The minds as well as the heaith of the soldiers should be prop- erly looked after and Norwich should do its part. SECOND THE MOTION. From one end of the couniry to the cther there will be a rousing second- ng of the statement made by ex-Pres- ident Roesevelt at a luncheon givan ‘or him and Major Generhl Wood at Kansas City, when he said “If I were thiy minute a member of the United States sermte, I would be ashamed to sit in that body until I found some method of depriving Senator La Fol- lette of his ‘seat in that chamber, which he knows is disgraced by his presence there.” Colonel Rcosevelt might well have included other members af congress in his denunciation, for there are oth- ers who have been and are doins uch more than what should be ex- cted from ioval representatives of the people, but he struck the nail on the head when he declared “Senator .aFollette is at this mcment lovally and officially serving one coumtry— ‘Germany-.' But it is an attitude which is by n0 means mew. It is nmot confined to the present moment for it has pre- vailed for many months. He stands forth as the leader of obatructionists, who, by the way in which he has de- Jayed and opposed legislaticn is for the national welfare, cannot be regarded as doing anything else but playing Into the hands of the enemy. Not only is he a disgrace to the bodv in which he sits but he disgraces his state and the nation of which at one time he aspired to be the lgader. There can be little question but what the emperor of Germany Iis highly pleased with the service which he is rendering him.

At many of the military camps throughout the -country it is found that there are many Wit have not re- sponded to the draft call. Just what the reason is is difficult to teli in all the cases, for it is entirely possible that illness, accident or failure to re- ceive notification may enter into some of the instances, but until that has been determined it will be impossible for them to escape the suspicion that they dre trying to avold the call, that they are shirking their duty and that they are endeavoring tc put onto oth- ers that which they have been called upon.te do. ! Some who failed to report with their contingent have =ince appeared at the éamps but even then the num- her of ‘such slackers is larger than would be expected. While some may not grasp the responsibility which rests upon them, or may not appre- ciate the power of the government vnder the existing situstion, inasmuch as such preparations for war cannot ‘e considérea familiar in this country, it must be appreeiated as soon as it becomes known in the communities where they reside that their position as persistent slackers, whether it has been caused by the activities of the pacifists or by some other equally unscund advice, is going to make their daily existence mighty uncomfortabls even before as well as after they arc sought out and brought individually into camp. Their action is in strong contrast to the attitude of those who could have clalmed exemption but did not because they were unwiiling to give their fellowmen a chance to lcok gpon | them as auitiepx or jcowmrds, even though such might not have been the case.

Now that there ls 2 strike among the shipbuilders at Norfolk, meaning the tieing up of more of the construc- tion work which the country se great- 1y needs, it begins to lcok as if this sort of trouble was becoming con- tagious. Never was there a time when workmen and employers should do their utmost to avold just such in- dustrial stagnation as that which is caused by the stopping of all work in factories or shipyards more than right now. If there are grievances regarding working conditions, if there are dis- putes concerning the wage scale, or if there are differences regarding fore- men- it should be thoroughly under- stood that any or all of these mat- ters can be adjusted without resort to a strike if there but exists the proper disposition upon the part of those involved. There have beeh some interesting cases of late where just such trou- bles have been adjusted through re- sort to arbitration. Out on the Pa- cific coast at San Francisco the iron workers are to go back after slight concessions while the weighzier mat- ters are to be adjusted while they work. A strike at‘'a time like this when the country requires the great- est production means a serious loss. It causesa slowing up In the output which cannot be made up ana it means a loss which the workmen ean- not overcome. The realization of this situation ought to be suficient to give heed to a sober, second thousht be- fore a break occurs. And now of all times it would appear to be a patri- otic duty.

