WHY X TREATY.

When William J. Bryan was secre- Iary of state in the first Wilson ad- ministration he negotiated the pres ent treaty with Nicaragua.
 The treaty as originally drawn uE provided for armed intervention by the United States if conditions war ranted it.
 The willy Senate, however, before passing upon the treaty, carefully deleted all this armed force inter- vention business. The treaty as finally ratified was a mere treaty minus all such cntangling clauses.
 The opportunity came this year to look up conditions in Nicaragua Did the worthy state department first read the Bryan treaty 10 deter mine exactly what could be done un- der the circumstances?
 Probably not. The state depart ment went at il just in the way the original Bryan treaty would have specified.
 In other words, what the Senate did about the Nicaraguan treaty has had as much effect as faded ink on q scrap of paper.

"YOI NOW ARE IN"

Plainville's chamber of commerce, in common with such organizations generally, is intent upon boosting the town: and in order 10 make it's boost seen by the passing motorist a large sign is to be erected in the town. said sign to notify strangers where they are at and the glories and attractions incident to their fortunate temporary location.
 This is a system of town boosting that has worked in innumerable cities. As rule the passing motor- ist appreciates the kind attention, as the average person delights in having his whereabouts brought to his attention. along with such infor- nation as the town authorities care to provide.
 Plainville thinks much of the mo- lDIlSlS IliSslilS luIUuS II illC lpN II dIi is going to treat them right. No longer will it be necessary for any of them to halt and ask pedestri- an the name of the town, and how far it is from New Britain. In fu- ture, that is by next summer, he at least will be able to gather from the artistic information gratuitously pro- vided that he is in Plainville, the town where Governor Trumbul lives and labors when he is not ayating or in Hartford.
 Sad 10 relate. Plainville will be ahead of New Britain in this matter. If it were not for private enter priscs, there would be no signs near New Britain at all calling attention 10 the proximity of the hardware city.

PEAK OF SOUTHERN COMPETITION

When the president of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers declares that the peak has been reached in the migration of cotton mills from the north to the south and that competition in the south has become so severe that the manufacturers there are in an un- happy state of mind, the country and especially New England, will care to listen.
 The outcome in the south. accord ing to William E. MacColl, is due entirely to the fact that the indus try has been plunging ahead without proper statistics as to production. consumption and stocks of goods on hand: and no matter how favorable the location may be profits cannot accrue without adequate knowledge fo the market.
 The southern mills, therefore, are proving 10 the commercial world that an unsatisfactory textile situa- ton is not indigenous 10 New tmS- land alone; that oyer-prod and out-throat competition between southern mills spells just as much discontent in the south as it does elsewhere.
 The national president Of the cot ton manufacturers it must be added, takes in a broader sweep than the mills in the north and the south; he includes England, France and other European nations in the suggestion that the worlds entire textile in 'ustry has reached state of 'in- lustrial maturity and needs q complete ovorhauing and rehabili,a- tion."
 The use of statistics in lbc cotton industry IS beginning to be a factor in the rehabilitation. in most other industries a familiarity with "card index figures" and the wealth of in formation tending to illustrate the facts Of an industry as q whole, has proven its worth. The textile in 1ustry is beginning 10 do!vc in trade research and investigation. and the ensuing information no doubt will tend to return the industry upon a strata of general prosperity.

 Q. What is Chinook?
 4. Chinook is a warm dry wind encountered on the leeward side of mountain ranges. It is common in the Rocky mountains, and in Switzerland, where it is known as Foehn. As the air rises on the windward side of the mountain 1t expands. cools and loses it's mois- ture with the decrease in pressure. This dry. cool wind. as it descends on the leeward side of the range, regains it's heat through the con- traction due to increased pressure. The high temperatures are con- fined to the valleys and occur in streaks or pockets. so that a traveller passes suddenly from a very warm to very cold atmos- phere.
 Q. What Is the "Grandfather Clause" in the Constitution of some southern states?
 A. This is a constitutional pro- vision in which a mans right to vote is based upon the status of his ancestors. II was formerly used in four of the Southern states as a means of permitting illiterate white men 10 vote while denying the right to negroes. The grandfather clause was declared unconstitutional in 1914 because, while there was no mention of race, color of previous condition of servitude, the effect of the clause was 10 disfranchise the descendants of former slaves.
 Q. Does American independence date from July 4tb 1776 or from the signing of the Treaty of Paris that formally closed the Revolution ary war. September 2, 17S1?
 A. American Independence dates from July 4. 1776. the day We de- clared our independence from Eng land. From that date, all depend- ence on the government of England ceased. The war which followed and the gradual recognition of our new government on the part of other nations were the necessary conse- quences. But the independence came with the official declaration of the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.

ARCH STREET

AS was to have been expected, property owners on the east side of Arch street showed no opposition to widening the street. The hearing at the public works board was a spe- ces of love feast. with nothing but laudatory remarks in connection with the proposed widening of the street.
 One hears less about the great things in store for Arch street than was the case year ago, when every thing from a bulbs -spangled arch to an electrical great white way was confidently whispered by boosters. Gone are those days of talkative splendor; in their place has come a period of action. Improvements made upon Arch street during recent months have been notable, and the NlueHlHS Ol tie SietL VIII bC lhe climax of these efforts.
 The wish to make Arch street rival West Main street perhaps is more of q dream than a probability. But there is scarcely any doubt that the street can, with very little addition al effort, be made to look much more important from a business standpoint than so far has been the case. What happens depends entirely upon the enterprise Of the property owners. as in the last analysis they the public half way.

