Press Thanked
by Committee

The following has been received by
The Journal:
Atlanta, May 6, 1913.
Dear Sir: The third Liberty Loan
| is nearing a close. From official and
unofficial reports obtainable. it is evil
dent that the Sixth Federal Reserve
district has again gone over the top
this time with larger total and more
| individual subscriptions than In either
of the previous campaigns. The actual
figures will not be in hand until after
midnight Saturday, and we feel conf
dent our fondest hopes will be more
than realized.
The great success of the loan could
not have been achieved without the
unrestricted support of the newspapers
in this district. In presenting strong
editorials, in the handling OF news
matter and in placing display adver-
Using, our newspapers surpassed the
wonderful records OF the first and sec
ond loans. Your cooperation on the
first loan was wonderful; on the Sec
ond loan more so, and on the third
loan perfectly marvellous.
The able assistance rendered your To-
cal Liberty Loan committee by you was
largely responsible, we believe, for the
great totdi OF safes rolleu up III the
counties in your territory. 1t is a
pleasure to me to acknowledge on be-
half of the government the debt Of
gratitude to you and to extend our sim
cere thanks for this noble and patriotic
work on your part.
With very best wishes for your con-
tinued success and prosperity, am,
Yours sincerely,
ST. ELMO .MASSENtIALE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanksgiving Barre! Burning.

Mir Editor: Last year our young
 mayor, Allyn Brown, attempted to stop
 the stealing of barrels to burn on
 Thanksgiving night. It was not an
 entire success, for the barrel burning
 went gaily on. some of them presuma-
 bly, stolen. As long ago as 179S the
 habit of letting the boys burn barrels
 on Thanksgiving was condemned, with the hope that it might be put a stop
 to soon.' Benedict Arnold the traitor ous son of Norwich, is reputed to have
 begun this wasteful business, and shall
 we in these war times, when every nerve is stretched for conservation, let
 it go on? Probably half of these bar
 rel burning boys are of foreign eXtrac- tion, some of them undoubtedly Ger
 man, few are Americans we believe. The old adage "A new broom sweeps clean may apply to our new mayor, and it is possible his office gives him sufficient authority to stop it com pletely If not, the ladies may be called in to help carry the reform.
 With barrels retailing at 50, 50 or even 70 cents apiece, it is no mean | loss to lose one. We lost three in one i season and bought perforce an ex- pensive metal barrel which the dust cart men are banging up. Would not
 the City Mission be glad to take these
 rescued barrels over, or the Salvation Army, once a living force here but
 which now seems about defunct? The

THE AIRCRAFT REPORT.

Charles F. Hughes, by the exhaus- tive report which be has made rela- tive to the aircraft work in this coun- fry. makes it evident that the trou- bic which existed in that branch of the government service had been to a large degree remedied before he was ralled upon to start the investigation. Since being placed in charge of the well known captain Of industry John D. Ryan a different state Of affairs has existed and the right kind of progress made.
 Previous to that important change the delays and wastes followec defec- tive organization and the lack of proper guidance by the officials whc were responsible. The charge that the initial appropriation had been spent without being able to show anything for it is unfounded. There have beer wastes and delays which have beer costly with the chief loss coming iron the abandonment of two types of air planes after s2i .OO0, 900 had been spent upon them. The report shows how ever. that the attention which wal called to the business of producing airplanes has resulted in the correc ton of the faults and it is cause 10, qualification that the conditions whici were found were not any worse or 1T fact as bad. as had been intimated. Int report therefore shows the situation

cANcELLINe SHIP CONTRACTS,

It is not to be supposed that there is 10 he any letting up in shipbuilding in this country because the shipping hoard has found that t i5 for the best interests ot the government and tl-, industry that contracts for coal barges, tugs and transports should be can celled.

patriots as are now not only fighting but demonstrating patriotism in he name of humanity. Some of thc new ratriotic types may be necessary. but they are wearying because of the pung- Ing or irritating way in which they perform their patriotic services. Some of "the drivers" nag people with the persistence of an old housewife who has always been kept short of funds; and some who think they are patriots have deteriorated into alarmists and seem to enjoy telling us that "we have got to see harder times than we ever have: that before the war is over we shall all be dressed in old clothes, and be more wheatless. meatless and moneyless than ever-that we shall all be crying for things like those mother used to make'"> These prophets of invisible and improbable distress are doing more harm than good. They are like a Spanish fly poultice to every true patriot in America. Tho country doesn't need this type.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

By this time last year most people mad their heating systems in operation for the winter.
 Cracking under the strain pretty clearly represents the situation in the dual monarchy and Germany !
 Now that Turkey has joined Bul- garia, the next move in that direction IS about to be made by Austria Hun gary.
 The man On the corner says; Every one gargling as g. preventive is get ting good practice pronourcing walla Walla.
 It is taking Germany quite a while to decide to do right, now that 1t has found out that it cannot longer con tinue as it would like to. The best evidence that can be given of the willingness of the kaiser to re- rource his crown is for him to do it. These are days of deeds, not words. The pleas of the central powers, the statements of those who ought to know and the cutting off of contracts all point to the early conclusion of the war.

