I'rance is not especlally anxious, at the moment, to have any- one trouble her or interfere But the Liberal party in to the actions of Bonar Law is u bit indifferéht, has harmonized the differences within itself and de- cided to go on record as wanting to do something to things in Europe. It has that a person by the name of Hughes, hold- ing the office of Secretary of State of Union of Do T, approve Thus it not as in “1 to quite which settle discovered a somewhat important States across the ocean from Iing- land, indicated some time that those United States would be glad to Jjoin in trying to about such settlement if the invitation were forthcoming. Liberal party in England has recorded itself as wanting to aid in safeguarding the peace of Europe and arranging for reparations and the Liberals now remember Hughes suggestion, and cry “Why not?” The answer is plain. There is good reason why the administration of the United States will not greet the proposal that America be asied to aid in this discussion of the repa- rations matter, for the Liberals have suggested that the of the League of Nations appoint a commis- sion of experts to report on the ca- pacity of Germany to pay reparations and upon the best method of effect- ing such payments and that “in view of the recent indications of willing- ness on the flart ot the Government of the United States of America to participate in a conference to thig end, the British representative on the Council of the League be instructed to urge that an invitation ex- tended to the American government to appoint experts to serve upon the Commission.” The Liberals in England should re- member that the League of Nations still bears the taint of the Demo- cratic party, headed by one Woodrow Wilson. The present “American Gov- ernment” would have nothing to do with any invitation ‘coming from a member of any body of the League of Nations. What's in name? Well, enough’s in that name to prevent the acceptance the present administration of plan suggested or inspired by anyone any body who or which connects the suggestion, even remotely, with that League of Nations. Try something else, gentlemen of the Liberal party— or wait until that time comes when the practical advantage of the Leagne {deal is recognized by an administra- tion not afraid of the word “League.” ugo bring proper So the payment, the a Councii be such a by any or AND ABROAD. | WORKERS HERFE Statistics from Washington tend to show that one coal in this country produces as much in a day as three miners in Great Britain'si coal industry, but almost twice as| many miners are Kkilled here England, and three times as are hurt. Figuses are given to sus-| tain these facts, such as those show- | ing that one-third more miners are employed Engiand than while the coal produced there is less than one-hall that taken from the ground in this slightly | more than one man every | 1,000 is hurt in while | nearly four men in in- Jured here. There is every rcason to that the ratio of ability of workers in_this country in every field of manual labor is about the same as that of the coal industry. Thus we; may believe that workmen here are | three times as productive as work- men in England—three times as valuable to their employers, in other - words. Workmen and employers, “maturally, will take pride in this fact, but there is more information than| miner as in many in here, country. out of England, 1,000 are believe | | order | tense—and better thas eoal ngii winers re workmes of our But & may well men, for many are ot Americans inspires An our of & continuance of that high rate Englishman, geing 1o work would haye in the production speed eoal mines, for instanes to speed up and produce three times Engiand And so de The rate s others Amer: Americans did much as he did in 10 his own men of other nations rate and when tiwy as the the Americar are in America do as icans do—or whe set that rate It bred English miners are occupation through several g They are min- they expeet 1o bhe miners always, expeet to bhe It is quite probable that, in A miner knows that his owners or knowledge production ambition, while the hopelessness the Tritish miner tends to keep him working just hard hold job and ne is said that 1o the erations ors and they their sons iners. because e anything: this eountry he may be mine this greater sons may hecome railway presidents, moves them to spurred on by of enough to his harder The is seen tragic aspect of these statisties in the great percentage of deaths and aceidents, It is well that these figures be known-—injury to nimonst ers, and death to twice as many miners here as in England—in order that support may be given to all measures suggested that will bring » greater degree of safety to these men who labor beneath the ground, AT LAST If there is any good reason why the House should not approve the Norris resolution regarding the more prompt meeting of Congress and inauguration of the President after election, as the has done, it is yet to be discov- ered. The Norris resolution provides that Congress shall mect on the first Monday in January instead of eleven months later, after many of the peo- ple who voted have forgotten all \bout election, and it provides for the inauguration of the President on the third Monday in January instead of in Mareh. Why this change from the plan ar- ranged some 235 years ago has not heen made is one of the un- fathomable mysteries of the country. [iveryone is familiar with the reasons obtaining when the date for Congress to sit and for the inauguration of a president, was set. Slow counting of returns, slow transportation—and all the rest of it. But today, of course, when election bets are paid within 48 hours the votes are cast, and when President-elect could take little jaunt to Furope and back inside of two weeks, allowing time for him to stop on the other side and have a congratulatory chat with the King of Ingland if so dis- sed, those old no longer Aenate before after a reasons And while we are about it we might express thc hope that when presidents are elected by a recording of automatically by thought- transference, and when newly-clected members of congress may speed to Washington by airplane before breakfast, we hope that even the length of time planned by the Norris will net be used or mis- used before the new regime gets to work—if there remains, in that day, any work for it to do. votes resolution A TRAGEDY, “The boys who are 12 and 13 years of age will be arraigned in juvenile court.” This sentence, taken from the day's news, a picture of the scene of a tragedy. It might made making it read, “The girls, 13 years of age, will appear in court.” The point here made is not one of eritic tem by which young offenders must be taken to court. It it not argued that they must not be shown the of- no personal is intended. The tragedy the tact that hoys and girls do grow up without learning, just as thoroughly as they learn to walk, the inviolabil- ity of the right to personal property possessed by everyone. Children do not learn not by being taught from books. The lessons im- pressed upon children most effectively do not come from words spoken to them. A child does not learn to use profanity or filthy language because evil-minded teaches that child to talk that way. A child bad habits from association, from what The things that he learns in this way are the things that become «As a child does not learn to swear because -he is taught to swear, 0 he does not learn to steal because he is taught to steal. He learas to steal because he sees about him greed, a disregard for the property of others, deceit, careless- ness in the small matters of honesty and square dealing.

