Other- wise Old Glory will fly from nathing but public bulldings, The new law which was approved on February 8, this vear, came just near enough to the inauguration date to show what might happen. Many merchants fearcd to make public display of the flag, in iheir window decorations. At this period in the internatianal situation men display the flag because they are prompted=by ‘a spirit of pa- triotism. The Star Spangled Banner is flown from the roofs of homes and the front: of other buildings because of an inborn jlove for country.

It will ‘lift t vell that hes hid from the people of the United States the insidious conspir- acies that were directed against their Welfare. ‘The plot to forth an alliance ‘with Mexico and Japan is only part of & gigantic scheme ‘that the Bureau of Iavestigation, Department of Justice, unfolded in its entivety. Documentary Proof rests in the archives of the State Department and in the White House. ‘ -Almost at the ssme moment that annouticement 15 made of the forth- coming White Book, the Norddeut- sche Allgemeine Zeitung prints a warning to President Wilson which states that he alone before Thistory has to. bear the responsibility of his own country which up to now still enjoys the bleskings of peace. The White Book which should be issued (in the mear future will ' show just under what conditions this nation hax enjoyed peace and the blessings that £0 with it. The long series of plots and intriques were curses enough in themselves to offset some of the blessings of peace. Since the beginning of thie war this country has gone through a period of trigl and tribulation that few na- tions would have tolerated. With ex- treme patience the President has done all in his power to-keep out of war with ‘a nation that almost insisted upon dragging us Into the .war. Knowing what-he does, and what the American people had not known up to the expose of the Mexican plot, the wonder now is that Wilson could exefcise so much patience. A list Published last week by the State De- partment shows that more than 200 American citisens have been killed on the: high seas by German submarines. These Americans were innocent non- combatants. - They had nothing to do with the war. Yet their lives were brutally taken without warning, ‘without a chance to escape. The White Book will show more than is already known. It will give the inside facts of the dymamiting of factories and the blowing up of buildings on American soil. It will show the insidous workings of an organization that had for its object the banding together of German- American citizens against their sdopt- ed ‘country. Tt will give:inside in- tormation’ pertaining - tb the = opéra-*| tions ‘of Ambassador Von Bernstorst who, while lie was. pl his friend- ing: o NEW BRITAIN . DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, agents, was paying money for arsoi: and other crimes. These thiiigs ‘will be enlightening to the. American péople who have sat L stleritly and watched the sertes of dep- redations against: their country for more than two years. With true Yankee patience and forgiveness the American President and the Ameriean people have stood for about all they can stand for. Diplomatic relations have been broken to be resumed, no one knows when. . But there. will be no patching up of friendship until the rights of the American people are protected ‘on the high seas and-else- : is understood that new whiere as they have been in the days of old. That'is the case, '‘come what may. The White Book_ ‘will. tell the story. - Prices of cggs have tumbled for the time being. Perhaps tumble is not the word. At any rate eggs are not as costly this week as they were 1ast week. _'The reason for this is be- cause. some of the specplators have let 1oose a great quantity ugen the market. - The hens too - have begun to lay-again. Between the laziness of hens and the thriftiness of egg deal- ers the consumers must suffer. ‘When Senagor La Follette says that “the level of our statesmanship” has not been so low in ‘perhaps thirty years, he leaves himself open to con- viction, : FACTS AND FANUamo. Our idea of something not to zey excited over is whether we ‘“break" with Austria.—New Haven Union. Eggs are rapidly dropping In price, 'he. annual city election will ‘be held on Tuesday, April 10, only about a month away, - But because this.isx a so-called “‘off year,” when there i: no contest for. the mayor’s chair, the interest in -the event will not be as keen as it was'a year. ago when George A. Quigley and Orson F. Cur- tis had their bitter fight for premie: honors. There will, however, be ton: siderable individual angd factional in+ terest in the personnel’ of .the new council and in seéveral instances it candidates will be brought forward to represent .various wards. The most bitter fight will come after the election is over. | The new, council will undoubtedly b overwhelmingly republican and. the victors will battle among themselves to elect & chairman pto tem, whose duty it is to act as mayor .during that official’s absence from the city. At present Alderman M. Irving Jes- ter holds that title, having been elect ed a year ago. Although the alder- man will again be in the race it is understood. that Alderman _ John Stadler’ of the fourth ward has the pro tempore bee buzzing in his bon- net. Mr. Jester is one of the veter- ans of the council, while Mr. Stad- ler is a comparative new comer whose rise has been rather meteoric. Both men are staunch republicans. There is a feeling in some quarters that Mr. Jester, while thoroughly conscien- tious, can be improved upon as chair- man pro tem and the supporters of Mr. Stadler are priming him for that position. He has taken a lively in- terest in council doings ‘and'is well informed as to procedure, but his ex- ecutive ability or parliamentary knowledge has-never been displayed. It is no idle prediction therefore, to state that when the republican cau- cus assembles next month there will be a merry battle between the Jes- appointed. The hoapd of sclectman, !

