The humblest citizen of the United States stands by the side of the Presi- dent in thought of this tragedy con- sideration of which levels all to the same position of deep grief, sorrow and, sometimes, fear. The President says the terrible trag- edy “has left us wondering about the revolving facts.”” Laying aside direct thought of depressing details of this event which has brought death to over a hundreds persons, there may be no better characterization of our feeling than that which declares we are ‘“left wondering about the revolving facts.” Where will death and destruction, anguish and suffering strike next? Where is man safe from danger? How may man provide for the purely phys- ical precautions against practical an- nihilation? With the realization of that which happened yesterday before us, before the world, added to memories of similar disasters which have come to man, how criminal it seems that men and nations should still be harboring the thought of possible wars, conceiv- ed, instigated and carried through eriminal chaos to an end which brings woe. This tragedy and others which have come, which will come, should forge bonds bringing men of all nations to- gether for the common purpose of protecting, not destroying life, of per- petuating a peace the breaking of which would make the guilty men and nations eternally hopeless outcasts. BARUCH FOR BONUS When a sentimentalist gives vent to his emotions and comes out strong for the soldiers’ bonus, political financiers smile, look wise, and say it was to be expected, but that such people are im- practical and don't know what they are talking about. When a student of finances business like Bernard M. Baruch takes a firm stand by the side of that senti- mentalist, “wise practical politicians" ought to heed. ! “I am for the bonus” Mr. Baruch 18 quoted as saying. "I believe the sol- dier who, because he was in the serv- ice was denied the chance to share in the opportunities (to make money) brought by the war, should now get a portion of the profits, The war in- dustries board, of which I was chair- man, had the hardest kind of fight to prevent war profiteers from actually walking away with the treasury dur- ing the war * * * * there should be no ohjection on the part of these men now to sharing some of this money (war profits) with the men who had to do the fighting.” It would be interesting to investi- gate how those who ars opposing the bonus came out financially while the The inclination and war was in progress. arises to wonder if many would show so much opposition if they knew that by so doing their own profits during the war would be investigated to see if, possibly, they might spare a little | of those profits to help make up for what the fighting men lost. AESTHETIO DEVELOPMENT NEW BRITAIN Man is an animal of many tastes, erein he differs from the specimens | o same general classification | Him. We arc taught that the impelling motives of all forms of ani- " mal life, the guiding instinct inherited from the life that before, the heritage of the brain from genera- | tlons preceding are virtually the same and few in number. The struggle for ! existence everywhere in animal life is! ‘summed up in three instincts, search | ot sheiter, food, and the perpetuation | of the race. These primary instincts man has enlarged upon though he has IN has gone | ment of the matter NEW numbers of fancy Adishes, gourmets prate of the wxcellencles of various foods that would have been scorned instinet prompts us to cat as set friend ages ago to search for him alive for diversion is more by the caveman, Yot the same our and ancestor of the stuff that The desire cent than the primary instinets and far more diversified at hand for satisfying it for the gratification of the older instincts, We call civili- 1 many op- kept re means’ are than exist s0 developed what we offe have zation that we have portunities for the exercise of our feel- ings—and it is better so. What appeals to one¢ not to another, wseveral forms of diversion may appeal to one in the same ratio. Love of art may be part of the instinct for diversion and art Is at once reclassified into muany different branches, musie, sculpture, painting, writing and forth, But music probably ranks with any of the arts in the matter of age., Man tried to make melodious sounds with a reed pleked by the river bank is brother was drawing a crude pic- ture on the face of a cliff with mud of various colors. The man who first tried make melody had his part in forming the lives of those who lived today, he had picked out a form of art that was to outlive him for thou- sands of years. While some of us have 8o branched off in our liking of diver- sion that we do not care as much for music as we do for some other form of art most of us respond to some ex- tent to the strains of music written by a maser and inerpreted by mindy versed in the handling of score and instrument.” We need not necessarily care for music to be cultured—to show evidence of the finer something that we have inherited from the past. But love of good music is proof that there has come to us, through many gener- ations perhaps, an influence which di- rects the thoughts to the better things of life. As we respond to that love for art, for music, and seize the op- portunify to listen to it we unconsci- ously act for the relief of our aesthetic selves. The efforts of the New Britain