It was by a close vote that the li- quor license fee in this state was jumped $300 in the house last week, making the amount $750, but it was by an appreciably increased vote that reconsideration was refused. This ac- tion was taken despite the effort that was being made for the fixing of the amount at $600 and must be looked upon as approval of a high license fee. The bill now goes to the senate, where it has been declared that the smaller increase is favored, it being figured that such would result in a Dbenefit to the state of about a third of a million on the basis of the pres- ent number of saloons. TUnder the cxisting conditions the money from the licenses goes to the towns in which they are located and the coun- ty, but under the increase the addi- tional amount would go to the state. Just what effect the $750 fee would have upon the number of saloons is problematical, but it is certain that it would affect them differently than the $600 fee, and figured from the stand- point of revenue the plan of the state to feed off of such business is open to the. danger of materially decreasing the income to the towns which permit the existence of saloons through re- fuction of the number of saloons. To de- crease the income to the towns where they are tolerated that the state may get a4 boost in revenue may of course be looked upon as a means of reduc- ing the number, but from the financial viewpoint™ the amount which goes to the state should be only that which Is in excess of what is now received by the towns. Otherwise it means the using of town revenue to help out the state or an extra tax from the towns which have saloons, OUR NAVAL CONDITION, It is an interesting report that has béen made to President Garfield of Williams college by Secretary Dan- lels upon the condition of the navy at the present time. It is also a lengthy reply because as the secre- tary considers it is an epoch making period and because he believes there has been an effort to misrepresent the true conditions for political purposes. It is gratifying as shown by the secretary that the navy now possess 86 more vessels fully commissioned than it did two years ago, that the vessels under construction are great- er in number by 23 than at the same ime two years ago, that increased at- tention is being given to the produc- don of ammunition, mines, torpedoes ind the building up of the submarine ind aviation branches of the navy. All these are contributions of much ‘mportance which are necessary in a well equipped navy. It is impossible to belittle the fact that much of this activity for a larger aumber of commissioned Vessels, an Increase in vessels and preparedness aas come through the agitation which 1ag been carried on in its behalf, not 1s a matter of political opposition, be- tause it was supported by the mem- bers of all parties, but through an in- lerest in the proper defense of the na- don. Secretary Danlels attributes much to “a patriotic congress,” but the efforts which were required to ob- ‘ain_that which is being secured, in tesponse to the setting forth of con- litions, indicate as well the patriotism which moved those who sought to have ‘he country’s navy brought to the proper efficiency. EMPLOYING CRIMINALS, Nothing gives a blackeye to the ex- ‘ension of sympathy and the lending of ) helping hand to the unfortunate like ngratitude, but as an example of the ixtent to which such can be carried iothing stands out like the murder f a New York woman by the man vhom she had desired to aid. Bellev- ng that she was giving assistance, mch as would be appreciated, to a nember of a crew of one of the in- erned German steamships, she found vork for the fellow in her household s a butler. Having previously qual- fled so that he received a recom- nendation from the Seamen’s Institute iis dual nature was not disclosed un- il it was too late to prevent’ the lendish crime of murdering his ben- factor and an invalid Investigations made disclose the tion which had been practiced the inatitute- and-peon the employer and bring to light the fact that he was an ex-convict, which, had it been known, would have been sufii- cient to have prevented the killing of this_particular woman, since she was disposed out of sympathy to her coun- trymen to help a needy German sea- man, though the murderer, it is rea- sonable to infer, was only waiting for the opportunity to reengage in the practice of crime where opportunity gave him a chance. All ex-convicts must not be judged by the actions of this one, who de- serves the full penalty of the law, but he has made the path of those who look for sympathy after repenting their course in crime all the harder. Many will view with greater suspicion the employment of such people in the fu- ture, and upon sober second thought it may be the part of wisdom to keep them away from such places of temp- tation. SHOW LIBERTY BELL. Having agreed to permit the trans- portation of the Liberty bell to the Pacific coast that it may be viewed by thousands who would in all prob- ability never see it otherwise, the Philadelphia officials may have sup- posed that their troubles were over. Such, however, is not so, for now come the petitions from children in almost every city of any size through- out the southwest requesting that stop-over privileges be granted that they may have the opportunity of get- ting a glimpse of this important relic. School children, it is to be remem- bered, were instrumental in bringing pressure to bear in behalf of the trip to the