Harding regarding the con- j@uctiof this government. He went inue Ivarious phases extensively during his campaign and he impressed with his Istatements. Even greater attention will therefore be given to his inaugural mess- age deltvered as the presjdent of the na- tion rather than as & candidate for the pffice and it is an address which Will be caretully and widely read. Therein President Harding makes It clear that he stands firmly for constitn- tional government and that it is still pos- ‘sidle to follow its directions even thongh the country has developed and grown and taken on with such growth new re- sponsibilities, and in gpite of the fact tat it holds an influential position among the oms of the world and desires to its responsibilities in that re- _evect. * But, as he has repeatedly stated, the president believss that the golden advice ®f our first president cannot be ‘wisely dis- Tegarded. We cannot consider too care- folly the dangers of foreign entangle- ments. Such an attitnde is not for the parposs of holding aloof, or refusing to @o our part In alding the solution of world problems, but for our own secur- ity. He made it clear that this country i willng and ready to assoctate with been made expenditures were mads wid-| ly without regard for value ved or amount of money had been provided and: Was to, get rid of it.

When it comes to providing education for its children Norwich believes that it should have schools - second to ~nome.

It Is a step that cannot long be delayed if the educational require- ments of the town are going to be main- tained, It is for the purpose of bringing out the facts concerning the school situation, the feeling of the citizens regarding -the proposition and a discussion of the fden as the advacates that the ‘open mesting Monday night is called. But a’ short time remains before th- options unon the property will expire and it is expected that a special town meet- {inz will be called for next Friday night for definite astfon. Adequate ‘school. fagijities are vital to n community and the eitizens of Norwich will do well to see that the best means lare taken to eltminate what appears to be a decided and apparent handieap to efMctent schools and give the children a fair deal.

Probably he is not a saint, at least he does mot pose as-cne. ‘If. he was when he went into the service, there was noth- ing, 1p the war that ‘tended to promote saintliness. “But why accuse him of crimes he is innocent of? A daring-and skiliful burglary was committed in New York by unknown parties. A leading jour- nal stated that the police surmised it was done by ex-soiliers. Now the ex-soldier ‘s met a prof @ ional crook. It was cow- andly for the volice to cover up their no- toriovs incompetency by blaming the un- fortunate ex-soldier.

In. spite -of the good advice that was given it months ago by the ‘president- clect and in spite of the need of enact- g certain important measures which were placed at the top of the list of things to be done at the session of con- gress which expired thls week many of them failed, § Congress spent a lot of time trying to whip into shape a tariff bil' which aroused much opposition’ from those who might normally be expected to support a protective tarift. It used up-time that should have been devoted to other mat- ters and the Tesult is that it has been successfully vetoed and falls by the way- side along with other measures, includ- ing some of the big appropriation bills. Congress has left the enactment of a bud- et bill to the next gongress. It is not probable that such whs done because! of the attitude taken foward it by Presi- dent Wilson but that must be given prop- er attention if the démands for better conduct of the mation’s business are go- ing to be met. The naval appropriation bill has failed because of the pressure of other business and the raising of the disarmament ques- tion, and in spite of the endeavors of both houses of congress to cut the army appropriation ‘materfally it has met with a pocket veto on the part of the presi- dent.

He remained only sufficiently long.on the east bank to build scows with which to cross it. The transit being completed, De Soto and his men set out on' a march across the present state of Arkansas. All'through the summer the Jittlh army marched through a country inhabited only by fierce and hostile Indians.
