TELL THE WHOLE EXPENSE
STORY

in connection with the debate OF gov
ernors concerning the proposed st. Law
renee canal It win be interesting to note
what attention Is given to the insistence
OF the governor OF New York that there
should be thorough congressional in
quiry as to the costs involved before
action is taken upon this important
matter. Governor Miller has been CON
sistently opposed to the building Of the
canal and has advanced sound reasons
why there may well be greater atten-
ton given to the development of trans
portation facilities within this country
before there is a hugo outlay authorized
for the building Of an improved wa
terway through Canada.
But before any decision is reached as
to whether this country should expend
what it win be expected to as its share
involved in the project ought to be
known The engineers who have Inves-
tigated and reported favoraby upon the
project have given the initial cost. That
Is the amount upon which emphasis is
placed in order to get the work started,
but IL the initial cost is going to be
only a small part Of what will be re-
quired to make the waterway accom-
plish what IS desired, It should be
known before It Is stated and not &c
about it with closed eyes, only to awake
when the first appropriation is exhaust
ed and the job IS only half finished and
come to the realization that we have
put so much money into it that it would
be unwise not TO see It through wheth-
er we go into It or not the full facts
ought to be known.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK

1.-THE cffectual, fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much, Jas. D.
is. 1t is only when we learn how to
prevail with God we can prevail with
man. There are some things which we
are convinced do not avail in the
work of God. Oratory does not avail
much it may on the philosophical
platform but not in the pulpit; con-
verts by personality do not abide; con-
verts by the Holy Spirit do abide.
TIM power of the purse does not
avail; the church is crying for money;
all the money that all the millionaires
of earth have will not make this ma
chine go without the power which
God alone can give. What q marvel
Gus lot Of machines we have Every
conference suggests new bit and all
the machinery we can bring into OPP
GRAFTON will only hinder instead Of
help Gods work, without prayer.
IF the condition were right the
church might be a mighty force to-
day. We lack power to arrest the
masses, the millions of people who
never enter the church. How many
will be unable to go on INDUCING in
sin because of a life testimony Of the
church of God, land at midnight Paul
and Silar prayed, and sang praise un-
to Go; and the prisoners heard them,
Acts, Is, rs. Those were the effectual
prayers that bring the answer: "Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?" There
is where the power must come to
awaken the slumbering mass, those
| that never enter the church. Why is II
that we have not power? God says Eye
/ have not because ye ask not
May we be ready to serve where
! God wants us to, back to the re-
' sources of prayer. We see that pray
er availeth much in the presence OF
/ the evils of the day, which are in
tangible evils, for I'VE wrestle moi
against flesh and blood but against
!. principalities and powers We are moi
fighting just with man, we are fight
ing with the forces that are dominat-
| ing these evils, and in the presence
/ of these evils, if We are seeking Il
/ get through them it will be through
effectuaL fervent prayer. The forces OF
darkness are not conquered by the in.
PRODUCTION of modern methods. They
are conquered by men who plead the
name of Jesus.
The church has never had a great
revival that was not wrought by pray.

THE NoRw1CH-wEsrFRLY troll

LEY.
From the time since the Norwich and
Westerly trolley road was built it has
been understood that there were provis-
ions in connection with the deeds OF
certain property obtained that it should
revert to the former owners in case the
line was not used for transportation
purposes. This is brought to light now
by the suit which has been brought by
the Hewitt heirs for the recovery Of
TIE land decided by the late Thomas
Hewitt to the trolley company because
OF the fact that cars are not being run
and service given to the public.
For a number Of months 1t has been
necessary TO stop the operation of the
greater part Of this cross country line
because of the fact that patronage was
not sufficient to make expenses. Like
wise has it been necessary to readjust
the schedule of service to Hallville from
this city for a similar reason, but hopes
have been held out that with the i'm
provement in conditions as means OF
decreasing operating expenses and the
installation Of one-man cars or one-nan
gasoline oars it would be possible to
keep the ZINE in operation and prevent
It from going to the junkman.
From time to time opposition has
arisen to the idea of abandoning the
service. During the part of the year
when travel is heavier than in winter
the line has shown better returns ever
with the heavy two-man cars. Thos;
going to the shore resorts of southeast
ern Connecticut or Rhode Island find il
Of great convenience and it is likewise
of no little value in making train con
hectiOns TO the east in these days o.
curtailed railroad schedules. AS al
aid to people desiring to reach this cit!
from points along its line it is of IN
| questioned value when in operation.
Recent intimations that service woult
be resumed have encouraged the belle
that the end was not yet and would no
| be reached until another effort had beer
| made under improved and more favor
able conditions. The suit for recover.
| of the property may bring new light il
regard to the prospects. There are n
reasons to believe but what the plain
lifts in the matter would prefer the con
tinuance Of the trolley line to the retur
Of the property.

gArTsFYTNo COLoHfHTA.

