LIFE'S “LITTLE THIN Of course we know that the greatest of material things and structures are made up of an infinitesimal number of Infinitesimally small molecules. So we ought to remember that life is just like that. Which brings out the im- portance of the “little things” of life; which reminds us that we have heard many, many times the saying “It's the little things that count.” The “little things” combine to make the “big things.” Proceeding with the correlated fact, the most effective life, eliminating the genius If you will, is the life made up of doing most evident, most simple duties. Thus there is a foundation laid upon which a strong structure of good work may be bullt. Regularity of attendance at sessions of the common council is a simple, plain duty. A man may be absolutely: faithful in such attendance, and still ‘may never accomplish great things. Conversely a man may be irregular in his attendance and still be the insti- gator of great movement. But the fact remains that one who accepts this simple, plain duty is do- ing the most that one may to bulld the sort of foundation upon which worth while things may stand. The fact remains that there would be a far better government of the city if the habit of regularity of attendance were more general, It is reported that records show that Mayor Curtis, City Clerk A. L. Thomp- son, Alderman John F. Gill and Ange- lo M. Paonessa and Councilmen Frank O. Carlson and Michael F. King have perfect attendance records for the elghtsen sessions of the council held this fiscal year. The fact is worthy of note. INTEREST IN CONFERENCE. Some doubt has been expressed as to the general interest in the Wash- ington conference. It has been said that people care only for results; that no ‘positive results may yet be seen; that, therefore, the proceedings, dis- cussions and questions raised from day to day are not generally followed. For the benefit of the man or wom- an who thinks that the people of this country do not follow public affafrs as they progress, and that the people are lukewarm in their interest, cer« tain figures just given out by the com- mittee of general information of the advisory committee to the American delegation, may be cited, Up to January 15 it is estimated that this committee has received opihions in regard to the work of the conference numbering 13,878,671 Naturally some of these may have been given by the same persons, or one person may have given more than one opinion. But it is safe to say, perhaps, that nearly ten million peo- ple have given opinions regarding the work which have come to the notice of the committee. News items of these facts have been published, but the significance of the figures is such as to deserve special emphasis in the light of the popular belief that dis- cussed by the national government {s waning. A interest in matters contradiction of such be- lief makes for corrobor- ation of it, for pessimism. The em- phasizing of the optimistic viewpoint 1s especially worth while today. optimism; “LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE" As forecast in these columns yes- terday Japan does not want any light thrown on past commitments in China. She would have those dead and gone secrets which enshrouded the making of pacts of the past in China'remain in the realms of the unsolved. Moreover the French and British join Japan in disapproving of the arti- cle in the proposed resolution to make the “open door in Chir real thing by allowing an examination of exist- ing concessions by the Board of Refer- ence. The resolution as planned now contains retroactive even though its sponsors may helieve, or console themselves by appearing to no provisions, believe, that in the supervision of new | agreements and concessions this in- vestigation of past affairs will come up.

When water was thrown on the chemicals by the fire company it percolated through, dropping to the flood below and contaminating food |y kept there by its poison. Inspectors discovered the situation just in time to prevent the food from heing sold and eaten, thus averting a possible tragedy. Last night at the session common council the chairman of the salary committee read the committee's report which stated that it had been discovered that the names of some of the city employes were not on the list “submitted to the committee” and {that some of the employes had not re- celved increases in pay at the time others had been so benefited. The com- mittee, therefore, asked more time in which to consider this new phase as the ten per cent cut upon which the commit- tee had agreed after making certain adjustments might not be equitable, The time was granted, with some feel- ing of relief it is believed. Thus an- | other mild tragedy was averted. When attention was called yesterday to the lack of information concérning of the proposed t i timation that the facts might not be obtained upon request from the water board by any voter. The point made was that when an opportunity arose to make the facts public, as the chance came at a meeting of the council some [t weeks ago, that opportunity should |! be seized and facts given in response to perfectly proper questions of mem- bers of the council. It was not done |r at that time by the water board and there arose some question concerning did not have the assurance that there |t was plenty for this city, or if amount of water to be sold was to be disposed of under stances regardless of the water situa- tion here and regardless of the quanti- ty so to be disposed of. Last evening the mayor gave the pertinent facts to the evident sat tlon of the council. New Britain, he said, uses about 6,000,000 gallops of water dally; arrangements are being made to increase the supply by from 2,500,000 3,000,000 This work will be finished by the time other communities have laid their pipes and are ready to take our water, The amount to be disposed of is “'surplus water” according to the terms of the contract, read, and is but 300,000 gal- lons daily, making it seem proper to malke the proposed arrangement to the benefit of all concerned. These facts place quite a different light on the matter, and had they heen known more generally would made the water situation better derstood, preventing questions that have conscientious investigators any circum- AC- to gallons. have un- the dis- of many of en from tressed the city affairs.

TWO DAYS ONLY FRIDAY and SATURDAY JAFFA UPRISINGS CAUSING TROUBLE Cities and Towns Are Fined for Molesting Jews Jaffa, Palestine, Jan. 19.—The gov- ernment forcessin this district are at- tempting to stop rioting here by im- posing fines on the inhabitants of the communities which participate in them and following this up with raids upon towns and villages in the Jaffa listrict to collect the fines. The experiment is an unusual one and its success up to the present, is not evident. The Zionists are jubilant and see in this action a definite alignment of the government on their side. On the other hand, it has stirred up bitter feelings on the part of the natives who see in the govern- ment’s action the beginning of Jewish domination and the betrayal of their passionate longing for national free- dom., & A fine amounting to $25,000 was imposed by the govérnment on five towns and villages in the Jaffa dis- trict for alleged attacks ‘made last May by their inhabitants upon Jewish colonies nearby. To collect the fine large bodies of English, Jewish and Hindu troops having machine guns surrounded Tul Karem and four other villages near Jaffa, sent in men and confiscated all the livestock including the oxen, led the animals into the fields and placed them under guard. Then notices signed by Sir Herbert Samuel, the British high commis- sioner, were posted In the streets de- manding payment of the fines. Mr. Cambell, assistant governor of the district, called the leading citizens ot that together in the city square Tul Karem and informed them only five be sold at auction and the turned over to the Jews who vietims of the raids.
