FIGHTING DISEASE. Reports have been made to the effect hat it will be comparatively only a few ars hefore the leper colonies about the ountry ean be abandoned. In some in- stances states which have been main- taining 'm have given them up and ransferred the patients to Louisiana that more effective treatment might be obtained, and It is through such treat- ment that the encouraging reports are belng mades regarding the ending of the colonies. n the treatment of lepresy the value chaulmoogra ofl has been known for & couple of centuries. It Is net, how- ever, only within a comparatively few years that it has been learned how to apply it in such a manner as to get the full benefit without the undesirable fea- tures. When, however, it is shown by the report of the federal health serviee that in the last two and a half years 140 patients have been paroled from the Hawalian Investigation station as ap- parently cured, and that of that num- ber only 12 have returned for further treatment, it becomes evident that a real and gratifying advance has been made In the fighting of this diseass, The &pread of the disease was en- ecouraged for years by the lack of any restrictive measures, Not until 1889 ‘were steps taken to prevent lepers com- ing to this country so that it is not sur- prising that as Jate as 1902, 278 were found here and only about a quarter of them under restraint. Conditions are different today but the estimate that there are from 500 to 1500 in the coun- try indicates that the fight cannot be abandoned. Through the segregation of the lep- ers effective means of checking the epread were taken but the discovery that led to the new treatment of such cases gives hope to a great number. For the new cases there is greater hope than for those which have become well established during many years but the mproved outlook for those who have the disease is far different than it used to be, and indicates anew what prog- ress seience is making in the struggle against disease. —— DOLLAR DAY. Dollar day is nothing new; it has been presented many times for the en- dorsement of the buying public and it has been given such’ enthusiastic en- dorsément that it is only natural that the merchants should be inclined to re- peat Wwhenever opportunity dictates. Dollar day means a time when those who do the trading are bound to give consideration to the offerings ‘which are made which permit of the saving of the pennies and the dollars, Those who are in need of goods of the great variety offered by the stores of Norwich, thoss who are inclined to anticipate their needs, those perhaps even who see a good chance to fortify themselves against requirements which are sure to be faced are bound to give considera- tion to the offerings and at the same time practice a bit of thrift. For thrift lies not entirely, in saving but in wise buying. Dollar day Is an occasion when the merchants are doing their best to get the dollar as near back to normal ax possible. They, are offering advantages which should mean that the people of Norwich and for many miles around should be disposed today to look well ta the filling of their needs and to the movement of the stock of goods in an- ticipation of the change in seasons. Whatever is done in the way of stimu- lating a larger volume of busin 3 also going to do its part toward improv- ing conditions, In industrial as well as commercial circles. Thus it is apparent that while Dollar day will abound In bargains on all sides, will result in the moving of large stocks of goods and the filling of delay- ed or anticipated wants it will also be an ald to the improvement of general business and economic conditions. Norwich stores are noted for their courtesy and desire to please. In ar- ranging Dollar day this has not been disregarded and full advantage should be taken of the great number of attrac- tive offerings that are put forth. There is someéthing in it for evéryone and everyone should move to get his part of it. Dollar da is today, RELIEVING NEW ENG When it is igdicated rtnat the trunk lines are mot favorably inclined to the order of 'the interstate commerce com- mission which permits the New Eng- ND ROADS land roads an iIncrease of 15 per cent. In the pranortion of the rates which are allowed them for the handling of through freight, it ingdicates that they are not so flush with funds that they are in a pasition to see part of them zo without expressing thelr disapproval, but there can be no question In thelr minds at to what is the eondition of the New FEngland roads and that they are entitled to all that they have received at the hands of the commission. Sinee the New England roads have not been ahle to make ends meet for a long time it has been evident that they neaded heln and it was through a larger share of the through freight rates that it might be obtained without turning *o measures which would be inclined to have harmful effécts upon the volume of business. It is of course only proper that there should be a proper division of the rates shtalned on through shipments. Tn bringing this to the attention of the in- terstate commerce commission the New England roads were out for a fair deal and there is no reason to suppose but what the decision rendered *fl in aecord with the facts. It at least recognizes the serious condition of the New Engz- land roads and belfeves that the remedy sought and prescribed for some meae- ure of relief is justified. Even wish the inere: allowed there is mo danger that the New England roads will immediate- ly become hig dividend payers or sur- plus accumulators. EDITORIAL NOTES.

