American A WORTHY THOUGHT. s ‘While some folk will manifest im- patience at the special committee ap- pointed by the mayor to suitable memorial to the late Cor- nelius B- Erwin, others will extend to the men of this gathering a vote of thanks for their cool, calm, lective deliberation. While they have not yet reached a decision on just what shall be a suitablc memorial they have at least determined that the name of Walnut Hill Park shall remain, and that the New Britain In- stitute shall also retain present appellation. Were Mr. Erwin’s great- est admirers. consulted they would not rule otherwise. The suggestion has becn advanced that a bronze tablet be placed in the peergola intended to be erected at Walnut Hill Park. This indeed is a good idea. For some time the per- gola has been contemplated and if It is erected a tablet to the memory of New Britain’s philanthropist «ould find no more suitable situation, Because of fear that the board of finance and taxation will not be very | liberal in its apportionment of money needed to out any ideas ad- the committee somewhat loath to suggest or seriously consider elaborate designs for the memorial. This should not be so.

Every man, woman, boy and girl in the city who has ever had oceasion to visit Walnui Hill Park must needs know that this enjoyment was made possible through the good heartedness and generosity Cor- nelius B. Erwin. A collection of nickels and dimes would even suffice to show the appreciation of his bene- ficiaries. Having so much for his fellow townsmen, surcly no one would begrudge little mite in re- And if the board of finance and taxation feels that it cannot in jus- tice to the taxpayers of New Britain afford to spend a suitable sum of money the people of New Britain should be informed of this in due time so that plans and preparations for a campaign might be formulated. a cam- paign to see that the memory of Cor- nelius B. Erwin is ever kept fresh in the minds of New Britain folk.

'This was the practice of hoisting roos- ters at the top of columns in celebra- tion of an election victory- But the good old way has been illustrated once more by the Louisville Courier-Journal which celebrated the choice of a dem- ocratic governor in Kentucky by plac- ing eight roosters across the top of its first page. When unhappily Marse Henry has been called to his fathers the last election rooster may depart. In the long ago, when the venerable William H. Phillips of Amherst con- ducted the Pittsfield Sun of blessed democratic memory, he was great on roosters.

Preparation for national defense \doeh not necessarily mean prepara- tion for war, much less does it imply a desire for war. Secretary Garrison of our war department, which might better be named military department or army department, in a magazine article on ‘“Reasonable Preparation,” suggests word ‘‘precaution” as more accurately conveying the meaning, be- cause “words have such an unfortun- ate way of cumulating meanings foreign to their essence.’” The use of the word ‘preparation’ is apt to con- vey the idea of ‘‘getting ready to do something which one wishes to do, whereas the word precaution more nearly describes the state of mind of ments. WINSTON CHURCHILL TO THE FRONT. . Many will believe that Winston Spencer Churchill, who'yesterday re- signed from the British cabinet and announced his intention of joining the British soldiers in France, decided upon this action because he was not pleased with the manner in which he was handled when the new war committee was formed and he was left out. Because of his previous ex- perience as first lord of the admiralty there. were many who thought Churchill should have had a place in the inner councils even though he had been severely criticised for his conduct of the navy. By casting aside a position’ that is regarded in the light of a, sinecure, the chancel- lership of the duchy of Lancaster in- volving ho responsibility, labor real active service, Winston Churchili, Whatever else may be of him shows himself ‘to be a man of broad principles and not a parasite on the nation. By announcing his intention of refusing to have part in a special war council or of accepting ‘‘respon- sibility for a war policy without any share in its gudance and control” Winston Churchill has but done what any man of power and force should do. There being nothing left for him to-do at home, he has taken to the field where, as major in the Oxford yeomanry, he hopes to find action. | And, it is a safe wager that Winston Churchill will come home, if he does come home, a bigger and better man for having decided to take up the burden of arms. He will find himself more securely implanted in the gocd graces of the Engish people, or said The Greeks will not cast their votes in a referendum on the guestion of go- | ing into the .war Dbefore the are pushed in, but if Constantine is . not careful the Greeks may begin to cast brickbats on that question.—Bing- hamton Press. those who are getting ready to ward off or deal properly with what may come, but against their will and not because of it.” Accordingly what the secretary of war is advocating is not preparedness for war but precaution- ary action for national defense in case such defense should ever be needed. The real question is whether this country, in the light of all that should be considered, has taken ‘“‘proper mil- itary precautions.”—New York Jour- nal of Commerce. “Mammon Worshippers.” (Bridgeport Standard.) Mr. Bryan describes the Manhattan club, at whose dinner President Wil- son delivered his address stating his position on national prevaredness as “the one place in the United States where mammon worshipping portion of the democratic party meet to eX- change compliments.” He »# might have said about the same thing of any prominent club or organization, civil or political, at which Mr. Wil- son might have appeared and made his expected announcement. There is nothing in the character of the Manhattan club that renders it unfit far such a deliverance and the presi- dent could not have spoken before a Chautaugua audience without incur- ring the suspicion on the part of Mr. Bryon that he was poaching on his preserves. The characterization is very mu. in Mr- Bryan’s best demagogic maa- ner. It indicates that he will stoop to almost any depth in battling the president’s position as now taken. But Mr. Bryan has so often been the beneficiary of the “mammon wor- shippers,” as he calls' them and has bowed s0 low, and done s> much tht is doubtful, in the cause of mammon. for his own benefit, that the less he says on that score the butter.

