LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mir. Rooney's Courage.

MT. Editor: I like MT. Rooneys courage when he is saying things that are true, and things that are not. His courage is the kind for the men who find the trolley cars convenience and ride to manifest.
 Mir. Rooney and all who agree with him have the right to strike every soul in Norwich not mixed up in the affair have the right to ride. To be good Americans we must respect the rights of one another and the guy who tells you or we are marked men is not only himself marked. but liable to prosecution un- der state laws.
 I don't care rap whether the troll leymen receive five or ten dollars a day. I do not care how many lies those in the fight tell. or how much truth. I have no issue. I am not in this mix-up-
 If the company run its cars I ex- pect to ride on them if 1 need to with out asking permission of any man or set of men. This is my right under the constitution and the flag as an American, as it is my right to walk if I prefer.
 I am not afraid of the strikers for they are American citizens, not Bol' sheviki. and they all know when they are within their rights; and they are far from Americans when they tell people what conveyance they may or may not take.
 We expect such things from the ignorant. but we do not from intelli- gent American workmen.
 We know what our rights are! Let's maintain them.
 BILL. Norwich, Aug. 12, 1919.

PLANTING TREES.

Not so very long ago when the East ern Connecticut Chamber of Com merce held it's outing at Webster. Jo- seph T. Cruttenden. a former presi- plan for the Identifying of the Mohe- gan Trail by the planting of trees alongside the road. until. bit by bit, as each town took up it's own section of road. we should have a long ave- nue fanked and arched with beautiful foliage. So far as known MT. Crut- tenden's proposal seems to have fallen upon deaf ears.
 In MT. Cruttenden's suggestion the utilitarian aspect of tree planting was not emphasized. but a prediction made by Charles Lathrop Pack. president of the American Forestry Association, brings this point to prominence. He tells us that it will not be long be- fore our forests will all be gone and he appeals to individuals to embark upon tree planting since there is no national policy along this line that is pursued with any sort of consistency.
 Like the Eastern Connecticut man Mir Pack also sees in the waste land -fringing highways an admirable place for tree planting. whose results to one generation would be Identifying of the landscape and to the next the needed reinforcement of our timber supply.
 O.lt Of our original forest area of S5c 000, 900 acres there reroa;.is now but one-fourth and no adequate new supply Is being grown. for the new growth is but one third of the amount annually used or destroyed.
 Forest conservation was passion with Clifford Pinchot, who received some support from the Roosevelt ad- ministration. but since he went out from Washington. there has been lit- tie practical interest there in Amer ican forestry. So that Mir. Pack makes his appeal to his fellow citi- zens, each to plant a tree, or better, several trees.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The Railroad Brotherhoods claim to control two million votes Even so. Two million votes is only frac- tion of the American electorate. And the question is not the inherent jus tice or injustice of the demands of the Brotherhoods; the question l s: are intelligent American voters out side. of the Railroad Brothefhoods prepared to submit to the dictation of the Railroad Brotherhoods, or of any other minority of the electroate? Is the congress of the United States representing the majority of citizens of the free republic to be subjected to dictation, bulldozing, and to be cIubbed into submitting to the present demands of the Brotherhoods? If so representative government in the Unit ed States is at an end. MOD rule takes it's place upon this Bolshevistic precedent, and any fraction that comes along will thug congress into obedience to it's will. This. surely is crisis Hartford Times.
 MT Lansing appeared before the committee on foreign relations on Wednesday and the result was the most surprising that has been record ed in the confused search for facts.

 The repair shop had no new fend- CTS, only old ones refurhished. I chose the best of the lot, watched the me- chanies install it and recited my plight to the girl who made out bills and begged her to write in the price of a new fender. which. plus war tax and freight. doubled what I really paid"

JAPAN AND sHANruNe.

It has long been the fashion to re- Eard Japanese diplomacy and diplo- natic utterances as invested with a htf1e too much of Oriental ingenious ness to be accepted exactly at their lace value. Tn such a light will be vies~ed the quoted remarks of viscount Uchida. Japanese foreign minister Eho declares that Japan does not in- end to claim any rights affecting he territorial sovereignty of China in Shantung.
 President Wilson has expressed himself as entirely satisfied with this frank" statement, but there yet re- main to be explained away some of he previous pronouncements by Ja- Aan as to its intentions towards this Iiice of China, the richest province of nat country.
 Eventual restoration to China" eems like fair enough promise. but 1t us see. Tn the Japanese ultimatum Df China. delivered on May :, 1915. it 5 shown that Japan was then intend ng to hold on to Shantung, for the ul- amatum contains these words: From he commercial and military point of new, Kiaochow is an important place. . the acquisition of which the Japan Ee empire sacrificed much blood and money, and after the acquisition the unpire incurs no liability to restore it D China.

FIGHTING HIGH PRICES.

General Palmer's decision for a publication of fair price" list of foods in the warfare against pro- dteering retailers and to institute suits against the packers is accepted with hope as the first governmental step in the fight against the high cost of living.
 Given a general knowledge of what are fair prices" in any community, the weight of public opinion and pub hcity is relied upon to correct abuses by retailers, while the threat of the law will be used against the packers and against food hoarders who can be reached under the war time food act or the Sherman law. The public will expect to see the legal prosecu- tions pushed with vigor and thor oughness to the end that the respon- sibility for undue increases in food costs may be placed where it belongs.
 On the surface 1t appears that the spectators who are carrying large stores of perishable food in ware houses must disgorge. Cold storage has been perverted from its original benefcent purpose until it is used as a club to extort higher prices What would be a boon in preserving sur plus food for use in a time of short age has been turned into withholding it until the shortage became so great that inordinate profits would accrue to the speculator. Just how far this practice has gone will be one of the points developed by judicial inquiry. -~ Deliberate profteering comes very close to deliberate robbery and it is the expectation that the government action will be so widespread that the truth will be brought out. once for, all
 Ohcial promises from Washington are heartening as far as they do. If they are followed by commensurate official activity. we should not wait long for the relief so much desired

Ii Is glorious summer In millinery
showrooms. Garden and field flowers
make wide-brimmed, graceful hats
radiant with color and headwear more
joyous than 1t has been for many
year. For long time flowers were
all but baniShed as a decoration for
hats-a peevish-minded public would
not have them. A conviction grew and
became settled that there lovely trim
mings would not return; vet, of all
things, flowers are the most logical
crown for beautiful heads. When
season of real rejoicing arrived, along
with victory, they sprang into bloom.
The beloved rose and violet and all the
friendly little flowers and fruits are
restored to favor and are fairly frolick-
ing all over the picturesque millinery
of midsummer. If flowers happen to
be not represented, then ribbons that
reflect their beautiful colors and sur
face take the place of the new hats.
There are four hats for the heart of
summer shown in the group above. At
the top broad-brimmed shape is
covered with crepe georgette in
white; this beautiful fabric, which
seems akin to flowers, makes perfect
background for the clusters of small
grapes that Chamber about the crown.
