What efforts are going to be made today in behalf of the terminal towns, as well as those through which it runs, to preserve for southeastern Connecticut the trolley service that we now sgeem lkely to lose? What is Norwich going te do? what is Westerly doing? What are Ledyard, Preston and North Ston- ington doing? It is not the time to sit back and leave it to the other fellow. We are confrorited with a situation which needs to be dealt with now. % 1t is time for a full realization ef what the petition for the abandon- ment of the line means. Before the court acts upon that petition it ought to be informed as to-the attitude of the towng which consider this trolley eervice worth preserving. The court cannet be expected to act a# a ming reader. There should be pre- sented to it the fact that sentiment runs contrary to the idea of giving up this service. With the abandonment of this line not only will th be a black eye glven to business houses that seek trade in that direction but € win mean the 'elimination of transporta- tion service for those who are able 16 pay what it s worth but whe may not be able to o®n and operate au- tomoblles. Because econditions are bad now doesn't mean that they wil' Always be so. The proper splrit is being manis tested by the people alofig the Groton & Stonington line where they have shown to the court that there is de- termined opposition to its abandon. ment, even though such is not sought in the petition to the ocourt. They make it plain that they do not intend to let go of the valuable trolley ser- vice, It is only proper that Norwich and the rest of the towns along the line should be equally Interested in their ewn welfare. It will be too late after court ace tlon is taken and the junkman gets the equipment. / HOOVER'S ADVICE. According to the letter, written by Herbert Hoover a year ago - next month to President Wilson, it seems Quite clear that he did not approve the course that was being followed and felt called upon to let the presi- dent know it. Mr. Hoover, while not % member of the peace commission, was the European representative of| the president in economic matters and it is not Improbable that his views in regard to the participation of this country with the other Euro- Peans were given in the line of what Wwas considered his duty. That there Were other communications it is to be presumed, but like this they were wot made public. From what Mr. Hoover had to say in the way of advice, it ‘s plain that be saw the dangers that were in- volved in joining with the European tountries on the different commi sions on which the United States wi to be represented. There was the possibility of having our efferts in- terpreted ag trying to tell Europe what to do or of working for the re- et of the burden of the defeated na- tlons in case of standing out for what was considered only justice.. Mr. Hoover saw where it would mean the dipping into all European problems end becoming involved in those very entanglements from which he ought to keep away, and while he consid- ered It necessary to modify his ad- vice in some respects and saw the wisdom of entering the league the impression that he gained from the situation in Europe simply reinforces the demandg that are now being in- sisted upon in the form of reserva- tlong for safeguarding the United States. Mr. Hoover it is thus shown was thinking along much the same line as many others a year ago, ang he found from experiences In connection with his work in Europe that which caused him to pass his opiniens thus formed along to President Wilson. They bear out what even some of those on the peace commission have maintained. ————— THE ARABIAN KINGDOM. Even before the old ones are set- tled new problems spring up in the near east. It has taken too long al- ready for the adjustment of some of them but the end is not in sight. The partitioning of Turkey has encoun- tered numerous obstacles ang aroused considerable feeling, but it ig only preliminary to dealing with the Arabs, who are ambitious to spread out and take Syria, Mesopotamia and Pales- tine into an Arabian kingdom. When the allies were fighting the Turks they saw the advantage that would be gained through the - ance of the Arabs. They obtained that help and it was understood that would of course be recompense. m thought that the recognitien and suppor® given to the king of Hed- Jaz would compensate, but they find that King Feisal wants to include far than they are inclined to favor. the| |/ “No there ate lots of reasons why I assistance is to find & way of curbing their ambitious in such a way as to limit their authority and cause satis- to exist in those portions of Asia Minor which will 1o ‘longer be uynder Turkish rule. It is a ticklish situation, something llke the Balkans have gone through at previous times. There was sucient to decide as to how contrel sheuld be vested in that region before King Feisal set forth his proposition, but that only 4dds t fuel to the fire of uncertainty, It ealls for ¢lever manoeuvering on the part of all concerned if they are go- ing to prevent the spilling of the beans, ~ TESTING ENFORCEMENT. No one can have been blind to the fesponsibilities that are placed upon the fedéral authorities in the en- forcement of the prohibition act. It has now becu in effect for a couple of months but nardly long enough for the machinery to be set up and work- ing smocthly fur its enforcement. But the longer rrehibition continues the platner it Deccmes that the mere ex- isterice of the law is not sufficlent to prevent the manufacture or sale of intoxicants, Because liquor cannot be obtained 4s easily as it could under old con- ditlons does 1ot force the conclusion upon those who want it that it ean- not be obtained at all, or that they should make the best of the situation anq get along without it."On the con- trary the shutting off of the sale has sent the price sky high. Those who insist upon having it are prepared to peav whatever is demanded and thosei who are wiliing to take a chance at the violaticn of the faw and escape from detection are inclined to go out after the dollars obtainable ' through the illegal traffic, g This is not only a pessibility but just wha! s being done. While it was ance confined to southern states the makirs of whiskey in vielation of the law 1s today being carried on quite generally as is shown by the raids and arrests being made, the s being uncovered and lquor se- curedl. This nét enly displays the inelina- tion to circumvent the law but it demonstrates most conclusively the great amount of work that is going to be required to uphold the law, for, as must be recognised, as long as the prohibition law remains such, it must be enforced. If it is ever shown ‘that it cannot be satisfactorily enforced it| better be takén off the statute books. That test will be underway from now on. i “SAVE MONEY ON MEAT"” WEEK. Next week, from Monday to Satur- day™inélusive an effort is being made by the fair price commission to have the people of the country save money on meat. It is a laudable effort to urge the saving of money whenever possible, whether it is attempted in the purchage of meat or in other ways. But during this ‘period special emphasis is to be: given to the pur- chasing of the inexpensive cuts, those portions which though cheaper are nevertheless highly palatable ‘ and| rich in nutritive value. With such an end in view as chang- ing popular fancy from the higher priced goods retaflers have been en- listed to cooperate, and the commend- able effort is to be made to see that dealers do not attempt to gather in illicit profits just because of any in- creased demand which the people make in response to the money sav- ing idea. It is in fact an educational undertaking with the idea of getting | the people to make an actual personal won't marry you,” stated the girl in the short sleeved black velvet frock. “In the first place you are a bachelor!” “Well, great Scott!” said the hand- someé men whose tie cost at least $3. “I should say I was. What do you take me for—a Mormen”, v “Oh, I don't refer to your being le« gally a bachelor,” the young woman assuréd him . “I mean you are charucteristically‘a bachelor, and when a man is that, no matter how fond of him a girl may be, she has the luxuries bas decided it is best to do without. You see—"" ) “I, don’t sée at all,” complained the gurprised suitor indignantly, “You will when I have finished,” the young woman soothed hitn. “I'm aw- fully fascinated by you, Peter—you know. N6 man Is called a bachelor unless he is Interesting. therwise he is just an unmarried man |that no- body ever pays any attention to. He has to be the sort of man who knows precisely the right thing to say to a girl at the right moment and good looking enough to have the populace note the fact and he has to be spoiled by every one. There never was a 2 year old cherub who was so regularly and religiously spoiled as & bachelor nowadays.” 3 0 -put him amon; “Well, I like this!” said the man with the $5 tie. “I am slowly and re- luctantly gathering that you don't like me a little bit, Hortense. I'm not ¢on- ceited enough to think you should, only I hoped that, becktise you are an an gel, you did manage to entertain that emotion.” “There—you're being one now!" she! told him. “Grieved and martyrized | because somebody is sifiging off key | in the chorus of admiration you are trained to hea I'm flattered, Peter, because you picked e out to propose to. You've certainly had time t0| think it over in all these years.

