Many and serious are the charges wWhich have been made against agents of the German government in articles published in the New York World and the Providence Journal. They are of a character which it is not to be sup- posed would be made without the well substantiated facts to back them up. This is indicated by the documentary proof which accompanied the recent revelations in the former paper and by the presentation of facts in the case of the latter to the navy depart- ment concerning the propaganda sup- ported by Germany. It is quite natural that this govern- ment should be deeply interested in these revelations if it is not already informed. It may be well enough to overlook the efforts which are made for the creating of sympathy in behalf of Germany and its cause, a right which is not against the interests ana 1aws of this country, but when agents dre maintained by the German zovern- ment for the purpose of influencing affairs in this country it is time that it received the needed attention and action. It is not to be supposed that the sovernment does not possess informa- tion concerning most if not all the cir- cumstances referred to but now that they have been brought to light, if they are as repre: ted and the truth of them is established it would ap- pear to be time to ask for the recall of those who are protected asgainst punishment by this country because of their connection with another gov- ernment, or seck out and call to ac- count those who can be punished here. EX-GOVERNOR SLATON RIGHT. ‘There is an undodgable duty which rests upon the authorities of the state of Georgia in connection with the lynching of Leo M. Frank which should not only be fulfilled, but which should be insisted upon by the law-abiding people of that commonwealth. Tt is a right view which is taken of the affair by ex-Governor Slaton when he declares that “the act was a consum- mate outrage and every man engaged ih the lynching should be hanged, for He is an sassin,” and he gives ex- nression to a sentiment which is need- et for the ending of such conditions in that state when he says: “Any man who approves of this action of the mob is unworthy to be a Georsian. Any man or newspaper which condones this offense ought to be driven out of ‘he state.” No state has any sympathy to waste upon a body of citizens who are re- sponsible for such conditions and the uicker they can be located and pun- shed the greater will be the hope for an improvement in the recognition of aw and order in that state. Georgia has alw had an unenviable record !n the support of lynch law and mob rule. Tt has reached a point where thé >itizenship should rise in a mass and lemand its abolishment. With the ate giving the authorities the proper support or insisting upon the run- ing down of the criminals there will e such an improvement as Georgia W, Russell to his former post as min- ister to San Domingo. In that posi- tion he was a capable officid who thoroughly understood conditions and how to handle them, vet he was sac- rificed that a place might be made for James Sullivan. That was not the only nstance where the same policy was used, but it was the case which brought to light the harmful effects of thus taking care of ‘“deserving democrats.” While that affair served to show up the methods of the former secretary of state and a disregard for the in- terests of the country, the subsequent removal of Minister Sullivan and the return of Mr, Russell to the post in- dicates a change in policy which is wholesome. If the administration has had its eyes opened and the course followed means the abandonment of its former ideas it is well. It comes late, but it shows good sense. HIGH FINANCE AGAIN. The~ interstate commerce commis- sion’s report upon the financial af- fairs of the Rock Island railroad in- dicate that high finance was not con- fined solely to the east. Thin air ap- pears to have surrounded the opera- tions of that system in more instance: than one. The report reveals a series of tremendous losses which show that little consideration was given to the interests of the road or the stockhold- ers. There must have been a flagrant dis- regard for the responsibility which was placed upon the directors of that road. It was another instance where the work was left to a few and their actions were supported by the ma despite the fizzle they were making. It was a case where the many were being sacrificed for the benefit of the few. The respect for the stockholders was inconsiderate and has not only meant a terrific loss of assets in the past but forces a continuance of losses in the future to-make up for the un- businesslike conditions. The recovery must be slow and difficult and the aeeds, but it will not come suntil it .akes some such action. The idea hat it was the duty of that gang to ake Frank out and hang him, or hat it rests with them to administer ice in such a manner must be elled and the time for Georgia to tct is now, It has more than a wrong o right. Tt must change that lawless- ress which has been rampant for so nany vears and all Georgia should ise to the task. SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT. The present democratic administra- ion has had some interesting expe- iences with the distribution of the iosts in the diplomatic service. Moved v the determination to hand out the sdums as rewards