tinuing that craft in the ferry bus
 mess until such time as a new boat
 can be constructed, and perhaps there
 after, on the two-boat plan. This is
 not a bad plan, but 1t will not relieve
 the ferry congestion next summer and
 the dear public will have to take a
 lick and a promise and let it go at
 that. Now that the Thames Ferry
 company must go out of business, and
 the aldermen. some of them have ac-
 complished their purpose, perhaps it
 would be just as well for the public good, for the council to give up the monstrosity as the Secaucus, good for her service in her day, but out of pro- portion for the Groton-New London ferry, and contract for a new boat, of
 Winthrop and run both on opposite trips. Bear in mind the Winthrop can
 be continued in service for thirty two years more and then not be as old as the Secaucus is now upon which the city of New London has an option un- til last Saturday and which can easily be extended, should the purchasing committee of the council so direct. The mayor and the court of common council of the city of New London promise that adequate ferry service would be given to the public by early summer of 1918. This has been prom ised and the public has the right to expect it.
 Let's see, the sum of $75,0o0 has been for the purchase of ferryboat and for operating expenses. This would indi- cate that the changes necessary in the new pier and the ferry slips on both sides of the river, were to come from some other source, and not chargeable to the ferry account. Or, perhaps it is expected to pay for these changes from the ferry receipts, and have it so appear in the first report of the committee in charge of the ferry. But if these charges and all others are to be paid from the receipts, above the sum voted for operating expenses, there will not be enough left to pay off any of the principal of the notes and perhaps not the interest, i. G.. if the public service is to be improved. When this ferry deal was being worked the council it was explained that the change could be effected with out any actual cost to the tax-paying population, but would be cared for by a series of notes, to be paid off from the profits of the ferry. that were to begin on the very first day under mum icipal management. But what's the use? There Is a public demand for improved ferry service an dnow it is up to the city of New London to fur nish the same, regardless of cost.

\ SCOTCH VERDICT!

There will be disappointment be cause of the result of the trial of the I. w. w. leader charged with murder during the Eeverett riots, because an acquittal is pretty certain to be en- couraged by the lawless element in that organization.
 There isn't any question in the pub lie mind but that those I. w. w. boarded the boat on that Sunday af- ternoon determined to override the authorities of Everett even to the commission of murder. It was a diff ficult thing, however. to prove the guilt of Thomas Tracey beyond a reasonable doubt. Maybe Tracey the individual was not guilty of murder, but as a member of band of out laws, bent upon criminal act, he is guilty and the public will so hold him, notwithstanding the technical verdict in his behalf.

And how much better it will be- how much more certain will victory come--if Americans will commence at once to do their share towards the strengthening of the nation as a pro- ducer!
 It is not sufficient to say we have enough money to buy whatsoever we may require. Suppose everyone could say that and would act upon that inn pulse-it would not be six months be- fore famine itself would sweep ore the land.
 Everyone who can possibly do so should produce something this year and every year until the fight for the .democratizing of the world has clos ed victoriously. By so doing the peo- pie will not only add materially to their own welfare, but they will make absolutely certain that those who will bear arms in our behalf will issue from the contest, not as vanquished representatives of a humiliated na- ton, but victors and heroes.
 But they will not be victors. tho they may be heroes. if those at home do not commence at once to build rear defenses for them in the shape of ample stores.

Are You a Patriot?


 Patriotism is not conditioned upon sex, race or creed. We are at war. The President of the United States has called lpon the women of the country to do their bit by enlist ing in a league for public service, such service to find expression in any field of labor to which the woman may be called. The Governor of Alas ka has indorsed the Presidents call, in its application to the women of the Territory, and the Alaska Woman s Patriotic League has been called into existence as result Women who subscribe to the pledge of loyalty to the federal government are expected so far as possible to give their services to the Red Cross and kindred or ganizations which have definite field of activity. Each woman is also pledged to give her earnest attention to the problems of food conservation and the increase of food products in Alaska.
 The meeting of patriotic women called for tomorrow afternoon at the City Hall is entirely independent of any other organization, and has for it's sole object the enlistment of the women of Valdez in branch of the Alaska Woman's Patriotic League.

