It would have been a magnificent thing if Liberty Bond day gould have been devoted to the celebrafon of the accomplishmgnt of the task of raisi the five billion dollar loan that the government is raising. There are some few communities where the quota has begn raised where such can be done but for the most part it will have to be devoted to the purpose for which it was set apart, namely, the arousing of a deeper interest in the necessity of each and every one doing fnis part that the undertaking may We the big success that is desired. Norwich will enter into the spirit of the occasion with full enthusiasm. Its institutions, corperations and individ- uals appreciate the importance of - every onme contributing his assistance. This ‘assistance may be big, where it " can be, or small where there are lim- itations, but whether it is large or small, all should be eager to do their share, that the country may have the money which it needs to prosecute the war and also that they may show by the number who contribute that the people as a body are standing solidly back of the government in the course that it is pursuing. There is much to be done yet before the greatest loan that was ever at- tempted is floated. It is a case where numbers_eount. If everyone who can should take one of the smallest bonds the sum raised would go far beyond the desired point. It is therefore im- portant that each individual should take the matter home to himself, real- ize the obligation that rests upon him ana the privilege that is extended to him and let his patriotism show throush his pocketbook as well as through his speech. What better day i® there for pushing the lcan over the goal line? WHAT WILL WISCONSIN DO? However much La Follette may look upon the course that he has pur- sued in the senate since his recent election as being representative of his constituents, it is known that there is a strong opposition to his policy ,among the people of his state. This has been manifested in speeches and resolutions by leading men of that commonwealth. There has been no chance to get an expression of the whole people through an election at this time, but such seems lkely in view of the regrettable and untimely death of Senator P. U. Husting, who died as the resuit of 2 gun wound're- ceived accidentally at the hands of his brother while they were hunting. Senators La Follette and Husting were on..opposite sides of the fence. The former is classed as a republi- can. The iatter was a democrat and in ali his conduct in the upper house of congress there was nothing but praise for his Americanism and the manner In which he stood for the wel- fare and interests of his country. In is respect he was just the opposite of La Follette whose apparent object has been to obstruct and to give com- fort to_the enemy. g La Follette has been a political vower in Wisconsin. It was his state that desired him for president and his reelection to congress was secured by a big majority. It will be interesting ro note therefore what, if any, par: he attempts to play in coanectfon with the successor to Senator Husting. If Wisconsin stands as solidly back of him, now that he has shown his real colors, as it did before, it can be ex- pected that his candidate will win. If, however, it feels the shame that it should from his conduct La Folletism should be as dead as a doornail and a man of an entirely different stamp chosen to go.to congress. Wisconsin is therefore going to have a chance to approve or disavow La Follette at no distant date. SEIZING GERMAN SUPPLIES. Long before this country entered the war it was known that the representa- tives of Germany In this country were buying up supplies for the kaiser even though it was not plain at the time, in view of the embargo .which England had established, how they were to be gotten to German territory. Then it was figured that Germany was buying for the purpose of keeping the £00ds away from the enemy and it was even claimed later on that the purchases were made with the idea . mind that @aage was not far off and that tiey | terea the war a stop has been.put to would be reeded soon for meeting the requirements in that country it pre. pared for a'revival of its ign bua- iness, Since then it-has been learned how large quantities of such goods were sent to countries adjoining Germany and later put over the line so that for a long period Germany was get- ting the benefit of such supplies.. But through legislation which has Dbeen adopted since this country en- this, yet there exists in this coyntry a vast amount cf goods whith have been resting in warehouses and on plers awaiting transportation. Goods to the value of over two and a half million, held for the imperial German were seized last May, it has become known. Such can be put to mocd use right here, especially since they have increased greatly in value during the wait, and if therc are any more tied up here the govern- ment should take prompt steps to get control of them and turn them to good account. We cannot permit Germany to hoard goods in this country when ths people of this country are being urged to overcome that very thing them- selves. GREATER PRECAUTIONS IN SHIPYARDS. New attention is directed by recent disclosures to the precautions which this country must take in safeguard- s the vessels which it has, those which it has acquired and those which are being built against damage by the agents