Certain it is, however, that should the council not see fit to give to an all tme man a ! salary commensurate with that paid elsewhere Arthur N.

We notice the wo- men scanning advertisements and store windows for advanced styles, but we have yet to hear from the ru- ral subscriber who reports the - first blue bird or robin. ,Here's a chance for the Stanley Quafter Bird club_to score a point. .o It is to be hoped that the present generation will live to see the instal- lation of a catch basin or some other | drainage syvstem between) the car | tracks on Main street, between the Trust company corner and the morth end of Central Park. Never ‘yet has there been a rain storm that this sec- tign was not so+completely flooded as to' make it impossible for pedestrians to cross without boots. Either a ferry or a new drainage system is the rem- edy. < «e The public should insist that the Hartford and Chestnut street trolleys stop for passengers at the corner of Main and Church streets as of old True, the company has moved the sta- others to become ill. Also, in theaters and dther public places people should exercise care, especially in regard to sneezing and coughing. It is no more diffienit to hold a' handkerchief over the mouth when sneezing or coughing’ #nd it may prevent somé other person from contracting an ailment. Most suggestive is the cover picture on this week’s Saturday Evening Post A. “e e New -Britain husbands are worried.

There ‘has been some independent agitation ‘to, take the right of fixing salaries out of the hands of the com- mon council and placing it in the de- partment of the finance board. It is | thought by some that the council is oftimes tqo lenient, its sympathies are too easily aroused by eloquence, with the result that increases sometimes given are not in the proper ratio. It has been argued tI a satable finance board, composed of fair and broad minded business men who really. know. city conditions, would.act more wise- ly. They would “hayé to be shown before a raise ‘would be forthcoming, but would not hesitate. to aet where deeds merited it. 3 Y ‘With the numerous and frequently big salary raises just granted by the council some people are asking what ‘will happen when the present ab- normal-conditions change, as they are ~ iabound to eventually.

