LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Transporting School Children.

MT. Editor:-In regard to the trans portation of my children on Parish Hill in Back Road district, there has been no profit from the sum of one hundred dollars for transporting my children to the bus, covering the dis tance of three and one-half miles per day for two hundred school days, and simply ask to be relieved of this job on account of my health. I volunteer ed to do this job for one hundred dol lars in case they failed to get anyone else to do it. This offer I now coun- termand since the board has voted to give me fifty dollars for the same. Under no consideration will I do this work for less than one hundred and fOrty-fve dollars which is five dollars less than was bid by other parties. Until this thing is settled my children will be ready and waiting for their full transportation in front of my house which is four and one-haf miles from their school and seven -eighths Of a mile from where the bus crosses, a lonely and untravelled road. If the town cannot meet these requirements they must be prepared for law. There is no joking about it.

DOLLAR DAY.

The merchants of Norwich are an ticipating much from Dollar Day which has been arranged for tomor- row and they have good reason to, for this is the logical and convenient trading center of this part of the state. while the trade advantages which are offered by the Norwich Zer- chants, equalizing in many instEnces those of the big cities, have' long since been recognized and apIEeciated by those who do the buying.
 It is not therefore the merchants alone who have reason to look for ward to Dollar Day with anticipation. Everyone in this part of the state, whether they are accustomed to do their trading exclusively in Norwich or not, cannot fail to be attracted by the opportunities which are afforded on these occasions. Dollar Day had a successful initiation sometime ago and there have since been equally good demonstrations of the effective ness of the cooperation among the merchants which makes such Q trad ing day possible.
 With the business houses working together for trade development from which the buyers are bound to reap appreciable benefits, it is but natural that they should expect a large re- sDonse and those who are wise to their own interests throughout east ern Connecticut will make it a point to i'll out their want lists when it can be done to the best advantage. It likewise presents an opportunity to get better acquainted with the trad ing facilities which Norwich affords the year around.

POLITICAL
4 chaIIenae to the Future


 Mir. Hughes criticism of the diDlo- macy of the Wilson administration is amaStcriy indictment. We know that the main asset of the Democratic cam paIgn is the unCOnsciOusly yet bitterly ironiC formula: He kept us out of war To this MT. Hughes calm but singing analysis is a staggering answer. From this review of four years of unhappy ineptitude we realize that we have been kept peTpetually on the rim of war. where COura gCOus firm ness would have thrust US safely back from the abyss; we realize that after four years of dizzy balancing We are still in the midst Of intolerable compIi- cations, still threatened and still un- prepared.
 And we find ourselves, despite the re- peated and ever present warnings of events, not only unprepared within but with our credit among nations shame fully impaired, cur chief defense against afrOnt and injUry-the respect Of our rivals-laid low.
 If this is keeping us out of war, we nave paid heavy price not merely in national self-rcspect but in actual se- curity and it is time for the Ameri- car people to ask themselves whether with any consideration of their own safety or of the well being of their children, such a policy, such pllotage, can be longer a.Ccepted-the policy of fallaciOus peace which perpetuates danger and a rudderless piIotage
 MT. Hughes survey of the immediate past challenges our future. We have muddled along, but our gratitude for such immunity as we have enjoyed should be directed to Providence. The question now is how dare we go on into a future full of the gravest possibilities under such guidance as we have had for four years s?-Chicago Tribune.

MUNICIPAL CLEANJTNzse

With the cause of infantile paralysis assigned to filth and uncIean C0ndi- uons which are tolerated by munich paitie5 despite the claims which are made to the effect that sanitary measures are insisted upon it is made apparent that whatever has been done in the past in the way of clean ug efforts there are plenty of places where 1t has by no means been over done and enough where it has not even come up to the requirements when the health of a community is involved.
 Even in large centers where disease breeding conditions have been tOI- erated in the past because of a 1az- ness on the part of the authorities in carrying on inspections and seeing that orders were obeycd. there is s-fIl evidence which goes to show that inc epidemic, despite the high mortaIitv rate among children, has not stirred those communities to a full reaIiza- ton of their responsibility. There is Of course. need of efficient service on the part of the authorities but there is also individual responsibility which needs to be exercised ana it is be- cause of the lack of that that great CT attention needs to be given to if by the municipality.
 There is need for a new birth in III 'll-cIp2l oiF9'7.f70 Something more than a periodical cleanup is needed. CIean.ue9s .sGou.u prevail at all times with the individual. in the homes, and about the streets. Spotless towns made up Of spotIess homes are a most important protection against disease. There can be no better health insurance

AN UNWIsE EFFORT FOR ECON.
 OMY.

Democratic economy manifests it. selI in peculiar ways. It is consid- cred advisable to spend millions for the erection of govsrnment buildings and the financing of projects through out the country when there is no crying need for such action but when it comes to fixing a suitable salary for officials who are expected to ren- der the highest service there is an en- tirely different view taken.
 There is little or no objection to the expenditure of millions for matters which could wait just as well as not, and in some cases for objects which never ought to be sanctioned. because there is a certain amount of patron age involved and election day is not a great way off, but there is Q grcSt amount of haggling over a few thou sand dollars where there ought to be no question about the wisdom of it's use
 This is disclosed by the action which has been taken by the two houses relative to the salary of the members of the tariff commission. It can be appreciated that the ability of the men to be named for such i'm portant work depends to a large ex- tent upon the salary of the office. The senate fixed this at $10,0OO The house reduced the amount to $7,5OO but the senate caucus upon the matter has restored it to the original amount. The idea of trying to save $15, 900 by such a plan is too Dunt to take up the time of the law makers. It in dicates a wrong inclination and is in tended to bring about an inferior commission, a situation which should certainly be avoided for the welfare of the country.