For some time this was con- sidered a joke but the sponsor of the bill acted in perfectly good faith.c Very likely it-will never be called up for serious ac- tion, because you can nelver legislate men into goodness. England once ‘ried a sim- ilar act of uniformity and dismally failed. Ths resolution, however, furnishes food for thought. Why do many neopie here in America turn down the church? Is it because the modern pulpit is not up to the intellectual capacity of the psw? Observ- ation inclines us most decidedly to the centrary. Or is it because the things of “time and sense” have gotten euch a strangle hold of the people ag to dull their taste for the finer things of mind and soul? I wish the consciences of all non- church going members would come to- gether in solemn conclave and discuss this question: “Are we jusilfied in breaking the contract we made with the chizrch when we joined that we would attend its ser- vices?

The mid-winter exams have eome. and to the delectation of most students have gone. The second semester with its usual trials and annoyamces, whici are not generally fatal, Is now under headway. I would like to ask the students in all the grades and of both séxes who hajve come out of thélr exams with flying colors if it doesn't pay to put in gaod hard, honest term work? When tiat i done in nine cases out of ten, the axams will take care of themselves. The result of an examination is going to depend on the degree with which a subject has been mastered, and with most students mastery comes not through brilliant intuitions but by hard patlent study.

The meanest thing he ever conceived was robbing Naboth of his vimeyard, but his craven cowardice was not equal to the emergency, but Jezebel found it easy to have Naboth falsely accused of crima, which caused him to be murdered. But the wineyard was not forthcoming. A mighty power tha® protects the weak and the helpless intervened, and made tha transaction a boomerang that destroyed the despicable pafr..

