The mat- ter is elose to thelr hearts, They are always ready to be present, give their arguments, and fight for thelr posit- fon. People who wish things to “run along as they are” are not, as a rule, éspecially concerned. They feel often that nothing revolutionary will be done. They are apt to pe apathetic 1t is well for such people to know . that those backing the report of the school survey committee appointed by Mayor Paonessa are sald to have heen doing some work to try to have that report, with which they agree, passed upon favorably by the city meeting board. Such people belleve in the _ report, which presents the one-story schoolhouse in its most favorable Hight. They believe that there might well be & building commission to have charge of the building of schools. The people who'have had charge of the building of schools, and who oppose the commission plan, should be present at the session of the city meeting board to present their side of the matter, If such people are not members of the board, they ghould see to it that their side of the question has authorized representa- tives present. When this matter was discussed at a previous meeting there was a sad lack of supporters of the present arrangement, opponents of the . new building commission plan. Both sides should be heard, and the people of the city who have stpod by the school authoritics in the past hope " that this side will be represented. And at this meeting there shoufd be o full attendance. A few more sessions of the city meeting hoard attended by but about one-third of its members will make such meetings absolutely unrepresentative.

WEDNESDA This newspaper wants to wish the merchants of the city and their clerks all of the pleasure possible in®thelr enjoyment of the Wednesday half- holidays that start today. TLittle impa- tience will be shown when some for- getful shopper finds the stores closed Wednesday afternoons until August 16, when they will be open again on Wednesdays. Few will feel that their inconvenience is not a small matter compared to the good that will come to the merchants and clerks who, all through the year, try to serve them to the best of their ability. And those who dqg feel any impatience will do well to remember the long hours those merchants and clerks who are enjoy- ing a rest today, gtand before them, trying to find the articles wanted and trying to help the shoppeYs who may not know “exactly what they want,"” and who may be very hard indeed to satisfy. Of course it is the business of the merchant and his clerks to make cales and to show as much patience and courtesy as possible in serving the public. But there are few men women engaged in earning their have to meet so much irritations, as A or living who impatience, so many these same merchants and cler great many of us, the shop worker, the laborer, the professional man in many instances, may g0 ahead and do his or her work without a word.

MANNING (Washingten Bureau of New Britain Herald), Washington, D, C, June 27.—The democratic party will go before the people in 1024 with real issues that will appeal to business, labor and the farmers and will lay stress upon the complete fatlure of the republican ad- ministration to better the condition of any class of the American peopl®, except the speclally privileged class, Auring its four year tenure, it was as- sterted today by Chairman Cordell Hull of the @pmocratic National com- mittes in outlining in an interview the issues o his party in 1924, The fallure of the Harding adminis- tration to perform any of its great promises will be the principal issue, Mr. Hull declared. The democratic party will also claim that the Ford- ney-McCumber tarift has failed miser- ably to bring good times except to a selected few; has falled to check the rising cost of living for the laboring clagn, and has been unable to prevent hard times for the farmers, he added. Chairman Hull made no mentlon of prohibition or the League of Nations as issues, indicating at least that it will be best for the democratic party to soft pedal on these questions for the time being. “Any summary of the prospective {ssue for 1924 must begin with the is- sues raised by the tailure of the Hard- ing administration to keep its pre- election promises,” said Mr. Hull, “and its failure to meet the reason- able expectations of the people, ex- cept a small but powerful miniority conastituting the special privileged class. “The rank and file of American voters have been accustomed to judge national administrations by re- sults, The first inquiry that will arise in the minds of the voters next year will be, why should we desire another four years of Harding and so-called Harding normasicy in the light of recent experience? Why should a political party that promises more, and after being entrusted with power, performs less then any other party in our history, receive an in- dorsement in 1924? “Why should American farmers desire another four years of Harding normalcy in the light of the fact that they are thirty billlon dollars worse oft today than when President Hard- ing was elected, while their future appears ominous and almost hopeless? “Why should they desire to con- tinue in federal power a party which has inflicted upon them abnormally high freight rates, a party which has signally failed to promote the de- velopment of sound, reciprocal foreign matket conditions to permit the satis- factory sale of the farm surplus, and a party that only gave the farmer a gesture at glving rellef from packer price manipulation? “Why should the American laborer be enamored of the Harding adminls- tration in the light of the fact that the hi vi tence and fled.

England's the most important of them. She has no such law. Con- gequently, her ships aren’t entitled to an adequate supply of “‘medicine.’s Nevertheless the big English liners Berengaria and Baltic arrived in New York with enough drinks on board, under seal, to last them home again. Tt was intended as a test. Enforce- ment officials broke the British cus- toms seals and selzed the drinks. 1t seems certain there'll be more of this as fresh ships arrive. Other countries recognize that Am- erfca’s within her rights in regulating her ports as she pleases. ‘What they do contend is that she's guilty of a breach of courtesy which puts her outside the pale of international po- lite society. They admit they can't do anything for their ships in Ameri- can waters, but they can “take fit out"” on American ships in theirs. This may be expected confidently. to be considercd the winner by pretending that victory wasn't worth much.
