JITNEY LICENsFs.

There are those about the state who are disappointed in the decision of the public utilities commission because it has Seen fit 10 deny the applicants for jit- hey licenses the right to do business in competition with established transporta- ion lines where public eonvenieneg does aot require the added Service. Under tbe law by which it is required that jitneys must he licensed provision is made for sn appeal to the courts from decisions of the commission and it is probable hat such action will be taken in some Instances. That is the logical course 10 pursue since 1t might as well be d4- ,srmif1ed nov as any other time whether he disappointed jitney applicants really aave ,a just grievance.
 Not all Applicants have been turnsd town. There are those Who have sought "a serve territory which is not accom. nodsted by trolley lines In such cases licenses have been granted and route. aSsd It is where it is found that inc jitnsys do an injustice to established transportation lines, and where the bub. lie can be adequately taken care of bS existing lines that the commission has turned them down.
 It vas because the electric roads were not receiving fair treatment under tht unjust competition to which they wer, oeinE subjected by the jitneys that action vas sought and taken in tbk s61Ers, assembly, designating the jitneys as com mon carriers and thereby placing then under the control of the utilities com. mission. The injustice to the roads val perfectly evident, the remedy was ap piled by the legislature and the publi, utilities commission is engaged under the state law in putting an end to in. Justice and insuring s dependable trans 7ortstion service to the people of Con aectieut and jitneys should carry the re 1uired license after Friday the 18th o erpect to take the consequences

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

General Wood and W. Cameron Forbes who have been spending a number of weeks in the Philippines for the purpose of investigating conditions with a view to reporting on the advisability of ex- tending immediate freedom to the islands are neariak the end of their survey. They have been covering all the different provinces, seeing the conditions and sounding sentiment upon which to base their report.
 What that report will be no one knows. They have encountered senti- mert favorable to independence and they have found those who Were opposed to any chanEG that Would free thk islands from the e6ntf5i 6f the United States. Int e are those who have been carrying on an active propaganda in behalf of independence, but whether they repre- sent the majority of the Filipino popula- tioh will probably be revealed by the in vestigators' report. That there is strong sentiment against independence would indicate that they do not. Just what bearing the financial condition of the national bank in the islands will have upon the report is uncertain but it shows what has taken place even under Ameri- can control. If there was no such su- pervision there is no telling what the sit nation might be. There are, however, so many of the island republics whose finances have thrown them on the verge of bankruptcy and left them at the mer- cy of foreign nations that the example
 n the Philippines needs to be given care- fd consideration. And the fzzle that has occurred in other republics ought not to be repeated in the Pacific posses sions.
 There IS a responsibility in the Philip pines which this country would benefit by if it were relinquished. but it would be folly to cast them adrift only to be forced to step in there again and to un- dertake to strsighten out the chaotic conditions that, from the experience of others, it is not unjust to anticipate. Al the present time the islands are far bet ter cared for than they could be under self government and it is for their in. terests that they should remain in thai condition until il is established without douSt that .paependenee would not bt fnlstaR whether the report will take such a view will probably be disclosed before long

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fav6rs Idea ReSardinr Police

MT. Editor: It is with interest that I read of the suggested restricted age at which patrolman may be selected, older.
 I firmly believe that this idea is on proper lines, as most everyone is aware of the fact that man thirty-ive years or younger is much more active, and if1- clined to be in better health than an older man.
 Then again, we must look ahead, and consider that patrolman is steadily growing older, and in time will be due for a pension, and the older a man starts on the force, the sooner he will be entitled to a pension, which in turn means an additional tax.
 I sincerely hope that this subject will be given proper consideration by the court of common council, and matters Sd arranged that after man has attained the age of thirty-five he will not bk eligible to be engaged as a patrolman oii the police force of Norwich
 1 also think that no patrolman or of ffcer should be ei5titled to a pension un- less he has been active on the police force of Norwich for a specified number of years .(say twenty yeafs), which De. rtod should be determined by a resolution of the court of common council, takfre into consideration of course any unusual cases where q pStrolTnan may be inca pacitated through doing his proper duties Very truly,

Mind Marks the Face

It is a matter of common observa- tion that husbands and wives in the course of years very frequently come to resemble each other physically and that the growing harmony in, their views and habits of thought expresses itself in their physical features says pr. Alfred Gradenwitz in the Frank furter Zeitung
 Another fact which no one will dis pQte is that the form and expression | of a countenance reflect the charact- CT and the life history of it's possessof. This is something that cannot be ex- Blained, except that assuming either that our mental habits arc the product of our faces or that our mental habits stamp themselves on our faces.
 4 third fact of this kind is the com mon observation that people engaged in certain vacations, and members of certain religious sects and social caste often resemble each other physically tc striking degree. Similar pursuits calling into play similar thoughts are

toHRAGING REsPoNsEs-

enat favorable replies are being re- seived from nations to which President Harding's note was addressed is in ac- cord with expectations and in keeping with intimstions which had been previ- ousiy made. The cheers in the British parliament when Lloyd George an nounced the receipt of the invitation with the utmost pleasure revealed the senti- ment of that country, word to the effect that France will accept and that there Is strong sentiment in it's favor in Ja- pan furnish unmistakable evidence that the conference will be called. The first steps are meeting with such encouraging results, the subject is one which makes such an appeal to the countries ad- dressed and the mention of some of the leading men of Europe as the probable representatives to attend the conference all indicate the importance of the Uuder- taking and the apparent sincerity with which the countries will participate.
 There is a feeling that the conference, including as it will the nations num- bered in the council of the league of ma tons, will be the means of whipping into shape the much talked of association of nations as the successor to the league. Certainly there would Be the opportunity 10 feel out the attitude of the nations and under an association there could be accomplished the much desired inclusion of the United States.
 It is true that the disarmament ques- ton is a big one in itself and one that may not be settled in minute. If the .-rnv se well as tbk navy is to bS ir cluded it can be Expected that France will have ground for insisting upon in- surfing its security. The questions in volved in the Pacific are of great inn portance, in fact of sufficient importance to be made subject for separate con- alteration but for the fact that they in- volve to a greater or less degree the question of armament It is not uh- wise therefore that they should be taken 1p at the same time so far as it IS poS- sible and endeavor to get thorough un- ierstAnding regarding future conduct.
