BAND CONCERTS.

This is the season of the year when pleasant days and warm evenings re- v1ve the thoughts of band concerts.
 It has been several summers since Norwich has had the pleasure of a series of outdoor concerts, but now, with two bands in it's midst, it would seem possible to stir up enough in- tsFest to give the movement a push, evan thus early in the summer The city charter does not allow the city government to go into such entertain ment, it has been held, but such need not deter the citizens from securing one of the most popular and delight ful forms of outdoor entertainment.
 The public has the opportunity 10 express its approval of the summer concerts by providing the means for holding them and generosity has been freely manifested in this respect on many previous occasions Subscrlp- tions have been received from many sources in the past, with liberal con- tributions from individuals and busi- ness houses and stores, which natur- ally get a benefit from the crowds. Nothing helps city more than some such form of public entertainment, and it is believed that a series of ten arranged for the summer would fill a long felt want, mean something to take up at least one evening a week and create an interest in doing some thing and maintaining the boom for Norwich. Many other and larger cit ies find them means of inspiration 10 social and personal improvement.

A CHANCE FOR VEroEs

Congress has passed two matters which are attracting much public at tention from the fact that there is a likelihood that the president will veto both of them. These are the army appropriation bill and the legislative appropriation bill both of which are very important. and in the main would be signed, but they contain riders which have evidence of being against good judgment. In the army appro- priation bill a direct attack is made on Major General Wood of the army and if the bill passes it will mean his removal from office next March By his conduct in office as chief of staff of the army he has aroused the jealousy and enmity of many who seek his downfall and they are taking a contempbble method of accomplishinE 1t.

plsPLAclNe THE HORSES.

Every year witnesses a great change in the methods of transportation, and 1t is noticeable what an important part
 the motor truck is taking in every city, It is fast replacing the horse
 drawn vehicle. though, of course. 1t will never completely relegate the horse to the country or the backwoods. There is an economic value which has
 to be considered in the displacement of
 the horse, and it is on that account that the change is so rapidly taking place. The motor driven truck travels faster. carries heavier loads and works without fatigue.
 A single horse attached to a one ton wagon, at best cannot cover more than twenty-two miles a day, half of l which is usually made without a load, 1 and while the ordinary team is cover ing four miles the motor truck will | cover eighteen, thus being able to make
 delivery at a much greater distance | in much less time, or complete the l round of delivery of several teams in the same or less time that one team would be covering it's given portion 1 of the city. With the motor truck in operation it makes little difference
 whether it is hot or hold. rainy or
 snowy, there is no danger of cruelty or neglect tor animals and 8 sick car
 can invariably be put into commission very quickly The faithful horse has
 for a long time carried the load and

THE PRICE OF JOY.

That was an excellent idea which was carried out last year for the pur- pose of giving the neglected children of the city an outing and an auto ride and it is proving to be popular meth cd of giving orphan children a day of cheer in many other places. It is the most attractive form of outing that can be given them at the present time as it is the most to be desired, and therefore the most satisfying contri- button that can be made to their hap piness. It is a practice which can be continued with profit. Not only is it an admirable method of providing one happy day, but it is likewise a cheap and quickly arranged plan, for most of the auto owners who can spare their car are only too glad to con- tribute its use to such an excellent purpose. Such generosity always helps both those who give as well as those who receive. Though the cost is all most nothing. the rewards are sure | and lasting, and it is peculiar that there are not more such excursions arranged during the summer season.
 One experience in the carrying out of such a programme of happiness is enough to show by the results of d | ride in a magic chariot filled with merry children. how little is the price of joy. Such treat often counts for more than the effort which is long | planned and requires much tireless work. The outing of the orphans and neglected, means more than a years beautiful memory. With joy so cheap
 ought there not to be a generous re- l sponse to the call, should it come?

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

Stuff" exclaims Dr. John Brown, in his Horae SUbsecivae. These word mongers know nothing about it. Live, love; that is 1t, the perfect of live"
 l agree with the old man; that the word love is the perfect tense of the word live; in the face of all the ety. mologists and dictionary makers; and that if 1t isn't it ought to be.
 The theologians used to say that love Is not one of Gods attributes, like omnipotence, omnipresence, and the like; for the Scriptures do not say that God is loving, but that He is love; and therefore love is God Him self, His very nature, and no quality; a very true and well taken point.
 So likewise I affirm that love is not merely one of life's functions; love is llfes very self. Where there is no love there is no life, but a poor himu- lacrum of life.
 A man Is never fully born into the understanding of the world until he loves; and as soon as love ceases and dries up in him he is dead. dead as doornail; ever after that, until they bury him, he is but a sapless, leafiess, fiowerless, fruitless tree.
 Ay, Dr. John Brown, you are right as q trivet. q think love is a verb, you say, and I think it must have been originally the Perfect of Live like thrive, throve, and strive, strove.' Love is truly the Prefect, the Perfec- ton. of Living. It is the water of the River of Life that gushes out from beneath the Great White Throne, and our throats are continually athirst for

RETALIATION NEEDED.

Ever since the preferential primary was started it has been very evident that there is a wide field for improve ment and in the securing of a uniform action by all the states. As it is at the present time, about every state having it in operation works it differ ently. This is most evident by the results in Massachusetts, Maryland, and California, and the last instance brought a conflict between the state authority and the national republican party, which has stood always for dis trict representation and against unit rule in states. IL means a conflict of authority, with unit rule as the bone of contention; and in deciding the one district in California, the national committee held to it's prescribed rules. It brings up another important question which must be thrashed out sooner or later. In regard to it, the Springfield Republican says "The episode illustrates the fact that the introduction of the presidential prefer eutial primary system has at the same time introduced political confusion and that if the primary system is 10 survive and be extended throughout the country, there must be a reorgan- ization of the bases of representation in national conventions. Indeed, it is difficult 10 see how any unity can be brought about, unless congress takes over the entire authority to enact pres idential primary laws and proceeds also to regulate by federal law the entire system of eleeting presidents through the activities of political par ties. As everyone knows. the federal constitution is silent regarding par ties, although American history under the constitution has been a history Q, government by parties"

To be so conscious of nerves as to want to converse about them is to be unconscious of other things of more importance.