You've béen a perfect benefac- tor to the human race conversation- ally. Whenever talk dragged and there was nothing more to be said about war or prices or labor or the things every one talks about these: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Believes N. & W. Road Can Be Made to Pay. Mr. Editor: I believe that the Nor- wich and Westerly road under some management can be made to pay; but; it will not pay if money is thrown| away needléssly, For instance, when the road was built a turnout was made at Mathewson’s Mills. . It wag used for some time, then discon- tipued and the rails taken up and rted off. A little less than two years ago, it was decided that a turn- out was needed there and a gang of meén worked a long time putting the rails Hack. 1 heard, at the time, that the cost for that piece of work was $1.500. The turnout was used less than a month then the cars returned to their old schedule and passed on the turnout a few miles below. This is only one instance of the way in which meney was spent nesdlessly. I can give you others. Why was it necessary to huild concreté bridges costing many thousands of dollars on the Norwich and Westerly road le than two years ago? Tha old ones surely could have been made safe for the light (?) traffic which Mr. Per- kins claims passes over them. I claim that it isn’t fair to the pa- trons of the roads which Mr. Perkins wishes to discontinue, to grant his pe- tition. If he cannot run the roads and pay expen™\g it is possible that someone else can; and I thoroughly believe that with a new manager who would be willing to devote his time and attention to the actual needs of the road and its patrons it can| be made to pay. At least it should be given a trial under new manage- test of what has been so persistently claimed-that 18 that good meat can be obtained at reasonable prices if the popular ¢uts are not always in- sisted upon. With everyone working together in this direction a’good demonstration should result. It would be interest- ing if it eould be told just how much is saved during the week, but that of course is out of the question. But there is plenty of need to save when Baitimore savings bank declares that more than a million and & quar- ter Americans, whose preductive days are over, are today dependent upon eothers. This comes about through the unwillingn to save or the fail- ure to recogn the necessity while there is the chanece. There could be no better time for ourtalling needless expenditures against a rainy day than right now, EDITORIAL NOTES.

