeks of the participation of the British troops in the European war and the call for recruits, it was the order of Lord Kitchener concerning these un- trained men that it made little dif- ference whether they knew right from left, but “teach them to shoot.” Such is a necessary requirement if they are going to be of service and If their participation is going to mean war and not the filling of gaps with green men who know not how to shoot but are simply led up to be slaughtered. The advice of the head of England’s war office is in accordance with what the national board for the promotion of rifie practice in this country has Men endeavoring to accomplish. Even sm-=¢ the state militia where this ©#vaity must look for its reserves in case of need. there is none too much effort devoted to the use of the rifle. Field days, indoor contests and prize competitions arouse interest to a cer- tain extent and among a certain num- Dber but there is less attention given to proficiency with the rifie than in many other directions, and yet there is where the skill must be if duty calls, Perfection in drill has its value, but tha real efficiency of the militia should come through the result of their work with the rifie on both indoor and out- door ranges. Without knowing how to handl: a rifle and using it at the tarzets the other training amounts to little. As Kitchener has so wisely satd the men should be taught to shoot even if’ it has to become a more important part of the necessary requirements onnected with the citizen soldiers’ en- listment. GOVERNMENT SHIP LINE. It is qv > evident despite the de- sire of the president that the govern- ment ownership and operation of mer- chant vessels be pushed as an ad- ministration measure, that there is still much opposition thereto. It has been manifested throughout the con- sideration of the bill and such oppo- sition prompted the lending of pres- dential influence, but it is neverthe- less a fact that it is looked upon with much disfavor. Even though it can be sufficiently lemonstrated that the government has he right to go ahead with such a position, it is impossible to over- ook the attitude which has been taken w leading foreign governments in be- 1alf of certain features of the biil Chis situation indicates the trouble vhich lies ahead of such an under- jaking, and in view of our avowed vo- Subscription price 12¢ a week; 50c a sition of neutrality and which is being so zealously guarded, is something which cannot be disregarded. It is not impossible to consider what such a government ownership venture means financially when the use of $30,000,000 is contemplated in a scheme which is being rushed into action, and at a time when timely con- sideration is being given to economy in_government affairs. Even though it is being urged as an administrative measure, it deserves the serious thought of congress as to its advisability. It is we'l to be sure before going ahead with such an effort even though it means a de- lay or even its defeat. WORK OF THE TARIFF CUT, Business conditions throughout the country are to some extent affected by the war, but it is Impossible for all to be attributed thereto. The war comes at an opportune time and every effort is being made to use it as & blind for covering up the operations of the tariff for revenue only policy, tut facts speak louder than words. The disastrous results of the tariff bill dld not commence simultaneously with the opening of the war. It had begun to get in its work before, as the available import figures for July plainly point out. The months of July in 1913 and 1914 permit of a com- parison under the old and the new tariff bills and it is shown that in July, before the war opened, there was an increase in the imports of manufac- tures of silk of 228 per cent. In hosiery there avas an increase of 45 per cent. ‘Wool varied according to class from 781 to 55 per cent., automobiles and parts showed a gain of 49 per cent.. cloths 124 per cent., dress goods 201 per cent., carpets 58 per cent., wearing apparel 92 per cent, cutlery 82 per cent, paper and manufactures 54 per cent., leather and tanned skins 88 per cent., lace 92 per cent. and linen yarn 60 per cent. This means first of all that the industries of this country were being discriminated agalnst. Such means less American production, and there has been no fulfilment of promises as to low prices. e country has lost the business. It has suffered a serious curtailment of revenue. It has been made to pay an income tax and still another tax is coming for more revenue, but it cannot be fooled into believing that it was all the result of the war. THE BANK RESERVES. When Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo made public a list of banks throughout the country which he charged with maintaining too large resarves, he apparently acted upon the cold facts obtainable at Washing- *on, without any investigation what- ever as to the actual conditions sur- rounding the institutions which he called out by name. 'The natural re- su't of such, action is that the banks are placed in a false light, under the secretary’s claim of hoarding and ex- cessive interest, but from the explan- ations which are being furnished, by many of the banks named, good rea- sons are being advanced for the re- serves which they are carrying. Spe- cial circumstances, local conditions, restricted deposits of government or other money all serve to show that the secretary might have spoken with ereater accuracy had he acquainted himself with the conditions before speaking. It would certainly have been doing greater justice to such banks as he named had he first taken the trouble to analyze the reasons for maintaining the reserves which they do. Much nearer could he come to the actual situation under those conditions and much better prepared would he be for making or withholding such a charge as has been launched. There is ap- parently a vast difference between Mr. McAdoo’s opinion of how the banks about the country should meet their local problems and how experience has taught the officlals of the banks the task must be accomplished. It has given the banks opportunity to show as their answers indicate that the allegations still remain to be proved, EDITORIAL NOTES. After this Villa-Carranza reaches an end, what next? fight Villa may be trying to prove that it is a hard job to keep a bad man down. Having had only an earthquake shock Ecuador can feel that she es- caped lightly. The Giants’ finish is a fizzle. Re- moved from first place they have play- ed like secdnd divisioners. The Marconi Wireless company probably rea'lzes ere this that dis- cretion is the better part of valor. The man on the corner says: Some people pray for what they would like to have and others read the want ads. If Massachusetts gets a state in- come tax it may come to be kmown more popularly as the democratic out- go tax. There is something similar in this Villa-Carranza fight, to the war among the Balkan states after they had whip- ped Turkey. —_— This effort of the weatherman to please the iceman one week and the coal dealer the next isn’t giving much consideration to the wayfarer. Getting at the truth of the atroci- ties in the Balkan war was an easy task compared to what is promised after the present war is over. Having refused Germany permissfon to send three army corps across its territory, Switzerland is not cowed even by the experience of Belgium, It hasn't taken long for them to cut the wires in Mexico, but if they would cut their revolutions and do what ought to be done, something might be accomplished. Potinding the center and efforts to circle the ends have got to furnish more than the usual excitement to arouse much gridiron enthusiasm this year. —— Although the president has discour- aged his endorsement for a second term by New Jersey, he feels differ- ently over their inclinatlon than as If it had not been manifested.

