DEMONSTRATION OF FITNESS.

Things would come to a pretty state of affairs if judges of courts were ac- customed. to decide cases in accord to the clamor of a certain class rather than according to law. Nevertheless that is what is frequently sought and the situation which exists in New York state at the present time shows how punishment is held out to judges who are true to their responsibilities.
 New York state has the elective sys- tenn of selecting judges. Judge An drews was recently called upon to hear the case in which the constitutionality of the law passed in that state author izing a bond issue to take care of bo- nus for the soldiers. After hearing the evidence in the case and studying the law Judge Andrews decided that the law was unconstitutional and the S45,- OoO,O0O was neither raised nor distrib- uted To have done so would have been 1 against the fundamental law of the state and yet because Judge Andrews | decided in accordance with the law of the state much political pressure has l been brought to bear in an endeavor tc 1 prevent his being nominated by the re- publican convention for place on the court of appeals bench.
 Judge Andrews was not responsible for the provisions of the New York state constitution. and he certainly
 would be grossly unfit to act as a judgt
 in any capacity if he did not make his | decisions in accord with the law regard
 less of what political effect it might
 have or what class 1t might disappoint
 As matter of fact Judge Andrews il
 being guided by the law demonstrated
 his fitness for his job

READ YOUR CHARACTER

IMPATIENT T-CRossING-


 Among other things that a scientific study of long-distance and face-to face character indications has revealed is the significance of the manner in which a person crosses his or her "t's" in writ ing.
 It sounds like a far-fetched claim to say that one can tell whether a subject .is Impatient or not by the manner in which the crossstroke of the "t" Is made; yet in ninety-five cases /out of hundred the characteristic holds good. More than this, it is possible to gauge by this means the relative degree Of i'm patience.
 T'-crossings in which the stroke starts at the stem of the letter, or per haps bare triae to the left of 1t, and extends a considerable distance to the right, is an indication Nf hastiness, of animation of impulsiveness of the man ] or woman whose mental processes are geared to high-speed, and whose actions l are even more nasty. | When the cross stroke is entirely tc the right of tie stem of the letter wher 1t does not touch it at all, the indica tion is that vf downright inpatience and quick tenrar

COSTLY QUAKEs

In the last Is years during which period Italy has been stricken by earthquakes 13 times, the Italian Gov ernment has spent s44,600, GOO in repairs in the 25 provinces. including more than 1000 towns and villages, which have suffered from the disasters. This sum is exclusive of the amounts spent for the reconstruction Of public build ings destroyed.
 In view of the grave condition of the public finances and Of the present high cost of materials, the Govern ment considers 1t the part of pru- dence to limit the budget system re- quests for the continuation of the re- construction work to a sum estimated necessary for the building to be ac- complished in one year.
 About one-fifth of this sum will be used for the building of barracks and cottages to rehouse the populations i made homeless by earthquakes. Five million dollars is considered necessary for the construction of these dwellings and the sum of s17,S20,oo0 is the esti- nation for the continuation of other works of reconstruction.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

who have know it best-including O. Henry-it has taken on the unofficial cognomen, 'Sanantone.'
 "A hundred years ago San Antonio was almost entirely Spanish and Mexi- can. Fifty years ago it could be con- sidered only half American. Then the railroads came to quicken it's life, the rich COW country round about was de- veIoped, and few far-sighted business men worked up to the fact that it was situated without competitors in the very center of a territory that would need unmeasured supplies. Since that time San Antonio has grown it's forest of sky-scrappers and factory chimneys like scores of it's fellow American cities. Ap- preaching the 100000 mark, and with greater. population than that during the winter tourist season, 1t leads all other cities in Texas though it is closely ap- preached by Dallas and Houston. An ob- server set down suddenly on Commerce or Texas street might easily imagine himself in Syracuse. Atlanta, Memphis, Dayton or any one of dozen other cities. of a similar size.
 "As it has grown San Antonio has lost most of it's exotic flavor; but touches of old Spain and Mexico are still to be | found if one searches for them. A lew of the narrow, winding streets of the old days are left with sidewalks on which | two pedestrians can hardly pass.

Us1Na THE VOTING MACHINES.

There are less than 300 who have been made voters in Norwich this month which gives them the right tc participate in the town election next Monday. Unfortunately there were those to the number of 45 who desired to be made but who had failed to take the necessary preliminary steps.
 It is probable that a large number of the newly made voters are not ac- quainted with the voting machines, be, cause inasmuch as they had not had occasion to use them they had not fa- miliarized themselves with them. For have a demonstration of the machine in the corridor of the city hall three af- ternoons and evenings this week, com
 mencing today, for the purpose of in- structing any who may desire. This demonstration is not solely for the teaching of the new voters. It is fol
 the benefit of any voter who feels thai Ne or she needs to get posted regard ing any question concerning the opera
 ton of the machine and it is an oppor
 tunity that ought not to be disregard ed
 Those 45 who desired to be made vot CTS, and took enough interest to go be- fore the board only to find out they hat neglected to make application, waited too long. For tho benefit of themselve, and the election officials next Monday any and all who need to have any points cleared up regarding the ma chipes should not neglect to go to tht city hall on one of the three afternoon!
 and profit from the instructions whicl have been planned and will be carried out for their benefit.
 Voting by machine is simple, quicl and accurate. It takes but brief tim | to be instructed and when provision i
 made to aid any uncertain voters ful | advantage should be taken of it.

to the Poles the sum of 3o,ooo,ooo gold roubles. The soviets haven't kept this agreement. There Is some question as to whether 1t is able to do so but that doesn't appear to be the ground taken up to the present time at least. Soviet Russia in fact indicates that even though it has the money it will not turn it over to Poland until the Poles drive out that anti -bolshevik leader, General Savinkof.
 The attitudes taken by both countries thus far indicates 8 determination to have their demands gratifed or they will fight. That Is the alternative put forth in the Polish ultimatum and it's receipt by Moscow has resulted in the issuance of a call for greater military activities and an appeal to the people of Russia and the border states to re- sist an invasion of Russian soil.
 Poland is much exercised over the fact that soviet Russia has not kept it's promise in this respect Treaty terms are made with the expectation that they will be kept. But the failure to keep treaty promises doesn't appear to be the only instance where the soviet gov ernment has fallen by the wayside and Poland isn't the only country that is complaining since 1t was only recently that British statements were to the ef- feet that Poland was not keeping it's trade agreements.
 Conditions in Russia are not what they were few years ago. Indications increase that the soviet government is steadily slipping and the question must naturally arise as to whether such an alternative as Poland threatens would serve to hasten the break or help to rally the many factions to the defense of Russia Poland might collect through the use of force but it should well con- sider whether it is advisable at this time, and whether such a plan is best
