MORE FEpERAL JUDGES.

By it's action in providing for more than a score of new federal judges the senate has after a delay of several months recognized the justice of the ac- tion in the lower house of congress. By the senate authorizing four more judges than the house it becomes necessary for the bill to go to conference but there should be no difficulty in reaching an agreement upon such differences as exist and hastening it to the president for his approval
 Try as the democratic opponents would they could make little headway with the patronage claim. Had it been the case that the present corps of federal judges were disposing of the cases as fast as they were presented and keeping the dockets clear there would have been no justification for the creation of new judges, but such isn't the case. Not only are the courts so clogged at the present time with business that dockets are steadily growing larger rather than being cleared up, but it has become nee essary for certain of the judges to hold the equivalent of bargain day" sessions for the purpose of relieving the conges- tion, at which time small fines would be imposed as an encourag cement to pleas of guilty than quick disposition might be made of the business.
 Under such conditions it is plainly evi dent that the business of the courts iE not being conducted in a manner tha would impress one with the idea that law enforcement was being accomplished When conditions get to that state 1t i! but little better than q joke. When it i necessary to dispose of the business be fore federal courts in such 8 manner il is not only evident that the court ma chinery is not equal to the business bu that added equipment is needed. That i the view that was taken in asking 10 additional judges and that is the view o both houses of congress in providing fo the additions. Business before the court has been growing without adequate pro vision being made to take care of it.

UNDERSTAND THE NEW oHARrER.

The electors of the city of Norwich. regardless of party, cannot afford to dis regard the importance of informing. themselves upon the merits Of the city charter upon which they will be expected 10 vote at the June election. It is not a matter to be passed by without action. It should be read and understood by all the voters and when they go to the polls go with the idea of voting upon it, and not leaving it for a few to decide. Don't neglect it because it is an effort to get up to date.
 It is a matter of great importance to the city and the conduct of it's affairs that the instrument under which it does business should be in keeping with pres ent day conditions. Men who are thor oughly acquainted with the conditions in Norwich have given conscientious atten- tion 10 the provision of a charter that win meet the needs of the community today and overcome the handicaps that prevail in the existing charter, covered with amendments, but not revised for a half century.
 Unfortunately there is a disposition tc pay too little attention to such special matters on election day. At the recent election in Hartford there were severa projects involving the expenditure oi large auns of money which the voters were called upon to decide. All but onc of them were defeated, but only about one in four expressed their attitude upor them. thus leaving it to about a quarter of those voting to say whether the city should have the public improvements that were sought or whether they should be delayed until another and more propi tious time.
 The very fact that there have beer men of both parties who are thorough! in touch with the city government whC have agreed upon a new charter to mee the situation here today and permit O a more efficient government should mak' a strong appeal iR favor of ratification Nevertheless 1t is well that the advan tages which are to be gained by it, thu benefit that it will be to the community and the aid to those upon whom the re responsibilities of directing public affair will fall should be understood Study and discussion of the document and com parisons with handicaps that now exis should provide the light that will resul in the voters being prepared to vote up on 1t and, as 1t is believed being justi fed in voting favorably.

ARMENIA STILL NEEDS HELP.

How much longer it will be necessary 'o rut forth appeals in behalf of those who have been deprived of the means of sustenanCe or lack sufficient raiments to protect them against the ravages of a hard winter is uneXplainable. Help has been poured out to those that have suf- fered through the effects of the war and those whose plight can be attributed to the negligence or shortsighte of others. Millions have gone in money, foodstuffs and clothing for the relief of distress in different sections of Europe and to the near east. That millions of people. men, women and children, are alive today is due to the assistance that vas received from this country There has been a steady appeal for assistance In rendering this aid but there likewise has been the job of doing something for suffering humanity.

 Many think the gospel need to be more modern to suit the need of the times. The modern man Is, indeed. wonder, especially when we regard him as an inventor. is subduring the earth and bringing it into his service. But man as a sinncs and as sufferer is the same man that he ever was. He has found no invention to 1 improve things in this respect. Human nature Is the same thing, come upon | it where you will. There is not q per provements and he is borne to trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 1 Why should the old Gospel be re- ] vised? It's great truths are are the forgive ness Of sin and life everlasting through Jesus Christ. Shall we cut them out If we do, we give a man I stone who Is asking for bread. You cannot do this without fiinching, he will tell you, ''That is no Gospel" The great old doctrines must come back. The world must come, more l and more to face the cross of Christ Men are wearyins of the gos2el that l merely fiatters them; of a gospel of metaphysical platitudes and moral cognTTront Aace$ They are driry oi

rAYoRARLE INnICArIoNs.

