CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING MAY 1st, 1920 RIDEWALKS, It is of course too late for the pre court of common council to do anything in the way of putting forth any great amount of work in behalf of new side- walks, but there can be no question but what attention should)be directed to ex- amination of walks, the elimination of defects, uneven surfaces and dangerous places in keeping With the resolution in- troduced at this week's session. Norwich sidewalks are better than they were a few years ago in certain parts of the city due to the efforts that were made for improved conditions, but there remaine plenty of opportunity for betterment and in fact the building and maintenance of sidewalis should get at tention each year quite as much the upkeep and repairing of streets. * Side- walks which are permitted to steadily get worse ‘instead of getting the Tequired at tention each year make walking condi- tions next to intolerable and the expense ©f repairing or rebuilding them all the greater, but with such work insisted up- on each year there would not only be lessening of expenditure and the makin: of the path of the pedestrian easier but it would serve to reduce the number of accidents caused by defective wi Good sidewalks are one of the best #sets a city can have and under norm conditions not only the appearance but the value of property would be gre increased in ma ain ny sections if a ce number of new walks could be con- structed each year. As in many oth things there is always that improperly | balanced situation where a sjdewalk is only constructed on one side of a street and the property owners there n made to bear the expense of not only con- structing it and maintaining it for lifetime with the to their successor: cleared in the winter time. such injustices that call for attent and would have to be considered in established plan for new walks should not interfere with the m imance of our walks in a manner will be a credit to the city, the prop they are in front of and the owners. ne burden des but of ing There that THE SUGAR POLICY. Tt is to be expected of course that th attorney general would to get o from under the responsibility for high sugar prices and to seck to re any blame from the administration fc the part it has played therein but wh. he tries to shift it over onto congress'i saying that it failed to act when it w. urged to it is like locking the door after the horse is stolen. The failure to act eame more than six months ago, in fact way along last sum- mer when the equalization board wa: the midst of its duties. It was then tha the board asked the president for the authority to acquire, or requested him to act under the authority he poss nove ed by existing legislation to direct them to ac- At possibl in quire the sugar crop for this year. that time it would have been to have bought it at a price which comparison Wwith that demanded would be looked upon as highly sa tory. But it wasn't done. The president listened to the advice of a member of the tariff commission instead of the su- ®ar board and the result is that while wa were dawdling others acquired what we should have done and in the meantimec there was the fixing of a price for Lou slana sugar which immediately was used as a basis for disposing of the crop of Cuban sugar and we are paying five and six times what sugar used to sell for a pound. When it was apparent that an exten- slon of the sugar board beyond ithe ‘i of January was necessary legisifion w enacted in the form of the McNary bill that changed the duties of the sugar board eonsiderably but it was then im- possible for it to acquire sugar under any such advantageous figures as could have been dome months previously. It was in fact not directed to acquire sugar but given the authority if deemed ‘advi able. It was of course evident that the watchful waiting policy as applied to sugar had made us lose our advant. and it is that which has put us wherc we are today with sugar anywhere from 28 to 32 cents a pound. tod e SRS ORI LARKIN'S CONVICTION. Since the radical demonstrations made in this country have called forth the at- tention of the authorities for the sup- pression of those who have been working in violation of the laws of the country a number of leaders have been presented for trial in New York under the charge of criminal anarchy. It has been found that sufficient law and evidence w: possessed to bring them to the bar of Justics and secure a conviction. The latest of these cases was that against James Larkin an agitator of in- ternational reputation, who conducted his own case and who seemed to carry tl idea that he could defy the court with impunity as much as he could the laws of the country. Larkin apparently basks in the light of the belief that he is mak- ing & martyr of himself for following th: imposition of the maximum sentence he maintained that he was going to pris for a principle which even the possibil; of death wouldn't make him give up. Like a lot of others Larkin harbors the idea that he is not obliged to re spect the laws of this country, that he can do as he pleases and that in so dof he is serving to carry out the purpose of a certain element bent upon mal trouble. There has been no attempt made to force Larkin or any others to think otherwise than suits his fancy. But BBen he labors under the jdea that he ng violation ghereof and work for the up- | pear can. disregard the laws, commit acts in’ setting of the governfnent just because he. thinks his. principles are superiop 'to'|" the will of the majority he must expect that he is going to get the penalty of the law. His conviction and sentence are in the Interest of law and order and organized government. There is.no,martyrdom in- volved in his actions. The treatment of Larkin is no different than others who do the same things should and nfust ex- pect. Larkin’s principles are mo differ- ent than others have held. There are those who think they should not be*sur- rounded by.any restrictigns whatsoever, but the number is small and can make little prosress except among the radical, narrow minded element.
