of Interest. To Norwich Readers

For months Norwich citizens have
 seen in these columns enthusiastic
 praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Nor
 wieh residents. Would these promi- nent people recommend remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had
 not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following state
 ment should carry conviction to the
 mind of every Norwich reader. Daniel J. Brown, proprietor repair shop, 6 Summer Street says: q
 bought Doans Kidney Pills at Sevin
 & Sons Drug Store and they did such good work when I needed them that am glad to recommend them. Doan's regulated and strengthened my kid neys, relieving me of all the ailments
 caused by kidney disorder"
 | The above statement was given August 2S 1908, and on May IS 1916
 MT. Brown said: T have had no oc-
 casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since recommended them in 1908. The cure they gave me has been per manent"

-Presideut Wilson has indicated his shoice for the member of his cabi- Het Go succeed Attorney General Greg ary who has resigned There had seen hopes in some circles that the Nomination Of a Boston man. Sherman Whipple. would be made by him, ut c. was too much even for the demo- crats or New England to expect that anyone from this part of the country wpuid bc chosen for such a place.
 In tho choice Of A. Mitchell Palmer, at present alien property custodian, tho president expresses his desire a second time 70 include him in his off, oial household Mir Palmer has been prominent .n democratic politics in Penn ylvaria and had much 10 do wbh t1e swinging of the delegates to Mr. Wilson in the democratic conven- ten.

The Problem of Unemployment
(New Haven Journal-Courier)


 According to the federal director for Connecticut U. $. Employment Service there is need for less hys- teria and for more common sense with regard to the present unemployment situation in Connecticut. Much of the opinion expressed by those who have little or no information is positively harmful in that it's accentuateS to the point of fear the anxiety which more thoughtful people feel, and feeling are sanely trying to alleviate by pro- viding work. Even in normal times there is degree of unemployment in all communities. We forget that fact | because of the strain under which all industries in Connecticut were la boring during the\war to provide mu- nitions and war supplies. Then the 1 questions was to find workers and | more workers.
 From the namber of those who are out of employment at the present time 1 there may well be deducted, in calcu- lating present actual conditions, a cer- 1 tain proportion who would be out of work in normal times. The remainder are in some cases unable to find en- polyment because business has not been stimulated by orders for manu- factures to the extent that the heads | OA COilCoEllS III have reason to hope would prove true. i To the man who is offered good em- ployment but cGvils about wage, high enough in ordinary times though l not Of war time amount, little sympa- 1 thy goes out. It is to the earnest | seeker after work who has to wait 1 because the job is not open that the thought of all should go out. The federal government has not only es- 1 abolished but has under excellent di- rection in fourteen of the cities of Connecticut employment exchanges | where the employer can find much la Dor in the market and the man who has the time and skill to sell can find more employers seeking labor than in
 any other place and by any other
 method. To use the local office of the U. $. Employment Service is to save
 time both for the employer and the employe and it costs absolutely noth- ing. The service is free for the gov
 ernment pays the expenses.
 It is curious that in conditions sucl,
 as these there should be opposition
 on the part of a set of manufacturers
 more or less frankly antagonistic tc ! organized labor against the continu-
 ance of this branch of the fedora, service. Such men are very short 1 sighted. They are setting up a mar Of straw in their arguments in order
 to prevent congress from eontinuine , appropriation for the service The
 opposition which comes from employ.

but would undoubtedly be the secre- tary of war today but for the>fact that his religious scruples would not per- init him to take the position. He has been serving as custodian of the alien property which has been seized by this government. which office he will he obliged to resign, but his flomina- tion comes at a time when resolu- tions have been introduced in both houses of congress seeking investiga- tions into the conduct of that office involving the handling of millions of dollars, the claim being that excessive fees have been allowed and inefficien- cy has prevailed.
 Mir. Palmer has not been selected because of the reputation which he has established as a lawyer but it is the legal affairs of the nation which he will be expected to wrestle with.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The ides cf March have been no worse than the offerings of winter thus far so there was little to beware of.
 President Wilson has named A. Mitchell Palmer as attorney general. Although a Boston man had been strongly mentioned for the place it was useless to expect such an ap- pointment to come to New England
 The man on the corner says: What Q time to put up city court salaries when prohibition is going reduce the court business, lnasmuch as two baths a month are being allowed some of the Russians the bolsheviki will never be charged with being over generous.
 It has taken a long time to bring it about but it is a gratifying an
 nouncement that the New England di- vision is to be brought home through a New England port. No one was very grateful for the ruling that only two- thirds of the re- cuired amount of coal could be had last fall, but from the weather offer ings it has proved to be a great re- lief on the pocketbook IT, as claimed, Admiral Won Tirpitz :s penniless in Switzerland, there's no
 good reason why he should impose l himself on a nation which never had , any interest in ruthless submarine i warfare.
 There is no mistakinu the time of the year when preparations are being made to combat the mosquitoes. | or course the more intoxicants tha; | are sold between now and the tilriC | prohibition goes into effect the ereate, the revenue the government will re- 1 ceive.
 No one would be surprised to sec
 the straw hat make its appearance most any day now. | lt IS planned to have three quarter. | of a million more soldiers home by
 June, and it Is an unanimous verdict
 that they cannot be gotten here any l too soon.
 | With the announcement that fur:
 are to be cheaper. it will be grea | time to stock up on the popular sum. l mer raiment.
 From the friehtful conduct Of tht

little sense in being apprehensive about the weather which is according to law, and is self corrective or self balancing We do not understand the weather, and for that reason it is dis appointing to human sense when it is comforting a blessing. We all know if man controlled the weather according to his whins it would be likely to
 contribute more to his pleasure than to his needs. The drouth is natu1 e's cure for excess of moisturo and the sour conditions of the soil; and + took mau probably more than one hund'cd thousand years to learn tl.i,. The
 weather fits the e:Lrth and meets man S necessities if it does go right or defy in his prayers.

\ Of course it is impossible for Ger many to pay the damages and the war cost of the allies in one genera tion but haven't we satisfactory au- thority for the doctrine that the sins of the fathers shall be visited on the childl len.-Waterbury Democrat.
 It is to be hoped that some of the women of Waterbury will appear at the hearing that the board ef chari- ties is to hold next week to consider what ought to be done about provid- ing destitute children of the city with suitable homes. Men, in the way that men ever have, will consider that the problem has been solved if the physical needs of the orphans have been provided for. To the minds of men it will appear enough if roof is provided to keep off the rain, clothing for the warmth of the body and food in daily abundance. Women who live closer to the children understand best that not all tho needs of the little ones have been provided for when these essentials have been seeured.-Waterbury Republican.
