The business before the speeial town mesting tonight ealls for as large an at- tendance of the taxpayers and voters of the town as can get there. It is not a matter to be disregarded or to be lightly passed over. It is a time when thers should be & full expression by the people of Nor- wich as to whether at this time the con- ditions in this community are such as to warrant the additional increase in salaries of the school teachers over and above what the school board believes should be granted. It is & time for the people of Norwich to determine whether they are going to stand by their school board which, in reaching & decision upon the question has taken into consideration both the needs of the teachers and the position of the taxpayers by giving due thought to the conditions which exist here today, or whether simply one side of the matter is to get attention, the appeal of the teach- ers granted just because it is asked and the effect it will have upon the taxpay- ers and other entirely disregarded. This is not a matter that should be left to a few to decide. Having been referred to the townspeople there should be an expression by as many of those whe are entitled to a voice as can at- tend. 2 It is the opinion of the school board that the proposed increase, the orfe that has been promised by the board, deals Justly with the school teachers. Such an increase will become effective with the opening of the fall term and means in all probability a salary basis that will pever be lowered, however much condi- tiogs may change for the better. It is the purpose of the league of fteaghers to obtain twice as much as the wcheol board believes they should be given. The fingl decision rests with the peo- ple and that decision should be rendered al the town meeting tonight rwich should and must be gevern- od by the conditions which it faces right here at home. EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE. Now that it is established that the taw strike of the railroad men is & faflure conditions will gradually work back toward mormal. but it will be some time getting even to thé point where they Ware when the men left their jobe. The havec that has been wrought in the short time the strike has been un- dhrway is great, and the losses if they cquld be figured would run into large figures. The railreads will be obliged to work for some time to clear up the con- Faation that has been ereated but do as they will there is much business that s lest which can never be made up. Ma- terial which would erdinarily be moved 3¢ raliroads has been transported in sther ways and that fact may mean a sfnstant loss from that very experience. Then there are the losses that have peen experienced by the railroad men who have been thrown out of work be- cause of the unjustified action of their fellow workers, the loss in wages that nas been occasioned by the many thous- and workers in Industries who were shiiged 1o Joal Decause it was impossible for the railroads to haul the raw mater- 1l or to get them sufficient fuel fo keep e wheels revolving and the loss that has bean experienced by the many lines of business because of the inability to get goods, to say mothing of the extra ex- —_— i i2a & owh; 40 o meeth BB t= pense that has been caused, the higher prices and the anxiety and suffering that have followed the threatened short- age of foodstufts. And out of all this troublemaking no Benefit has come and none is likely to come to these who are respensible for it, unless it be that they have been awak- ened to the gross injustice of their ac- tien. It has simply made bad conditions ueh worse and along with the people in @eneral have placed the railroads in a pesition where they are bound to make stronger their pleas for relief action in the way of rates that will be in keep- Ing with the servies rendered.

How long it will last is another question. Just at the present time it is a novel undertaking but it cannot be denied that there are serious inféntions behind it in certain quarters at least. Having been convinced that there is a chance to affect the selling price of clothes, and to per- mit the amount of material to accumu- late so that the demand will net be the excuse offered for the mafntenance of high prices, the wearing of the cheaper clothes should, if continued, cause some relief. Whether it will create greater, trouble in other directions remains to be seen. Along with undertaking there may ‘well go a change in attitude toward high prices in general. Heretofore we have been told that dealers have been forced to place high prices on their goads in or- der to dispose of them, ~that cheaper goods were scorned. If that state of af- fairs still prevails there is a way out of the situatien without making the work- ing man pay several times the former price for overalls and without putting the legitimate clothing dealer on anxious street, and that is by scorning the high priced goods, and by cultivating the sayv- ing habit in whatever line purchases are being made. A good start seems to have been made in this direction by the overalls and cal- ico movement. 1f that is continued. and extended to other things as well, it will indieate that the people have gone to the limit of their endurance and instead of insisting upon chasing the high prices in the vicious spiral they have turned about and intend to bring prices down by other tactics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Danger Points For Taxpayers to Know, Mr. Editor: Theé following points should be realized by the taxpayers: 1—A league of teachers to do business as a unit. 2—Taking in their hands the power confided in the school board by the town. 3—A demand contrary to their po- sitions as teachers as they kmew and agreed to the seale of ‘wages when they took the position. 4—A demand not warranted with the' high cost of living. 5—Our schools need higher standard, consolidation has proved a dismal fail- ure. 6—Money raised by taxes comes from the taxpayer. i 7—Are you & taxpaver Who pays rent?