A PATRON OF THE ROAD. Norwich, March 18, 1920. Less Light From the Gas and Elec- trical Department. Mr. Editor: “Another Citizen” evi. dently a friend of the commission, writes a lengthy epistie to The Bulle- tin, and tries to justify the ridiculous stand which was taken at the city meeting when some sound business questions were asked of the commis- sioners, and then tried to get away under the camoufiage that Mr. Morin might be trylng te sell power to the gas and electrical department. What a poor excuse it is to attribute an ulterior motive to an upright and fair question from a citizen and tax: payer who asks a question of the gas and electric commission, which < in- formation zs sought ought to be made known, becanse if you don't know what it costs to do business, how do you know whether or mot you are making 4 profit? The ecitizens of Norwich want to know what it costs to make electrici- ty, and from the applause which Mr. Morin received at the city meeting it is evident that the meeting was with him and not with the commissioners. They want to wnow what it costs to make electricity under the handicap in which they are working in this out- of-the-way place where our present plant is'located. They are interested to know whether it is cheaper to buy this electricity, and buy every bit of it, than to make it. Regarding the $60,000 expert, would it not be a nice Idea in order to clear up the situation to have the commis- sion publish the exaet amount of money which has been taken out the gas and electrical department by this expert, and also have published in the papers the exact terms of the contract whereby he is enabled to get such funds as have been attributed to him? If we are to have a municipal gas and electrical plant, let us have the business conducted on business prin- ciples; let us know what it costs to buy, and what it costs to sell or what it costs to make power. A thorough investigation by an independent body of men as to the cost to make elec- tricity, and as to the cost of pur- chase would be one of the best things that could be inaugurated at one of our city meetings. ‘What direct questions are asked by & citizen in public meetings it seems to me he is entitled to direct answers, and not a camouflaged answer whén a mattef of such prime importance to the citizens isjup for consideration. BU: KE BUSINESS. Norwich, March 17, 1920. Mormons and Latter Day Saints. Mr. Editor: In reply to the request of M. M. W, Columbia, Conn., the writer submits this explanation con- cerning the difference between the Latter Day Saintg and the Mormons, which he believes will be found sub- stantially correct. Mormon was a compiler of the records inscribed on metal plates and concealed by him many years ago near Palmyra, N.

It includes no new doctrine, nor any- thing, apparently which confiiets with the teachings of the Bible, and it ghould be noticed that the Book of Mormon condemns polygamy. Smith organized the church after the pate tern of the Christian church,as first instituted in Jerusalem, with twelve apostles, prophets, teachers, evange- ists, pastors, etc., and claiming the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, Wisdom, Knowledge, Fiith. Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits, Unknown Tongue and Inter- pretation of Tongues. Smith's .activity and sucsess in gaining converts and followers, | brought persecution on him and his company, so leaving New York state they journeyed west faging continual opposition from the populace —with ever increasing numbers of followers. Finally Smith was slain{in an efl- couriter with a mob, af Brigham Young, one of the aposties, and man of great erergy. was chosen as leader and eventually reached the site of Salt Lake City, Utah, which be- came the home of the Mormons, also called Latter Day 'Salntg, and no- torious as the great center of organ- ized polygamy which ¥Young called “sealing wives.” ! Prior to Smith's death, a prophecy was given stating that Joseph Smith, Jr., then a small child, should be his father’s successor as head of the church, so a miinority of Smith's fol- lowers, relying on this prophecy, re- fused to recognize Young, but with- drew from his company, with = the widow of Joseph Smith and family and finally settled in Lamoni, Iowa. Jo- seph Smith, Jr., many years after- wards became head of the reorganized church of Latter Day Saints, thus ful- filling the prophecy made coneerning him, ¢ This branch of the chureh re- pudiated the Utah church and never taught or practiced polygamy. The present reorfanized church of the Latter Day Saints is very exclu- sive, cheosing to recognize no Chris- tians as such unless received and bap- tized in their creed, claiming for their leaders the succession of the priest-: hood of Aaron, conferred on Joséph Smith by the angel who revealed to him the hidden plates on which were inseribed the records composing the Book of Mormons. They claim exclu~ sive jurisdiction over the despensing of the gospel, recognizing no one as having authority to preach, unless through a call given in their church. This seems to be at variance with Smith’s original teaching, for it is reeorded in their book of doctrine and covenants, which is composed of num- erous revelations and prophecies given by the Holy Spirit to Smith and his co-laborers, that any one who feels a burden and a desire to preach the Gospel of Christ is called of God for this work. Many of these peoplé are active and earnest Christians living in the numerous communities in which they have churches established. The miraculous gift of Tongues with in- terpretation, prophecy and other gifts are believed in and displayed in their assemblies. The Utah church, with the exception of polygamy, claims to be- lieve practically the same as the re- organized church. To the witer, the claims concerning the Book of Mormon is shrouded in mystery, but insofar as the church teaches and preaches the New Testament he rec- ognizes therein the hand of Gog“ 0 Norwich, March 17, 1920, i Aol An Inquiry.