 The commander of the Black ses fleet probably understands that he ha: no Kiel canal into which he can dodge when he sees the allied fleet heading ir his direction.
 What is wanted at this time is rner who will stand by the country. and i has been fully demonstrated that re publicans can be relied upon at al times for this service. F The attacks which have been mad, upon Governor Holcomb are thos, which simply make him stronger no only in his own party but among tn, Epeople of Connecticut in general.
 The people know that our governor Our representative in congress ana ou

GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT.

The voters of this senatorial district are naturally interested in getting the representation which they deserve at Hartford. For that reason they should be eager to give their support to Albert J. Bailey, young man who has served as one of the representa- lives from Norwich in the general as- sembly for the last two sessions, who is therefore in touch with the requireN rnents of this section and who from the experience which he has had can be relied upon to give the full and i'm partial service that Is needed. Inas- much as he has been faithful in the discharge of his duties in the lower house there can be confidence in the belief that he will render ike service in the upper body His training makes him the right man for the place.
 And from this town there should be sent the men who will be alive to it's interests. who will see that Norwich Is conscieutiously sand fully represent ea and who will he the representatives of the whole town and not the spokes- men of any special interests to the ex- clusion of others. For such work  George F. Fellows and Charles w Burton are well fitted and are deserv- ing of election. They are men of af- fairs in whom the people can have full confidence.
 Norwich is likewise going to see. ol at least it should. that it gives a rous- ing majority to its representative 1T congress, Richard P. Freeman, wht mas stood faithfully by his district, bs the country and with the administra l.tion upon the important war meas ures which have been enacted. HI should be retained at Washington fol l the continuation of his good work while the popularity of Sheriff Sidne! l i Brown. his long training in the of | fee and his efficient wArk should meaI bis reelection by a greater vote thai | ever.
 The whole republican ticket is mad 'lp of men who are worthy of endorse ment and satisfactory results will b l insured ny their election.

to be much different than the senate committee report had indicated, and that this country is now demonstrating what it can do in the way of produc- ing airplanes after the department has been properly organized and gotten onto an efficient basis.
 The one outstanding feature in the report is the charges brought against Colonel Deeds for his acts and the in competency claim against Major Gen. eral Squier. That Judge Hughes has given his characteristic careful atten- tion to the work he was selected to do cannot be questioned and the country will have confidence in his findings.

There is no evidence that the appointment of this committee was ever requested or authorized by the Connecticut BaI association, and it is certainly unfair to members of the bar who favor the amendment, of whom there are many including some of the most distin- guished and influential among Connec- ticut lawyers, to rush this special re- port into print during the very last hours of a political campaign. wher there is no opportunity before the vot-
 ing occurs to repudiate the aboundinE

GOVERNOR HoLcoMs AND THE
 SOLDIERS.

- A determined effort has been made by the democratic state central com mittee to prejudice the minds of the voters CT Inc state by claiming that Governor HolcoTub ts ornosed to the soldiers and sailors having their jobs back when they return from ;ne war. Tie idea is to show him up as dig r-imina-ng against the fighting men, those who are making the greatest sac rIhce by flvorinE thoze who stay at home with their jobs. But the effort an revolvea about distortion of the facts relative tO a bill introduced in the last legislature which provided that employees 0f the state who entered tsc ccrv,ce should be guaranteed re- inst1iomtnt on their return.
 This h.i was vetoed by Governor iolccmn because. as shown by the text of the veto printed elsewhere, the governor believed that it was unjust CO -uarantee to state employees what could not be guaranteed to employees oi private corporations.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

New Britain health officers are hor-. rifed to find family keeping chick ems in the bathtub of the fiat. Is it more than the logical result of the ad- rice that everybody keep a pig Hartford Times.
 Ex-Governor Baldwin says the word right out. President Wilson" he says, stands for peace matured by nego- Jiation." That is what we feared. But 10 one would admit it. The peace other than "a negotiated peace" is "a dictated peace" Trying to hold MT. Wilson up to that is what has made all the trouble. He wants congress that will let him down rather than one which will hold him up. Governor Baldwin knows the meaning of what he says-a negotiated peace.-WateT bury American.
