 A systematic campaign is under way in Brooklyn to enroll new citi- zens. Judge Cropsey will sit prac- tically all summer in the naturaliza- tion court and under present arrange ments will turn out daily average of 500 citizens
 All told it is estimated that in Greater New York there will have been added by the end of October enough new voters to increase the nations electorate by at least so,- 900.

Odd Situation
 On Transportation

Warsaw, July 25-Russia's trans portation difficulties, because of the general deterioration of the railroads under the Bolshevik regime, accord ing to Moscow reports, have brought about an odd situation. While south ern Russia has a surplus of corn and has been endeavoring to report it to Italy, northern Russia has been buy ing the same kind of grain from for eign countries.
 The railroad situation is said to be particularly bad in central Russia and only recently it was reported that the service between Moscow and Kiev had been reduced to average of one train week for freight and pass engers.
 Russias metal production is report ed to have reached but two percent. of the pre-war figures, the coal pro- duction about 20 per cent. and the oil production 40 per cent.

Delaney Fought
 For More Money For Relief Work

About 300 men, employed by the Department of charities, met Satur- day afternoon to protest against the short working week now prevailing under the present schedule. The Alexander L. Delaney.
 Frank Belforte, a foreman, acted as chairman. and introduced other Thorne and Samuel Lavit. former labor organizer. Delaney told of his experience toward getting measures through the legislature that would have given Bridgeport great deal have given rehef to the unemployed at this time.
 His address was largely a criticism of the present administration. He told of delegations going to Hartford early in the session requesting bonds for the following purposes: S365, 900 for a new East Washington avenue bridge; $234,0e0 to pay outstanding bills for the Grand street bridge; s5OO,000 charity bond issue. In 1915 for 1917 the legislature granted S275,oo0 to build the Washington ave nue bridge, which was never built al- though most of the money has been spent, MT. Delaney declares. He said he would guarantee to build it for s250,oo0 and make a big profit on it.
 Regarding the s5oo,ooo as a char
 
 tion, Senator Delaney said he told the delegation that the Board of Fi- nance refused to grant the money under any circumstances if the funds were to be spent by the local admin istration.
 Delaney told of his battle to get a bill through for relief of the deplor- able condition of the school system of the city, and of his surprise when Thorpe first made him -acquainted with the etreme seriousness of inc local conditions He promised dur ing his address to do all that he could to relieve conditions
 Bedforte read a proposition to the men that he intended to place before the commission The proposition was short and to the point, being in two sections.
 l. Every man, citizen or otherwise. to be given a full weeks work. 2. The pay for each man to be ss.0 per day for week of five days $500 a day for foremen, and S4.OO per day for clerks.
 Samuel Lavit was the closing speak CT and told of a proposed parade ot the unemployed to be held wednes- day.

 So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bowel action you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them You should choose some we'll known, time tested, trial proven remedy, that has made it's reputation by being used for many years, by all sorts of people, all over the world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham's is a household word, has been for many generations Beech am's Pills is household remedy, has been forever half a century. People not only take Beecham's but recom- mend Beecham's to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism of Beecham's? Isn't that pretty powerful endorse ment of their worth? Druggists are glad to sell Beecham's.

Too Much
"Thank You"

We honestly believe that In the
matter of doing things for a mere
thank you" the weekly newspapers
of this country hold the record. We
say 1t with no desire to discriminate
for we believe people are no different
from those to be found elsewhere, but
we feel that on reflection they will
agree it is true, that for the number
of favors rendered no other institution
is as poorly paid as the newspaper
The church has a bazarr, the school
has a concert, a club brings a paid
speaker or musician to town and does
SO to make money, and yet In almost
every instance the newspaper is called
on to announce the date, boost the at
traction, get out the crowd-and then
be satisfied with free ticket And
often, very often, the promoters over
look even the free ticket.
1t is hard for some people to under
stand that about all a newspaper has
to sell is its space, or at least that
l)art of its space not devoted to actual
news happenings. If 1t gives away its
space where is 1t going to get money
for more white paper, more ink. more
type-for type wears out-and for
rent and heat and light and the scores
of other things that it is forced to pay
out good money for? They wouldn't t
go to the merchant and say We're 60
ing to hold a bazaar to make some
money; give us some Of your goods to
sell that night" Yet they say to the
editor: Were going to hold bazaar,
give us your advertising space so we
can get crowd that will spend Its
money" And yet there's no differ
ence.
The newspapers are here to boost
every worthy institution--and this
one expects to keep on doing 1t. But
we wish we could make everyone see
that it takes money to run a news
paper Just the same as 1t does any
thing else.
