HARCER is in RACE
Abilene Editor Announces For
mally for Congress.
Looks Like He Will Have Clear
Field in Primaries.

Formal announcement of the can
didacy of Charles NJ. Harger of Abb
Iene as Republican congressional
candidate in the Fifth district was
MADE today through the Clay Center
Dispatch, one of the strong Republican
papers of the district. While no direct
statement STATE n is made by Harger at this
authority that the Abilene editor will
enter the fight.
The candidacy of Harger has been
assumed by Fifth district leaders for
seYeral months. In political circles,
almost since the 1915 Kansas Day club
banquet, it has been known that Har-
ger would take chips in Fifth district
afralrs next year and that he would
announce his plans in due time For
that reason, the friends of the Abilene
man nave been setting the Fifth dis
trlct stage in a manner that will pre-
clpltate as little trouble as possible.
Lineup Is Uncertain.
Just at this time the lineup in the
republican primaries for next year is
bit uncertain. Several counties have
talked of favorite sons who might
aspire for congressional nomination,
but from none of them has come
direct announcement. Senator Walter
Z. Wilson of Washington county, one
of the strongest possibilities in the
district, has stated that he will not
also doubtful if either w. A Calder
head of Marysville or Judge Sam Kim
BILE of Manhattan will make another
fight for a nomination. For that rea-
son, Harger at this time appears to
have long odds for a clear field in the
1916 primaries.
Among both Republicans and Pro-
gressives of the district there is a de-
sire for Congressman Guy T. Helver-
ing's scalp. This sentiment is not
without quiet sympathy in a few
Democratic localities and the fight to
beat Helvering next year will be made
Independent of fractional fights, if
possible.
Harger is widely known in the Fifth
district. He is the editor and pub
Usher of the Abilene Reflector, has
for a number of years been a popular
magazine contributor and is rated as
one of the most able publishers in the
state. During the Hodges administra-
ton, Harger was appointed minor
ity member of the state board of cor
rectiOnS. When Mrs J. NJ. Miller, a
was named to succeed w. |
L. Brown, Democrat, Harger was
elected chairman of the new Re
publican board.

would he go into the stock raising
business
If we have been depending on Mr..
Botkin's good old way of the olden
time has it not proved that it is not
only a failure but a murderous
failure?
1t has gotten to be favorite cry.
when there is nothing else that it is
sa fe to cry about, that we have too
many laws.
But this is always in general terms.
Why not point out the special laws
that are useless A law reposes quiet
ly unaggreSsively between the covers
of a book until it is violated, so after
these laws are made they are generally
harmless, but where the reform ought
to start is in preventing a waste OF
time and money in legislative enact
ment of these laws.
More Regulation Demanded.
Conditions under our present civil
ization demand much more regulation
than did those of the olden day.
Much of this that is complained of
as useless supervision is directed hui
namely and intelligently at the better
ment of the race, and it is not only
useless but it is a crying need.
OF course many will agree that there
seems to be a waste of money in
of offices and officers,
that government should be simplified
and that the cost is increasing more
than are good results, that we are not
getting dollar for dollar in returns.
But that is a condition that is quite
largely IN the hands of the officers
If the officers neglect their sworn
official duties while campaigning at
the states expense for another office
or for another term then the work
must be mangaged in some way, either
by the supervision of boards, high
priced clerks, a multiplicity Of officers
Or the creation of new boards.
Indeed it would seem that instead of
doing away with the old boards that
We ought to have circulating sort of
political board to take care of any Of
ice while the holder thereof is max
ng his campaign before the people.
This would prevent the work of the
office from falling behind and would
BE quite a boon to the conscientious
who has the interest of
he people at heart.

When cold grips your system It IS convincing proof that your condition is weakened-remember that. Itis risky indeed to simply trust your strength to throw it of, because neglected colds have brought more serious sickness than any other one thing, while weak ening ngcatharticsand stimulating ngsyrups are often depressing and dangerous.

