This was more than an academic question, as this part of the country was looked upon as something of a criterion by which the whole country might be judged. does not and Of course one swallow make a summer—or was it a robin to which the guy who made the wise crack referred—but when there are a lot of “one swallows" there comes the suggestion that that first one swallow knew what he was about. It is interesting to note that in New York, in the last year, the democratic | party gained 65,794 enrolled voters while the republican party lost some 137,921, After Al Smith's great vie- tory over one of the best governors New York state ever had these figures were to be expected in a measure, but all of the democratic gains did not come after Smith was nominated, nor did the republican losses come after that time. There can be but lit- tle doubt that those who saw, a year ago, a swing to the democratic standard had some basis for their reasoning. The suggestion of Pres- ident Harding that the United States join the World Court, and the en- thusiastic reception that suggestion has received over the country, does not tend to refute the idea that dem- ocratic ideas, especially in regard to our duty in regard to association with other nations, have failed to make a strong appeal. ST. MARK'S CHURCH The announcement of the consecra- tion of the St. Mark's church, but recently completed, set for April 25, brings a good omen other than the simple fact that another fine edifice to the worship of Consccration of such a build- it is free of is to be devoted God. ing cannot come until debt and this ceremony, fol- lowing so closely upon the comple- tion of the church is, to say the least, a sign that all is well with the ac- tivities which look beyond earthly things. While services have Dbeen held regularly in the new church for some timg, its full material beauty as it will be when the last work upon it has been done, has not yet developed. Added symbolic works of art will ac- centuate the beautiful aspect of Di- vine worship as, with the coming and going of each service the spiritual beauty of such worship becomes more sacred The consecra- fixes more and more impressive, tion of this new church firmly the spirit of religion in this community which, like all others, owes to religion a debt it may never pay. A NEW BRITAIN BOY It it always a pleasure to note the success of a New Britain boy in his activities while away from home and it is especially pleasant to have oc- casion to mention success in scholar- ship. S0 much is made of athletic laurels won in college that a young chap, especially in his I'reshman year, is inclined to grow a bit cynical if he takes more-interest in the work of the classroom than that of the athletic field. To gain a general average above 90 in Freshman year is a job that takes courage, application and brains. Often a boy is not to blame for his brains— they just come. Tut certainly hy is to be given credit for that courage and | persistence in doing the work he went | to college to do witich result in such | scholarship. To be one of the ten high-stand men in one's class is achievement. James Wayne Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs, E. Cooper of this city, is to be congratulated for at- taining this stand for his i"reshman year at Yale. an GENERAL PROSPERITY, As the mental state of people af- feéts their health, so the state of the| nation’s courage affects its energy and prosperity. The best way tc sustain that courage is to realize fully the good condition economically of the country today as compared to . econditions a year ago. The improve- ‘ment has been gradual and for this Mmson not fully realized, but the facts are brought out by Roger Td son In Agures that speak plainly, The Babsonchart, that index tells how business should be allowing for the season of the year and normal progress, shows that general business today is 3 per cent normal while it was 18 per cent below nor- mal one year ago. Consider this fact and then wipe off that frown caused by the weather, Mr, Babson takes this occaslon emphasize the greater opportunities that exist now in the smualler cities and towns than obtain in the great cities, He deprecates the idea “the pasture farthest away the greenest,” and young men to look about their own homes. The statisticlan makes a significant remark when he declares that “as‘the great Agricultural West goes, 80 goes the whole country, Hence the prob- lems of the West are the problems of all ' 'This, remember, is the remark of New Englander. He goes on to quote the words of Jesus Christ whom he calls "the greatest economist who ever lived,” with that passage: ‘“The prosperity of each is dependent upon the prosperity of all we can help ourselves only as we help one another.” One may well believe that this truth might be presented to those who believe that a condition which .applies to this great country would not apply to the pros- perity of the world—those who be- lieve America can prosper always while Europe, fighting to get out of its troubie all alone, is far from prosperous, which above advises them in looks of us," and TENNIS CELEBRITIES. We acknowledge a keen interest in athleties, It is rather inspiring to think for a little while of contests other than those having to do with the dollar that is called “almighty.” We believe in giving publicity to ath- letic achievements. Once, even we were quite enthusiastic about tennis. We could probably hit the ball into as hard anyone or we ¢ successful in put- the net as were as consistent ting the ball “outside’ as others. But we confess that our interest in tennis has waned somewhat and it is not because the American wom- an champion has been eliminated from the Mentone tournament, either. It is some time since we have been “women ten- other- especially interested in nis champions,”” American or wise. Reports it that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen is “supreme.” We find we are ndt enthused. We doubt, even, if we would be enthused had it Mrs. Molla Mallory who be- came ‘“supreme.” There is an in- distinct recollection of unsportsman- like discussioris, alibis, accusations, repartee and other things connected with the women'’s tennis affairs some time ago that is responsible for a certain waning interest in this branch of sport as exemplified by the experts who have been figuring in the pre Mrs. Mallory may be a charming per- son, and Mile. Lenglen may be quite inspiring personally. But—well, ten- nis really is a great game. have been ASSASSINATION The inevitable has come in Ger- many.

There is joy in the camp of reformers temporarily out of a job because all the fields for their worthy endeavors secem to be filled. They see a chance to organize a “l.eague to Suppress Statements of Opinion by Anyone not Licensed by the league to Suppress Statements of Opinion,” Only those who have been duly examined by said League and found not wanting in proper appre- ciation of the Seriousness of Life will be allowed to speak freely., It is a crying Shame that some pecople, from whom more common sense and eleva- tion of ideals might be expected, are allowed to give out statements which, owing to their positions, are given wide publicity. The thought of this League, it is additional territory, will be favorable. to wonder | | a bit at what it means. It is reported | Is this action in fear of what the | rumored, is inspired by a statement of an English educator who dares to make the unheard-of assertion in re- gard to English students, that “The girl undergraduates of today are quite as nice as those of 30 years ago. Smok- ing and games have not done them any harm.” Need be said? Should such statements be alowed to go unchal- lenged? No, a thousands times no! So the League to Suppress Statements of Opinion by Anyone not Licensed by the League to Suppress Statesments of Opinion, will come into being and face this growing evil of free speech that threatens to destroy the effect of all dogmatic belief which is tried, trite and true. more Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN.
