In this respe well favored when its electric system are considered hut it suffers seriously in ¢ arison with others when the hizhways of travel are considered. railronds Expression is given to this situation in connection with Dolla when the merchants of the city avor to stimulate an increased interest in the trade opportunities which ara here af- forded, by the communication which was received by The Bulleiin from Putnam which by adding to the page advertisement concerning that cvent said: “Fix your punk road from Taft- ville and we will boost Norwich and help to make it a bigger and better city.” That tells its own story. There is nothing of greater importance to a city than good roads. It Is as vital that they should be up to the reguire- ments inside the limits of the town as well as outs and T a criti- cism from those who would use one of the important avenues leading into the city which goes right to the point. It is a bit of good advice which can be fully appreciated by those of Nor- wich who use this highway daily and who will agree with the critic. It does need improvement and so do many others. Good roads should not only be built but they should be maintained. There are other things than bargains which attract and the merchants of Norwich should extend their cooperation to secing that the main highways which radiate in all directions are kept in th k and not the “punk” of cond The Putnam tip should be sufficient. IN BEHALF OF THE MILITIAMEN. A special session of the Connecti- cut general assembly is an unusual thing. The occasions for it are few and far between but Governor Hol- comb has done the proper thing in calling one for the second week in September in order to. take up and extend the right of. vof to the members of the state militia who are 2voters and who are at the present time in the service of the country along the Mexican border. As matters stand at tho present time the militiamen numbering over 2,000 will be deprived of the right to vote at the coming elections unless their term of service is ended and they are sent home before election day. No provision exists in the state law to cover the contingency where soldiers happen to be out of the state on duty at election time and it is to overcome this situation, which for- tunately does not occur very often, that action by the legislature in spe- |large this vear. cial session is required.

Whenever lynchings take place the people of Georgia are mot always re- sponsible. There arc other states where such glaring violations of law are commitred with even greater dis- plays of barbarity than take place in Georgla, but it has been shown that that state is not only a hotbed of Jaw- lessness in that respect but it leads all others. In connection with Georgla's dis- regard for the necessity of overcom- ing this blot which at the present time rests upon it, reterence is made was followed by the arrest of a score and a half persons, the removal of the sheriff and the denunciation of lynching by the governor, How those arrested were punished s not indi- cated but without that knowledge it'is apparent that Georgia has not thus far shown as much opposition to lynch- ing as North Carolina has. THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. Tonight the republicans are called upon to assemble in caucus for the purpose of electing delegates to the state, congressional, senatorial and probate conventions. It is not mere- Iy a perfunctory service which they | are asked to render but one of much importance to the state, districts and party. It is even more for it is im- portant to themselves that those who are selected as the candidates for the various offices all the way from con- gressman and governor to judge of probate should be men who are capa- ble of the duties which will devolve upon them if elected, and men of Jjudgment should be selected to see that the best possible men are chosen. Thus it is necessary that the dele- gations should be made up of repre- sentative citizens who can be relied upon to glve the proper attention to the interests of those who will be rep- resented. The caucus should not therefore be slighted. Even though it is but pri- mary actlon, serious _consideration should be given to it. It will be too late to complain after the selections have been made that others should have been chosen. It i3 entirely pos- sible that there will be a_contest but 2 contest is often the bringer of much good if properly conducted. Whether there is a contest or not there should be a large turnout of republicans. In- terest, however, should not be allowed to depend entlrely upon such a fea- ture. AN OVERWORKED ALARM. There is nothing surprising of course Dbout the story which was put into ulation to the effect that Japan {had succeeded in obtaining a grant £ 60,000 acres in Panama, throush | the operations of a Spaniard, for the purpose of establishing a coaling tion for private Japanese interests is in line with many other such tales which have been put forth and it only what was to be expected when the announcement was made follow- Ing the investigation which was set on foot by Secretary Lansig, that the whole matter is a canard, that no such | concession has been made and none is Jikely to be secured. When there is nothing else to arouse interest there are those who rely upon starting a scare of this kind which immediately proves to be a flash In the pan. Their periodical appear- ance might indicate a desire to cre- ate a spirit of distrust between this country and others, with Japan usual- ly involved wifn there foundation in fact It is not reasonable to suppose that Panama would attempt such a thing. It knows too well the attitude of this government upon that very point ether the head of a Latin Ame can republic hes been holding office for a long term or a short period of is little or no years, Some people seem to be anx- to get this country and Japan involved In a question which deals with the upholding of the Monroe e and it will be refreshing if me cver comes when the futility is permanently established. | EDITORIAL NOTES. People around here haven't started to worry even if the price of coal in | Buenos Aires is $40 a ton. No one is heard complaining that we never get the delightful features of the good old summer time. Hughes will never fail to get an au- dience when he declares that we are all workingmen in this country. The man on the corner says: Many g00d resolutions are made when the spirit is strong and the stomach weak. Whatever excuse is offered for the loss of the two Eritish cruisers, it is certain that it cannot be attributed to the Deutschland. From the way in which Russia is distributing its troops, it intends to be represented on the front where the decisive battle is fought. Over in Westville there is trouble over the reported miscount of ballots in the school district. Every such in- stance simply cries out for a greater use of voting machines.

