One may without great intellectual strain agree with President Wilson that there is a close connection be- tween the firm establishment of world ie peace and the generally restless industrial condition. It might be said with like positiveness that, had the war not occurred, we should have been been moving along in the same old way. If all things remgined normal, we should have very ll&(\ to talk about or rave about In his address at St. Paul yesterday Mr. Wilson is reported by the Asso- ciated Press to have said explicitly: “The world is not going to settle down until it learns what part the United States is to play in the peace. This means, if it has any meaning worthy of attention, that it is for the benefit al the world that the Unitegd States should at the earliest possible opportunity make its position known We Dbelieve the United States should make its position known at the earliest possible moment The trouble with the statement is that it pravokes one to inquire why the matter has not been settled, and that carries one to a renewal of the consideration of the president’s part in the delay. Whether he has done all that he is required to do by the constitution in enlightening the senate committee on foreign af- fairs with regard to the peace negotia- tions, he has not done all he might have done without violation to the constitution, to enlighten them. The charge cannat be fairly brought against the senate for delaying with- out admitting the charge that he has ided to it. For wecks it has been possible for the president and the senate to agree upon a form for the treaty to take without endangering the proposed league of nations. It has been known all that time that the senate would not yatify the treaty without crossing a ™ or dotting an “L" Instead of accepting that fact a the assurance of men as patriotic and earnest as himself, he has resented it, and has used every ounce of his distinguished power to overturn it. He is daing that day by day now in a manner to add irritation when irritation should be avoided. If he will return to Washing- ton .at once, and sit down with the senate majority in a spirit of rational compromise, the world will know in a jiffy just where the United States stands. The remedy is simple and at hand. Air Sleepers. (Meriden Recard.) transportation company recently organized to run air liners between Sew York and San Francisco has been blazing the trail with one of its 26- passenger planes. It landed one day recently with half its passengers fast asleep. It might be supposed that there would be little incentive to sleep on an airplane, especially on one's first trip. But the passengers on these planes say the contrary is true. The cabins are big and comfortable. The ma- chines ride more smoothly than a Pullman car. The novice soon comes to feel a sense of security. The scen- ery, beautiful it may be, becomes rather monotonous in time. The groaning and whirring of the propel- lers tends to make one drowsy Still more overpowering is the so- porific effect of the air. Fresh air al- ways tends to make one sleepy, as any automobile rider or ocean traveler can testify. It seems to operate mor as strongly in the higher levels, where the air is purer. A French scientist declares that there is, in fresh air, a positive sub- stance whose nature is to induce sleep, and hopes that some day it may he cxtracted and used as medicine.

Because ihe terrific catastrophe of the war has made them realize that their minds are ill. We are all reading, hungrily, trying to find out what was the matter with our minds.”"—Chris- topher Morley, in The Haunted Book- shop. An eminent librarian contributes this toward the solution of the prob- lem of improving public reading “My own opinion, which some regard as heretical is that taste can- be cultivated, in literature, or art, music, to any considerable extent by stidy. The study of these things must have to do largely with history and technique and while a knowledge of these is desirable it cannot affect taste, although we may imagine that it does. A taste for good may be acquired like a taste for olives. If a person dislikes olives the only way to make him change his mind is to induce him to keep on eating olives, when one of two things will take place—either his dislike of olives will be confirmed or it will disappear. As most people like olives when they be- come accustomed to the taste, the lat- ter result is to be expected.’—Arthur BE.

We do not discourage our friends the drug stores—there is a place for them too—but most cities possess an ener getic candy merchant who proves how to win out by catering in the newer way. Is there room for such a per- son in our business section?” From all appearances it would seem From the Candy a that this sarcastic and ungentleman- ly paragraph is a direct insult to the proprietor of every ice cream and candy parlor in the City of New Brit- 1in.

The campaign will be conducted by canvassers who will make a house to house canvas | among the Jewish residents only and will last only a week.
