NORWICH WANTS BEST RESULTS

NSN WHIT WAN BESl HESOL .
Norwich is everlastingly looking for
the best results from it's city govern
ment and in that it is no different
than any other city. What is wanted
is only reasonable and there should be
a concerted effort to see that it gets
them. To get the best results it is
highly important that there should be
a manifestation Of interest upon the
part of as large a number of the cit
liens as possible instead of leaving
the selection Of its city officials to a
few.
In every department of the city gov
eminent efficient administration of the
duties should prevail Matters cannot
be allowed to go along in a haphazard
sort Of a way. The attitude that
anything goes as long as it gets by is
not a proper conduct of city affairs.
The citizens have an opportunity to
say what shall and what shall not be
endorsed and it is the very business
where they should be the most deeply
concerned. Their opportunity lies in
putting the best men in charge Of the
city government and indicating by
their votes the high standard of re-
suits which are expected.
By the selection Of men of expert
ence in this very line of work, of men
who have served the city faithfully
in just such offices and men who have
made a success of their own business
enterprises, the republicans have
placed before the voters candidates
who should not only draw forth the
support of the party but of the indie
pendent voters who seek to place the
best men in office. With the turning
out of such forces the entire republican
ticket will be assured of success and
the city of a body of officials who are
pledged to handle its business for the
general good.

WARNING TO MEXICO.

President Wilson's communication to
the leaders OF the various fighting fac
tons in Mexico cannot be interpreted
otherwise than warning which should
get respectful attention. There is no
indication of what steps will be taken
if there is no compliance with its de-
mands but it indicates a change in the
attitude of this country which should
not fail to make its impression upon
the Mexican leaders. There has been
q liberation Of conditions in that coun-
try until Mexico has gone from bad to
worse. It has brought about much
suffering and gives absolutely no evil
dence Of Improvement. Whatever Sc
robustness was back Of the movement
for the establishment of reforms has
been lost in the fight which has ensued
gmong those who were successful in
overthrowing the previous government
Reform has been lost sight of in the
struggle for Individual supremacy and
hopeless outlook faces that republic.
From the position which this coun-
try has maintained in the past and the
attitude 1t takes now when as the
warning declares the people of this
country want nothing for themselves
IN Mexico it Is time that those who
hold whatever power is possessed in
that nation placed the interests Of the
country first for the accomplishment
If the ends for which they all pretend
20 be working. It is this which the
United States as a friendly neighbor
Is anxious to help them bring about.
Il has Mexico's welfare at heart and
wants to gain nothing more than the
establishment Of constitutional
government and the rights of the peo-
pie. Matters have gotten to a condi-

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Talk on the calling of an extra ses-
sion Of congress in the fall continues
to prevail. 1t is the natural result Of
the financial conditions which have
followed the putting into operation of
the democratic idea of a tariff for
revenue only. There has been revealed
the inadequacy of this method Of sup
plying the government with the needed
funds even though the country has
undergone new taxation under two diff
ferent tax measures for the bolstering
UP of the income.
In spite of the need which has been
experienced of becoming independent
of foreign producers. in the production
Of dyestuffs especially. there has been
no extensive disposition to establish
factories for meeting the situation and
yet there is no reason for it except
that under prevailing administration
ideas the expenditure for such would
be SO great that few are willing to take
the risk and lose the investment when
foreign product can be poured in with
out restriction and no consideration is
shown to the American manufacturer.
This country can make its own dyes
and can make them satisfactorily but
with the conditions prevailing here
such an industry needs protection to
get on its feet and compete with the
products of foreign labor, and this it
not only does not get but has no as
surance of under democratic policies.
This country is therefore not only han
dicapping it's mills and factories which
have use for colors from which they
have been shut off by the war but it
stands in the way of the development
of such industries at home. The dem
ocratic tariff has been tried and found
wanting and there is much which con-
gress could do in special session to
rectify conditions in this and other
respects.

FRECkLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove
Ther. With the Othine Prescription.

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually SO successful
in removing frecklesN and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by druggists under guarantee to
refund the money If 1T fails.
Don't hide your freckles under q
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful i'm
provement, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine: it is this that
is sold on the money back guarantee.