exposition. It was for their benefit that it was decided the risk of the cross country ride should be taken. There will be a great many children ‘long the Pacific coast who will at- tend the fair and whio will be greatly impressed by the sight of the bell and the part that it has played in history, but no more so than will the children of the other cities through which it passes. Some of them may go to the fair, but a greater number will not and it is only the proper display of justice to them that they should be allowed a peek if such a thing is pos- sible without unpacking it at every junction. Compliance with all requests may be impossible because of thé ecircuitous route that would be necessitated, but what is to prevent the starting of the bell at once and halting it an hour or so in the different cities through which it will pass that Young Amer- ica and the old, too, for that matter can have the satisfaction of seeing it. They may never be where tiey can see it again. It won’t hurt the fair and it won’t hurt the bell. CHARLES F. THAYER, Charles F. Thayer, former mayor of Norwich, the news of whose sudden death will come with a great shock this morning, has long held a place of prominence in the affairs of Nor- wich and eastern Connecticut, and his loss will be sincerely motirned. Few citizens had a wider acquaint- ance. For years he has ranked among the leading members of the legal pro- fession from this section and his un- timely death means a loss similar to that which the community experienced in the passing of Frank T. Brown and Donald G, Perkins. Mr. Thayer has taken & prominent part in politics as a democrat during a long period of years, securing from his party the honor of being selected as candidate for congress and for the governorship. For ten years he was at the head of the city government, his ability and fitness for the office winning recognition from members of all parties, and in which office only one other mayor ever served for a longer period. He was a student of municipal affairs and to him Norwich owes its municipal gas and electric plant, together with many other mu- nicipal improvements and reforms. He was progressive, an optimist, and had unbounded faith in the future ot Norwich. His ideas relative to the conduct of a city were given wide- pread attention far beyond the limits of the city and state. He was a man of great resource, strong convictions, an indefatigable worker and the poss sessor of a keen analytical mind, which charactterized his whole life. He was a leader whose passing means a distinet, loss to the citizenship of Norwich, EDITORIAL NOTES. Just what Italy is going to do is about 'as uncertain as some of the other war reports. The daughters of the Mexican rev- olutions can see nothing at present to inspire them to organize. Former President Taft and Secretary Bryan were on the same Baltimore platform, but it wasn’t the political one. —_— The man on the corner says: As an offset to the war why not ralse the question whether “mumps are” or “mumps is?” President Wilson has made it plain that i{f V. Huerta should want to call t the White House there would be ‘nobody home.” ‘'With Japan making its demands it would appear that China had enough trouble without being called upon to wrestle with a famine, Greece is only awaiting an invita- tion to join the allies, it is said, but there is little chance of its getting pushed in like Belgium. Now that an antiséptic and anaes- thetic bullet has beén invented why not one that will simply tag a soldier and require his surrender? The idea of the Germans to make lubricating oil out of molasses ought to appeal to many a small boy. It's a great help to a slice of bread, —— ‘With the Minnesots aground in the inland sea of Japan, the mikado’s em-| pire hasn’t shown any disposition to think that this ‘country was planning a naval base at that point. Between the allies and the Germans there are counter charges as to the use of gas in the attacks on each other. Whatever it is, it is certain that it is miore than hot air. ‘While Connecticut is considering the Jjitneys it is to be noted that Rhode Island’s legislature decides to bond them at $500 a seat and legve further regulation to the cities and towns. However the torpedoing of mer- chantmen may be justified in the eyes of the perpetrators there certainly isn’t a spark of justice in firing upon those who attempt to rescue a drown- ing crew. That is nothing but bar- ‘barism. ' THE CONQUEROR Both Alida and Joshua Harber suf- fered intensely because of their par- ents. Despite money, travel and the elevating influence of culture and the arts, the elder Harbers remained strictly old fashioned—which to their oftspring was something to be borne like an uncle in state’s prison or any- thing else disgraceful. ‘When the craze arrived for stripping one’s home pictures, bric-a-brac and superfluities Alida became an enthus- jastic follower of the new cult. “It's so restful!” she joyfully told her mother. “You've no idea!l And think of the dusting it saves! Anyhow, our walls just reek of pictures—let's begin by taking down that thing of Lake Lucerne I've always hated because it is too impossibly beautiful. “Well, I should say not!” distinctly interrupted her mother, sitting straight up in her indignation. ‘T'd have you know that your father and I got that Lake Lucerne picture on our wedding trip—and it looks pre- cisely like it and_ was painted by a very nice artist. I recollect yet how gentlemanly he was, I'm surprised you should