Not for many moons has there been sueh an interest displayed in-a repub- lican caucus as was shown by the num-! ber assembled in the town hall for the selection of delegates to the state, conm- gressional, menatorial and probate con- ventions. It indicated an interest which if it continuwes under a united banner, as of course it should, should mean a rous- g victory in the coming election for the entire ticket. Never before, or not for some time at least, has there been such an outpouring partisans for the preliminary steps But there can be no question s o what the sentiment of the people in Norwich as well as in the other two owns making up the district is. The nzhermg was such that it can safely be considered that the party has spoken in the matter of a choice and attention cannot fail to be given to the gracious manner in which the defeated candidate C ted the verdict and gave assurance enthusiastic support in behalf of the caucus's selection. frequently necessary in an expression of opinion. They do no harm and indicate a healthy terest provided the outcome is accept- the right spirit and unity prevails party action thereafter. That former Mayor Brown has receiv- the indorsement of the majority of republicans desiréus of an opportu- y expressing their views upon such s matter cannot be questioned. It is to te heped and expected that he will get the support of the. district to which he ie entitied when the time comes to cast the ballots. The contest has at least bronght about an awakening in the dis- trict which had not, previously te short while, been forecasted. 2d THE SPECIAL SESSION. When Governor Holéomb takes prompt action in calling a special session of the legislature for next month, following the certification of the ratification of the suffrage amendment to the federal con- stitution, he follows out a promise that he made some time ago. It is quite evi- dent that an emergency exists which cannot be met except by legislative ac- the right to vote extended to Women throughout the country it be- 2omes plain that in states where provis- ioh has not already been made to meet the situation that there must be changes made in state laws which will permit those who are charged with the making, of electors a sufficient time in which to earry out the tas! faced under the chanzed condition: At presént there times when the selectmen of rious towns can make voters. Ac- esrding to the opinion of the attorney general theére would be danger of invali- dating the election and of making select- men who failed to go according to the law liabls to prosecution. Having been given the right to vote by federal law is certainly only righi that such necessary action as is requircd fn the way of state iegislation should be taken in order tha. that right may be exercised at the first ovvortunity. Tae sftuation differs frora the calling of a special session to uct upon the federal amendment and it Jmes evident t the point has been reashed Ir connhect'on with the giving of tiae ¥a%é to women where ‘there can e ‘n> quesion lnt what the reason for the calling o a speeial general assembly session is pro- vided. That the small towns of the state could in the time pttend to the making of voters without a change ‘n the law is likely but in the large towns and emgpecially the cities the impossi- bility of acting upon the many thousand applications that can be ‘anticipated i apparent. The extra session is therefore a necessity and the governor has lost no time in taking the required steps to meet the situation. COAL PRODUCTION COSTS. Whatever drop has been made in the price of coal and whatever is expected in the near future will have to be charged in the opinions of many to the findingt which have been put forth by the federal trade commission relative to the cost of producing coal Thi¢ commission has been studying | sosts and it finds tnat West Virginia mine operators are selling coal at the mine for $3.40 to which there must be afided about $2 for transportation: te Hampton Roads making a ton of coal taken at that point about $5.40, or a fiecided difference between what some users of coal, including the federal ship- ping board, have been forced to pay. It thus appears that the federal com- mission has performed an important ser- viee but such serviee It would seem ought to be constant and not spasmodic. It ought to be so that it would be im- rossible for speculators to charge such exorbitant prices by having such cost prices available at all times for the de- partment of justice to act upon in pro- tecting the consumer. > In getting at the cost of production thé commission requires reports from the opérators. In_fIts latest figutes it re- eéived information from less than 700 opérators or less than a,third of the en-! tire