NEW HAMPSRFRE'S PRIMARY,

Whatever determination there may
have been to secure delegates for the
national republican convention who
are favorable to Theodore Roosevelt
it has been disclosed by the New
Hampshire primary that even in that
state, where there has always been
considerable Roosevelt sentiment. that
there is still strong opposition to his
candidacy or any effort to bring it
about.
New Hampshire has selected an
unpledged delegation, but one Roose-
welt advocate made a strenuous en-
deaVor to secure a place on the rep
resentation from that state That he
was beaten by over two to one is sig
meant 1t shows that there is not a
controlling sentiment for him in spite
Of the work that has been done in his
behalf. If it was expected that there
would be a clean sweep for this man
Who openly committed himself tc
Roosevelts nomination, there must be
sad disappointment, especially when
it is realized that only a part of the
voters participated in the primary and
those who stayed away failed to dis
play any enthusiasm whatever in his
cause.
That New Hampshires sentiment
thus recorded represents the feelins
in the rest Of the states might not be
admitted by his hackers as an entire.
ly correct inference, but it nevertheless.
furnishes a basis for judgment which
is far more trustworthy than a straw
vote and it is but fair to presume tina
it shows how the republicans aug
mented by the return of the Bull
Moose feel over the selection of tn
candidate for the presidential election
1t certainly shows to New Hampshire
delegates and to those who may b
selected from other states how tn
people stand in the matter, which i

DANGERS IN COOPERATION.

Look at il as one will, it is impos-
sible to disregard the fact that this
country on it's search for Villa and
his bandits needs to take every pre-
caution against others who may be
disposed to interrupt the expedition.
While the United States forces are CO.
operating with those of the de facto
government of Mexico, which is the
logical course for each to pursue, the
reports of Carranza soldiers deserving
to Villa and the appearance of the
old time animosity to this country in
certain sections which has caused a
great many to seek safety in this
country makes it evident that the dan
ger of being caught in a trap through
placing too much dependence upon
indicated friendship cannot be disre-
garded.
It is a case where there must be a
careful analysis of conditions to de-
termine just how much reliance can
be placed upon those who are really
offering cooperation. If Carranza's
control was what it ought to be there
could be no question, but if he pos
sessed that control the present situa-
ton would have been avoided, yet
the need of the United States and
highly important to early success.
That it calls for careful sizing up
of the Mexican attitude is q fact
which will not escape the shrewd lead
ers of the American forces Reliance
will be placed upon the Carranza
forces to at least put no obstacles
in their way, until something which
warrants Il hostile attitude is re-
Vealed. This is manifested by the
acceptance Of the assistance offered
by certain Carranza troops soon after
crossing the border and by the pass
ing of the large amount of amnuni.

Of these have either broken from their
anchorages or have been set afioat in

that Germany should claim that they

contrary can be produced
There now comes another story,
with the arrival OF the F'abre liner
Patria in port to the effect that an
effort was made to torpedo that I'M
armed vessel carrying 902 people in
the Mediterranean. From the fact
that officers and passengers saw the
periscope of the attacking submarine
and the torpedo as it missed the ship
by a short distance, the excuse that 1t
was a mine cannot be offered. Such
an attempt to sink the liner was OF

LETTERS TO The EDITOR

Being Used for Political Purposes.
Mr.. Editor: Norwich has gone into
municipal ownership OF a gas and cleo
trical plant that represents SI5O,OOO
that the taxpayers are holden for. The
question Of buying light and power
fIom outside parties and allowing our
plant TO releCate TO the junk pile or in
vestinE an additional 100000 TO put it
into shape so we can manufacture light
and power at our own plant is before
US. Now, Mr.. Editor, what would q
private corporation in like circum-
stances do2 Would the stockholders
allow the directors to make a contract
with taeir competitors because they
We're in a position to furnish cheaper
than they could manufacture or would
they instruct the directors to put the
factory into first class shape to COM
pete with their competitors? Norwich
with up-to-date appliances and brains
can make light and power just as cheap
as anyone on earth, and the idea of
buying light and power and letting our
$3.50, goo plant go into the hands OF the
junk dealers is about the size of some
of our intelligent citizens. 1t is about
time for the taxpayers and voters to
elect men with caliber enough to pro-
tect the S750,O0O we have got invested

CANNOT BLAME A MIME.

In the past several days merchant
vessels have been sent to the bottom
off the coast Of France and in the
North sea without receiving warn
ing. These ships did not carry arms
and were entitled to receive notice
when there was any step taken to in
terfere with their operations, in addi-
ton to which the necessary time
should have been given the passengers
and crews to get to points of safety.
Nothing Of the kind was done, either
in the case of the Norwegian bark

sEAMEN,s LAW DISTRICTS

There is plenty Of food for thought
in the statement which is made by the
head Of a steamship company which
proposes to increase its tonnage BY
the purchase of vessels of beIligerent
countries, which are tied up in this
country for the purposes of protec-
ton, and register them under some
other flag. possibly that Of Brazil, in
order to overcome the detrimental
features Of the seamen's act.
This shows what kind OF encourage
ment is being given by this country to
build up the merchant marine That
there is need of a great many moro
vessels than can be had Immediately
in order to handle the export bust
ness of this country at the present
time is a we'll understood fact. Ports
| are congested and railroads are forced
to hold up shipments simply because
| it is impossible to secure a sufficient
| number of vessels to handle the traf-
| fic, and while capital has crowded the
| shipyards with orders for new YES
| sells with which to meet the unpre-
| cedented condition nothing in the way
of relief legislation which would at
/ tract shipping to American registry is
| being offered.
How this is viewed by the business
men of the country is revealed by the
action which has been taken by 81
| boards of trade, chambers of comm ercc
and commercial organizations through
out the country asking for the revis-
ion of the seamen's law, which is rec.
oSnized not only as an obstable but
as one of the chief reasons for driving
| those who would contribute to the
relief of the situation to foreign reg.

agement which ought to be given her,
is being furnished by other countries

THE END OF Won TTRPITz.

