WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT

Maine like many other states has many water power privileges which are not utilized. There is a constant ly increasing demand for more power but the first inclination Is to buy more coal and make more steam when water power is actually running to waste and waiting to be developed. This is the situation which has been going on for years because Of a dis regard for the natural advantages and it is time that more attention was given to the harnessing of the many valuable streams through all of New England.
 In the Pine Tree state commits sion to investigate the question of water power development was called off before it's work was done and the demand is now being made that an- other be named and authorized to complete the work so that it's report of the state legislature in order that the numerous bills which are present. ed covering this subject.
 Water power is today materially cutting the cost of operating all kinds of industries. It is of great benefit particularly when the price of coal has so sharply advanced and when in many instances it is hard to get at any figure. But regardless of the manner in which water privileges are utilized today, they are not developed tc the extent which they can or ought to be. and 1t would be we'll if all New England would devote more attention to the possibilities which are actually at it's door.

CERTIFYING ACTION.

It has taken some time to hear from 4mbs ssador EIkus at Constanti- nople but the information which now comes to u effect that that country desires to retain friendly relations with the United States, and will per init the removal of the subjects of this country is of course gratifying. The delay in getting the communica- tions through has caused serious mis- givings as to what the attitude of Turkey was going to be. but there certainly was no reason for prevent ing the departure of American mis- sionaries and other citizens, whether they were seeking to get away from Constantinople or Beirut, and their removal on the American vessels which are now in that locality ought to proceed without delay.
 Furthermore is there cause for grati- f1cation at the action of Germany in resembling it's order to the effect that the American commission for relief in Belgium would be denied the privi- leges which it had previously enjoy ed and must therefore abandon it's work in Belgium and northern France where the non combatants are in so much need of it.
 Even Germany has good reasons for desiring the continuation of this re- lief for though it has given scant con- sideration to the welfare of those people in the past, but instead has squeezed them for every possible dol lar that could bo obtained in the way of a war tax. it must be realized that if the relief work was abandoned the responsibility for overcoming the ad- ditional distress would fall upon Ger many. Therefore whatever can be secured through American sources re- lieVes Germany inst that much and no country is better situated to carry the relief work on than America. But in addition to being permitted to rem der this service there ought to be provision made which would assure safe passage to the supplies.

country.
 The battle for freedom is on again in a far larger scale than 1t was in America for now it affects the world. The great war lord has sounded his toisin and is making slaves of white men. The day of neutrality is past. We know not the minute that our young men may have to march to the Battle Cry of Freedom. And now what have we in Norwich in this time of stress and anxiety when any man with a spark of loyalty in his make up if he speaks or writes at all ought to speak or write something that VII increase and encourage the loyalty and devotion of his yellow citizens. MT. Ricketts has been and is doing this consistently.
 It seems as if it were unbecoming and smacks somewhat of the ingrate for a descendant of the race whom Norwich blood helped to make free to be writing and saying things which under ordinary conditions might be a subject of debate but at this hour savors very much of treason.

 President Wilson has not met with the best of success in naming a suc- cessor to Postmaster Morgan, man who has been in the postal service for a period of S5 years and knows 1t from top to bottom Others who have been previously named or mentioned for the place have lodged the impor- tant responsibility either through now the president fails to take into consideration the position which he announced just before election that he believed the services of those experi- enced men in charge of the larger of fees should be retained for the best interests of the department.
 The appointment of Mir. Patten therefore cannot be looked upon as being for the best interests of the service. That is disregarded for the political side of the matter and so in- tirnated by the New York Evening Post, a Wilson supporter. when it says eff MT. Morgan was to be dis placed, every care should have been taken to choose a successor who would instantly be recognized as standing for something."
 It is course possible to claim that MT. Patten does stand for something, but that something can only be looked upon as political.

The Battle For Freedom Now Affects
 the World.

Mir. Editor: In regard to the reply of Mir. Riddle to the extract of a ser- mon of MT. Ricketts which you pub lished last week. permit me at the outset to say that am not rushing to the defense of MT. Ricketts for he Is amply able to take care of himself under much greater stress than MT. Riddle will ever bring to bear upon him.
 When MT. Riddle says that what Mir. Ricketts said with regard to the German people not voting for war if the matter had been placed in the way of a referendum before them "is arrant nonsense" he does not take in to account the Sfact that MT. Rick etts, as well as a great many other good men and women the world over, cannot conceive of the German peo- pie as a whole being as fiendish as the kaiser, so we must give Mir. Rick etts credit for looking at this phase charitable standpoint while MT. Bid dle would have us believe that the German people were as bad as the kaiser and his war lords.

 Our great Civil war was largely fought to free the colored people of the south from slavery. In that spill Ing of blood and treasure New Eng land played a conspicuous part and Connecticut led by its distinguished Governor Buckingham, a resident of Norwich, who stood and will stand in history in the front rank of the gov ernors of that perilous time. At An- tietam and other battlehelds of the south a number of Norwich young men were numbered among the dead.

srRIKE PREVENTION.

After experiencing the harm that is done through the calling of strikes, the holding up of production. the loss of wages. the demoraiization of bus mess and as often occurs the loss of life and the great amount of lawless- ness, it is certainly time that diligent efforts were made to devise some way whereby 1t all could be avoided. It ought to be possible to bring about the desirable ends in some other manner.
 Whether or not the plan which has been devised by Oscar s. Straus of New York will prove to be the best method of reaching such an end, or whether it will be adopted even though it is so recognized rests with the future to determine, but it at least should receive the careful and considerate attention that 1t deserves. It is MT. Straus' idea, as chairman of the public service commission, that traction strikes should be prevented by compelling employers and em- ployes to submit grievances to a wage board for a certain period. and bill to that effect is to be presented to the legislature for action.
 The idea of compulSion can always be expected to arouse opposition, but when 1t Is realized that it Is being done for the common good, that it is aimed at the prevention of injustice to the public as well as to those di- rectly involved, and that it's purpose is to have disputes between capital and labor adjusted in accordance with the facts and not by force. it calls for more than passing attention, or oppo- sition just for the purpose of ob- structing everything which does not concede an advanage to one side or The other.

STOCKING EMeRIDERY.

At almost any shop where needle work designs are sold one can pur- chase perforated patterns for transfer ring to stockings. As rule the de- sign Is supposed to start at the instep and extend upward for six or eight inches. It is best to hold alarming ball inside the stocking while doing the emhroidering. Or one might rip open the back seam until the embroid- erfng is done. provided the seam Is neatly and tightly sewed again when the embroidery is finished. While 1t is customary to use silk the work, there are exeremists who bring out the de- sign in beads. The only objection to these is that they may be difficult to launder.