number due to the fact that an ap- peal has been made to the courts to de- términe whether the commission has the [| have pontributed millions ted that what he was saying had been taken from official bulletins of the fe- publicans and distributed by them indulged in a lot of statements by which he may have thought he was tell- ing the country a profound secret and. surprising the people by his revelations but his effort was lost when, he admit- throughout the coumry ih the way of. publicity. ‘The quota ;heet which he had plan- ned as the percussion cap of projec- tile is to be regarded only for what it ‘s Apparently Governor Cox has been maxk- ing record jumos to get at the conclu- sions he desires. Having come into pos- session of a sheet of figures he presents it as proof that sinister influenges to buy the presidency when as a matter o fast,ihe list was only tentative and had never been considered. It can thus be readily uadersiood why Governor Cox desired to o-wesent such vidence to the country during a politi- al speech, instead of or before =ubmit- ting it to the congressional ccmmitice investigating campaign funds. By so doing he of course gets his claims with his so-called proof bhefore .the country without being obliged to actually prove what he has gharged or stand cross cx- amination Even before there has been a refuta- tion by the republicans it is impossible to discover where he has proved any- thing. He yses republican statements and a list of figures and builds his whole revelation about hasty infefences. He had given the country to understand that he was to submit proof but such does not appear. He certainly cannot expect the people to be carried off their feet by any such evidence. His revela- tions show good reason why he was not anxious in the beginning to respond to the oongressional committee’s request for the submission of his evidence. OUR FORESTS. Whatever may be the outcome of the forestry conference held in New Hamp- shire this week there can be no question but what such meetings of those inter- ested in the development and conserva- tion of forests will be greater in num- ber as the years roll by. There are many problems faced at the present time in connection with the timber and paper supply of the country which are due for increased attention. There was a time when the forests of this broad country seemed sufficient to last for an almost endless term of years. The supply seem- ed almost inexhaustible but because of the great inroads which have been made nto it, the slight consideration given to overcoming waste and the inadequate plans for the replacing the denuded territory that we have aWakened all of a sudden to the fact that something must be done and without any wastc of time if the needs ¢f the land are going to be met in a reasonable manner. There is much to be done for the pres- ervation of our forests. There are the many diseases which must be fought and thare is the great destruetion through fire which cannot get any too careful consideration in the way of preventive wrok. There is likewise the attention which must be given to reforestation. To let the forests replace themselves with- out other than nature’s aid will not keep pae¢e with the speed with which tfees are being cut down. These ere all mattefs which must come in for inoreased aitention. We cannot expect to use Up-and Wwaste our forests and still expect to have an un- limited supply with which to fmeet our ever increasing’ needs. The study of the present day conditions, and the problems that must be solved in meetlhig them, needs to be carried on with a full under- standing of what can be expedted unless more ‘attention is given insuring an ‘ade- quate fature timber supply. Conserva- tion and development can well e carried on in connection with our ‘woddlands. EDITORIAL NOTES. In spite of all the talk about eoal tak- ing a drop those who Have their bins filled are smiling oontentedly.

These ore the days when it isn't nec- essary t0 pay the top price for sugar in order to get a pound of the sweet stuff. Governor Cox seems to have gotten badly wrought up over a lot of infor- mation the republicans had alpeady pub- lished. With August nearly gone and the dog. days about over the lovers of hot Wea- ther are wondering when summer i§ go- ing to open.

The experience With the jitneys has been authority to demand the reports. Such reports as have continued to be received have served fo give the commission mueh valuable assistance, and to dem. onstrate that there are other than 6p- erators who have an opportunity t» ern gage in the much opposed profi.seriag. It ¢an thus be appreciated the impor:- ance of having such reports regnarly furnished t9 this government agemcy, costly and enlightening even as was ex- pected.

