SITTING AS A JUDGE.

The immigration question is one of great importance to the country and 1t Is with full consideration of this that the president is giving it thor ough consideration before acting on the measure which has passed both houses. When he declared that he was virtually4 sitting as a judge for the consideration of the claims and the briefs of the advocates and opponents of the bill he announced his position and his determination to deal with the matter with full consideration of the justice in the situation. The literacy test has been the bone of contention throughout the progress of the bill through congress. It involves a new restriction to immigrants and it's op- ponents maintained, with considerable strength that it operates against the worthy people. fnasmuch as the pass ing of the literacy test, consisting of reading in this or their own language, does not imply that they will make better citizens for this country
 For. material for the melting pot it is desirable that the scum and crffn- inal class shall be eliminated Upon the presidents rests the important question of signing or vetoing the bill which affects class of people who have been coming to these shores and he is taking a proper course in the study which he is personally making Whatever his decision it is apparent that he intends to proceed with au- thority and allow no provision to slip through which it is known in advance would be regretted, and be unfair,

Let's Boom the City.

MT. Elitor:-As consumer of coal I should like to make a few inquiries about the price and quality of coal here in Norwich.
 How was it that a Providence firm could offer anthracite coal in 20-ton lots, delivered freight paid in any sta ton along the Norwich & Worcester line for s6 a ton when sS was asked for it here; and why should Middle town or New London or Portland, Me, be selling coal for a dollar less a ton than 1t can be bought in Norwich?
 I heard a business man say that there was not a ton of first class coal in Norwich last fall, and it seemed to be time to sit up and take notice.
 I made expert inquiries and found that the corporations of the country buy their coal by the heat units it contains, and pay more or less for 1t according to the amount of ash it con- tains;. and also that the best an- thra cite should leave from to IT per cent. ash the highest per cent com ing from buckWheat and pea coal. From this basis I began to test the coal in my bins, bought as the best in the city and some of 1t costing S9 ton I find it was making about bod of ash and cinders to every three hods burned and by careful estimate I am satisfied that the per cent. of ash in the No. nut and stove sizes is in excess of IT per cent, which spells the poorest coal for the highest prices.
 We have been trying to boom Nor wiehI What booms a city, reasonable prices and good goods or high prices and second or third rate goods Doesn't any system which overtaxes the people tell against a city's ad- vancement, and any system which is reasonable and just tend to build city up? If Norwich is going to be made inviting and is going to grow the people have got to do something besides keeping it's charities on the verge of starvation, throwing s75.000 to a wealthy, dividend-paying con cefn and crying out to the world. See ust"
 It is in the power of no class to boom a town more than it's merchants and manufacturers by just action.

YEAR OF BUILDING ACTIVITY.

The condition of business through out the country is to a large extent reflected by the building operations which are carried on in the various sections The past year did not ere. ate a record in this regard. but it came within close proximity to it when it reached a grand total of $1, Oil 522, = GOO or trif1e over two million less than the big year 1909 when the build ing boom sent the figures up to $1,- G13, 7S6, 900. The return to so near the high mark has its bearing in rela- ton to the demands for new structures which business and development nat lIrally stimulate and shows that the past year has indicated a recovery from the slump which followed the boom of 1909 The good effect of large crops resulted in much building activity in the south where extensive mill construction has been steadily going on from the boost which the good prices from the cotton output brought.
 We were not alone in large building operations for the past year, however, for Canada showed an even greater boom in respect to the population, the development of it's western section fur nishing fertile fields for all construc- ton work. the large number of new settlers demanding extensions of all kinds. Canada erected new buildings to the extent of s202, ,542, 900 which Is a tripling of the operations in 1909 when they amounted to sT6,S45.o0o. The boom there is natural, but it does this country except perhaps to keep it more, alive to-its opportunities and benefit the trade in supplies which are obtained here.

 Would it not be a grand idea to call a meeting of the Hammer club at some convenient time and place and see if we cannot bring them around to our loyal "breadminded' way of giV- ing and boosting and then our city will pass out of the hands of the en- emy into the hands of Prosperity.

CLASSIFICATION OF FOREST
 LAND.

