This is iaruightedness. This man
is thinking for the best interest of
Norwolk. \Vo can say he is a bank-
' er and knows something about. sav-

That the situation is serious is
sho‘wn by the complaint made by
the rcsidwnts of North Taylor ave—
nue and further by the fact that
rural mull carriers were not able to
deliver their mail to every one yes-
terday. And it is a fact too. that
the post otllce department can de-
mand that the municipality keep
the roads in good repair for the de-
livery of mail.
‘ We hear daily of how the farmers
throughout the West have pros-
pered by good roads. Good roads
will help Norwaik prosper. Better
today than iivo years from now.
They will return more money than
is put into them.
Where is the man or the men to
start this movement for good roads
in Norwalk? It can be made an
issue .for all political parties.

Where Government Belongs,
(New Haven Journal Courier.)
The one question on the lips 01
the average citizen these days .‘s:
"How is one to account for the be-
havior of Congress? Is there no
remedy? Must we continue to em
dure indefinitely an indulgence in
muck raking with no thought what-
Dcan Brown of the Yale School oi
Religion appears to have conc ed
himself in an address delivered n-
day evening in Bridgeport at the
Community Forum of the United
Church of that city. He is reported
in part as follows in the news col-
umns of the Bridgeport Telegram:
"The good-people refuse to take a
responsible part in the government
of \the country. They are political
slackers. No one will make sacri-
fices for a good government sh they
want to be left alone. The result is
obvious. ‘ .0 ' If you want the
government of the peOple. for the
people. by the people. you will have
to arouse yourselves and meet the
responsibilities that go with such
things. The government is not in
Washington. It never was intended
to be. and would not be there if you
were not slackers and if the best
minded people considered politics
something finer than they seem to
be today. The government of the
country rests here and everywhere
where the people are. Say it with
deeds not words."
Isn‘t that exactly the trouble with
the country today. the unwilling.
ness of the people to attend their
own affairs and an overrcadincss to
“leave it to George?" The people
are more to blame than the politi-
cians. the great majority of whom.
as we have found in our experience.
are much more sinned against than
stoning. If they hive waxed strong—
er in power than the man on the
street approves. it is because the.
man on the street has left it to the
politicians to run the government.
Power begets the love of it. and the
most natural thing in the rorld is
for those given it without limita-
tions to use it according to their
own Judgment until they finally be-
come imbued with the idea that they
are the people and the government.
That is thesituation today in the
halls of Congress. The people
through their own fault are not re-
presented there and the government
they get In the government achieved
by the politicians. 5

“COMMON MEN"
Why is everything that is com-
mon contemptlble? .
\Nhy is common an expression of
contempt, and why are uncommon.
extraordinary and distinguished de-
notations of approbation? .
Arthur Schopenhauer, he whose
name ii: associated with studies in
pessimism. asks and answers these
questions.
"Common in its original mean-
therefore an” inherent pact of its
nature." he points out. "Accord-
ingly, if individual possesses
no qualiti beyond those which
attach o nkind in general, be
is a c mon man. Ordinary is a
much‘ milder word, and refers
to intellectual character: where-
as common has more of a moral
application.
“What value can a creature
have that is not a whit different
from millions of its kind? Mil-
lions, do I say? nay. an inilnitudc
of creatures which. century after
century. in never-ending iiow,
Nature sends bubbling up from her
inexhausiable springs: as generous
with them as the smith wit the
useless spark that fly sroun his
anvil. '
"It is obviously quite right
that a. creature which has no quali-
ties except those of the species
should have to confine its claim to
an existence entirely within the
limits of the species. and live a life
conditioned by those limits.
"that whilst s. lower animal posses-
ses nothing more than the generic
character of its species man is the
only being which can lay claim to
possess an individual character.
But in most men this individual
character comes to very little in
reality: and they may be almost all
ranged undcr'certnin classes. Their
thoughts and their desires, like their
faces. are those of the species. or
at any rate. those of the class to
which they belong: and accordingly
they are of a trivni. every-day, com-
mon character. and exist by the
thousand.
“You can usually tell beforehand
what they are likely to do and say.
They have no special stamp or mark
to distinguish them; they are like
manufactured goods, all of a piece.
'flf. then. their nature is merg-
ed in that of the species. how shall
their existence go beyond it? .The
curse cl vulgarity puts men on a.
par with the lower animals. by al-
lowing them none but a generic na-
ture. a generic form of existence.
“Anything that is high or great
or noble must then. as a matter of
course, and by its very nature.

better expression“ can be «hand to
denote what is base and contemtible
than that which I have mentioned
as inrgencrai use. namely. common."

this country chiefly for his acrld
essay on women. which too often is ,
taken in jest. The German was
