lea in defense of neutral rights. Such
a league would have had a powerful
influence and prevented some of the
horrors of the war and saved US from
some of the difficult and dangerous
controversies which now face US.
Weak on Lusitania Affair.
More than a hundred American
men, women and children rightfuIIy
on board the Lusitania, were sent to
their death without warning, and
nothing has yet been done except to
pour out words and carry on incon-
elusive negotiations for eight months.
Not until February 25th when the
presidents note to Senator Stone an
peared, was any real step taken to
protect Americans in their rights, and
that step which the president then
took in words boldly and clearly, but
IN words alone, came only because his
own party in the house were cIamor-
ing for the public surrender of Amer
lean rights, in order to conciliate at
once belliSerents and its voters The
democratic party showed itself to be
worse than it's own administration
There is, it would seem a point OF
humiliation at which the president
stops, definitely, / trust; firmly. I
hope. There is no such point appar-
emily to be found in the action of the
party to which he belongs
Virtue of Keeping Peace.
1--WE are told that the great cry OF
the democratic party is to be thai
their president has kept peace. The
virtue of keeping the peace depends
! altogether on how Ii is kept. The
man who runs away and leaves his
wife or daughter or sister to be as.
saulted and outraged keeps the peace
and is not worthy to cumber the
! earth. You can always keep the peace
| If you will submit to any wrong, t.
| any outrage, to any oppression. TIL,
! peace of this country would have beer
| far better kept, we should be in IA
! less danger of war today or of wa,
| when peace comes among the warriny
nations of Europe, if we had kept i
without humiliation; kept it in homo
and without fear.
Republicans Insist on Protection.
We all want peace, we all ar
| against war if it can possibly D.
avoided: but we shall insist, we re
publicans at least, that American
rights shall be protected at home an
abroad.
Let US forever dismiss from OF
minds the idea that the nations lif
depends on the preservation of gu
| individual lives. The life of q natio,
lies in its ideals. If it abandons it
ideals of humanity and justice if
casts aside its principles, if it become
tributary and subject, then the natio,
| is dead even if it's citizens live on,
country whence honor, hope and as
piration have fed

alarm was sounded and both B. F.
Hoxie Engine company and the Mys-
tic Hook & Ladder company were
prompt in responding.
Ernest Bliven drove the new fire
truck. Pipe was laid and two streams
of water were applied. The fremen
had to do some hard fighting in order
to get the fire under control and at
building would go. John Lewis, Leon
Richmond and James Boylen got as
many OF the papers and prescriptions
out as possible and they were taken
to the store of Bernard Lamb, across
the street. The building is two and
one-half stories and is occupied by
the Wheeler's Drug store on the first
floor and by DIR. L. NJ. Allyn's office
at the front of the second floor and
store room for the Wheclers for the
remainder. On the east side of the
building is the Central Hall block
Co. block. Both OF these blocks were
at one time threatened and tenants OF
both removed their valuable papers.
Both Mr.. Wheeler and DR.. Allyn had
pity this store had to be burned as
it was the finest store in the village.
Ehe fremen did good work and the
new fire engine and fire alarm sys-
tenn worked so well that the taXpay-
ers were grateful that Mystic has
such efficient apparatus.

Charles n. Steadnan called Sheriff
by some CT his intimates, received the
congratulations of many friends on
Wednesday, his seventy ninth birth
day. Mr.. Steadman is a we'll known
millman and for years was boss spin
ner in the Potter Hill mill. Mr.. Stead
man received the title of sheriff in q
peculiar way. Years ago, Joseph
Henderson drove into Westerly with
! a CARLOAD of potatoes, and, before
reaching his destination, a store To-
Gated OF the site of the present Pot
| ter-Langworthy building, he became
intoxicated. So much so that he was
| unable to discharge the cargo of po-
| tatoes unassisted. His actions at
| tracted a crowd and the store was
| partially invaded.
The proprietor of the store request
ed Mr.. Steadman to quiet Mr.. Hender-
| son and TO keep the crowd back, and
| Mr.. Steadman started in to do as re-
quested. He bore a strong resemb-
| lance at that time to Edward G. Cum
| dali, then sheriff of Washington coun-
| ty. Hardly had Mr.. Steadman com
menced the work of restoring order.
when Mr.. Mcpherson approached him
saying: 'See here, Sheriff CundalI, if
you want to arrest me, why in hell,
don't you start IMP" Mr.. Steadm-n
and the rest Of the crowd smiled and
| then and there and forever after 1t
was Sheriff Steadman.

Provisions of Bill.
The amendment to the constitution
proposed in this petition provides for
registration of all voters in all cities
and towns Of 1000 population and
more. The city clerk shall be the
registrar in such cases, and in the
AbscuCC 1f such an crncal the mayor
shall appoint a registrar Registra-
tion shall be every two years, but the
first registration period is Sept. %
to oct %, 1916.
The bill provides that it shall be
self-eXecuting and no act of the legis-
laturc shall be required to vitalize it.
That the petitions will receive a
sufficient number of signers to assure
their submission and that when sub
mitted the amendment will be adopted
seems to be the opinion generally
even among democrats. The belief
is that the republicans and socialists
of the state will unite in voting for
the bill.

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
Neglect of Important Func-
tions May Seriously I'M
pair the Health.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a
constipated condition. Bloat, with its
attendant mental depression, sick
headache, the belching of sour stom-
ach gases, etc, are frequently due to
inaction of the bowels. Relieve the
congestion and the trouble usually dis
appears. The use Of cathartics and
purgatives should be avoided, howev-
er; these shock the system unneces-
sarily and, at best, their effect is but
temporary. A mild laxative is far
preferable.

herbs known as DR.. Caldwells Syrup
