CIRCULATION
IMPROVE FRANKLIN STREET.

With the many important matters coming before # tonight. the city meet ing should not forget the importance of giving careful consideration to ths needs of Franklin street, which is one of the much used thoroughfares in the business section Of the city. Opening directly on of Franklin square, 1t has Bong been neglected, and the action of the city in carrying out its obligations ss awaited in the making of valuable Improvements there.
 Franklin street has a narrow and congested entrance into the square Every foot that can be added to the street and walk there is going to be or great future benefit There is only one time when such a change can req ,sOnably be made and that is before i'm movements to adjoining property are carried out and prohibit the change because Of the additional expense. In the interest of better streets, economy and a distribution of the benefits from public improvement. now is the time 10 give attention to Franklin street for a portion of the distance at least.
 There is an obligation resting upon the city. made eight years ago, to widen the street from Durkee lane south. It has been carried out as far as the Hartley property is concerned, but no other work has been attempted and the neglect of the street continues. The combining of the widening with the improvement of the pavement would be a display of good business policy and mean the wiping away of a long-standing debt.

TIME HE WAS IGNORED.

When the republican national com- rnittee decided to entirely ignore the v.triolic statement of President Roosevelt concerning the action upon the two delegates from the Ninth dis trict of Alabama, it was the best kind Of judgment Naturally, there was much resentment at his declarations. but they were intended to fire up the committee and involve it in a contro- versy with the big-game hunter, who is never happy unless he is dictating and being obeyed- He has gained his greatest notoriety out of his meritless attacks on whatever stood in his way and to attack the committee now is simply carrying out the programme which was arranged when the contest ing Of delegations started
 Now he Is anxious 10 start for the convention, and. like Finn. stubbs and others. it would not be surprising if hc endeavored to get a proxy and sit with the national committee. These men hope Co get in st the committee meetings so that they can bulldoze the members into standing and yielding delegates chosen regularly for Taft. into the Roosevelt hopper. The com mittee. however is three 10 one against them, and can be relied 10 turn aside any bulldozing methods, notwithstand ins the flourish or trumrets which will greet the Colonel when he arriyes. When he goes to Chicago he climaxes the dozen or more times he has changed hls mind on statements made con corning himself his opinions and ac- 1icns.

INTERVENTION IN CUBA

T. is Co oe hoped that there is only ta.s in the statements of Senator Nel- son Of Minnesota and Bacon Of Geor- Eil made to the senate concerning fine situation in Cuba and Mexico. To tEink for a minute that mining and sugar interests are back of the pres ent rebelious for the sake of getting the United States 10 intervene is cause for serious consideration. Amer ican capitalists have a perfect right to place their money where they will, but there is not the least reason for be- lieving that the country should be expected to make the investment a paying one.
 The Cuban situation is growing worse instead of better. and it seems impossible to keep the American troops out of the island, though they will land simply as a protection to property. Anything further than that is against the wishes of this country Intervention will be ordered only when it Is evident that the trouble cannot be put down in any other way This country does not want Cuba. T. is not seeking to extend its territorial limits and. least Of all. should the mainte- nance or an armed force be expected there for The purpose Of enrichinR tht interests vhicn are located there Tn, army and navy is not being maintained 70 increase ihe number of million aires.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

'What.is your system man asked me. What he meant, as you would know if you had heard the rest of the conversation, was, what particular cult, sect, philosophy, and so forth do you belong to-
 The question reveals a prevalent er- TOT. It is that some System of truth must be true. Quite the contrary! No
 System is true Only single facts, in dividual laws and the like are true. The minute you begin to make a System, whether a religious creed or philosophy, you leave off asking the
 only question worth while, What Is true? and begin to ask only, What fits the structure l am rearing? That is why every Ism is full of de- fective timber. There are weak spots in socialism, anarchism, nationalism. Romanism Protesantism Judaism and all other lsms.

