suRLEsoN's TROUBLE.

Mir. Burleson attempts to set him. self up as martyr by claiming that the newspapers Of the country. or some of them at least, are attacking him because he took the stand which he did regarding the second class pos tai rate Possibly he can satisfy him. self by such a statement but it will not go far with the public who have had an opportunity to realize during the time he has been in office what kind of service it has been getting and what kind of policies he supports.
 The postmaster general is the only che that is responsible for the criti- cism that has been expressed regard ing him. The second class mail rate had nothing to do with the poor pos tai service that the country has been getting under his guidance and his drawing of red herring across the trail will not change public opinion.
 But the postal service is not the only reason for the criticism direct. ed against him since the adninistra- ton of the telephone and telegraph lines of the country has called forth similar complaint Though the respon. sibility for his appointment. to carry

EDITORIAL NOTES.

That welcome which the 26th di- vision was given in Boston could al- most be heard at this distance.
 Postmaster General Eurleson has apparently come to the conclusion that all knocks are not boosts.
 Probably Germany is having a chuckle or two over the way in which the big four are disagreeing amongst themselves.
 There is at present determined deadlock at Paris. but then of course it is well known that great men change their minds.
 Far less progress is being made by the allies at the peace conference than was made in the field with Gen. eral F'och directing affairs.
 With Mexico coming out against the Monroe doctrine at this stage of the game it shows what sort of con- genial neighbor it is planning to be in the future.
 From the way in which the sub scriptions are flowing, in 1t can be readily understood that the people consider the Victory loan q mighty good thing.
 The man on the corner says: Those who have been faithfully engaged ir making a collection of government se- curities cannot afford to overlook the Victory notes.
 It's a great time for Germans tc complain that the terms to be asked of them will make them coolies. They ] should have thought of that before thu war was opened.
 | Newfoundland may be the neares point to Europe, but the weather con ditions there are not what the bird men call exactly favorable for across the Atlantic flights. -
 Massachusetts is preparing lesisla tion intended to block the sale 0 stolen automobiles. If it can be don it will be just what is needed to pre- vent a growing crime.
 It makes little difference that tn distillers think that it will be hard t enforce the prohibition amendment but it is quite evident that they don intend to contribute any assistance
 It is only what might be expecte when the Germans complain of tn
 way they are being treated by tn
 Belgians. That's the way a bully al ways acts when the tables are turned It is only what was expected whc preparations are already being mad in Boston to protest the coming in crease in telephone rates made nee essary by the increased wages grant

INFLUENCE.

Lord, teach us to pray. as John also taught his disciples We have here an illustration of the silent influence of our Lord.
 One of His disciples had observed Him praying, and struck with the grandeur and sweetness of the act, he asks to be taught how to pray 7
 Without a commandment, but by the power of His example, He influenced His disciples.
 All in whom Christ lives in supreme affection can and must live Him out, giving out the very motive which He gave to them, and which spreads forth to others.
 Teach me to pray, said the disci- pie, but he had more than half learned the lesson when he looked on Christ praying.
 On the way to the cross, Jesus does not recommend patience, He is pa tience. On the cross He does not speak of love; He is love as never was before. The same in lesser degree, in his servants of all ages-in Moses, Elijah, John and Paul The life had the most influence for good. Some need encouragemen They 1 feel the uselessness of their liyes-no money, little Knowledge or eloquence 1 But they are not useless if true to what is pure. gentle and brave-true 1 to Christ
 1 Influence is not the less powerful | because it is the more silent. The
 grandest powers in nature are silent i Never let it be forgotten that only l those who fill their hearts with the
 grace and work of Christ shall all un.

SOUTH THAMES STREET ExTeN-
SION.

Though. as the writer points out in connection with the advocacy of the extension Of South Thames street to Shipping street and beyond to the main highway. the idea is not a new one. for the plan Of carrying out such work for the greater part of the dis tance has been urged before yet it cannot fail to be realized that such an improvement would be of 'spe- cial advantage to the industries in that section of the city
 Even though much Of their Shipping may he done right at the door there is more or less hauling to and from the center of the city and in that work it is necescary not only to negotiate the two srades in West Thames street but also the sharp incline at Shipping street. To overcome them would be a decided advantage and at the same time the proposed extension would greatly facilitate the response of the fire department to calls which might come from those very industries, since such a Street would have only slight grade at the most and would pass right by their doors.
 It can hardly be believed that such d road would be regarded as the prop CT one for the main entrance to the city from that direction. or that the giving of attention to the extension would warrant the abandonment of the improvement of West Thames street. the condition of which de- mands all that it is proposed to dc there. But there is nevertheless good reason for continuing South Thames street for business purposes. What such an extension would cost is not known but it would not be a bad idea to secure estimates and give it proper consideration if it is within reach.

It is the high handed imperialistic man ner in which he has carried on his work that has brought forth the eom- plaints. Mir. Burleson has established a record which he needs to study if he would know what the trouble is. The general feeling as expressed from all sections of the country. including the south and his own state. shows why there is a demand that his res- ignation be called for.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Didn't Want to Be Told.

/. MT Editor: It might be bit awk- ward for the college professors. who have given ten or twelve years of their lives to fitting themselves for their positions, to change to other oc- equations, especially since the major ity of them have families for whose support and educa ation they are re- sponsible. but the '-pedagogues' have already taken the course suggested by the Waterbury American.
 They did not wait to be told. Hadn't the Waterbury American heard of the serious shortage of teachers ill our schools?
 But what a commentary OF a com munity that pays it's chefs, baseball plays, and opera singers, with a lav- ish hand, and skimps the teachers of it's children, and youth.
 Was Waterbury one of those Con necticut valley cities that was call- ing for an armory and troops to pro- tect it from the bolshevists?

