CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING NOV: 11th, 1922 11,961 —— THE JAPANESE DECISION. ‘When the naturalization adopted those who could mot. It was Specific in its statement that naturalisation was spen to the white and the blacks. That! meant that it was not open to the oth- ers, 5o when the United States supreme court renders a decision to the effect Ahat the law of the mation is that Jap- aness cannot be naturalized it doesn't reveal any new state of affairs, but is simply the reiteration of what has been mceepted as the fact that the subjects of Japsa are ineligible for American citigenship. The law is such that this i the smituation even though they de- sire to withdraw their allegiance to Ja- pan and ;become full fledged American citizensy Japan has desired that there be a change in this law and that its sub: Jects should get the same t: American citizenship that white and black natfons have, but this country has never seen the advisability of comply- ing with the desire. ~‘Whenever the question has arisen efforts -have been made to so present it to Japan as not to, ofeate ill foeling. It has called for di- plemacy, and though disappointed Ja- pan has accepted the situation. That i of course what will be qome in sonnec- tion with this latest decision. | This country has assumed no new a titude. The court decision,is in keep- ing with what has been said previously. and it is to b® noted that the same care was taken in the wording of it that, characterised previous affairs of the, kind. Japan fully recognizes the fact that the supreme court doesn’t make the laws, that its duty is to interpret the laws and at times set forth their mean- Ing. Those who have maintained that! it was possible for Japanese to be na: uralized under our laws have carpled * this matter to the highest court in the land and have learned that they were n the wrong. That makes it clear that the law must be changed before Jap- anese can be naturalized here, and such r change doesn't appear likely in the immediate future, COHILI'S EARTHQUAKE. Early reports were bad enough as! they came from the different points of Chili, but from those which have been received since it doesn't appear that! here was any exaggeration of the con- jitions or the distress that prevail in! hat South American country as the re- it of and following the earthquake. Full sympathy can be hrough similar without warning and , they cause ‘ail kinds of havdc without man being able ‘o prevent them and in most cases lit- lle or nothing to protect himself. . Not always, but in thi§ and many other instances, the earthquake causes; tremendous losses, irreparable damage! ang destruction, to say nothing of the large loss of human life, . There are ‘the instances where it has furnished the im- petus for recreative forces that result- ed in bigger and better cities, and yet! there are others where the probability of frequest repetitions is feared that it has eaused the people to seek homes elsewhree, The thought im Chili at the present time of eourse is to take care of the dis- iress that prevalls, to providé homes and food for the homeless and hungry and to deal with the looters that have auickly respomded to the prevailing con- ditions there, Such a job, extending as it does over such g long reach of te tory, is by no means an easy one and yet TeMet must be provided. The full! exteny of the disaster will reguire days to @stermine apd then the whols story of the distresy will never be revealed, though emough is known to appreciate fhe condition of the people overs with such a- dispster, As the distress is nue\ed increased attentin can be given to the problem of racomstruction, and it is mot improb- able that the badiy battersd ports of Chill will be developed to & greater ex:! tent than they ever were before. Tha is mot an unususl result where a new order of things is mads possible lhrw:h & eatastrophe of that kind. r——— THE EANSAS JOB.

This would indicate that instead of gi ing him the authority from the peoplc that he would naturally look ror, tnat they had proceéded to tie his hands be- fore.he was able to get busy. Thus in Kansas the governor-elect seems dis- vosed to believe that he had been com- missioned to do something which seems difficult of accomplishment because the people have failed to give him a legis- lature in sympathy with his views, Thus when Kansas' new governor gets Into &otion it would appear that he was bound to encounter obstacles of serious proportions. Just how serious they will be rests with the future to develop. THE COAL TAX. Just at this time when the question of fuel is uppermost in the minds of the people more than the usual degree. of concern will be shown in the effort Which 1s being made by Attorney Gen- eral Allen of Massachusetts, and rep- resenting Connecticut along with- other New England and adjoining states, to havé the tax placed on antaracl by, the state of Peansylvania declared un- constitutional. This is not a zew. fight or & new un- dertaking, but one that has just got to the United Staets supreme court where the constitutionality of it is under at- tack, under the claim that it is & dis- criminatory burden upon the consumers of hard coal and a tax on a commodity to point out that Pennsylvania has & monopoly on anthracite and that 80 per cent of it is shipped outside of the state and haif of it goes to the states that are protesting the tax. Attention is likewise called to.the part which it is playing in high prices when it is noted that before the export tax is levied there have al- Teady been collected real estate taxes at full value, county taxes, township taxes, city taxes, school taxes, road taxes, borough taxes and poor taxes to 'Eay nothing of the tax which the coal oper- ators pay to the state, This export tax is possible because no other state has anthracite to sell from which those unwilling to stand the bur- den might turn. Haying the monopoly Pennsylvania makes the most of its po- sition to squeege six million dollars an- nually out of coal consumers, since they pay the tax in the end. The case having gone through the Pennsylvania supreme court and tax ‘supported there as constitutlonal, it now comes before the United States su- preme court in an effort to obtain relief from which is regarded as an imjustice. The price of coal is sufiicient @t the present time without the necessity of bearing this added levy, THE DISTEIBUTION PROBLEM, Before the matter of waste can be{a properly settled there are problems in distribation that must be solved. This is recognized in commection with the farm produce that goes to -waste, the apples that are allpwed to Tot on the trees or the ground, the peaches which some think it doesn’t pay to market. Buf just at the present time there is the matter of fuel which holds a promi- nent place in the minds of the people and yet there are great quantities of it that go to waste because of a lack cf means or the failure to provide means to get it to a point where some excsl- Jent use could be made of it. A contemperary calls attention, and it is timely attention too, to the great wastage that comes from the piling up. and burning beside the tracks of great quantities of railroad ties, The heat units in such material are enormous. Disposed of in that manner they do no! Zood even though it is safer to have them in ashes than in the form of ties tbat could be used hy those who intend barm to trains. The same can be sald of that vast amount of wood that is to be found in the wooded sections of the state, wheth- er left standing by fire or broken by storm, but of which no use' is made. It may not be first class marketable wood but many could utilige it for the! purpose of getting heat wihile lacking] something better. . The chance to work up such material would be jumped at b¥ thousands i they were S0 situated, wherb they could get it, or it could be brought to' their vicinity. “While “tles and abandoned wood may. be regarded as second hand they are nevertheless burnable in stoves as 'well as in he great outdoors and it is only & matter of distribution ‘that stands in the way of their greater utilizaflon. ——e EDITORIAL NOTES.

