CITY NEEDS CHANGE.

The best indication of the success of municipal administration comes from the satisfaction which the cit tzens express concerning it. When that satisfaction is not forthcoming either from lack of efficiency and proper recognition of economy, or the build ing up of patronage nothing can be ex- pectsd but a desire on the part of the citizenship of any community for a change in the method of conducting it's business Satisfaction is demanded in public office and it Is necessary in order to obtain it that the welfare Of the city shall be foremost in the minds of those to whom the task is entrusted
 Norwich has the opportunity next Monday to correct many of the CT TOTS of commission and omission which characterize the city govern ment by the placing in the council and in office men who are committed 10 bettering conditions. The republi- can ticket contains the names of men who can be depended upon to get the city onto a basis of economy and eff ciency. Such is their purpose in go- ing before the people and such will be their object if elected. All are men of integrity and known ability. prop erly qualified for assuming and carry ing 10 success such a task. Their cleo ton will mean the assurance of a bus inesslike administration of the city government of Norwich. a fearless rec ognition and discharge of a well un- derstood duty to their fellow citizens

PEACE IS BEST.

Inability to get together and sign the treaty of peace by the Balkan states at the conclusion of their successful war against Turkey leaves the war cloud lowering over that section of the world as menacing as ever. As far as Turkey is concerned the fight is ended. but 1t is the division of the spells which now threatens to engage the countries in a war amongst them selves. Bulgaria has borne the brunt of the war and she will receive the largest share of the territory gained by conquest. including Adrianople and the important land concessions extend ing to the Agean sea with a command ing position whenever her ambition rises to the point of seeking Constan- tinople.
 The other states have nobly re- sponded to their duty. Greece has looked well after the southern end of European Turkey and taken two de- sirabIe cities while Servia gave ex- cellent assistance in the capture of Monastir and other valuable points in Macedonia and Montenegro showed her mettle in the fight against Scutari. reach an amicable agreement. Greece and Servia cannot be denied posses sion of territory which they have gained. They are certainly entitled to a share in the spoils and the ad- vocates of peace can well impress this upon the Bulgarian diplomats. It is time for peace. especially among friends

RETAILING PATENTED ARTICLES.

By carrying it to the supreme court of the United States for a final de- cisien a matter of much importance to the people at large has been deter mined in relation to the sale of pat ented articles of which the manufac- turer has maintained the right to es- tablish the retail price For long time this has been a question of much importance to the mercantile inter ests of the country and the decision is therefore one of widespread value. It is timely that there should be a de- termination of the contention and an esta blishment of the fact whether a retailer has the right to fix his own selling price on patented commodities, or containers for which he has paid the price demanded. The position of the manufacturer claiming that he had the right to control the price to the retail trade is overthrown, and this monopoliStic control broken, in a way which is in accord with common sense.
 This question has arisen in many lines of trade and has for years occu- pied the attention of the lower courts and resulted in various adjustments of the questions involved, between manufacturer and retailer, but the ac- tion of the supreme court affords a basis for many changes in the future, which have long been needed. The de- cision gives the retailer the right to dispose of his goods as he pleases, at a loss or at a profit. and maintains that when the manufacturer gets what he demands for his product his control thereof ceases. The patent does not regulate the retail price

PRESIDENT AND THE LOBBY.

In view of the widespread opposition which there is in many lines of in auStry throughout the country which of course is not expected to submit passively; 1t is perhaps natural that President Wilson should be worried ever the presence and the arguments of these who are interested in these different pursuits which premise to be injured by the proposed tariff. This realization of such opposition to his free trade policy. combined with the fact that such a policy is not a de- mand of the majority of the people does not, however. justify the attack upon 1t as an fnsidieus lobby. With his realization of the strong epposi tion to many of the proposals In the bill he must recognize the fact that there are two sides to all questions and that those who happen to take an opposite view are entitled to have their opinions respected. particularly if they have gone through the import ant school of experience and know whereof they speak.
 Against 8 corrupt lobby the presi- dent would have the backing of the best sentiment of the land. but it can hardly be construed that those who are looking after the legitimate man ufacturing interests of the country which are vitally concerned by tariff changes, as are their employees. are deceitfui Whether the attack will serve to keep the democratic senators in line with the party policy or wheth- CT they will weigh the arguments and demands of those affected will soon be determined The importance of getting both sides of the question, however, must be recognized.

Are You Satisfied?

MT. Editor: Well. taxpayers. we are going to have another city election before long. Are you satisfied with the conditions as handed out to you by the present administration the past year? How does the conditions of the streets appeal to you? How much of your hard earned tax money has been wisely used? How much did Alder man Gebrath and Councilman Fowler get and how much harder did they work for it than you did to earn it to pay your taxes. so they could get theirs?. How about the gas and cleo trical department? Are you satisfied with present conditions there? How about the story that th3 Uncas Power company wants it? Any truth in 1t. or was the change in the number ee commissioners dene to keep the de- partment out of politics?
 It would lock from the present. standpoint of the commissioners ap- pointed by the mayor as if he had endeaIered to eliminate everything the assurance that there was nothing of political nature to be allowed in the depa rtment.
 Have you found out who is the. fa- ther of the i've commissioners bill? New, taxpayers. if yeu are satisfied to work hard to pay your taxes, and let the present conditions go on, why, just stay at home election day and let them have their own way, and do nor feel bad when you get your tax bill from Collector Robinson, but step right up to the office and settle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Government Must Be Economical and
 Skilfui te Be Satisfactory.

Mr. EGiter. I would like to inquire whether the people of Norwich are being munieipally governed ih a busi- ness like way? Are the different de- parthents being run on economical lines? For instance. why Is it neces- sary to have three high salaried men sitting in the city barn to look after the horse equipment2 A short time ago only one man was needed for that position. Is this department a drop ping place for political plums when the tree is shakenf The men employ ed on the streets are plainly inefficient. The most marked characteristic Of each Is a capacity for doing the least work for the money, and the result is poorly kept-up streets, badly rutted, and traffic must be jolted and knocked about in going over them. But yet the department has spent over $50,000 and wishes $60.000 for the next year. Someone else wishes job. perhaps, necesSitating the extra amount. To get at this waste. get to the root, i. e., the appointing. This is done by the common council. and the democratic council elected last year are responsi : ble for the appointment, and thereby indirectly for the wanton waste. There fore, to get the municipal affairs into order and an economical system, elect competent men to the common coun- eil

MEMORIAL nav

Marking as it does half century of one of the years of the civil war. the observance of today as Memorial day. in respect to the memory of those who fell in battle or through sickness at the front, and in honor of all those who needed the call to the service of their country. deserves the partict pa ton of not only the members of the Grand Army but of all those men. women and children who through the patriotic sacrifice of the old soldiers are today enjoying the greatest priv ieEe of any country in the world There Is every reason for manifesting a deep interest in keeping alive the memories of those who so ValiantIy sacrificed their lives, and in decking their graves yearly with flowers and the holding of exercises it is but slight recompense. yet it should never he al lowed to suffer for lack of respect and attention. It is> a memorial service in which each and all can participate with thoughtful recollection and pom der well it's lesson.
 To the veterans this day, of all days brings back memories of the great struggle. and fallen comrades. which mark the greatest internal contest in this country's history. Gradually the active participation of the old sol diers in the Memorial day exercises is lessening- The ranks are thinning at the rate of one a daysin this state, yet so firmly must become established this yearly custom that not only the Sons of Veterans, but the citizens will show the proper patriotic spirit in it's main- tenance.