for political service hanges were made without regard to cter of the men whose services vere dispensed with and without re- Td to the value of thei~ axp-vience v small owners must pay for the wild and reckless ideas of those in whom their confidence was misplaced. That this to a large extent was done in- tentionally is shown by the publish- ing of misleading reports for which there was no excuse except to cover up crooked dealings. The numerous instances of high finances, with their disastrous results in the recent past, point out the dan- gers as nothing else could. They call more emphatically for directors who direct. There is no place for the dummy director in any corporation. AS WAS EXPECTED. No real surprise can be expressed at the decision of the French prize court which has heard the Dacia case, in holding that the vessel was trans- ferred from the German to the Amer- ican flag for the purpose of escaping the consequences of its proper regis- tration. This iIs only what was indi- cated when the Dacia was loading its cargo for Europe and before it left this country and the decision there- fore is only what was to be expected. If the Dacia was sent forth as a test case it has served its purpose. There has been no further resort to such a plan for the utilizing of Ger- man vessels which have becn tied up in this country for protection during the war and following this decision there is not likely to be. It has been a costly experiment, both as regards the vessel and its cargo, for while two payments have been made upon the latter through the French ambassador in this country the delay thereon offers no inducement to a continuance of such practice. Whatever ideas those who negotiated the Dacia deal may have had they must realize now that it would have heen to their advantage to have been guided by the advice which was ad- vanced sufficiently early to have pre- vented the present situation. It was anticipated that it could not be viewed as a bona fide deal and that is the very position which the French court has taken on the matter. It was an effort to get around the existing cir- cumstances which did not succeed. EDITORIAL NOTES. Hayti has the one satisfaction of not being bothered very much with its ex-presidents. If Greece does get into war it has an opportunity to serve for other than lubricating purposes. The Germans are making drives into Russia just as if they liked the coun- try and the experiences. The man on the corner says: The fellow who has something disagree- able to tell never takes a vacation. There are enough of the excusable automobile accidents without the fre- quent appearance of the inexcusable. No governor but a few months in office ever had a greater duty im- posed upon him than has Governor Harris of Georgia. With the president of China being aglvised to declare himself a monarch, that country may vet find itself in- volved in the war. The fashion hint that beards are coming into style again will be dis- concerting to the safety razor makers but not to Carranza. If those lynching citizens of Geor- gia had termed themselves fiends in- stead of men with a duty it would have better fitted the situation. From the way in which the Balkans are delaying their final decision it might be surmised that they feared their services might be rejected. P ot e ey Freedom of Poland is not getting very much of a boost by the an- nouncement that Archduke Stephen of Austria is to be made king of that province. There has been some freak weather furnished this season, but never was there a summer when the lawns and the park plots profited more from the conditions. The town meeting 1s something ‘which ought never to be neglected. Tt makes little difference what ques- tion or questions are before it, there should be a full attendance and a full expression upon the merits of the mat- ters proposed. prepare it for seed sowing. Hiram, with strength of limb ané sturdy pur- pose, was carly at his work. With bent back he guided the plough over the long furrows, now and then call- ing to the horses in gruff moncione “Hi!—Get-up-thar His face was brown. like leather, from the suns of many years an his hands were bony and hard. Long years ago Hiram had loved a girl and had expected ic marry her. But she had & voice .or song. She had taleat, people told her, and wouid make a fortune on ta- stage. Th longing for a public life, and to be- come famous took possession of her. So when the offer camc she went away to the city to join a travelng troupe, leaving behind the love of a strong’ man. And Hiram had never forgotten. He believed that some day she would come back to him, ard he waited. But the time seerfied iong and he had grown old. When the sun sank in the west Hi- ram left the plough, unhitched the horse, took the milk-puil and did th- evening chores. When all was fin hed he went into. the house and ashed his face and hands, wiping them on the family towel, ready fo- the evening meal. His mother, old ana feeble, bent over the litlle cook stove, but looked up with a smile of welcome as her son ertered. Laucile, his sister, sat in her wheel charr by the dow. She never moved from that chair_except as ker brother lift- ed her and placed her on the bed for the night. - She had becn thus from early_childhood yvet she was cheerfu and bright, the life and joy of the little household.