What is the virtue in a mascot? In
the first place, if it is a live pet, it
gives the men a common source of
amusement and takes their attention
from their own troubles, which are
numerous enough. More important is
the psychological fact that if man
believes he will win, his chances of
doing so are infinitely strengthened.
So it may very we'll be that a white
goose is indispensable to one regiment,
a deer to another. and so on through
miscellaneous array of lucky ere
atures, if these pets are capable of
increasing the belief of the soldiers in
their certainty of success.-Bridge

A committee of prominent Yale grad
yates interested in social service has
recently sent around to the members
of the academic and Shelf senior class
es a circular letter to arouse active
interest among the Yale undergradu
ates in the work which is being done
for the boys of America. The sign
ers of the letter are William H. Taft,
rs, John c. Greenleaf, 1895, Henry H.
Ketcham, IA, Otto T. Barnard, '16,
Henry S. Brooks, 'S6, Alonzo A. Stage,
'8S, and Frederick T. Hill, 81. The
signers are Of the belief that every
Yale man should, as soon as he leaves
college, enlist himself, in one way or
another, in the service of his country
and it often happens that with every
willingness to serve one does not know
just what to do. The letter points out
a number of definite suggestions. One
of the most important factors in de-
termining the future of America is the
guidance and training of the boys who
will soon be numbered among its men.
In the judgment of the authors of the
letter, every graduate of Yale should
make it part of his business to inter-
est himself in some group of boys, and
do his best to make them into efficient
Americans. The committee has sug-
gested opportunities for this national
service by the forming of a boys club,
by interesting ones self in the Boy
Scout movement or the Big Brother
movement in New York city. The rec
reation and camp work in the settle
ments is also suggested by the grad
yates. The country needs all the help
1t can get in influencing the boys of
the coming generation in patriotism,
right thinking and clean living.

1t is pretty early to talk about what
the next Congress will do. Yet there
is a great deal of gossip at Washing
ton as to what is likely to happen
when the legislators come together.
One story is to the effect that the ad-
ministration will take up some of the
measures which failed to get through
the late Congress, notably the bill
granting independence to the Philip
pines. But it is well to remember
and the administration is pretty GER
tain to discover-that the sixty fourth
Congress will not be as subserviant as
was the siXty-third. And even that
body Kicked over the traces on sew
eral occasions. The next Congress
will not have so large a Democratic
majority as it's predecessor, and a
good many of the members may come
with a somewhat chastened spirit. -

President Wilson tells us good news
when he says that his cabinet is with
him in regard to the stand that is to
be taken with Germany. There has
been a general disposition to believe
that Secretary Bryan was a peace-at

policy of spineless submission that
would humiliate US as nation for all
time. But it now appears that he is
the author, according to the president
of the most trenchant paragraph in the
note sent to Germany. We begin to
think better of Mr.. Bryan than ever
before. Perhaps in the stress of his
country's need he can drop his 'isms"
and stand up a patriot and a safes

At the request of several of the

At the request of several of the
large preparatory schools, arrange
ments have been made by the dean to
furnish to each school a list of the
men from that school and from other
schools who have received honors
elected to Phi Beta Kappa, or failed of
promotion. 1t has also been suggested
that it might be possible to publish
these lists. The idea is to keep the
schools more closely in touch with
their men at college and also by in
forming them as to the records made
by men from other schools to increase
the competition, and thus raise the
standard of scholarship. The head
masters of the more important pre-
paratory schools have been asked their
opinion of the plan, and are almost
universally in favor of it. The plan
will stimulate interest in the scholar
ship standard of the university before
the men enter and will also serve as

The WiIlisbrook track meets held
this year were successful throughout.
The entries were plentiful and the re-
suits gratifying, but the competition
was not as keen as in former years
The points gained were fairly well di-
Vided, with but q few exceptions. The
contests were held about once a week
during the winter in the cage, and in
the spring they were held on the field.
This year for-the first time there were
special events for the freshmen These
were in the two mile, mile and half
mile runs. The idea to have these
special events and to offer CUPS for
the first three places in each event
was to stimulate more interest in the
freshman class for track, and to help
build up material for the university
team in the following year. Only one
contest was held in the half mile run
but there was fairly good competition
shown on the whole and the results
were satisfactory. Cups will be award
ed to IS men, the three leaders in the
Is events. F. M. Hampton, 1918, was
the highest point winner, placing first
in the broad jump with 81 points and
first in the high jump with 10 points.
These contests have been made posi-
BILE by a fund to be used for the pro-
motion of the track activities among
the undergraduates. Members of the
university teams are not allowed to
compete in the events.
