borhood. That part of the Battle Grounds which is now available for the showing of carnfrals is so small that the earniva, tents extend onto tiAe side walks and we canhardly walk up the street without falling over seme of their trappings
 We know, of course, that the carnivals are mostly for the benefit of some so- ciety, especially the Moose. Let the
 Moose have their carnivals if they want them, but why not give someone else the noise and nuisance for a changer?
 We have had them here on the Battle Grounes for three years, often one right after the other during the summer
 months, and we have put up with all the noise and nuisance that we care to. The most of the signers of our petition are
 taxpayers who have bought property here and tried to improve it. We want
 quiet, cultured neighborhood and we
 have spent money and effort to have one efforts in this respect, and we, as tax payers, consider that we have a right l to object. If the Booster and a few more | who agree with him (signers of the opposing petition). have no pride in their homes and neighborhood, it is no fault
 of ours.
 | If the Moose must have these ''ben- | eft shows, why not have something clean like the "ChautauQua." which is shown on the Academy campus every year, to which everyone can go for en- tertainment and amusement, instead of the cheap. sensational attractions and painted, half-nude women which always accompany these carnivals? No such carnivals as are shown here on the Eat. | tie Grounds would ever ID tolerated or the Academy campus or on Chelsea pa rade, and there Is no just reason whs we East-Siders should stand for ans I more than our uptown friends. Al long as entertainments of such low :. order continue to be shown in oul neighborhood we will continue to object
 and we have a. right to be heard. OBSERVER Norwich, Conn, July 5, 1922.

BEING FAIR WITH TBoLLEYs.

What appears to be determination to give the needed cooperation that will. permit the trolley lines to meet the ex-. pense of operation, get reasonable re- turn for the service rendered and to meet the requirements of the public in the way of service is disclosed by the action of the utilities commission in Rhode Js,- and where the 5ftneys have been elilri- mated.
 This does away with that unfair com petition that sprang up at a time when war conditions placed tremendous bur dens upon the trolley companies, and I. means that the electric lines are to be given a fair chance to do business a9d meet the transportation requirements of the public. It Is of course an attitude which is no more than ought to be ex- pected. Large outlays have been made in the way of equipment and large losses have been sustained In the rendition of service. Rhode Island trolieys have farad worse than those in Connecticut, for in addition to being unable to pay tAesr taxes the big lines have gone ind receivers hands.
 Once the facts regarding the trolley conditions were established it did not take the legislature of the neighborins state long to realize that the lines were entitled to help. Criticism had beer made of the service being rendered, but it was discernible that better service could not be expected as long as others were permitted to take away the cream of the trolley business.
 Rhode Island has come 10 the Eamt conclusion that other states have. I Is not a time to drive existing compan ] les to the wall and encourage othei means of transportation which is not a; satisfactory and which needlessly adds tt I the traffic of the streets. Improved ser vice Is to come from just such methods as are being employed in this state ana which are now adopted in Rhode Islant | and with the unfair competitors elimi mated there will be reason in the insist ence upon the Improvement of the ser 1 vice just as fast sts the trolley lines ar able through the patronage provided | accomplish 1t.

THE COAL CONFERENCE.

The country fs of course watching with keen interest the progress being made by the conferrncr of operators and miners called by President Harding for the pur- puEe of establishing a basis for the ne- Eotiafion Of the settlement of the coal ttriis.
 It is recognized of course that the coal industry is vital to national welfare. There "a great dependence placed upon it by industry and individual Coal as a fuel is necessary and when there is a stcppaEe ot production it means the working Of harm. sooner or later, through the shortage that is bound to re- suit
 The prics of coal has been at the top notch for a considerable period. and t is not surprising that there should be a popuiar demand for a decrease in the urice Co the comsumer Of this connTnodity quita the same as there is for reductions in othsr lines. Boosted to a high figure because Of the war conditions the user Of coal are naturally desirous of cheap. CT coal Thsy stand in the way to gel lone benefit through lowered freighi rates. but the peak of high wages. which lhs miners desire pushed even higherS fl one obstacle in the way.
 Up Co the present time there has beer D refusal of the operators to meet tht miners under the conditions which thu miners set forth. because there Is an un- rillinrness to dx a wage for coal min nr that would apply to all regions re tardisss Of conditions. The miners hav' rurrested a conference on the distric plan but the miners are unwilling t' rorfer on such a basis beeause thsl you'd not get the advantage that the, would under the other method. Ther are likewise legal and other condition which are involved. but the result of mn is that the consumer is being threat sned with a fuel shortage and it is tim lhat some consideration was given to tn man who pays the bills
 That is what is being undertaken b.