This is the only country where it would be safe, and even here there would be danger of startling peaceful people. But, for all that, av- iation is having the greatest season in 1ts history.—New Haven Register. The individual man is as important today as ever. That wondertul en- thusiasm and devotion to duty of the ‘English soldiers has proved at times more potent than the leaden rain of modern guns. Bayonet charges and hand to hand encounters have been irequent. Almost superhuman acts have been achieved by men spurred by that courage which real patriotism begets.—Meriaen Journal. In spite of the colonel and the or- ganization being against him, Sulzer looms up as a dangerous possibility in New York state, where he is max- ing an active canvass for the pro- gressive nomination for governor. Even Professor Taft ought to be will- ing to offer up a prayer that the colonel's party may not wind up In Sulzer. It would be too heartrending a joke—Waterbury Republican. The government is very anxious about the beef supply, which is said Lo be very short; so it is looking around to see how to increase it. There is o real ground for alarm about this, fir the increase will come about by people eating less of it, and this experience will be good for them. Meat once a day, and very little at a time, will re- sult in a plentiful supply, and at the same time increase the health of the people.—Torrington Register. Bridgepért business men will be pleased to note that the republicans of the 18th senatorial district, which in- cludes New London and Groton, have nominated Lucius H. Whiton of New London for senator. Mr. Whiton rep- resented New London in the house. in 1809 and 1911. He is an able and fearless debater, having the welfare of the people and of the state at heart. He is also one of the progressive man- ufacturers of the state, in his realiza- tion that the interests of employer and employe are not conflicting, and he has always worked for the betterment of the conditions of employment.— Bridgeport Standard. This is the season of the year when New England comes into her own. Our climate may be frightfully hot in summer and unbearably cold in win- ter, with sudden changes galore, but there is no disputing that the fall is ideal.

You left me to hear things and not know whether they were true or not.” “The fortune teller said,” related the girl, “that Louise was going to marry a man with dark hair. He's a lawyer and is tall and imposing looking. They are going to travel a lot.” “Tell me what the fortune teller said about you.” “I thought you'd be interested in hearing about Louisc. You're a lawyer, you know.” “I don't care a rap about Louise,” ne announced, grimly, “Tell me about vourself.

Mr. Editor: Will you permit me through your columns to call attention | to one or two special points in the président’s proclamation concerning next Sunday, all of which, by the w: is so admirable In spirit and wordi that it might well be printed in full again. “All God-fearing persons” are urged “to repair on that day to their places of worship,” there to lay their peti- tions together before Almighty God. Should not those houses of worship be filled? All of us are affected in some measure by this tragic war, and sure- ly those who have a relizlous faith and human sympathy are disposed in the face of such need to pray. Espe- cially would we invite the participa- tion of those who, having lately come among us, have perhaps not felt them- selves wholly at home as yet in any churches in this country. Many of them have near kin in the contending armies, and are filled with anxious foreboding concerning their former home or lifelong friends. Surely we can pray together, and that prayer will itself be a step toward the real- ization of a brotherhood which shall at last make war impossible. Furthermore, we are not called to pray for a fruitless truce, nor yet in any partisan spirit for the success of one or another group in arms. We are asked to pray that “overruling the counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in His mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none, God vouchsafe His children healing peace again, and re- store once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship nor any wholesome fruit of toil and thought in the world; pray- ing also to this end that He forgive us our sins, our ignorance of His holy will, our wilfulness and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise.” In such desires we can be united. And while there is no need, as some have suggested, to inform the Al- mighty how He may bring His pur- | poses to pass, there is need for us to This Fine Old Gentiemar Calls Dufiy’s “The Elixir of Life’ Q ) WS H.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS L Secret of Happiness, It is the commonest things in the world that most need definition. There are certain vital subjects the mind handles every day, indeed must handle because they are as essential to thought as bread and water to the body; and by much handling these subjects become smooth as old coins. Once in a while it is well to examine them minutely, to see what “image and superscription” is thereon. Nothing is more constantly spoken of than happiness. It is the end of religion, the object of philosophy, the dream of the wretched, the quest of the whole world. But what is it? Suppose we ask ourselves that. Arnd suppose we patiently and honestly try to find an answer. If we discover what happiness is, or at least what it means to us, we have gone a long way tow- ard grasping happiness, the thing it- self. Someone has sald: “Happiness is great love and much servic If you will look about -carefully among the people you know, not neg- lecting yourself, you will discover that not one of them is happy that does not love. Furthermore, that all of them are happy in the exact proportion as_they love. You can get a certain something that resembles happiness from the grati- fication of desire, from eating, drink- ing, playing and the like. But it all has in itself the seed of boredom. Yuu get sated from satifying appetite; but in the happiness that comes from love is no satiety. What is true of love is equally true of service; because to love is to serve. Search again among the people you know and note that they are happy m proportion as they serve.
