CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

London is suffering from an epidemic | of "tar throat" It is a soreness due to | the combination of tar and powdered i gravel where roads are being repaired. | and where the dust is thrown up in large quantities and scattered by fast-moving motors.
 Sugar Truths-There is an abundnce of free" sugar now, as all the rgrocers' shops proclaim The explanation Is that the attempted American "corner" has failed, and that prices are tumbling rap idly. During the summer citizens of the United States were paying the equivalent ; of Is lid a pound for granulated sugar. If our own sugar commission had not ac- cumulated reserves, and had not been able to buy the Mauritius crop, the price would have been still higher here and elsewhere. British consumers may be grateful that they were able. to stand aloof from the American gamble. The prospects for next year are good, be- cause some of the European countries, especially Czecho- -Slovakia, are again producing sugar for export, and the world will cease to be entirely dependent on l the tropics.
 Unemployment-Over 100, 900 workers in the hoisery, boot and shoe, and allied trades in Leicester and district, are on | half-time, and many are working even i less. It is estimated that the loss in
 wages amounts to 125,OOO pound a week.
 The number of those altogether out of i employment is increasing rapidly.
 1 Royal Naval Offcers-The rapidly ap- 1 proachinf conclusion of the Prince of | Wales tour will bring to an end also a coincidence with 40 years ago which | has existed since Prince George left Eng /! land in June on the Temeraire. For the past four months two Princes of the | blood royal have been afoat at the same ] time as naval officers Not since the present king and the late Duke of Clar.

THE NoRMIcH-MEsrERt, 1nAp.

Efforts were made some time age 10 get authority to discontinue the opera ten of the Norwich x Westerly :rcllry road. Because Of the opp ;ttl5n the pe- tltiun was withdrawn For a nura!:ar of months this road has been "i,e. at,.I ,n- dor curtailed schedule anu from re- ports without profit.
 By the petition which has nov been presented by Receiver Perkins to he superior court asking for authority to sell the line or discontinue the opera ton Of it it Is evident that those who are interested in the maintenance of such service as the road affords and such as it can be expected to afford in the future should not let the opportunity slip by of doing whatever is possible to avoid the ending of trolley service between this city and Westerly.
 It is uncertain whether the ending of the operation of this road can be pre- vented. It is hardly believed that such operations can be ended without inter- fering with hte accommodation of a large number of people and depriving Norwich of valuable transportation ser vice.
 Norwich should do it's utmost to see that this avenue of travel is not closed and that if a sale is planned that it should not be disposed of for the pur- pose Of junking the system without making determined effort to keep il in operation. It will be much easier and better to keep iE away from. the junk man than it would be to attempt to re. build such a system in the future
 l, was not long ago that certain sec tions of the Shore Line system were sold and the purchasers began tearing up the rails only to bring forth rec. osnition on the part of those served that they ought not to be deprived of trolley service and efforts are underway to re store it.
 Many other towns than Norwich ar, served by this Norwich & Westerly road 1T this service is worth having it i worth retaining. There should be ac lion along the whole line before it i too late and Norwich shouldn't be tn least interested

WHY HAEDING.s PLAN APPEALS.

Some of those who are favorable to the league of nations as M~. Wilson brought it from France are so inclined because they believe that it will pre- vent any future war and make it unnec- -ssary for our forces to go or impossible for them to be called 70 Europe again. They do not want a repetition of sending our army and navy to fight battles in Europe.
 lt should be remembered, however, nat every memf CT of the league under the provisions of the covenant as it now stands guarantees against external az gression the territorial integrity and ex- isting political independence of all mmebers of the league. That means that force Is to be depended upon to get Inc respect for and the preservation of the territorial boundaries, and when force is decided upon it rests with the members of the league to provide it. The league doesn't possess any other forces.
 According to President Wilson we would not be legally bound to respect our obligations, but we would be mor- ally bound to do go Presidential cleo tors are not legally bound to vote for the candidate of tka parey that elects they but they arg morally bound to dc SO and that moral obligation whether 1t is in the case of tho league or that of the member of the electoral college is fully as biruing if not more so than the legal obligation.
 Morally bound to preserve the terri. torial integrity of other nations we would be obligated to protect and de. fend t, 90 that instead of keeping ou1 boys and country out of war the cove nant IS it now stands would threaten them with service in Europe.
 It isn't such league that the country wants It is such a league that Sena tor Harding opposes but he favors z league or an association of nations tha- will not obIgate us to service in Europ. at the call of the league but which vii work in other ways for the prevention of war. leaving Europe to fight it's owI

 You are raving,", said the man with the too-short haircut. There is nothing restful, Geraldine, about one room and kitchenette. When you live in one of those you are always too busy to rest. Either you are folding things into the wall or unfolding them, or hurrying to put the days washing of silk stockings and such under the davenport before the, caller gets upstairs or else you are trying to reRdjust your mind to a sit ting room that just few seconds ago was a bedroom and in a minute will be dining room.