think of such a thing! And vou needn’t look with that expression at my ‘Good-Night' and ‘Fast Asleep’ pictures. They are much sweeter and prettier than the awful poster things people rave over nowadays and, be- sides, they brighten up that dull cor- ner by the piano! I saw the cubist exhibit and if you have anything like that in mind to decorate our home please stop it because I hope to end my days outside of the asylum where those things -certainly would drive me!” “We might clear off some of these photos and vases,” suggested Alida attacking at a new point and pausing at the mantel. “Alida Harber “What's got into you? pictures of your dear uncles and aunts and their families? And the bridai groups of your cousins I think Carrie’s expression is so touching in that one where she is gazing up into Herbert's fac ‘Whoever would have thought they’d end in a dreadful di- vorce as they have! It makes me s0 sad every time I look at it! “Don’t touch that blue vase! I know it doesn't harmonize with a thing in the room, but ‘Allie Beetle gave it to me when I was married and I wouldn't hurt her feelings for the world! No, I know she lives a thousand miles away, but in these days you never can tell when people will drop down from an aeroplane! Allie’s so sensi- tive!” Alida’s much. ‘I could endure the bric-a-brac and picture: he admitted, “because I can shut my eyes tightly and rush through the rooms, and there are moments when I even can forgive them my name, but I'm blessedq if there is any power on earth can make me resigned when I consider the what-not!” Alida groaned in sympathy. “And,’ pursued the embittered Joshua, “it isn’t so much the what- not as the horrible things on it! They haunt me when I've eaten too much lobster! That pink couch shell they got on the Pacific coast—and the spec- imens of ore from Colorado and the Rockies, and the wax flowers that mother's school friend made, and the fret saw jiggers, and the shells and relics from all over the earth! That cried her mother. Throw out the brother suffered just as THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Pola—Recent dispatches from Rome seem to indicate that there is to be yet another battle front in the great world struggle, which front would stretch from a point where Austria, Italy and Switzerland meet, to the Italian border on the north Adriatic, around the Gulf of Venice, and thence along the coastline of Triest, Istria and Dalmatia to join the lines of Bal- kan soldiers at the rocks of Monten- egro. In connection with the possi- bility of such a situation, the National Geographic Soclety tells the story of Pola, the formidable Austria war port, removed but a few hours steaming ocross the Adriatic from the rich eatern coast cities of Italy. “Pola, the chief naval station and arsena] of the Dual Monarchy and one of the best protected ports in the world, may soon become known wher- ever war correspondence is read as the most vital strategic point on a new, wide-spreading battle front. For Pola is the Heligoland of the Austrians to- ‘ward their Italian neighbors; and, in case of a rupture between these peo- ples, it would be Austria’s most power- ful advanced basce. “Pola lies at the southern apex of the Istrian peninsula, about 53 miles south of Triest. Its almost completely landlocked harbor is one of the finest of Europe, and upon its roomy, well- guarded surface a great fleet could ride safely at anchor. The harbor has an area of three and one-third square miles, while beyond the channel en- trance is a fore-water dominated by the guns of the Brionian Islands. “History begins for this little- known city with its first capture by the Romans in 178 B. C. Pola has been a war port since its appearance in the ancient chronicles. It was once the strongest and wildest of those Is trian pirate retreats, where the rebel- lious spirits of the Roman world-em- pire gathered, and whence they made their raids upon the rich commerce that flowed from every eastern Medi- terranean port to Rome. The Romans destroyed the place. Under the Em- peror Septimius Severus, 193-211 A. it again became an important war- harbor, and its city grew to 50,000 in- habitants. The trade rivals, Venice and Genoa, fought each other for its possession, as it was a key to the freedom of the Adriatic. Destroyed by the Genoese in 1379, it continued under the sovereignty of Venice until|b: 1797, when it fell to Austria upon the dismemberment of the Venetian state. “Pola now numbers about 50,000 people, forty per cent of whom are Italians and the rest largely Serbo- Croats. Besides its preeminence as a naval station, Pola does a considerable commerce, which has been increasing steadily through recent years. Its exports consist of fish, timber, and the quartz sand which is used in the manufacture of Venetian glass. “The city lies at the hud of the Bay of Pola, sheltered and screemed by ruged heights. It is defended by a very extensive and modern system of fortifications, defenses prepared upon a scale fitted to the importance of its harbor. The mountains around it con- cea] powerful batteries that overlook the town and harbor, while the chain of defenstve works is continued to the entrance waters and to the nearby islands. The passage to the bay is guarded by two strong forts. “At Pola are situated the principal dockyards, dry docks, and repair shops of the ‘Austrian navy, together with technical and sclentific Institutions connected with the admiralty. Its arsenals - contain vast naval stores equal to the