Althcugh there may be other mat- ters which are holding the attention of the people just at this time, the importance of town matters and there- fore the town election. which comes next Monday, ought not to be overlook- ed. Inasmuch as each and every tax- payer and voter is a stockholder in this large corporation, it behooves them to take a stockholder’s interest and to do all that lies within their power to secure for the town the best possible administratlon of its affairs. Such is a duty which rosts upon every vciter. It is not something which should be passed along to the other fellow. There should be a keen and healthy Interest taken by every clector in holding the town govern- ment up to a high standard. The best is what is wanted &nd that is what can be had if those who have the powar to obtain it net onl recog- nize but assume ®heir indf ual re- spansibility. There has been a most commend- able handling of town affairs during the past two years. There has bcen conscientious and faithful service ren- dered by the officials who were select- ed for the work. They have been true to their trust and it now rests for the people of Norwich to further ad- vance the town’s interests by retain- ing them in cffice, and there can be lgle question but what they will be reelected if the republican and in- dependenit voters will but impress up- on themselves the necessity of doing their part. Norwich needs and should want more of the same efficient town zovernment that it has beens receiv- ing. BOOKS FOR THE SOLD!ERS. Throughcut the various states of the nation there is a movement un- derway at the present time for the ralsing of a fund which will mean ire placing of a milllon books at the command of the young men of this country who are going to fight for the rls'!t: and principles for which it stands, and for the making of the world safe for democracy. There is a great deal of hard work which is demanded of the soldiers in the camps, in the trenches and at :ntermediate poin%, but, there will also be many hours of Ifisure which the young mien will be anxious to turn to personal profit through reading. Many sr;going to be deprived of this much chéfished privilege. Others who have not been so keen for it will de- sire to put in some of thelr spare time in thi= manner, and it is but proper that they should be given the oppor- tunity. The help which the people they represent, the ald which those baek at home who are enjoying al’ the privileges which they left and the assistance which those who have no relatives in the army will want te give can be relied upon to respond to the appeal which has been put forth in_this direction. The idea has the approval of the tecretary of war, the governor of the Some " people are sorry that Keren- sky did not marry. They would ltke to see how he would handle that problem.

The more La Follette says, the more the people of his state must be kicking themselves for having con- tributed to his election.

(Manual of Noncommissioned Officers nad Privates, P 2.) T!-ii—'. WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Sosiety. Dvinsk, one of Russid’s strongest fortified cities, which is now practical- Iy on the Russo-German firing line, is described in today’s war geography bulletin, issued by the National Geo- graphic society, which says: . “With a popu’ation of 110,000, in- cluding 30,000 Jews. Dvinsk is a city of prime importz = to Russia, for it virtually controls the: whole vallex of the River Dvina, upon whose Tight bank it is situated, 110 miles (135 miles by the river) south cast of Riga. “Not only is Dvinsk important as a stratezic river point, but as a thriv- ing railway center. It is the junction point for the great arteries of comr merce running from Riga to Smolensk and from #Petrograd.to Vilna. There is also an important raiflway to Libau. Dvinsk is 332 miles by rail southwest of Petrograd. “Dvinsk is an important tural center, enjoving an extensiv trade in flax, hemp, and grain. It is a big timber market, amd its flourish- ing industries before the war includ- ed flour mills, brewerlies. atch and tobacco factories, tamneries, brick and tile works. 2 “In most encvclopedias and mazet- teers the city is listed under its old name of Dunaburg, but in 1893 the Russlan authorities officially declared it to be Dvinsk. “The history of the town dates back to the last quarter of the 13th century when the Livonian Knights of the Sword erected a_castle o the Dvina 12 miles below the site of ‘he pres- ent city. Nearly two centuries later the grand-master of this order found it expedient to msrtgage the strong- hold to Sizismund Augustus. king of “Poland. Ivan the Terrib'> wrested it from the Polish crown in 1576. but it was restored to King Stephen Bathory six years later and he remosved the fort from the Old Castle, as it is still called to the site where the permanent developed. In the succeeding century it was a bone of contention be- tween the Russians and Swedes, just as was the seaport of Riga during the same period. Tn 1772, however, upon the first partition of Poland it became a part of Russia’s spoils. “During Napoleon’s 'Russian cam- paign in 1812 Marshal Oudinot tried in vain to capture the bridge head at Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the £ity was reserved for Macdonald a few weeks later. “Dvinsk has figured conspiciously in the recent history of the development of trade, unions and the counter labor movement represented in the employ- crs’ association in Russia. In January 1905. the masters (employers), aided by the support of the skilled workmen, decided to oppose the demands of the less skilled and unskilled workmen. These Dvinsk employers’ associations included the tailors, = ladies’ tailors, dressmakers, shoemakers, dealers in furnishings, painters, carpentérs, print- ers, photographers, barbers, cab-pro- prietors, carting contracters, tanners, cigarete-makers, paper box manufac- turers, and paint makers. Lockouts put into effect by these various asco- ciatiens resulted in numerous disturb- agricul- ‘When your liver is out of mecessary to good health, They after-effects.

