No Special Session Needed. (Waterbury deputations called upon Gov. Holcomb Tuesday and urged him to call a special session of the general assembly to act upon the federal suf- frage amendment He has not an- nounced his intention but his attitude in the past does not lead to the bellef that he will accede to the request for an extra session. The occasion does not seem to re- quire it. Connecticut, always slow to ratify constitutional amendments, has not shown, as a whole, any indication that an exception should be made in the case of the suffrage amendment. There is no small body of opinion in this state that considers the suffrage amendment as akin to the prohibition amendment in that it is an invasion of the sovereignty of the states. Fur- thermore suffrage sentiment is de- cidedly weak among women of Con- necticut. There is no widespread de- mand among them for speedy action on this amendment. Those who ap- peared before the governor sald that the majority of the people of tho state desire the extra, session but if this is true there has been no indlcation of it. In vilew of the expense of an extra sesslon, the existence of conslderable opposltlon to the amendment on the grounds of Its invaslon of state self- government, and the lack of gencral pressure for the extra 'soscion among elther women or men, tho goverinor will be justlfied In refusing to convene the general assembly thls year.

The refusal of the \Mayor of Mil- waukee to fall in with the desire of some of his fgllow citizens to show hospitality to King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium wken they visit the United States is ¢xpressed in language in part silly and in part brutal. The significant sentence is { this: “To hell with Kings.” Ab- | stractly American citizens are sup- | posed to sympathize with this idea, but they are not inhospitable to vis- itors whether kings or commons. If | Belgium wants a king no one In the United States can reasonably and especlally when he is a king like Albert, who has shown his fine quali- tles through five years of heroic suf- fering He and his wife are represen- tative of the best type of manhood and womanhood and are recognized as such everywhere in the world, even in Germany, of whose cruel force and rapacity they were the victims. The people of the United States are not trying to decide what kind of rulers countries of Europe shall have and they will not sympathize with any coarse assumption of superfor pa- triotlsm which, as in tho case of this mayor, 1s not demanded by loyalty to the United States, The Belglan king and queen entertained the pres- ldent of the United States with hos- | phable courtesy when e visited that object | BLACK. value $2.25 at BLACK, WHITE and COLORS, This Special Sale offers Silk Hose, values that m prices we offer them Get busy at once ments.

We have no idea but that the American people will rejoice to see this king and queen whose fortunes have bLeen followed with such wants to through four deep sympathy years of war If Belgium become a republic all right. But if she is satisfled with her king it is not for us to consign him to perdi- tion. Daylight Saving (Waterbury Republican.) New York city is investigating the possibility of saving davlight, saving for its five million inhabitants A resolution to continue the daylight ving law in the city h been in- troduced in the board of aldermen by its president, Robert F. Moran, and has been referred to the com- mittee on general weltare. There seems to be little douht but that it will be adopted and that the largest city in the world will institute day- light saving law will follow the ac- tion of New York city. This may come but it does not seem probable for upstate New York farmers have been among the more serious opponents of daylight saving. But the Action of should have considerable other cities nearby and in land. There evident a of determination on the part of civic bodies in various larger cities to do all that can be done to keep daylight saving for urban dwellers. If New York establishes local daylight sav- ing it should strongly encourage those who are working to ge! other cities to do the same Local daylight sav- ing will be successful in proportion as it spreads and so ceases to be purely local The inconvenience that daylight saving might mean to New York for example, would be lessened as other large cities nearby adopted it Tt is to be hoped that the move- ment that New York secems likely to start will develop momentum im- mediately. 2 New York's "\ ictory Hall.™ (New York World) A great Memorial Hall seating at need 10,000 bronze tablets placed upon to contain the names of all York men and wo- men who died the nation's service during the war: an Ixhibition Hall of fine proportions: in the basement a swimming pool and other recreation facilities: in an upper story many memorial and chapter rooms for pa- triotic organizations, and on the roof a wired playground for young Amer- jrans—such. in a stately and beauti- ful exterior, is the plan which is urged upon acceptance as New York's Victory Hall in memory of our dead. No finer memorial posed or is likely to than one so happily impressive and monumental exterior with elements of the highest public utility. In particular may the great assémbly hall be considered as an urgent need of world metropolis having none. The vacant property on Square Is happily situated purpose becavse of its unri proaches and the concentric lines of transit. The city owns half of this and might give it for the hall—but the Committee of Fifteen reasonably hopes that so many men, women and children will be eager to give sums both small and great in so excellent a cause that sit and building may both be entirely paid for. To gift or sale the consent of the city is necessary; and the cordial co- operation of the board of estimate should be assured for a memorial so for New York. the metropolis effect on New Eng- good deal persons, its walls, New in has been be conceived of combining an nro- a Pershing for the valled ap- fitting and beautiful Britlsh Kconomies.
