GEORGIA'S PUBLIC STATEMENT. It was not so long age. within a year or two, that the people of Geor- gia, representing to be the better class, insisted that they did not approve the many cases of lynching in that state. They indicated that it was due to & lot of irresponsibies and they recog- nized the impertence of bringing pub- lic sentiment to bear thereon for the sake of restoring the gesd name of the state. 2 From all ndications, however, very litlle suceess has attended tie: fcrts for Geergia is -iiill engaged in tre same deplorable cases of murder and is manifesting an utter regard for law and order. Its disgraceful rep- vtation is baink mainta:ned regardless of the attitule of the Leiter class. The fact of the matter seams to be that though a certain numler are opposed to the lawlessnesr in teir state they have mot brought themselves to the point of openly opposing it and most certainly have not exercised any influence uron those \who aie respon. sible for such a How unwilling they are te sbide by any law other than tha: ef the mob is shows by the recent case where a col- ored man had been accused of shooting a white man wlo was not se- ously hurt.

Washington, D. C. Oct. 13th. Rogers of Massachusetts has an in- teresting matter on the docket, in the request the president and sec- retary of state that the stringent pass- port laws of war-time be extended one vear after the date of peace, to- gether with an appropriation of $730,- 900 to carry on the work for the re- mainder of the presemt year, after which another big ria- tion would be asked for. gers is acting chairman of the foreign affairs committee and stated frankly to the secretary he did not believe American citizens should be hampered in their movement after the close of the war, although he saw no serious objection to extending the time for aliens. More- over he believed the country and con- gress would be of the same opinion. Referring to the matter to a little group of men Rogers afterwards said that personally he should want a pass- port whenever traveling in Burope. He smiled ,broadly in recalling an experi- ence of his own. “I know what it is to be looked upon as a person of doubtful character and be greeted by black looks while the rest of my party zot smiles and deferential bows” said the acting chairman of the foreign af- fairs_committee. It seems some years ago Rogers made a trip to Burope in company with a little party of distin- guished friends. They planned to visit Rusyia and so provided themeelves with passports written by the Rus- Tian consul in New York. It so hap- “What T wanted to say.” began the pretty girl's father. “is that he seems a harmless enough young man to 160k at—in fact, any one without interest- ed.

Then it was discoyered that instead of the name John Jacoh Rogers. the word John was followed by something entirely foreign to the rightful name of the representative of the fifth Massachusetts district. “As a result” said Mr. Rogers” I was held back with black looks, frowns and re- sarded with suspicion, while my com- rades were hustled Off to the next stopping place with much deference. After some parley I was put on parole for 24 hours, then later put on proba- tion for a week. meantime my friends securred around and got in_touch with the American minister to Russia who immediately took a hand in securing my release.

T have heen in Furope many times since. but T never fail to see that my passport fits me to a got and is safe in my pocket.” Straws point to an early vete on the treaty. And by early is meant early in November, after which adjournment will undoubtedly be taken. The last ditcher administration men declare they will kill it if amended or burdened ‘with reservations: the last ditcher op- ponents declare they will kill it if it isn’t. Both sides declare they have the necessary votes. but happily a ompromise is likely to be reached, Stout reservations seem to have the right of way at this moment, but here is the situation today: The treaty cannot pass in its present form: The! Shantung amendment may be accepted. The vote will be so close that it hangs on one ar two votes at the most. Strong reservations are certain. The Shantung amendnient is proving a sort of tyE-of-war game. with two or three wavering senaiors the victims. Some- times one side and sometimes the other seems {o pull with the most force. and which has the strongest grip will he a doubt till time is called Uncle Joe Cannon. serving his 46th vear in congress and 83 vears old summed up in less than a score of wards the objections which it has taken senators hours of nunciation ard much noundinz of desks. fo express. Said he “No man can serve two masters. Havinz sworn undivided allesiance to the Constitution T cannot Aivide it with the leagne of nations which would ponl the intarsste of tha TTnited States with every foreign na- tion.” One by one democratic senaters con- tinue to rise in their seats and in elo- quent speeches urge stout reservations for the treat. Senator Walsh of Mass- achusctts was the last so to do and he more than fuifilied his reputation of Dbeing a brilliant and convincing speak- | er. who can reach the heart of the peo- ple. Hearing him talk on the league, urging such reservations as would pro- tect subject nations from oppression, it was easy o see how speaking campaigns have almost invariably re- sulted in election to whatever office he sought. He knows how to sway his audience and has to & marked desree. the zreat gift of heing dramatic with the added power of seeming en- tirely unconscious that he is exercis- ing that gift. As the first democrat to be elected to the senate from Massachusetts In the past half century, and known to be a zood party man, his attitude on the league has been watched with much interest. Walsh is