THE MAN WHO TALKS Starvation is a tertible wntd be the object to 'Meh it human being, a low *‘ a public utility. any m-nm, t ever it be, is' not fed it will die—of starvation And that is exactly what is happening right .efore. our, .¢yes: The trolley system of . Cohnecticut is slowly. starving to death. The trolley is a Worker, and the pegple. . must decide Wwhether the worker is needed. _If it is, then the people ought. to.support it; if not, they are justified in lstting it starve to death. Some people. are. saying . by their lack .of ;patronage, “No, it lsn't wonth feeding.” while others. who do patronize it say, “Yes, it's a.necessity, but we are now, giving it enough to eat.” Now while talkers are talking .and in- vestigators are investigating, one strik- ing fact remains: Because of lack of nourishment 450 miles in the country at large have been abandoned, 608 miles dis- mantled and junked, and 4,803 miles placed under receivers’ management. Before we let the trolleys starve we ought to iook -at the whole question broadly. 1Is it fair treatment to. those who_have built homes in the suburbs, be- lieving that the -trolleys were a fixity? Will the jitneys accommodate these pees ple at the present trolley rates? 1Is it fair to starve the trolleys in view of tl large investment in roadbed and rollin| stock? Are we sure that the jitneys will be a reliable substitute, running all the year, and will add .the same amount. of property to the grand list as the trolleys do? 1In case of aceldent or death will they be able to meet compensation as the Connecticut company- has? To meet the needs of the traveling public has anyone attempted to ‘figure out what will be the wear and tear of our streets? Have we counted in the greatly increased liability to accidents which will-surely come-from greatly increasing the number of jitneys® Will the traveling public be at the mercy of irresponsible persons in fixing -fares? Before we consent to the starvation of the trolleys let us- think twice. This time just one month ugo the re- gion of Sandy Hook was the cynosure of the eyes of two continents. As in formef contests, Sir Thomas Lipton proved him- self an ideal sportsman. There was no ‘whining or whimpering about ill luck of complaining of unfair play on the part of his opponents. This doubtless explains his great popularity- among sporting men at home and abroad. This great interna- tional race seems to have been perféctly straight and -clean throughout, ahd of course we all Tejoice that the prize cup willl remain here” Two things are wor- thy of notice: First, as Sir Thomas said, “The best boat won,” and, secondly, it was the best skipper back of the boat. The old saying is true that it is the man “behind the gun’ that counts. The great- est thing any nation can do is to pro- duce a race of winners. The old maxim, “Make hay while the sun shined” admits of wide application. In these days of large wages—larger than ever before—it is the time for sav- ing. While it costs more to live than ever before, still money has been more plentiful. In this matter we see the' force of natural law. If an unusually large wave comes breaking upon ‘the shore, it is always followed by a corresponding depression. Money bunched up in heaps is the period of inflation, but ‘when the wave breaks ‘and goes back—as it surely | will—then we have deflation, or the pe- riod of financial- stringency. Those who have wasted. in the days of inflation are the first to get into the breadline when deflation comes. - The difference between saving and wasting: i§ clear—when you save, the money invested, if wisely done, goes" to increase the productive wealth of the country and ‘yourself to the extent of the dividends received. - But if foolishly squandered or-put into bogus investments, it impoverishes yourself-and does -not en- rich the counts It is tHe nature of waves to break sooner or later, leaving in their wake bursting. bubbles. There is one thing in tliese days of rare financial opportunity that a man with property, even if 'he is mot a mil- lionaire, is morally bound to do, and that is to make his.moley yieid as much as possible. Of course, safety is the first thing to" be considered “by all ivestors, big as well as small. But that word “safety” is overworked to .thy detriment of the small investor. His fear of losing his money is so great thit it parslyzes Lis judgment. Consequently he stuffs all his earnings into a savings bank under the false assumption that it is the, only. safe place. He has to knuckle down to the paitry and inadequate 4 per cent. that Now there are other places of deposit fully as safe and far, more remunerative than savings! fits that are to accrue—nog any previ- banks. Bonds'and stocks, both preferred and common, in real estate, textiles, some railroads, iron and sfeel, automobiles and. tractors, and some oil companies, are as secure as Savings banks and range from 5 to 8 per cent. interest. Investor, why not give yourself a fairer deal? The functional power of the eye as an asset in education is being more atid more recognized. To visualize ideas tends to fix them in the memory. We are none of us as yet so far removed from the kin- dergarten stage of development that we can exchange whoily the concrete for the abstract mode of teaching. Our leading educators are beginning to sense the great possibilities’ of .the .motion picture by introducing it _into the publc schools for teaching certain subjects. Ta repro- duce on the moving screen the person- ages, costumes, manners, .scenery . and events of the past is the only way to make history real to the boys and girls of today. In this year of the tercen- tenary celebration of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers the pageants that are being staged arc connecting the stirring events of 1620 with the life of today as couid be done in no other way. Let us all learn to see more of the best things! The beautiful story of Nehemiah shows the value of accurate information before starting a project. When the young cup-bearer came to Jerusalem he found the temple ‘and the city generally in a sad_condition. Worse still, thé pessim- istii of the people wis well nigh hopeless: Like a wise young man he gave out no advance information of what he pro- posed to do. But when the people were | sleéping at night he went about the di- lapidated city and made a carefui survey of the wreckage and then eame before the people with an accurate statement of the repairs necessary and the probable expense, they shouted with one accord: “Let us rise up and build” Patriotism, enthusiasm, courdge, mized with an in- telligent mastery o details, usually win out. John N. Willys, manager of the Willys-Overlane and many other auto- mobile cormpanies, who is to be -classed with Henry Ford, H. S. Firestone and Olhéf new types of business geniuses, has ah ériicle in a current magazine on what | cofbtitutes business ability, today.

