M W1NGTONS battle ox
THK AMLMIMKNT
The victory of Elmer W. I'apojgivo result no one can doubt what
over Miss Mary G. Wells as the Re- j M,e investing public of America
publican nominee for the legislature ! ;hiks of the market value ot pca!e.
In the town of Newlngton. tiirned ivrf,.jni,..ii j.-.u.
out iu ns a oatue in wiiicn a re
versal of four votes would have tied j
It and a reversal of five votes would i
have won for Miss Wells. j
Such a tight nomination indicates
that sentiment regarding the child;
labor amendment, the issue that !
brought out the big vote in Ncwing-1
ton, Is evenly divided; but the vote j
of Newlngton in the legislature will !
go against ratification ot the '
amendment just as effectively as if i
sentiment against the amendment j
were unanimous. j
The town of Newington has one j
representative in the legislature and j
is included in district representation
in the senate. Hs population Is but'
a fraction of that of the city of New
Britain, which has two representa
tives and one senator. Newington is
represented in the lower house to the
extent of half the city of New Brit
ain. In order to control the lower
house the state machine needs only
to control the representatives from i
. the small towns.
THi: MAIN ISVE AND
TWO PARTIKS
The foremost issue before the
American people is state's rights
versus "bureaucratic government'
according to the New York World,
i The World stresses the fact that
state's rights is primary Democratic
doctrine, while a centralized govern
ment is declared to bo 'Republican
doctrine.
But just by way of Indicating how
mixed modern politics are, the main
state's right contention just now
hinges about the ratification of the
proposed child labor amendment,
which the World has stoutly favofed.
Opponents of tho measure claim it
would Increase the powers of cen
tralized government, which of course
those who favor the amendment
claim is necessary to eliminate the
stigma of child labor in the United
States and is the only method of
bringing it abut.
The Democratic platform of the
state favors ratification of the
amendment, thus favoring additional
centralized powers. Republican news
papers arc favoring state's rights,
which the World rightly claims is
fundamental Democratic doctrine.
ZR-3 IS 1 OK PEACE
PURPOSES ONLY
The Zeppelin ZR-3, which success
fully concluded such a spectacular
flight across the Atlantic at Lake
hurst, N. J., cannot be used for mili
tary purposes. It is our vessel, but
we only can use it for commercial
purposes.
This is according to the condition
laid down by the council of ambas
sadors, who when awarding a ship
to us in 1921. expressly made this
Stipulation.
Most, certainly, we hope it will
never be necessary to use the vessel
for w-ar purposes; but in case a war
came, would we be bound by a con
dition laid down by this foreign
body? Or would we continue to re
fuse to be bound up by foreign en
tanglements and use our property in
any way we saw fit.
NEW ENGLAND LINES
NOT IX COMBINE
Dispatches which tell of the jour
ney of four railroad executives to
Washington to advise the interstate
commerce commission of conferences
that had been held with a view to
' Ward furthering the consolidation of
eiuBtern railroads into four large
Systems, virtually leave out of eon
alderation the possibility that the
Kew England roads might be includ
ed in such a scheme.
The original plan of the interstate
commerce commission was that nine
basic system should be created in
the east, but the recent consolida
tions of tho Vsn Sweringen brothers
has upset the plan, as they have an
nexed systems to the Rickel Plate

It is evident that railroad officials
regard as unlikely the prospect that
ell her tit Now York, Now Haven

