 Cough,


 We have seen right here in Norwich such wonderful results from the use of Vfnol in such cases that we agree to return the money to anyone who tries 1t and does not get the same re- suit MT. Clark did. He eays:-
 T used NiGol for a chronic cough and hard cold which it seemed fm- possible to get rid of At nights l would cough violently so I couldn't sleep. learned About Vinol through friend who had used it at the house where I am living, and the result of its use in my case was that the hard cold was soon well and the chronic cough disappeared in very short order" F. J. Clark, Pearl Street, Amsterdam, N. Y.
 It's the tonic iron, the extract of fresh cod livers without oil and beef peptone contained in Vinoi that makes 1t such a successful remedy for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis Try 1t on our guarantee.

SUSTAINING THEE PRESIDENT

The House followed the Senate in sustaining the President in his position on the rights of Americans on the high seas by an overwhelming majority Of course could do nothing else The American people arc be- hind the President and Congress was given an oppor tuniy to hear from the people That was one of the points gained by the President when he determined to place Congress on record He forced the issue before the people
 The strange part of the whole procedure was that the vote against the Presidents position was even as strong as 1t was It was not generally believed that majority of the opposition strength would be cast agans him. The principal criticism of the foreign pol icy of the President from the opposition had been that 1t was weak and the resolution which Congress was considering was designed to weaken the American pol icy beyond point that the President would stand for Its purpose was to deprive Americans of lawful rights on the high seas Yet when 't came vote Senators and Representatives who have been demanding stronger foreign policy casts their votes for the weaker Which goes to show that s,mer criticisms have been intended rather for votegettng purposes than in .he interest of a more intense AmerIcanism.
 However the Senate vote of ss to fl and the House vote of 27s to ll2 constitute very emphatic endorse ment of the President and the 2l Republican Senators and ss Republican Representatives who voted for the President equal the 12 Republican Senators and 1o2 Re- publican Representatives who voted against him.

WHAT DOES IT MEANT

What means this winter drive at France and this German naval actvitys Probably terrific attempt to break down the force of the Allies resistance before they are able to make full use of months of preparations for the 1916 campaign This is more probably the cause for it than is that other suggestion that is Germanys last spurt There has been nothing to indicate that Germany has by any means reached the point where exhaustion is in sight She ended the old year strong and with her armies victorious both against Russia and in the Balkans. The great Russian army defeated last year. Later Serbia was destroyed and the Allies were whipped off the Galipon Peninsula Next in ma tura order was to engage the French and British in France and Belgium.
 The Germans know as well as anybody that the French and British have been preparing for year for the final clash in the western theatre of war, though they probably did not expect the fighting to begin un- tl the early summer. Germany struck first. perhaps thinking that the blow would not be expected Another probable reason for the early attack desire to act before Russia could recouD from the drubbng that she received last year. and before the eastern winter should release its grip on that country.
 The question that must be decided before long is whether or not the French British have been caught unprepared If SO has yet been disclosed though the attack has continued for IS days

SEWARD RATIFIEs LAW

Seward has ratified all the provisions of the Terr toriaI law which permits the people to elect Mayor separately from the other members the city council to elect city councimen for two years with half of them elected each year. to elect the city clerk. city torney and city treasurer by direct vote instead of through the city council However while the vote in favor of the mayoralty question and the two-year terms for councmen proposition was three to one. the majority in favor of the direct election city attorney clerk and treasurer was small Probably if there had been sufficient amount of discussion the result in the latter case would have been otherwise.
 The ministerial officers of city, county, territory state should be appointed by those charged with cutve duties. The people should hold their law mak- CTS and executives responsible for good government. and they should give them sufficient authority to give good government
 It is probably fortunate thing that the people or Juneau will have the two propositons-the meritorous and those without mert-submitted at different times. R indeed the latter ever come before them The prop osions that have been submitted to the people of Ju neau should both carry-the Mayor should be elected separately by the people and half of the members of the city council should hold Over so that we may al- ways have men on the council who arc familiar with municipal affairs If the other propositions ever come up they should be defeated

They com plain that President Wilson did not take action early in the with respect to the invasion of Bel gium. What acton would they have taken? That is the question Senator Lewis asks it is the question that has been asked repeatedly It cannot be that they think the President should have written note about It. They cry out in rage-mosty pretended-because he has writ ten notes. With the German armies overruning Bel gium. what would Mr. Root or Colonel Roosevelt have done? Dare they say that they want war? That .s the only sort Of action that fitted the and that action was taken by great Powers that guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium But Senator Root did not say war Col Roosevelt does not say war.
