Just” what effect the sudden resig- nation of Thomas Mott Gsborne from the wardenship of Sing Sing prison is going to have upon the reform which he has so persistently, advocated remains to be seen. There is no doubt that he will continu o be just as thusiastic in his advocacy of it now as he has ever been. It is even pos- sible that the experience which © has had will ke him more so but there is a serious question whether the #ervices which he can render from the putside will be as effective as those which he could perform while in a po- sition to actually put them into opera- tion. He has planted the seed and he has been instrumental in giving 1t early nourishment. He has aroused a wide- spread interest in the cause and it is therefore most unfortunate that he has found it necess: to separate him- self from the office which gave him tch an opportunity to demonstrate that it is the very thing necessary to an end to the old system of re- taliation and brutality to which he refers. The introduction of a reform never brings about all the sympathy that its chief advocate might expect. There is always opposition to be en- countered and it must be expected Through martyrdom it is possible tc win new attention to a cause, put ii rests with the future to show whether Mr. Osborne has secured this by the course which he has taken or whether he would have gained it in greater measure by making the mesz of the handicaps which he was experiencing. WOOD FOR THE FUTURE. While it is thoroughly recognized that there are natural resources in this country which lack the proper development, it is alSo certatn that there are resources where the nolicy of conservation needs © be awplicd. This is particularly true in the case of lumber. Great inroads have been made in the forests of this nation with the one idea of getting the best and letting the rest go to waste. The best of course miy be none too:.good means the exhaustion of the supply and indication that the end is being approached is furnished by the ad- vance in prices. It is even declared ing that of mahogany and the better gradas of spruce and maple are likely to advance so in price that they will become luxuries of construction. « This is not a condition which has attracted attention all of a sudden. It has been gradually approaching. It is a situation which has caused new em- phasis (to be given to the need of overcoming the waste and to the im- portance of reforestation in order to make the most of what we have and to provide for the future. There are of course substitutes for lumber in construction work, but in many in- stances they are utilized where lum- ber would not be and even rnen they have not been put to such extensive use that they have relieved the. de- mand for lumber very greatly. It is a case, as in many other directions, where unless proper regard 1s pald to providing for the years to come, and in keeping the supply up to the de- mand, the shortage is bound to in- crease and prices to advance. GET THE RIGHT MEN. This is the week when the republi- cans of the manw towns in the state are called upon to assemble in caucus a select candidates for representa- es in the next general assembly. It n important duty which confronts em and one which ought not to be | slighted. For that reason there should be a large attendance of the party members at each and every caucus ce the kind of legislature and the aracter of the leislation we get de- pend upon the selection of the best men to handle such responsibilities as are conferred upon those who are seat to Hartford to make our laws. It is because of the lack of interest or the failure on the part of eiector- ate to perform its initial duty of piei~ ing out men who can be relied upon to render faithful service in looking after the interests of their respective towns and at the same time give the proper consideration to the welfare of the state that so much complaint fol- lows regarding inefficient service. The time of course to guard against such mistakes is while they are in danger of being made. Let every town nominate its best men, those who are qualified for the work that devolves upon a represen- tative, those who will give their time and attentlon to the:- business.at hand and those who will be found at their post doing their whole duty to their tituents without fear or favor and 1o ' fear_But what the cism about the kind of sentation a town gets will awin- nd disappear. The success of lawmaking as well as government de- pends upon getting the right men. WHAT HUGHES WILL DO. At time when ‘this country is deeply interested in the development of foreizn markets, in reaching out in- to foreign fields and lending encour- agement to enterprises which will ben- efit this nation through increased bus- iness transactions, it is rather discon- g to note that Charles W. Eliot those who have shown looks upon such enterprise as wandering citizens, miners and commercial adventu who must look, out, for, themselves and who are not. entitled to_the encou agement and. brotection “of , thetr own'f nation. In setting forth the record of the administration Mr. Eiiot finds at its policy is “No intervention by e of arms to protect on foreign 1 American commercial and manu- facturing adventurers, who, of their own free will have Invested their sked their lives under alien and this policy he sup- this kind of a policy Hughes has declared his He consid 'The ade- e protection of American citizens ir interests akroad according t Tights under international ‘the corner stone of a policy to promote American enterprise through- out the world”, And he maintains that a self respecting policy of ‘that kind worthy of the American name, maintaining American honor, assuring the known rights of American cit#ens is absolutely necessary, and it does not mean war. As to what he will do in the fur- therance of such a policy he says we will not meddle with things which do not concern us, we will not merely talk about rights of small states but we will observe them, and at all events the lives and property of American citizens will be protected. That is a statement which has the proper ring of Americanism. EDITCRIAL NOTES. With new cabinete in Greece and Japan it remains to be seen which will last the longer. Germany ‘makes it evident that it will never admit that, Great Britain is mistress 9f the sea. It begins to look as if the president was losing his pride when he talks about fighting in a just cause. Captain Rose of the U-53 has a bet- ter batting average thus far than any of the stars in the world’s series.

