FRENCH TAKE TO PIPES

These Interests Pay
Brandies the Compliment
of Their Opposition

When il became known that President
Wilson had sent to the senate the name
of Louis D. Brandeis, for the seat on the
bench of the United States supreme
court made vacant by the death Of JUS
tice Lamar, no man who reads the news
papers had to ask "Who is Louis d.
Brandeis ?"
Brandeis has never held a state or ma
tional office, but there are few men in
the country better known.
Which means, we wish to submit, that
he must have done something to attract
attention to himself something, too,
that was worth while.
Which means, we would submit again,
that there is something TO the man.
Opposition to confirmation Of Brandeis
has developed from the very source
whence it would be expected, and is spon-
taneous enough to amount TO compli-
ment.
In this connection his great public
aervice in exposing the land grabbers in
voIved in the interior department scam
dal. during President Taft's administra-
tion, is recalled.
There is also recalled the fight he
waged in behalf of Boston against the
ras companies down there which result
ed in benefits both for the stockholders
in the several companies and for the
consumers.
There is also recalled the movement
which he led that revolutionized indus
trial insurance methods in New England
and which resulted in savings that chal-
lenge anything like an accurate estimate.
1t will be recalled, also. that one time
when the railroads wanted to boost their
rates. pleading inability to survive,
Brandeis appeared before the interstate
commerce commission and demonstrated
that the plight of the railroads was due
to their own inefficiency, and presented
figures to show that efficiency would oc-
complish more for them than higher
rates.
1t is not strange, in view of activities
like these. that Brandeis should have
made some enemies and some powerful
ones at that, and that his nomination for
this seat on the supreme bench should
meet with opposition
They declare he is too radical; that he
is a Socialist and biased
They represent interests that have al
ways been well pleased upon occasions
when men biased the other way have
been placed upon the bench Of this court.
None Of these go so far, however, as
to question the ability Of Brandeis as
lawyer.
He is one Of the ablest lawyers in the
country.
Against the fact, there are those who
oppose the nomination for no other rea-
son than that of racial prejudice
A little of this wilr go Tong ways.
The least little bit of it will give the lie
TO the promises Of our constitution.
Brandeis, despite the opposition to
him, none Of which is well-founded and
some of which is exceedingly regrettable,
would wear the robe weII.

The Times welcomes another publish

Eat a Square Meal and
 Not Fear Indigestion

There are hundreds of people In Nor wich who were not the least bit sur prised when they read a while ago that druggists are now selling Mi-o-na on a guarantee to refund the money in case it did not relieve. This remark able dyspepsia remedy has proved 1t will relieve the worst case of indiges- played-out condition that affiicts every one suffering with stomach trouble Mi-o-na does not simply relieve. 1t aims to cure.
 There is hardly a druggist but can tell you of many well known people In this city who this remedy has restored to health, often after they have tried many other methods of treatment with little or no benefit. We really believe no other dyspepsia remedy has made so large percentage of cures as Mi-o-na. It is so large that dealers who have sold it for years stand ready to refund the price to any customer whom 1t does not help.
 praise of a pleased customer, and there are hundreds today praising Mi-o-na advertised to do. A few months ago they could eat nothing without wonder ing what the result would be Since using Mi-o-na they eat what they want and when they want with no fear or suffering. This medicine comes in the form of a tablet and is very pleasant to take. It speedily and permanently
 relieves almost all forms of stomach misery and Is the only one sold under a positive guarantee without any rn- tion, to refund the money if it does not relieve. You can get Mi-o-na on this basis from Lee & OsgoOd or any lead | ing druggist in Norwich.

track. It makes it difficult for pas- sengers to climb through the train on the first track so the train on the third track is supposed to wait until the other pulls out. These men wait cd until the Hartford train left and
 to their surprise the Providence train
 had gone also. Train Announcer Killoury was as much surprised as they, as he was waiting to announce the leaving of the train. The men
 turned on Yardmaster Palmer and de- manded an explanation. He seemed to think that it was due to careless ness on their part that they had been left. However, he did all he could to straighten out matters and help them to their destinations. Most of them were bound for Providence and had to wait for the 12.14 going by way of Blackstone. One man was going to Lisbon and was to drive from there to Glasgo, a. team having been engaged to meet the 9.52 train. Anoth- CT said that he had used mileage for a number of years but this time he had bought a ticket. It was raining steadily and a railroad station on a
 rainy day Is not the best place to cul- | tivate a pleasant temper, but with that philosophy that is part of the travel | of it. The local officials do not seem | to have been at fault, but rather the conductor of the Providence train who did not wait until the Hartford train
 on the first track had gone.

Representative of Electric Boat Go. Informs Secretary Daniels.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Represent- atives of the Electric Boat company. lowest bidder for the two big 1,5O0 submarines authorized by congress last year. informed Secretary aDniels today that it would be impossible to turn out the vessels in twenty two months as desired by the navy de- partment and that instead 1t would take fully two years and half. They said it not only would be obliged to make certain experiments before un- of such proportions.
 Naval officials now are considering g the question of recommending to con- gress a modification in the law to permit them to award contracts for a smaller type of vessel which might be built more quickly. Aside from other considerations, some eX- perts of the navy favor keeping sub marines within Q limit of 1900 tons until an actual trial has been given the largest boat now building, the Schley. of the 1900 type, under con- struction by the Electric Boat com pany: The Schley is to be complet- ed within three years from the date of the contract or by March 19, 1918, Secretary Daniels, answering sug- Sestions that too much time had been allowed in this case. sent a letter to Chairman Padsett of the house naval committee today explaining that three years had been fixed because of the lack of experience in building vessels of that size.

The firemen then worked to save the residence of Charles T. Williams. which was only about 15 feet from the burning building, The wind being from the east was in the firemen's favor and MT.

Discomforts of the Storm.

Wilimantic was a wet city Friday. The rain started in late Thursday night and continued all day soaking everything in good shape. The snow is about gone from the streets but plenty of ice remains, making it pret- ty slippery walking. Many cellars and basements were flooded there be- ing a couple of feet of water in the cellar of the opera house building this morning. The rain caused the snow and ice which has gathered on the roofs of buildings to slide off, some of it coming down in punches. A number were out with picks and chop pers getting rid of the ice on the side walks. There were no sessions at the public schools, the fire alarg ring ing at the usual time.
