He is re- questing that they cease the sale of soft drinks, which is all that they are doing as far as surface indications go, in other words he is asking reputable business men to close up their places of business and cease forthwith. Might as well ask a clothing store or a corner grocery to close. On the other hand, should these business men break the law of the United States and sell liquor with in- toxicating content over the soft drink bars, it 1§ the prosecutor’s business to bring them before the court and prove their guilt—closing their place of business by due process of law as soon as the guilt is proven. It is impossible to construe the action and make it conform to the accepted idea of business procedure. Eithef the men have a perfect right to stay in bus- iness or they have not, a matter for the prosecutor to decide. Possibly he has admitted his weak- ness, his inability to prove his cases in asking for the closure of the sa- loons. He practically admits that he suspects that liquor is being sold over the bar when he asks that one be closed, he also pretty Réarly admits that he cannot fulfill his duty—that of prosecuting individuals who sell Hquor. There is no question but that lig or is sold in many plaes, prob- ably there are a few which are pay- ing an obviously large ‘“overhead” from the sale of soft drinks. The lat- | ter have a right to continue, the oth- ers have none, but the whole affair is a matter of prosecution, not of re- quest. We are realizing more than ever what it would mean to New Britain today if we had possessed a similar organization to that which is called the “City Mission,” years ago. There is no doubt that in times passed there were mapy kind hearted and hard working Christians who gave their time to the little enes especlally, as there are today. But thé manner of organization has improved and the ‘work is more united, now. The City Mission Teport published in The Herald of October 12 discloses much of that work, and in detail. No words in report, however, no matter haw well written, can tell the Bood that has come through this organization, and others like it. The 178 children sent to the Fresh Alr camp last summer is one of the features of note. These children could have had no such health-giving out- ing’ were it not for the arrangements concerning it. The neighborly mothers’ gatherings held during the summer attract one especially, and all the little “human interest” tales of the children, learning of life from those who knew how the lesson should be taught. The weekly picnics last summer by those which could not attend the camp were helpful. City Mission workers are still visiting 275 families of 20 nationalities. Once started on this work, it is hard to give it up, realizing what almost inestimablé advantage come to those who have been reaghed. The report mentions some of the boys, too young for the Boys' Club, but who are apt to get in trouble or gain bad ways from loafing about the street corners after school houfs. Place for them to play and met to hear stories are desired, the Mission being too small for all.

The death of Senator Knox reminds us that the world is full of greater men than it is within out power to appreciate. Through all his life, since his twenty-fifth year, his great energy of mind has been devoted to public interests,,and friends and enemies be- lieved, whatever his stand, his inten- tion was to throw the weight of hig strength where it would bring the most of benefit. That he was one of the greatest men of the Senate few will deny. That his preparation for the high place he held was fitting and sewn in fertile soil, none will dispute. That his honors have been well won, none’ will gain- say. He recently came to Washington just at the time when the treaty was to be voted upon. Each member of the Senate would have listened with great respect to what he would have had to say upon the subject under the present conditions requiring separate peace. The resolution for the treaty was drawn by him. His sudden death will delay the vote upon it by a few days probably. Senator Knox was one of the “ir- reconcilables” who, despité the gen- eral feeling that is ever growing stronger that the closer relationship 18 coming among nations, was admired for his ever consistent courage. As Attorney General in 1901, ap- pointed by President McKinley, he first -attained prominence. He held the office under President Roosevelt until he tesigned to accept an ap- pointment .as United States Senator from Pénnsylvania to take the place of the late Senator W. Quay. His achievements and the prominent suits he instituted as Attorney General brought him fame throughout the ceuntry. In every public position held by him, he displayed an activity that never stopped. Right or wrong, he was the great man according to his lights. Of such men as he, is made the foundation which has been built and rebuilt and upon which America will always stand high. GRIT, THE CUREALL. Everyone has a good gdeal of re- spect for the remarks of Thomas A. Edison, in spite of the fun that was made of the questions he propounded. in spite of them, no one smiles at him. No one knows what was in his great mind when he prepared those ques- tions; no one knows what he expected to evoke. Let that pass. He has now made a pronouncement in which much,stock is taken, and which is worthy of publicity—for the truth lies in it. He acknowledges the “upset” economic conditions of our country at this time, but, he says “they are not so seriously disarranged that we cannot remedy them by grit, determination and hard work.” Mr. Edison believes also that pes- simism has helped to keep hard times to the fore. He believes that a return of optimism and faith, mixed with common sense and hard work, will bring a return of good times. This he himself must know by experience. Who should know better than Edi- son? How many times have his experi- ments failed, only to have him go ahead agaln with the determination and grit to bring success which meant more comfort to all the world? Has he not practiced as he preaches now? Fear, he sald, has frightened the people and capital, and is one great cause ‘of the continued depression. A prominent local citizen said not very long ago, in reply to some such suggestion that fear of a “panic” was alding in the depression: “I don't know about that.

The latter goes on to say: “Don’t call it a panic. It is nothing but a period of depres- sion, and nothing to worry over, provided we are set ourselves resolutely to the task of over- coming it. These periods of de- pression comes in recurring cycles. They are nothing new. The point to be driven home is that the country always recovers from them and goes forward with greater strides than ever before, We will get over this one, too. The tide already has begun. to turn. Times are getting better now, slowly, of course, but surely, These periods of depression are caused by a faulty adjustment ot our economic machine, or by it being thrown out of gear by some unusual force, such as war. And may may it bé added to Mr. Edison’s words that the belief is, when normal times come again, there will be more energy, more apprecia- tion of work to be done' by those whose, privilege it is to do it.

There has been little effort on the part of govern- ment officials to conceal the fact that the cabinet would face a crisis if Ger- man towns should be separated from the country by the action of the league council and there are indicationg that ~ apprehension over possible disorders has been felt in government circles.