Mrs. Atherton has tried to impress upon her young son, Eugene, that he should play only with good boys. “Mother,” said Kugene, as he came in one day, “you don't want me to play with wicked boys, do you?” “No indeed,” said the mother, pleased that her son had remembered her teachings. 1 Under the defense of the realm act, persons who circulate baseless rumors likely to cause unrest in England will be prosecuted.

Well, if one boy kicks another lit- tle boy, isn’'t it wicked for him to kick back?” “Yes, indeed, it is certainly wicked,” was the mother's reply. “Then I don't play with Richard Whitney any more,” said THugene; “he’s too wicked.

More Plotting? (New Haven Journal-Courier.) The apprehension of the Gondos brothers, publishers and editors of the recently established Bridgeport Daily News, presents certain disturbing as- pects. It was on Tuesday of this week | that the men were placed under ar- rest in the offices of the Trans-Atlan- tic Trust company on charges of extor- tion.

Doubtless it will be a matter of Some pride to stenographers that President Wilson read his speech at the Manhattan club banquet from his own notes. The fact shows that the chief executive of the land finds his knowledge of shorthand so val- uable that he makes constant use of it. Mr. Wilson is the first president who has used stenography in his work; on many occasions he has also done his own typewritng. Because so many persons have tak en it up without any real apprecia- tion of its ideals, stenography as a profession has somewhat deteriorated in recent years. Persons of mediocre ability have made tne mistake of thinking it a study of months only, not of year: A good stenographer must be “all things to all men;"” must be a walking encyclopedia in himself, otherwise he cannot take notes or the varied subjects that come within his horizon and tran- scribe them correctly. Many of the most prominent men in the country have built up their careers on a knowledge of stenos- raphy. The value of this knowledge in all walks of life could not have better illustration than js furnished by the experience of the president of the United States. The Open Window. (Meriden Journal.) the s The open window is greatest health safeguard there and the closed window in the chamber is an abomination. Keep your windows open and open them top and bottom. If you want proof of the value of keeping the window open at both top and bottom, make this experiment for yourself: Open the window at top and bottom. Close the door of the room. Light a candle and set it on the window sill. The flame will blow inward, showing the air is entering the room at the bottom. Now hold the candle at the upper opening, or set is on the upper sash of the low- ered window. The flame will blow outward, showing that the air of the room is leaving by the top opening. If you have twa candles burning at once you can see how constant is the interchange of air in the room. Now, the' objections to this open- window advice are not at all formid- able in fact, but they have almost in- conquerable power on the people's imagination. The first cbjection is that it would be cold. We have al- ready disposed of that, but it still = mains in many minds as a Super tion. 1ven if the aired bedroom were uncomfortable, the arguments for it would stand. But the aired bedroam as a matter of fact is more comfort- able to sleep in than the cloged room. There is always more real comfort in healthful conditions than in the other sort. Health s comfort. Un- healthfulness is comfort: Do not make comfort your fetich, but if you do, be cureful not to mistake comfort for pure slovenliness and insanitary preferences. : Crops and Automobiles. (Louisville Courler-Journal.) An automobile salesman finds that the surest recorder of the financial ituation in the country is the brisk- ness of the sule of automobiles. He sold in the vicinity of Quincy: IIl, 109 cars, of a $760 make, and just half of them went to farmers. This, he says, gives an idea of how important “bumper c: are to the manufacturer of automoblles. The year 1915, in the rreater pacst of United States, although there are sections not so fortunate. has been one of “bumper crops.” The automo- bile manufacturers are doing an un- usuallly good business in the country as a result. And prosperity thut means business for automobile mannu- facturers means business for every purveyo The United States the only coun- try in which the ownership of auto- mobiles by farmers is a common thing. American farmers are not as scientific as those of Europe or of Asia. But they possess vastly greater acreage of land per capita and their business is operated upon a larger scale. They rode good horses when the horse was the only farm tractor, and