Due Consideration

MT. Editor: We'll, the parcels post has "died a5ornin'," for the present, at least Uncle Joe has tucked it away so that it may mature and give con- gressmen an opportunity to give it a little more due consideration and ma ture deliberation, while in the mean time the express companies rake in a few more sheckles. But do the people really want a parcels post? We think not. If they did they would have one, and at once. The people can have anything they want, and would have it if they knew their strength. If ev- cry man who voted for a congressman
 last November would send letter to the congressman pretending to repre- sent the people in his district and say:
 T want a parcels post. and I want it right off" there would be no plea for due consideration and maj tllre delibara- ton, but would get busy at once. It would do no harm to add a postscript saying: T want 8 genuine parcels post and not a makeshift full of iokers." ]" Perhaps 1t fs as well that Uncle Joe put his foot on the one proposed, for the people would have been no better off with it than they are without any. The people think (some of then1) that they have got a postal savings bank. Well. they have got if, and have got in right where the chicken got the hatcEfet. What ie called a postal saw ings bank is only 8 Wall street trap to catch the depositors' pennies which it could not do under the old savings bank system Did you ever give 1t

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Another Water Proposition.

Mir. Editor All of tic streams abont Norwich which have been r1cn- toned as ava ia ble for use to increase it's acrusnent susriy of water have been turned down
 After ten years of recommendations and tigations 1t appears that many have decided that the engineers who chose. Stony brook were better guides in this matter than the lawyers and doctors. hut mot all have become convinced and agree.
 The opinion expressed by some that the delay of ten years has saved to the city the interest on the cost of the Stony brook supply does not seem to be we'll founded.
 Norwich, in these ten years, by an- nexing part eef Preston, has in- creased 1O.7 per cent. in population. The entire state of Connecticut has increased 22.7 per cent, SC that the increase in some parts has been at least three or four times what it has been in the eastern part. This result is no doubt largely due to the way in which the water question has been managed Business men about to make some change in location look in to conditions and probable movements in affairs and these have become bet ter informed about Norwich than are many of those who have always lived here.
 The income of the water depart nnent could hsve been made very much larger by a progressive management. The restrictions placed on the use of

sprinofieId and Boston.

There is this much in the story of a s3,o8e,000 fund and 30 acres of land, the bait to tempt the Massachusetts institute of technology from Boston to Springfield: The incident shows both the realization, away from Boston, of the worth of the institutes presence in any locality. and the failure to re- cognize its worth, here an Boston. It is 8 mild indictment of Boston, that this story of removal of the institute could obtain days life. Springfield, in this curious situation, shows live appreciation of possibilities, and a virile eagerness to seize (even to create, if need be) opportunity. IL is in contrast to the local lack of inter- est in the problem of this institution, the foremost scientific school in the country and one Of the great schools of the world. It should be regarded as a Boston iflstitutfon, for all time.
 The Springfield idea is at once de- nounced as absurd. but it is pertinent to ask what the alumni in this part of the state, or other people who should be interested, are doing to compare with that suggested plan of $3.00o, 900 and 30 acres in Springfield Boston Advertiser.

through several villages and enaoie the department to supply thickly set tied paras of the town which it never has as yet and to give Q fire protection to several mills.
 To develop the power as proposed. the water would be carried in pipes or canal from the old log dam at tho head of the rapids to waterwheelS lo- cated near Gate hollow.
 The water would be diverted past two dams which are now in good con- dition. As all of the water would not be taken and that which was diverted would be used so as to return more power than now, arrangements could be made if desired whereby as much power could be used at Bozrahville as istenca. But the better way would probably be to bring all of the power for use near nayigable water.
 The advantages of building but one dam for both power and water supply as regards costs and the active form of the investment are apparent. A pipe line could be constructed so as to be used for either purpose also.
 There are but few of the older cor porations which can borrow money at so low a rate as well managed city has to give. The banks of Norwich have many times the cost of doing this work placed with them for investment. Their funds are being used for the doing of such work as this somewhere.
 The city has already esta b1ished the organizations for the dfstrfb ution of water and electric power. The city already has the market for more water and electric power, and it will continue to have it as long as the departments are well managed. Having taken up the duties and responsibilities of the business the city must be prepared to meet every call which may be made upon them.
 A city should not conduct its busi- ness in a natural monopoly in a hap hazard way and expect the people to pay the cost because they must. AL though there may be no competition within the city, there always will be strong competition between cities and between states. People will learn if business is managed better in other localities and they will move. The city which has good natural resources which it has utilized to the best advantage will attract attention.
 The people of Norwich should not permit the power of the Yantic river to run to waste any longer without an effort to cave it.
 The situation now requires leaders who can take a broad view and act with energy if the city is to regain the place that it once held in affairs
 It is not necessary that a majority of the citizens should become hydrau- lie or electrical engineers, but it is for them to employ those whose advice they can depend upon, and then back them up.
 The new charter should permit the doing of city business in a more sat isfactory manner than the present

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
GREAT STUFF

you're something new, to come to a strange lady and begin talking about her whiskers, and urging her to take some kind of furniture polish for it, when the shelves in this house are loaded down with bottles of all kinds of furniture polish and lfniments and fire extinguishers; all made of herbs and barks and buds or invented by celebrated chemists.
 What surprises me is that agents always have remedies for other peoples aff1ictions and never have any for their own. There was an agent here the other day trying to sell me an Arabian lotion hat would remove tan and frcckles and everything you can think of, and all the time his nose was so red that you could see to read by it in a dark room, and I couldn't help asking him why he didn't get the agency for an Arabian lotion that would bleach out red noses Then he became quite irsoicnt md was saying most ungen- t1G1nanly things when my husband came around the corner of the house and pushed him into the cistern.
 At least five agents come here every day, trying to sell furniture polish and recommending it especially for pianos, and we haven't had a piano in the house since my younger daughter left home to teach school, she having fash- ionabls education, and if we did have a piano I wouldn't want to polish it with the stuff sold by agents, or the piano would be sure to explode or have spontaneous combustion. If an agent came here with . real hair restorer that would make my husbands hair grow, I might buy bottle, for the poor man is very bald and worries over it."
 I'm glad you told me about that" said the agent, hopefully. "This prep aration of Prof. Oppenhausernagle's is just what your husband wants. Let him apply 1t to his scalp before retir- ing"
 'tYou ought to be ashamed of your- self The idea of recommending the same stuff for destroying whiskers and growing hair on the head! You dis perse as fast as you can, mister. or I'll throw some boiling water on you!"-- Chicago News.

He has not been well since last summer, and he is now reported in such a condition that he barely recognizes his friends, thouSh his memory is in the main unfmpaired- Riley is still under 60, and within a few months he issued a new story In verse. As man of letters he is genu- finely representative of the middic west, and he has enjoyed an immense pop- ularity at home. Years ago he was an acceptable lecturer, but he has not been seen on the lecture platform for a long while. The poet is a little man with a most whimsically humorous face, the quality of which is accentuat- ed by his eye glasses. When clean shaven and clad in his best he looks like a clergyman on vacation and re- leased from the pressing and fepress- i've requirements of his calling.
