By way of making a practical Christmas gift to each of its employes, the American Paper Goods company of Kensington announces its inten- tion of taking out life insurance for every man and woman working at the plant. In this way some one thousand persons will be directly af- [fected. The insurance covers acci- dent, sickness and death, and is given gratis to all who have been in the employ of the company for more than three months. Those who have served for a greater length of time will be given ' benefits proportionately larger than those who are on the mere threshold of their careers. It was some nine months ago that the Trumbull Electric company in« Plainville carried out the same plan in the matter of insuring those who labor there. The lives of all employes ‘were insured for the benefit of their families. The amount of insurance was graded according to the length of service of the men. This is prac- tically the same as the Kensington company’s arrangement. Those who ¥ Its a hazardous job Po- try to betray or make - stay of it. For this U. S..A.

This is substan- tially evidenced by the action of the American Paper Goods company in insuring its employes without charge to them. There is a benefit, of course, on both sides. The men, when they ! are satisfled, will not be so ready to leave their employment. The com- ! pany then is the gainer. Likewise, the men are much better off.

If this is true, and sesmn’ | plpudibly, there should little difficulty for the Federal In- bers to have this law overridden ; but a joker has been found in the nmew form which makes the old law stand. Congressmen do not want to be inconvenienced, it seems, any more than do other residents of the nation. Yet they are not loath to vote away the privileges of their fellow men, as evidenced in some of the laws per- petrated on the poor defenseless Dis- trict of Columbia, and the latest at- tempt to over-ride popular govern- ment, the amendment to the Constitu- tion which would prohibit the manu- facture and sale and distribution of liquors throughout the United States.

The three -Scandinavian neutrals could not help our allies much by entering the war and no attempt is being made to draw them into it. Germany is losing her influence over Sweden now that Russia has become impotent, and the bogey of Muscovite aggression no longer keeps the Swedes from sleeping. Germany therefore bullies defenceless Denmark in order to keep her Scandinavian neighbors quiet, now that Russia is no longer a menace. If there is such a thing as interna- tional justice, one of the terms of ‘peace will be the. restoration of her lost provinces to Denmark along with Alsace-Lorraine to France. . German newspapers say the United States is fighting to win these provinces for France so that Germany's potash monopoly may be broken by the operation of the rich potash mines west of the Rhine once more in French hands. So be it, if Germany puts it that way. Germany would not be able to trade on her monopoly of cheap potash salts, if the world could secure supplies from France. Germany deserves no consideration when she tries to win the war by op- pressing neutral neighbors. She can- not prepare for another such war as a lot to answer for; but the war will not continue forever. * _ FAOTS AND FANCIES. \Next summer the ice man will ex- plain‘ to Nis customers that the cold snap in Decgmber made necessary the increased price of the commodity with which he ‘deals.—New York Sun.

There Is a Difference in the Methods of Fooling People Which Leaves a Good Or Bad Taste. (Waterbury Republican.) Germany's attack on P. T. Bar- num is most fittingly met i Connec- ticut, his native state. Von Tirpitz, Von Zimmermann, or some one of those kindly souls who have been in- spiring the German nation in these days, sneers at America as the land that produced a P. T. Barnum. Evi- dently the implication was intended to be that our war preparations arg of the circus sideshow poster charac- ter and will be found to consist large- ly of fake wher the real thing is seen. One of P. T. Barnum'’s famous say- ings was, “the people love to be fooled.” It is to be noted, however, that the people have always had the kindliest feelings for this famous old show man. He fooled them, but in the same sort of cheerful spirit that father fools the children with the Santa Claus myth. His was a joy bringing, laugh creating, ‘‘fooling” that brought with it no bitterness. The circus side show grew more popu- lar every year just because people merrily wondered what sort of hqax was going to be ,perpetrated upon them as it came around each season. The deceit and chicanery that the kaiser practices upon his people is not to be compared with the kindly entertaiament hoaxes that made Bar- num famous. The deceit, for in- stance, by which Prussian autocracy convinced the German people that they were fighting to save German territory, when militarism was set moving to build up an empire, can Ieave nothing' but bitterest resentment when they at last see that it was by this lie that they were induced to bleed and make sacrifices. Especially will this be true when they find that not even the empire for which Prussia reached has fallen inte their hands. The whole world, infested with Prussia’s spies and secret agents, has awakened to the sort of deceit that the kaiser stands for, and it is not with that cheerful spirit of fun with which people find that the side show freak is not all that the poster claims for it. The fundamental difference is that Barnum planned his hoaxes with/ the purpose of innocenmt entertain- ment, the kaiser organizes his de- ceits with the sinister purpose of harm tc the victims. It is thus that he.is now ‘planning a Christmas surprise package of peace that weuld bring an end of fighting but would carry with it brute domination of Europe and the world. As for our ‘“ineffective” war prep- aration, P. T. Barhum was most un- happily chosen to emphasize its “un- reality.” Connecticut is the chief mu- nitions center of the country. From Bridgeport, the home of P. T. Bar- num, have been pouring guns in countless numbers, ammunition and other war supplies that have been aiding the armies of France and Great Britain to pound their way through the German lines. And Bridgeport with each succeeding month has been exerting greater and greater efforts as it increases its pro- dnction of the sinews of war. Meanwhile the Xateer is fooling his people with statememts to the effect that the land of P. T. Barnum can- not be an important factor in this war. Meanwhile the home city and home state of P. T. Barnum are hustling at a work that will ultimately show Kafser BHl that another saying accredited to the famous show man is true. Whether he said it or not, the spirit is one that he believed in. “You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can fool some of the people all the time. But, you can’t fool all the people all the time.” —~——— Hospital OCamouflage. An old South Curolina darky was sent to the hospital of St. Xavier in Charleston.

