If there were any ulterior motive behind it, it was to be denounced. It was stated that no matters should beéMbrought up relating to politics within the different service men's or- ganizations. The Butterworth case was cited as an example. Apparently there were no service men'’s organization politics brought up. Captain Lockhart, who was one of the two to bring the injunction proceed- ings against I'rank Butterworth to re- train him from drawing a salary for administering the state fund, did not refer to that matter. The exact danger that was sought to be guarded against did not materialize. But something else did materialize. The candidacy of former mayor Quig- ley for the nomination for the mayor alty was endorsed. The Herald did not dream that the occasfon of the gathering of ex-service men would be taken advantage of for political purposes outside the affairs of service men. The action taken was more dangerous than anything against which the editorial warned. The Herald did not dream that it was encouraging ex-service men to at- tend a meeting which would develop into an occasion for the promoting of the candidacy of former Mayor Quig- ley tor the nomination for mayor, or for the promoting of the candidacy of Mayor Curtis, Joseph Halloran or of anyone else, The political gathering was held af- ter former Mayor Quigley and Captain Lockhart had left the room, is the report. Both may have been entirely ignorant of the intention of others to suggest that the candidacy of Mr. Quigley be endorsed. The action may have been entirely spontaneous. If Mr. Quigley was surprised by the action taken; if he or his friends had nothing to do with the action taken, and did not countenance any plan to in thus subvert the published purpose of | the meeting, he would not lose friends by making public that fact. If Mr. Quigley or his friends did know of the plan or did instigate the plan, directly or indirectly, the affair comes under the sentence in the edi- torial referred to whiclt stated the such ulterior motive should be de- nounced. JAZZ Much of what purported to be hu- mor has bheen inspired by the preval- ence of “jazz.’ The term has come to be applied not only to "_mzi“ alleged musie, hut to everything wherein jazz plays a part, cabarets, some dances, some sort of “partics” certain drives and other so-callcd amusements, A Jocal man d yesterday, glanc- ing at a poster; “kverybody seems sort of wild, fhese Look at that poster, They're getting out a lot of wild things, and a Jot of us are right om the ragged edge, Tt wouldn’t take days, much to push ug over,” A famous football coach a8 remarking: ‘“I'he rich the hoys with the moncy, do not go teams any fonger, The automobile, the cabaret, the jazz fs quoted men’s sons, out for the college given those kids to eries—all these have with 1 the oodles ot something them company money them In to shine and of the days if you wanted ladies, you football interested put 1he fair pex, old were a basebail with tie Jluyer or u player or an 1 But not today,’ much truth what that in the the “Shining with ladies” not be a young man's only goal, it 1f the same athlete of standing, There 1s n remark the man said and of local man should is. he often can give physi Lut too “shine” and at time himself pleasure without undue it natural of rugged practices. cal exertion is quite for many 1o this manner life to the old, more prefes A pessimist would say (his situation is the older men of the greater freedom of reaction npon young mex and indge by wha the women and girls.