guild in sponsoring the development of musical love through such affairs as were held yesterday afternoon when the Hartford PhilRarmonic orchestra played here and when George Morgan loaned his baritone to the pleasing en- semble of the program, should be ap- preciated by all who have primary im- pulse to listen to music. No one may inject that first impulse into us; any- one with the same feeling may develop it, bringing out the best in human nature. The guild is catering to the aesthetic side of humanity, too often lost sight of in these days. And with the proper development of our aesthe- tic selves we are passing to future generation valuable inheritance besides doing ourselves a favor that some day will, perhaps, make of us a better member of contemporaneous society. may classified as a 80 up to a HUMOR IN COURT. A perusal of the account of a case hefore Justice Roche Saturday, where the defendant, accused violating the city ordinance requiring the re- moval and ice from side- walks, acted as his own attorney, re- minds of two axioms pertaining to the law which may be quite at var- jance with each other. It is said that if an attorney is able to laugh in court his client will suffer no whatever have com- of of snow create a for to serious consequences wrong he is alleged mitted. In the case Yquestion it would seem that the defendant had a smile on the prosecuting attorney, if not a “laugh on him.” The picture of the defendant questioning himself serious- ly, calling himself by name as he ex- amined himself as his own witness, asking his own wife if she were his wife and looking apparently satisfied when she replied in the affirmative, is a pieture which would not be rel- ished by one trying earnestly to pun- kish the defendant for failing to keep his sidewalk in proper condition. That appreciated the situation is shown by his willingness to alter his attitude and allow the de- fendant, instead of displaying his dual personality, to make a general state- which he wished in the able prosecutor to show. It is difficult to punish a man se- verely after he has amused you by a mands sought to be made against his interests. The defendant in this case was fined two dollars, but probably the he had was worth that amount to him. And, with due re- spect to the conscientious prosecutor, it may be sald that hereafter there may be less insistence upon the ob- servance of the strict technicalities of the introduction of evidence. strict observance of technical de- fun OLD CHAINS, Chains of oid tradition, thought, some men old manner bind when those chains were bright.

Half a century ago the thought of participating in such a conference in Furope, where the affairs of Europe might be discussed before the eyes of men the United States, would have seemed | terrible and entirely Today the thought brings a shudder to the monds of men who while vitally allve to the situation of the day and full of knowledge of the facts, are in- | fluenced subconsciously by the habit of thought of years ago—thoughts of their own, or thoughts of men whom they have followed. Possibly President Harding sees the faint light of the understanding of the inevitableness of the participation of the United States in affairs of the world, dangerous or safa. Possibly in | his campaign for the Presidency, and | his refusal to avoid entirely the sub- ject of a possible ‘“‘closer association he was inspired merely by the knowl- edge that the idea of “isolation" wa repulsive to the people at large. But the trouble is with the Presi- dent in this' matter of attendance at the Genoa conference, that he is not sure enough that he does sce that light, or clse he is too timid to pro- his perception and insist that such inevitable participa- tion in t he world discussions had better be begun at once. Such men as Senator lLodge and those who follow him, unconsciously perhaps, while possessing keen minds and splendid knowledge of world affairs— far more than many who criticize them—are, nevertheless, bound by old chains. They are reactionaries by na- ture, try as they may to throw off the influence of the past. And they lead; their opinions are given the weight which should be accorded opinions of wise men. But the taint of old habit of thought is there held fast by hu- man inability to eradicate it. Today it is the opinion of the best authorities reporting the Washington situation that it was President Hard- ing's personal wish to have the United States represented at Genoa. The ag- ricultural interests have declared their belief in the necessity of the United States taking a more prom- inent part sting the world’s economic affairs. The financial inter- £sts favor such position—and the interests, often opposed to the peo- ple's, are the people's interests in this because they must be. The I'resident is ‘“considering” the invi- tation to Genoa. If he fails to take a strong stand, to throw off the chains, and if he listens to the advice of those of his Cabinet and Senate friends who are unwilling to see the step taken, he will be postponing the day, sure to come, when the United States must step forward courageously, sure of it- self, and not fear to join the world of which it is such a prominent part. If we do not throw off our own chains voluntarily, the way we want to, circumstances may drag them from us in a way we do not like s0 well. needless, claim matter in HIGHER VALUATIONS.