The eriminal, vile as he mgyv be, com- hits 2. ¢rime agdinst An individual, and in- that way against society. But’socie- ty, when through the mob it lynches a man, eommits a greater crime, for it lynches -the 1aw and the sovereignty of the state. The mob crime is far great- er. in its effect for evil than is the crite for which the criminal was lynched. The mob_spirit feeds on the lust of blood. It creates a spirit of anerchy, and whete- ever men commit the crime of Iynching they are sowing the seeds of dissolu- tion of society and of rottenness at heart of the community in which they live, The natural impulse of every decent man is to do exactly as the mob does When it-lynches aman; but the natural impulse is wrong. Men who give ‘way to such a spirit of immediate revenge make murderers of themselves and plant in the heatts of their children and of the com- munity the spirit of murder. The fear- ful record of homicides throughout the south is but the inevitable outgrowth of the unpunished mob Which has lynch- ed the law and Iynched the sovereignty of the state. Human life is held too cheaply in all parts of this country. The lynching spir- it 18 not confined to the south, but Where- ever it breaks forth it is a ¢rime against civilization, and there can be no regen- eration of society until every member of every mob which lynches a man is punished to the extreme penalty of the law. If counties and states will not do this, theh it will become absolutely in- ‘cumbent upon federal government to see than evervi\ere have the right of trial and of protection under the law until they are punished under the law. It matters not how deep may be the pas- sions stirred by the vileness of the ‘crim- inal, the. lynching of the law cannot be excused on any ground whatver. There are excuses which can be given without number, but the excuses are not equal to the crime. No man can possibly con- sider the criminality which produces most of the lynching but by no means all of it, without feeling that he would be glad to take part in the lynching, but the yielding to that spirit is in itself a crime. The Greeneville (S. C.) News empha- sizes these facts with very great force in a recent editorfal, in Which it said: “About a Week 420, a negro was seized by a mob at Roxboro, N. C., and hur- riedly lynched on the charge of attempt- ed assault 6n a white woman. No op- portunity was given him to clear him- self of the charge. Now, it appears from the testimony of a white man. a con- traclor: for whom the neero was working, thal he was innocent of the charge. At the time the crime was committed. ac- cording to the contractor's published statement. the negro was at work on -his job and didn't get off to go down until three hours later. If that is true, and it seems to be, the mob not only mur- dered a man but it murdered justice. “The North Carolina press and public are seething with the story. The Char- lotte Observer cries out that the honor| of the state is at stake. There is more than that at stake. The honor of the state is besmirched and the majesty of the law trampled upon when even a guilty man is lvnched. In this case juse tice, homor and law were lynched alond with the man. The mob is a quadruple murderer. H “After all. there is no. honor without justice. Honor has been defined as ‘the finest sense of justice that the hu- man mind oan frame.’ And. where the mob ruies, thére is law. In that dis- honored grave whére an innocent mur- dered man lies, honor, justice and law lié also. And the mob murdered them and them there. Will the sovereign staté th Caroliha permit them to remain “We have had & mob in_Gresneville within: the past few days. Perhaps the man they sought was gdilty.of the erime charged. The faoh was gonvinced that he was. 1f 5o, he deserves the fate the mob sought to inflict. But not at the hands of the mob. Killing witiout due process of 1aw is murdet. The honor of the state and the majeSty of the law are at stake in the punishment of the| criminal. If the mob 8éis aside govern- ment and law administering Jjustice hx orderly proce8s, it has done more an worse than kill aman. It has lald vislent murderous hands on hendr, law and jus- tice. “Lynching must be abolished. Meb rule means quadruple murder.” Every official who does not uphold the law as against the mob, even of in do- ing So it becomes necessary to ciose his own life in the protection 6f the &rim- inal, or of shooting iite the meb with bullets, violates his oath of office and becomes ja perjurer and a traitor to his country. Naturally people hold their hands up in horror when in defense of the criminal men in a mob are Killed, but evety man in the rhob is himself a criminal and the very fact that he is a part of the mob indicates his criminality. He is trying to commit murder, and if he insists upon committing murder it is the duty of the state to prevent his do- ing so by all the force at its command. The