THE CAUCUS RESULT.

Not for many moons has there been such an interest displayed in repub- lican caucus as was shown by the num- Der assembled in the town hall for the selection of delegates to the state, con gressiona1. senatorial and probate con- Ventions. It indicated an interest which if it continues under a united banner as of course it should, should mean a rous- ing victory in the coming election for the entire ticket.
 Never before, or not for some time at least, has there been such an outpouring to the selection of a senator from this district. But there can be no question as to what the sentiment of the people in Norwich as well as in the other two towns making up the district is. The gathering was such that it can safely be considered that the party has spoken in the matter of a choice and attention cannot fail to be given to the gracious manner in which the defeated candidate accepted the verdict and gave. assurance of his enthusiastic support in behalf of the caucus's selection.
 Contests are frequently necessary in order to get an expression of opinion. They do no harm and indicate healthy interest provided the outcome is accept ed in the right spirit and unity prevails n party action thereafter
 That former Mayor Brown has receiv- ed the Endorsement of the majority of the republicans desirous of an epportu- hity of expressing their views upon such 5 matter cannot be questioned. It is to be hoped and expected that he will get the support of the district to which he Is entitled when the time comes to cast the ballots. The contest has at least brought about an awakening in the dis trict which had not. previously to a short while, been foreeasted.

COAL PRODUCTION COSTS.

Whatever drop has been made in the price of coal and whatever is expected in the near future will have to be charged in the opinions of many to the findings which have been put forth by the federal trade commission relative to the cost of producing coal
 This commission has been studying costs and it finds that West Virginia mine operators are selling coal at the mine for $40 to which there must be added about g for transportation to Hampton Roads making ton of coal taken at that point about s54O, or a decided difference between what some users of coal, including the federal ship ping board, have been forced to pay
 It thus appears that the federal com mission has performed an important ser vice but such service 1t would seem ought to be constant and not spasmodic It ought to be so that it would be in- possible for specuIators to charge such ezorbitant prices by having such cost prices available at all times for the de- partment of justice to act upon in pro- tecting the consumer.
 In getting at the cost of production the commission requires reports from the operators. In - It's latest figures it re- eeiyed information from less than 700 operators or less than a, third. of the en- tire number due to the fact that an ap- peal has been made to the courts to de- tern1ine whether the commission has the authority to demand the reports. Such reports as have continued to be received have served to give the commission much valuable assistance. and to dem onstrate that there are other than op- orators who have an opportunity to en- gaze in the much opposed prof. eeriag.
 It can thus be appreciated the import ance of having such reports regliariy Furnished h this government agency.

OUR FORESTS.

Whatever may be the outcome of the forestry conference held in New Hamp- shire this week there can be no question but what such meetings of those inter ested in the development and conserva- ton of forests will be greater in num- Der as the years roll by There are many problems faced at the present time in connection with the timber and paper supply of the country which are due for increased attention. There was a time when the forests of this broad country seemed sufficient to last for an almost endless term of years. The supply seem- ed almost inexhaustible but because of the great inroads which have been made into it, the slight consideration given to overcoming waste and the inadequate plans for the replacing of the denuded territory that we have awakened all of sudden to the fact that something must be done and without any waste of time if the needs of the land are going to be met in a reasonable manner
 There is much to be done for the pres ervation of our forests. There are the many diseases which must be fought and thare is the great destruction through
  consideration in the way of preventive wrok There is likewise the attention which must be given to reforestation. To let the forests replace themselves with out other than natures aid will not keep pace. with the speed with which trees are being cut down.
 These are all matters which must come in for increased attention. We cannot expect to use up and waste our forests and still expect to have an un- limited supply with which to meet our ever increasing needs. The study of the present day conditions, and the problems that must be solved in meeting them, needs to be carried on with full under standing of. what can be expected unless more attention is given insuring an 'ade- quate future timber supply. Conserva- tion and development can we'll be carried on in connection with our woodlands.

Sunday Morning Talk
To Some, Death is Gain.

Ready for death Some one has said something like this about Christ: He made a will, He gave His spirit back to God His body He gave to JosepS, Zis mother to John. His forgiveness to His enemies, and His preeiows saving blood to this earth. Everything that it is necessary to know the blessed Master tells us. Have you had relatives or friends who died in their sins-loving the world and fesh-with whom you didn't deal faithfully as to their souls? If so, there is cause for deep sorrow. For our neglect We shall have to give an account and consider what it means to those we neglect Let us err no more on that line Be guilt1ess and not guilty in these matters The kings business requires haste, for life is a shadow-here today away tomorrow. They are not working heavenward, it Is to be feared, who are not moving the crowd along with them, or trying their best to do it. Christ says that those who are ''so doing when death comes was that man doing the last days of his life ! On what errand bound when heart failure struck hinl-planning for God? We have d picture in the Bible OF cherished man whose heart became as stone before he died. That was the heart he grew. We are already classified with the crucified or the crucifiers on the right or the left; hearts of flesh or hearts of stone Christ finished His part. Are we at work on ours?
 For me to die is gain, shouts St. Paul. God is no respector of persons He is ready to put a new song into the mouths of all who wish it. The good die iii hope the Bad with out hope. Stephen died well for his was a life of service and

PROVED A .DuD.