an Trish catholic and made Shan- tung, the equalization of voters and zuarding Treland against oppression his main topics. In urzing a league which would give subject peoples the right to strive for freedom he talked like a true Trishman pleading the eause and he touched the senate as no other man has done in urging the same reserva- tions. The no applause rule has been strictly enforced lately and was brok- en for the first time when Walsh ceased talking. He had closed with a brilliant and patriotic climas. where- upon the galleries instantly broke inte spontancous applause which was quickly hushed by watchful attend- ants. The vice president pounded hi gavel vigorously and . shouted “Re- move the offender.” When the guards hesitated to eject hundreds of ladies. ! soldiers in uniform and other well meaning persons, the viee president lost his temper and shouted ~Don't stand there and scratch your heads wondering what to de! Put ‘um out. By that time quiet was restored and though no one was ejected hundreds of men and women rose and quietly left the gallery satisfied to suffer the penalty of having paid tribute to the eloguence of the senator from Ma: | sachusetts. Taken all in all the open debate on the league is developing a most remarkable assortment of “phas- es of character” on the part of the! senate and its visitors. Senater Brandegee has made no so. called set spesch, but not a day passe: that he does mot take a telling part in the debate crossing swords _with Hitchcock, Waish of Montana, Swan- son and other out and out administra- tion followers, till the sparks fly. Mr. Brandegee clectrified the senate with his statements concerning Japan's raiiroad expansion in China ‘at the same time sharply criticizing “ the president for refusing to submit to the senate the official reports of the department of commerce along that ine. The vecational education commission is likely to be investigated. It is stated that although it has had $i 000,000, at its disposal and been in existence since July 1818. it has turned out only 33 “finished products” out of | the 270,000 soldiers who have applied. Moreover only 800 of that number of disabled soldiers, or those who were forced to stop in the midst of their education, and so become beneficiaries even been fore the commission. have completed a course and been assigned to working positions, so it is assorted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR “We Are Told That the Junior High School Is a Necessity.” Mr. Editor: In recent issue of the Bulletin; “Citizen” gave us his views| on the tinancial condition and tax rate! ©of our town and pointed out that the Junior high school is not essential for the education of our chiléren and for the best interesis of our town. We have educated our ~children in the| various districts of our town for many years past and in no instance has tae| standard of the graded schools failed 1o meet the nighest standard of any like school in our state. Norwich has always given to its children the opportunity of good schools. We are told under consol dation of schools that many advan-| |tages would be forthcoming to the| |boys and girls in smaller districts. | The answer to this can be plainly {answered by the parents of the child- | dren in those districts. With the| {trial of consolidation for a period of |seven yvears we leave the citizens of ! our town to judge how much better| | educational advantages our children | tax as recommended to meeting on next Tuesday. We are told in the recent issue of {The Bulietin of the crowded condi- {tions in the various schools and the absolute need of increased school- room. yet by the figures as produced by the town school committee no| greater number of children are being | educated today than was under the| former district system and the con- ditions are no worse today than they {have been prior to consolidation and {all during consolidation. We are told {by the advocates of the junior high {school that it would relieve the acad- jemy of its crowded condition and would decrease the cost of the town in the tuition charges,to the academy. This is contradicted by the officials of the academy as their cost is ex- pected 1o be higher instéad of lower. We are told that it will keep many more boys and girls in school longer but this is all supposition and the only thing we have to bear out this assertion is the statement of super- intendent Graham which comes from hearsay and not experience. i Citizen” pointed out the wealthiest city in the state which still remains nder the old district system, Hart- ford, and who is financially able to |try out all the new fads if they could see any advantage in doing so, but ! their educators are more practical, { whese experience has taught them the | { necessity of giving (o the boy the! { fundamentals instead of the fad-isms. | We are told_the crowded conditions {at the West Side school can be re- lieved by sending the seventh and| eighth grades to the junior high| {school as would also the other see- | tions. That means to transport our children from the extreme north, east and west to the center. If we are] going to do this, .transport our ohil- dren from one end of the town to the other why suffer ‘with the crowded | conditions which are enlarged upon in the claim for a junior high school and send some of our children to the ischool buildings which have several | vacant_rooms namely, Laurel Hill, | Falls, Boswell avenue, Taftville, Long | Society and perhaps others, instead of trving to sad@le a burden of three or five hundred thousand doliars on {the over. burdened taxpayer of this town. It matters not how this money is raised it has to be paid for by the people. If the advocate, and I am in- {formed it is the superintendent of schoels, of this, jumior high