BRING HOME THE SOLDIER DEAD
Raising of Fund Was Advocated in Norwich Fifty Years Ago Sixty Names Roll For New Military Company Two Norwich Banks Declared Dividends Burglars Were Little Rewarded at Norwich Town.

Tine memory of our dead demands a tribute and we cannot neglect to pay for it, said the Norwich Bulletin hEty years ago this week. The statement referred to the soldiers who had given up their lives for their ceun- try and who lay buried in the South. A movement was advocated to raise a fund to be used to bring home the soldier dead and give them a resting place and burial as they deserved. Dividends were declared by two Nor wich banks that week. The First Na- tiona1 bank declared a semi annual dividend of per cent free of gov ernmerit tax and the Uncas National a dividend of 4 1-2 per cent free or tax. The death of Asa Fitch. one of the xealthiest men in this part of the state. was chronicled in the Bulletin columns, the same week. Extracts from the files of 1865 are as follows:
 Monday, Oct 30, 1S65.--Of the brave boys who went from Norwich to the war and laid down their lives for their country on the. battlefield or in the prison pen, the bodies of several have already been recovered and brought home for interment, but there are some whose bones yet lie in Virginia Georgia and other southern states. In many cases their buried spots are so marked that 1t would not be difficult to recover their bodies and bring them home for interment. We are doing what we can for the discharged sol- diers, are granting pensions to the disabled, and relieving the necessi- ties of the widows and orphans, but our duties do not stop there; the mem ory of our dead demands tribute and we cannot neglect to pay it. An eff fort to raise money for the purpose in dicateo above. we hope will be made this week and a sufficient sum raised to secure the object.
 Offer increased Salary.
 The Universalist Society have in creased the amount of salary they of- fer Rev. MT. Johnson of Baltimore to nu1n.

Warden FilIey Advises Town Fire
 Wardens On the Law.

WANT TO MAINTAIN
 ORGANIZATION


 (Continued from Page Seven) chandise needs of the people living in the territory under consideration and as it is along the line of economy it should appeal to the trading public. It Is we'll known fact that the price of any commodity Is regulated by the cost of the article plus the cost of con- ducting the business of selling 1t. In the larger cities of the country. owing to the higher cost of doing business. the percentage which must be added to the first cost of the merchandise, is greater than it is in city the size of Norwich. Here rents are low, light ing is cheap, advertising. delivery and the other expenses of conducting bus mess are considerably less than in other cities like Hartford, Worcester, Providence and Boston and this fact enables Norwich merchants to offer their goods at correspondfngly lower prices.
 It is only fair for the people of any community to patronize the home market as far as possible; but those who live in the smaller towns and vil- lages. or out on the farm. find that there are many things which the vil- lage store cannot supply. If the home market has not what they want then they must seek some market that can supply their needs and that is where Norwich, with its large and varied SOCKS or I1GICnt1I1u4S6s tIS 1dAE dHd reasonable prices and it's accessibility by trolley, which in our day is the most convenient and economical method of travel. should take it's place as the logical trading center, for all the territory within radius of 30 miles.
 Should Continue Plan.
 It is possible that we have not yet evolved the right plan for conducting a successful merchants week. 1n- ducements, other than the attractions that we have been able, so far to of fer, may have to be considered before the movement has been developed to a. condition that is deemed satisfac- tory to those concerned in it's promo tion; yet I believe that we will he justified in continuing our efforts along these lines. and that in each succeeding movement, if we profit by the experience gained during past ef- forts we will find it much easier to obtain satisfactory results.
 Secretary kronis's Report. Secretary Leo Kronig made his re- port as follows:
 Merchants week is now past and every merchant knows whether or not the movement has benefited his bus mess. Norwich as a city surely has been well advertised and if the week has not resulted in good immediate business, there Is no doubt but later results will evidence themselves sub stantially.
 The various committees worked
