 "But the what-not!" shouted Joshua First they carted all the junk on it to the attic so that there would be room for the children's playthings and then they put it in a corner of the playroorn, where it fills needed want!

 All ex-convicts must not be judged by the actions of this one. who de- serves the full penalty of the law, but he has made the path of those who look for sympathy after repenting their course in crime all the harder. Many will view with greater suspicion the employment of such people in the fu- ture, and upon sober second thought it may be the part of wisdom to keep them away from such places of temp tatiOO

CHARLES F, THAYER,

Charles F. Thayer, former mayor of Norwich, the news of whose sudden death will come with a great shock this morning, has long held a place of prominence in the affairs of Nor wich and eastern Connecticut, and his loss will be sincerely mourned.
 Few citizens had a wider acquaint- ance. For years he has ranked among the leading members of the legal pro- fession from this section and his un- timely death means loss similar to that which the community experienced in the passing of Frank T. Brown and Donald G. Perkins.
 Mr. Thayer has taken a prominen; part in politics as a democrat during 8 long period of years, securing from his party the honor of being selected as candidate for congress and for the governorShip. For ten years he was at the head of the city government his ability and fitness for the office winning recognition from members o1 all parties. and in which office only one other mayor ever served for a longer period. He was a student ot municipal affairs and to him Norwich owes it's municipal gas and electric plant, together with many other mu- nicipal improvements and reforms. He was progressive, an optimist, and had unbounded faith in the future ot Norwich. His ideas relative to the conduct of a city were given wide spread attention far beyond the limits of the city and state. He was a man of great resource, strong convictions an indefatigable worker and the pos- sessor of a keen analytical mind, which characterized his whole life. He was a leader whose passing means a distinct loss to the citizenship of Norwich.

Both Aida and Joshua Harber suf- fered intensely because of their par ents. Despite money, travel and the elevating influence of culture ana the arts, the elder Harbers remained strictly old fashioned-whicht to their offspring was something to be borne like an uncle in states prison or any, thing else disgraceful.
 When the craze arrived for stripping ones home pictures, bric-a-brac and superf1uities Aida became an enthus- iastfc follower of the new cult. Its mother. you've no ideal And think of the dusting it saves Anyhow. our walls just reek of pictures-let's begin by taking down that thing of Lake Lucerne I've always hated because 1t Is too impossibly beautiful.
 well, I should say not!" distinctly interrupted her mother, sitting straight up in her indignation. I'd have you know that your father and I got that Lake Lucerne picture on our wedding trip-and it looks pre- cisely like it and was painted by very nice artist. I reco1lect yet how gentlemanly he was. I'm surprised you should think of such a thing! And you needn't look with that expression at my Goodnight and Fast Asleep pictures They are much sweeter and prettier than the awful poster things people rave over nowadays and, be- sides, they brighten up that dull cor ner by the piano!

 Altda's brother suffered just as much.

OUR NAVAL CONDITION,

It is an interesting report that has been made to President Garfield of Williams college by Secretary Dan tels upon the condition of the navy at the present time. It is also a lengthy reply because as the secre- tary considers it is an epoch making period and because he believes there has been an effort to misrepresent the true conditions for political purposes
 It is gratifying as shown by the secretary that the navy now possesses B6 more vessels fully commissioned than it did two years ago, that the vessels under construction are great er in number by 23 than at the same lime two years ago, that increased at -!ention is being given to the produc- ion of ammunition, mines, torpedoes md the building up of the submarine Ind aviation branches of the navy All these are contributions of much importance which are necessary in a we'll equipped navy.
 It is impossible to belitt1e the fact that much of this activity for g. larger number of commissioned vessels. ar Increase in vessels and preparedness aas come through the agitation which las been carried on in its behalf, not IS a matter of political opposition, be. cause 1t was supported by the mem bers Of all parties. but through an in- crest in the proper defense of the na. ion. Secretary Daniels attributes much to "a patriotic congress-" but he efforts which were required to ob. ain that which is being secured. 1T response to the setting forth of con. litions, indicate as well the patriotism which moved those who sought to have he country's navy brought to thu proper efficiency.

INCREASED LICENSE FEE.

It was by a close vote that the 1i- quor license fee in this state was jumped $500 in the house last week, making the amount $750, but it was by an appreciably increased vote that reconsideration was refused. This ac- ton was taken despite the effort that was being made for the fixing of the amount at $500 and must be looked upon as approval of high license fee.
 The bill now goes to the senate, where it has been declared that the smaller increase is favored, it being figured that such would result in 8 benefit to the State of about a third of million on the basis of the pres ent number of saloons. Under the existing conditions the money from the licenses goes to the towns in which they are located and the coun- ty, but under the increase the addi- tional amount would go to the state.
 Just what effect the $750 fee would have upon the number of saloons is problematical, but it is certain that it would affect them differently than the $500 fee, and figured from the stand point of revenue the plan of the state to feed off of such business is open to the, danger of materially decreasing the income to the towns which permit the existence of saloons through re- iuction of the number of saloons. To de- crease the income to the towns where they are tolerated that the state may get boost in revenue may of course be looked upon as means of reduc- ing the number, but from the financial viewpoint the amount which goes to the state should be only that which Is in excess of what is now received by the towns. Otherwise it means the using of town revenue to help out the state or an extra tax from the towns which have saloons,

SHOW LIBERTY BELL,

Having agreed to permit the trans portation of the Liberty bell to the Pacific coast that 1t may be viewed by thousands who would in all prob ability never see it otherwise, the Philadelphia officials may have SUD- posed that their troubles were over. Such, however, Is not so, for now come the petitions from children in almost every city of any size through out the southwest requesting that stop-over privileges be granted that they may have the opportunity of get ting a glimpse of this important relic.
 School children. it is to be remem- bered, were instrumental in bringing pressure to bear in behalf of the trip to the exposition. It was for their benefit that it was decided the risk of the cross country ride should be taken. There will be a great many children long the Pacific coast who will at tend the fair and who will be greatly impressed by the sight of the bell and the part that it has played in history, but no more so than will the children of the other cities through which it passes. Some of them may go to the fair, but a greater number will not and it is only the proper display of JuStlce tO lueLu lldt they SnOulQ pc allowed a peek if such a thing is pos sible without unpachng 1t at every junction.
 Compliance with all requests may be impossible because of the circuitous route that would be necessitated, but what is to prevent the starting of the bell at once and ha1ting 1t an hour or so in the different cities through which it will pass that Young Amer ica and the old, too, for that matter can have the satisfaction of seeing it. They may never be where tKey can see 1t again. It won't hurt the faiI and it won't hurt the bell.