What American bankers think of
tho stabilizing effect of the so-called
Europe was Indicated
i when the 1110.000,000 Issue of Ger
I
man loan bond
were greatly over-
scribed in the United States in leas
i than 16 minutes. After this I
country likewise was
snapped up
tjiiir-kly.
Americans would not have touched
the loan under conditions that
existed upon the European con
tlnent a year ago, or under condi
tions that would have made probable
another Ruhr upheaval. Americans
are willing to loan money to Ger
many for her stabilization because
a condition has been brought about
where the debtor is enabled to pay
back the money.
Quick subscription to the' loan in
America and England proves ihat
the investors of both countries' will
be pleased to see Germany get on
her feet through legitimate enter
prise. '
The loan is not the first instance
since the arfnistice of American
financial aid to Germany, as private
enterprise has been quite active in
assisting various Important indus-
tries.
SYNTHETIC SUNLIGHT
AND CHILDREN
And now, 'synthetic sunlight. Imi
tation sunlight is not warranted to
be as valuable as genuine sunlight,
but it is warranted to be better than
ordinary sunlight when passing
through window glass. So it is
learned from the University of
Maine, where experiments were
made with the co-operation of the
German Electric Co.
The experiments are said to have
proved that direct sunlight is far
i superior to indirect sunlight
through glass, and that children
who remain indoors, even though
there is plenty of sunlight flooding
j the rooms through the windows, are
not as healthy as those who see
much of the outdoors. This es
pecially is true in the winter time,
when there is a tendency to keep
children indoors on account of the
weather.
The experiment of producing ' ultra-violet
or health giving rays and
noting their effects upon chicks, not
only has practical scientific value,
but confirms the belief of a minority
ot mothers and a majority of medi
cal men who have advocated the
keeping of children outdoors as
much as possible, even in the dead
of winter. Of course, this has to be
achieved safely with warm clothing
and heavy coverings. Not only fresh
air, hut direct sunlight, has been
found of Inestimable benefit.
PRINCE SEES AMERICAN
KEY INDUSTRIES
The Prince of Wales teturncd to
the United States from western
Canada, was ushered through the
Chicago stock yards and through the
Ford plant in Detroit, and is en route
to dear ol' T.unnon via Toronto and
Montreal. Having returned to the
United Slates to view two "key in
dustries, " he no doubt added con
siderable practical information to his
general education.
The prince was the guest of Louis
F. Swift while in Chicago and of
Henry and Kdsel Ford while in De
troit. Times and conditions certainly
change. Before we entered the late
war, Mr. Swift's firm was one of the
most insistent of those in the United
States wjio wanted President Wilson
to take action against the activities
of the British navy in preventing
consignments ot meat being shipped
to Germany. There was big money
in supplying Germany with meat in
those days and the American pack
ers had no Idea to relinquish a good
market merely because one of the
belligerents opposed. Those uncer
tain days, howeter, and the harsh
things that were spoken and written
in Chicago about John Bull evidently
were entirely overlooked when the
prince was a guest there.
When tie was the guest of the
Fords the famous and historic peace
ship was no fit topic for onversa-

tho I'okln centrul government and
ttyappears that urt armistice 'has

The Chinese was has been hard
for western peoples to understand;
tho why and iho wherefore seemed
shrouded In' mystery. For several
years there virtually have been two
governments in China, howover, ths
northern government centering In

In Shanghai. In a general sense, it
can be taken for granted that the
two governments hsd to come to

ernments could not exist
indefinitely.
Of cirse, the l'ckin geWrnmeht
had tho advantage from the start,
The southern governinoiit was an
tagonistic to that of the north, tend,
cd to weaken the republic and mado
foreign aggression easier or more
likely.
Considering that the population
of China is estimated at 400,000,000,
the number of troops engaged In the
warfare between the rival military
commanders was pitifully small. We
read of armies running not much
higher than 10,000 to 20,000, al
though how many such "armies"
wore in the field seemed in doubL
There probably were not more than
100,000 men engaged on both sides,
and most of China probably went
along in the even tenor of its way
without bothering about the petty
war along the seacoast.
THE UNWRITTEN LAW
STILL SURVIVES
After having confessed to killing
Charles Blair, who whom she was
housekeeper, Mrs. Johanna Tell was
found not guilty by a jury at Mid
aietown. There was scarcely any
doubt as to what the verdict would
be, ss Mrs. Tell In her confession had
disclosed that she killed her employ
er In self-defense while he attempted
to force his attentions upon her.
A grand jury last spring had re
fused to Indict her, but another
grand Jury this fall made an indict
ment, which was unsigned, and she
was charged with manslaughter.
The trial appears to have been a
mere formality. Few people appear
to have considered it a likelihood
that Mrs. Tell would ever be made
to suffer for sn ct done in self
defense. 25 Years Ago Today

