LAMBS |. HILL.

The death of James J. Hill removes one of the country's gree test captains of industry. To no one man does the great northwest owe more than it does to this pioneer empire builder. I'm pressed by the possibilities which that section held for those who were willing to work and work hard, MT. Hill put his shoulder to the wheel and as the result of a ceaseless struggle he was able to witness the accom- plishment of his great task and see the benefits which resulted in accord : ance with his belief.
 A man of wonderful insight and the packer of many schemes which were looked upon as fcolhardy by others who had less confidence or a poorer understanding of their merits thar he did, he not only amassed much wealth for himself, but he developed a vast section of the country and was the means of many others besides himself sharing in the benefits. He was not satisfied simply to promote this devel- opment, reap the proft ard leave it to others to, finish but he stuck by it to the end and it is bound to relaain a lasting monument to his memory.
 If he had set out to prove that civ ulAaIlOn FOLLOWS Ihe F3llrOaQ, ne cOu1a not have been more successful. He was thoroughly posted in the fields oi industry in which he operated and if the solution of railroad problems hs was a wizard. He was leader i1 business activities and what he didn' know about transportation. by rail road or by steamship, was not wortl knowing. The keen insight of Jamc J. Hill on any question of the day j. going to be missed but how firmi, and we'll he builded those proper ties in which he had been so long ant so vitally interested, is indicated b, the fact that his passing had no eff l feet upon their financial standine Even though he was well along il years the country can i'll afford t | lose him

nor how I was convinced that it's "a hard road and a rough one that leads to the poor house," and made thank full that Marquis Lafayette would never be obliged to travel the street that bears his name. But, really, as I drove back down over the cart heaps of Union street and the tar warts of Union Square, I was forced to wonder at MT. Earnings temerity.
 It's queer, isn't it, that to find good Norwich have to go outside of the city limits. Is it because, as MT. Tanning is quoted to have said in his speech, during eighteen of the twenty years just passed the mayors of the city have been reelected from the democratic party?' No, perhaps it's not altogether that, but, however that may be, it's certain the street depart ments of the last few years have had something to do with it.
 The city barn may have been use full as a political institution but it's been a dismal failure as producer of good and clean streets. They've spent money enough. They've had mana gers enough. If Enroll was up on the farm, Henry, the thousand dollar clerk. could excuse himself from aldermanic duties long enough to keep the ash carts rolling and send out the hoe bri- gade.
 No, there's something different
 needed, perhaps it's few of those men without any experience what l ever" referred to in the speech which | nominated the present clerk of the city barn for mayor of the city of Norwich. Much as I'd hate to see Henry out of a city job Pm inclined I to cast my vote against him, feeling
 satisfied that "inexperience" can't de-
 molish my Ford any faster than ''old- | timer" does now.

CHECKING HAzINe.

If hazing is going to be stepped. and not simply temporarily abar doneG. there is need of the faculties of the schools or colleges in which It occurs taking a determined stand against it. Every case must be handled firmly and the participants given to understand that they have violated the rules of the institution !n a manner which cannot be overlooked.
 This is the position which has been taken by President Reeves of Norwich University at North9eld. Vt, where six members of the freshman class were recently hazed by a party of soph- omores. They were tucked and made to run the gauntlet as result of which none was seriously injured, but 1t was nevertheless an infraction of the col lege rules and what made 1t all the worse the members of the sophomore class at a meeting specially called de- cided to stand by each other and re- veal nothing. This plainly meant that the class justified the act regardless of the rules, or in defiance of them, and there was nothing else for the faculty to do but to approve the recom- mendation of she president that the entire class be suspended. It was the one sound course to pursue under the circumstances. Discipline required it and particularly at a military college, To have taken no notice Of tie affair simply because there was no ore bad ly injured would simply have encour- aged others to have done likewise with consequences which no one could l foretell. Had there been more rigid opposition to hazieg from the very start of the practice it would have done more than anything else to end it. Regardless of the fact that it has become more or less of a custom ir some institutions it ought not to be l tolerated and every move that is made to stop it deserves much com1uenda- l tion

TIME FOR A CHANGE.

When it comes to the conduct of the city's affairs. the running of it's several departments and the eXpendi- ture of the half million or more which is required to meet the wants annual ly, the citizens and taxpayers not only have a right to expect. but do expect, that those who are named 10 handle it's business shall see that it is car ried on with the same degree of ex- actness and with the care and judicial forethought that is expected of those who are placed in charge of a private corporation.
 In the estimated expenses for the ensuing year there is included the sum of S1S,S12.51 which is to be raised by taxation this year for the purpose of putting it into the reserve fund of the gas and electrical department. This ought to have been done at the last city meeting, it Is claimed, but the profits of the department were such that there was not enough money in the treasury from that source to meet the requirements. Nothing was done about it. No explanation was made of the condition and whatever amount there was was used in meet ing the general expenses of the city as those in power saw fit. The re- suit is that whatever money there was available once is gone and the citi- zens must be taxed to make it up Does that show that the business has been conducted for the interest of the taxpayer? Does it show good busi- ness management, and are we tC gather from that that the democratic administration has shown itself eff cient, or that 1t has through its ex. perience discovered how to feather its own nest?
 It has been said that the people like to be fooled. As a matter of fac many of them are, whether they like it or not, but when they learn of sucl methods they are not likely to vote tC continue them, and in view of this anC other revelations as to poor manage ment it is evident that the time ii ripe for a change. The end of sucl conditions will be assured by the cleo tion of the republican ticket mex Monday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Streets Don't Show It.

