Practieally everyone| took it for granted this means would | be adopted. The people of New Brit. ain have conducted and won their ficht with this end in view. Any other plan would bhe unjust and would be | taking back a promise authoritatively | made. The position of the people at that meeting tomorrow may well be “We | accept the original plan of bridging | the crossing and we thank you who made this decision.” Tt is important | that the public utilities commission be | impressed with the fact that any plan | suggested which does not bridge this crossing would be unfair to the people who have such a vital interest in the matter. ADVERTISING CONNECTICUT Tt would be a great pity to let the | chance pass that would come with the | attendance energetic, _\'r\\'j Britain representatives at the "Um)sl‘ Connecticut” luncheon to be held February 13. The avowed purpose of | the luncheon is to get men-together | who will be interested in formulating | plans to advertise Connecticut as an industrial and tourist center. Of course the hotel men of the state are inter- ested, and one of them is to be the host at the luncheon. But everyone else in business in the state is inter- ested as well, for proper advertising of the state—and it would be “truth- | ful advertising, too—would benefit all.

THE BRITISH DI The British cabinet has offe! acceptgwhat is Secretary of the " ury Mellon's plan for the refunding of England's war debt to us. It is not within the terms authorized Congress a year ago, but those terms have been pronounced impossible even by their former advocates in the Senate. More important, practically, than the amount of money involved by is that a settlement should be reach- | ed. It is of tremendous importance both to England and to the United States that this matter be put aside among the few questions that do not require constant discussion. It is of _tremendous importance that no con- stant bickerings place this country and England among the economically warring nations. 4 | rather because the decisions of The ap- aet that Chief Justice nol the administration stiil has infin. | sueceed Justice Pitney, retived. ugh Washington 1o bring | e8iy eriticism of that nemination L some one sceomplishment.

But this is not a discussion of | the 18th amendment. Authorities tell us that innumerable | children are made ill-tempered and ignorant because they are growing up under a constant fusillade of “don'ts.” They hear the word so often that it | soon means nothing to them. In some | quarters it is the popular method of | address to children. Some parents,| anxious to say something, turn happily to the child and, no matter what the| small bit of humanity is doing, they shout “don’t,” rather on general prin- ciples. | And the “don't” habit is growing. People honestly wishing to make the| world better think that they must try to digcover some new thing grown-up children deing—and we are all merely grown-up children—so that| they may have the pleasure of yeliing | “don’t” at them., Such “donters” are | quite apt to gelect habit in| which they do not indulge as the sub- ject of their * discourse, of course. Many of the things they do are not| attractive to others, but it does not occur to them that they might mum-ri a “don’t” directly to thems: If this habit of suggesting new s confined to more or less nt reformers, little harm would | be done and they might be smiled at | charitably. But it seems to have taken hold of people in authority. The con- stitutional rights of people to lif liberty and the pursuit of happiness, lies behind a screen in front of the eyes of these “donters.” They cannot see those rights. Nothing seems to be It is time to suggest that be- are some sacred. fore we become a pcople of lost il\-1 dividuality, “donted” out of all initia- tive and enjoyment of life, we stop to think, before favoring any ‘‘don’t” move, whether or not the prohibitive word should be uttered and if it should then whether or not the move- ment has selected the right source from which that “don't” should come. it | THE SUPREME COURT States Supreme Court The United should be made up of men who think independently, men whose reasoning such that except those of equal natural and like legal education will to forecast what their decisions will be.
