There is altogether too much- illegal liquor selling being done in Norwalk, and steps should be taken to bring these violators up with a round turn. It is hardly fair, to compel one man to _ pay a license fee of 8450 and allow an- other to sell without let or hindrance. It is by the hardest kind of work that these violators of the law are detected and convicted when brought into court, ‘ and it should be the duty of all law- abiding citizens to assist the police and prosecuting attorney to detect and break up these joints. Disgusting Journalism. The account of Wednesday night’s murder in East- Norwalk as published in the local papers last evening, was the latest exhibition of disgusting fake journalism. The description of “a young and pretty Italian woman,” who . “died fighting for her honor,” Was worthy of the brain of a fakir whore sense of decency had been dulled by “dope.”~ His description of the woman arrest- ed, who “spent a nervous night in the lockup with her dead friend,” was also as disgusting as it was untrue. Such loathsome fakes are a disgrace to the town, but worthy of the “young journalism” recently inaugurated here in Noswalk. IO. A Greater Norwalk. The mystery surrounding the murder of the unknown Italian women in East Norwalk, Wednesday night, will prob- ably never be unraveled. The South Norwalk police headed by Chief Voll: mer have. been untiring in their efforts.» to discover the murderer. UonstabigJ, J.GoodWin and City Marshfl’yaul have ’4. also rendered cesium; in the case. From Westpox/oonstabie Allen. has glen-w .king day and night, but a: as can be learned not a con- stable from this end of the town has 0 made an effort to assist in working out' the mystery. Were the three Norwalks combined in one with an efficient police force under one head, the murderer would probibly have been discovered and placed behind the’bars ere this. Oh, in a greater Norwalk. ‘0' Ready for the Executive. It is doubtless true that many a good citizen of the United States to-day, who cantributes very materially to the com- mon weal and the common wealth of his neighborhood, was unable to read or write any language when he first set foot on these shores; it is equally true and more easily demonstrable that illil- erate immigrants are largely responsi- ble for the marked increase in the number and variety of crime in recent years, and thus entail a tremendous ex- penseupou almost every State, county and incorporated town in the country, to saynothing of the manner in which they constantly menace the moral wel- fare of the people. Wednesday’s action .bv the Senate in placing a check upon the immigration of illiterates and other objectionable foreigners is, therefore, in line with the most enlightened and patriotic sentiment of the country, which has for years been calling for re- strictive legislation of this sort. ' _ ' The bill now lacks only the Executive signature to make it the law of the land, and it is hardly presumable that the President will ml: the closing record of his administration by interposing his veto. Possible justification for . such a course might be found in the narrow zemrgin of votes by which the measure yxaflsed the Senate, but the upper branch of Con :i‘ees can no longer be relied up- on to refi:ct popular sentiment so di- rectly, unmistakably and overwhelm- inzly‘ as the House does. No actual hardship or injustice can he inflicted by this measure. Any in- tending immigrant who will be shut «at by it, and who cannot he coached to comply with its provisions within a few weeks or months, would not the population of the United States. If any philanthropic .st’eamship cempany or land agency desires to engage in the work of foreign education the field is - Nobody wrll protest. ——.Live Merchants' keep their names hetore'the Public.

There is a large b0 1y of bolters in Nor walk and vicinity. The movement has been gaining force for some time and has become so powerful that those interested are anxious to declare themselves, They are bolting ancient and useless methods of treating catarrh and hay fever, and they have come out in full force for California Catarrh Cure, because they have tried it and know its worth. Here are words from a Norwalk man who has tried many medicines and treatments before he got what he wanted in California Catarrh Cure, the greatest and only known cure for catarrh: Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street, Nor- walk, says: “I have been a great sufl‘erer from catarrh for over thirty years, hav- ing contracted the disease during the war. My whole head seemed full of scabs, and the discharge from the nose ahd into the throat was something awful. My head ached almost continually, and I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro- cured a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk. It has given me more relief than I have had for years; my head is very much im- proved and I can now sleep all night. It is certainly a great reliever, and I am glad to recommend it. Nothing among all the things I tried before helped me one quarter as much in months, as C. C. C. has in a few weeks.” You don’t have to wait to find out if it Will help you, for it relieves‘at once. ‘ To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use C. C. C. now, It is a sure preventive of this and all mucous diseases. Use it to break up your colds, and to prevent colds “hanging on.” Price, 50 cents; three times as much for one dollar. nus 15"“ ., ,..«-’"""eaurnici£n FOR — av ‘ 6ARDINER& ulresui. «w an K r.
