BUSINESS RATHER THAN POLITICS Are the people of Norwich going to stand by an administration that has been doing. its duty, that has been living upi to its responsibilities insisting upon an) economic and efticient conduct of city af-} fairs, or are they going to call for the setting up of party interests before those of the municipality and the sidetracking of a businesslike administration for one that will cater to the Dbenefits of a few to the detriment of the many? As to what they should do there can bs no question. What they will do will be disclosed at the ballot box next Mon- day. 1f they are appreciative of good gow ernment and earnestly seek its contin- vance they will make it a peint to go 16 the polls next Monday and pull the republican lever, thereby voting for the candidates who can be relied upon te support the policies of sound business government that have been put into oper- ation during the past twelve months and which ought to be continued.. Buginess rather than politics way shown to be the guide of the administra- tion just closing at its very opening. Then efforts were made to obtain in- creases in salaries. It was not consid- ered proper that there should be any #uch increases. It could have been put through as a political méve, but it was not. There was nipped in the bud what would have meant an endless demand in that direction at a time when economy! rather than higher salaries was called for. What might kive been good poli. tics would have been noor business. That is only one of the many instances | where a businesslike conduct of city af-: falrs was insisted upon by the mayor| and council. Highly valuable steps have been taken toward getting the city on that much to be desired business basis. It rests with the voters of Norwich to decide and that decision should be ren- voters irrespective of party, both men | and women, by voting for the republican | nominees whe are committed to a eon- tinuance of these principles that have accomplished ®o much for the commu- nity. CENSORING THE PICTURES, It makes little difference what the channel is in which it is attempted cen- sorship isn’t apt to get very enthusiastic | support. There js aseemingly a feeling that it means an interference with rights and that always arouses opposition. Yet'| on two sides of us since the Arst of the vear states have adopted laws establisn- ing the censorship of moving picturea. New York led off and has been followed by Massachusetts and in neither of the instances can it be believed that it was done for the purpose of interfering with rights except so far as such is neces- sary in order 1o give the public the pro- tection from certain types of pictures to which they are entitled and which for the future citizenship it ought to have. Censorship laws have beén passed be- cause it has been found from experienco that the accomplishment of the same purpose could not be left to these whe are directing the motion picture indus- try. Strong pleas have been made for a chance to de just that kind of house- cleaning and do it from within the mo- tion picture industry. Onmly too gladly would such a solution have been accept- d had it been possible to recogmize that the desired results would be obtained. On the contrary public demands arise' from the experiences that have been had with self-imposed restrictions. The cen- sorship laws are due to present condi- tions and while it might have been more desirable from the motion picture indus. try's standpeint to have their own cen- sorship it cannot fail to be made plain to it that there iy an opportunity to so arry on a housecleaning within\jts own circles as to make m dead letter of the state laws by pvercoming their necessity. It remains to be seen whether the motion picture industry will respond to the op- portunity which is befere them before oOther states see the necessity of fol- lowing the action of New York and Massachusetts. —_—— ABMY AND NAVY. While efforts are being made to bring about a reduction in the naval appropria- tion by a reduction in the number of men, a similar effort is also under way in connection with the army appropria- tion bill, amd in eseh instance stress is being laid wpen the need of ecomomy. The cutting down of expenditures and the elimination of meediess appropriation | doesn't surprise. is ripe for the trimming of the appro- priations in erder that there can be laid here. the foundation for a redaction in taxa- tion. It is & demand that is being faced by local, state and federal governments red at the polle next Monday by the °° ! doesn’t and it'must of coursg receive considerate attention. In keeping down' expenditures there must be a distinction made between that which can be done wisely and with_safe- ty and that which threatens to leave two of the important departments of the gov- ernmént helpless in’ the way of defense shouM trouble arise. There can be no toleration of government waste or of ex. penditures that are not justified. The ohecking of unwarranted outlays is high- ly commendable but care must be taken not to put the goverrment in a hole, or actually making its expenditures larger by false economy. It ig gertainly no time for pork barrels | of any kind or description. Every dollar should be employed only where it is needed or where the best interests of dhe country require it. But in maintaining our military establishments until a bet- ter situation arises we must take care not to embarrass ourselves. | GENERAL HORACE PORTER. © General Horace Porter has filled a high position in the eves of his fellow countrymen for a long period of years. His death comes at the ripe old age of 84, following distinguished service to his country as a soldier, as a diplomat and as a publicist ,and patriotic citizen.

There are 12,000 on the Rhine, 16.000 ‘in the Philippines, 15,000 in Hawaii, 7.900 at Panama, a regiment in Porto Rico, -and 1,000 in China. He explained that the medical corps, ordnance, aircraft men, signal corps and coast artillery are already reduced to their minimum, so all further reduction must come from cavalry, infantry and field artillery. “That would reduce the infantry to a number So small that we should. have squads instead of regiments, and the men would have to be spread very thin to cover the great area of the er. if gallery, anything?” “What's' that ot to do with it?” de- manded can hear better up there than anywhere else in the place.’ .
