In the interest of good roads, Norwich has reason to let itself be heard at the severa] hearings which are t6 ba held by the legislative committees at Hartford relative to improvements which are sought for this part of the state. Norwich is eoncerned about those high- ways which through their improvement will net only put it nearer (o and in closer touch With the surrounding towns but which will furnish more direct con- nection with the large centérs of the state. The direct road to Hartford. frem this city is by way of Colchester. It is miles nearer than by any other route but it is seldom if ever used because the roads are g0 much bettet in other direc- tions. The longer way ig used becausé| Well as commercial purposes. it is easier. But with the complétion of Tt has how gotten to the point where the improved road between Colchester and Hartford there will remain only the bettering of the stfotch between Colches. ter and Fitchville in order to furnish & girect road between the two cities, and as soon as the North Stoningion cone tract is finished there will be not only & diréet but an attractive highway between Hartford and southern Rhode Island poihts by way of this eity. With efforts being made to keep the appropriations at the present session of (he legislature within bounds theéré is ne telling how much roadbuilding will be authorizéd. 'The calls for ~betterments aré coming from all directions and the action when it comés will doubtless he based upbn the need wiich is shewn to exist for the improvements sought. For that reason Norwich and this part of the state will be wise if it expresses itself in no uncirtain terms by satting forth the situation and the needs in sun- port of the petitions that have been pre- sonted. We have reason to believe that our renfesentatives ih both houses will do their part but it is nevertheless well to lat it be understood that they not only represent but have the enthusiastic sup- port of their-constituents in looking out for the interests of this seetion, _ Whatever the new roads ought i this part of the state efforts should be made I to ses that their merits are fully sét o terth, it 18 & question whether in view 'of the effectiveness of the aircraft in war it is wige to continué t6 make stch great out- lays in the construction of surfaie ofaft. ‘The tést which is promised will ¥o & long way toward determining whers the great- est effort is going to be devoted in the future in the building up of the Ddest fighting machine for beth offensive and defensive purposes. OBREGON'S APPEAL. When President Obregon of Mexico ¢alls for aetion that will end the ofl 8om- troversy, and regards that as one of the things that is serisusly botheting his gov- ermnmént and country at the present time, theré ars reasens: to believe that he senses the duiy bdéfers bur neighbor to the south 4ad by his werls urging im- mediate action commits himsel? to an early and satisfaciory adjustment. Long beforse Obregon came into pawsr in Mexico theré was manifested an atti- tude toward interests of othér countries which had gone into Mexies for the pur- posé ot developing its naturdl réssurees which thréatened trouble.

In the latter instance there were brought to light features which had been apparently overlooked when the bill was before congress, while in the former both houses had already given attention to the very questions which the president raised. But it was shown in Dboth in- stances that it did not take long for the upper house to act upon the merits of the veto. In one case the genate was shown and it aceepted the veto. In the sther it had previotisly discoufited such i objection and it insisted upon the sarrying out 6f the judgment previeusly passed. The vetoes were decidedly dif- fetent in charadter and their treatment was likewise. DEALING WITH VEYOES.

In the éarly history of our country the legal administration was in the hands of the laymeén. The fitet Colonial magis- trate united in his powér the executive, legislative and judicial functions and the tfibunal Was térmed the “General Court.” The Putitdnic laws were odd and mest éxacting and consequently there of- ten a muscarri of justice, aL least a3 viewed in this tieth century. The first Courts in Amerioa ,'hat is, it the thirteen colonies, were called out by the first crime, The first trial in New England seéms to have been that of Jean Billington. _This occurred in 1621, when Governor Bradford, of the Plymouth Colony, sent from Plyméuth a beatlond of ten men te recover “that young scapé- grace, John Eillington.” This boy, | Whose father ten yéars after was hangéed by the colonists for murder, had come near bléwing up the “Mayflower,” in Pro- vincetown harbor, by shooting off a fowling piece in her cabin clese to an open keg of ‘powder and later escaped to the Plymouth woods. He had wan- dered into the tertitory of the Nauset Indians, who restored the lad unharmed to the English. From the déspotic over-gevernment af the Old World to the pure. self-govern- ment of the Pilgrim compact at Cape Cod was a long step. At this trial of Jehn Billingtoh, Which took place on March 21, “the wiiole company was summoned for the purpose of judging of his offence, the first committed améng them.” Billing- ton was acquitted but Was seversly rapri- manded. One of the first lawvers in New Enge land was Roger Ludiow, who was called from England to become assistant to the governor of Massachusétts in 1630. The first barristér in Massachusetts, and doubtless the first in New England, wka Thomas Newton. He was born and traife ed to the law in England, séttling in Bok- ton 1683, where he became attorney gens eral of the colony. Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Is- land, studied law undér Cobke, the émis nent English authority. Lawyer Ludlow was well .versed in Engiish 1laW and &n. tered into his practice, but the parties to a suit usually pleaded their own cases, unless it was of unusual gravity. It was not until 1766 that regulation Was made requiring three years' study to two years more to t-law ; followed by two more years to become a barristér, ing a presaribed seven years to pre- pare a layman far full practice in the higher courts.
