SENATOR CORES LESSON.

When Senator Gore got up in the senate and declared that he had of- fered his resolution warning Ameri- cans to keep off of armed liners on no better evidence than something which he had heard others say was the at- titude of the president concerning for eign relations, he revealed not only the weakness of the position which he took but disclosed the real reason for the existing situation in Wash ington, and situation which Ger many was quick to take full advan- tage of as is disclosed in the claim from Berlin that congress stands five to one against the president.
 As soon as the senator began to make inquiries, ala to whether he was right in assuming that such talk as he had heard contained facts, he quickly gained much enlightenment. He learned not only that he was wrongly informed but he got a quick denial from MT. Wilson himself. which there is reason to believe he would have been able to have obtain ed had he sought verifcation before he made his plunge into a matter which has shown him and certain members of congress up in an unfav- orable light
 On a matter of such vital import ance there was certainly the greatest reason for making sure of the ground on which he stood. It was no time tc be swayed by such a. f1imsy pretex- and it is to be hoped that it will prov a lesson which will be a profitable one not only to the senator but to al others in congress who are inclined fO iUTnn at g0SSin reoard1ecs of tL, consequences which may be involved and fnasmuch as Senator Gore has de clared that his position was due t the reports which he believed, ant which have been found to be incor rect, he is doing the proper thinI in leaving no stone unturned un til he has done his utmost to counter act the detrimental effect

Absence of Men In London.
March 2. 1916

The absence of men is now quite apparent in London, in the increasing number of women publicly engaged in mans work. They are plentiful as drivers of vehicles amid the city's scarcely diminished traffic. Messen- ger girls of all sorts, oddly be-uni- formed, fit about the business dis tricts. One of these, returning from an errand to a firm where the office girl had not yet been installed, report ed coEtemptiously that: The place seemed to run entirely by boys"
 Most interesting of all. perhaps, are the lady" stTeet-car conduCtors-so strange an English sight that several London reporters have filled columns about them with chivalrous sentiment. There are mOtOr-women, too, on the troileys of Glasgow. where the traffic Is pretty thick. The London County Council. in its capacity of peoples street car trust, is still of opinion that this last "aint no job for a lady" as the late Lefty DOnelly said in defence of his shooting an innocent bystander. IL Is wonderful enough to see the women conductors competently keep ing their feet on the extremely wobbly London cars-also th%J heads. I admired the way one stopped back talk from a boor she had made put out his cigarette. Please keep your mouth shut" she said icily, and don't bore the rest of the passengers" This did the trick instanter, as no words O1 mere man could. But it was backed up by the steady British glare oi every man present. Maybe that help. | ed

 Essad is ue-Cribed as a wild, prim- itiye character, and. as the descend- CT and antiquity in Albania, he is in- tensely patriotic. In the days of Turk ish rule he early identified himself with the Young Turk party, although he later became their bitter opponent He intrigued against Abdul Habid to avenge the assassination of his elder brother by Abduls agents.
 When the Balkan war broke out Es- sad fought with the Turks and gained a high reputation by the skill of his defense of Scutari in 1913. The prom thence the heads of his family had held as robber chiefs bred in him the ambition to become king of Albania. But he was forced by the European powers to agree to the choice of Prince William of Wied. The truce was not long. The new kings inca pacity and lack of tact soon caused Essad to organize a revolt. But Prince William fled to the protection of Aus trian wahships- Essad himself was arrested and detained for a time, but releaced through Italian media ton.

THE NEW PENNSYLVANIA.

With the completion of the test of the new superdreadnought Pennsy1- vauia, and every indication as the re- suit of it that the report of the naval board which made the test will be favorable, 1t is apparent that 1t is bound to be a, valuable addition to the navy. It has shown up well in ali it's trials and has even exceeded the re- qtiirenents in many respects. In the matter of speed 1t has bettered by three quarters of knot the 21 knots called for in the contract but it must be apparent that such speed is noth- ing to brag about when the attain ments of vessels of a like type in other navies are considered.

 The road by the fair grounds should he developed as a route for antos. Why not lay that out as a bouyevard? There was some talk of improving the road but it did not go far enough If laid out with trees and shrubs we'll grouped and planted the property own CTS along the route should be willing to give the land needed to the town, also the loam for grading and plant ing. They would be the gathers by the added value of their property.