Hugh even admitted after the first evening that it would be a shame for her to miss a chance to make a good match and he suggested having one of the most promising young men in his office come up to dinner. “In the morning I called up this George Harris, saying that we wished him to meet our charming young cous- in. “Yowre awfully kind,' he said in an embarrassed way, ‘but well, you see, Mrs. Hadsall, I—I really don't do any- thing in the society line. Of course it would be a pleasure to meet any rel- ative of yours and Mr. Hadsall, but it Al “:On, Mr. Harris, don't think of coming if it isn't perfectly convenient,’ I interrupted, crisply, and before he could say a word I murmured a cold good-by and hung up the receiver “When Hugh came home that night he remarked with a grin that he fear- ed I should have to look beyond George Harris for a parti for Ethel. “‘It was vou, Hugh,’ I replied, in- dignantly, “hat wished young Harris to dine with us.’ “Yes, 1 believe that I did say some- thing about it last night, but 'you see then, my dear, T didn’t know he was married.’ “<Married!” T echoed. “Yes, but it wasn’t announced un- til today after you invited him to din- ner. 1 happenéd to be near when he was talking to you, and when he look- ed up from the phone and saw me he turned as red as a sunset. He said he feared I must think him most un- gracious, but that it wouldn't be ex- actly right for him to call on a young lady—that—that—well, the fact was he had a wife. Of course, I was as- tonished and he explained that the marriage w secret, because his wife'’s mother had very strict ideas about the amount that young people should marry on, so they were wait- ing till his salary was raised before he claimed his bride. “Why, , what did you say? “q replied that i s ‘all highly improper and I was greatly displeased THE WAR PRIMER By Naiional Geographic Socioty i The island of Crete — The present revolt in Crete has o red almost on the fourth an: ary of the an- nouncement of the ation to Greec.

But while Corsica has sustain- 12d a ‘comparatively inconsplicuous role in world history, if on~ expects the fact that it was the birthpl poleon, Crete has played a stellar part in human events for more than 4,000 of years. “Oblong in shape, with a length of 160 m nd a width var € to 35 miles, the rugged island lies equidistant from Europe, A , and Africa. . Its northern cost is greatly indented, and while the anchore too shallow for modern steamers in all save one cf its ports, in ancient times many of its 100 flourishing ci- tles of which Homer spoke were res- ularly visited by the light-draft ves- sels of the Phoenicians, the Greeks, d_the Egyptians. “Crete tod: sustains a populaticn of about 556,000, *more than nine- tenths of whom are Christians and the remaining tenth largely OMohamme- dan. Much of its land is ba and stony and the forests of cypress which were once its glory have almost dis- appeared. Its rivers are scarcely more than, mountain torrents, which rush down from snow-clad heights tower- ing more tian 8,000 feet above the sea. “Many of the narrow valleys and a few plains are extremely fertile, how- ever. Fruits of many varieties, es- pecially the orange and lemon, grow luxuriantly, and the olive is one of the most valuable produets of the island, the oil being vsed extensively in the manufacture of soap. The vines of Crete, which were noted in the Middle Ages, have deteriorated somewhat in modern times. Currants are profitably grown, but little grain is raised. The mineral resources of the island may eventually prove to be considerable, but at the present time gypsum, lime, slate, and whetstone constitute the principal output, which is meager. “St. Paul, in his Epistle to Titus prepetuated the indictment that ‘the Cretans are aiways liars’, so it is not astonishing to find in the legends of the island the claim that the supreme god of the Greek world, Zeus, was a native and that he\was nursed by nymphks on the slopes of the famous Mt. Ida. He was even supposed to have been buried at ITukta, near the ancient center of Minoan civilization, Knossus, or Cnossus, an account of whose astonishing culture thousands of years ago has been given in a re- cent hulletin of the National Geo- graphic Society- “The Cretans -were the allles of Mithradates the Great in that Par- thian’s negotiations with Rome, and a few years later the islanders es- poused the cause of Cilician pirates, as a result of which the Roman general Metellus breught them under the yoke of the Eternal City in 66 B.

Then i#t was redeemed by the Byzan- tines. During the Fourth Crusade the island was given to Boniface de Mont- ferrat. He imediatoly sold it to the Venetians (1204), who ruled it for more than 400 years. “One of the most prolonged block- ades in world history was that con- ducted by the Turks from 1645 to 1669, when the last port of the island sur- rendered to Ottoman arms, against whose sway the Cretans were almost constantly . in . reyolt until the. final annexation to Greece. = The island- ers fought sheculder to shoulder with the Creeks-in.the recent Balkan im- brogltos” - y, Sardinia and Cy- | MARRYING OFF ETHEL and wouldn’t stand for it. .

Many letters from Cleveland Demo- crats who voted for President Wilson four years ago, but now repudiate him on his record, are being received by the Hughes National College League. The following from W. S. Gould, 106 Bast 19th Street, New York, is typical of their attitude. “I would like to enroll in the Hughes League. I feel that every man ought to definitely declare him- self in this campaign—a campaign that means much to the future of our country. “I have always been a Democrat— a Cleveland Democrat, however,—but I never followed blindly the dictates of the party managers.

It is only at the active front, well removed from the inaction and pes- simism which poison the outlook from the large cities in Russia, that one is able to form a far estimate of what Russia has accomplished during the past year in transforming a poorly equipped, inadequate munitioned an@ consequently dispirited army into a wosl ordered machine from which ev- ery trace of distorder and inefficien- cy has disappeared. It is at first al- most impossible to realize that the present organization, which compares favorably with that of any army in the field, has been built out of the wreck of last summer's disaster and that the same commanders who were then ooccupied with the difficult task of leading their crippled forces into a position of safety, are now confidently and eagerly speaking of an advance into the territory lost to them in last summer's campaign. A general who took part in the retreat from Warsaw and who comanded one of the divi- sions which heroically strove to delay the German advance, was asked by an Associated Press correspondent to compare the conditions which prevail- ed in the army a year ago with those of today. “There is no_comparison,” answered the general. “Last year we had no ammunition, and we were in no con- dition to *withstand the powerful and well organized offenstve of the enems. Only a small part of my division sur- vived the continuous shel fire of the enemy. But today we are their equals.