THE AUTO THIEF.

Stealing automobiles is a crime that is confined to no one section Of the country. The possibilities that exist therein for the professional are many and they are carrying on their work on an extensive scale, not being satisfied with selling such stolen prop erty at big sacrifices but working in bands and carrying out a well organ ized plan of taking such machines apart rebuilding and repainting them and putting them on the market under the guise Of cars that have been taken in exchange with the means of identi- fed pretty well if not absolutely eradi- cated.
 From the large number of automo-
 piles i'll use and the many that are
 parked in the highways and other
 public places, some excellent picking
 is offered. The thieves are not un-
 mindful of it and in the larger cen-
 ters they are disappearing in varying numbers each day regardless of the efforts that are being made by the authorities to prevent it.
 Such calls for the exercise Of the greatest precautions TOT tnelr oWL protection by the owners, but in addi-
 tion it is apparent that legislation
 which will deal with such thieves as they should be dealt with is needed It is well known what the stealing o1 horses means in different sections 0. the country and how strong the law has been. made to discourage sucf | business, which makes 1t evident tha unles some such plan as Massachu setts is working on for requiring a de. tailed registration of all second hanC cars, it may become necessary to pu auto stealing in a class with hors' ! stealing. It is quite evident how ever, that those who are running of with cars cannot be shown leniency i the practice is going to be stopped.

THE PARIS OCk

What the next move will be for the bringing together Of the "big four" for d settlement of the situation in re- gard to the demands of Italy will be awaited with interest. The with drawal of Orlando does not mean that his country is not still represented at Paris or that it will not continue to be. Italy will consider well what such q move would mean in the way of complications. The deadlock is of course unfortunate, hut it is hard to understand why Italy should insist upon the carrying out of its entire programme, when it is known that it conflicts with the views of the other countries in looking after the rights of smaller nations and in striving for future peace. Italy stands in far less danger than France and yet France na compromised its claims regarding the Saar valley.
 To hand over Plume and the Dal- matian coast to Italy means the shut ting off of Jugoslavia. which means Serbia. from the sea and a chance to develop from which it has long sui tered. The plan of giving it to Jugo- slavia is regarded by Italy as cndan- Sering the future peace in that local ity. Such being tho case and the deadlock holding firm it is quite nat ural that efforts should be undertaken 10 effect a compromise, and such il would seem could be brought about by the making of Ffume an internationa port Under such an arrangement tht interests of all could be properly taken care of. II would mean con cession by each side but it ought tt overcome such ill feelings as will b, engendered now whether Plume zoe to Italy or Jugoslavia. What is need cd now is work for the peace of tn future and not the lowing down t, imperialistic demands. If France cal do 1t certainly Italy ought to.

CLEANING UP AND PREVENTION

Clean up weeks have not been ob- served so often in any community that there is no need for more. any more than it Would be said that house cleaning could be overlooked because it was done last year. There is always need of the timely cleaning up of premises, and this should include bus mess property storage buildings. and cellars as well as backwards. It is a wise precaution not only from the standpoint of appearances and health but as a matter of safety. It is through the cleanup endeavors that an unlimited amount of excellent fire preventive work is accomplished.
 In this connection it is a commend able effort that is. being made by the state fire marshal of Michigan when he asks that week be devoted to a thorough cleaning up and removal of all rubbish and inflammable material from the premises. the inspection of chimneys and heating plants, the looking over of public and private buildings, the keeping clear of stair ways and the haiting of the practice of filling closets with material which not only furnishes an excellent place for the killdling of fire but furnishes fuel for disastrous eonflagrations once a fire gets underway.
 When he points out that shere were TAI fires in Michigan from unknown and incendiary causes. but 5349 from defective heating plants and chim-
 ieys, gasoline and kerosene. careless use of matches and smokers, sponta- neous combustion and rubbish, caus- ing loss of over ten million dollars it can he readily appreciate that there is merit in the urgent appeal for q general participation in cleaning up te avoid just such- needless loss. 70, Of course Michigan iF no different than any other state in this respec and the advice holds good here as i does elsewhere.

Police on Peace Basis.

The last vestige of military equip ment was taken from the London po- lice recently when an order was issued by the commissioner of the metropol- itan force for the return to the stores of all swords and scabbards. In the old days superintendents inspectors and all mounted men carried swords and were instructed in cutlass drill
Norwich bulletin., 1919-04-26

The weapons were occasionally used in the suppression of riots. Years ago the inspectors were deprived of their swords, which they hung in the police
 stations. The order withdrawing the swords will not lead to the withdrawal of automatic pistols. a supply of which is kept in every police station for use in cases of emergency. In ordinary times the London ''bobby" goes out l for duty armed with no more effec- 1 tive weapon than the law and the i'm
 pressive dignity of his six-foot per- sonality.

HOW TO GROW
CUCUM BERS,

Two to five hills of cucumbers usu- ally will produce enough for the or dinary family. Cucumbers require con siderable space, and for that reason they may not fit into the scheme of small gardens. It is possible, how ever, to plant the cucumbers along a fence or near a building and train the vines on a support of wire or strings so that they will not encum-
