THE cHlcA1co CONVENTION

At the present moment and for the next few days all eyes are bound to be centered upon Chicago and the na- tional convention of the republican party. Representative men. for the most part uninstructeds arc gathered there from all sections of the coun- try for the purpose of placing in norn- ination the republican candidates for president and vice president, and 1t is fully understood that much re- sponsibility devolves upon them.
 There has been an unusual campaign conducted in behalf Of favorite sons and by aspiring candidates Tor tais great honor. There have been rore-| casts after forecasts as to the one who can best measure up to the re- quirenents of the office. and the very fact that there are so many who are anxious to get the nomination is an indication regarding the probability of republican success which cannot be overlooked.
 The duty of the delegates assembled is by no means slight. Upon the right interpretation of the demands of the people and the meeting of the repub- lican requirements as to a standard bearer depends the party success next November. It is an instance where
 
 the best must be selected. Considera- tion must be given to the merits of the various candidates and the one select ed who can not only cement the fac tions of the party but who can com mand the support of the independent voters.
 Such a man is available and after the preliminary details are attended to and the convention gets down to bus mess there is every reason to believe that sound Judgment will prevail in the selection of a candidate who has 3 record of loyal support of party pre- cepts, principles and traditions and one who will command the respect and confidence of all the people ir- respective of party affiliations. SucI a man is to be found and such a mar | it is believed will be chosen.

TIE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

That the taxpayers and voters or the city were interested in Monday election could not have been manl- tested in a. more certain manner than if was by the large number who came out to give expression to their senti- nents at the polls, and by the election of the entire republican ticket with ona exception. It was confidently be- ieved that a large vote would mean republican victory and it did, and Tor inc next two years Norwich will have a republican administration.
 What can be accomplished when there is united party and a ticket which manifestly stands for busl- nesslike conduct of city affairs In all tbe departments has been demon strated and even though the normal majority was but 69, the meaning or that can be fully understood when It is recalled, as recently pointed out In a caucus speech that but three repup- Hcan mayors have been elected in the past two decades. The people hao apparently decided that there should be a change and they supported tnelr opinion by going to the polls and ln- gisting upon 1t.
 The people have declared their con- fdence in the republican nominees anu 1t now remains for those elected te assume their responsibility and give the best possible accounting of then stewardship to the people. This duty cannot be lightly assumed, and there Is every reason to believe that it vii not be-.
 Norwich Is anxious to have the besf possible municipal government. It f no more than it is entitled to. wants efficiency and economy to b' manifested in every department of thu city. That is what it elects city ofh' ciaIs for and why it entrusts then with the conduct of it's business ant it is confidently believed that no mis take has been made in the choice tha was disclosed by the ballots, and tha under the coming administration tn welfare of the city will get first con sideration at all times.

OUR FoREloN rRApE.

According to the report for the month of April of the export business done by this country as presented by the department of commerce, there is shown a slight falling off in the vol ume in comparison with the previous month, which may be due to the fact that April had less business days than the preceding month which could ac- count for the decrease of six and a half million, but when the ten months period ending with April is consid- cred and it is shown that American exports totaled $3, ,401, ,000,e 600 which is an increase of $1,175, ,300,00O over the like period last year it can be appre- ciated that the demands on this coun- try have not abated and that foreign purchasers are still looking to the United States for a large part of their needs which have to be gotten from outside.
 That the war is responsible for this is of course apparent. Yet from this increase in foreign trade there ought to be not a small portion of this bus. mess, especially with the countries which are not involved in the war which will be retained after peace is declared.
 What effect the tariff legislation is having upon imports is disclosed bS the fact that goods were brought int this country during April to al amount greater by $4, POO, 900 in Apri than there was in March, and of $217,. 100000 worth of imports last montl there were practically TO per cent which entered duty free or almost si1 and a half per cent. more than a yea ago. When the administration il striving to increase it's revenue ant considering the imposing of additiona taxes in order to secure the none, which is necessary to run the govern ment, there appears to be a. good les son in this disclosure. The readiust ment of the tariff is matter whiel cannot be wisely overlooked.

 This latter expression like Ito throw overboard' ito get rid of something Is obviously nautical; but few people know that sky -scrapers'' was origin ally sailors slang.
 Close quarters" is another very common expression. This, like first rate" and it's accompanying express sions, second rate" third rate" and so on, comes from the days of wood en lighting ships. The quarters were projections erected along the bulwarks, behind which sailors could lie low, and which were used to help to repel boarders.

TIME To DO SOMETHING HERE,

Even though this government hasn't seen the need of taking steps which will insure the protection that is needed for the building up of the dye making industry in this country, either through failure to take the proper look ahead or because of the disregard for the industrial welfare of the nation, no such situation can be charged to Germany. Germany has long been producing most of the dyes that have been manufactured from coal tar products and an idea of the manner in which it views the sit- uation following the war is to be gained from the fact that billion dollar corporation had been formed in that country to handle this business, which will mean a monopoly in that line of production.
 In order to overcome the shortage and aid business temporarily while war conditions are prevailing, capital in this country has been used to a linn tied degree to build up the dye mak- ing industry, but with the recognition of the fact that as soon as conditions sn Germany return to normal il would be impossible to compete with the large establishments in that coun- try whose producing costs are much lower. And yet despite this congress has done nothing which would lend such encouragement to dyemalzing al to make it a permanent industry ir this country It has not looked ahead even as carefully as German interests have and permitted capital to be pre-. pared to meet any such demands a: a German monopoly might impose HOW long this situation is going tC prevail is problematical but 1t is ap- parent that if steps had been taker some months ago and the proper pro, lection assured those who are ready to invest in such a. business the fcun- dation would have been securely 1ait long before this. for the building ul of this industry which is So impori tant to many lines of nusiness In thil

In any consideration of the proposed Gay White Way members of the com mon council might well ponder over what a brilliantly lighted thoroughfare means to a city the size of New Brit ain. A trip through some of the near by towns and villages serves to bring out the importance of a Main street that is not submerged in darkness after the shades Of night have fallen. There are smaller places than New Britain that serve as good conlpari- sons on this score; there are larger cities, too. that serve as good con1par- isons on this score; there are larger cities, too, that bring out the advant- ages of bountiful illumination.

WiIIow Island Is a waste piece

Willow Island is waste piece of land. Its ownership is in doubt. It sd- joins two of the best communities in the United States, Middletown and Portland, and why it should not be put at the disposal of all of the peo- pie of this immediate section is one of the questions of society yet unsolv- ed. Let the people enjoy the freedom of the island during the season, and thus perpetuate in their memory the delightful scenes of boyhood and girl- hood and they will always long to re- main here, and if they go away will never be satisfied until they return and partalxe of the joys of nature in their own native place. That is what builds a community on a solid founda- tion. It is worth thinking over if nothing else.-Middletown Press

It is a nui- eance always but a nuisance that can be mitigated and nearly eliminated by intelligent effort along lines familiar to most of the residents of this section.
