to come. We think now we should
adopt the policy already followed in
many counties, of piking the isolat-
ed mudholes that make our roads at
many places practically impossible
at certain seasons of the year. There
is no just room for complaint be-
cause of the metal roads already
built, but now the taxpayers in the
outlying districts have contributed
their share toward building roads in
the central part of the county, and
are clearly entitled to have the
mudholes in their local neighbor-
hoods taken care of.

The Ohio county members of the
Draft Exemption Board, Claude
Blankenship and S. o. Keown, hold
with the Daviess County Board that
their instructions as they understand
them authorize the exemption of all
married men who have either wives
or children or both, who are depend
ent upon the labor of the husband
or father for support, and continue
to grant exemptions to such appli-
cants as appear before them.

With credit currency inflated to
the danger point the expected hap
pens and gold is leaving the country
in an alarming volume. In a fran
tic effort to avert this result the
President placed an embargo on gold
exports. But it is useless to dam
the stream while the floods pour up
on its source. The laws of trade are
as immutable as those governing the
movements of the tides, and if the
government continues to initiate cred
it currency gold will go to a prem
ium.

There is little news of interest this
week from the various war fronts
except for the revolutionary turn at
fairs have taken in Russia, where
general disorder and civil war pre-
walls. General Cardorna, the new
Napoleon of Italy, who has been driv-
ing the Austrians so hard for sew
eral weeks, seems to be giving his
army a breathing spell. The French
have won some local successes on the
Western front, but the British have
been quiet, but it is perhaps the lull
that precedes the storm.

Living for two years amid events
that nobody could mistake might
any day draw this country into war
the administration sat with folded
hands while it should have been pre-
pairing the army and navy for that
contingency, and now the country is
paying the penalty for that inexcus-
able dallying by fearful waste at
tending a feverish haste to meet the
demands of a crisis.

Help the young man. Arthur
Kirk, young attorney, has been
nominated for County Attorney. Mr..
Kirk is a product Of the soil, and
has, by his unaided effort, made a
place in the public affairs of the
county. The voters of the county
should not neglect the importance OF
giving the young man a chance. To
the attorney of ripe experience the
election to Office means little more
than a gift, but to the young man,
just entering upon the struggles of
life it may mean the turning point
between success and failure. Give
the young man a chance.

Artificial ProsDerity.

Our foreign trade has reached the
ten billion dollar mark. Exports,
$1,000 1000, 900; imports, SO 900, 200, :
900. The export total will fade rap
idly after the war is over. But the
imports? Will these, too. fade? They
will not. If the present Free Trade
Tariff remains in force, impoverish-
ed Europe and enterprising Japan
will dump their surplus of Industrial
products on the American market.
Then we shall wish we had a good
Protective Tariff once more.
What we are now having is a purely
artificial prosperity, born of war con-
ditions. If we are to have after-war
prosperity We must have Protection.

The action of the District EXemp-

ing down the exemptions of the To-

wives is creating considerable con-
fusion in the public mind, and the
matter will probably be put up to
the President for solution.

RENTAL PROBLEM
GIVEN HEARING
A Place to Live Is the Crying Need
Of People in Waterbury

Waterbury-The erection of dormi-
tories for 500, and possibly 1000, wo-
mon employees of the Scovill Manu-
featuring Co., was the only remedial
step mentioned at the first hearing Of
the rent commission recently appoint
ed by Gov. Holcomb, held at the dis
tr1ct court room. John H. Goss, gen
eral manager of the company, an
nounced that his company was PLAN
ming to use the old Porter property,
which 1T acquired few weeks ago, for
putting up these dormitories. He said
that In order to fill government con-
tracts the ScoVill Mfg Co. would re-
quire several thousand more en-
ployes soon, but that the problem as
to where to put them was acute
Men prominent in various phases of
the city's life were heard yesterday,
and all agreed that the renting condi-
ions in Waterbury are deplorable-
The commission, which consists Of
Herbert Knox Smith Of Pennington,
Julius G. Stremlau of Meriden and
Marshall o. Wells of Hartford, did not
announce the date of the next hearing,
but Chairman Smith told the Republic
can later that there would be no de-
lay in pushing the investigation and
that the second hearing could be ex-
pected soon.

Murder Trial.

Seymour-The case of Antonios
Dorathes Manasterfdes, charged with
murder, in the death Of Polikonis Po-
harris, a few weeks ago, came up in the
local court before Justice H. F. Mann
muller. Manasterides pleaded not
guilty. and is being represented by
Attorney A. S. Aaronson of Ansonia,
Attorneys Bellin of Derby and Atwa-
ter of Seymour appearing for the
state.
Very little progress was made in the
case, only one witness for the state
having been examined. While in the
midst of the testimony of a second
witness, an adjournment was taken.
An effort is being made to find out
Just how the trouble started.
The crime for which Manasterides
is held took place OH Saturday, No
vember 10th, in Seymour when the de-
PENDANT, it is alleged, shot Poharis and
two others, Stanislew Pill and Pan
teles Joannides, the first named dying
few days later.

Good Luck, Cliff.

Naugatuck-F'rom desk in a news
paper Office to the first line trenches
is a long jump but Lieutenant Clifton
V. Cross has made it in eight months.
Word has just been received in this
city that Lieut.. Cross was one Of the
American soldiers in the front line
trenches when the Germans made
their first attack on this country
forces. Last April, Lieut.. Cross was
pursuing the comparatively peaceful
occupation of getting news for the
Americans. When the call came for
young men to fit themselves for Off
GERS at Plattsburg, he responded at
once and last August came back to
Waterbury with a second lieutenant s
commission. Two weeks later he was
shipped to France with other officers
and now after his final training there,
he has had his first taste of grim war.
1t will be interesting to the people of
Waterbury and Naugatuck to know
that a native son was in the first en-
gagement of the war, for both Water
bury and Naugatuck claim Lieut..
Cross.

were required to pay the minimum

j Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out
the whole Of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspOOnful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the prev1-

bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have salloV

the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
