in the stock yards and were
amply feed by their owners but
on returning to the cor1,als in

ronAY,s IIrNEY HEARING.

When the public utilities commission comes here today for the purpose of de- termining whether public convenience and necessity call for the establishment of jitney routes to, from and in the city there should be an appearance before them that will leave no doubt in the minds of the members as to what the sentiment of Norwich Is on this subject. Thers 1annot fail to be appreciated what good public transportation service means to any community and how help iess it would be should it be curtailed or withdrawn.
 There cannot fail to be appreciated what regular service means, service at stated intervals and over established routss under regulations that mean con- ve1t1nce and safety to the patrons. No community wants service just when there Is q crowd to be transported cr when the weather is good; it wants it at all times on the days when it is hot and the days when it is cold, when it Is pleasant and when # rains or snows. It wants ser yica that can be depended upon
 After the outlays that have been made Tor the establishing of transportation ir .he various directions from this city the injustice of permitting other and unsat. Efactory service to compete with it is as marked as a proposition to try to xii 5ff the business of a railroad by estab fishing parallel line when no demand exists for f.

AFFoRDING GREATER SAFETY.

The depIorable loss of life at Perth Auboy, N J., when a fire truck crash ed into a moving express at a grade crossing because of failure to respect the warning signal of the crossing tender emphasizes anew the importance of elim- mating such danger spots as fast as pos sible and until that can be accomplished the safeguarding of them by adequate signals. At the same time there cannot be overlooked the responsibility that rests upon highway users of showing 1 proper respect for the danger that ex- | ists at those points.
 Just at the present time the railroads are in no condition to undertake such i expensive jobs as the elimination of grade crossings except where the great , est need exists. What it would cost to 1 elevate the tracks at one point would | be sufficient, however. to establish sig nals and safety devices at many cross ings, which as in the Perth Amboy case may not prevent all accidents if proper 1 heed is not given to them but would | serve to warn and check those who are l inclined to respect danger and willing
 to yield the right of way to insure safe. i ty
 By an act of the public service com mission of AAe state of New Hampshir, there has just been approved new typ,
 of crossing signal electrically operated
 whereby a bell rings when a train get
 within 2000 feet of the crossing, al
 arm also drops to further warn highwa,
 users or those who may be deaf and a
 night there are red lights that indicat
 the approach of train. These signal
 have been ordered established at a doze,
 or more crossings and should serve t protect the users of highways from be
 Ing bumped by trains if they are willin
 10 be guided thereby. Unquestionabl
 there are many crossings where there i nothing more than Q signboard wher
 similar protectors could be erected in tn Interest of safety first. It doesn't guar
 antee safety any more than the crossin tender waving his flag did at Perth Am boy but it Is such a step in the way c sensible protection that 1t should serv to meet tho requirements at many point where little or no protection prevails 8 l the present time.

 The recommendation to form govern ments proceeded from the general con- gross the work was done by the several states, in the full enjoyment of, self direction. Each of them claimed to be of right a free, sovereign and indepen- dent state; each bound it's officers to bear to it true allegiance, and to main tain it's freedom and independence, Massachusetts, which was the first state to frame government independent of the king. deviated as little as possible from the letter of it's charter; and as suming that the place of governor was vacant from the 18th day of July, 1775, it recognized the council as the legal successor to executive power.
 On the 1st day of May, 1776, in all commissions and let al processes, it sub stituted the name of it's government and people, for that of the king. In June, | TIT, its legislature assumed power to l prepare a constitution. but on a refer 1 ence to the people the act was disavow- 1 ed. In September. 1779, a convention which the people themselves had special | ly authorized, framed a constitution. It was in a good measure the compilation of John Adams. who was guided by the English constitution, by the bill of rights i of Virginia, and by the experience ot Massachusetts herself, and this constitu- | tion. having been approved by the people went into effect in 17S0.
 On the 5th of January, 1776, New Hampshire shaped it's government w!tf the fewest possible changes from it's colo nial forms, like Massachusetts mergine the executive power in the council No till June, 1783, did it's convention agre, | a inc rl,; al was approved by the people, and estab

 The provisional constitution of Soul
 Carolina dates from the 26th of March
 1776. In March, ITS, a permanent con
 stitution was introduced by an act o
 legislature.
 Rhode Island enjoyed under it's charte a form of government so thoroughly re publican that the rejection of mona rchy in May. 1776, required no change beyon,
 a recommendation of the kings name in tn style of it's public acts. A disfranchise ment of Catholics had stolen into it book of laws, but so soon as it was no ], ticed the clause was expunged. In like manner Connecticut had to sub r stitute the people of the colony for th , name of the king; this was done pro , visionally on the 14th of June, IT'S, an , made perpetual on the 10th of the fol lowing October.