drove good hand-mdde vehicles always alive to the Importance of the l right material and workmanship in the buggy or barouche. Nowadays averase | ‘n gift is given with any product onel the case will reveal is thus far conjec- tural. But the possibilities of further complicity in the general sort of plot- ing of whica the Gondos brothers are ! supposed to be guilty give some cause for grave fears According to the story published | vesterday, the Gondos brothers admit- ted with puzzling candor that they had prepared to publigh in their two news- papers—The Bridgeport, a Hungarian | the effect that the Trans-Atlantic Trust | company was agent in this country for the central powers abroad, and that through this company the so-called | Lieutenant Robert Fay and other plot- ters 'nad obtained the funds with which to carry on their work. Further, the stores would assert that Julius Pirnitzer, president of the Trans-At- lantic Trust company was a foreign agent and head of an information ser- vice which had already attracted tne attention of the United States secret | service and had resulted in the seizure of the company’s books. These allega tions Mr. Pirnitzer denied with some warmth, and in return preferred against the Gondos brothers a charge that they had conspired to extort from him $2,000 for the suppression of these alleged facts. With the same surprising candor, which it will be re- membered characterized Fay’s state- ments upon his arrest, the Gondos brothers, having denied the charge, admitted that they had been em- daily, and the Daily News—stories tns can be reasonably surt that it is th consumer who pays the freight for the gift either in less amount of the product or in advanced cost. It is so with tobacco and only the craze for something far nothing can account for the popularity of the coupon and this sort of gift adjunct. Levying a tax on such addenda to the legitimate tobacco business will discourage them considerably and enable the tobacco companies to devote themselves to the extension of their business in a better way and in a way more conducive to the best interests of the consumer. Gasoline Prices, (New Haven Register.) There is alwa,ge grumblin;; when, as at the present time, the price of Basol-ne materially rises. But mere grumbling is not intellizent acdon done about {t? Is there noth- ing that can be done about about {t? Perhaps nothing could be done to immediately obviate the rise in price, but even an intelligent understanding of the situation would help. ' The common mistake is to sup- boge such a rise as the presen: one 1 due either to the -aprics or power <f thuse who control the supply. »r to war conditions which will he only texr perary. Thos» who can cintrol the price may take some advantage of increased demand. War conditions have something to de with increasing that demand. But the fundamentai cause is an enormous and rapd'y growing increase in the quantity of gasoline used right in our United Statcs. Not only is the number and size of pleasure and commercial motor vehicles, all of which use gaso- line, sw!{tly growing, but the use of gasoline for other fuel purposes all the whilz increases. The pasoline engine, stationery and motor, is com- mon and universal. Then we shall do well to cease re- garding as temporary the condi‘ions which tend to raise the price of this fuel. Tn the main they are perman- ployed by an association of bankers to wage a crusade against the Trans-At- lantic Trust company and did not at- tempt to deny that they had tried for the Pirnitzer $2,000 which would ap- parently be a larger reward than they would receive from the other source This is the situation which presgnt- ed itself on Tuesday. Since then, Commissioner Scull who had charge of the work of the police in connection with the cases of Fay and other Ger- man plotters who are now under fed- eral indictment, has worked with the police to get at the bottom of the mat- ter. “The statements made by the Gondos brothers,” said Commissioner Scull, after he had talked with them, “are startling, to say the least, and if they are true, a point we are now trying to establish will have a very important bearing on the investigation into German plots which this depart- ment now has in hand If these men in any way linked with the Fay band, we cannot know it too soon. They are educated men, and one of them was connected before the war with Le Figaro in Paris. One is supposed to be an Austrian reservist. The case will stand sifting. If there is more plotting of the Fay sort going forward, the thing must be scotched Should the case of the Gondos brothers contrary to indications, prove a false alarm, men of that stamp, with some- thing more than ordnary intelligence and