Gams Birds Got No Help :Arcund Mr. Editor: Hundreds of sportsmen in New London county are feeling very bitterly over the lack of protec- tion and help given the game birds of New London county during this most severe winter. Game Commissioner John M. Cramp- ton, has issued a very glowing state- ment that has just been published in the papers of this state. I read this statement with surprise as all my hunting friends that live in the county, are unanimous in the statement that the quall did not pull through this winter and they know of no state help given the birds. One of the local game protectors told me, within a few days, that he had received no orders this winter from the county game yarden to do anything for the birds.

I think that Judge Barnes needs no defense. He is amply able to take ecare of himseif, but when a person rushes into print like my friend, Listener, with & statement and then becomes peeved because somebody takes exception to it, T think he is reasoning poorly. In this morning's paper I notice that he proceeds with a new assumption, that is, my lack of knowledge of Latin, perhaps my knowledge of Latin is sufficient so that I might be able to give him a few lessons and then he would not uge such inappropriate ex pressions. His assumptions as to my belief in prayer and my knowledge of Latin are both erroneous. He starts out with false préemises in both ca es, and the natiiral answer is that he must get a false conclusion as he has in both instances. Mr. Listener, don't get away from your subject. ~ The guestion Is—re- ligion and politics. Religion has no place In politics and never should have any, and the country that tries to run religion and politics together géts nothing but eonfusion and trouble. Religion has its p has politics, and their places solutely indépendeAt of one another. It can't be denied, no matter how pr judiced a person may be, he must ad- mit that plain truth.

Where the gray columns of the Subtreasury in Wall Street stand to- day, in the financial center of the richest country of earth, this great Nation was started without a cent in the treasury and without credit, doubted at home and scorned abroad. Its best visible asset was supplied by the fame and character of the tall man in a simple brown suit of Con- necticut-made cloth, who stood on_the balcony of the hastily improvised Na- tional Capital, solemly bowing to the crowd in the street as it caught up the cry of “Long Live George Wash- ington!” Foreign Powers had shown their contemptuous indifference by not sending one full-fledged Minister to honor the birt hof the republic. So little did even the chosen senators and representatives care for their new honors that congress had to wait for weeks for a quarum, and this neg~ ligence delayed for eight weeks the first inauguration of a President. As Washington kissed the Bible and lifted his grave countenance to the cheering throng in Wall Street, he was faced by problems more complicated than those which had confronted him in the Revolution. Without a work- Ing model before him, the whole ma- chinery of a novel government must be created under his supervision al- most in a day and he had no experi- ence in civil administration. ‘The only uncrowned chief of state in the world. people were puszied to find the proper way of addressing him, The title of “His High Mightiness,” was seriously debated in Congress, but a Pennsylvania ?;rn;n; “ridu:mod the proposal with the jection tfigm. successor might not be~ as high as ‘Washington by a head.

It was necessary for her to get out the playthings to keep brother enter- tained. and after he had gone it was @ case of putting them away again. While engaged (in that task she ob served to her grandmother, “Wouldn't you think some people wuuld kné enough to keep their children a home?” Reason Enough, Randolph had been to SBunday school and had been unusually attentive and good during the session.
