Klett of this city is the first prominent republican in this section to speak his mind on the probable selection of a party candi- date for president and, according to his expressed views, he believes Governor Lowden of Illinois has a good chance of capturing the honor. Coming from a man in his position, such a statement must be accepted with no little significance. The Senator does not say in so many words that he favors.the nomination of Governor between the lines it can be seen that the first citizen of Illinois is his choice. His words will also be ac- cepted as reflecting the views of re- publicans in high places in Connec- ticut, as Senator Klett wields power- ful influence through his leadership in the Senate and his standing throughout the state gives him en- trance to inner shrines closed to the rank and file. It is to be regretted that tempt will be made to Goveror Coolidge of Massach the nomination for the vice-pres dency. The Bay State executive man of large caliber, too large, his admirers believe, to play second fiddle, and a one-string fiddle at the best. His recent stand against the forces of evil in historic Boston proved him to be a man of energy, decision and courage, and his stewardship over the destinies of Masschusetts stamp him as an executive of the first water. Political expediency, however, will play an im- portant part in the nomination of candidates. Charles KEvans Hughes, an Easterner, was nominated at the last Republican convention, only to fail, mainly because Western states gave slight, but sufficient, margins to President Wilson. It is possible the tepublicans think the nomination of an ISasterner again this yvear would be a tactical error. There is a certain amount of affection in the hearts cf all republicans for the state of Illinois, for obvious reasons, and it would not be surprising to see ihe convention endorse Governor Lowden. Selection of Chicago as the place for the convention is first blood for Governor Lowden. Supporters of General Wood were opposed to the Windy City, believing that the at- mosphere during comvention week would favor the naming of home talent and that an outsider might find the pickings lean. Such is not always the case, but politicians are suspicious and ings and sce signs of the times in everything that occurs. To @eneral Wood, the selection of Chicago for the convention will be something akin to meeting a cross-eyed man on the left side of the street on Friday, the thir- teenth. ~ an at- relegate Nativ of foreign countries are impatient to return mer homes would do well, before making a final decision, to read the story brought back from Europe by a New Britain man who has been visit- ing his native land, Italy.

Industry is at a standstill, rrices of necessities of life are almost beyond reach of the average man, a large part of the pop- ulation is without employment and raw material is scarce. To add to the soal sup- plies are virually exhausted. While this description was applied in particular to Ttaly it could be ac- cepted as a composite picture of Eu- rope. France, England, Germany and stand gaunt and hungry with winter closing in upon them. All are making heroic efforts to recover their equil- ibrium but for a long time to come they must be prepared to withstand the exhaustion caused by war. It is a picture that strikes pity, if not ter- ror, into the heart of man, but it is true in every detail. 1t is said that many New Britain residents have applied for passage and passports back to their old home- lands. It is feared that they are in for a sad awakening if they shores. Desolation and suffering are widespread. Work is not to be found. Bven bread is scarce and the price is high. On the other hand, work is s the United States. Wages and bonuses bring a worker's pay up to top fig- ures. Food and clothing cost more than during normal times, but they can be procured without unusual ef- fort, which cannot be said for Eu- rope. Natives of Europe should think twice before venturing into the un- known. Their condition could never be better than today in America, the land of opportunity because, in addi- tion to their own happiness their res dence here insures the happiness education and prosperity of their children and their children’s children.

It would not be surprising if other cor- porations followed suit and there is reason to believe that at least one other company whose srowth has been marvelous, will soon reach out for a bigger pocketboak. Capital stock increases make for permanent improvement.

The siripling generation hardly realizes that ma- chinery, now commonly used in fac- tories and mills, is of comparatively recent invention. Machines were first used in England in the production of textiles, appearing about the end of \ the eighteenth century. As their prac- ticability became certain they were ap- plied to ather lines of manufacture. Without them it is probable New Britain would not be the important hardware city it is today and we should not be witnessing such expan- sion of capital. e The great American pastime of making New Year resolutions will lose some of its fascination this vear be- cause everyone is so busy that he has no time to attend to minor vices that once beset men. It was customary in the salad days of the race ta swear off flirting with red liquor, hopeful that the drab mornings were a thing of the past. But this year there will be no occasion for deciding to eschew the company of John Barleycorn, be- cause John seems to have takén him- self to other parts. As liquor was supposed to have been at the bottom of most wickedness it is likely that there will be nothing on which the average mortal can “swear off” for 1920. Of course it is possible to shun the “‘weed that weakens'—the slogan is offered free to the Holier- Than-Thou partv—but if men get too good they are apt to wither up and float away on the wings of the first strong gale. It's a little bit late for the suggestion but there might be more mirth in the country, more sat- isfaction with living, if those who con- sider themselves literally their broth- er's keepers had resolved a couple of vears ago not to interfere in their neighbor’s busine All in all, it promises to be a dull season for the resolution hounds. Ever since the failure of the build- ers of the Tower of Babel, the matter of tongues has been a barrier to the closer intermingling of men, not the tongues Aesop used with which to confuse his master, but the languages which are spoken in different parts of the world.

Those in the South, inclufling Brussels, speak French: those in the North speak Flemish. Egypt, despite its antiquity, is a land without a national tongue, French, English, Arabic and Ttalian being spoken; often some of the na- tives who come in contact with the agents of business houses use two or more.

As a com- mercial nation we have not reached the stage attained by the Germans, the French and the English, who prepare for trade expansion by learning the language of their customers. Rather do we insist an English: it has been good enough for us for a greal many years and, therefore, it should be good enough for anybody. With that self- satisfving reflection we have gane blindly on our way, cramming the English language into the ears of for- cigners to whom it was as intelligible as the heiroglyphics on a Chinese laundry cheek. Evolution is changing much of this.
