They were very cer- tain, were these good people, that it would be a splendid thing to have knowledge of the constitution more general. The strangers, especlally, they felt, were in need of such instruc- tion. , One individual at the gathering re- mained quiet for a while and then, speaking in a low volce, modestly ask- ed who in the group knew enough of the constitution to:tell what the first amendment to it {s. There was a dead, a particularly dead, silence. No one seemed to know, The inquiry was not pursued further, The amount of knowledge of the constitution which they were so anxlous to teach to the stranger, possessed by members of the group, was apparent. None of them seemed particularly familiar with it We are thoroughly in favor of spreading knowledge of the constitu- tion of the United States. But we con- fess to have forgotten a good part of what we know of it, and this admis- slon, humiliating though it be, does not make us feel that we differ a great deal from many other who con- gider themselves good, patriotie citi- zens. The constitution should be im- pressed upon all of us. The stranger needs knowledge of it; but we need knowledge of it ,too, Like charity such teaching should begin at home. Like many other situations this is one shere we should pull the beam out of ‘our own eyes hefore we loek for the moat in the eyes of our neighbors. It has been recently noted that changes are being suggested in the Manner of teaching those who are supposed to set examples of the cor- rect life to others. Practical knowl- edge, illumined hy spiritual light, is needed, rather than spiritual light with no practical knowledge. This does not discredit the value of the spiritual light, but rather, intensifies the need of practical knowledge. So, urging that we, all of us, learn more of the constitution and then attempt to spread that knowledge does not in any sense suggest that such knowl- edge is not necessary. It does sug- gest, however, that we begin a period of enlightening others by enlighten- ing ourselves. Let's go to it. RELIEF FOR JAPAN A movement to give aid to the liv- ing sufferers from the greatest natural calamity on record has been started in this city as other such movements have been started all over the world. New York city has acted promptly, ( giving out of the great wealth she holds, generous donation to the [\f‘opl\"‘ of Japan. The American Red Cross, always alert, ready emergencies, has been deputized take over the handling of the funds| that will be raised. No other organi- zation is better fitted, practically and | spiritually, to do this work. There is a feeling of relicf all over our country that such an organization exists. It is | our pride, | And it is the this city that N share in this work such | to| always in pride of the people of w Britain will do her The a call to the of humanity call for donations is not man or woman who has | he or she can do to feed and care their own. | No man or woman will be blamed if he or she is compelled to give every- | preciated by many whose shoulders are too weak Lo carry even a portion of it ' New Rritain will do its shave as the cities and towns and countries of the world are thying to do their share, The Japanese, efficient workers, have not called for ald; they are too husy doing the things that are necessary And this reason, the reply from the people of country should be prompt and generous where generosity is possible, too, this CITY OF OPPORTUNITY The achievements of a much re- speeted citizen New Hritain who has just died, brings out forcibly the fuet that this is n city of opportuni- ty. This man rose from obsecurity to prominence through his own efforts, He began at the bottom and ended his days among the foremost men of| the city. Americans pride themselves that this is the land of opportunity, Gold Is not found lying In the street, as some strangers to our land are re- ported to have been told, but the chances to earn those dollars and other things more valuable than money, are here, New Britain is typleal of this country in that respect. A stranger to the city, after being here a little while, sces sonte of the officials of the manufacturing plants well situated In life, They enjoy the comforts and luxuries which moder- ate wealth brings. The stranger is in- clined to jump to the conclusion that they have inherited money; that they have had far greater chances than wgll ever come to them; that they have been lucky. Some of them have inherited money and business posi- tion, perhaps. Perhaps some of them have been fortunate at the beginning and life has been easy for them. But a more thorough understanding of many of them and a knowledge of their lives will show that many began at the bottom as the man who has just died began. They have worked hard and have known the labor on the bench as the stranger may be know- ing it today. Some of them, even, were obliged to leave school at an early age to go tp work., Many of them know just what a stranger coming here to work in the manufacturing plants is “up against.” 7 There are somdvital aspects‘to this situation. First, and most important, is the fact that this is a city of op- portunity. A man working faithfully hera can get on to success; many are working on to success as many havi done befofe them. And then there ls the propriety of consideration and help in work due the workers which those who have once occupied the less important positions should be able to understand. New Britain is a good city to work in. Employers employes will profit if they keep it so and improve it, where improvement is possible. of and “'HE WHOLE TRUTH" A great deal of fuss is being made over the report that Irving Fisher, of Yale, his declared that the late Pres- ident Harding told him personally that he, President Harding, wanted the United States to get into the l.eague of Nations as much as Prof, Fisher did. We hold no brief for or against Professor Fisher, and we have no wish to comment upon the possibility that the late President made that remark, or what it signifies if he did make it The point that is exasperating to any fuir-minded person is the failure by some critics of the Professor for “be- traying a confidence” after the quoted man is dead, to tell “the whole truth.” The New York Herald, for instance, | says editorially this morning that the report is that the late President said to Professor Fisher, “I'll tell you, pro- vided you will not publish it in this campaign 1 want the United States to get into the League as much | as you do.” Be it noted that there is an hiatus in this quotation. Something is left out. That is the point. As we remember the report it was cffect that the late President did tell Professor Iisher he might re- peat He . w e to the his remark to his friends, might tell his friends, if he wanted to, | President Harding wanted the | to get into the League. that United State man who reads this Harding Is there any who believes, if President {eause the people of the country be- [tioved the League idea would be the foundation of peace, ' EANT SIDE SEWER The city is under a moral obligation to grant funds for the completion of the East Bide sewer, as sought by the board of public works, Moreover the completion of this work will put inte use a long streteh of sewer now lying idle because of the lack of this con- necting link, The people whose prop- erty will be henefited aré people of moderate means for the most part, who rely upon the informal promise of the city that this work would be completed, [ When the part of the ecity not in- cluded at that time in the second tax- ing district, where the tax was higher, was taken Into the higher taxed dis- trict, making all one district, it was the understanding that that part of t the city would receive greater bene- fits to compensate for the higher tax. The completion of this sewer s one of those convenlences which will add to the value of Belviders property and which wijll benefit the city as a whole, The sewer Is a necessity, It s not preaching n-vo’wmy to speak in op- |y position to it, and it is to be hoped that there will be little such opposi- tion. The people who will be bene- I fited have a right to expect it. Opposl- tion to the one taxing district plan|( would have heen much stronger |if there had not come, with its presenta- tion, a practical promise that this sewer, among other things, would be laid. Both as a just plan and as one which is a wise business move for the city, Inasmuch as this connecting link will put to use sewers already|] laid, appyoval should be expressed for the movement at this time. ¥ Coatless days are almost over. Soon the men will be wearing two—under and over. On hot and sunny coatless days, ‘While summer hangs around, We sing our sentimental lays And lose weight by the pound. The lad and lassie know the joy Of strolls beneath the stars; The athletic cries out “Attafoy:" Folks live in motor cars, Enjoy each gleaming, golden thread Of glist'ning sunlight rays— Soon comes the winter of our dread; Vamoosed, those coatless days.

For the first time it was made pub- lic yesterday that the new secret or- ganization welcomes Catholics, Jews and negroes as members. but ex- cludes all members of Protestant churches. It is an avowed anti-Klan organization, but does not counsel pa- rades or violence, except as a matter of self-defense. All of the socleties composed of foreigners who have been requested to join the Knights of the Flaming Cir- cle are said to have entered en masse, During their initiation ceremonies the Knights of the Flaming Circle wore only masks. Each knight has a flaming circle over his heart, sym- bolic, the organizers say, of truth.
