ONE SHOULD BE ENOUGH,

With altogether too much frequency do there come reports of banks being forced to close their doors. A few days ago it, was one in the middle west and now there is announced the suspension of a banking house in Georgia and the placing of its affairs in. the hands of the comptroller of the currency. If in this case, as it is in- tirnated, it will be possible after the affairs of the bank have been straight ened- out for 1t to continue business there are reasons for satisfaction over the fact that such step as has been taken has been made at this time.
 That the comptroller has been aware of its condition is indicated by the statement which he makes when he says: Its failure is due to continued mismapagement, the tying up of it's capital and deposits in loans to it's sresident, vice president, cashier and

MUST STOP THE RLuNDERs.

Whatever may be the full object of Lord Kitchener's visit to the near east, whether it eventually means a trip into Egypt and India, there can be no question but what his services are much needed in securing the proper cooperation and organization among the allies for the big task that lies before them in the Balkans.
 Germany, Austria and Bulgaria have driven back the SerTians steadily, even though it has been at a great sacri- fee. They have partially attained the object of their drive into Servian ter ritory, for while the important rail- road line has not been secured they have nevertheless opened up the Dan tube for the free passage of such sup plies of ammunition and guns that it is desired to send to Turkey and for the reception of needed metal and foodstuffs from that direction.
 Though the Servians are forcing the enemy to fight hard for every inch of the ground they are getting and the assistance which the allies have sent and are sending has not suc- ceeded in turning the tide of battle, a campaign of great importance is still impending. The prospects are good that Bulgaria and Servia will see much more fighting before they see less since the allies must strike there unless they are prepared to abandon their Dandanelles efforts In the bringing together of the several allies for a concerted' effort Lord Kitchener is one upon whom full de- pendence can be placed. It is a vital move that is being made in the Bal kars and it is the part of wisdom to see that no more blunders are made, and from all appearances this is the purpose of the British secretary of war, at least in the near east.

other directors and enterprises in which these officers and directors are interested. Other irregularities in- clude excessive borrowings, unlawful real estate loans and other violations of the national bank act, against which the bank has been repeatedly warned by this office
 Thankfully there are few such in stitutions which defy the law under which they exist and secure the con- fidence of the people. They are the exception rather than the rule, but it is unfortunate that the system of inspection permits them to get into any such condition. The first indica- tion of mismanagement or the dispo- sition to wink at the regulations should be sufficient cause for stiff action and the government should be in position through it's inspectors to have first hand knowledge of ir- regularities. One rather than repeat ed warnings should be enough.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Chairman McCoombs of the Demo- cratic National Committee has stamped the La Toilette seamens law as unbusiness like. He says that the Democratic party made a mistake in allowing La Toilette to thrust his theories upon them-" He goes even further and says the law should be repealed. He brands 1t a mistake pure and simple, saying it was never a Democratic measure, although passed by Democratic Congress and signed by a Democratic President. And MT. McCoombs Is right. The quicker 1t is repealed the better. The entire nation, interior as we'll as coast wise has grown weary of the La Fol lette measure and its harmful infiu- ence on our foreign trade possibilities, even though it is but one day in operation.-New Britain Herald.

oNE.sIpEp RESPONSIBILITY.

The unjust burden that is being Placed upon railroads in the protec- tion or lives at grade crossings is clearly demonstrated in the state ment which has been made by Gen. eral Manager McCrea of the Long Island railroad for the month of Oc- tober whereby it is shown that 23 operators of automobiles and other vehicles failed to pay any respect whatever to the danger which is in Volved at such points, and instead of doing anything to aid in their own protection, despite the warnings and efforts made by the railroad in their behalf. continued heedlessly across the tracks.
 Long Island may possess an unus- ually large number of dangerous cross ings, but that very fact should get corresponding respect from the users. That it does not is shown Fly the fact that a dozen drivers. most of whom were autoistS, sent their ma chimes crashing through lowered gates. They haG respect neither for the dan ger which a crossing always presents nor for the attention which was given by the railroad to insure their safety. Tn addition traffic signs were demol- tshed and signal lanterns destroyed, go that there was manifested not only disregard for their own welfare, hut tho protection which others have tt right 10 expect was deliberately wiped out.
 That displays a disposition which ought to be dealt with severely by the authorities. It shows condition which the large majority of highway users do not subscribe to, and even though the accidents were few as the result of such ineXcdsable reckless ness it places a responsibility upon the railroad which is far in excess of what it should justly assume.

stead of better by trying to get by force more than could be justified by business conditions. Not long ago we had the example of Bridgeport before us. We were invited to follow her ex- ample, seize the manufacturing com panies by the throat and force them to give us what some outsider told us was our share. But we listened to reason. Just at present we have Mer- iden before US as an example to be avoided. The International Silver Go. has issued a statement showing rhow moderate have been its profits how impossible it is to grant the demands suddenly made. by it's employees, and how willing it is to make such a raise in wages as existing business war rants. It is not a company with a war business to get rich on, or to make envious minds think it is get ting rich when it isn't, which is the fate of so many companies these days. Waterbury ought to give no counte- nance to the importation of r1ineus Meriden methods, CT of hateful Meri- den spirit. There ought to be the same insistence on order and peace, on fair play, on good sense, that has made Waterbury so much better off than other cities. ever since the mu-- derous trolley strike, and those who maintain these conditions ought tosbe sustained by sound public opinion.

Stories of the War
Protecting Paris Art Treasures.

Protecting Paris Art Treasures.
 Many conflicting reports have been published of the circumstances under which the art treasures of Paris were placed in safety while the Germans were approaching the capital. Albert Dalimier, Under-Secretary for Fine Arts, now gives the exact details in an interview published in Paris.
 "As early as August, Mir Dalimier says, T had considered with my col leagues the measures to be taken to save our art treasures from the event. uality of the German invasion. We did not want to alarm the public by taking such steps before they became absolutely imperative. It was only when von Kluck approached Paris with remarkable rapidity, that We de- cided to act, and we were obliged to act quickly. They gave me forty eight hours to pack up the rarest ob- jects of our collection and send them out of Paris by railroad, to be sheit- cred in an important city of the south of France. The task was arduous and delicate. The most insignificant in-

TO THE EDITOR
Not In the Fight.


 MT. Editor: I understand that there are several people in Norwich who think that 1 was implicated in the Whitteridge and Spalding fracas of recent date. In fact several people have asked me about this fight. Now I wish to state that I was at the football game when this trouble start ed and on my return on the car saw several people in front of MT. Spald- ing's home but did not get off the car until it was in the square so did not see any part of this fight. There is a rumor around town that l was one of the men who went with Whitteridge to MT. Spalding's home. I wish to state that I did not even know MT. Spalding by sight so I'm quite sure did not know where he lived. I wish you would print this letter so that will not be mistaken for some one else. I was with several. people who will swear that I was at the football game when this trouble was going on.

 There is not a progressive complu- nifty in the state that will not have reason to deplore the action of the general assembly in changing the sys- tenn of assessing the state tax. The old system was fair and equitable and the powers vested in the state board of equalization gave ample protection to the state from the effect of any To- cal policy of assessment that was not in accord with the boards standard system a progressive city like Hart ford, which voluntarily taxes itself for municipal improvements, is penal ized in having to pay an exorbitant state tax.
