Those interested in the complexion of the political map feel like singing, old hymn, and then, sublime to the the ridiculous, Roraback own, The ggested today, the magnificent “How Firm a Foundation,” turning from the something approaching commenting that J. Her seems to have held his tint of the “ridiculous” by the fact that such importance is placed on the chairmanship of any political party committee. Both great over-esti- v parties are guilty, not of mating the importance of the position which Mr. Roraback seems to have retained, for the power of the posi- tlon is acknowledged, but rather in failing to see that the people are growing to feel concerned over the fact that the chairman of the party committee has such power. The vot- ers are beginning to be jealous of the power which they should possess but which has them under the present system of party rule. In Connecticut, more, perhaps than in any state in the union, it is diffi- cult to “change things.” Connecticut and conservatism, politically in other things, are almost synonymous. When “‘Republican” is added to “Connecticut” the combination gives added emphasls to conservatism. It implies nothing against Mr. Roraback to say ‘that it would take a rather hectlc upheaval to dethrone chairman of the republican committee in this state chairman had been entrenched long and so firmly. Our own Mr. Quigley, estimable man of ideas that . he may be, will discover how very hard it is to kick successfully against . the pricks no matter how they prick. And this is by no means saying that there should be no kicking and that a successful kick might not do good.

Henry Ford always makes it appear that he wants to play fair with people who work for him, and with people generally. But there tomes the sus- piclon that, because he does feel a bit that way, and feel it honestly, it is very easy for him to convince himself he s doing something for the “dear peepul” which incidentally, of course—gives out the aroma of a foxy business move. Mr, Ford is firm in the conviction, it is sald, that for him to pay increased | prices for coal at this time would have the effect of keeping coal costs up at | the expense of the manufacturers and the householders of the country, So, because he wouldn't for the world be & party to helping to bring this dis- aster upon manufacturers and householders—especially the house- holders, mark you, who have votes— he allows it to be known that he must close his plants although he has more orders than he can fill. Incidentally the he allows the knowledge of the vast- | ness of his enterprise to go the number of men he employs and the numbers practically dependent upon, him. One Hoover, Herbert—Secretary of Commerce of the United States—re- marks casually that should Mr., Ford buy coal at present prices each Ford forth, automobile would cost §1.50 more to manufacture than it does at present. Mr. Hoover refrains from commenting on the fact, probably deeming it sufi- clently obvious for intelligent people &~ pote, that manufacturers other news pub- some | incidentally—merely | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUS 89, 1922, THE GREAT AMERICAN — than Mr, Ford are having their profite reduced because of the present price and yet they, these other | manufacturers, see the general harm that wewld come were they all to ghut plants, Mr of coal down their Hoover, and others, refrain | 1t 18 a poor time to throw some worlk in order to protest 70,000 | men out of against the high prices of coal; that it would be a poor time for all manu- facturers to throw all their men out of work in order to make that protest that the people of the would prefer to along, a bit [ east with & job which keeps bringing in W, rather than to sit by the empty stove, idle, and watch the price of coal go down as a result of Mr. However, there is hope. The news of the vastness of Mr, IFord's business ind the number of orders he has on his books having leaked out as the result of Mr. Ford's action *for the lear peepul,” it is possible that Mr. Ford will reconsider his plan—it will be remembered he reconsidered his intention to “‘get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas"—and will not close his plant. The statement that he will close has now been qualified by the phrase “unless the Ford Motor Co. receives coal from an unexpected source,” the words having emanated from Mr. Ford's office. One might even hazard the guess that the Ford not close September 16 the effectual; country cold, perhaps, but at gome cas Ford's protest plants wil But Mr., Ford will have shown people how he considers their interest. FOOTBALL. Notices are appearing of the calling together of those interested in foot- ball to make arrangements for the approaching season. Young men are planning to, are going back to college early, or are already there, that they may get a good start in training for the season, Everywhere football is being discussed, its interest talked over by the younger people, its dan- gers contemplated by the older ones who happen to be parents with sons of football age and football inclina- tions. Allowing boys to play football, or prohibiting them from indulging in the game, i{s essentially a personal matter with parents, quite as allow- ing them to play cards, to smoke or dance is something that parents should, and will, settle for themselves as far as they are able, At least it is a personal matter between parents and sons. The time has not arrived it is believed, when there must be an annual discussion as to the dvisability of daughters indulging in the game. But in considering this matter there is no harm in suggesting that the spirit of the age and the present day tendencies toward less hardy pleas- ures than were customary years ago, | might be considered as affecting the situation. A parent has a perfect right to discourage a son from giving his surplus energy to football, and allowing that energy to find the vent which must be found in something, in joy-riding, dancing until all hours of the morning, meeting with others whose interest does not lie in athletic directions but who prefer, perhaps, to sit up late over a game of “all jack-pots, with a whangdoodle at the end—or a round of whangdoodies.” That is a parent's business; no one should Or a parent prefer to encourage the son in going into football with all his heart; encourage him to observe strict train- ing that he may excel in the game— and strict training means cutting out late dancing, card playing until early in the morning, and all kindred amusements, These things are for parents to decide and they will weigh wisely the danger of the dear boy's suffering a broken leg or or having his beauty spoiled by some fellow whom runs up in the game, against the danger of cultivating habits which, of course, weaken him physically and but in the indulgence of which his tender body will remain secure any sort of physical vet, interfere. a may may arm rough he against mentally, against violence. Let no one advise a parent as to not the boy shall be allowed to play football. whether or THE BAND CONCERTS. Recently the suggestion was made in these columns that it would not be a bad idea if people maintained some sort of order at the band in Walnut Hill park. It was merely a suggestion made with full realiza- tion that many people found enjoy- ment in taking things easy up there while the band played, and that no cold, wet disapproval should be thrown over people having a good time in their own way, An item of news from Rochester, Y., tells of the coming opening of a theater the aim of will be to educate people in music. The two thoughts may be brought into the same channel, especially in connec- | tion with the remarks of the donor of the money which makes this the- | ater possible. The people who listen to the music in the park do not make up a perfect As that audience improves, s0 will the bands which play to that audience improve, Tt is difficult for musiclans to give their best to an which fafls to show appreciation, by silent listening, to their playing. It is difficu't, too, for an audience to remain silent when its members do not like the music furnished by the concerts blanket of which musical audience. from suggesting that | struggle audfence | musiclans. audiences prove and the bands which have been giving such pleasure this summer will Let the | improve--and vice versa, In the light of this suggestion the words of the man above referred to, are interesting. “1 have come to see,” he says, “that what we need is a body of trained llsteners quite as mguch as a body of trained performers, Without appre- clation, without the presence of a large body of people who understand music and who get joy out of it, any attempt to develop the musical re- sources of any city is doomed to faflure," The band concerts at Walnut Hill park are not designed to be educa- tional, But they would be better concerts, the people would enjoy them more, and the musiclans would be able to take more pleasure in their playing, if the joy displayed by the audience was not absolutely *“‘uncon- fined". “NO STRIKEBREAKERS". The rabid, old-time capitalist, aus- tere, autocratic, pictures perhaps the laboring man as a strong, violent per- son, able to do a lot of work and fitted for little else. He never thinks of him as possessing human sensi- bilitles, sympathies, hopes, ambitions. He considers all laborers radicals who would commit any acts of violence in order to galn their ends. The radical among laboring men pictures the capitalist as mean, grasp- ing, incapable of doing an ‘“honest day's work” but profiteering by the labor of others. He never thinks of him as charitable, sympathetic, or possessing a desire to play fair. He believes he would crush the working man under his heel in order to gain his ends. These are the two extremes. There are laboring men who violent. There are capitalists who are mean and grasping. But the average run of members of both classes are human heings governed by the same human emotions. The average working man and the average capitalist like the same characteristics in others, they admire courage, fairness, nobility of character. They hate meanness, cow- ardice, ignoble traits. And, in their secret hearts, neither has much use for the ‘professional strikebreaker.” Capital has employed him when threatened with financial loss—and capital has not been proud of ft. But the present railroad strike has developed an unique situation and has brought strange words into the adver- tisements of capital. Today, as the final word in an advertisement calling for men to work on the raiiroad in New York State, is the statement: “No professional strikebreakers need apply.” Consider these words well, those who insist that the railroads are conducting a campaign only to de- stroy unionism—a campaign against organized labor. are Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILLEN).

