Quagmire of Mud and Oil.

Oiling the state road proceeded I'M
der considerable difficulties the latter
part of last week and the first of this
week, owing to the unusual amount of
rain, which made the worst mess i'm
aginable, and the oil that was not
washed into the sewers was tracked
into the stores and houses. At one
time last Monday afternoon nearly the
whole surface of the Ashuelot river be-
low the village was covered with oil
which had been washed off the road.
There was such a quagmire of mud
! and oil on Canal street that the whole
surface had to be scraped off.

The Prohibition Amendment

From Washington, Tuesday, came
the assurance that the prohibition to
the Constitution will be considered at
this session of Congress- The pro-
hihition as introduced at this session.
is practically the same as voted upon
in the House in December, 1914, at
which time it received a majority of
eight votes-13 including pairs.
In each branch of Congress the
resolution has been referred to the
committee on the judiciary, and as is
customary. the committee has re-
ferred it to the appropriate sub com
mittee for consideration. In the Sen
ate the sub committee in charge of
the amendment consists Of the follow
ing: Senators Chiffon of West Vir-
ginia. Fletcher Of Florida, Shields of
Tennessee, Borah Of Idaho and Cum
minis Of Iowa; while In the House the
sub committee consists of Repre-
sentatives Carlin Of Virginia, Taggart
OF Kansas, Gard of Ohio, Whaley of
South Carolina, Volstead Of Mime
sofa. Nelson of Wisconsin and Nor
gan of Oklahoma The gentleman
ramed first, on each subcommittee is,
of course, the chairman.
The country is watching these gen.
tlemen and their activities. They
will be held largely responsible for
the fate of the amendment, but some
of those who vote are we'll aware of
the penalty of voting wrong.

What the World 10 Saying.

do you wish to have all the world
say that the flag Of the United States
can be stained with impunity?"
President Wilson put this question to
his audience at Des Moines and the
crowd reared back the answer, NO"
with great emphasis.
Yet this is exactly what the world is
saying and what the world has been
saying for months-to be accurate. the
world has been saying this since the
day. immediately following the sink.
ing Of the Lusitania, when Mr.. Wilson
went to Philadelphia and made his IA.
nous too proud-to-fight" speech.
One would think, from the Presi-
dents language at Des Moines. that he
believes the people to be responsible
for whatever insults the flag Of the
United States has received in the last
nine months. But there has never
beer a day when the people were not
restless and uneasy and Inundated by
the thought that their country had
fallen to such a position in the world
esteem.
The entire fault has been President
Wilson's. He now asks if the people
are content to have their President do
nothing but write notes. Yet 1t 10 not
SO long ago that he believed that his
notes were the acme of national de-
fence, and that his rickety old type
writer was a more efficient armament
than either battleships or forts. The
President has a gift Of good language
and a most plausible method Of gloss
ing over an undesirable situation-but
the people know the facts. They most
emphatically do not wish to have all
the world say that the flag of the
United States can be stained with i'm
punity." And because that is not
their wish they intend to terminate
Woodrow Wilson's term in the White
House.

War Order Prosperity.

Increased sales and better collections
all over the United States, as a result
of our war order prosperity, are shown
by the second annual merchandise re-
search report of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World, which COM
pares the 1915 trade in six representa-
tive business lines with 1914. During
two-thirds of 1914 trade in all lines
was stagnating in this country, but
in 1915 the ring of gold poured into the
lap Of America by the stupendous
trade incentive Of the European war,
becomes the clink of coin on the coun-
tiers of the retailers.
The report shows the following in
creases in sales, by percentages, 1916
over 1914, in the lines investigated:
Department stores, 1879; grocery
stores, $50; clothing stores, 1897;
hardware stores, 1887; drug stores
1856; jewelry stores, 1890. Every
geographical division shows an in.
crease in retail trade in these six lines
in 1915 over 1914, the smallest being re.
corded in the Pacific States, California,
Oregon and Washington, where the
effect of the war order stimulus in dis.
polling the Democratic business de-
preston of 1914 has been felt more re.
motely. The S. S. Kresge Company
five and 10 cent stores, show increased
sales, over 1914 of 30.l1s.

bearers We're Roscoe Carr Edwin Carr,
Everett Besse and Thomas Rowe She
was laid to rest in the family lot in the
Smith cemetery.
The deceased was married in her youth
to George F Carr. who died in 1888. In
1894 she was married TO Charles F. Ar
mold who survives her. About a year
and a half ago she sustained a slight
shock. BY the advice of friends and her
physician she went to the home Of an In
innate friend in Pawtucket. r. l.. Mrs
Eta Watson. whose husband is skilled
physician. From there she went to the
home of her brother-in-law Col. f. E
Hatch, who was then stationed at Wash
ington. D. c. There she received treat
ment from a specialist. When she re-
turned to her home she seemed improved.
and for a while her friends had hope of
her recovery but soon the insidious dis
ease asserted itself and the past eight
months, despite the care of the devoted
husband, the skill of the physician and
the care of an excellent nurse she grad
ually failed until the end came as a re-
lease.
The death Of Mrs. Arnold is a personal
loss to very many, and she will be sadly
missed. She was much interested in all
that pertained to the uplift of the COM
munity, an active member in many So
cieties and in all her work was very eff
cient and conscientious. She was a sue
cessful teacher, and much beloved, hav-
ing taught more than 50 terms, was the
first woman to be appointed superintend-
ent by the town. Her brother. George F.
Rowe of China. was buried the day of
her death. Much sympathy is extended
to the husband in his loneliness, to the
brother, John Rowe. in his double be-
reavement, to her sisters children, Mrs
Lynn Brown Of the Philippines, and
Lieutenant John Hatch Of Honolulu,
Hawaii to whom she filled the place Of
mother in their younger days.
Life is over, death is sweet
Lay the lilies at her feet:
Let them rest upon her bier.
For she dearly loved them here.
But we would not call her back
Again to tread life's weary track.
Let the snowy lilies tell
She hath done her life work we'll"

the Democratic majority in this Con-
