B 0, which fum. tieers with elieulation, Our bused upon this audit, This taction agalnet fraud in ne tribution Agures to both natie oal adiertisers, THFE HONORE Across the water are 32,000 graves of men of this country who gave their Hives because, like true men of this country, they obeyed the call to arms in defense of the liberty of demoeracy. In this country are the of thousands who obey the sampe eall, There are no graves more honore than these; there are no graves the sight of which or the thought of which brings deeper sense of appre-| clation of the sacrifices made for| liberty, duty. In this country many hearts feel the distance which separates us from the resting places of the bodles of our men who died in France, and In those hearts there is the determination to keep allve, through perpetual care of | these graves, the memory of those | men so that not only may we feel our respect is shown before men, but also 80 that the person who, in France, passes or halts before one of those graves, may well remark “They, in America, honor the memory of their brave men who have died.” And so we feel that the graves of our men who came home to die or who died in service should be similar- | 1y honored. As there is the earnest| desire to care for those graves in| France—those graves of our men—so | there is the determination to care for | the graves here. The "buddies” of those men who died have gone to! work with that same courage and d--;’ termination that carried them over| the top in the face of death, to raise a fund that will care for those graves, in France always, that will decorate and honor the graves here on the| coming memorial day. The poppy drive, mnow heing con- ducted, and the plan to receive sub- scriptions for the 8200,000 fund the| interest of which is to do this splendid work, is inspired by this desire to honor the memory of our dead. At the coming memorial day exercises each grave in this city will have its appro- | priate marker, its seemly decorations) and a contribution will be seyt to atd in raising the money necessary to keep the memory allve of those who died in ; France, so far from home. No true| man of this country, no true woman, can fall to be moved by such an ap- | peal. Fach will give something glad- | ly—in memory of ours. It is the desire to receive a Iargei number of small contributions. The | Herald {s proud to receive such mn-‘; tributions and will acknowledge them | each day as they are received. Such donation should be forwarded to “The | New Britain Herald,” and marked | | “For Graves' Endowment Fund.” i graves OUR OWN IMPORTANCE The return of a man to his "home town’ after an absence of twenty-one years—a man who had been judicially declared to be dead-—can not be passed over without thought when that “home town' happens to be your own town and the man one known to many. There was a peculiar about the return of Patrick 17 Kelley | yesterday—a coincidence with which he had nothing to do. Knowing little about his personal affairs and with the conviction that it is nonc of our business anyway we may at least say to the| coincidence “welcome home,” and pass thought that is inspired by his return not because it is Mr. Kelley who has eome back, but because an individual has reappeared who had dropped out of the surroundings in which he was formerly seen The fact that when Mr, known, a New Firitain was speaking eloquently coincidence referred to is the just at the time, yesterday, Kelley's return was made comparative stranger to of the importance of cvery individual no matter how of that the speaker had never goul in the world, humble the ual.

W POINTS OF VIEW Ko many obvious, trite remarks have heen made about the heauty of setvice, the value of individuality and the unfortunate faflure of our “best| peopla” to take an active Interest| in polities, that it would seem a talk | in which these matters were the high spots would But as a patent may be granted on a new pro- cess for accomplishing an old purpose ns well as upon a discovery or inven- tion, so these matters of service, in- dividuality, right citizenship become | vital when seen from new nfiwpolntul‘ under the searching light of a knowl- | edge of history and its wise applica- tlon to present day problems, Such new viewpoint ecame Phillp troup in his address before a local organization yesterday. Thurr‘,‘ was nothing obvious or trite about it and a new realization of our country as the only nation whose wars had al- | ways been waged in the cause of liber- ty, a nation unique in the world's history, came as one of the results of | Mr. Troup's address. The withering | scorn of the speaker for the man who; refuses to become interested and ac-| tive in the public affairs of his com- munity because ‘“politics are too dirty,"” was emphasized In his declar-| ation that “if politics are dirty it is beeause we refuse to do the work necessary to make politics clean,” and his convincing assertion that Rome's period of decay began when the peo- ple turned from the public forum and interest in national affairs to the re- sorts of pleasure and entertainment, not impress, from | emphasized his point that there Is a| .40 0omoal people to sizn a pledge |out by selling you one of our latest menace in the situation in this coun- try where 100,000 people will pay to! see a prize fight or football game but; will not go in any appreciable num-| i, \pien 1imits the use of drugs to | freely, stood on Main street last eve bers to hear a great statesman speak | necessity, the law against thett, mur- n' of fundamentally vital problems. | Possibly Mr. Troup's illustration of | the importance of individual aetion | was the most effective of his talk. No| matter how humble our position, he/| asserted, it is possible that some ac- tion of ours, working in our own| community, may have far-reaching effect, and he eited the incident where | an humble subaltern, not Wellington, | was held to have done the most! to win the battle of Waterloo for England. And then, to give the final touch of impressiveness to the | lesson of the importance of a seul, he | cited the ohoice of an humble son of | | a carpenter of Judea to be the man | whose words and deeds would have | more effect upon the history of the“ world than the command of all the powerful emperors of Rome. There is no lack of reéverence in the thought| that if each of us conducted our- selves as though our actions, our in- fluence might have a strong bearing on the history of the world, we would take a more determined stand to have that influence count in the fight for befter things, RIGHT, BRITAIN On Monday, discussing the British situation, The Herald asked “Which | Way, England?’ Were Curzon to be selected as the new Prime Min- would be a step in the di- traditional Lord ister there rection of maintaining the English poliey of turning to aristocra- cy of blood Were Baldwin the choice of a recogni- there would be evidence tion_of accomplishment.

The shoek comes | that churchmen of any denomination at all have deemed it wise to demand that those connected with it sign a| written pledge to obey the law m" particular law. For only guibblers will insist that the person who uses liquor today is not breaking the law. The| cases where drinking is legal are so few as to be negligible. | Possibly the nearest habit to that of | excessive drinking is the use of drugs. | Has therc been any movement to in-| | sist that certain reputedly law.abiding citizens drugs? are admittedly more dieastrous than the use of liquor. And the man who take a pledge not to use, Yet the results of such use| | encourages illegal use of drugs is cer- tainly as much the lawbreaker as the | man who aids in the use of liquor as| a beverage, The answer would seem to be plainly that there seems to be no need, in the minds of these good peo- not to break a law which has the ap-f proval of united public sentiment or | all right thinking people, such as the der or any other action which is gen- erally recognized by decent people to be wrong or criminal, Is not the request, the insistence on this signing of the pledge which is, in effect, to aid in the enforcement of a cerwlnl law, a confession of the qnestlonublei character of the law? Or is it not at | least an admission that a stand must | be taken, officfally and entirely out- | sides the individual's conscience, de- | claring that this law is one which is| right and proper? Is not this action, then a clear and ! practical demonstration of the result of attempting to make, by legislation, a new standard of morals?