Indications Of new attitude on the
part of Germany relative to the long
drawn out submarine policy are fur
nished by the resignation of Admiral
Won Tirpftz from the control of the
navy. From the very first there has
been no question as to where he stood
He has always advocated the carrying
out of a policy which would disregard
the rights of others in spite of the
provisions of international law. 1t
was Won Tirpitz who first intimated
the extensive use to which the sub
marine could be put in blockading
Great Britain. He was for making
them overcome whatever handicap eX-
listed in their operations through size
and vu1nerability by disregarding all
laws, by terTorizing their opponents
and neutrals by the manner in which
| they sent to the bottom such vessels
| as were encountered, whether they
were warsnips or merchantmen, and
! by not paying any attention to the
| human life involved. 1t was in accord
ance with his ideas that the Lusitanis
was sunk and he has steadfast1y held
to his policy regardless of the pro-
tests and the unjustified course thai
Germany has taken in this respect.
| That this is to be changed is indi.
Gated by his resignation. Illness i!
given as the cause but it points mort
directly to the fact that those whC
have opposed his methods are in con
troll and that his successor will fol
low a different course of action. 1
this is SO it means a change which i
long overdue. It means respect 70
international law which heretofor
has been winked at, and that Will
he would not hesitate to arouse tn
enmity of the world, there are other
who recognize the lack of wisdom i
such a course. It is to be hoped tina
the dropping of Won Tirpitz means tn
reform which it portends.

HAZARDS OF LoNc-AGo VOYAGES

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin)
The second war with England, as
already noted, virtually put an end TO
what had been f1ourishing trade De-
tween Norwich and European ports.
Up to that time such items as the
following were of frequent appearance
in The Norwich Courier:
% Feb. 1907: arrived brig Maria,
Moses billiard. so days from Lisbon.
May 9, cleared for Nantz, brig Trav-
return voyage, % october, 46 days
from Bilboa-
1909, ship Starbroeck, Charles Rock
well, made a voyage to Cork and LiV-
erpool.
Jan. 1910: arrived from Liverpool,
brig Fox, John Parker. with salt, coal,
crates of crockery, etc. consigned to
Roger Huntington and z & Z. Hunt
ington; duties, S343.7S. The Fox clear
ed for Cadiz the next July and return
| ed in November, after AZ days pass
age.
The Chelsea, Capt. coIver, sailed for
Alicant in January, 1910, Asa Fitch go
/ ing as a passenger. On the return
voyage, arrived II July, LOG days from
Alicant, and 81 from Center, with
goods consigned to Peter Lanman,
Erastus Colt & Co. and others. The
| Chelsea sailed again in October, bound
for Cadiz, under Farewell Colt.
aug D, 1911. aTE1NGu bA45 1DpNNr CbA-
yer. So days from Liverpool; passen-
ger, Roger Huntington.
The same year, Capt. Walter Lester
made a voyage TO Lisnon in the schoon'
err Betsey; and in April, 1912, Jonathan
l>Lester, commanding the Chelsea
cleared at the custom house for the
same port, returning safely in July.
Tt seems strange, in these latte1
years, to think of Norwich as export
ing flour; but that was profitable trad
carried on during the early years o
| 1900.
Goddard &, Williams had entered in
to the Touring business At Norwicl

other Southern ports, they enterpriS

point when, if Providence takes no
hand in our affairs, we are doomed be-
yond hope. 1t sometimes takes fright
full disasters to burn the fundamental
fact into mems brains. But He who
orders our lives evidently counts the
lesson worth the pain necessary to
learn it.

THE YEAR TIE KING DIED.

Il was in the year of a national ca
iamity that the great Isaiah received
his commission as prophet. In the
year that King Uzziah died. he writes,
4 saw the Lord high and lifted up, and
His glory filed the temple" When
the grand monarch, renowned both in
war and in peace, who had reigned for
so years in a perfect blaze of military
and commercial prosperity, died as a
Ieper the shock and sorrow of the loss
sent his patriotic cOuntrymen into
mourning that was no pretense.
1t was in this black hour that the
young Isaiah got his revelation of God.
Within the temple he caught heav-
emily vision and heard the seraphic
choir chanting antiphonally, The
whole earth is full of jehovah" To
his sensitive mind the death Of the
great King brought into strong relief
the presence of the Lord God Omnipo-
tent who lives and reigns forever.
Calamity, not seldom, does just that
for people. 1t brings them into real
izing sense of the spiritual power that
undergirds the world. When every
material prop has been swept away it
throws them back on the support that
comes from religious faith. 1t reveals
to them the foundations of the king
dom not of this world.