MT. Editor: Haven't the affairs of the city been attended to fin a mas
 terly way under the democratic rule?" These words of Corporation Counsel
 Tanning, as quoted in your issue of May 16, 1916, uttered by him in ac-
 cepting the chair at the recent demo- cratic caucus, are pleasing to the ear and imply that only an affirmative answer could be raised in response.
 It didn't seem to me at all a self
 evident proposition when I read it,
 and after my experience of few days
 since, have been forced to the con- clusion that at least in one important department of city government the af-
 fairs of the city have been. attended
 to in anything but a ''masterly way"
 I refer to that which is perhaps most
 apparent to all, the streets.
 As drove back from the State Hos pital the other day and made various calls about the city I took observa- tions with MT. Earnings pertinent question in nina I had no sooner avenue than the macadam trenches supplanted the smooth macadam out 1 side $and forcibly reminded one that was within the jurisdiction of the l democratic town committee chairman, 1 Street Commissioner Lillibridge, and after I'd been thumped by two or l three of his fort-like croSswalks there was no room for further doubt. After 1 eating the dust of Franklin square and climbing Cliff street hill turned l into the bumps and hollows of the old | worn-out and long neglected dirt road 1 on Oak street. The plowed fields o1 the commissioners home farm or 1 Scotland Road couldn't rival it fol humps and hollows. Next came the
 broken macadam with it's stone humps
 and water-holes on Franklin street and Mckinley avenue; When I reach. ed Broad street I couldn't stand it any longer and decided to risk the dir road again rather than be dashed tC fragments on macadam remnants.
 | The bounders of Broad street wert
 so constant and so sharp that vol
 could hardly tell the difference whe1 you struck one of the commissioner
 most accentuated crosswalks, and tha l calls for some" bounders let me tel you. However, perseverance and gas
 oline, the abundance of lost motion
 notwithstanding, finally bounced m off the edge of Roath street hill int the midst of that monument of stree building and maintenance, North Mali
 street! It must bring tears to tn eyes of the tax payers to have to lool the gas and electric department ar day by day ground to bits in thi : thoroughfare, the departments yer front yard, so to speak, because of tn , "masterly way" in which it's siste 7 i department of streets has been ad ! ministered under democratic rule.

Too Much Freedom for Docs.

MT. Editor: In your paper of today a man from Plainf1eld signs "a friend to animals" has a curious idea about farmers keeping sheep.
 It is the most unreasonable argu- ment ever heard on this question. He would have a law that farmers must build a strong high fence to keep his sheep away from dogs. Nothing but wire fence would keep the dogs from the sheep. Such fences of rails, or walls, as farmers use for this pur- pose could be sealed by dogs and sheep killed. Instead of a law to make farmers build such fences to keep off dogs, why not make law that any farmer finding dog on his premises could shoot him at sight and that no pay for the dog could be collected?
 Why should dogs be allowed to roam around the country any more than sheep?
 If farmers had to build such a fence as this man requests it would nearly ruin them financially. see no req son why farmers should have to build fence to protect their sheep from dogs.
 I see in your paper today where a farmer in Ledyard had 20 nice large sheep and 10 lambs killed by dogs | Dogs are a great nuisance and should l be destroyed at once. The country is | full of half-starved dogs roaming around looking for food.

GREEK FEELING MANIFESTED.

That there should he riotlng at Athens as the result oe the invasion of Greek territory by the Bulgarian forces, and the occupation Of Greek forts which King Constantine's troops were forced to evacuate is not sur prising. It is but the outburst of ex- pression that should have been ex- pected in view If the feeling that has been manifested in the past over the attitude the Greek government has taken relative to standing by it's trea- ty with Servia- The people of Greece have witnessed the extension of BI;l- garian lines with much resentment. They have recognized the menace to their own nation, and since there hes not been the best Of feeling between the two nations since the Balkan war, it is but natural that the Creeks should interpret the seizure of the outposts as the preliminary step to- wards permanent occupation, regard less of the promise that is made that they will be abandoned following the war.
 The purpose of the Bulgarians is ot course to strengthen their position and to prepare a stronger defense against any aggressive action upon the part or the allied forces at salon iki and they apparently base theil action upon the fact that inasmucI as the allied armies have been per. mitted to occupy Greek territory that Bulgaria is entitled to like conces. sions. The Greek government may b, willing to accept such an interpre tation as that but 1t is quite eviden that certain of the populace, and es pecially the large following of ex Premier Venizelos, view it otherwise The Bulgarians are traditional foes o the Greeks and are now making us not only of Greek territory but o Greek Qualifications by taking advan tage of the fact that Greece is no prepared to resist, and the riotin which is following indicates that ther is a point beyond which it is impos sfble for Greek patience to remai passive.

With a roll of sheet rubber in one hand and pair of shears in Ire other, the sociable dentist paused to repeat his remark.

 Then, before the pretty woman in the chair could respond, the relent- less rubber had covered her mouth and was being strapped into place by bands around her head.
 Mrs, Halliday had come to this den- list because he had been recommended by a friend, but now, quite without reason, she began to resent every thing about him. The shape of his hands irritated her, the Heather cover irg of his chair and the pattern of the clean linen towel tucked under her chin were all wrong. She resented the fact that his office was in the front room of the fiat where he lived, so that his domestic environment in vaded business. But, even if all these things had been different, she would stiIl have resented the tuTnbling of her hair, the distorting of her face-fSae general indignity of the situation. Re- sentiment, with Mrs. Halliday, is as inseparable a part of dentistry as amalgam or gold filings.

'The maid \ wants to bring some green peas from tEe grocery for lunch,'' he confided and Mrs. Halliday, thoroughly mug zled, received the bit of household 1 news with a cold lift of the eyebrows. She said something about company for lunch, too," he added. Mrs | Dodgson ought to have been here tc | take that message. But green peas I didn't know they were in the marke yet"