PROJECTOR T0 PUT LIFE INTO MOVIES Barnett W, Harris, Director, Dis- plays Invention to Better Pictures Chicago, Aug. 30.—An Invention to put life in moving pictures was dis- played yesterday before scientific men by Barnett W. Harris, a movie direct- or. This invention is to take the flat- ness out of moving pictures. The new effect is accomplished with standard motion picture machin- ery, minor changés being incorporated in the new projector. The important steps, according to Harris, occurred in the use by audiences of instru- ments patterned after the old fashioned stereoscopes, adjusted to distances. Use Two Cameras. The picture {s taken with two cam- eras, set in positions corresponding to the right and left eye. In the de- velopment, the two flims are double- printed on one fllm. In its projec- tion, this fllm is run through a ma- chine with a double aperture, which throws two images on the screen, one above the other, the upper one being the reproduction of the film taken hy the camera, representing the right eve and the lower that representing the left. The instruments have for eye-pieces prisms arranged so as to reflect the light rays from the upper picture to the right eye and the rays from the lower picture to the left, The two combine on the principle of the old stereoscope to show one picture, giv- And so they would make policemen | ing the sense of depth. Make Them One, Mr. Harris said he would incorpo- rate the two cameras into one, with two lenses and two films and prom- ised that before the first public show- ing he would have a color process perfected, Among those witnessing the dis- play were two scientists—Prof. F, R. Moulton and Prof. W. D. MacMillan of the University of Chicago. “The great thing has happened,” said Prof. Moulton. “The first.great change in the motion picture has been brought about by Mr. Harris. All the motion picture houses will need when the process is introduced will be a phonograph attachment to make motion pictures the equal of the stage.” Prof. MacMillan echoed Prof. Moul- ton's sentiment, . -~ 25 Years Ago oday (Taken from Herald of that date) The road commissioned has re- ceived many complaints that the men employed on macadamizing Stanley street were drinking beer during their working hours and behaving badly.

OLD STONE WRITINGS Scientists Make Di;corery,m Ireland on Site of One of Earliest Christian Monasteries. Belfast, Aug. 30.—The site of -one of the earliest Christian’ mnonasteries in Ireland has been found at Mahee Island, Strangford Lough, near Bel- fast. The ruins have been identified as those of Nendrum monastery, men- tioned in Muircha's “Life of St. Pat- rick,” written before 699 A. D. Extensive excavations have been carried out and valuable material, in- cluding some stones with writing, the exact meaning of which has not yet been ascertained, have been unearth- ed. Some of the writings are believ- d to be of Danish origin. In Gede's ‘Ecclesiastical Histor: it is recorded that in 634 Pope Hon- orfus wrote to certain hishops of the Irish Church about the Paschal con- troversy and Pelagian heresy, and one of the bishops mentioned in this let- ter is Cromous, bishop of Nendrum. The island of Nendrum was after- wards named Mahee, after a bishop of the monastery. ABDUCTION CHARGED. Girl—Fifteen—First Clears Man and Later Makes Serious Charge. Suffern, N.