Sleepless nights and rest- less days have resulted and the ques- tions have remained unanswered. Men of ambition sometimes feel themselves cramped in their narrow confines of the smaller city.

To Ithe east, ajong the Lahn extends the Limburg Basin, for three or four miles, and it is probabiy in this plain that the English prisoners are confined. “Onc of the exasperating features of being a prisoner in Limburg must be the recollection to many of the English unfortunates that at this very season of the vear in peace times they were wont to flock to the famous baths of Ems, just 20 miles down the river. Tms was accustomed to entertaining 12,000 visitors during July and August, and the sufferers from pulmonary troubles gathered there from all parts of Turope and the British Icles, “Another interesting town in the vi- cinity of Limburg is Nassau, 17 miles to the west. It was here that the great German statesman, Baron Stein, was born and spent his youth. Stein was largely Instrumental In saving Prussia after Napoleon had imposed the drastic terms of the treaty of Tilsit, for although he had only a short timé before been dismissed by his covereign as ‘a refractory, insolent, obstinate and disobedient official,’ when the critical moment arrived the baron was the preeminently strong fisure to whom Frederick ‘William could turn. “During the middle ages Lim-burg belonged to the Courts of Lahngau, but drink from my water bottle began the “longest” journey I ever wish to make, crawling on hands and knces back to the wood.

If American manufactureres are staggered by the increase of our im- ports, that does not begin to tell the story, of the tariff’s share in it. For the most part purchases abroad, even while the wag goes on, are free trade business pure and simple, Let the records make it clear. For the eleven months ending with last May the increase of our imports, taken as a whole, over the correspond- $215,091,865, the two import figures be- ing period of 1914 before the war was ing $1,952,088,072 and $1,736,399,207. Byt there was an actual loss in our dutiable imports for the eleven months ending with last May as compared with the eleyen months ending with May, 1914, the drop being from $702,- 339.570 to $613,223.526. The increase in els means that if the potato crop of the world were divided equally, there would be enough to give each inhab- itant of the earth about four bushels of potatoes. The value of a single po- tato crop probably much exceeds t of all the gold that the Spanish con- querors took from the Incas. The Most Virtuous of Birds. Storks, according to some ancient writers (they can hardly be called au- thorities) are the most virtuous and domestic of bird e of them, Friar Bartholomew says: “While the female liveth, the male keepeth truly to her n nest. And if a male espy, in any | with him, but he beateh and_ striketh her with his bill, and slayeth her if he may.” The same writer remarks that storks, in their oversea migrations, are crowned or extracted ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT PAIN.
