DYEsTUFFs LEGISLATION.

Speaking in advocacy of the bill he
introduced in congress on the open
ing day, Representative Hill of this
state set forth the need of giving
proper attention to the subject Of dye
stuffs in a speech before that body
this week and he sent the arguments
home in manner which should have
the proper effect in bringing about
early and favorable action thereon.
Not only did he declare that the
American users of dyestuffs and dyed
wares were directly or Indirectly los
ing a million dollars a day as the re-
suit of the dye situation but he re-
ferred to the manner in which ia
pan and Great Britain are taking
steps to overcome the dependence
which they have in other times placed
upon the German product while we
sit here trusting to our own Ameri-
can good luck"
Congressman Hill laid much stress
upon the fact that the manufacturer
does not get one cent of added pro-
lection under this bill unless he COM
bines with such assembly process the
production of the intermediates, and
so helps to build up in this country
self contained industry in the pro-
ducts of American coal and utilities
the products of the coke ovens, which
are now being wasted to an enormous
extent, one-sixth being saved here as
compared with five sfxths in Ger
many.
There ought to be little question as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of additional leg
isIation concerning this matter 1t is
time that this country was giving en-
couragement to an industry which
can do equally as well here as in Ger
many if it is nurtured and given
chance to make this country independ-
ent of foreign producers for it's dye

it was such a communication as Lon
don might be expected to send out it
was quite evident what the answer
from each side was going to be.
This country cannot therefore do
otherwise than maintain it's neutral
attitude but it must nevertheless at
the same time insist that its rights
and the rights of its subjects be fully
respected. The idea of thinking that
any one of the nations can change the
laws of all the nations while war is
in progress is preposterous. If all
could have been brought to an agree
ment it might have been well enough
but there was no chance and mas
much as the effort has proved a fail
ure there is nothing now to do but
to obey the law and require those
who are bound by it to do their part.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Go to Hear DR.. Usher.

Mr.. Editor: A mass meeting to be
addressed by DR.. c. d. Ussher will be
held at the Davis theatre Sunday
evening, Feb. 10th. at 7.3O o'clock.
Two of the most ancient Christian
nations in the world are being subject
ed to a process OF Infamous cruelty
which aims at nothing less than their
utter determination. The greater of
these two peoples is the Armenian;
but the Syrians are also suffering. The
words of General Sherman that war is
hell are often repeated, but if ordinary
warfare is hell, this wholesale slaugh-
ter OF many thousands of men, women
and children cannot be described by
any word in any language. In terrible
ness, in fendish cruelty, in new and
before unthought of tortures it is be-
yond the reach of human conception
The shrieks of thousands of abused
mothers, the dying cries of their fright
ened little ones, torn from their en-
brace, together with the prayers of
the fathers and the brothers, as they
are led out to be bayoneted or shot
down, as if so many wild beasts, these
utterances of extreme agony of body
and soul, have entered the ear of the
Just Judge sitting upon His eternal
throne.
The government which is doing this
work, and those who, for political rea-
sons or military necessity" aid or
abet 1t or excuse it, have together
stained their garments with the blood
of the thousands slain; and whatever
forgiveness may be granted to the
penitent, these stains, from their very
nature, must remain forever
The practical question for US now
is: What can we do to save the re-
naming remnants of IAN assassinated
nation?" We are a Christian people
and God is bestowing upon US the
richest blessings. Today the world is
one. Bear We one another's burdens,
and so fulfill the law of Christ
Among the many who assure US that
they are only too glad to render any
possible assistance may be mentioned
Mayor Murphy, who has kindly con-
scented to preside at the meeting; ex-
Mayor Lippitt; Principal Tirrell; Col
cnel Gale, cashier of the Thames Ma
tional bank; Secretary Hill of the Y.

cHIcAGo's POISONING SQUAD.

Developments have been such that
there appears to be not the slightest
ground for considering the illness of
the priests and Iaymen in attendance
at the dinner to Archbishop Mundelin
at Chicago as anything else but the
result of a deliberate attempt at
wholesale murder. The analysis of
the soup shows that it contained
enough arsenic to have ended the
lives of all the partakers had it not
been necessary to dilute it before
serving in order to accommodate the
hundred extra guests who had not
been planned for.
The impression prevails among the
Chicago authorities that anarchy is
at the bottom of the plot and that
the suspected chef was not alone in
his operations but whatever may
eventually prove to be the full story
of the attempted crime every effort
must be exerted to run down the
missing soup mixer, whether he
proves to be a tool or principal, and
at the same time weave a net about
those who may be higher up. 1t was
an attempt at crime as glazing and
deliberate as the throwing of bombs.
It was even possible to look upon it
as more certain had there been no
hitch. Though the scheme failed it
calls however for just as determined
efforts to get and punish the guilty
ones since they have shown their
hands and are a menace to pub
lie safety as long as they retain their
freedom.
The affair, though causing no loss
of life, has demonstrated to Chicago
that its problem is no less than was
New Yorl1s with its gunner and
bomb throwers and it must be tackled
with the same persistency and thor
oughness even though the guilty ones
have used a quieter and more subtle
method.