governor of any State or the sheriff of any county who dGbes fot go to the very limit of protection of the eriminal from mob violence, regardless of how many men in the mob may have to be shot is helping to feed the fires of the mob spirit and thus helping to destroy civilization itself. The News is correct in the position which it takes that the law-abiding men in the community who do not uphold the hands of authorities in their fight against the mob spirit are themdelves responsi- ble for these conditions. It is the duty of law-abiding men to stand With the state and county authotities to the ut- most limit, not that the life of the par- ticular icrminal may be saved; but that the Jaw may be saved from lynching and (:e sovereignty of the state be protect: We are fast developing I this éountry a wild, reckless disregard for human life a spirit of homiélde and murder, which are seriously ehdangering our civ- ilization, and the failure of county or state authorities to prevent the lynching of the law and the lynching of the sov- ercignty of the community by the lynch- ing of a criminal will necessarily compel the federal government, for the safety of civilization and the government itself, to assume the responsibility of prevent- ling lynching and of punishing the lynch- ers. It has long been a wonder that some bill has not been passed in congress look- ing to this end, and when su¢h a bill is passed federal agents and federal grand juries will have to see that every crim- inal is protected and that every member of every mob is punished to the extfeme. Unless we_save this country from the ! mob spirit “which at times lyhchés the innocent. as in the case mentioned by the Greenville News, as well as lynéhing the criminal, we shall see a steady down grade of civilization and a rottenness of society matching the worst that we hear of Russia. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pat Nome But Americans on Guard. Mr. Editor: The above famous order of ‘Washington will be recalled as a politi- cal slogan of years ago amd it shows that whatever may have been General Clinton’s opinion of his antagonists in the Revolutionary army, Washington knew his army full as well, and who he could trust in an emergency.

ENNIS KILLEN Norwich, August Tke of Saecharin. Mr. Bditor: A short time ago there ap- peared in your columns an afticle re- garding the use of saccharin in Soft drinks. This article, particularly the last paragraph, and similar articles, tend to frighten patients who, on account of va- rious conditions, are unable to use sugaf and are allowed to use saccharin to make their food palatable. About thirteen vears ago. to satisty my own mind as to whether or not saccha- rin was harmful, I conducted experi- ments for over a year on human beings and animals, giving in some cases enor- mous amounts of saccharin, and I found absolutely no deleterious effects. Since that time, experiments have been con- ducted by Dr. Solomon and others on a large scale, and no harmful effects have been discovered to follow- the use of saccharin. It is against the law to use saccha- rin in food which is offered for sale, but that it is harmful I most emphatically deny. I have a great many patients who are using it—some of them having| used it constafitly for over twenty| vears. S H B Boston, August 26, 1920. Sunday Morming Talk To Some, Death is Gain. Ready for death! Some one has said something like this about Christ: He made a will, He .gave His spirit back toi God ; His body He gave to Josepr, Zis mother to John, His forgiveness to His enemies, and His preciows saving blood to this earth. Evefything that it is necessary to know the blessed Master tells us. Have you had relatives or friends who died in their sins—loving the world and flesh—with whom you didn't | deal faithtully a8 to thelf souls? If so, there is cause for deep sorrow. For iour neglect we 8hall have to give an taccount and consider what it means to those we negleét. Let us err no more on that line. Be guiltless and not | guilty in these matters. The Kking's business requires haste, for life Is » shadow—here today away tomorrow. They are not working heavenward, it -to - be ‘feared, who are not moving the crowd along with them, or trying thelr best to do it. - Christ says that those who- are “so doing” Whén death cores -8hall have a bisssed assurence. What was. that man doing the last days of his life! On what errand bound when trust. It isn't the dying that is momen- tour, it is the living. Stamp the futufe on the present. The way to make tomerfow happy is to do our whole duty to God and man today. When this one fell he was doing What Christ did, taking the poor by the hand and lifting them up. It hasn't entered into the heart of rhen to conceive of the good things which God has in store for those stifred up to better doing for oOthers by thinking of what God has done for us. Death has no sting fot the good.
