NEEDS A PROMPT CHECK.

When David Lamar revealed to the lobby investigation committee that he was the impersonator of congressmen in behalf of legislation for the pur- pose of helping a friend, it was ap- parently with a keen bit of satisfac- tion that he related his quick change theatrical role. The manner in which he related his experiences carried with 1t the impression that he was also calmly inquiring. What are you going to do about it?"
 There have been some revelations made as the result of the inquiry and the end is not yet The amazing tale of Lamars and the part he has been playing calls for a substantiation of the facts and steps which will put a stop to such practices. It is bad enough to have a corrupt lobby in existence without mixing up into it the innocent congressman by such a method as Lamar has confessed to have adopted. He has been guilty not only of a fraud. but of playing the game at both ends It is a scheme for blackening the names of guiltless men and an attack upon congress. How far it might be carried depends upon the success which might attend it. Lamar by his own word is guilty of a practice which it should be possible to punish in a man. ner to prevent others from engaging therein again.

:. CITY COURT JUDGES.

No stronger argument in behalf of the appointment of judges by the gov ernor for the purpose of removing those officers from partisan pickering could be advanced than the spectacle which has been caused by the dead- lock in the general assembly and the contests which are following the nam ing of the officials by the chief execu- tive because the legislature failed to act. Throughout the session of the general assembly the strongest efforts were made in behalf of candidates for the many offices for the payment of political debts Inability to agree brought forth the opinion of the at torney general that the governor hId the authority under existing law to name the officials His course in nam ing them and the resulting contests in Hartford Middletown and Greenwich, with double sessions of court, all night sessions s,d the busting of one off, cial by another, for the purpose of getting the office, is all part of the preliminary action for testing the cor stitutionality of the governors power in this situation.
 Whatever the result of that inter pretation through the supreme court of errors 1t only serves to strengthen the contention that the judges of the po- lice courts should be named in accord ance with the plan adopted for the se- lection of superior court judges. IL is an important office in which judi cial qualifications rather than party faithfulness shoul be recognized.

BOARD OF TRADE PLArFofsM.

The suggestion which was advanced Ito the Board of Trade this week by President Sampson of the municipal service bureau. in advocacy of a def : nite patform was one which is deserv- ing of more than passing notice. For an organization of the character of the board of trade there is value attached to the fixing of definite goal and working for its attainment with as much additional effort as circum- stances and time will permit. It is vthe idea ofA a platform which meas ures the importance of the organiza- ton and its work. It is not reasonable to suppose that everything which the board might do for the benefit of the city during one year could be antici. pated, but there are certain ends to which it could get, better and quic.ser
 with a definite task set for accomplish
 ment. It is far better to pursue a few problems to solution than to sug-
 gest many and let action upon them
 drop when something else appears
 Mir. Sampson has offered an idea
 from which the board and the city
 should profit and it must be reeog-
 nized that it is in accordance with
 good business. What will stir up in-
 terest, confidence and cooperation in
 behalf of the needs of Norwich is the
 tonic which has virtue and it should he
 adopted It is well that there should
 be an organization which will stand
 for the welfare of the community, but
 it is important that it pursue a fixed
 course for the best results. Lending influence has its worth but setting ont
 for definite objects and getting them, is better. It interests not the members, but the entire community, and elicits their sympathy and aid.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Honor.

There is hardly a feeling in the hu- man breast as praiseWorthy as honor. It is the best form of self-respect. It is manliness or woma nliness raised to the highest power. It Is character consummate. It is the true founda- ton of business success, the basis of any happy marriage, and, altogether, the cleanest, brightest and sol5dest moral metal in the spirit of man.
 Naturally, so good thing must be stolen by scoundrels for their counter felt schemes. Sos we find some of the meanest, most selfish and caddish sentiments labeled honor"
 There is large portion of the worlds population who still believe that it is honorable to be endowed, to be idle and to be useless. So far it has never been the custom to dub farm hand or machinist the hon orable MT. So-and-So." Yet work is more honorable than sport, and earn ing money than getting 1t from your rich uncle.
 But perhaps the worst inversion of the meaning of honor appears when the term Is applied to nations
 It seems to be honorable to spend billions preparing for war. but dis honorable to make plans for the set ting of international disputes by arbi- tration,
 It seems to be honorable to lie, quib- ble and bluster when the terms of a treaty turn cut to our disadvantage and dishonorable to adjust the matter by anieable consultation and rear engagement
 When you hear a man blew about honor it Is time to inquire just what brand of honor he means.

CHANGE OF METHOD MOST VAL.
 LIABLE

Several states have been concerned with investigations and prosecutions of legislators this year for bribery in con nectfon with the selection of United States senators. West Virginia has suffered in common with others in this regard and the conviction of State Sen afor Smith on the charge of accepting s@.oo0 for his vote is only one of the several cases which are pending in that wtafe The lesson of this case should have an excellent effect upon politics fn West Virginia and likewise other Efates. but while regard for the law ls dernanded it is gratifying to know that the necessary number of states have taken the necessary action to abolish such temptations in the future txr placing the selection of United states senators in the hands of the m3rcforate. This does not abolish the possibility of bribery but 1t so great .- ie~sens ifs effectiveness that lit- . use is liable to be made of 1t.