the enemy, for despite ail that has been done in the way of les- islation to deal with them ‘and the -effortz made to ferret them out and nut them where they can do no harm, they continue to carry on their sly snd_costly work of destruction. When it is shown that two of the German vessels seized by this country in Atlantic ports have been ‘crippled by tools being thrown or so placed n the machinery that serious damage would be done when it was started, it must be realized that cither the guards on those ships which have been un- dergoing repairs were negligent of their duties and permitted enemy agents to get aboard or clse’ there were those among the workmen on such vessels who are more loyval to Germany than they are to this coun- try and have used such opportunities as were presented to them to damage and destroy. e Inasmuch as it is admitted that there are men empioyed in the gov- ernment navy yard who, before th country entered the war, made no se- cret of their faith in Germany's prow- ess, it is natural that suspicion should be thrown in that directicn, whether the destruction to vessels or the fres which have occurred there are under consideration. No one whose loyalty is not firmly established should be permitted to enter the yards, much Jess work there. ‘There is too much at risk to take any .chances in this regaré and the quicker those, people can be segregated and placed where they can do no harm the quicker will it be determined where the trouble lies and a stop put to such plots ard damage. The safety of those trans- ported as well as the cargoes cannct be too carefully looked after. SUGAR SALES. All sorts of schemes and dodges are being worked for the purpose of taking advantage of conditions of the mar- ket, especially where it IS known that a shortage in any particular commod- ity exists. The iatest.in this connec- tion is to be noted in connection with sugar. Frem all indications there ap- pears to be a small amount of sugar, especially in this half of the country cast of the Mississippi. It calls for the practice of economy on the part of al! users and may result in a big curtailment in, the product of the can- dy factories. =~ This country has been sending much sugar to France to relief the short- age there. It is geiting a small amount, comparatively spcaking, from the raw sugar mills but it will be a month or two before the next crop be- comes avaflable. In the meantime economy must be the watchword on sugar. There are those, however, either through foresight or-good fortune who have laid in a stock of sugar. Al- though the price is higher than the food administrator declares it should | be sold for, it is government control which is keeping it from going still higher. But those who have it to sell are determined to get the extra profit in another way, and that is by re- quiring all-purchasers of sugar to buy other articles whether they want them oy not. In view of this condition the food administrator in Massachuseits points cut that while a dealer may refuse to sell, or may limit his sales to cus- tomers, he has no right to demand that a buyer take goods that he doesn’t want in order to get what he does want and he promises to use “the drastic power of the food commission, if necessary, to stop it.” There is no question but what this is a sound view. It is a course that ought to be pursued and the outcome will be watched with interest. EDITORIAL NOTES. Many a valuable lesson in thrift is being taught by the raising of the Liberty loans. * Included henceforth in the list of sure things, befides death and taxes, must be Liberty bonds. The political camouflage appears to have as many uses as that used in connection with military operations.

It is the repetition of experience. The retailers are now bobbing up and claiming that it is the other fellow, and this in spite of Hoover. It is all right to advise the people to keep cool at any suggestion cf a coal famine, but how can they be ex- pected to keep sweet while they face a sugar famine? 7 The strike of the school children in New York shows that they are be- ing guided by older heads who fail to grasp the possible effects of their work in years to come. After what their country has been made to suffer, there is no wonder that the Belgians arrested for smus- gling goods into Germany. fear being sent back home to be charged with treason. * { | Ami 1 the The least figuring there is done on!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ireland and Mr. Cummings. Mr. Editor: Mr. Cummings’ claim that we cannot “show him” is correct, and we are not out on the forlorn hope of showing him anything. We admit the hopelessness of any such task. What we wanted “to do—and wkat Mr. Cummings has nobly assisted us in doing—was to show your read- ers that he is no authority on Irish affairs nor on Irish questions. - Although his letter of today was dated one day ahead, his views lie some centuries back, and have their animus in the spites of a dead past. He expresses no inspiring up-to-date hope for the present and his predic- tions of what will take place after the war—like his parallels of today—af- ford no safe and sane motives, and do not_reflect the general opinion of the irish people of this generation. All Irishmen are not Sinn Feiners today—nor feign sinners. They were not all Fenians in the time ‘of James Stephens, nor were they all Ribbonmen in the year of '98.
