When the last session of congress opened a proud, “promising”, and somewhat presuming group of men gathered triumphantly to lift the country out of the slough of despond into which the horrible Democrats | bhad plunged it. Their remedies would work wonders in short order. | Yesterday that same group gath- ered,y their collective tail between their composite legs, in a way, much rebuked, much humiliated. They had, not done the things they ought to have done and.they had done things they ought not to have done. More- | over the country had told them 50 | quite plainly. They saw shadows of strange forms falling across the | floor—forms of weird creatures, known as “radicals”, who would come ; soon to replace them. They saw no future meeting of groups into two dis- tinct divisions, the Republicans and the Democrats. They foresaw mapy | groups and blocs and many individ- . uals separating themselves from any | group at all and saying strange, wlldi words that partake of heresy. 1 This shadow of what is to come already influences the men ‘in Wash- ington now. If there is to be any] distinct dividing line it will be lhat; which will separate the conservatives from the group which its enemies will call “radical”, its friends ‘‘pro- gressive”. ' And in each of these divi- sions will be individuals who will| refuse to sink their identity into that of the division to which they belong. More than ever before individual!} thinking on the part of the peop\o‘a" representatives is going to influence this country. THE LAUSANNE PARLEY. The opening session of the Lau-| sanne Conference lasted 17 minutes, | during which time there was no ex- pression save hope of harmony and | “A Treaty by Christmas.” The open- | ing session of congress’ here took a few minutes less to conclude its flrsti business. There is as much hope of | a satisfactory treaty with the Turks| by Christmas as there is of satisfac- | tory work being done by congress in this session or as there was of Henry Yord's getting “the boys out of the trenches by Christmas.” i *Certainly it disorganizes things to have a new man get into this diplo- matic . game. There are evidences that Italy's new Prémier is going to be a disorganizer. But the question is the samec in these world affairs as | it is in our own congress—will it not be better, perhaps, to have a bit of | disorganizing since the methods of the past have proven so futile? There is little satisfaction, however, in the prospect of Mussolini breaking the solid front the allies were about to present to the Turks. France has come around to England’'s point of view: because Peincare sees the pro- Turk feeling at home is not as strong as he figured it, and because France needs England just now. Mussolini | is in the position of a man of whom | of the amendment to the state legisla- Like some politi- | tures to get it out of congress, much is expected, cians 1n our country, or city for that} matter, he has ‘got to do some- thing.” Above all he intends to insist on Italy's dignity; his insistence on Italy’s retention of the Dodecanese Islands is an outward sign of this| attitudg, The real matter of the conference is to arrange a treaty between the Turks, as represented by the Kemal- | ists, and Greece and the complete | freedom of the strait the Dar- danelles. Ag to this last there seems | to be little hope. No paper arrange- | ment can take from the Turks the power they have over those straits if, they insist upon using it. Only for- cible occupation and guarding of them would do this, and to this, cer- tainly, Turkey will not consent. Nor will the allies go to war to obtain it. of “NEWBERRY ‘R Truman H. Newberry's tion” from the United States Senate was, rather, a bowing to the inevitable verdict of the people. Whether his right to a seat in the Senate had been technically established, or whether that ‘‘right” was acknowledged be- cause of partisan influence, makes lit- tle difference. Whether he himself or only his fricnds were to blame makes little difference.

The people of the country are proud that such s the sentiment, Customary or unusual, the establishment of the pre- cedent of giving a man a seat in the Senate through such influence, where the facts were known as in the New- berry case, cannot be allowed. And pains should be taken that suck facts should become known. If Newberry | | were wrongfully convicted in the first | instance, the error was technical, This country s passing from the worship of the technivcal, of precedent, into @ broader vision that takes other influ- ences Into account. The brilllance of red tape is fading; new. paths are being beaten out of tradition's ‘deep highway. Newberry would not resign from the Senate, although advised to do 8o, while "“under. fire.” Now he resigns, fleeing from being continually “ham- | pered by partisan political persecu- tion." His presence in the Senate has | ceralnly “hampered” the Senate in the taint his seating there and his support brought to that body. He money his public services, As fraud in a contract taints the whole contract with fraud, so Newberry in the Sen- ate tainted the whole Senate and brought suspicion upon it.

They do not‘ do these things consciously, with full| thought. And incidentally be is said some people do not do any of these things. i People keep clean and take care of themselves—those who do keep clean—because it has become a habit | with them. They were taught in| childhoéd to keep clean; they were l‘xp(-‘c!!‘(‘L(D keep 'clean; they got so that they were uncomfortable if they Now, when they are grown men and women, they keep clean from habit—the habit formed in childhood and continued ! because it was a comfort-bringing, | health-bringing and health-sustaining habit.