Full sixty-two long years ago I smoked my first cigar, I was at school with other boys ‘Who came from near and far. Not only from throughout the town, But from the towns around To our endowed fcademy, The best that could be found. The meeting house with lofty spire Still guards the village green, And climbing up the hill beside May pupils yet be seen. The school nearby was at the rear, And very much the higher, From whence we viewed the village street Beneath that lofty spire. And at the end of each school year, ‘That meeting house was ours, ‘We gave our exhibitions there To demonstrate our powers, We changed the pulpit to a stage For our dramatic art, In “Gascon Peéasant and the Flies,” I played tHe Peasant’s part. That school still stands upon that hill, But with a change of name, They dropped the nameo academy And Lewis High school came. I often think of the old boys I played with on that hill, Many are gonme, but quite a few Are boys among us still. ‘When we were young, the cigarette To us was never known, & And what few men did smoke at all Did mostly smoke at home. And when a’boy could freely smoke Until he'd had enough, And not be sick, we all agreed * That boy was rather tough. Tobacco smoke at our school ground I only once recall, ¢ " And on that day, a lone cigar Was smoked by one and all. By urging some to take it in, And some to take it out, We caused some ‘fiftty mouths to greet That cigar on its bout. We were not germs, Nor any bugaboo, And all but galboys did the same As other boys.did do. frightened - then by The one who planned that little prank Though it was hard to beat, And boasted that a large red cent ‘Was ample for that treat, Some of those boys, myself for one, Had never smoked before, And but a few did then desire To .do =0 any more. The “Hill of Sclence” we did climb Within old Southington, And there I smoked, and it waa’there T left off when I'd done. My closing lines, it seems to me, Are best of all by far, The' thi rd may present a some- what ch: d line-up. Councilman Orson F. Curtls, disliked politically as he s by many, is regarded as a good counter-balancing power in the council. - Many, although holding no brief for the ‘oftimes technical and heckling councilman, see in him a man who knows-city affairs thorough- ly and can find flaws and defects which & younger man might pass un- noticed, ‘hope to see' him return as alderman. William C. Wall will have to be re-elected for a term as he was named in place of the late Eliot H. Porter. If Charles Muecller sees fit to run again he could be re-elect- ed, and a new candidate for the openr position has been brought forth in the person of Gardner C. Weld. In the fourth ward H. P. Richards should be re-elected without a dissenting vote. Councilman A. H. Olson may see*fit to retire. G. Rohert Merriman will also have to be elected as he likes council business as his term was only to fill out in place of D. A. Wicander, resigned. .Should the fifth ward coun- cilmen, Joseph Owslak and John Par- tyka, seek re-election it is likely that they will meet with strong. demo- cratic opposition as the minority party is understood to be intent upon reclaiming this district. A fight Is also expected in the sixth ward. Coun- cilman Gorbach, who succeeded Wil- Ham J. Smith, democrat, will run for re-election and will almost cer- tainly be opposed, gossip in the sixth states. Francis T. McDonough will probably be returned. Four. members of the school ‘com- mittee retire this spring unless re- elected.. They are: L. Hoyt Pease, “| BEdward M. Pratt, Dr. John E. Martin and Henry P. Roche. It has been intimated that there will be a contest in the primaries for at least one posi- tion and it is rumored that L. Hoyt Pease has been picked as one target for the opposition. Messrs. Pratt and Martin, so far as street talk goes, have no opponents, but it may develop that Mr. Roche will meet with opposition, gossip says. % ‘Where appointive positions termin- ate this spring the mayor's probable aelections are a source of speculation. Naturally the personnel of the new fire and police boards, if aulhorized, is the most talked of thing. Many names have been mentioned for the . police board, including Herbert V. Camp, H. 8. Tallard,” George Kimball, * Lawyer Charles H. Mitchell and W. 8. Trask. For the fire board the names most prominently mentioned are E. G. Bab- cock, I. W. Carlton and A. E. Mag- nell. In the other hoards it- is. not thought that there will be any mater- {al shake-up. It Is upderstood 'Mr. Tallard will not either seek or accept reappointment to: the health - depart- ment. This will leave the position of chairman vacant and Dr. George Bod- ley is the logical man for that posi- tion. During the few times he has pre- sided he has exhibited a mhrked apti- tude for executive work. There is no doubt but what the common council will see fit to reappoint Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett without a dissenting vote. Since the salary of the assistant prosecutor has been boostad to $650 however, there is a strong likelithood that Joseph G. ‘Woods may not' have - clear sailing. The corporation counsel, J. E. Coaper, will be renamed without question. Other appointments include a vacancy in- the cemetery committee which will have to be filled and in the pub. lic amusement committee when How- Timbrell will probably be re-. upon because there has been no way to tell who was a legitimate newspaper representative and who was a pseudo one. Many complaints have been re- ceived at this office, and presumably at other newspaper offices, from com« mittees in charge of fairs, bazaars, dances, entertainments, festivals and other species of entertainment stating that a dozen reporters had tfied to “work” the man at the door for ad- mission. In many imstances it has been learned, young men with abso- lutely no connection with a newspaper have professed to the ticket-taker that he was representing that sheet in or- der that he might gain = admission. Thus, the real newsgatherer was placed at a disadvantage. Unless his identity was known 'his visit was the subject of suspicion. The same holds true of fires, wrecks and other occa- an ‘angry sea.

The words of commendation given Dr. T. T. Reeks .and his health de- partment by the 'finance board. are well deserved. Than Dr. Reeks the city has never had a more efficient and conscientious devotee. His gkill as a physiclan, coupled with his broadmindedness and farsightedness make of him a:power for Renuine good in the community. The rily may well look at the past admin:stration® of the city’s health department and consider it a job well done. A recent sanitation campaign launched by the heaith board is al- ready accomplishing resuilts. It is to keep as clean and sanitary as possible all food stores where eatable products in their raw state are exposed to the air.. In many stores crackers, sugar, cookies, pickles and other -articles- of food are displayed without covering of any kind. This exposes the foods to all sorts of gemms, dust-and dirt and also makes it possible for prospective customers to handle the food. The elimination of this will go far toward raising the standard of food stores even as the soda water fountain in- spections has in the drug and confec- tionery stores. .