Imagine, if one may, the discovery, far away, of a new flower, The press might be fllled with accounts of its beauty and fragrance, All the fine things possible to write of it might be the news of the discovery scattered over the country. Curiosity might be arpused, and people with plenty of money might be in- clined to visit the spot where there had been discovered this new species of flower. Wealthy youths might think that, after having seen it and having found that it was in fact as beautiful and sweet as pictured, they would like to secure one of the rare flowers to present to some greatly ad- mired girl or woman, But suppose such a name as ‘“Re- volting Runt" were given to the new flower. How many people would be interested? There might be some curiously inclined people who would want to see it. But the name would rob the rose of much of its attractive- ness were that name to be given to it before it had been seen, before it had delighted the world with its aroma. Most people Britain have not seen the hospital where tubercu- losis is treated. The hospital starts with a handicap. The fact that it is a hospital suggests that it would not Add to this a picture A will smell rose ne sweet, s true. name take were put in words and in New be an attractive place. “Isolation” lonely depression is presented to the name and of the eye. 1t is satisfactory to lowing a suggestion made columns last Monday the name of the hospital has been changed. The board calls it “Rocky Hill Sanitarium.” This name at least removes the idea of loneliness. It has a rugged strength which suggests to the under-conscious mind the strength that may be gained there. It suggests high ground and pure air, TI#® change of name is an improvement most decidedly. The hospital, like the imagined un- discovered It is wise not to handicap it by a name the mention of which has formerly brought an unpleasant feeling. “"Rocky Hill Sanitarbum’ suggests health and strength. May many find strength there! note that fol- in these rose is a new thing. ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL COURT A Dbill has been introduced in the New York State Legislature providing for judicial settlement of disputes be- tween capital and labor. ment is modeled after the Kansas In- dustrial court and is planned to pro- tect the public against discord between capital and labor, including strikes, in all industries producing essentials to the everyday welfare, The Industrial Relations Court Kansas has been on trial for some time. At the last election every candi- date standing on the platform which favored a continuation ol that court including Governor Allen, was elected. The people of the state are strongly in favor of the court, It has made de- cisions In favor of labor and in favor of capital, Workmen been re- strained from doing as they would, and smployers have been compelled to do as the court believed they should do. The lessons learned from the experi- ences of the Kansas should prove valuable to thie New York court in have court if the bill passes and such court is established, There fs grave danger of carrylng government by bureaucracy too {far, This danger shouid borne in the mind when any innovation is syggest- ed, however, that the matter of such a gourt is outside the boundaries of this tendency, Were it for the feeling that any further iimita- tion on the freedom of people in this country should be dangerous, it might be It would seem, of the establishment unwise not unhesitatingly that the plan should be tried, in the face of the conviction that such | further limitation of persenal liberty be said ven as things are, “m\[zhl he attended by discord in other | directions, it is believed the Industrial in New York State outweighing Itelations court would bring advantages {any evil results that might come, Cer- tainly Connecticut would like to see it New York tried in STPTS emphasizing day, POSTAL REC of op- is The thmism {not something to nod the head over land then forget ail about.

People have been worrying a lot about having us represented at Genoa. They have resented the idea of a man from this country sitting | down beside a lot of long haired, fan- | tastically clad Soviets, unkempt, ig- norant and quite possibly unshaven. The {dea of treating with men mmi! “with the belief that they have won wonderful power, that they are rep- resentatives of a nation destined to be the greatest on the face of the earth —that they are inspired by a new idea which will bring happiness, pleasure and profit to all, and this, without work or worry—these ideas have trouhled people of this country. It is possible to assure such per- sons that the news of the day makes it known that they need be troubled no ionger.. They may put away from their minds the thought of a repre- | sentative of this country being con- taminated hy assoclation with such terrible persons as the Soviet dele- gates are reported to be. They need fear no longer lest our representa- tive might learn, and, learning, bring back to this country with him, the beauties of long hair, unshaven face, unkempt hair, Sights of such per- sons will not becloud the brain of onr representative, 1t one, He will not be tainted by a tendendy to s, we send looseness of dre Ior theg command has gone forth, authoritative report instrue- according to an from Moscow, that special (fons have been issued Lo the Russlan Soviet delegates the Genoa con- ference that leather Jackets and top- discarded when they conference—and that to must be start for the long hair shall be trimmed. hoots So it's all right.

There is nothing remarkable in the fact that Bgypt kept the dead on an honor roll. I.ots of houses keep dead one on the pay roll. Tn view of all the trouble China has had keeping the wolf from the door, it requires considerable nerve to ask her to keep the door open. Typographical errors are so com- mon; and it may be that when the papers sald Nero fiddled while Rome burned, they meant only that he was fuddied. 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) Plans and estimates have been pre- sented to the school hoard for build- ing four new rooms to the East street fnstitution.

Washington, Feb. 9—Passage by the senate yesterday of the house co- operative marketing bill by a vote of 58 to 1 was viewed by many today as the most sweeping victory yet attain- ed by the farm bloc. The siogle opposing vote on the bill in the senate was cast by Senator Gerry, democrat, Rhode fsland. The votes of two other senators, Brande- gee, republican, Conn., and King, democrat, (‘tah, who were paired against *the bill, were withheld. The measure now goes fo confer- ence for adjustment of differences with the house. Greenland was dlscovered and named about the end of the fenth cen- tury by a Norseman. Whistling, say gome physicians, will help develop a robust physique.
