NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER- “JEST RUMINATIN".” (Robert Russell) The votes are mostly ready now ‘an' soon we'll know fhe worst; we dare predict at Harding or that Cox will come in first. We dare predict there'll be a League; my pipe there's no doubt the thing we get will be the one we've talked a 16t about. It may be clad . in diff'rent garb, may bear a diff'rent name, but it will be the sort o' League we've heard of, jest the same. About next week we'll settle down to talk about our town an’ our affairs; perhaps your wife will have to , have a gown; perhaps your children need new shoes, your- self a winter hat; we’ll go in fam'ly conference an' talk o things like that. My rumi- natin’ pipe knews well that questions o' the times affect our country's welfare an’ our nickcls an’ our dimes. Our country’s got to take her place in world affairs, o' course, no matter if we drives a car or rides behind a horse. But there's a League that every man must cherish an’ protect; we must defend that League o' ‘Home from danger an' neglect. toward their taking from them some of tragic features. THE COURANT'S VIEW.

To the Editor of The Herald:— It is not often that 1 write to the newspapers, but your unfair and mis- leadins editorial of October 19 about Senator Harding's Greencastle speech roused my indignation to the point of , protest. | On your front page, you carried an Associated Press dispatch which in- cluded the following: “The meat of this controversy lies in two things—whether Senator Hard- ing in his Greencastle speech said ‘spokesman,” or ‘spokesmen’ in re- ferring to persons that had reparted . him the sentiment of the Freqnch people, and whether the press had quoted accurately the passage in the ' speech to which the president teek “Persons whe heard the speech dis- tinctly caught the plural ‘spokesmen,’ a broad and general term of allusion. As.a matter of fact the officiul stenog- rapher transcribed his notes to read the singular and re- strictive term. This word was sent out by The Associated Press and oth- | " er correspondents with the Harding ! train, but subsequently, and before the president asked his question, Sen- ator Harding told inquirers that he spoke in the plural, and had no in- | tention to make it appear that any officially accredited representative of the French government had ap- proached him.” In spite of this definite statement in your news columns that Senator | Harding ueed the plural in referying to the ‘“spokesmen” of France, vou McMILLANSTOREInc.

And when you find that a great newspaper like the New York Herald, edited by statesmen, states the opposite to be true, you immedi- ately assume that it is wrong and you are right. Yet, all other reliable papers—and I concede that the Her- ald is reliable from a news-giving standpoint—agree with the New York attempting to define, “moral obliga- tiona”, in a recent issue of the Her- ald. We expressed surprise that part of the Senate was talking of “moral obligations"” bad as too little of either, in matters such as these.

Apropos of the great question of the times it is worth while reproduc- ing the “Prussian Hymn of Hate” which German has written and which is printed in organ of the Junkers with apparent glee. A translation run thus: There comes a day A Prussian may. You cannot take A people like the folk and break Them in two. It's at the gate— The happy Prussia’s hate, a nobleman Prussian golden time of And vengeance, would be that on as too.

There is one thing certain, we should have sent a spokesman with some backing to the League council. How he was to be chosen again becomes a matter of politics. We could not send the Sen- ate, we could not elect and choose a man without the same argument aris- ing. Where are we? But we ought to join that League.

There is no question but that youth is interesting. Few of us would not recall it if we could Few of us do not admire its strength, eagerness, keen interest—and its outlook. But once in a while we wonder if youth does not sometimes forget some of these thinzs—youthtul for instance. so fine to see. A young man rode down town in a jitney the other day. Perhaps it would be safe to call him “mest any young man who had not thought a great deal” He was well dressed and of prepossessing appearance. There were several women in the jitney. Women sometimes object to the odor of tobacco. In the jitney was a plain sign reading, “No Smok- ing.” The young man carried between his fingers, one of those cigarettes that refuse to go out—one that gives forth its aroma whether the smoke issues from between the lips of the smoker or from the lighted 1t “working."” A passenger called the young man’s attention to the sign. “Do you see that?” he was asked. The young man glanced at the sign and nodded. . . “Would you mind telling me your name?” was the next question. A negative shake of the head. “Are you ashamed of your name?” Another shake of.. the head. “And yet you won’t tell me what it is?" Another shake of the head. Prediction is dangerous. But it is wondered if that young man, who did not consider the rules of the vehicle in which riding, who thought so much of that cigarette that he would not throw it away before entering the jitney, despite the presence of women, will go on shak- ing his head through life.
