About twenty-five drum corps had been expected to c6fnA here, but there was 4 conflicting dafA with drum corps day at carnival ,n New Britain, which drew off to that city many of those who had been ex- pected to come here.
 Celebration of the day began with the parade at 2 o'clock from the Buckine. ham Memorial to Chelsea parade over the line of march along Main street and up Broadway to the parade. From the time the marchers started to form for the parade until late at night, the shriil notes of the flies and piccolos and the rattle of the drums resounded through the city and the bright colors of the uni formed members were to be seen every where around the center of the city. After luncheon served at 12.3O for the visitors by the chamber of com narce, the boys were ready for the pa- rade. Crowds filled the streets to see this novelty for Norwich, each corps with its drum major and in full anl- form.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
JAPAN's NEW PREMIER.

The accession of Admiral Baron Kato to the
premiership in Japan may be taken as assuring
the ratification of the Washington Conference
treaties. Baron Kato was Japan's leading spokes-
man at Washington. With whatever progresses
ions he entered the Conference, it will be adj
mitted by everybody that he displayed there a
marked spirit of Cancellation and high measure
of craftsmanship. He one Of the conspic-
uous influences for harmony and accommodation.
The new premier belongs to the powerful mill
tary class. He is, in sense, the father of the
modern japanese navy. Yet he is broad -visioned
enough to realize that Japans future will be more
secure under policy of concord and cooperation
with the Western Powers than it could be under
la policy like that of The two wartime ministrie,

sought to attain Japan's detectives by isolated ma

committee would be blow TO the regular republic

The Journal prints elsewhere in this issue
article dealing with the political situation under a
Santa Fe date line, from which it appears that Tie
republicans at least going into the forthcoming
campaign on a platform of economy. Governor Me-
chem having declared that "the next legislature
should adjust the expenditures to fit the revenues,
rather than follow the former custom of making
appropriations first and then scurrying around fran
tically to turn up the revenues"
The declaration OF the governor should meet
with the approval of every taxpayer. But what can
we expect from the legislature? Members Of that
body in the past have shown no particular dispose
ton to retrench. Like most politicians, they have
been liberal with money here and there apparently
with view of paying political debts or strengthen
ing their political fences instead OF trying to safe
guard the public interests. One of the first things
for the voters do then is to decide 10 vote for
candidates for the legislature who pledged to
economy--not economy that will embarrass the
state but thousands dollars could be Topped off
without interfering in the least with the proper
functoning of the administration.
The article states that roads and schools nave
been the mann targets of the advocates of retrench
ment AS the Journal pointed out recently, we do
not believe the people will sanction any reductions
in the appropriations for these two lines of activi
ties unless it is foand that there has been an actual
waste of money. The claim is made that some
holding extravaganza on the part OF anyone. III
funds have been "squandered," as has been charged
those responsible therefore will receive no sympathy
from U.S. But the idea Of returning to the $40
month school teacher. the one-room school mouse
and the other crude facilities which existed fifty
years ago. as some advocates of retrenchment would
have us do is all tommyrot Education, like every
thing else, has increased and we cannot expect 10
run our schools for the money they were run
even ten years ago.
The requirements for teachers are being maze
more stringent from year to year. Most any mid
dle-aged man or woman recall the time when
college graduate among the teachers was almost
unknown. Now in most all city and town schools
a college course of at least four years is required
and in the rural schools applicants for positions as
teachers must possess better qualifications than
they did in years gone by.
There has been too much of a disposition IN the
mast for public officials to regard their positions
as Snaps" In our opinion the time has arrived
for new deal in New Mexico politics. The voters
have the power to put men in office who are intel
ligent and possess the ability to run the state anu
county business in an efficient and economical
manner. Will they do 1t?

THE ORGANIZED MINORITY.

ing order.
Nary senator dissented when Senator King
asserted that these organized minorities come
congress and get nearly everything they want by
shaking the mailed fist" 1t is deplorable but
apparently we-authenticated, fact that 10 per cent
of legislation passed by state legislatures and con-
gress Is sponsored by an organized minority.
In truth realizes more thoroughly the
power of the organized minority than the practically
experienced average member OF congress who well
might vince under Senator Myers answer to CUES
ton that the remedy lies in "backboned public
men" In and out of legislative halls the assertive-
ness groups and classes looking to the exercise
of invisible government is constant.
more feasible remedy than that of the ind'-
vdual backboned public official might be the or
ganization, for change Of the great majority OF
the American people which has no selfish interest
but which wants to see the government run on con-
stitutfonal principles for the good of all and the
nrotection of all in their fundamental rights, afd
not for classes and 'sms." Were this mighty rut
latent power really organized it would at least pro-
duce in legislative affairs something that would
have the effect of backbone, even if it was some
thing else.