OPENING THE SCHOOL S.

The question which is uppermost in the minds of school boards at the present time concerns the opening of the schools. Different views of it are taken in different places according to whether the community has had a number of cases of infantile paralysis to deal with, whether it is in a sec tion where those from the big cities where it is prevalent have gone or whether it has been fortunate enough to have avoided all danger.
 It is well known that schools are the very places where such a disease would cause great havoc. It is there that those who are particularly sus- oep&ble to it are gathered in num- spers Rnd if quarantine measures or Hhs pEpbation to which many have
 been subjected during the summer is nog going to be cast aside it is nec- esssry to take the proper precautions Regarding the opening of the schools if safety Is going to be observed.
 It is upon this idea that the local school board has acted in delaying the opening until the 25th of Septem- Ter. It is action in accord with that taken by many other school boards elsewhere and even though some may tAstllAL L4ldL lItGLG lS IlO udL5GI III open ing the schools as originally planned there will be the satisfaction of know 7pg that no chances have been taken Egarding such an important matter 1t is far better to cause this delay of th-ee weeks and see that the children returning to the city after their va cation are free from the trouble than 70 disregard the preventive measure and be forced to take much more rigid action after 1t is too late. Bet tor such action on the side of safety than a disregard for the protection of the children.

The army appropriation bill reported to the senate calls for a, total of $328,- 000,000, and the navy and fortiGcacion bills carry the grand total up to $669- the sum appropriated in each of the last two fiscal years. These figures in dicating our progress in prepared ness" are the more impressive when considered in connection with the new revenue bill accompanying them. Most of us are willing to pay it's costs now, but when the world is at peace again the increased taxation may he expect ed to produce no little GrumbIing.- TOrrington Register.

Cause and Effect.

There is complaint at the War De- partnent that recruiting for the diff ferent militia units has suddenly fallen fiat. This fall, however, is no more sudden than the reversal of the admin istration's policy toward Mexico, of which it is the natural consequence. To enlist for the purpose of uphOIding the honor of the flag is one thing; to enlist for the purpose of 'stewing on the border is quite another thing and one not nearly so likely to appeal to the enthusiasm of American youth New York Herald.

The great majority of pedestrians might take a secret satisfaction in a condition that tended to reduce rather than increase the number of autos, but 1 to the rapidly increasing number of owners the announcement that the
 cost of running a car was less rather than more would be 9 source of con-
 siderable and pIeasureable interest. The recruits to the ownership total,
 from the ranks of the complaining pe- destrians, are many and quite rapidly increasing, and once a pedestrian owns a car the aspect of affairs is vastly changed and he looks at the matter from an entirely new angle. The per son wishing to cross the crowded street wonders if the automobile own CT thinks that he is the only person whose convenience is to be considered, and the automobile owner wonders why those stupid foot-passengers are eternaIIy getting in the way.-Bridge- port Standard.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Every year some main highway is closed for improvement. At Chester a new bridge is in course of con struCtion and the road has been closed the greater part of the season. High way improvement has not as yet ar rived at the railroad improvement stage where traffic goes on just the same.-Middletown Press.
 In New Haven the other day an arrogant automobile driver was for the second time fined $50 and costs for operating lis machine while under influence of alcoholic liquors. In Massachusetts such cases receive a fine of at least $2O0 and several
 months m jail. This party explains why proportionately there are so
 many more automobile accidents in Connecticut than in Massachusetts. In that State the judges have a sane reckless driVing-Bristcl Press. If we are to wait for congress to stay the paper famine it will be a long wait. The alternative is to check waste as much as we can in other places and then take up the task of electing members of the national con- gress who will not abuse their posi- tiOns and waste the national treasure by such doings as now pass almost unchalIenged. We will have to sit up ourselves and take stern notice before our representatives will do likewise. They are always about three whole laps behind the average citizen in an appreciation of public opinion.--Anso- mia Sentinel

Systematic Saving Plan.

Owing to the growing popular
ity of various kinds of savings
clubs and the success they have
proven elsewhere, the Navajo
Apache Bank and Trust Co. has
Instituted a systematic saving
plan to which it invites attention.
In order to encourage partici-
pants in this plan the bank will
give the first dollar to deposit,
after which the customer will de-
posit one dollar per week for for
ty-nine consecutive weeks, which
payments will be registered in a
neat book made for the purpose,
and at the expiration of the term
the book becomes an interest
bearing $50 Gold Bond, or the
depositor may draw $50 in gold.
The same plan has been work.
ed out successfully in other
places under various names, such
as Christmas saving clubs, vaca-
tion savings accounts, and last
year many people participated in
just such schemes to save for
their trip to the P. P. l. exposi-
ton. But whatever name is CIV
en- to the scheme the result is
the same. 1t creates the saving
habit. The bank starts the ac-
count with a gift dollar, then the
depositor places another dollar to
the credit Of his certificate and
in forty-nine weeks it is done.
You have $50, either to draw in
terest for you at the rate of 5
per cent per annum, for your
trip, for Christmas gifts, or any
other purpose for which you may
care to use it.
1t is not hard to save dollar
or two each week, and $50 or
$100 saved out Of ones loose
change or pin money each year
is a very handsome amount.
You are invited to investigate
this plan, and the Navajo-Apa-
che Bank and Trust Co. has S100
to give away in starting these
accounts.
