If there is any one movement in this country which has the undivided, hearty support of cvery man, woman .and child in it, such movement is the one planned for the benefit of the disabled veterans of the world war, This, of course, h\-lhvéw al least, “For the disabled—everything,” is a slogan which has found its way into strange places, and the sentiment of it is in every heart even though practical ex- pression of it, in efficient care of the - @sabled, in proper provision for them has been lacking. The intentions are _good; the carrying ?‘ut of them has been sadly inadequate, Last summer there was cstablished at Niantic a camp for the disabled of the world way in this section of the country. At this camp they gathered, Including over 40 from this city, and spent a period together renewing old .!frl(-ndlhlin. making new . ones and " feeling, for the short time the camp lasted, that sort of comfort and con tent known and appreciated only by men who have fought and suffered to- gether and who, together in a world of their own, forget for the moment the handicaps they will bear for a long time, if not for life, because of their ~ courage and patriotism and obedience to duty. With a record of wonderfully suc- cesstul “drjves” to its credit, New Britain fafled to pay its share of the expenses of that camp last year. Deafened, perhaps, by the cry of “Glve, give” which gomes cach yoar from all sources, the people of the city did not hear the quict appeal of those representing this movement, It could not be the fanlt of those aclively in- . terested; it could not be the fault of the people, for few would refuse to give eagerly to the fund which would assure these men, deserving of so much and who can never enough to make up to them what they have lost, a short vacation with their comrades, But whatever the cause it wil not happon again. A meeting of the local committee having in charge the col- in_New d, Times Entrance Station, receive Jection of this city's share of the ex- | penses of the camp, has been held, Do they fear that further objection to | throwing some light on the way things ! |-are done at Washington under this | administration will give the impres- | sion of being afraid of the develop- | ments which might come were the in- | vestigations carried farther? Or—and the thought is a revolu- ! tionary one, secarce believable—have they reached the conclusion that they | are tired of standing by I‘resldent’ Coolidge's friends; that they don’t care if they show the people in how | little esteem they, these leaders, hold | the chief exccutive; have they decid- | ed that, at this last minute, Prcsldenb‘ | Coolidge 18 not the only, small, round object on the approach to the.ocean —that another candidate may be pre- sented as the republican standard | bearer at the convention? | President Coolidge's strength with the ordinary republican voters throughout the country has been | shown, Similarly the unwillingness of | the republicans at Washington to fol- low the president’s leadership has been shown—if it may be said that President Coolidge has attempted “leadership.” The men in Washington know the president's qualities, for strength, wisdom, or the reverse, far | better than do those who have voted | | for him In the republican primaries. | Have those me in Washington made up thelr minds that the president has | a stubborn, rather than firm straln, or | that silonce comes often from some- thing not as estimable as strength? | In all sertousness the question is ask- | ed=—nave the republican leaders de- elded that as a candidate against a | man with a vital, living personality | backed by soupd judgment and deci- | | sfon of character, President Coolidge | will not do? 1 THE MONEY YOU “LOSE" 1t is pleasant to note instances where honesty pays dividends when | the policy of honesty was pursued for honesty's, not for policy’s sake, 'I'he, case of a newspaper in a western | eity Is cited which, starting humbly fifty years ago, stands alone in its field today.

For, in a sense, such signboards constitute dirt against the freshness of spring beauty, and, more strictly perhaps, they make ! up the sort of foreign matter which detracts from the picture’'s spiritually practical value.

SPECIAL COUNSEL WILL CONDUCT INVESTIGATION And Senate Will Pay Lawyer For Aid- ing in Revenue Bureau Probe Washington, May 7.—The senate committee investigating the internal revenue bureau has been authorized to employe speclal counsel at the sen- ate's expense to conduct the inquiry— a point from which numerous waves of oratory have radiated since the committee voted to permit Senator | Couzens, republican, Michigan, to re- | tain Francis J. Heney of California, in such a capacity, at his own expense, The move to place diregtion of the inquiry in the hands of Mr. Heney, | suggested to Senator Couzens, the committee prosecutor, by Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, brought vig- | ganization leaders and was followed | by an admonition from President “Coollrlze that the chamber remain within legal bounds in conducting in- vestigations, Charges were made that, having failed to disclose irregularities | in the internal revenue bureau, the in- | vestigation was to be stretched to cove er the prohibition enforcement unit, Two resolutions grow out of the dis- pute, Senator Wateon, republican, In- diana, chairman of the committee, proposing to end the inquiry, and Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, a member, introducing the measure acted upon last night, formally au- thorizing employment of counsel. Both were held up beeause of the iliness of | Senator Couzens, but the Jones pro- jpoul was taken up yesterday, used as the pivot for a sweeping debate, and then abruptly adopted seven hours later, Senator Watson ahnounced at the outset that he did not intend to press his resolution nor further oppose con- tinuation of the inquiry. During the | debate, however, he reiterated his de- ;lermlnnllon “to resist” investigation | of the prohibition unit by the com- | mittee as long as he remained its | ehairman and at the end had to move that his resolution be laid aside in- 39c—to—T9¢ crous opposition from republican or- | Down Prices 4 NOW Is the Time To PAINT Guaranteed pure lead and oil paints for'inside and out- side uses.