CHAIRMAN ROOTS ADDRESS.

1t is but natural that much i'm
portance should be attached to the
address of Elihu Root as temporary
chairman of the convention of the
New York republicans. Mr. Roots
words have been the keynote of pre-
vious campaign and just such signi-
fcance must attach to them now
Goth for the campaign which is to be
waged in the Empire state as well
as that which is ahead of the nation,
and in his speech at Albany he
brought Americanism to the front in
no unmistakable terms.
There was the usual evidence of
lis keen, clear minded thought and
he attacked the national administra-
ton in manner which is bound to
make its appeal regardless of the
party with which the reader may be
aligned. Nj. Root referred to the
mess which had been made by the
administration in the treatment of
tie Mexican question. He referred
also tc the course which had been
pursued with such unsatisfactory re-
suits IN regard to the tariff but he
hit the rail on the head when he in
sisted that this government must hold
itself true to American principles
He made it evident that that will
be the main issue of the coming cam
pa!gn and he left no question for
doubt as 10 where he stands in that
regard and what he considers to be
the duty of this country He makes
it certain that the republicans can be
relied upon to give the country the
best kind of government as it has in
the past upon economic questions.
that they will meet such situations as
they arise with fixed and thorough
" understood policy but he likewise
makes it positive that it will stand
for America, first, last and all the

peatedly manifested in the months
that have passed

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

1t is a deplorable and alarming
situation when the statement is made
that the number of girls who are
missing or run away from home in
creases each year. It indicates that
not only should there be a stop put
to it but it calls for a recognition of
the causes of it.
Investigations have been repeatedly
made in order to get hold of the real
reasons for such a state of affairs
and despite the report concerning
those engaged in the white slave bus
mess and those who are engaged in
promoting crime it is invariably
found that the home is to a large
degree responsible for the way in
which girls and boys throw away their
lives and fall into evil ways.
In the opinion of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger some of them leave
their families out of sheer love for
adventure, some because their sur
roundings are uncongenia1 In both
cases the chief blame belongs to the
parents. Girls need as they approach
maturity. even more than the boys,
5udicious restraint and sympathetic
guidance. 1t is natural for them to
seek enjoyment and if they cannot get
the right kind they will take the
wrong kind. To forbid them to do
this or that and take no further pains
with them is to evade a solemn re-
sponsibiity. The habit of looking to
the law to settle questions of morals
is IN large part the cause of this fail
0re to realize the penalties of undone
parental duties"
Parental responsibility cannot be
shirked and not have its effect upon
the children. There are plenty of in
stances which support such a conten-
ton and the quicker it is more gen.
orally recognized the sooner will
there be that improvement which is
so much sought.

Once Imogene bought me some

Imogene that it was unwise to pur-

OTHER VIEW POINTS

This storm, almost the largest of the
winter in deposit of snow, failed to
block communications as seriously as
some of it's predecessors, partly be-
cause it came SO gradually and partly
because people were warned by pre-
vious experience to be on their jobs.
They even cleared their walks better
than they do after some two-inch snow
storms.-New Haven Register.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-02-17

Rockville hasn't kept it's sidewalks
clear of snow this winter. That's
patent to everyone having occasion to
use same. The need of some one to
jog the memory of the neglectful ones
is very apparent. Many walks have
been left in a dangerous condition fol-
lowing storms this winter, abutters
seemingly oblivious to the fact that
they have any duty to perform in the
way of sprinlSling them literally with
ashes after an ice storm. And the
city itself hasn't much ground to call
down" the abutter, for some of the
crosswalks, also walks in the parks,
have been left in anything but a
passable condition. There should be
a general bestirring on the part Of city
and abutter and walk cleaning cam

Embezzler Burton of Ansonia is

Of Burton was a peculiarly mean one.
He betrayed the trust imposed in
him; endangered the life time savings
of thousands of hard working people;
repudiated honesty and integrity, and
repaid his fellow men who had exalt-
ed him with high office-the respon-
sibility of making laws for others,