GENERAL GOMEZ

By the death of General Gomez, whose end came from pneumonia in this coun- try to which he came to present his pro- lest against the government in Cuba, there passes one who has been long iden- tihed with politics and trouble in the .sie of Cuba. He was only 65 years of age but back in 1868 he was involved n that ten year war in the island open Ing that year and managed to figure in other affairs as they developed, al- though his was not conspicuous activ- fly in rebellion that resulted In our war with Spain.
 Because of the rebellion which he started after the reelection of Palma tc the presidency of Cuba in 1906 condi. iions in the island were such that this country was forced into a second occu. patton. The effect of his influence wa; such that he was elected president ot Cuba back in 1908 as the leader of tn, liberal party but when Menocal wa, elected president Gomez was ready to and dld cause trouble. The rebellion that he started resulted in his arres and Imprisonment.

It is only what should be expected when President Harding lets it be un- derstood that he is in no frame of mind to tolerate a determined interference with the plans of reorganizing the de- partments of the government for the purpose of producing greater efficiency and economy in administering the af- fairs of the government Those who have taken a selfish position in the mat ter and undertaken to obstruct instead of help should have been engaged in better business. If their acts have been such as to cause their removal they have no one to blame but themselves while their cases should not be lost upon any others who are similarly engaged.
 The need of reorganization has been recognized for a long time. Serious ef- forts have been made to bring it about. The budget system promises to be a helr in one direction but there are ways in which the machinery of the govern ment can be shifted about and placed iii position to do business more effective ly.
 Attention was called to the fact only recently that there had been a reduction in the number of government employees | but at the same time it was maintained 1 that only a start had been made, and that now as at previous times there arc thousands of unnecessary employees kept on the government payroll because oi | the methods that have long been in vogue. That of course is only one of thu many ways in which a change is needed but in all respects the reorganization il of such a character that it must be un dertaken with full determination ant with proper cooperation on the part 0
 all involved. When that is not forth
 coming, or when those who ought t
 help are found to be obstructing it
 only natural to expect that those ob

A person can get more entertain ment walking a few blocks in our neighborhood,' said Loretta reflective 1y, ''than can be found in many a real theatre"
 That isn't saying much these days" said her brother, lazily. But get you just the same.
 T rejoice that you do," remarked Loretta. T was afraid the remark might be too deep for an ordinary in- telligence. It is such beautiful after noon that I went out for a five mile walk and feel as if I had been read ing a three volume novel"
 Pray, let me have the opening chap ters at least" begged her brother with mock eagerness, "how does it begin?"
 Tt begins with me stroling down Clark street." said Loretta. There saw two girls running home from the school It was pretty cold over there and they had run to keep warm, I fancy, their mother had dressed them so ridiculously. Just as they reached l the corner one little girl fell flat and | her big lunch box opened and vac uum bottle flew out with a crash. Both little girls sat down on the sidewalk and began to cry as if their hearts were broken as well as the 1 bottle. People passing looked at them sympatheically, but nobody did any thing until the door of the drug store opened and the druggist came out. He
 asked the children some questions anG they told him how terribly their moth
 CT would scold, and the one who had fallen said she would not be able to gC out for days and days as punishment The druggist talked a while in too low
 a tone for me to hear and then pick. ed up the smashed bottle and went il
 with it. When he came out of the stort again he had a new bottle in his hand just like the old one, and he told thu
 child to put it in the box and keel still about the accident. The childreI

duck to water and endeavored to again become the head of the Cuban govern ment against the candidacy of zayas. The latter was elected, although irregp- lariites were claimed and efforts made to have this country demand new cleo tion. Where conditions warranted it in certain districts a new election Was held but the Gomez followers stayed away from the polls. It was for the pur~ pose of getting his personal views be- fore this government that he came here but his efforts resulted in nothing.
 Gomez succeeded in identifying him self prominently with Cuban affairs even though it involved difficulties and im- prisonment and as such he is bound to be accorded due recognition in connec- tion with Cuban history