Henry Schueer, und dismissed them from the service. The men were found Builty of “holding views subversive of discipline and of ' undermining .good citizenship.” It takes twenty-four votes to dis- miss a teacher, and twenty-five were mustered against Schmalhausen, twen- ty-six - against Mufson and thirty against Schneer. The teachers were defended by Thomas W. Churchill, Dr. Ira 8. Wile, I. Montefiore Levy, John Martin, and Joseph Barondess. Those who urged the dismissal were Chair- man Whalen of the High school com- mittee, Professor Franklin H. Gid- dings, Arthur S. Somers and General George W. Wingate. Decision on the three. cases were 20, 1 ]:ACIS Thrust Did you ever consider what pushes a battleship along, just where and how?

Mr. Churchill, in behalf of the tcachers, said he was con- vinced of the sincerity of each of them in relation to the carrying on of the war, the Liberty Lcan, and other mat- ters on which they were questioned. Mr. Churchill alleged that the mo- tive for the “inquisition” of the teach- ers at the De Witt Clinton High school could be found in the resolution passed by 105 teachers at that school criticis- ing Chairman Whalen as “autocratic” for his calling the teachers to account after they had protested against the longer school day. This motive was denied by Mr. Somers and the other speakers who favored dismissal. . Mr. Churchill read from the testi- mony taken at the trial in which Ellen E. Garrigues, head of the English de,, partment, quoted Principal F. B. J. Paul of the school as saying, “Now I've got him,” when he read a paper written hy a pupil in Schmalhausen’s class attacking President Wilson. “Why, gentlemen, it was the most pitiable travesty on a trial that I have ever witnessed in my long career,” declared Mr. Churchill. “In the name of God, would you send a dog to his doom on such testimony as that? The foundation of the charges against the teachers was lese-majeste against Mr. Whalen. And the people who brought the charges are the kind who would teach patriotism to all the world. That's the patriotism of Prussia.” | Professor Giddings, as well as the other speakers, including Chairman ‘Willcox, said there was no charge of disloyalty against the teachers.. In the case of Schmalhausen, he said, his penciled marginal notes on the let- ter” written by the boy attacking the president showed ‘not the slightest reaction indicating outraged honor, tending to show that the government had been assailed in a critical time.” Mr. Levy disagreed with this asser- tion, and read the teacher’s com- ments, some of which were recorded as “exaggerated, excessive emotional- ism,” “irrational,” ‘not sane.” Schneer was attacked by Mr. Gid- dings for a bibliography of literature he wrote, copies of which were sold in the school book store. Under each book Schneer wrote a line of poetry, and some of these lines aroused the ire of the professor. Dr. Wile, in de- fense of Schneer, asserted that the bibliography was placed on sale with the approval of the gchool authorities, and that the entire faculty of the school might well be brought up on similar charges. 1 Because Munson at the trial refused to answer certain questions concern- ing the government and the war, Pro- fessor Giddings said he would vote against him as he would vote “for the | discharge of any man capable of such ! mulish _conduct.” Mr. Barondess objected to cutting short the discussion when Mr. Whalen wanted to limit it to about an hour. “Of course you would object,” snap- ped Mr. Whalen. “Yes, I do object, because I am op- posed to railroading any person un- less he is guilty,” declarsd Mr. Bar- ondess. WORK FOR STENOGRAPHERS. Vice-Principal J. C. Moody, of the High school, has sent out communi- catians to the local factory offices with Tegard to part-time office employment for members of the commercial course. The plan, as adopted last year, calls for eight consecutive weeks of work in one of the factory offices, the pupils working only half a day. The pupils receive no money for their work. The plan, as used last year, was a success, and, with the co-operation of the fac- tory officlals Professor Moody intends to begin it again after the Christmas vacation. 3 TO. ENTERTAIN SOLDIERS.