EXPORTS OF rYPEWRITERs.

One of the lines in which this coun- try is the leader in the export trade
 is that of typewriters, the develop
 ment in that line being typical of many
 other intricately constructed and deli cately adjusted machines of American manufacture. For 15 years the expor- tation of typewriters has steadily in-
 creased, so that for the present fiscal year ending with this month the ex-
 ports of typewriting machines will
 reach a million month. This ac- counts for the great development of
 typewriter factories. The extent to which American typewriters are f1nd-
 ing favor even in the great manufac-
 turing centers of Europe, as well as Tn less advanced parts of the world, Is shown from the growth in exports by
 countries when the amount sent to
 the United Kingdom is three and a
 half times as large now as il
 was 15 years ago, while to France the increase has been about twelve times
 while to Germany the exports this year are five times as large as 15 years ago.
 Most of the typewriters exported
 from here are sent to Europe where | business and industry have long been
 in a state of high development. Tn ! certain of the newer communities such as Canada, Argentina and Aus tralia, this class of manufacture finds
 a large and growing market To be 1 able to maintain such large and in- creasing exportation is one of the best | indications of the supremacy Of the
 American machines and a development in that line above other countries
 American computing machines also
 are favored on about the same scale The typewriter manufacturers are par ucularly important to several centers | in this state.

CLEANUP WEEK.

In theinauguration of cleanup week in Norwich, this week, the beginning of an effort which should have been started long ago is set in motion and combined with a determination to oth- erwise beautify the city at the same time, In cleaning up 1t should be re- membered by the cleaners that the sticking up of certain pieces of prop erty and dumping the refuse and gleanings over the fence or across the read on to someone else's property is not the spirit which should be mani tested in the campaign. The city Is prepared and intends to cooperate in the work of removal of the debris, and it can do much more by cleaning or covering up many of the dumps. Everyone should join forces in the cru- sade against dirt and rubbish and make of Norwich a spotless town.
 Combined with 1t in the beautifica- tiOn many instances are already no- ticed of lawns made more attractive and flower gardens and piazza boxes under way. This is something which can be carried on throughout the year the same as the fly crusade. Every thing seems to be moving not only for a cleaner but a healthier town, and it should not be allowed to lag. In a number of southern cities the work of bettering the cities is carried on by Civic Improvement clubs. and civic alphabets like the following from the Atlanta Constitution are found advan- tageous:
 A-Aim to make Arbor day annual clean -up' day.
 B-Banish the tin can district from your city
 C-Clean up back yards and alleys.
 D-Destroy rubbish by burning.
 E-Educate housewives to demand clean markets.
 F-Fine every club member who does not work.
 G-Give free lectures upon civic i'm provement
 H-Have campaign against un- slightly billboards.
 I-Interest city authorities in cleanup day.
 J-Join all forces for the anti dirt crusade.
 K-Kill sidewalk splitting or 1t will kill you.
 L-Let your slogan be Do 1t for home, sweet home"
 M-Make requests of preachers for "clean-up' sermons.
 Next to godliness is cleanliness.
 P-Plant trees, and then plant trees, and plant more trees. Q-Question authorities about city expenditures. R-Remember to plan parks and piaygrounds now. S-Study city ordinances and work for their enforcement. Try to make the school build- ings social centers. U-Use every effort to arouse cit- izens
 V--vanquish the opposition with good nature.
 W-Wage increasing war upon all weeds, flies and mosquitoes. X-Xact obedience to the city san iiary laws.
 Y-Your city is YOU; never forget that
 Z-Zeal courage and patience will cleanup the city.
 &-And these are good sentiments tc keep in mind in Norwich.

satisfactory business of it. We can see only one truth at a time; usually only a piece of that
 And if they be real truths that we see, very often they contradict one another and won't fit at all into the same system.

 A kitchen without a gas range can blot out the blue of summer skies with it's heat and drudgery.