Although Polk's administration added waiting diplomats are still waiting to function as they have been for the past seven months—for lack of recognition, is again bringing to life the presidential disibility resolution. = Congress has given mmch thought to the question of teaching the aliens and is now turning its attenlion to teaching the American children. Representative Fess, iof Ohio, chairman of the house committes on education and hiinself a formed collega president, is Working with great zeal to bring the importance of the matte” to public attention and se. cure congressional action. In a recent address in the house Mr. Tess said the statements of New Englahd officials showed that section of the country was not good, but, still was better than in other sections. He’ referred to the fact that Connecticut's narmal school enroll- ment had shrunk fifty per cent. in two years, and that Massachusetts had form- ed a commission to look into the matter in that state. He called attention to the fact that In less #hickly. settled portions of the country -conditions- were far worse, and added that he got his in- formation from state superintendents of schools and not from hearsay or second hand evidence. “And,” said Mr. Fess, “T have received Information direct from every state superintendent in the United States.” He added that'the reports from New England were about as good as any he had received yet, called attention to the fact that in Connectieut—which make a comparatively good showing—the state superintendent wrote, “No schools are without teachers except from casual va- cancies. Seventy-two per cent of the teachers are either college or normal graduates. Th fnost disturbing part of the outleok for the future is the en- rollment in the normal school It has shrunk 50 per cent in two years” Mr. Fess pointed out that with 13,000 schools in the country already closed on account of teacher shertage, and the shrinkage In normal school attendance spelled a disastrous dearth of teachers in the mear future unless some decisive steps were taken to remedy the situation. “Are you going to wear 'em?" is the popular inquiry these days.

Why? Our deed to that immense territory is much the same as our title to all the rest of our country which was taken from the Indians on the fundamental principle that land rightly belongs to those who can and will use it. What American today would wish that our settlers in Texas had been left at the mercy of Mexico, or wish that Cali- fornia, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming still remained a huge, undeveloped, sem- ibarbarous wedge of Mexican terrifory Dbetween us and the western eccan? Nevertheless, qualms of consclence over that conquest continue to disturb us. And this is a wholesome symptom of national scruples. Even if the ef- fect seems good, the motive was mad. For Pblk was put into the presidency solely because he could be relied on to push_the boundaries of slavery to the Rio Grande. The new president really wént into the White House with two land claims to press. Besides Texas there was Ore- gon (including Washington), which was then our only foathold on the Pacific and which we were occupying jointly with the British. The American claim in that unsurveyed region took in what is now the coast of British Columbia, clear to Alaska, and the conflicting Brit- ish claim ran down as far as Portland and the Columbia River. Polk at once offered to compromise, but was rebuffed by the British Min, ister. Thereupon he withdrew is effer, and the American demanded every- thing, the parallel of latitude to which they claimed being popularly expressed in the alliterative phrase. “Fifty-four, forty, or fight!” But when we found our hands full with Mexico, the Polk administration and the British govern- ment_agreed on the compromise which the President had first proposed and the forty-ninth parallel became the di- viding line. Although eongress and Tyler had hur- riedly completed our part in the #nnex- ation of Texas, the very day before Polk's inauguration, and Mexico really had renounced the Lons Star state, the beundary still was open to question. The new administration propmptly ordered General Zachary Taylor to march to that river with Instructions to regard as in- vaders any Mexican troops on this side of it. After a2 year of challenging by us, a Mexican ganeral took up our ehallenge and a skirmish occurred. Thereupon, at Polk’s request. Congress declared that war existed “by the aet of Mexieo." It was not much of a war as war ge. But few military campaigns have been richer in booty. Goneral * Taylor had only 5,000 and 6000 men in the most decisive engagements.