 Right you are Mayor Murphy. get out your hammer and knock A little healthy knocking is good for us all. lest we get too snug and conceited. Norwich is improving, but look ahead Q bit. Let those approaches be care fully planned, not for Norwich of to- day. but for what she is going to be fifty or more years hence Land for improvements will never be cheaper than now.
 Nothing Is too good for the Rose of New England. Keep her worthy the name.

iosis is caused by micro organisms or germs. If he holds to this belief he should abandon the use of curative medicine as Osler has. Perhaps. how ever, on occasion, they or he employs OSler's prescription, nux vomica and hope. The original germ killer idea, however, seems to have miserably failed if we are to believe what we glean from the medical journals. From a paper recently read before the Phila- delphia County Medical society by Walter Sands Mills, A. B., NJ. D., we learn that in the treatment of pneu- monia at the great Rockefeller insti- ute where the treatment is entirely by serums Dr. Cole reports treating 12 cases with a mortality of 32 per cent. At the Rockefeller institute during the last two or three years they have made an intensive study of pneumonia and claim to have the most slkilful treatment known to science. Now it may be of interest to learn the results obtained in Flower hospital, the insti- tuition endowed by the late Gov. Ros- well P. Flower. This institution re- l ports the treatment of 6S cases with a mortality of S.S per cent, a trifie over | one-fourth as many as reported by the germ theorists. When we recall the various promises and predictions con- corning the great advances made in | conquering disease by modern bac- | teriologtcal science and note the re- | suits obtained, we do not regret keep | ing the M. D.'s and nurses out of the | public schools the past i4 years. It is | evident that under this modern system | of medicine man Is always to be but never is blessed.

THE SOUND LINES,

Tn the hearings which have been held at New York and Boston, and the one now underway at Providence be- fore examiners of the interstate com merce commission relative to the Sound lines of steamboats of the New Haven road, 1t has been shown by the preponderance of the evidence submit ted that there Is no clamor for any change. Witnesses who are represen- tative of the communities, business houses and industries throughout New England have, almost to a man, set before the commission the fact that they are satisfied with existing condi- tions and that well enough should be let alone
 That the business is not monopolized is shown by the fact that not only are other lines being operated but that large outlays in railroad con- struction and boatbuiIding have been made by the Grand Trunk road for the purpose of engaging in just such traffic from the port of Providence. That extension will never be finished if the road Is not to be allowed to get its freight to New York by boat and certainly it would not be just to permit one railroad to engage in such U HdIlSpoEI EIdtiou LATouSn oWneFSnlp OI water lines if that same right is to be denied to another.
 The regulating which the interstate commission is expected to do has al- ways been supposed to be in the in- terest of the people who would be affected by the service involved In- stead of New England seeking a change 1t is taking the very opposite attitude. It understands the handi- caps that would result to business ii the Sound lines were divorced and in- stead of pleading for relief from un- just treatment, 1t tells the commits sion openly and frankly that 1t is wei and fairly taken care of and asks that an injustice be prevented by leaving the water lines as they arc under railroad direction.

CONGRESSMAN rTLsoN's POINT

While the question of preparedness has been before congress there have been frequent references to the fact that it is necessary to give some thought to the need of providing for something more than the actual in crease in the army and navy They must of necessity get full considera- tion and perhaps a greater share of the attention but the industrial side of the question cannot be safely over looked.
 Congressman Tflson sees the need of making provision for the firearms that would be required. It is not enough that there is a supply of arms on hand sufficient to take care of the present army since a much larger number of men would have to be equipped and there would be @ con- stant demand for new equipment and the turning out of such implements requires time.
 No better example of that exists than is furnished by manufacturing establishments in this country which are still working diligently to get to- gether the necessary machinery and tools for the filling of orders which | were received from foreign countries
 
 make a very extended inquiry before he discovered that Uncle Sam would | be facing just such a delay in getting emergency orders filled. The time tc i plan for overcoming just such sit I nation is at hand. That this govern ment has not the tools necessary tc overcome such a handicap is sufficient reason for the congressman urging action upon that point at this time It may be one of the minor details o. preparation but 1t Is certainly one which ought not to be either over 1 looked or sidetracked.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In the Interest of Our Many Citizens.

