 Mr Editor: Will you kindly permit me, through your columns, to call to the attention Of the residents of the town of Norwich the generous action recently taken by the Norwich society of New York to further the welfare Of the town and city of Norwich.
 At an enthusiastic meeting of the society held 1n New Ioik city last Thursday evening. when I had the privilege of being present, the 45 to 50 members in attendance unanimous ly adopted the follow ing resolutions a copy of which has since Dcen forward . ed to me:
 Whereas, It is the object of the Nor wich society of New York, among other things, to promote interest In the general welfare of Norwich, Conn: now, therefore. be it
 Resolved, That the Norwich society of New York offer a prize of one nun dred dollars ($100), at the option of the winner, to be paid in cash or an appropriately marked piece of silver, to be awarded (if, In the opinion of the committee, there are sufficient grounds for awarding it), on March
 lst, 1918, by a ma jority vote of a com mittee composed of the mayor of Nor wich, the president of the Norwich Chamber or Commerce, the president of the United Workers of Norwich, the principal of the Norwich Free Academy, and, in case of a tie vote, the president of the Norwich society of New York to cast the deciding vote, to such resident of the town of Nor wich, Conn, or to such educational in stitution, religious body, organization or club, business enterprise, whether incorporated or rot, located in said town, which may, in the opinion of the above named comn1ittes, have done the most to advance the interest or the good name or welfare of the city or town of Norwich, or it's people, in any manner whatsoever, during the year 1917; and be it further

Local Aid for Allies, Blind.


 MT. Editor: The B. F. B. permanent blind relief war fund, which has been organized by leading American Dflilen- thropists. bankers and business men, with the patronage of the. king and queen of England, the king and queen of Belgium and the president of France, for the permanent care of the many thousands of soldiers and sailors of the allies blinded in this war. de- sires to form local committee in your city composed of men and women of sincere philarthropic interest, whose Influence is sufficient to effect suc- cessful permanent local organization of the fund.
 The work of those willing to serve on this local committee will consist of CD taking charge of the distribution of the funds collection boxes. dime banks, subscription books, literature, etc.; CD organizing entertainments and other forms of benefit for the fund, whenever possible.
 Mrs. George A. Kess1er and Mrs. R. Valentine Webster, the funds bonor- ary secretaries. at its headquarters, 5so Fifth avenue, New York city, will be glad to furnish the local committee with every facility. including mate rials, suggestions, etc.
 The purpose of this fund is to help the blinded men to become as nearly self-supportinE as possible: CD by esta ablishing schools and workshops for their training and tuition, furnishing them with the latest devices, mechan- lcal and otherwise, whereby their ex- traordinary handicap may be over come as much as possible; (2) by purchasing and supplying the raw materials they need: and {3) finding and maintaining market or exchange for their products; (4s by maintaining them in their homes when old age Oyertalzes them, (Their pensions are

however, that while it has done much good there Is still an opportunity for it to dc even more and for that req son too much interest cannot be taken in the coming convention of the Safe ty First Federation which is to be held at Baltimore next week.
 There are many ways in which steps can be taken to reduce the great loss of life and limb throughout the coun- try by the checking of the great amount of carelessness. There is an equal opportunity for bringing about a betterment of conditions in regard to other things and this is plainly indi- cated when it is realized that the lack of proper care results each year in a waste of half billion dollars.
 This year the federation will devote a good part of it's time to the enor- nous loss which follows railroad trespassing, the lack of or a disre- gard for highway regulations and the destruction by fires which are pre- ventable. The safety first idea is a most commendab1e one and it cannot get too much consideration. It may take some time to pound home the idea but it is bound to succeed.

THE TREES OF NORWICH.

There is cause for qualification in the action which has been taken by the Woman's Guild in recent meet ing for the purpose of preserving, pro- tecting and increasing the number of trees in the streets of Norwich. Such is to be recognized as being in ac- cord with the action which is taken in other cities because of the recognized benefit to city of shaded streets and the added value which is given to property by such improvement.
 There is a certain number of trees which have to be removed each year for various reasons. Sometimes they are decayed to the point where they are dangerous to public travel. Again there are instances where they inter- fere so seriously with public improve ment that some sacrifice has to be made, and it is well known that there are pests and diseases which unless remedy soon sap the life of the trees and their removal then follows in the natural course of events.
 Other communities have organiza- tfons, or commissions which deal with the tree problem, and there is no good reason why such should not be the case in this city and town. A large per cent of the attractiveness of many cities is contributed by. the trees, properly set out and nurtured. The part which they have played in this municipality is not to be overlooked and each and every effort that is made for their preservation and care, as well as the replacing of those removed where such is advisable, ought to receive general support It is an excellent move in the right di- rection which the Guild has started.