LGS R ACE WHEELS We are delighted to learn that it was probably an American, not @ German who invented the first auto. mobiles with legs instead of wheels, We are glad beeause this is a distinet achievement, There are many things ahout the thought of an automobile with legs instead of wheels that please, Automobiles with wheels have pulled our legs many times; we could never get back at the pesky things, Now we can. The game won't be so one.sided, What could be more satisfactory than getting back at a’ car for the numerous times it has pulled our leg for gas, for instance, by pulling its leg ourselves and pull. ing it good and proper, Again; how satisfying it would be to be able to remark to the automo- bile, quite properly, when we wish to go faster: “Shake a leg, there!" And when we want to make a properly scathing remark about the automo- bile of an enemy, how appropriate would be our declaration that our enemy’s car “hasn't got a leg to stand on!" But probably the best thing about the new automobile which has legs instead of wheels will be evident when it comes into common use. When that happy day arrives our dear friends the prohibition agents will have no difficulty, if they will study the legs of sing car, in determining whether or not the automobile carrying a load of hootef® is T-—-— e i25 Years Ago Today t(TAken trom Herald of that dute) e s Newington is debating whether the town shall vote at the special town meeting called for Saturday afternoon to have located in that town a home for crippled and incurable children.

In the senate a protest in vigorous words was given by Senator Brooks against “unnecessary haste” in adopt- ing the bill creating the town court of West Hartford. He protested yes- terday and followed it up today be- cause there seemed to be a prospect that other bills were to be put through under suspension of the rules, Brooks Carries Point. later, when the house seat up a bill amending the charter of the Staf- ford Springs court, Senator Brooks made protest against adoption of measures under suspension of the rules. A vote to suspend the rules showed only Senators Wilder and Park in favor, and the rest against. When the bill came up from the house amending the charter of the Manchester Court Senator Brooks again protested and carried his point by the same vote.

Joe Cannon, in the course of the lebate, rose and JOHNSON said: “I've heard a lot of sound and fury; in my time, but the most impressive sound in my experience is the sound of a little bunch of western congress- imen making a noise like a majority.” COMMUNICATED. kditor New Britain Herald, Without a doubt a great many agree with “A Workingman” communication as per your issue last Eddy.

Yes, why pay the superintendent of schools six thousand dollars? Many a better fitted person for the position is available at a less figure. Why was he allowed to resume his position when he all but resigned some few months ago, (ready to quit our schools) when he thought he was in line for another position, but which “job” did not materialize. That was the time to have placed his resignation on file and accepted. ANOTHER TAXPAYER.

I wonder if he is the kind that gets 20c an hour and thinks that a man that gets 26c an hour, has got a pull? 1 will bet that because he does not 1 get along well he does not want others to.
