In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnama and Danielson to over 1,100, and in all of these places i is considered the local daily. &ltern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and -ixty- five postoffice districts, and rural free delivery routes.

The dye situation is one which has given not only the manufacturers but the authorities at Washington much concern because it is to them “that frequent and persistent appeals have been made in order to obtain relief and to remove the dependence which has been placed upon Europe in the past and must be in the future un- less something in the way of protec- tion is afforded. ‘With the idea of getting the cold hard facts in the case and to make sure that the entire situation is fully understood Dr. T. H. Norton was named by the federal authorities to make a thorough investigation of the dye industry and this he has been en- gaged in for the past year. It is llluminating after this lengthy search that the federal agent should arrive at a conclusion which if adopt- ed will insure the solution of the dif- ficulty. That is what was wanted and that is what he was supposed to find, and. after twelve months’ dig- ging into the intricacies of this prob- lemn Le comes forth with the state- ment that he sees a great industry developing in this country, the per- manency of which “is simply a matter of an adequate measure of statutory protection against unfair competition on the part of the foreign rivals.” This is simply a substantiation of ‘what has been maintained right along. ‘There is a demand for this industry in this country. The manufacturers of the United States should be inde- pendent of Europe in this respect. Capital is prepared to make them so, but it is impossible to accomplish it unless proper protection is given. It remains now to be seen whether the edministration will accept the advice of its own agent. 1905, sverage....... RESPONSIBILITY OF CONSULS. Those who may have felt that this country was showing partiality when it recalled Consul Gaffney from his post at Munich because of a protéest from Great Britain to the effect that he was displaying pro-German ten- dencies despite the fact that he was the representative of this neutral na- tion and as such looking after the in- terests of certain of the belligerents, must fecognize now that this govern- ment by the shifting of Consul Hig- gins from Stuttgart to another post, because he had become persona non grata to the Germans through his pro-ally utterances, has demonstrated its determination to have both sides treated fairly by its consular repre- sentatives, It ought to be understood by those in the consular service that the pro- per performance of their duties im- poses upon them the obligation of re- fraining from displaying their per- sonal likes and dislikes to those na- tions engaged in the war. But when they overstep the bounds it must be expected that they will be called to task and under such circumstances there is nothing to be done but to re- - call them, however efficient they may have been in the administration of their office. Actions which give cause for complaint display a weak- ness which cannot be overlooked un- der the circumstances. It is but nat- ura] that protests should be made and it is to be expected that this country will give heed to them whichever country is interested. It is unques- tionably no easy place in which many of the consuls find themselves under ‘war conditions but they should either measure up to the job or understand that someone else will relieve them. GUARDIANS OF THE COAST. From the service which has been rendered to those who are directing the war for the nations of Europe by the aero and seaplanes there can,be no doubt but what Admiral Peary is advocating a sensible scheme when he urges the establishment of a picket line of coastal aeroplanes for peace 4nd war duty on the shores of the United States. The idea is to have a eontinuous line of seaplanes or flying 50 miles or more off shore and 000 fest or more in the air, around our entire coasts from Eastport, Me., to Brownsville, Tex., and from San Dilego, Cal, to Caps Flattery, Wash., each machine - traveling back and forth over its section or beat like a winged sentinel. ‘The importance of the aeroplane has heen clearly demonstrated. It is & very necessary part of every army and navy and as such a plan is being urged it is not to be forgotten that this country sadly needs a much larger equipment in’this respect, and it is to be remembered that the flying machine is capable of rendering just sive coastlines it must be C that the part which the Mu chine is able to play -hould neglected. e e WHAT W’I.l.

The water was too hot, the soap too slippery and he finished his toilet in a restrainéd rage. “Now remember,” he told his wife as they neared the Ballwhacks' house, “I've come to this dinner only to please you and I want it understood that we're to get away early! When I say early I mean by my watch and not yours! You're to make some excuse !or leaving. Tell them that you've got to get home to spray the canary bird’s throat before it goes to sleep— or something!"” “Yes, dear,” Nowhere in private affairs would an untried man be put at the head of a great and important business, dis- placing one experienced, of proved capacity, undoubtedly the best quali- fled man in the world for the place. But nobody assumes that the presi- dent Is going ‘to be guided by such considerations. On the contrary, it appears to be the universal belief that the controlling motive with him is the purpose to secure for a democfat the place and the emolument hitherto en- joved by a republican. In such an appointment the political patronage- mongers and spoilsmen would see a shining triumph for the old system, a backsliding over which they would rejoice.” It remains to be seen whether Mr. ‘Wilson has the courage to stand for qualifications and experience with a presidential election coming on.

Odessa has only recently passed its 100th year, yet, at the out- break of the war, it was ranked by but three other cities in the Empire for size and commercial importance— Petrograd, Moscow and Warsaw. A few huts of mud and reeds and a Turkish fort were all that marked the site, when Catherine the Great com- manded a city here. In 1802, eight years after its foundation, it numbered 9,000 Greeks, Italians, Russians and Albanians. It enjoyed, however, un- vsual Imperial patronage for strate- gical reasons; even the Emperor Paul, who delighted to' make vain all that owed its title to his mother, contained her favor to the young town. A statue of Catherine, the Tsarina, represented trampling the Turkish flag under foot, stands on one of the finest squares. Today, the city, wealthy and import- lnt among world ports, houses more than half a million people. “The city lles on a semi-circular bay, about the mouths of the great Russian rivers, Dniester and Dnieper. It is 1017 mlle- south-southwest from Moscow by_rail and 610 miles south from Kief.” Var- na, the nearest Bulgarian port and one recently bombareded by the Russians, lies 290 miles across the Black Sea to the southwest. “Odessa is builded in the midst of a dreary steppe. It is regularly laid out in broad streets, faced with sub- stantial modern buildings, and wears its comercial prosperity patent to the ost casual visitor.