education, meddling with such matters, might well be watched. This is neutral America. It is no place for plottings in connection with a war foreign to our people and foreign to our interestss Which of the belliger- ents may happen to be concerned is not the import consideration, if in- deed it is to be considered at all. That men who appear to put their allegi- ance to another country first are ac- cepting our hospitality as an oppor- tunity to carry on plots detrimental to our welfare and to our highest inter- ests have been at work and are ap- parently still at work, is a serious matter. Plotting in this country on behalf of foreign interests must and undoubtedly will be stopped are The Insidious Cane. (Waterbury Democrat-) Ever and anon the cane tric rear its head in Americ: ing today, though without success except in some eastern cities. Most of is frankly against it, regarding a walking stick in the hand of any able-bodied man as an offense against democracy and a peril to free in- stitutions. And yet the cane orgin- ally was a sign of democracy and freedom. It came into use in I‘rance in the ecighteenth century, as a sub- stitute for the sword, which only the nobility was allowed to wear. Its use spread until a cane became the universal badge of a gentleman, even conquering the sword in social usage- That condition has persisted in Burope. If a man wants to be treated respectfully in any European city, he must carry a ick. To be without one is to be set down as a member of the serving class or the proletariat. But we Americans have our own standards. and the voice of the nation Is unmistakably against the cane. much the country the Wail of the Coupen. (Ansonia Sentinel.) The Underwood bill, which levies a tax on tobacco coupons, gifts accom- panying the sale of tobacco products and prohibits the inclusion of certain articles in tobacco packages, is de- signed to enable the tobacco compan- ies to give up a practice that they have unwillingly undertaken under the stress of competition and which is not of material value to them. This practice forces them to give up legiti- mate advertising and devote their money to conducting this sort of a competitive campaign. Naturally the advertising mediums wish the bill well- It means a gain for them in a legitimate source of revenue. The money now spent for gifts naturally go for advertising. It helps the consumer can receive more and bet” without than with the coupon. too for he tobacco ‘When ent and they will increase. There is very little reason to expect a return to eleven-cent gasoline. And gasoline at double that price becomes something else than the mose economical of pos- sible fuels. Its supply is not inexhaust- ible. It does not increase at all in proportion to the demand. As soon as the truth permeates that we can expect no more cheap gasoline. there may be an effort in the direction of a substitute. Denatured alcohol is known to be possible, only lacking a practical means of production. Others have been mentioned. Possibly im- provements in the efficiency of gaso- line are on the way. At all events, the time has come for this sort of effort to speed up. ‘“Twilight Zone Americans.” (Waterbury Democrats.) new sort of citizen has sudden- 1y He char- acterized by officlals of our state de- partment as a ‘“twilight zone Amer- ican.” A good-sized colony of these “twilight zoners” exists in London. It consists of Americans who went to England a long time ago and have been content to stay there over since. Some of them have resided in London. for as much as thirty years. +They are Americans who have lost touch with, and interest in, their native land. Many of them are always ready with hostile eriti- cism of things American and always viewing their fellow-citizens through British monocles. Henry James, the novelist, was a “twilight zoner” un- til lately, but he had enough native American honesty to renounce his citizenship when he made up his mind that it was incompatible with his pro-British temperament. Now, all at once, a great many of these gone and forgotten Americans have re- membered their American citizenship. Their loyalty has been awakened by the fact that England is getting to be very strict with non-British resi- dents. Since they are not British subjects, they might have passports if they want to stay. And our state departemnt makes the cruel announcement that in the case of these Americans who have deliber- atdly absented themselves from their country for many years, never per- forming any of the duties of eciti- zenship, it will not issue passports. They may suffer whatever fate their British hosts impose; Uncle Sam washes his hands of them. It may be unconstitutional, bhut there's a wholesome patriotic lesson in it.