PROHIBITION IN EFFECT
FOR THREE YEARS NOW

Three years ago Saturday. on July l. 1e1s, the people of Connecticut, in com mon with the rest of the country. some 3oyfully, and others with mosstened eyes and saddened expressions, received the advent of countrywide bone dry" prohi- bition.
 Today, after three years of abuse and criticism on the one hand and continuous commendation on the other, the dry laws although showing the effects Of being the brunt of many attacks. still stand as the law of the land and the majority of the people. whether or not they are in sympathy with the abolition of strong beverages. have become recon- eiied to some extent, and stand for the enforcement of the law as long as it remains on the book.
 Up to a short time previous to July 1, 1e1e, the people of the country smiled at the efforts of the Anti-Saioon league or other reform organizations to have | the liquor prohibition law written in the | federal constitution. The idea of ban- ming liquor was absurd. they said Such a thing would be irnpossible< If even an attempt was made to prohibit liquor 1t was an utter failure. The masses of the people would rise in protest and force the return of alcoholic beverages Such remarks were common. They were to be heard on the street corners. ir public halls and. in fact, everywhere one went.
 The people whose opinions ran along i this line could not be confined to an, particular class or cult Of people. The, were to be found among the working
 people for the greater part. but the were also to be found in practically ever, other walk of fife.
 These people were greatly amused a the efforts of the reform organization They said: Let them go as far as the like. Let them carry on their propa eanda and besiege the legislators TO support of their ideals. Their efforts VII
 result in nothing. The people in congres
 will not be swayed by their arguments. And many other similar remarks wer
 to be heard.
 But while the "antis'' were laying bac ridiculins this campaign. the Antf-Saloo
 league and similar reform organization we're persistentIy and faithfully carryin
 on their campaign in the face of tn ridicule, and when they were finally viS ltorioug and wartime prohibition was pS l. into force at midnight of July l. thre

 That difficulty could hardly be antiei- pated in England where contests of skill and endurance are numerous.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Chautauqua

MT. Editor: It has been my privilege to attend Chautauqua in our city for the past three years. Each year I have had the pleasure of interesting many in the purchase of tickets and I have yet to find patron of mine who has not felt that he received good value for rhis money.
 Recently it was called to my attention that our townspeople are this year more conservative in their purchasing of tick cts for the course, but many are saying that they intend to buy single tickets. i am asking the liberty through your gen. erous columns to ask the question, do our citizens generally understand the financial difference between the purchase of single admission perhaps for five entertainments five as an example) and | the purchase of a course tickete This year five single admissions cost S3.75- a course ticket $3.
 Fifty people of our city, interested to give our citizens wholesome entertain- meht, not vaudeville, carnival and amuse- n1ent of light class, have pledged their i support and guarantee of $1.s00, or the sale of 500 course tickets to Chautauqua at $3 per ticket.
 A ticket is not limited to one persons !, use. One may use it in the afternoon another in the evening; eighteen enter tainmentS may be attended from this ont ticket. All of the $3 goes to meet thls guarantee of $500 which must be pail before the opening entertainment July I1th, course tickets being saleable there
 after. If five single admissions are pait by one party which has many, many times occurred, said s3.75 is all Chautau i qua's with no credit to our guarantors. Will our citizens show their apprecia tion of the efforts of the fifty guarantor
 and buy tickets. attend themselves o give to someone else and see Chautau qua go lover the top" Let it be Chau
 tauqua now and ever.
