PARTY PLACED SECOND.

True to their convictions, the thirty or more democrats in congress showed the same opposition to the granting of independence to the Philippines in a few years, as provided by the Clarke amendment to the Philippine bill, when the time came for them to vote in the house as they did in the party caucus. It was Q case where partisan action was called for against the interests of the country and the islands, but where those who refused to be driven by the party whip placed the latter first.
 Even though the defeat of the Clarke amendment had been indicated by the split in the caucus, it did not discour- age the advocates of the scuttle policy. They worked tooth and nail to break down the opposition but. without suc- cess. These men realized the obn- gation of the United States to the is- landers, the more binding because it is moral, and they washed their hands of any effort which would work an injustice both to the F'ilipinos and to this country.
 For years there has been a deter mined effort upon the part of certain politicians to cast off the Philippines. They have purpose in their under taking. There are those who want to get control of the islands and they prefer to give them their assistance and set the islands free because 1t would be much easier to do that than to continue to carry out the policy which was established when the is- lands were taken over They give little consideration to what '1.auld hap pen in the event of the F'il-4 4nos get ting their independence because they do not care. Their purpose is to get rid of the obligation which this coun- try assumed. but fortunately there are those who think otherwise. The is- anders will get their freedom some say, but when that time comes 1t will

THE LOCAL ICE FUNn FOR THE

When 1t is realized how many lives gre lost, particularly among the chil- dren, every summer because of the lack of proper food or the Keeping of it in tho right condition to. insure healthy conditions, 1t must be appre- ciated that the effort which is being made to bring relief in that direction is well conceived. Great benefits are gained through the teaching of those who are not informed thereon how babies should be cared for during the hot weather season, but something moro than instructions are necessary If there is not possessed the money necessary to reach the desired ends little benefit can be expected and the instructions go for nought. If the poorer people had the means to pro- vide the ice for keeping the milk or the food in first class condition, there might be no occasion for pointing out to them how the health. of their chill dren might be improved or their suf- fertngs relieved or even prevented. It is reasonable to believe that they do not deny their families because they prefer sick children to well ones, but that 1t is the result of circumstances
 Thus. in view of the great amount OA 6OOo "OIh WHICH CeiIl DC dOn6 TOT humanity by the raising of an ice fund, there exists an excellent oppor- tunity for the people of this city to join forces and aid by their mite in the commendable cause. If there are ten or dozen cases where such help would not only aid the unfortunate but perhaps save lives, there should be a ready response. It doesn't mean much when many are interested and Norwich has not the reputation of being niggardly when it comes to im- proving conditions of this character.
 The campaign which has been start ed should prove a decided success. The promoters are to be commended for making the start and there ought to be no restrictions to the number aided provided they are worthy and the fund is large enough. Ice funds on a much larger scale accomplish wonders in other cities and there is no reason why it cannot in Norwich.

AN ATTITUDE MORE SHOULD
 TAKE.


 From the interview which was given at Dayvflle by ex-Senator Angus Park it becomes evident that he has been feeling the pulse of labor in the wooIen and worsted industry, and with his customary foresightedness he looks the facts in the face and takes a sound and sensible view of conditions.
 MT. Park has long been a success full mill man and it is evident from the position which he has taken that the consideration which he gives to his employees has contributed mate rially to that end. He recognized the harm which always results to busi- ness and to the operatives when diff ferences arise over working conditions and wages. He makes it evident that he stands for fair treatment and be- lieves that those employed in the same line of work should not be denied ad- vantages because a state boundary ex- ists between them.
 Having made it evident by action that he means what he says, and pointed out the disadvantages to all concerned which is bound to follow labor troubles. he follows a wise course when he takes his employees in to his confidence and outlines the way in which all who are interested can benefit, and there is every reason to believe that the suggestions which he makes will be accepted in the spirit in which they are given.
 It is perhaps unusual for manu- facturer to tackle such a problem in the manner in which MT. Park has, but it is nevertheless a handling of the hard, cold facts in a businesslike manner. It means a readjustment of labor conditions in the same manner that business in general is adjusted to meet new situations, and it is through such cooperation as he sug- Eests that the most favorable and lasting results are going to be obtain ed. If more manufacturers were in clined in the same direction there would be less friction between labor and capital.

Senator Brandegee's Good Work.

senator Branoe9ee'S Good Work.
 Although he took very little part in the debate during the consideration of the army bill, no member of the senate was more active or influential in securing the passage of the army reorganization bill as 1t passed the senate, than Senator Frank Brande- gee of Connecticut. He was Chair man Chamberlain's chief lieutenant on the republican side and was ever alert to take advantage of any situation to secure the adoption of amendments that would increase the strength of the army.
 The adoption of his amendment which increased the strength of the army to 250,O00 was the climax of the quiet campaign that the senator was conducting. When it was originally produced very few members thought there was any prospect of it's adoption. But Senator Brandegee cooperating with Chairman Chamberlain and the other advocates of an adequate army, worked unceasing1y and surprised the pacifists when his amendment came up for adoption.
 Even if the house should not con- cur with the senate the adoption of Senator Brandegee's amendment great Iy strengthens the position of the pre- paredness forces in the fnanl con- sideration fthe bill. - Washington Herald.

tfWell,' announced the man who got on the train at Hyde Park, sthe ivy is finally transplantedi Hooray! Hoo- roop!"
 .@rhe information affects me strange ly, the man from Woodlaiwn assured him. 'sWhen do get the answer?''
 Tar are lucky dog" the Hyde Park man said fervently, because your wife has abStained from the plant habit!