A child is apt to lay aside cleanliness when he or she leaves the school house— unless the matter is emphasized at home—quite as the child forgets all about school books until time to fake them up again. Children must be taught why it is good to keep clean, how to remember to keep clean, and how to keep clean. They should know why it'is good to leave their windows openat night to get the fresh air. They should be taught to teach their parents about it, if those! parents do not know and observe the | intelligent primary health rules. *There is agitation here at present concerr‘ng the teaching of health matters in schools. To fail to take notice of these matters is to take unfair advantage of the children who have a right to rely upon us to see to it that they learn; now, the things they should know and which will make them strong, clean, fine men and women in later life.

I do not think the prohibition amendment will be effective. You cannot make any CRERCIE ment which sees to its enforcement.” The last sentences of this quotation | are all-important. President Harding, | then Senator, emphasized the point| which the Herald, ignorant then of Senator Harding's statement, has em- phasized recently and which the Jour- nal-Courler, in the final paragraph of Ithe editorial referred fto, carries a { little farther than The Herald has! gone. “Public sentiment,” says the New ! Haven newspaper, s not back of the | law and will not be until public senti- | men has expressed itself in favor of it. | Hence its demonstrated fallure, Tyr- anny in any form will not be tolerated by the American people. The eight- eenth amendment and the enforce- ment act constitute a form of tyran- ny."” The Herald would modify this state- ment, or add to it, by declaring the belief that public sentiment is behind enforcing the law—any law, but pub- 1ing to find easy money. | a whist held with Mrs. Damon at her | | ors. | tion to the vision or to physicat*prog- Me sentiment is not behind it with such foree that it will demand the sort of enforcement that will enforce, Facts and Fancies (BY ROPERT QUILLEN), Only nine more days until Willie's stomach ache, little The silver lining of a cloud is on top.

Nickerson, local theatri- cal man, has gone to Holyoke on a visit. Rev. E. G. Hjerpe, pastor of the Swedish Bethany church, will be one of the speakers at the series of mis- sion meetings which opens in the Swedish Zion Congregational church| at Hartford this week. A snow storm set In this morning and started with great fury. Toward noon, however, it commenced to die down and in the evening the snow was entirely melted and there were| no signs of the flurry of the early| morning. Grand Sub-Chief Ranger William F. Delaney of the local Foresters gave | an address at the institution exercises of Court Beethoven, I*. of A., which| took place last evening. Mrs, George Rapelye carried off second honors yesterday afternoon at home on West Main street. The Baker Brothers of Plainville, entertajners, presented a pleasing program at Jr. O. U.'A. M. hall last evening. COMM_UNICAFED. Our Court of Honor. Editor of New Britain Herald. Every visit to the vicinity of the memorial to our soldier dead, at the entrance to Walnut Hill park has| emphasized the beauty of the senti- ment which placed it there. My first visit to it was on a Mark and drizzly Sunday, and quite cold, and yet, In spite of that, I Mngered more than an hour, in a train of impressions which, trowded upon me. KEach succeeding visit to the arch and double file of cenotaphs convinced me more and more, of the propriety and beauty, | and of the desirability of perpetuat-| ing those silent testimonials to the| valor of those who “Gave the last full measure of devotion” for something they cannot enjoy-—may not even | know. Mingled feelings of pride, | joy and pain possess me whenever 1 see or think of our tribute to our heroic and distant dead. We are alive and enjoying the good things. We have a beautiful and well shaded park which is a credit to our city and visited often by most of our people, and it is not too common. In my opinion our Soldiers’ monu- ment in City Hall square, though a fine piece of work, is so common as to be seldom noticed except by visit- To many it is but an obstruc- ress across the green, Objects of special import lose their power to make impressions of the right kind when they are too public or obtrusive.

As public parks go Walnut Hil park is seldom cqualled, and but rarely surpassed. It has its own peculiar qualities of position and ex- cellence which ought to commend it and cndear it to every citizen, Its entrance, from West Main street, up a gentle incline, slightly winding, with velvety green, fine trees and _ orna- mental shrubbery on either side is something enjoyable in itself; and 1 cannot think of a more appropriate place in all New Britain to maintain a memorial. One lady, in speaking of the monu- ment, said that the posts ought to be discontinued, that the entrance to a public park should not have too much the appearance of a cemetery; but 1 yet believe that the posts accentuate the impregsiveness of the memorial. If, as we enter our pleasure ground, our anticipated enjoyments are mo- mentarily tempered, the significancg of those silent posts will more fully, apgear. In life and death our brave hoys were bound by patriotism unsur- passed and, whether the designers of our court of honor intended it or not, the chakes festooned between arch and posts may be considered symbol- ical. The idea of the®present memo- rial is beautiful and the place is ideal but, in its present composition it is not enduring. To make it worthy and lasting is the object of this ap- peal. The entire thing could be done in concrete, or the arch could be of stone and the posts of concrete. Ulti- mately a poll of the entire population could be taken in the matter of the posts, ete.
