It was dl ferent than anything that had been attempted in the past and it will long linger in the memory of those who witnessed it, whether they were citi- zens or numbered among the thous n ¢ visitors which the city had during the d It was well under- stood when the idea was conceiv that it could be successfully mated, because Norwich ha of not doing things half w proof was more than convincing Of a safe and sane method of ob- serving the Fourth the city has had an excellent example and one which makes it worthy of considering the continuance of it each yea CONTROL NOT MANIFESTED. All may or may not be well with the de facto government in Mexico of which Carranza is at the head. He may possess the contra! which he has claimed but there is little to support it in the conduct of the people of that country during the existing erisl It was following the clash at Carri- za] and while the American troopers were prisoners at Chihushua that a mob was easily raised by the mayor of the city for the destruction of the United States consular office at Tor- reon and on the day when the men of the Tenth cavalry were turned over to the United States officers at the in- ternational bridge between EI Paso and Juarez a raiding and looting party in which soldiers of Carranza | were numbered, attacked the Ameri-| can consulate at Nogales just across the border from the United States city of the same name. It was also during the exchange of notes between the two governments that saflors! from a United States ship were in- vited ashore and held as prisoners, all of which showed the sentiment which was prevailing in more than one sec- tion of the country. It cowld hardly be charged that these outbreaks were directed or even sanctioned by the government, but if Carranza had the power to control his people and especially his soldiers those were instances when it could have been manifested to good advan- tage, but there is no record to show that any restraining influence was ex- erted or that any attempt was made to punish those who had led or par- ticipated in the outbresks. These were all manifestations of 11 will which reflected serlously upon the Carranzai government for regardless of any responsibility the head of the gov- ernment may be charged with in con- nection therewith there is no evidence to show that it used the boasted con- trol to keep them down, which is one of the contentions of this government in connection with all the operations of the bandits. LA i | cer STOPPING THE JOY RIDERS. Recognizing that what is needed is proper legislature and a strict en- forcement thereof in order to discour- age the reckless auto driver, who not only endarngers the lives of every one in his car but all other auto occupants and pedestrians who happen to be on the same highway, and especially to call an abrupt halt on those who are disposed to operate a machine while under the influence of liquor, Massachusetts has put a new law into operation which deals with this class of drivers in a manner which has long been called for. It is of course true that the great majority of those who hold the wheel of a motocrar are not inclined either to recklessness or to driving while in- toxicated, but there are those who are numbered in both classes and a few can do enough harm in a short time to warrant the enactment of legisla- tion which will put a stop to it. Massachusetts has been moved by such affairs which stand out promi- nently in its long list of automobile fatalities to leave no stones unturned in an endeavor to improve this situa- tion and it has provided as a penalty for driving a car while intoxicated a fine of from $20 to $200, or imprison- ment from two weeks to two vears for the first offense, and for a second of- fense a jail sentence of not less than 30 days nor more than two years. It can be appreciated that if this law is enforced, and it should be enforced else it might just as well not have been placed upon the statute books, and a few stiff fines or jail sentences imposed, that it will bring about the reform which is aimed at and which is so much desired. It is a move in behalf of greater safety which is to be commended and public opinion should stand back of every instance where conduct invites enforcement. ery person licensed to drive a car should be informed of the provisions nd held to strict accountability.

It w be folly to continue an unbusines propositio; EDITORIAL NOTES. Those who participated in nd safe cele toda; r We have to read history to know what the spirit of '76 was, but we can form our own judgment on the spirit of '16. All the ex-presidents of the country have assured Mr. Hughes that they will do their best to add another to their list. The man on the corner says: Some men have such wonderful memories that they can recall things that never happened. There are yet too many people who do not realize that Fourth of July tetanus is easy to prevent but ex- tremely difficult to cure. If there was no other way of know- ing it, the number of drownings would furnish conclusive evidence of the fact that summer had arrived. It was a magnificent parade of Nor- wich people, but in view of those who participated it was only what had been anticipated right along. Just as if such had never occurred before, the didn’t know it was loaded fatalities continue to occur with al- together too great frequency. Spain is willing, if not anxious to aid, in the peace move in the Mexi- can crisis. If war comes Spain knows too well what is in store for Mexico. Inasmuch as the progressives are doing the same, King Constantine of Greece will have less reason to worry over the fact that he has had to de- mobilize his army. There were many in the big parade who had a chance to appreciate the fact that they are not on their way to patrol.the Mexican border, some- thing over a thousand miles long. Those German bables who are being put on short milk rations, with vege- tables thrown in to make up for what Is missing,’ have reason to believe that war 18" just what has been claimed for it.

