There is a wealth of information in the preamble, there is every neces- sary guide to the observance of true| Americanism and true patriotism, there is an all-inclusive exposition of our reason for being. “We, the people of the United States,” all of us, from every section, in a mass which has been increased greatly since the fa- mous words were written, “in order to form a more perfect Union,” in or- der to better weld themselves into a more harmonious whole, “establish Jjustice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, pLo- mote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves | and our posterity, do ——." We, today as well as in 1787, may well “do" as| the preamble suggests. As a group, irrespective of family, city, state or section, as a nation we must “establish | both Justice,” whether it suits our private | ends. or not. Likewise ‘“domestic tranquillity” in its broader sense must be achieved if we would continue to be the power that are today. Cliques, political, religious, financial, industrial, of capital and of labor, must pool their interests for the com- mon good. We must, in a group, “'pro- vide for the common defense,” not necessarily pursue a campaign of ag- gression but see to it that we are ade- quately protected against an aggres- sor, To “promote the general welfare” is to further the interests of a nation, as a nation, not to promote the wel- fare of a particular group or interest and we must act as judges upon the right and wrong of a civic or financial act when promoting this welfare. In securing “the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to posterity” we must see that the ideal back of the Consti- tution is carried through and quickly ddlsrmse of one who would interfere with the liberty of ourselves or our children by any act whatsoever which threatens to restrict the liberty of the nation although the liberty of the in- dividual must needs be restrained for the liberty of the whole. The thirteen states which originally drafted the Constitution well known as a rule. Connecticut stands fifth on the list, a reason for pride and additional zeal on the part of citizens hereabouts, as state pride as long it does not conflict with national unity is a praiseworthy thing.

'The strike of the newspaper pressmen in New York, preventing the issuing of the majori- ty of the newspapers of that city, does bring the contemplation of a situation in this country that would follow the failure to appear of any newspaper at all. Newspapers are taken for granted; they come as regularly as the morn- ing dawn. What Would happen if they should all stop appearing? For the moment we feel as though we would prefer to go through a month without the light of the sufl rather than pass a month without a newspaper, It is another instance of our failure to ap- preciate how well off we are until something that has become a practical necessity is taken from us. We can not discuss the merits of the case. The proprietors of the news- papers say they do not know the cause of the strike, so we can't be expected to know it. But we, whether we make our living by helping to get realize today what a disaster it would be were the newspapers all over the country to fail to give us the information that is necessary in many cases for the transaction of business or the regula- tion of our lives. | The strike in New York home to newspaper men a new sense of their responsibility, Really, we didn't know how Important to the world we were. And, if we are as im- portant as this, surely we ought to work harder, more carefully, more in- telligently to adequately fill that ime= portant place. brings VETO AND INVESTIGATION. It is quite probable that the Mayor's veto of the resolution of the common council caling for a police investiga- tion by a committee named in the resolution, will be sustained. It Is re- ported that there is a feeling in the council favoring the investigation but opposed to taking away from the Mayor the right to appoint the com- mittee. Statements have been made by members of the police commission that they favor, rather than oppose, such an investigation since the mat- ter has been brought up. Their stand is that the department will lose nothing by the investigation, since it and this fact might just as well be shown to the people of the city through an 8o, if the veto is sus- that another resolution ordering an investigation, the committee to be appointed by the Mayor after the customary procedure, tained seven articles and 10 amend- | ments which were later added to as| the need for further definition arose. | At present there are 19 amendments in addition to the original document As there for the quoting of these verbatim the Herald will endeavor to give an idea of their purport tor the benefit of those #tudy of the Article 1, legislative powers be vested in a Con- gress which includes the Senate and House of Representatives. article 1, provides for representatives, the filling of va in the lower house of the minimum age of such wall as to the apportionment of direct taxes.

In our own city the water supply Is adequate even at this time when there have been few heavy rains. In this direction no pres- ent fear lies. The people of the city have not opposed. the board of public works in #s nliompt to keep that sup- ply available. The importance of this wat®®is recognized here, , Catastrophes such as that which has just come to the California city, and similar catastrophes elsewhere serve to emphasize the wisdom of general interest in the municipal ac- tivities by employes of the city whose duty it is to see that our continued safety is assured. They emphasize the terrible folly of opposing improvement and maintenance of the public works of the city on the ground that “things have been all right for a good many years; what's the use of changing them?” New Britain is well off in many matters which threaten other cities. Keep New Britain like that.

S MASSACRE REPORT Allied Commls_sl(vn Already Delving Decply Into Killing of Italian Boundary Commissioners, By The Assoclated Press. Janina, Albania, Sept. 19, — The commission appointed by the inter- allied council of ambassadors to in- vestigate the massacre of the Italian mission, spent today in examining the full report of the investigation under- taken by the Greek goverpment im- mediately after the assassinations oc- curred.