DAY OF RAILROAD MERGERS NEAR

The first big merger since the Nickel Plate affair showed the ten dency Of the times comes from the northwest. where the Great North ern and the Northern Pacific are due to be united. Several decades ago there was famous decision of the supreme court relative 10 mergers of these roads, the Northern Sccuri- ties case, in which the court held that the merger could not take place. SiGce that time however, conditions have changed, and through the op- cration Of the Interstate Commerce Commission. which oversees not only the mergers but also the issue of new securities which invariably accompany such things. the public interest is aptly conserved.
 In truth, we are trying 10 force mergers rather than prevent them. It is the railroads themselves which have "gone slow" in the mergering process, after receiving every en- oourasemcnt from the l. C. C. The issue. of course, is what railroads should merge, the authorities nam ing certain systems for mergers while some of the roads involved prefer 10 link up with other systems. After the present Congress is through with its session more of the railroads which have been quietly nursing merger plans are likely to be heard from.
 Now England is interested in one of the mergers which directly af- fleets New Britain, as well as the other cities along the branch line between Poughkeepsie and Hartford This merger has to do with inc fc- high & New E. land, which is 10 hecopte part of tn. adinS system As coal line direc iy from the coal

STATION WILKIE! Innd Tn By Arnold F. Bauman)

Andy Ames, the crudite notary public and fertilizer salesman of Squash Corners. tore five leaves oil his calendar and brought it up to date.
 Did you hear about Lem Poodel- yipe's boy Wilkie?
 "Gosh. They thought for long time Wilkie was out of his mind bats in his nobody-home, so to speak.
 "Along back in 1912 he started hearing buzzings. He'd try 10 de- scribe them, how they went faster and faster and slower, something like a telegraph machine.
 "Everybody figured he was harm less and they didn't pay no atten- ton.
 "Thnn. along about four or five years ago. he started telling how he heard music. Nobody else heard it, so they didn't pay any attenltno' Every once in a while he'd jump LID out of his chair and say, Dang that whistling. It souhas Ike Il comes from he'll.
 "There was no whistling going on, so people just shook their heads and wondered how long it would be be- fore they'd have to take him to pro- bate court.
 'Then Wilkie began hearing voices. People got worried then. Generally. when somebody hears voices he's about ready to Kill off his family with an axe.
 And one night he told every body about a speech President Cool idgc was making and they all laughed, but danged if it didn't turn up in the paper next day that tho boy was right People began tC think there was a prophet in their midst.
 Last night he heard Jeff Hoof- heister's radio for the first time and he jumped like a snake had bi' him and said, That's il"
 That boy has a complete radio set inside his head. That's whats been the trouble with him all this time. The buzzing he heard was code and the whistling was static. Pass the cider.

Long live the queen. Long indeed, for word from Brussels has been to the effect that she survived to this day. and for more than half a century lived the life of a recluse upon an estate owned by the Belgian crown near Brussels. coming to her end only two days ago.
 And what dream of empire that was. back in the sos, when the armies of the United States were too much occupied for four bloody years 10 yield attention 70 the violation Of the Monroe Doctrine.
 What an opportunity for an am- bitious couple. an ambitious emper- CT. Mexico in turmoil: the United States in greater turmoil. An empire in Mexico could be, erected with a European army, if only the Civil War in the United States lasted long enough to permit the enterprise be- ing firmly established. Then, per haps, exhausted and hamstrung, the United States would think twice be- fore attempting 10 oust any Euro pean monarchy from the American continent.
 It was the Empress Charlotte, then q girl of IT. who herself made the final decision for her husband to &C., cept the proffer of becoming king of Mexico-so, at least, the story runs. Maximilan had his doubts; but the aueen-the empress-was of more adventurous spirit. Then the die was cast and off to Mexico went the honeymooning couple.
 Fate played one of it's ineXtricable tricks at this juncture. The war in the United States ended. and Napo- leon II, head of the French. needed some stirring remarks made in Washington. The Monroe Doctrine would be preserved at all costs, it was announced: and as the United States had the greatest military ma chine in history up to that time at it's disposal-men who had been hardened by four years of struggle -there was no denying the impos- sibility of maintaining the elusive Mexican empire" Napoleon ordered his soldiers to make quick exit, the empress also left for personal pleading in Europe, and MaXimilian. a. little slow to get out of the coun- try, met his death at the hands Of a firing squad of McXicans.
 Thus ended the Mexican adven- ture. But the Empress of Mexico still lived. An aunt of King Albert of Belgium. she lived the life Of a recluse until her death. Some thought her mad for time, but there was no official evidence 10 this effect.
 An unhappy queen. one in name only. Millions of unknown women, not queens and not expresses, have lived and died since the tragic end of the Mexican adventure and were rappier. Had this maid of q roIAl family been born subject instead Of princess her life would have been on par with ordinary happy wom- anllind.