A large part of the streets are without Tepair. Drive from Preston bridge to- ‘wards - Preston city to the Preston line and you will find a street that would be grace to any civilized city. Hamil- ton avenue is like a river bed. The same holes, humps and hollows that were there 4 year ago exist today only in a worse condition. This road, a mile long and used extensively, has been repaired dur- ing the past year only with one load of cinders, dumped in a heap mear tne Preston line, levelled by the traffic and did more harm than, good. ‘Why are the streets neglected? politics, graft, incapacity, or a lack of money? It is mot a lack of money. Twenty-five dollars used judiciously once in a few months would smooth this street and make it very passable. It canmot be political crookedness. Any child would know better than to employ such methods. ‘We do not believe it is graft even if it does look a little “streaked” when we see that the streets that have been rebuilt lead to some “special inter- ests” and are very little benefit to the public. Whatever else, the underlying cause must be incapicity. The citizers of Norwich to pay the tax they are compelled to pay and re- ceive so little benefit and still hold their peace must be a long suffering people. 0. B. Is it Preston, Nov. 14, 1922. A Little Talk on Thrift + SAVING MONEY. One of the values of thrift lies in the fact that, under prudent care, your dollars, as you add to them one by one, become your constant co-workers.

If you are among those who unfortus “{nately have never become savers of money, do not feel that the start is mot worth while because the amount of vour first savings must be limited.

Durango state, scene of Mexico's most recent revolution, and Tepe- huantes, where the rebel leader, Mur- gia, was executed, form the subject of the following bulletin from the Wash- ington, P. C., headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic Society “Attention was focused upon Durango in 1916 by the march into that state of Gemeral Pershing’s ex peditionary force. Then, and to this day, the finding of worn and weather- beaten carretas, or clumsy carts, with their solid wooden wheels, and built without' nails or spikes, recalls the very early communication between rango City and New York. In those days it took & year to transport freight between those points. “The state of Durango has an area about equal to that of Virginia, and a population estimated at about that of New Hampshire. In normal mining times more than 4,000 miming pro- perties were operated in Durango, a number exceeded only in Chichuahua, to the nmorth, and in-Sonora, to the northeast across a strip of Chihuahua and Sinaloa. Most of the Durango mines were closed in 1915. “The name of the little settlement, Tepehuantes, recalls one of the earli- est events in Durango's. recorded his- tory. It was the tribe which gave the hame to the village whigh, with the Tarahumares, arose against the Span- ; ish settlers four years before Piy- mouth Colony was founded. In that year some 25,000 Indians of these twe tribes marched on Durango City. They killed missionariés and burped down churches as they moved. Not more than 600 white people withstsod this siege and even allowing for an ex- aggeration in their- dstimate of 15,000 of their enemy killed, the white man’s victory was a terrible lesson to their assailants. “Remnents of these two tribes now sprinkle the edges of the Sierra Madre range which cuts across the north- west corner of Durango. “A Tecent theory that chaperones make for greater liberty among the young, on the same principle that policemen give citizens the freedom of city streets by night, finds interest- ing exemplification among these They are monagamous and jealous of the virtue of their girls. “It is expressly forbidden for a ‘woman te talk to any man, other than members of her family, outside )ur own home.

Each of the victime had to watch the gther’ pun- ishment, and shortly before the time for its administering couriers were sent through the village to summon the inhabitants that they might pro- fit by the object lesson. “Mescal, pulque and aguardiente are Mexican drinks of wide reputa- tion but these tribes had a beverage, tesvino, peculiar to them. Tesvino is a beer, of milk and water hue, tastes like kumyss, made from maish cora and grass seed. “These Indians retain symbols in- troduced. by early missionaries but little of Christianity. When they wor- ship pagan gods before a Christign cross they pour out libations of tesvi- no. They feed it to infants along with their mothers’ milk to ward off sick- ness. They use it as a.liniment, and take it ipternally, for every ill. They employ it at orgies with no thought of debauchery, for such orgies are part of_ their worship. “Three phenomena make the state of Durango distinctive. One is the wild coffee which grows on the hill .| slopes, producing a small berry with a delicious flavor. From these un- cultivated bushes the natives gather their entire coffee supply. “Near Durango City is an iron mountain—a mass of metal nearly %0 per cent pure—nearly a mile Jong, about as tall as the Times Building in New York,” and more than a thou- sand feet wide. Mining operations here were checked by the revolution. “Durango City, with its reinforced concrete buildings, still is beset by scorpions. This type of lizard is in- digenous to the state and in Durango City alone its deadly sting causes from thirty to forty deaths each year. “One of the oldest customs of Du- rango is_ the funeral ceremony for children. Through the streets moves & procession that suggests a fate day. Both men and women compose the gay crowd, some on horseback, some on foot. There is the music of violin and the beating of drums.