Perhaps they need to be better informed upon the pen- alty, which goes with gun toting and the® indiscriminate discharge of fire: arms i and | “In my next incarnation I hope I shall be endowed with a sort of sixth sense,” sighed Loretta, “that will en- able me to tell whose voice I am list- ening to over the telephone. “That's the coming great invention,” tier brother told her, “i am not sure but what I shall invent it myseif. It sounds casy just a little thing like a telescope that will show the face of the person you're talking to.” “There'd be some way of dodging, even if it was patented,” Loretta said dismally. “There would be people who would talk with their heads under the table or entirely covered with a black cioth, or something.” “What has started these gloomy oughts?” her brother demanded. “If ou confide in me perhaps you will feel etter.” i “Well, first of all,” explained Loretta, “the other day I called you up at the office about that special delivery letter that came for you and a strange vojce answered me. It was that of a man and he said that you were out and that he would enjoy a_little conversation with me. It turned out that the wires were crossed and you weren't out at all, but I should like to know who that man was, particularly as he knows who 1 am, because I asked for you. Every once in a while somebody ihinks it is a joke to call up and not tell who it is. and there is nothing that makes me crosser.” “Ring off when they do that” sug- gested Loretta’s brother. “Serves them right "I tried that,” Loretta said, ruefully. “Somebody wouldn't tell me who she was and I nearly wore myself out try- ing to guess, and then I hung up.

The story of Ferhad and Shirin is one of the favorite romances of the east. Ferhad was the greatest sculptor of his da: and a great architect. While making| bas-reliefs of his sovereign, Chros 11, and of the latter’s bride, the C tian Shirin (also called Sira) sculptor_fell madly in love with his beautiful model. Chosroes, s legend, promised to bestow on his’ gifted subject provided the lat- ter would cut through the rock of Behistun and divert a stream to the Kermanshah plain. Ferhad undertook the task, but when the work was al- most completed an emissary came from the false king bearing a tragic story of Shirin's death. The sculptor in despair leaped from the rocks and was dashed to death upon the site of his engineering triumph. “In this neighborhood is Sar-i-Puli- zohab, where the Ali Ilahis believe David lived and where a rock-hewn tomb is a place of pilgrimage. This sect, supposed to believe in the suc- cessive reincarnation of the God-head through 1,001 existences, had a re- markable beginning, for it is recorded that Ali, who is held to be their god, rerudiated the worship of his would- be followers and when Abdulla ibn Saba, an_Arab, proclaimed him to be God the disciple and those who joined in protestations of reverence were or- dered cast into a pit where fire was thrown upon them. While the burning brands descended upon th cezalots they cried out in theif agony, ‘Now is the certainty of all certainty that thou art God, for the prophet has said ‘“None but God shall punish with ‘fire.”’ “within another month the soldiers of the czar i1l cease to be afliicted with the greatest insect pests of this ON THE WIRE jof you were €0 sweet to somebody just; now.

Apparently the Germans had divined the presence of a party, or had heard the low voices. For suddenly the line of clay trenches immediately opposite, which had been silent until now, burst into a sheet of white smoke as the Suns were trained on the point where the party stocod. General Hellouin was undisturbed amid the whiz of shells, until two staff officers, urging the risk of his exposed position, induced him and M. Painleve to seek the security of the trench. The start to the trenches had been made at daylight. The route lay through a number of small villages, one of them torn to pleces by a bom- bardment, with only jaged stone walls and chimneys standing gauntly along the road. Long lines of trucks look- ing like “prairie-schooners” stretched for miles along the route and thous- ands of horses and mules and carts were parked at close intervals, all taking some part in this huge task of keeping up the steady supply of food, equipment and ammunition for several milion men. The Argonne forest was entered about 8 o'clock, with General Hellouin leading the way with M. Painleve.

OTHER VIEW POINTS| If the courts should decide that $10,- 000 would be a fair price for a life, with all its promise for the future, think of the bili that could be pre- sented to the authorities of some towns and cities where the adminis- tration now spends money for politics instead of public health. Suppose the courts accepted as con- clusive evidence of public liability such things as these: Polluted water supply. Existence of manure piles and other breeding places of the “ty- phoid fly.” Careless sewage disposal Suppose a town having any of these conditions and having, say, ten ty- pbhoid deaths a year, had to pay $100,- 000 a year for the slaughter of hu- mears. How long do you thing it would take for the public officlals to get busy ?—New Haven Times-Leader. It is considered risht and proper that the nation or state should pay the owners for cattle slaughtered to prevent the spread of disease—partic- ularly hoof and mouth disease. Sup- pose, as a variation of ‘this plan, cities and villages should pay for human lives unnecessarily sacrificed through failure to protect the public heaith. As a general rule typhoid fever is conclusive evidence of criminal neg- lect for which someone should pay a heavy penaity.