The big shell which Governor Cox of Ohio promised to throw into the repub- lican camp by his Pittsburgh speech proved to be a dud. It didn't explode He induiged in a lot of statements by which he may have thought he was tell ing the country a profound secret and surprising the people by his revelations but his effort was lost when he admit ted that what he was saying had been taken from official bulletins of the re- publicans and distributed by them throughout the country in the way of publicity.
 The quota sheet which he had plan ned as the percussion cap of his projec- tile is to be regarded only for what it $. Governor Cox has been max ing record jumps to get at the conclu- sions he desires. Having come into pos session of sheet of figures he presents it as proof that sinister influences have contributed millions to buy the presidency when as matter O. fact, the list was only tentative and had never been considered
 It can thus be readily understood why Governor Cox desired to present such cN Iu6liCS lO lIl6 COuAtIy d DOIItl- eal speech. instead of or before submit ting it to the congressional committee campaign funds. By SC doing he of course gets his claims witf, his so-called proof before the country without being obliged to actually prove what he has charged or stand cross ex~ animation
 Even before there has been refuta- tion by the republicans it is impossible to discover where he has proved any thing. He uses republican statements and list of figures and builds his whole revelation about hasty inferences. He had given the country to understand that he was to submit proof but such does not appear. He certainly cannot expect the people to be carried off their feet by any such evidence. His revela- tions show good reason why he was not anxious in the beginning to respond to the congressional committees request for the submission of his evidence.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

Though the day may still be far dis tant when people can once more wonder over almost the whole world without passports, beginning has been made in that direction. Day trips to Boulogne, for which passports are unnecessary, are now announced. So the first tiny breach has been made in the barriers, and we go as far as the French coast with out the delay and expense which are the chief public grievances against passpirts
 Wooden Walls" Slump-America s wooden walls" the ships that sprang up like mushrooms to defeat the subma= rine camgaign, have led mushroom ex- stence, so far as their utility is con- cerned. Experienced shipping men have assured the "Shiping World that 1t would save money to make a big boh- fire of them, rather. than pay caretaking crews and insurance. Put in competi- tion with steel ships the orange box" craft are hopelessly out of the running. Could we, by the way, acquire them for housing purposes?
 Fud and Flimsies.-Freaka of weather have been playing strange havoc with fashion of late. Last Sundays sunshine smiled on a great company of optinhists

 Trade with Germanys--If one direction our trade with Germany is greater than it has ever been before. During the first seven months of the year we ex- ported 5s,0o0 tons Of salted heffings to Germany, compared with 44,e00 tons in the same period of 1st3 The price. which would be about 10s a cwt., is now well over 2os., 50 that it is a nut unprehtable business for British fisher men. Russia, our other great consumer of herrings, is. of course, not buying so many. Yet somehow Or another 6,000 tons have been landed in that distressful country this year. As the herring in- dustry is largely dependent en the ex- port trade for it's prosperity, this n | very promising start.

The way to make tomorrow happy is to do our whole duty to God and man today When this one fell he was doing what Christ did, taking the poor by the hand and lifting them up It hasn't entered into the heart of men to conceive of the good things which God has in store for those stirred up to better doing for others by thinking of what God has done for us. Death has no sting for the good.

Use of saecharin.

MT. Editor: A short time ago there ap- peared in your columns an article re- garding the use of saccharin in soft drinks. This article, particularly the last paragraph, and similar articles, tend to frighten patients who, on account of va rious conditions, are unable to use sugar and are allowed to use saccharin to make their food palatable.
 About thirteen years ago. to satisfy my own mind as to whether or not. sa ccha- rin was harmful, I conducted experi- ments for over year on human beings and animals, giving in some cases enor- nous amounts of saccharin, and I found absolutely no deleterious effects. Since that time, experiments have been con- ducted by Dr. Solomon and others on a large scale, and no harmful effects have been discovered to follow the use of saccharin.
 It is against the law to use saccha- rin in food which is offered for sale, but that it is harmful I most emphatically deny. I have great many patients who are using it-some of them having used 1t constantly for over twenty years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Put None But Americans on Guard.

Ut NOHe AmeflcanS on Guard.
 Mr. Editor: The above famous order of Washington will be recalled as a politi- cal slogan of years ago and it shows that whatever may have been General Clinton's opinion of his antagonists in the Revolutionary army, Washington knew his army full as we'll and who he could trust in an emergency. a This writer, of course, was not an eye witness to either the blowing up, in Cork, of the soldiers monument, nor to the dis crediting of the American sailors. We got our information from the dispatch es, and no secret was made in these as to the perpetrators of both the outrages, and the spirit that animated them
 One point was to show that as far as the Friends of Irish Freedom are concerned, their sympathies were with the Germans, first and last, and that oh the ground of the victories of the world war, they are not entitled to any bene- fits that are to accrue-noE any previ- ous wars.
 In the great war for humanity Amer ica could forget the revolution, but for no cause can Ireland's friends CD for get an enemy. Their ennity is perpetual and no democracy can appease it.