His love was coming back. She must be weary of the life she was leadinz and would be glad to accept his love and the home that was wait- ing for her. All through the iong week he was thinking—wondering how she would look, if she had grown more beautiful—planning what he should say that would be most per- sua: she needed persuading. It seemed to him that she must listen now, that se must long to get away from the public life she was leading, and the gaze of crowds. To his deli- cate nature it seemed it must hurt her. as it would him. Ile had saved a little money—for her—He could give her a zood home and make her happy, he knew. At last the day arrived and Hiram dressed himself in his best. He stood long before the glass to see that everything was straight. an unusuai thing for him. He stopped and plucked a flower and hid it under his vest; he would give it to her. “Thee’s dressed up marry like Sunday,” town?” “It's all right, mother,” he assured her as he drove away. Hiram was eagerly at the show- house. He took a front seat and waited impatietnly for the curtain to rise. After a time the music began: loud and harsh it was, but he did not know the difference. lis ear had never been trained to music. Soon the curtain rose and .the play began. But she was not there! Where was she? Then he learned that she did not appear till the seccnd scene. At_length the curtain dropped on the first scene and the people loudly applauded. There was a pause, then the music began again and the cur- tain rose. Amid a chorus of applause the Prima Denna came :nto view. The stage was full of men, but the man on the frant seat had eyes only for one being—but—could that be his Mary Ann!—that woman, large and coarse looking? How red her cheeks were! He could see the daubs of paint from where he sat. He had heard that women sometimes painted, but that she should do it! Perhaps they had to when they sang in pub- lic.” Wouldn’t she be glad not to have to do such things, to get away from it, and the coarse men! Surely she miust long to leave it all. A shrill note sounded. She was sing- ing. He watched her but could not understand a word. It seemed to him that she screeched too loudly. This was not the voice he loved. Why didn’t she sing the dear old songs in her own sweet voice? What had changed her so? Then the acting began. Those men —what had they to do with her? They were talking and gesticulating, she was gesticulating, too, and seemed to be in distress, but he could not tell what it was all about. He didn’t know singing in public was like ‘his Suadenly he saw her throw herself jato the arms of one o the men, a man with a bloated face and a bold eve, who loudly planted a kiss on her red lips. A loathing of it all seized him, even of the girl e used to love And she liked it, he coula see that Hiram was glad when the curtain dropped for the last time. Still he sat in a kind of dazed fascination, for they were calling her tack with loud cheers. And she returned with smiles to bow her thanks. And she was glad! How could she enjoy it Her face—how coarse it had become! She iooked directly at bim with no sign of recognition—sh= couldn’t have forgotten! He felt himself recoiling from her and hoped she didn't know him. A feeling of shame crept ove: him that he should be tkere. Hiram rade slowly homeward.

Mr. Editor: What would Norwich do these times if it were not for the automobiles and trolleys that are bringing outsiders into our city to spend thei- money, and to think we havy got citizens opposed to laying out any soney to improve city streets cnd yet advocate spending $5,000 or more on a country road. Is it not better to put our city streets in gcod repair and have the strangers come into our city than to pay socd money to fix country roads for the same strangers to give us the go-by as they certainly will never come down the West Main Street hills but once. It would seem by the way things are going we would need an- other addi‘lon to th> bug house to hold all that are eligible for accommo- dations.

OTHER VIEW POINTS | With a number of jitney operators beginning to realize that they were stampeded into a losing venture, there has been a noticeable falling off in the number of pro-jitney effusions in the journals that take particular pleasure in artacks upon the Connecticut Co.— Bridgeport Stardard. That eavings institutions in the State of Connecticut were never in a more prosperous condition is cleariy shown by returns of the State tax on deposits of savings banks and trust companies having savings departments. The tax for the year ending June 30, 1915, at the rate of one-quarter of one per cent. amounted to $710,755.12, which is a record figure. As the tax rate has been the same during the past ten vears a steady increase in sav- ings deposits s indicated.—Commer- cial Record. Nobody has read the liberal out- put of Becker news, and we venture the guess that everybody who can read has taken it in, can fail to feel sympathy for Governor Whitman. There he stood; he had it in his power to pardon Becker or commute his sentence. It was all up to him. Like a man he stood his ground. He knew the case better, probably than anybody else, and. realizing the man’s guilt, he decided to intervene with the process of the law.—Hartford Courant.

Nature has made the mosquito so c and hac so armed it against extinction, that it can breed with ex- traordinary facility. An empty tin can, thrown carelessly into a backyard, can harbor enough water to breed a cloud of mosquitoes, whose source will be a mystery to the harassed ones re- sponsible for the tin can. A puddie in the back yard—a wagon rut in an unused road or alley, if free from in- terruption for only a few days, can produce mosquitoes. And the worst of it is, that the eggs of the pest can survivk long periods of drought, and will be all ready to bhateh into blood- thirsty winged marauders as soon as a little moisture comes along.
