VIOLATING DRY LAW.

There may be and probably are some who are surprised at the action of the federal authorities in New York and other cities in proceeding ta arrest and prosecute violators of the dry law. Why this should be it is difficult to- understand There is in fact no reason why those who insist upon breaking the law should expect that they could continue to do so without any recognition being taken of tho fact by those who are put in office for that very purpose.
 As a matter Of fact 1t has been many times clearly stated that those who undertook to go against the provis- ions of the law worid do so at their own rlsk. 50 that w'1en they sell bee containing more than a certain per centage of alcohol and when they con tinue to do business in whiskey and other liquors there, is no reason 70 ex- pect anything else than a visit from Uncle Sam's representa- lives.
 Apparently the authorities in New York; Chicago, and other cities have had no particular difficulty in secur- ing evidence sufficient to convict. The probabilities are that they will not experiences much more difficulty else- where. There seems to be good evil dence to the effect that the time when nothing else but softstuff, non- -intoxi- : cants and 2.75 per cent. Deer could be gotten in the saloons has quite generally passed in some quarters. Possibly it Is planned to secure q suf- ficient amount through increased prices to take care of such fines as they are likely to receive ana then have a good sized wad left. but cer- tainly there is no reason to be sur prised when federal officials begin to get active in the upholdins of pro- hibition inasmuch as the law exists for the purpose of being enforced. It's case of dance and pay the fiddler.

 The career of this Greek Clemen- ceau," reclSoned among the foremost statesmen of Europe, is described in a bulletin from the National Geo. graphic Society, based on a communi- cation rom George Higgins Moses, as follows:
 "Eleutherios venizelos, is a Greek of the Greeks, with a long line of dis tiTiguished Hellenic ancestry. Edu- cated at the University of Athens and in Switzerland, he established him. self as an attorney in Crete, and was active in the revolutionary movements which brought on the Greco Turkish war of 1897.

OPEN TO SUSPICION.

Japan and its actions are today very much in the public eye. It Is be- ing watched very closely in connec- tion with its policy toward China and for that reason more than the usual amount of attention is being given to the report that the imperial cabinet is going to stand for the exclusion of Manchuria and Mongolia from the territory covered by the consortium, or partnership. it has approved be- tween the bankers of the United States, Great Britain, France and Ja- pan for the purpose of jointly devel- oping China and giving financial as sistance to that government.
 It was in connection with the ap- provai by our own government of this joint action that much surprise was occasioned, since it was only a few years previous that approval had been refused to the participation of Amer ican bankers in the raising of a loan for China, and this action shows a right about face. but the attitude Of this country is in marked contrast to that which is indicated by the Japan csc cabinet. though the latter's report ed stand has been vigorously opposed by the Japanese foreign minister.
 The inference to be gained from the cabinet action is that while Japan is willing to participate With the other nations in aiding the development of China in certain sections, it does not mean to do So for the whole country, but to leave the two big provinces designated for itself. The statement of Japan's foreign minister that such exclusion might be interpreted as showing Japari's designs upon China, and might obstruct loans which are urgently needed by China" must be regarded as coming pretty close to the view that is bound to be taken.

The Cemeterv's case.

MT. Editor: I was sorry to read in your paper what seems like a per Sonal attack on a highly worthy pub lie servant, the superintendent of our cemeteries. It is barely possible as every one knows who has a lawn on an avenue to care for, that in these days Of rain and sunshine the grass and weeds are rampant. They come up in the night like mushrooms and we see them even on public streets The matter of shortness and inef- ficiency of help, on a territory so ex- not be strange if the grass is grow ing. Besides this. the grave lots have to be Kept neat, which means the entire surface of the grounds dedi- cated to the dead, well as the ap- proaEhes thereto.
 But with all this-which is not of- rered AS an apology for MT. Jarvis every important citizen knows that the cemeteries never have been kept dur ing the history of Norwich, so well on the active business conducted with such systematic and satisfactory or derliness. as it has been under the superintendence of Mr Jarvis A lab at the superintedent is also plainly a slur upon the department. appointing him. which is the proper office to which citizen should make com plairt and not to the public press editor. This writer has no personal affiliation with Mir. Jarvis, Is only the tery and we have always found him either in the office or on the grounds. courteous considerate and intelli- gent officer. and I trust that this virile attack of him viii prove a mere Brutun Fulnen, as it is prop CT it should.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sussests Jacobs Pillar.

MT. Editor: Will you permit me through your paper to say to "A Novice" the following:
 If you are not too much of a novice you may know something of Jacobs pillar, Genesis 2s:10-22.
 You read the account of the address which you criticize. If you had heard 1t you would know whether the speak CT really did say "Joseph's pillar" or whether it was the reporters error. If the speaker did make the error, 1t is easy enough for me to under stand that 1t was through slip of the tongue.
 I do not know this speaker. but do feel sure that he knows the stories of Jacob and Joseph.

 Mir. Editor: Many people seem to be unconscious of the fact that 1egisla- ton has no effect whatever on the amount of daylight. There is not even a second more day light in day under the so-called daylight savins, law than there would be without that law; and nothing to prevent tho various industries from instituting d beginning time an hour earlier in sthe morning than before the war. The so -called daylight saving time is just method of fooling ourselves that it is an hour later than the sun marks: that it is a. m. when it is 6 and makes us have dinner a at II a. m. It is no joke to the farmer up with the sun from time ifnm err1oria1, to rise an hour earlier; nor to his wife. And why should not congress and every body else consider tlge farmers? From the Beginning of this country till a century ago almost the while population, And Still the largest and most important class, here and throughout the world; farming the foundation of every other industry. without which it could not exist The farmers as either food producers or soldiers. were the largest ccntrib- uting class of America, Canada in- cluded. toward turning victory to the allies in the world war-caused by the ambition of misunderstanding Germany and German Austria; S6 per cent of the farm managers of the United States being of native stock.