outfitting of a large fleet. There are large naval and infantry barracks, and several well-equipped hospitals here. If Austria and Italy g0 to war, Pola may become the most interesting. point thmu:hout the basin the<Medi & the bully old earth should have so many dreadful objects on it to collect is what gets me!” “We can never, never do a solitary thing about it,” Alida almost wept, “but endure it, 1 suppose! Nothing can move them!” It was just the other day that Alida and Joshua caught each other survey- ing the inside of the ancestral home with surprise dawning in their eyes. Then he grinned and she laughed. “Would you ever have believed it7” Alida crowed. “When I married and left home I expected to see Lake Lu cerne on that wall to my dying day.” “And when 1 married” Joshua chortled, “I kicked the what-not good- by and thought I wouldn't” have to visit home so very often, end now—" “They took down TLake Lucerne, broke in Alida, “when they decided to cut that doorway through so that your baby and my baby would have a sunny room to play in when they came Visit- ing every day. :And a lot of other pictures went so that they could put up the big photos of the children in the carved wood frames we gave them!” “‘But the what-not!” shouted Jpshua. “First they carted all the junk on it to the attic so that there would be room for the chjldren's playthings and then they put it in a corner of the playroom, where it fills a needed want! And they cleared the vases off the mantles and the trash off the tables so that the children wouldn’t knock them over and break them! Say, this looks like a house now!” “Let’s go find the bables end give ‘em an engraved vote of thanks! said Alida.—Chicago News. OTHER VIEW POINTS SMILE!BEHAPPY! TAKE CASCARETS CHEER UP!

It is surprising that so many Amer- icans should be in Mexico after four vears of revolution, and the re- Deated efforts that have been made to get them to come home. We hvae broken off diplomatic relations with the Mexican capital, and our citizens are subjects to suspicion and more ill will than are other foreigners. Yet, some persist in staying and un.klns chances. Their course seems foolhardy, but they are not necessarily deserving of the severe criticism visited on them int certain quarters—Torrington Reg- ster. No ultimate good could come to the world from a premature termination of the war in Europe, if such a thing were possible. The destruction of life and property and treasure must work its appointed work, terrible as it is. Then will come peace that will, we hope, mean something more than a name. When the time for that peace approaches, the wearied, worn, wrecked nations will gladly turn to the United States for judgment and justice. Until that time, "until they of their own volition ask our good offices, it is our part to be like the ocean that protects us, “cool and si- lent.”—New Haven Register. There are some, who, from care- lessness or deliberate inténtion have failed to abate the nuisances that ex- ist in their festering yards and cel- lars. The board of health intends to See that such persons are located and an example made of them through prosecution unless they promptly see the error of their course. That is ex- actly as it should be, Persistent pres- sure brought to bear upon offenders of this class and prompt punishment for refusal to obey the orders of the board will go far toward solving a problem that could only grow mare offensive and dangerous with con- tinued neglect.—Ansonia Sentinel. The man who has a little garden on which he raises vegetables for his own table is a great asset, but he is too few in number to be of much ac- count in keeping down domestic ex- penses. The average man nowadays wants to sit on_the -veranda after work, read the baseball news or re- cline in the old armchair rather than to take the family spade and root out in the yard. When he does con- descend to become useful he very often does it unwillingly, complaining that as soon as a man who has been raised in the city begins to take an interest in gardening it is a good sign that old age has begun to creep upon him and he wants to potter around where the pottering is good.—~New Haven Her- ald. The haste for city planning in the centers seems to be based upon a mis- apprehension of the relation of traffic to industry. Very wide streets and many of them would no doubt facili- tate the passage of vehicles, but they would increase the difficulty of shop- ping, of doing business, by making the shops further apart. There is a place for city planning, eéven In the business district. But he who scatters the bus- iness district has done about the same sort of service as if he took a depart- ment store, and located its multitude of departments at widely scattered points, on wide streets, over a large area. This might save effort to ve- hicles, but it would impose effort on everybody else, and go a long way toward tearing the labor saving feat- ures represented by the so-called con- gestion of a business center.—Bridge- port Farmer, | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Belgian Relief, Mr. Editor: I have been requested the Connecticut committee of the mmission for Relief in Belgium (comprising the American, Spanish, Italian and Frénch commissions) to aid them in dbringing before our cit- izens their urgent, interesti: very carefully prepared appeal for aid in raising funds to send a shipload of provisions, in the name of our state, through the International Comml:slcn for Relief in Belgium.