Mitiukov, the well know Russian statesman and scholar, who was the leader of the liberal opposition in the Duma and afer the March revolution of 1917 ocoupled the post of minister of foreign affairs in the Russian provisional government, is at present in this country es delegate of the executive committee of the conference of the All-Russian con- stituent assembly. Concerning American and the Genoa conference he has the following to say: Before the United States decides wneth- er it should take part in the Genoa con- ference, at which the American repre- eenatives would mee the delegates of bol- shevist Rusesia, three main points in the situation should be made perfectly clear: First, what are the motives behind the deciston of certain European circles to urge that such a conference take place? The answer o this is, business consider- ations. Second, what are the motives that induce the bolshevist rulers to ac- cept eagerly the invitation to the con- terence? The answer to this is, the ma- terfal and moral exhaustion of the bol- shevist regime. Finally, will the result of the confer- ence, if it takes jplace, fulfill the expecta- tions of both parties, and how will it af- fect the general situation? The answer to this is: The Genoa conference, if it re- sults in an open failure, which is quite probable, will only illustrate once more the fmpossibility of bridging the chasm between bolshevism and civiMzation. If on the other hand, it will result in some agreement with the bolshaviki, this agree- ment, just as the previously concluded British-bolshevist trade agreement, will result very soon in disappointment for the business interests and in the strengthening of the bolshevist power and thefr prop- aganda throughout the world. Conse- quently, the agreement reached will not hmierove the European and the interna- tional ecomomic situation. It will rather retur to economic normalcy in Eurape nd on thiz side of the ocean. No one would object to an international conference which would, however re- motely, promise to straighten out the gen- eral economic situation. Were there no other but economic consderations involv- ed, there could be®no doubt as to partic- fpation in the conference. It is the pres- enco of the bolshevist delegates that makes the question a political ome, and accordingly subject to dispute. The bolsehvist rule is nearing its logieal end. The material resources upon which it rested are near exhaustion. The zold Teserve in bolshevist possession is down al- most nil, and they are unable, therefore, to get from abroad the surplies mnecessary for the sucport of their communist party, the .bolshevist bureamcracy and the red army. At the same time, Russia, incldinz the villages, i sin a state of starvation and famine, and the bolsheviki are unablc to get supplies from the peasants. There- fore they are badly in need of a loan. It is naive to expect that the bolsheviki would spend the credits secured for the economic Teconstruction of Russia. The loan they ask for is needed for the upkeap of thelr decaying mafhinery of domina- tion. Continuation in pewer is the belehe- viki's only aim. It is clear that Russia‘s return to pro- duptivity is indispensable for the reestab- lishment of normal economic conditions in Burdoe and throughout the world. At the same time, the minimum reforms required to make Russia's return to produetivity possible is the restablishment of personal security and legal order, wmcn would safeguard human lives and property in Rifssia. However, these elementary condi- | tions of obvilized intercourse, which Rus- siarFossessed since the time of Peter the Great, cannot be conceded by the bolshe- vikl. They interfere with the basic prineiple of their arbitrary rule, gnd the matarialization of these conditions would destroy the bolshevist power. In the absence of these prerequisites, none of the elements of Rusia’s national economy can be restored ; neither agrioul- ture, nor industry, nor commerce, nor the balance of trade, nor a sound currency, nor a budget. Under the bolshevis: rule Russia will continue in a state of econo- mic disintergration, sinking lower and lower. The famie, which set in practic- ally as early as 1919, will become chronic. The real solution o fthe problem lles in the confirmation of the just and demo- cratic American policy towards Russia, as expressed in Secretary Colby's note of August -0, 1920, and Secretary Hughes' note of March 25, 1921. We Russian dem- ocrats, appeal to America that this peliey of friendship for the Russian people and of an uncompromising attitude towards bolshevism should be continued. If the bolsheviki are anxious for intercourse with the civilized world, the demoaratic natlons should present to hem the foilow- ing conditions as a preliminary to any conference: 1. The bolsheviki must agree to an immediate abolition of terror and of the notorious “extraordinary commis- sion” (the Che-ka); 2. Political fresdom (freedom of speech, press and assembly) must be reestablished in Russia, and 3, The bolsheviki must agree to immediate frez elecns to a really rajresentative asembly. How, otherwise, can the Rus- sian people—to quote from the supreme finell's resofution—tchoose for them- selves the system thoy prefer?” The Russian democrats will not cease to mrotest against any international measure which tends to-strengthen mor- ally and materially the government which [!s mot recognized by the Russian peapie and whose policy perpetuates the state of starvation in Russia. Ignorance alone, or a hidden synwathy wikh the bolshe- vist experiment, can dictate the poHcy which would give a new lease of life to the dying bolshevist regime. FAMOUS TRIALS MME. TIQUET Mme. Tiquet, which has been made fa- miliar to the English world through a translation from the -French “Causes Celebres,” a miscellaneous collection abounding in strange incidents and au- thentic criminality. Mme. Tiquet was the daughter of a wealthy bookseller by the name of Carlier, whose fortune at was estimated at $25.000. She was born in 1657, and was left an orphan at the age of 16. She was not only beautiful but accomplished. Among heér numer- ous admirers was Mons. Tiquet, a counselor of Parliament. They were married and the first months were full of smiles. The happy days overn, the excessive expenses of Mme. Tiquet obliged her husband to endeavor to set some bounds to them. And still worse, Sieur de Montgeorge, French guards, so captain of the dazzled -the eyes was over head and heels in debt. and his embarrassments were increased by the expenses he had incurred in his marriage.

She was removed to the Chatelet. When he found she was arrested, Cattelain put himself in- to the hands of justice, making an .| open confession that three years be- fore Mme. Tiquet had engaged him in a conspiracy to murder her husband in which also her porter was concern- ed. The trial that followed found her accused not only of attempting to mur- der her husband, but also for having been concerned in a conspiracy for {hat purpose. which had not taken ef- fect. Finally, on June 3, 1699, the judge of the Chatelet passed sentence upen her and upon the porter, by which she was adjudged to have her head cut off and he to be hanged. Cattelain was condemned to the galleys for life. ‘When the husband had fully recov- ered he went to Versailles, accompan- ied by his two children, and threw himself at the feet of the King. “Sire,” said he; “I implore your merey for Mme.

Mr. Editor: I do not propose here to answer this momentous question, but pre- fer to leave it to the intelligence, o; ::: simplP® ask a few pertinent questions. First, who are the principal violators (in the manufacture and sale of intoxi- cating liquors) of the Volstead act? How about their antecedents, thefr character, ste? Second, Who are responsible for the innumerabie holdups and rabberles al! over the country? Also murders? Third, What is or was the primal cause for such an influx of foreigmers to tnis country?