A lengthy investigation of the eues- hon of taxation of woodland in this state having been given. the special commission believes that special classification should be given for this particular class of property. The proper taxation of this class of prop erty from which a yield may be ob- tafned once in long periods of years. varying with the kind of growth, is a question which has aroused much difference of opinion. and many meth ods are in use by assessors at the present time
 Woodland in Connecticut has suf- fered much from the invasion of the sawmill, but it was on property which because of it's stony and hilly char acteristics is liable to remain wood land and grow up again in time to afford it's owners future profits. The classification of this property, con- sisting of about a million and a half acres, in the state, is calculated to give uniformity to the taxation prob lem throughout the state. Another important effect which it is desirable to produce is an increased interest in forestry and the setting out of new forests, which present taxation meth ods discourage because of the unfayor- able outlook. which they create in that business If Connecticut has such a large acreage which is destined to remain non-agricu9tura1 land. the best thing which can be done is to encour- age the reforestation and if it rests with the taxation methods, the c1assi- fcation plan of the commission for overcoming the unjust system should be adopted It is a direction in which the state can afford to give en- cOura cement

CHANGE THE FUEL

Little prospect is offered for reduc- tions in the price of gasolene because of the demand for it greatly exceed ing the supply. The yield of the oil from which it is derived has even shown marked advances and the fu- ture shPpiy depends to 8 large extent upon the discovery of new fields or the lucky strike of big oil wells. It is apparent that the demand for gas
 olene must be relieved by some other
 product, a task to which not a few
 are applying themselves for the benefit Wha0h u1al be, derived
 The New York Commercial well ob-l serves that "A promising field for 4n-
 yentors lies in adApt1ng explosion en :
 or the still heavier products of the
 disti1lation of crude oil This has
 been done successfully in the case of
 stationary and large marine engines.
 and German engine for marine use
 has been pronounced a marvel of ef-s
 diency and economy. If this principle
 could be applied to automobiles and
 small motor boats it would solve the
 problem and at the same time greatly
 help the petroleum trade by creating a demand for those products with which the markets of the world are now glutted. A generation ago the oil refiners were struggling with the problem of what to do with their gas olene. Today they have another yet similar problem in disposing of other products of which they turn out an over-supply in trying to keep pace with the demand fer gasolene"
 This affords engine makers definite course for experiments Fuel oil en- zines are in operation, but a higher degree of perfection making them available for the automobile is neces- sary. Therein lies the chance for a 1 reduction of the cost of fuel for ex- plosive engines. It involves a change of fuel.

ALAsKA,s NEEDS.

There is an important duty which this country must discharge in behalf of the territory of Alaska. It is large contributor to the trade of this country, but it is in great need of fur ther development. There are unlin- ited resources within the confines of the territory which need to be made available. Like undeve1oped sections of this country 1t needs the helpful in 1uence of railroad transportation, a big problem on which a government commission is at work endeavoring to ascertain the best method of secur- ing this. What this section can do under the proper development is best indicated by, what it does today under the serious handicap of being isolated
 Whatever is done concerning trans portation there Is dire need of the introduction of better educational and sanitary methods in that far north land. For the lack of these there is a steady decrease in the population, the death rate being greater than the birth rate, disease having little. oppo- sition.

flies. How about the Barraclough family? The child was not doing wrong for candy and pleasure for herself but for food for herself and her mother, grandmother and the Iit- tie ones. If the selectmen had been as prompt in making the father sup port his family as they were in pun ishing the child the village of Mys- tic might have escaped a scandal. One man was given a light sentence be- cause of his children. Are the select men going to leave children in the care and training of a man who has been convicted of assaulting other chill dren, rich or poor? The One who says: Vengeance is mine never sends revenge, but those children's wrongs will be avenged. I don't blame Mystic people for wanting the whole thing forgotten. I should think most of the men connected with the affair would want their part in it forgotten, but the mothers need to remember to guard their children from them.

Take Care of the Children.

MT. Editor: The sending of Leah Barraclough to the Industrial School until she is 21. or for g years was the right thing to do and the other girls, and also the two boys, should not be allowed to teach other children the things they have learned, but how about the men who taught them? Are they to be welcomed home at the end of a few months and allowed to form a new class? If those men are so feeble minded from old age or nat ural born'' foolishness that they can be led astray to that extent by girl of 12 wears they should be cared for to insure tho safety of the neighbor- hood and if they. are net feeble mind ed no punishment is too severe for. them, Nine years for the girl. eight months for the man.
 The punishment of the men was made light for the sake Of their fam