Ioolx!' she insisted, as I was in the midst of the latest Yer dun news, look at this poor thing, Henry! 1t is positively pathetic the way it is trying to grow in this tiny little basket with it's roots sticking out through the bottom as though it had holes in its shoes!

the whereabouts of this vast wealth burned the soles from his feet.
 "The modern investigator of social and industrial conditions paints drabl pictures of the natives in some of the Mexican mines, but these are bright pages compared with the black chap ters of the early days in the rich mines of Guanajuato, where the laiborers, great depths up notched poles, bear ing 100 pound bags of ore on their backs, and then were driven back after scarcely time for breath of fresh air. It was not until about the tins of the death of Shakespeare, Whose tercentenary the world is celebrating this month, that a law was passed in this mining district forbidding the branding of slaves on the lace.
 Brutal taskmasters did not always escape unpunished, however. Fer ins1 stance, in the Valenciana mines, which produced $3J0, DOG, 900 worth of silver in 50 years, the slaves rose in 1760 and massacred every white man in that region.
 '.An apocryphal story, strongly rem iniscent of the Peruvian tale of fire built against an overhanging silver boulder, is told of the discovery of the rich silver deposits of the Guanajuato district. It is related thSt "a band Of muleteers discovered in that neighbor- hood one morning the glitter Of ref1n- ed silver in the dead ashes of their
 campfire.
 "Au the stories of early mining op-
 erations in Mexico are not blotched
 with the blood of peons. There is the interesting, authentic account of the 1 famous Avino mine, worked as an open quarry and deeded by the owner to all the white men who would build their houses close together for mutual pro- tection against hostile tribes. This l was the beginning of tue prosperous City of Sunshine,' Durango.
 'It is of the Durango vicinity, incl i dentally, that one of the most pathetic
 stories of an ancient Prospector.s | blasted hopes is told. Thirty years after the conquest a wealthy Spani- ard, hearing of mountain of solid 1 silver, started on a journey of explora- l tion. He travelled for days, hoping each morning that the rising sun ening treasure. At last it came in, view. He hastened on, but when he l reached the base of the mountain he 1 discovered that 1t was of iron instead | of silver. Crushed in spirit, he camped | that night at the foot the mass of | ferrous ore. Indians fell upon his | band and some of his followers were l killed while the leader himself was mortally wounded. He died while making his way back to the Capital. in the famous mineral mountain, Cerro | de Mercando, one of the r'&hagt out croppings Of iron ore in the world.
 ''No ancient mines of Mexico were mere important to the aborigines than | those of obsidian, the g1assy volcanic. rock from which the Aztecs made most of their edged tools and many of their weapons of war.
 '1nnumerable are the stories of lost mines which imaginative prospectors are constantly 'rediscovcring' for the benefit of credulous investors.

THE HOME AND THE SCHOOL

k-s
 Frequent are the instances where those who are brought in touch with educational work find that thera is not the proper understanding between the home and the school. Too often is the welfare of the child left entirely to the influence of the school teacher. There appears to be a peculiar idea of parental responsibility in great many cases, and in others the ends to which the schools are working are en- tirely misunderstood. This happens in some instances because of a don't care spirit and again because there is not enough interest to find out.
 In order to overcome this situation and to bring about a better coopera- ton between the home and the schools for the benefit of the pupils, there has recently been instituted the National League of Teacher Mothers, the pur- pose of which is to have instructions started in the home when children reach the age of three which will con- tinue for a few minutes each day. These would be given by the mother and would serve to not only get the children acquainted with some of the methods which would be found later in the schools, but it would get the mothers interested in and put them in closer touch with the schools.
 The need of bringing the home and the school closer together is evident. There are too many who look upon the educational institution as the place for turning the children loose. or who look upon the teacher as a nursemaid who has nothing else to do but to give her attention to such principles of dis cipline as ought to be taught at home Thus the possibilities of the league in bringing the home and the school nearer together are many, if it works out as it is planned, but it is more likely that it will suffer through lack of interest like so many other well in tended projects.

MEXICO A COUNTRY

NOPCS4d1 LO 4IAS -4Oul4SI14A'J
 Washington, D. C., May 2. - With one third of all the silver in the world today having come from the mines of Mexico, the metallurgic history of this country has fully justified Humboldt's famous description of it as the treas ure house of the wor1d,'' according to a bulletin issued today by the National Geographic Society of Washington which says:
 "A close contender with the United States for the first place in the pro- duction of silVer-the two having pro- duced nearly seventy per cent of the worlds output in 1914-and ranking fifth as a gold producer, Mexico is easily maintaining it's position as one of the worlds richest nations with respect to minerals, a, position 1t has held since the Spanish conquistadores first began to extort gold from the vaEquished Aztecs.
 When Cortez landed in Mexico he told the natives that the Spaniards suffered from a disease which only geld could cure, and the chivalrous, credulous Aztecs, it is said, sent the Europeans great wheels of precious metal as well as ornaments of all sorts which, reckoned in values of today, were worth S30,000,000.
 Immediately after the conquest the opduIdTuS D0Sdu IO WOIh LlIS SO4u dLAO silver mines of Mexico, but many min eralogists are of the opinion that there are gold mines which were known to the Aztecs and worked by them but which even to this day have been hid den frcm the white man, the Indians actuated by superstition, keeping their secret. As if to substantiate this at titude of the natives, the handsomest monument that graces the City of Mexico between the capitol and the castle of Chapultepec stands to the memory of Cuauhtemoc, the Atzec prince who refused to reveal to t. : conquerors the source of his people wealth, even though his torturers in their endeavor to make him disclose