pisfranchisement in Tbe south

MT. Editor: I notice that some 1 question the statement that there is wilful disfranchisement in any part of
 our country. I think too much of our Flag to make any untrue statement tending to diminish its glory.
 This subject of disfranchisement in the Southland has been deeply con- | sidered, and here have been 8 great many books written about it. Our well furnished and excellently served
 library has a fine selection. among the l best may be mentioned "The Southern South,'' by Albert Bushnell Hart, Professor of History in Harvard Uni versity: surely an educator and scholar l of his standing may be relied on. I 1 wish to make two or three quotations 1 from the above instructive book. NO 1 idea is more futile than that you can l teach an inferior race to observe laws 1 by yourself breaking them; that you can put one-half the community out side the law, while claiming American liberty for the other half. Though the negro race has little to urge in public, it feels the degredation and the hurt. l Violence solves no problems: it does not even postpone the evil day. The race problem must be solved by apply 1 ing to negroes the same kind of law
 and justice that the experience of the Anglo-Saxon has found necessary for | its own protection p. 366. Since l 1885 there has not been any genuine Negro suffrage in any state of the South, in the sense that Negroes were l assured that ther votes could be cast and would be counted. The last rem- nant of successful combination of Negro voters with a minority Of the | whites was in the North Carolina cleo tion of 1S96.'' page 377- Let those jp- terested in the subject read Prof. Hart's book.
 Ex-Attorney General A. E. Pillsbury | of Massachusetts, when addressing Civil War veterans @ few days ago in Boston, said: President Wilson's margin falls short 30 odd electoral votes, unless you count the disfranchis- ing Southern states. But I don't sup
 pose there is courage or spirit enough in the Northern states to do anything
 about it. But if we allow Woodrow Wilson to take his seat by virtue of
 this fraudulent majority we shall be
 obliged to hold our months for all | time. Every white voter in the dis franchising states goes to the polls with just about twice as much power as
 every one of you voters in the North. It is a fraud on the whole country" How long is the rest of the country
 going to stand for this crime in the Southland? With what grace can this government intercede for the oppress- ed in Mexico, Belgium, Armenia or any i other foreign country while allowing her own citizens to be wronged in this way?
 Respectfully yours,
 E. GEORGE RIDDLE. l Norwich, Nov. 2S, 1916.

HANDLING THE FOOTBALL
 CROWD

One of the grea. troblems in con- uection with such an event as the Yale-Harvard football contest is that of transportation. A large proportion of the attendants are from other cit ies, and while there are many who go by auto and others by trolley, there is still a good sized army dependent up- on the railroad to get, to New Haven and home again during the hours 1m- mediately preceding and following the game.
 The New Haven road figures that it handled over 66.000 people last Sat urday, number not any larger than two years ago. because a great many went early and stayed over to avoid that very crowd but the record shows that they were moved with despatch, comfort and safety. Attention was given to full accommodations and in varia7oly this resulted. except in the case of the first few trains on the re- turn where the eagerness to get away led many to disregard their own well fare and insist upon crowding the cars beyond seating capacity, but what stands out as the most noticeable is the fact that this great crowd was transported without fatality or acci- dent. The system was of course properly attuned to the handling of special trains upon that day, in ad- dition to the regular business and the excellent manner in which it was done entities it to the full credit of the ac- ccmplishment. It is of course only what ought to be expected but it gives evidence of the fact that the respon- sibility involved in such 8 task is not slight and that it is fully assumed.

eALKINe AT HIGH PRICES.

A movement which cannot help be- ing of much importance, and one which will make strong appeal to the people, Is that which has been started in the state of New York for the purpose of stopping the buying of eggs until prices come back to earth again. It is a plan which is prompted by the methods which are being used to gouge the people for necessities. The situation is much the same as that a few years ago when meat began to rise. It was then real iZed that too~ much meat was being eaten. More was being consumed than was actually necessary and the recognition of this fact, together with the prices which were demanded re- suited in many people curtailing on the quantity of meat consumed. The result has been that a great many have never gone back to their former meat purchases. They find that they not only can get along without 1t but that they are better off physically and financially because of their action.
 Eggs of course are not the only things which have gone sky high and are still advancing. There are others of course, and in fact almost every thing is on the upward move. but when there have been such disclos- ures as those which show the corner ing of the egg market, the specula- ton which has for its purpose a get rich quick scheme, without regard to the law of supply and demand. it is time that the people stepped in and had something to say about the reg ulation. The action which has been taken in New York has come none too soon and it should meet with such a general response that it will have the desired effect in bringing the price of the hen fruit back nearer normal.