There is of course International inter- est in the conference of fnancters in Eu- rope in regard to the matter of Mexico's indebtedness. The fact that the repub- lie to the south owes much money and has net been keeping up it's interest has made it difficult for it to undertake to se- cure more. funds which, are needed for it's advancement.
 Mexico owes considerable money. There are large government and railroad loans which have sizeable interest ac- counts remaining unpaid, but it is in Mexico's favor that 1t is willing to pay and the attitude of bankers is that when such disposition exists and there is a way of providing the security the diffi- culties in the way of refunding such ob- legations are decreased.
 Much is therefore expected of the con ference in Europe. Not only would it dc much to help straighten out the financial tangle in Mexico but it is not improba- ble that it would serve to strengthen the inclination on the part of this govern ment to hasten recognition. Progress, il would appear, is being made in that di- rection. Mexico being inclined to shoul- der it's debts and to satisfy its creditors creates g good imression. Conditions would thus appear to be showing i'm l provement there to such an extent thai it may yet realize the importance to it self of taking the necessary step of fur. nishing the guarantee which is expected by this country for the protection of the | life and property of subjects of other countries. It is certainly time that Mex
 ico began to get the benefit of construc
 tive legislative and industrial activity.

Willie's Haircut.
 Little Willie, who had long curls went to the barber to have them cut of. unknown to 2lis mother. Willie was very fond of friend of the family old enough to be his grandfather and when the barber asked the boy how he wish ed his hair cut he said:
 "I want 1t cut like Mr. Jones'"
 How is thstzr asked the barber

Tariff experts have declared that the general tariff bill which the coIn- rnittee on finance expects to report to the Senate within the next few days will be generally acceptable to New England interests writes T. $. Joslin in the Boston Transcript. They said that while the measure gives the agricultural West more protection than it ever has had before, it will make for prosperity in that section of the country and will give New England a better market for it's products than can be expected of the whole of Eu- rope under present conditions.
 Changes which the committed has made in the bill in the last few days have materially benefited New Eng land manufacturers. Since the first of the week several of the most i'm portant schedules, from the. point of view of eastern manufacturers, have been opened for reconsideration and duties have been increased in most instances. Numerbus revisfDns have been made in the compensatory para graphs.
 A question to which the committee 1 is still giving consideration is whether the duties shall be based on Arneri- can or foreign valuation The statement is made on the best of authority thai a majority of the committee favors American valuation, that Senator Shoot of Utah is standing practical 1 ly alone against it. A report has beer circulated that MT. SInoot will oppose the bill in the Senate if the comnitte' goes on record in favor of Americaf valuation. To eliminate the possibili- ty of his opposing the bill it is like ly that the measure will be based ol foreign valuation, in which event 1 is predicted the conference commit tee appointed to reconcile the differ ences between the House and Senatt will write modified form of Ameri can valuation into the act. The Hous stands firm at present for America1 valuation.
 During the last few days the com mittee has been trying to perfect tn phraseology of the bill and to adjus the rates. Information recently ob
 tained has jed the members to be lieve that important details have beei overlooked. The changes which parti cularly affect New England are tn duties placed upon raw materials an
 the necessary application of compen
 satory duties to products made o
 these materials. With regard, for ex . ample, to the duty on hides, whic

closed the door as he stepped back, leaving it open only an inch or two; but it was enough so that Alan heard him say to some one within:
 "He says he's him."
 Ask him in; will speak to him." It was a girls voice-this second one, a voice such as Alan never had heard before. It was low and soft but quite clear and distinct, with youthful, i'm pulsive modulations and the manner of accent which Alan knew must go with the sort of people who lived in houses like those on this street.
 The servant, obeying the voice, re- turned and opened wide the door.
 "Will you come in, sir?'
 Alan put down his suitcase on the stone porch the man made no move to pick it up and bring 1t in. Then Alan stepped into the hall face to face with the girl who had come from the big room on the right.
 She was quite a young girl-not over twenty-one or twenty-two, Alan judged;. like girls brought up in wealthy families, she seemed to Alan to have gained young womanhOod in far greater degree in some respects than the girls he knew, while, at the same time, in other ways, she retained more than they some characteristics of a child. Her slender figure had woman's assurance and grace; her soft brown hair was dressed like a woman's; her gray eyes had the open directness of the girl. Her face smoothly oval, with straight brows and a skin so delicate that at the temples the veins showed dimly blue was at once womanly and youthful; !; and there was something altogether nkable and simple about her, as she studied Alan now. She was slightly pale, he noticed, and there were lines of strain and trouble about her eyes

 "I know" she answered. "We had your telegram. Mir. Corvet was not here when 1t came, so my father opencI it." Her voice broke oddly, and he studied her in indeclsion, won- dering who that father might be that opened MT. Corvet's telegrams.@
 ''Mr. -Corvet went away very sud- denly" she explained. She seemed, he thought to be trying to make some thing plain to him which might be shock to him; yet herself to be un- certain what the nature of that shock might be. Her look was scrutinizing, questioning. anxious, but not un- friendly. After he had written you and something else had happened I think-to alarm my father about him, father came here to his house to look after him. He thought some thing might have happened to MT.