WITH the exchange Of ratihcations By
lhe UnlGsd States and Colombia there
eunss 20 an END the controversy that
has existed Tor a number OF years over
No claims Of the South American coun-
y because Of the manner in which Ger
tain steps were taken in anticipation Of
the construction Of the Panama canal.
Il would always be possible to take
opposite view OF the matter. No matter
What was said in the way OF explana-
ton By thia country It would never be
possible 10 get Colombia to view It In
that light. They have considered the
aRair from their viewpoint and felt
hart They have been able to arouse
sorn essnttnent IN their behaK and the
longer the sore was allowed TO remain
unhealcd the more It could be pointed
as an Instance wherein the United
states was not living up 70 It's claims,
even though such could be sRtisfaccor-
~ reflted from our standpoint
We have not been willing to and We
have not admitted that We Nrehsed Co
iomba. We have taken recognition Of
Norwich bulletin., 1922-03-04

the fact that Colombia has shown its
resentment and Indicated It unwilling
ness to maintain friendly relations or
to encourage trade between the coun-
tries. The situation was one that it
was undesirable for this country to pro-
long, and while we stood steadfastly
against including in the treaty q, clause
TO the effect that an apoogy was ex-
tended to Colombia, which would Of
course have been an open admission Of
wrong doing, We have deemed it adj
visable to make q cash payment to the
soath American republic Of $4,000, 900,
to be paid in ave yearly instaiiments
for the purpose Of smoothing the way
for the resumption Of tsade relation
ships ana removing the barriers to the
entrance Of American capital into that
country for development PURPOSES.
Il is not to be supposed that conn
try can raise such a question hence-
forth, make a demand for recempense
and expect to have the United States
open up its treasury and pour out its
gold, but IN this case the desirabi1fty Of
ending the Ill viii shown appears to be
justified.

THE NAvr's FUEL.

JUST az the present time the economy
test Is being applied 70 the navy de-
partment. and as some seem 10 feel, In
vigorous manner that may mean the
saving % money butte at a sacrifice Of
efficiency. In the cutting down of ap-
preparations Il was figured that the
navy could get along with less fuel and
rs appropriation was cut. There was
a seven million dollar cut that It made
itseH and thereafter twelve and a half
million more were sliced Off. or about
az much as Il Is estimated would be re-
quired 20 pay for the fuel in keeping up
steam on the vessels n they never left
port.
Evidently the curtsiled appropriation
was made with the expectation that the
navy under present day conditions
would not be called upon TO use so much
coal or oil as il had been in the past
few years. that there were opportuni-
ties "a eut down the demands in this
respect and that it was expected that
The navy would meet the situation and
DO its best in curbing federal expendi-
lures. Just because It is possible 10
consume millions Of dollars worth Of
fuel when it IS not necessary doesn't
mean that It ought 90 be done just to
keep the vessels steaming up and down
the coast
It is not TO be supposed that any
economy move is intended to cripple the
ravy and 20 make il impossible to get
fuel Should occasion demand the send
Ing 81 shins 20 any point 1t is fully un-
derstood that they would be sent. that
TREY would have sufficient fuel and that
the fuel would be paid for. What The
aim is is 90 cut what is regarded as
waste in the navy department at a TIME
when uirces are high and when there j.

are being rnsda 20 meet the present day
conditions and 90 end what is open t.

NEW ENGLAND BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

Business in New England was APP
parently quieter during February than
for several months writes Frederic
H. Curtiss, Chairman of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Boston in monthly
review of industrial and financial con-
ditions in the New England district.
This slowing down is partly seasonal
but probably much of it Is more fun
damental.
One of the most adverse factors in
the situation Is the strike which start
ed in several of the cotton goods man
ufacturjng centers Of New England
a few weeks ago when the mill opera
tives refused to accept 20 per cent.
reduction in pay and, in some instances
a frightening of the working week
from 4S to 81 hours. In several of the
districts where there was no increase
in the number of hours, the workers
voted to accept the 20 per cent. wage
reduction, and continued to work. The
main objection in New Hampshire, for
instance, seemed to be to the longer
working week, Father than to the
wake reduction. Considering the large
number of workers involved in the
strike, ESTIMATED at approximas ely
$4,000, there has been very little dis
order. The wage reduction had been
foreseen for some time by both sides,
manufacturers claiming that it was
necessary in order that the northern
mills might compete with those Of the
south. This is the second general cut
that has been made in the cotton in
dustry of New England, the first oc-
curing in December, 1920 and
amounting to % IL per cent Even
with these two reductions, it is claim
ed that wages In this industry are
! nearly twice as high as they were be-
fore the war, although it is probable
that they were abnormaAy low foi
several years prior to 1014.
1t must be admitted that every
strike, just as every war, results in {
real economic loss, and therefore
should be avoided if it is possible tt
do so. On the other. hand, wages ant
commodity prices have experienced
such wide and violent fluotuatis MS
during the past few years that there
are many cases in which the wage
prevailing for a certain kind of worl
in one part of the country are incon
sistent with those paid in anothe
section, or where wages in one indus
try are quite out of line with tn

EDIBLE BAMBOO

The Japanese edible bamboo has
been successfully introduced into the
southern portion of the United States
by the Department of Agriculture.
Several plantations are now establish
ed in Georgia and Louisiana. Populari-
cation of the bamboo will furnish large
home grown supplies of this useful
timber required by our manufacturing
industries. The giant grass grows a
foot a day, and its 5O-foot stalk is
well adapted for making frames, fur
niture, ladders, trellises and barrel
hoops. The new sprout is a delicious
vegetable and resembles asparagus in
flavor and in the manner of it's prep

mand for the bamboo timber, and al
so for the edible bamboo shoot.-Ex-