school | proposition can’ point out frem exper- |ience and not from theory the mec- |essity of such a school 1 am sure the citizens would wAllingly vete any sum necessary but we have had too llong a trial of practical edueation ! which was ably handled by such sup- erintendents as N. L. Bishop, Selomon Miner and others whose practical the town | led . democrats |are getting for the increased cost of ‘the results even disgrace them furth- egardless of the name if it can be shown as necessary. May we hope at the town meeting that the advocate of this school may be able to show us the advantage that an expenditure of this amount of money will do for Norwich children, besides relieving the congested con- ditions in one section. The superin- tendent of schools in Springfield who gave us an explanation in the town hall on this subject, if he is an advo- cate of such a school he failed very much in pointing out the needs of such a school, neither did _he show that the wealthy, city of Springfield contemplates the erection o such. He was only able to bring to us the mes- sage that they had introduced in their schools such courses as we have in our schools, namely manual training. domestic science, etc. May we hope at this meeting for a full and com- plete explanation of the scheme bas- upon knowledge obtained from Something more “than what the other fellow told me.” CITIZEN NO. 2 Norwich, Oct. 11, 1919 The_Police Sergeancy. Mr. Editor: If you can find space| in_your paper. 1 would like to com- meng the writer of the letter who signed himself “Wake Up” in your issue of last Saturday. In this letter, the writer dwelt upon the proper beating administered the in the last town election, and of the better beating that is due ihem a litile later. Our common council has evidently inheriteq some of the dilatory tactics that seme of their better known col- leagues in Washington have been af- flicted with, particularly the past few | vears. i The democrats might as well give up the idea of ever having a ticket in their defeat will be overwhelming. and the results even desgrace them furth- er. : The handling of that police sergeant | question. has made them really and truly comedians. All they lack is the grease, paint and pantaloons. 1 voted for them and am sorry I did so. “WAKE UP. THE SECOND” Norwich, Oct. 13, 1919. The Democratic Spectacie. Mr. Editor: A silly letter appearéd in this monring’s is&ue of The vuiletin, written by one signing himself “Fair| Play” endeavoring to justify the rid- iculous position some meémbers of the democratic council have got them-! selves into. N6ébody carés anything about Who was back of thé movement which created thé office of police ser- geant. Nobody cares how it was done, the matter of fact is that it exists and the only intérest we democrats bave is that the office be filled before it is left to'the repubiican members to fill it. That is but one of u ish positions they got themsel to. Thames stféet has been tied up all summer, the main avenue of en- trance to the city. Some good com- mon sense exercisea at the right time would have cut out this public incon- venience. It is reported on the street that one member of the common council has said that he will resign before he will vote for anybody ex- cept his selection for sergeant. Lot bim resign and get out at once, the quicker the better and let fome others g0 with him. They are no good to the democratic party or the citizens of Norwich. It is t00 bad we do net have a recall 50 some of these mem- bers could be kicked out of the office. They are utterly unfit to conduct city affairs and unfit: to represent the democratic party and it is their duty and their plain duty to attend to it When a few men think they are big- ger than the parly it is time they were taught a lesson and 1 am but one of the thousand that believes that they have made._jokes of themselves and the quicker they come to their senses the better.

Nerwich, Oct. 13, 1919. STORIES OF THE WAR 90,000 Yet to Be Discharged. The office of the assistant to the secretary of war, service and inform- ation branch, in a statement made public today calls attention to the fact that there are over 90,000 officers and men still in the army to be discharg- ed between this date and_October 31. 1919. who will have to be absorbed in civil life. The statement is as fol- lows: “The Operations Division of the General Staff has furnished statistics which show that the total number of men in the army on Sepetmber 1919, was 332,495, The maximum es- timate of the strength of the army on October 31. 1919, is given as 252 906, leaving 79.5589 men to be discharg- ed by that date. “On ‘September 16, 1919, it is shown that there were 31.325 commissioned officers in active service 9148 of whom are regulars and 22,379 tempor- ary. Tnasmuch as recent legislation enacted by congress stipulates that the total commissioned strength of the army shall at no time during the fis- cal vear 1920 exceed 18000 it is ob- viously necessary that 13.525 of these emergency officers be returned to ci il life by October 31, 1919 ‘This means that it will he neces- sary for over 90000 individuais to find emplorment in ecivil Jife. When Colonel Arthur Woods, formerly as- siatant to the secretary of war and| in charge of soldier employment, left the war department he stated that a careful study of reports and available statistics showeds that ahout 30 per cent of the men released from ser- vice wara taken back in their old jobs or eier omes Dy their former em- plovers. This being true it is antici- Tatea that this ofce will have anoth- | er 20,000 men added to those now on its lists as needing employment. Among | these men. especially the officers. will be found exeeutives and technically trained men of all the professions and trades.