ROOTS ADDRESS ON LEAGUE.

Ever since his return from Europe eff forts have been made to get Elihu Root to express himself anew in regard to the league 3f nations. He maintained a silence until the recent declaration of 91 prologue republicans was put forth showing their endorsement of Harding. Of that statement Mir Root is credited with being the author
 With his one address of the campaign made in New York Tuesday night, he has however shown, by word of mouth, where he stands and clearly set forth why he every republican and every one who stands by his country is or should be- for the election of Senator Harding.
 As MT Root who has had a guiding hand in connection with the interna- tional court of justice at The Hague. pointedly declares the issue is not. be- tween league of nations and no league of nations but whether the agreement creating the league shall be accepted absolutely unchanged or be modified to meet American objections. As is be- lieved by Senator Harding and others MT. Root believes that the American ob- jections can be met and obviated with out lHbtTleTlIS Hltn lHo SCuS1lAS Ol lae league or ir.lpairing its usefulness, and he is confident that other nations are i willing to accept such changes. even as they were at the time when the treatJ could have been ratified had Presiden Wilson not directed otherwise.
 1 As to article ten MT. Root believes i
 most objectionable, but he believes tha such objections can be negotiated ant l overcome and that we can get the bene
 fits of the league without the dangerou features.
 Elihu Roots address was a clear GU analysis of the entire situation surround ing the league and with strong argu ment did he urge the election of Sena tor Harding that there may be an earl peace and q league that the Unite
 States can join without putting interna tionalism before Americanism.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Issue.

Mfr Editor: zs A Citizens letters were addressed to you, 1t is not a matter of surprise to this writer that Thinking Cit izen has not found the point made clear to him, through some smoke he names. Making it clear to him may involve a proposition deeper than the simple Ques- tion at issue, which that writer does not
 yet realize concerns not the Human Fly,
 the Rotary club. nor the mayor of New London. Neither does it concern the con- stitutionality of the traffic laws of the city
 of Norwich.
 It does concern, and properly, too, the authority of the chief magistrate to act in accordance with the laws and ordin-
 ances of the council that are in exis- ! tence during the period of his admins tration and that were enacted previous to his election or after.
 This is his sworn obligation on as suming the office. as well as his right and l if he violates this he is as culpabEe | as MT Boardman or any other violdtor. It is not the province of the mayor to conclude an act unconstitutional and excuse its violation. He is to be prais- 1 ed that he did not in the present in- ! stance. This is theg issue now: however 1 hazy it may appear through the glasses
 of your other correspondent.

WASTE BASKET MATERIAL

Return postals are being received in town, and it is presumed they are be- ing sent throughout the state, for the purpose of getting voters to pledge themselves to the body of workers who are promoting the election of Cox and Roosevelt and senators who favor enter ing the CWilson) league of nations.
 Independent and republican voters are being appealed to under the idea that they will fall for the plan of enrolling themselves with "pro-league independ- ents." The idea is to catch the unwary for it is realized that there are many who favor league, and many republi- cans and independents who favor a league but who are confident that the best interests of the country are going to be served by putting it, in the hands of the republicans to handle the league entrance and get away from the one man government which months ago prevented the ratification of the league with reser- vatioEs. ~..-s.. ,.

 Costly Globe Trotting-Nothing. not even clothes or houses, has increased so much in cost as travel across the seas. Building or repairing vessels is three times as expensive as before the war fuel has made a jump of 450 per cent, and wages and general running charges are enormously higher. To cross the Atlantic one now has to pay as much for a third-class berth-1s pound-as was charged for the saloon in 1914. The lowest first-class fare on an Atlantic lin CT is 50 pounds los. Even before the war these had been progressive expansion. The writer cherishes the memory of a round trip to America in 1887 for which the return fare was 20 pound.