In the Interest of Our Many Citizens.
 Mir. Editor: Having fully digested the last utterance of Another Citizen and failing to find therein anything to tell us in what manner our chil- dren are to be benefited by medical in- spection, 1t looks as if we would be forced to pass this matter up. It is plainly evident that such little matter as that is considered as none of the publics business. He seems, however, to be long on advice even if he is short on information, for he immedi- ately plunges into the question and essays to tell the people that if they don't like the present law they can dig down into their pockets and em- ploy competent counsel to test its con- stitutionality. In this he displays the usual characteristics of the breed of political M. D.'s whose greatest cry Is money, and then more money, office. and then more office.
 If the citizens who have opposed this iniquitous law at the various town meetings had as little regard for the welfare of the towns treasury as these self seeking political shysters the town would long ere this have been imbroil- ed in litigation. Here let me say that our propaganda is in the interest of our many citizens who know full well their inherent medical rights and who also know that those rights are being taken from them by a few men who consider the practice of medicine a monopoly and who look upon every citizen and his children as mere sub jects of that monopoly.
 In his reference to Heinzs 57 varie- ties he seems to find 1t difficult to dis criminate between pickles and mi crobes, otherwise he would not advise administering Heinz's preparations hypodermically. This Is not surpris- ing, however. as no doubt his mind has been so thoroughly engrossed ir peruStng vaccine farm literature thai it has at last become an obsession. Now, MT.

Nothinn Too Good For Norwich.


 MT Editor: Mayor Murphy hit the nail on the head in his remarks at the Firemen's banquet in regard to the approaches to the Rose of New Eng land. It is time Norwich woke up to its possibilities before the Rose of New England" becomes a joke.
 The scenic beauties of Norwich are magnificent, but 1t Is very easy for man either to add to that beauty. or by want of careful planning to de- tract greatly from 1t.
 It must strike the stranger coming into Norwich through North Main street or Thames street that the Rose Is a little passe, something like the village I lived in at Long Island. W. Y. Between the harbor and the main highway leading to the summer col ony there was a plot of land which the farmers were permitted to use as . landing for New York stable manure which was brought in boats and dump od in large piles to be hauled away during the winter at the farmers con- venicnce. The fumes in the meantime were neither healthy nor inviting. The spot became known as "Tuberose Park" The citizens finally woke up and converted the plot into a real park and it is now one of the beauty spots | of the town. They did not stop there, | though for the railroad station has been remodeled and the approaches | improved by grass plots and groups i of shrubs etc. Norwich is in a good way 10 have her cognomen applied as | Q joke like "Tuberose Park"
 | was in Providence recently and in | talking with one of the most prom | !nent business men I mentioned Nor wich. "Oh. yes" he said. "I was there | last fall and 1t struck me as being not | a very attractive city, at least the | business part" Now 1t takes a lot | of boosting to overcome such impress | Sions. It Is not too late to begin to | plan to make Norwich, indeed. the Rose of New England. The railroad 1 approaches could be greatly improv- | plots of grass. That iron guard rail and old wooden bridge on Main street | over the c. V. railroad is to say the l least, not impressing. In planning l improvements in the streets in the res- ldential section, space should be allow cd for strip of grass at least three
 feet wide between the curb and the for the eye and for planting and main
 taining health and vigor of trees. | A boulevard on one of the approach es laid out similar to Blackstone
 boulevard in Providence with grass
 and shrubs in the center and grass
 between the curb and sideyalk would
 go a long way toward making Nor
 wich worthy of being called the Rose
 of New England.
 The city should set an example tc
 the citizens by properly caring for thC
 trees and shrubs, and by beautifyinE l the public buildings where ever it i:
 possible by little well planned plant

Unpreparedness.

Mir. Editor: As veteran of the Civil war, I feel very much more in love with peace than with war. There is but one peace footing, and that is the universal acceptance of the divine precepts which all churches teach.
 The world does not accept these pre- cepts, and we see the spirit of Attila represented by 10,000.O0O armed men looming above the spirit of Christ in the Christian world, which 1t is taking 15,000.00O men of war to check: and we witness in this country a war pro- paganda being carried on by a foreign organization averse to American inter ests and in defiance of American peace today. which is a menace to the wei fare of the republic.
 There is danger in militarism, but less danger in preparedness. The question is: Will you defend yourself against violence, brigandage and rapine or become a non-resisting victim2
 If F.. Lyman Gould prefers to be a willing victim, no one can object: but the spirit which gave birth to this re- public, and has defended the flag to protect 1t as an asylum for the op- Tressed of all nations. declines to sub init to tyranny in the name of Ford and his followers or in the name of the J Lord.
 Peace hath her victories No less renowned than war" But they have only been won by the | valiant: and the valiant know that in this world a submissive spirit promotes | tyranny. much more effectively than ! the spirit of resistance.
 The spirit of the American people | has been echoed and re-echoed in the words of Patrick Henry since the birth | of this nation: Give us liberty or give | us deathi"