An officer, even though in private life, he may be | your warm friend and associate, is ex- pected not to mingle with you or other men in the ranks on terms of familiar- ity. This is a rule that is often far from agreeable to the officer; but he has no more power to change it than 'you hav® The reason is clear. An officer cannot mingle with the men junder him on familiar termis without {becoming better acquainted and more friendly with some than with others. He immediately lays himself opén to the suspicion of favoritism—a suspi- cion which tends strongly to under- mine respect and aythority. ‘Argument has no ‘blace in the Army. Bven favorable comment on the con- duct or orders of superior officers is entirely out of place. The duty of oi- ficers and men alike is to obey prompt- ly. Hdwever, intelligent suggestions properly made are always welcome. The discipline of the army is .just and impersonal. You will be treated with fairness. Your rights will be re- spected.. On your part you must re- spect the rights and authority confer: red upon others. . As you advance in the service. you will be required to exact strict obed- ience from others. If you become a commissioned officer it wili be your jauty to maintain such relations with the men under you that you can al- ways treat them with absolute and iimpersonal justice. Saluting the Colors. The American flag carried by a reg- iment is known as the “colors.” It is the symbol of the Nation and is treat- ed always with the deepest respect. Arother flag is carried which is the i{symbol of the regiment and is known as the “regimental colors.” It is pro- tected with a devotion second only to | that felt for the national flag itself. Thousands of brave men in previous wars have given up their lives to save the colors of their country and their regiment from the enemy’s hands. As war is now comducted, it is no long- er practicable, as a rule; to carry them into battle and fight under their folds. But they remain the _chief visible signs of the objects for which every soldier is willing to sacrifice himself. It is no wonder that the colors are prized and guarded with devoted care. Ordinarily the colors when not in use arc kept in the office of the col- lonel or in front of his tent. During the day when the weather permits they are displayed unfurled. At night and during rainy weather they are “cased” which means that they are furled and protected by an oilcloth covering. Officers and men passing an uncased color always honor it by saluting. The manner of salute is the same as that tpreviously deseribed. The sams rules of respect are observed by men not in formation when the uncased colors are carried by. The colors are escorted in parades jor on the march in campaigns by a |cotor guard, consisting of two ser- geants who are the color bearers amd ltwo experienced privates seiected by ithe eolonel. The regimental color is always on the left of the national colar. The National Anthem. | Similar rules of respect apply when- ever the “Star-Spanglkd Banner is played. Officers and enlisted men not in formation stand at attention facing toward the music (except at “retreat.” when they face toward the flag). They salute at the first note of the anthem retaining the position of salute until the iast note. Every citizen of the United States whether a civilian or a soldier. should Igive expression of his loyalty and de- votion to his country by showing prop- er marks of respect for the colors and for the national anthem. sWhen in ci- vilian clothes wearing a hat or cap the correct thing to do is to remove it and hold it in the right hand opposite the left shoulder while passing an un- cased color or during the playing of the national anthem. If uncovered, stand at attention. The common habit of rising slowly. standing in & coluching attitude. and sometimes even carrying on conver- sation. when the national anthem is played, is an indication of gross ig- norance or ill brreding. On the other {|hand. the man who stands silent and at attention is not only showing pro; er respect and setting an examp which will have its effect on others but is also cultivating in himself the feeling_of pride and of patriotism which should belong to every citizen of the country. It goes without saying that disre- spect to the Amerjcan flag can not be tolerated. If any such instances come to your attention. you should report them at once to the proper authorities in osder that they may be dealt with in accordance with the law. CANNING —_— Sweet Corn. Now that sweet corn is plentiful. the bulletin today from the National Emergency Food Garden Commis- sion, cooperating with this paper to conserve the food resources, advises the housewife to make a special effort to_can or dry as much as possible.

