Citizens of Norwich cammot fail to be alert to the importance of the adjourned anmial look city meeting, and cannot aver- ct that it is to be held Mon- 2. going to require only a little of a million and a quarter dollars municipality for the next fis- r and it rests with the city meet- the necessary appropria- the o ine what it is belleved A b and what should not bo. It e for the citizens to let known, to indicate where they believe momey should be ex- pended or where ccomomy should be pract! In other words it is tfme for the stockholders to tell the directors how they wish the business of the city run and provide the money to do it. There are of course certain fixed ex- penses whi have got to be met and the voting of the necessary money may be regarded as perfunctory. That is the attitude which a grest number has taken for years only to follow it up with complaints and criticisme because some: thing else wasn't done or because what was done was not done in a different They Jeft it to others to do and a failed to meet requirements.

We are leading n a movement for dlsarmament and we have cut out navy and army to a mersa skeleton of what they were. We are out { the war buetness unless conditions force us into it, but we are not disre- garding the importance of guarding against the unknown. Military traiving in this comntry has elways been far different than in many othe: When it became necessary to ralse a large army the lack of such training was quickly apparent. That didn’t mean that we didn't develop fight- ing troops but there.was apparent a great lack of tralning which would have ~n benefictal to the young men of the country if there had never been a war and there was never a possibility of one occurring again. Last year there were valuable training camps mnaintained about the country for voung men between 17 and 25 and the fdea will be contimed during August of |sconer # can be dome the quicker ths this year.

Unless they are wall grounded by training in their work the forces they are responsible for are cer- tain to show the effects of it. Officers’ training camps are thus an important part of the work of prepar- edness in case an emergercy should arise to require their services.

Almost from the day, in the preceding summer, when the great dec- laration has been issued, mistortune had followed on misfortune’s heels—Long Is- land, the loss of New.

The army was crum- bling, only civil authorities pretended to maintain any central organ. . The enemy delayed to fipish his task, only because he was so certain of his quarry that haste would be unseemly. “And then the flash of Washington's deflances! The crossing of the Dela- ware in storm and ice fioes; the march, and the delays which made it impossible to effect a night attack and a complete surprise; Washington's stern and fate- ful decision to press on, and stake eve: thing on the issue; finally, the attack, and the victory. “Brilliant as was the accomplishment, Washington, on the Jersey side, was faced presently by the superior strength of the now consolidated British forces.

Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin is inter- ested in bringing about the resumption of coal production. He fsn't taking sides but he belleves justice should bs done to all concerned and he isn't un- mindful of the fact that some parts of the country are bound to be hit much worse than others by the dragging out of the strike situation. What the Wisconsin senator beHeves should be done is for the government to take over the mines in sufficient num- ber to produce the coal that Is needed in the northwest and which must be moved before a certain date in the fall it it Is to he transported at all. He would see that a wage in keeping with conditions was established and if sucn does not appeal to tHe mipers he is con- fident that there are enough patriotic individuals in the country to get the coal out of the ground. It is quite apparent that there is & desfre”to avoid a shortage quite the same as there is to get away from high prices. The time to do it is now. Repeatedly when there has been a strin- gency in the coal market it has been In- sisted that the demands of the morth- west must be supplied before lake nav- igation closes if the facilities for hand- ling coal were to be employed for the prevention of & shortage meaning seri- ous conditions among many people. That means tihey must be placed on the preference list and that others wait thelr turn. But witk the northwest zer ting anxious of the loss of two months' Ime for procuction it is not strange that there should be a call for resumption of coal digging. This is the proper time of year for a coal strike if there must be onme but it doesn’t appear that any- thing more is going to be gained by con- tinuing it than by facing the facts and getting down t0 an adjustment. Coal is a product in which everyone is concernmed., dlrectly or indirectly. Stopping production affects the public ag well as the miners and the operators and when such curtallment gets to the point where it threatens serious condi- tions during the coming winter it can be appreciated that pressure for an ear- ly ending or other methods of meetirg the situation is timely. To have deference for public opinion is one thing, but to bow down to it and_be Its slave is something entirely differént. I have never yet seen a person b enough to flout publi, opinion and be able to get away with it. I have seen many men and women who thought they were big enough, and really thought they were doing it, but they were sadly mistaken. Exactly what putlic opinion is and who makes it is a proper question to ask. ‘What some old grandmother of sither sex thinks you and I ought to do is some- times mistaken for public opinion. And there are some timid enough to take their cue from the dear old lady. Public opin- jon is the general consensus of belief in right or wrong in all cases, and of wis- dom or unwisdom in some cases. But on some questions, and in some localities, public opinion may be about evenly di- vided. In such cases we are not to take our pace from either, but from our own reasoning faculties. It is usually safe for a man to follow the dictates of his own reason, provided he has kept his reason in a healthful state. He is never to be a slave to anybody or anything. Sometimes the question appears in pub- lic as fo just what free government is, and just how it ought to be conducted. Very little of this question was heard prior to the French revolution. In the early or middle ages there was no free government. It was generally the unlim- ited or absolute moparchy. Magna Charta, extorted by the ndbles of England from King John, was the first dawning of the day of government by the people. 'To he ruled by an absolute mnarch was autoc- racy; to be governed by the few is an oligarahy ; to be governed by the many, that is, by the p2ople, is democracy. It does not by any means follow that the rule of an autocratic king Is tyranmy, any more than the ruling of & New England town or city meeting by an ig- norant, howling mob is liberty. It is sometimes forgotten by some that direct rule by the people is an absolute impossi- bility. Authority must be delegated to representation. What would be the re- sult if the attempt were made to carfy out everyone's opinion as to the conduct of pubiic affairs? The Tower of Babel would become a bonanza for the con- tractors. 6 ed, turning to General bowing p\'flfbunil‘!, fim smu have been made fajrest laurels will be exceliency, not from ~ he , H .nearest you can get * Washington Club Bottling Co.