FINDS WAY OUT
French Premier Makes Proposals,
Which Satisfy State Workers Wbo
Demand Minimum Salary Rate.
Paris, Oct. 16. Premier Hcrriot
has found a way of satisfying the
demands ot the state functlonarils
for a minimum salary of 6,000
francs. The result was attained after
a conference attended by Finance
Minister Clementel, the president of
the finance committee of the cham
ber, of deputies, the reporters of the
senate and chamber budget commit
tees and other interested, parties,
lasting most-of yesterday afternoon
and last evening.
After studying the question from
every angle it was found possible to
adopt a scale of salaries rising from
6,000 to 40,000 francs without ex
ceeding the limits of the appropria
tion for that purpose in the budget.
Under the plan, provisional allow
ances for the high cost ot living
would be included in the salaries,
functionaries who are lodged free
would have a proportionate reduc
tion made at their salaries, and
000 places would be abolished.
The premier today is to receive
representatives of the civil servants
and explain the reform to them in
detail. ' i

In my bungalow there are numer

that they may not lead monotonous

I purchase cheese and break it
nto small bits and make way to the
attic of my bungalow. I spread the
cheese on the floor neatly, not to say
artistically. Then I descend the stairs
sgain, carefully closing the door in
order that my mice may be quiet. "
After I have gone the mice come
out and eat the cheese. At first, I
know, they are cautious, they fear a
trap, but there Is no trap, and they
hastily devour .all of the cheese, and
then celebrate by running through
the walls of my bungalow all nlcht
This Is their way of thanking me.
The next night I do the same, but
this time I leave something else. The
mice are no longer, cautious. "Arc wo
not all alive?" they ask each other.
And so they become quite reckless.
Tho next morning I go up in my
attic, and in each ot the trans I
usually find a good looking mouse.

Rates Declined In September.
Washington, Oct. 16. Wholesale
commodity prices In September
showed slight decreases from the
August level. Information gathered
in representative markets by the
bureau of labor statistics of the de
partment of labor brought the
weighted index number covering 404
commodities from 149.7 for August
to 148.8 for last month.
Decreases In farm products, clos
ing materials, fuel and metals were
chiefly responsible for the drop in
the general price IsmI, the figures
showed. Among the 'farm products
also there were substantial reduc
tions in cattle, sheep, cotton, cotton
seed, flaxseed, hay and potatoes.
These decreases, despite Increases in
grains, hogs and wool, caused the
farm products level to recede 1.5 per

DR. FRANK CRANE'S
Strikes
By DR. FRANK CRANE
Strikes sre pure barbarism. 'They are an application of force. Not
force on the guilty party, but force applied to a third party who has
nothing to do with tlrt case.
When a msn has finsnclal difference with his neighbor ho does not
try to get psyment by being oiTensivo to his neighbor's wife and children
or puncturing the tires of the village physician's automobile or going
around shooting up -the butcher and baker who have nothing to do with
tho matter. ' .
But when Labor and Capital fall out they each begin to abuse the
public and hope by this means to secure their rights.
Every other kind of dispute between men and groups is tsken before
a court of law. The question is examined according to well-known rulea
of evidence and the only force In the case is used to compel acquiescence
snd results. ,
But In disputes between employer and employee it Is supposed to
be the thing to do to abuse the public. Of course that may be the only
means of bringing tho condition of the laborer home to us and making
us realise what long hours and low wages are, but it Is a poor means
It shows that so far the business world has not found Itself and the
rule of law and order is not complete In business. For, when It is com
plete, a men who is aggrieved can take his grievance before the proper
tribunal and haVe It settled. He Is not compelled to tsk his pistol and run
amuck through the streets.
There was a recent strike at Covent Garden, London. When it was'
finally settled the workmen went back at about the same rates they had
been getting. The curious spectacle
thousands out of employment taking
Britain Is complaining of Its unemployed classes.
If the workers want the sympathy of the general public they will have
to get It In some siher wsy than by the use of force.