THAT ESPIONAGE ACT

Some of the teeth have been taken cut of the foolishly-draw espionage bill which evidently was intended to prevent public criticism of the var ious bureaus having to do with the war. Instead of absolute autocratic powers being extended to the bureau heads wherein a critic could be fined or imprisoned under the pretense that such criticism might give aid and comfort to an enemy, now one, ac- cused may be tried before jury, and before conviction is had it must be shown that the critic intended to aid the enemy or that the criticisms ac- tually were an aid.
 But even though the bill as origin ally drawn had become law, the probability is that no American speak CT or writer who is worthy the name would have refrained from pointing to errors of government that threat ened the nation, even though it be to incur the displeasure of some offend ing bureaucrat and result in the cri- tics punishment.
 The constitutional right of free speech and free discussion is too well established. for any congress to ser iously disturb it, even though pre- ceeding under the theory that it is necessary to the successful conduct of war.
 War cannot be conducted success fully under democratic form of gov ernment. or under liberal monarchy for that mater. with the press mug zled and the public intimidated.
 Great Britain established that fact early in the war, and it should not be necessary for the United States to be taught such lesson.

LISTLESSNESS DANGEROUS

American listlessness. such as is especially prevalent in the Middle and Western states, in face of the fact that we have been engaged in war fo; thirty days, is one of the most as- founding things in period of great events. ,fTHAN'
 We have been at war with the greatest military power ever organ ized; have fired one shot; have ap- 2ropriated $7,000, 900; are made aware of the great possibilities of the onemy's submarine campaign, and read almost daily reports indicating the possibility of Russian armistice, and yet the country is unaroused!
 Just how Americans can read the story of the wars progress and re- main indifferent is not understand able.
 Just how Congress can delay inn portant action. in view of the fact that each day is precious in the life of the nation. is beyond cOmprehen- sion. Until Congress does act in a number of details there cannot be necessary steps taken toward pre- naration for extensive hOstilities. Sol t;iers by the thousands. though in uni form, are idling away the days, their officers having no idea when the mob ilization order will come. It is most iiscouraging to many of these young men to take them from the regular employment and, without compensa- tion, keep them in suspense.
 There is a screw loose somewhere that should be found and adjusted, else there would not be these delays. The tendency to procrastinate may ultimately prove distressingly expen- sive.
 With prompt and efficient action at Washington we could now have fully 100000 trained men in mobilization camps along the Atlantic ready for an expedition to France, but, so far as the public is informed, little or no action has been taken theretoward.
 Perhaps the American people will not become aroused until our soldiers and sailors, in large numbers, have become sacrifices of war. Perhaps the Specter of Want will have to parade before their astonished eyes before they will realize that is is absolutely necessary that everyone do every thing possible to forestan a danger GUS shortage of food.
 If Americans who are indifferent to the food question believe the United States will place an embargo upon foodstuffs that are being purchased in the United States for delivery to our allies, such Americans may as we'll undeceive themselves.
 This government will do nothing of the kind. It recognizes the absolute necessity of helping to supply the Entente peoples with food as well as 10 supply those governments with gold and prepare to second their eff forts with our army and navy. It would be ust as impractical to with draw our credit and to announce that we will not use ship or man against Germany as to say we intend to per nit our people to be as improvident as they wish, keeping all of our food sup plies wholly at home.
 This government cannot do that and will not do that. Therefore, 1t is just as important for Americans to increase their efficiency and num- bers of soldiers, our sailors, our guns and our battleships.

MINNESOTA now has a criminal syndicalism law. It provides punish ment for those who willfully destroy an employers property or who con spire to commit public crimes under the mistaken theory that they are acting out a right constitutional, guaranteed.
 Washington would have such law except for the personal cowardice of it's executive. The legislature, by a large vote, passed such a measure. but, fearing personal violence, Ernest Lister killed it through a craven re- sort to his veto powers.