Wars are writ very big in 'his- tory; very much bigger symetimes than they deserve fo be. Battles have sel- dom decided the fate of people. The real story of human progress is written elsewhere than on the world’s battle- flelds, and war and conflict have provid- &d rather its puncuation than its theme.

We are now right in the midst of the growing season. For the most part gardens are now planted. Many things are up. They have passed through the allotted period in the under- world. They have come out of their dark, invisible, mysterious world of germina- tion into the open. where we-can almost see them grow.

In thought there are a great many who would like to accompany Amundsen on his present polar expedition. As a matter of fact not many would be will- ing to become a member of the party, knowing as they do of the hardships an& experiences that must be anticipated.

The promulgation of the Declaration of In- dependence had moved the British au- thorities to especially determined efforts for quick suppression of the revolution. To them it was,vitally important that the fires of revolt be smothered before the new feeling of nationality had ris- en to make the colonists realize the substantial unity of their cause and their interests.

What mother, living or dead, has not been proud of that great stcapping boy, running up into the air six feet or more, broad shouldered, and with an appetite that is perfectly abnormal. He is a fine exhibition of growth, and there are few things on the face of the €arth more fm- portant than attaining perfect physical proportions. I am heart and soul in fa- vor of athletic sports in our schools be- cause they help to make fine physical manhood and womanhood. I am not sa keen to professional athletics, becauss there is danger in making them too mer- cenary. There is an equal, if not a greater, de- light in watching intellectual ~develop- ment. It goes without saying that, un- less there is growth in this = Qirection, there can be but little show for success in life. Nothing short of pesitive ‘wrong- doing in the world is more nathetic than a young person having a fine physique capped with an empty head. We need growth here if anywhere, and nowhere more so than possibly along moral and spiritual lines. Scarcely anything affords parents more réal joy than to watch the mental processes of their children grow. And there s scarcely anything that gives the children themselves more delight than to realize that. they are getting some- where with their studfes; that they can not only think but think conmectedly, logically, with concentrated and sustain- ed power. This is a great acquisition. The boy and girl are willing to go to college because’ they feel able to cope with the advanced studies of the universi- ty course. To do the world’s work growth in this direction is imperative. This matter of growth would be fnex- cusably incomplete without an emphatie word in relation to growth of character, or development along moral and spirituai lines.

Every one of the six men who met on that mountain was eminently & man of prayer, and it was while Christ was praying that His face and His garmenis were changed and became shining as the sun and white as the light. Then there appeared and talked with Him two men, Moses and Elijgh. Many of us have seen people whose wvery untenances have been changed after 3 season of prayer, and !halr whole lives seem to be transformed. We camnot be in real communion with God without getting more or less of that glory. Peter and the others were heavy with sleep; but when they ware awake they saw His glory and the two men that stood with Him. Sometimes we think those three disciples represent the church of today. They fell asleep just before the glory burst upon the &ceme. It seems as if we are near to {he consummation of things; that the glory of the Som of Man is about to be manifested and yet the bride is falling asleep, instead of watching for the coming of the Bridegroom. The great need of today is a vision of the Christ and a fully consecrated heart to work for Him. If we want power with God, we must get as far from the world as we can. Suppose Peter had said, “Lord, if we ga down from this mount, can we Dplay cards just as much as ever, and dance just as much as ever?” Because we have beem im this mount with you, and had such holy visions, have We got to give up all thdse z Could you imagine such a tBing? seems to me if we get one lock at cnrm in His love and beauty, this world’s sin- ful pleasures would look very small to us.