LETTERS TO THE EDITO} | After Prehibition What? Mr. Editor:—The above is the title of an article written by a physician in ‘Beilevue and published in The New York World of recent date. ‘While it is not my purpose to 4 cuse this question from this partic- ular writer's standpoint, his utier- ances certainly suggest that sooner or later there will be a sequel attached to an action ®o radical as this pro- posed by the advocates of world-wide prohibition. Hence i behooves the intelligent layman to look at this auestion from. other standpoints than the political and social, and it is cer- tainly germain to ask ourselves the question what is to follow. If we read between the lines and note the pernicious activities of the patent medicine vendors as mani- fested by the volumes: of literatur: daily thrown at our doors advising us to take all sorts of dope from nux- | ated steel tablets for stupid people to pale pellets for pink people, and urg- ! ing us to employ a liquid nurse for | the- baby should he chance. to c when his mother was attending a so- cial - function. This suggests to my untutored mind that we are up against a problem equally serious with the drink habit. 1 very much fear that our temperance advocates have never looked on this phase of the question. Certain it however, | that ‘the patent medicing monger is| gnto his job. Perhape however, we may obtain light on- eubject if we consult our old family doctor who, while not posing as a modern scien- tist, certainly gained credit for pos- sessing a goodly ambunt of common | sense, which he distributed impartial- Iy and without stint when he thought his advice was more nesded than his| potions. Such a man was the late Dr. | Kinney, who practiced in Norwich during and many years aftér tae Civil war. Dr. Kinney was coasulted by a soldier returnimg fram three ye: service in the army in 1865, his health badiy shattered. The doctor, after a thorough examination and carefuliy noting his condition, bluntly made the announcement that he was suffering from too much quinine, adding in- cidentally that unless the indiscrim- inate dosing with this and kindred rugs was nét curtalled or discone nued our insane asylums would dou- ble in size within the next half cen- tury. 5 Statistics show that they doubled in htly more than forty vears. This | warning should convince the laity that it is high time to look at both sides of the question and take into account its bearing on the welfare; of humanity. XNow, Mr. Editor, I hold | no_brief from the liquor interests, nor Gid 1 ever cast a vote for licensing the traffic, but if town wide, state! wide or nation wide prohibition)| means opening the door to a far worse evil than the saloom it certainly is time to give a little more considera- | tion to the subject and study the question thoroughly. J i To those of our citizens who thirk that the drug habit is an .inconse Guential matter and of no moment. would auote from ansther old fas ioned, blunt spoken family dector, who practiced in Waterbury about the same time that Dr. Kinney practiced in Ncrwich. I refer.to Dr. A. R, Mor- gan, who in addition to his family practice lectured in one of the med- ical colieges in New York city. At the end of the collese year his last talk to the graduating ¢lass consist- ed largely of good advice, durinz which he always took occasion to say | to the students, “Young man, when | you have éntered practice make it your rule never to prescribe for your- self; a doctor who presribes for him-} seif.*always has a fool for a doctor | and a fool for a patient.” If advice of this kind is necessary to the young graduate in medicine, it eertainly is| of vital importance to the laity, who | are many of them. teo prone to sedlk relief from their iils at the hands of | thé » Pinkhams, the Winslows and| dozens of others of that ilk.
