Municipal Lodging House.
(Meriden Journal

The idea of municipal lodging
 house is one that appeals to the po-
 lice as well as to those who are en-
 gagged in charitable work for it will
 help solve the problem that is cre-
 ated by the drifters who frequent
 this and otherer cities especially dur ing the winter. The idea is a good one if it is carried out in a practical l way, as we understand the plan to ] be now.
 1 It is wrong to give the supervision 1 of tramps to the police department for really transients should not look | upon policement as friends who are | going to make efforts to find theb | lodging because these irresponsible | persons should think only of the po- 1 lice as guardians of the peace to l which tramps as a class are mem ace.
 If we have a municipal lodging l house where the transient will find a | bed and perhaps be able to get meal ! if he is willing to work for it, there will be one less social problem here. 1 The Salvation Army has made a study | of these homeless wanderers and un- derstands better than anyone else how to treat them and if the army off, ficials are willing to care for them they should be permitted and given every assistance.
 A lodging house with a woodward connected and also with arrangements for bailing waste paper would furnish
 the men with employment and also give the army something to dispose of and help pay the expenses of the
 building. Furthermore if waste pa- per is picked up about the streets by these men then they could help make this a cleaner city.
 We hope that the plans Of the char
 itable workers and the police to this end will work out successfully.

women and children of our farm com munities into a bond of friendship un- equalled by any fraternity on earth.'
 Reviews Laws Passed.
 Speaking of the last legislature, MT. Sherwood said it passed more laws in which the grange was inter- ested than any of the recent years. He then in detail reviewed the laws passed. Support was given to the cor porate excess tax law because We knew there were many corporations in the state that were not bearing their just portion of the burden. A plan to abolish the present state board of agriculture was fought and defeated.
 On the matter of good roads, the grange, MT. Sherwood said, had all ways been a champion of these. The demand for good roads, however, should be met in a business like and intelligent manner. Development of the resources of the state will follow most largely the improvement of the roads over which business is transact ed. Said MT. Sherwood:
 Roads of State
 '"The tendency is to exaggerate the importance of high cost automobile boulevards and to minimize the neces- sity of better highways in country towns The roads of the state should be adequate to the necessities of the people of the state whose rights there in take precedence of the pleasure of transient visitors or the comfort of passing tourists. The farmers pay taxes upon the highest per cent. of what he has of any class in the state. The standard of living he can main tain, tho education which he can pro- vide for his children depends more largely upon the condition of the pub lie highways than do these things with any other class of our people, The automobile tax and license should be sufficient to meet the expenses en- tailed upon the state and towns by reason of their use. Some system of taxation or tolls should be devised under which foreign cars should pay for the damage they inf1ict upon our roads,"
 In concluding his address the state master mentioned the names of those whom death had called during the past year, and paid tribute to the loyalty and helpfulness of his subOr- dinate officers.
 Others Give Addresses. Following the masters address there were others by state Chaplain J. H. Hoyt. Late in the afternoon the reports of the treasurer N. $. Platt the secretary H. F. Loomis and the executive and finance committees were scheduled, also other reports. The sixth degree will be conferred this evening.

Making d Mess of it.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

The faint hope that congress could or would approach the question of national preparedness on any pa- triotic and broad-minded basis is dying away in the face of the indif- ference, the wrangling and the entire lack of team work that the members are displaying toward the supreme problem of the present session. Ap- parently none of them, even the sup porters of the president, know exact ly what they want or how they are to raise the revenue to secure what the country absolutely needs for it's own safety. The time is being frittered away and preparedness is advancing rot an inch
 What will come out of the chaos that now prevails in the legislative counsels of the nation no one but d!vinely gifted prophet can tell. EVi- dently the Democratic party cannot provide what the nation demands for it's own protection. Never in it's his tory has the party been more thor oughly given over to dissention and to elimination and recrimination The president if he wishes to see his pa. triotic program put through, must rely upon the republicans to do il for him. And they should do it for him. It is entirely in line with their policy to make this republic strong and respected throughout the world, If the presidents own followers de- sert him their places should be taken by the Republicans. Preparedness is coming. It is coming immediately through effective cooperation of its supporters regardless of party lines or it is coming later through the as- sumption of the reins of government by the Republican party. The De- nocracy can choose which of the two methods it prefers.
 As for the idle talk that is going on about war munition embargoes, the deliberate violation of our neu- trality in the interest of Germany and to the destruction of American business, it. can be safely discounted g.. the froth that representatives of pro- German districts have to emit in crder to stand in with their con stituents It will have no support of any strength either in congress or out of congress.

LOTTERIES ABROAD
 INCREASED BY WAR
US. Postal Authorities Kept Busy to Prevent Their Advertisement

Washington, Jan. 11.-Increase in abroad as the war drags itself out is forcing United States postal authori- ties to be especially watchful to pre- vent their advertiser in this country. The lotteries are given pub licity in the United States in two ways, it was said at the post office de- partment Today. Individual letters are written to American citizens in an effort to induce them to purchase tickets and news stories are circulated of fabuluous sums won.
 Letters soliciting clients, if they fall into the departments hands, never reach their destinations Some get through the department if on the outside they do not present a | suspicious appearance. All the suspected letters are diverted and l opened.
 Barred From Malls.
 With news stories the department | does not find it so easy to deal. The | solicitors office of the department holds that any news story advertising a lottery must be barred from the mails. Under the departments ruling this means any story giving publicity l to a lottery. It does not have to be a 1 paid advertisement.
 Many news stories of European l lotteries have been printed recently | the department says, which approach 1 closely a violation of the law. A story l that mentions the name of a winner or winners of a lottery is held to b' 6 distinct violation. A story, too tha might be expected to attract such at tention to lottery that readers would 1 investigate is held to be violation. Section of Law.
 A section of the law quoted by tn | department reads:
 NO newspaper, circular, pamphle or publication of any kind containing any advertisement of any lottery, gif | enterprise or scheme of any kinC
 offering prizes, dependent in whole O | in part upon lot or chance, Or con
 taining any list of the prizes draw
 or awarded by means of any sucl
 lottery, gift, enterprise or scheme
 whether said list contains any part O
 all of such prizes, shall be deposite'
 in or carried by the mails of tn
 United States or be delivered by an
 postmaster or letter carrier
 Most of the lotteries being carrie
 On in Europe are for war benefits
 H Hospitals, the wounded, soldiers de | pendents and other war victims ar
