Hall of New Britain, | who has filed a petition for nomination as state senator, where he already had served with credit to himself and the city, is regarded as one of the most popular men in New Britain. Indeed, his friends profess to believe that if he were to run for mayor “his nomin- ation would be equivalent to election.” His reputation, integrity and per- sonality, of course, is at the basis of his popularity. There is a studious nature and careful scrutiny of public questions that has marked his public career; he without doubt has been one of the best-informed legislators in the state house and in the city govern- | ment. | Mr. Hall does not circulate in the political skies as a dispenser of re- flected light from the party he hap- pens to be identified with. The Re- publican party is fortunate in having him in its ranks. He could get just as far as a Democrat or as an Inde- pendent. When citizens mention his name they do not think of the party label. 8. GERALD CASALE When 8. Gerald Casale, believed to be seeking the Democratic nomination | for the state senate, begins to talk on | his probable platform he becomes an | interesting aspirant by dint of what | he advocates, He wants the frequenting law modi- fled or repealed and believes this a major plank on which to aftain suc- | cess as a campaigner. This will appeal to many voters, yet the vast majorit no matter what their attitude or ac- tions in this connection, never are in | immediate danger of being enmeshed | with this law.

Modern serious music is running along decidedly worse lines. The “compositions” of modern writers like Stravinsky, Honegger and Cyril Scott for the most part have the effect of a kitten walking over’the piano keys. Beauty is the " last thing sought or achieved; ugliness seems to be the sine qua non of this decadence of art. In reviewing a set of "Five Short | Piano Riece&” by Arthur Honegger, a writer in Musical America, a musical periodical, proclaims as fol- lows: “Rut if Spelman, for example, is modern, what of Arthur Honeg- ger? Politeness, not unmixed, perhaps, with the horror of heing considered a lowbrow, cautions diplomacy; but the remnants of a New England conscience forces the admission that “Le Cahier Romand” containing five short plano numbers, sounds like any- thing but music. Mr. Honegger is evidently on the outs with such simple old friends as the triads (common chords) as we haven't been able to discover one in any of these five pleces, although once or twice he comes within one note of it. Ihere are moments when the composer seems to have mixed the right hand part of one plece with the left hand part of another, Such numbers as these should be in the possession of all young, ambition composers who still feel timid about writing strange-sounding chords 1t is fortunate that little of this music is heard hereabouts, not even in cultured Hartford. We have seen some of it In print, and can claim without possibility of serious contradiction that as noise it is worse than jazz was be- fore Paul Whiteman tamed it L DEBT CANCELLATION Rumors are heard in banking circles that the next major move upon the international chesshoard will attempt to have America greater part or all of the war debt ow- The debts are cancel the ing from allied nations. of such huge proportions that some that money Sam most of (he Uncle bankers say will never be repaid to and that it is just ag well to come to a cancellation understanding now as later, America should by no means re- club over European debtors without enforcing as to future international conduct.

Speculation regarding Mars is particularly timely because of its near- | ness to the earth at present, but as- tronomers announced only yesterday that the best views of Mars will come in October, and not on Saturday or shortly thereafter, as had been ex- pected. Reason for this is that the seasons on Mars and their effect on vegetation will give a better view in October, although this would tend to nullify the theory that Mars Is perpetu- ally too cold for the growth of vegeta- tion. Although Mars is a nearby planet, | speculation as to the details of Its structure and life varies astonishingly.

The return last night of Senator Wheeler, running mate of the inde- | pendent candidate for president, from his three weeks' vacation in Massa- chusetts, enabled Attorney General Eken of Wisconsin, director of the solicitation of campaign funds from the public, and David K. Niles, act- ing head of the speakers’ bureau, to begin a series of conferences With them which wiil be joined, probably Saturday by Representative Nelson, of Wisconsin, the national campaign manager. The itincravies of the candidates themselves presented the principal task before the conferees, although a number of other problems are to be considered. Arrangements are being made, meanwhile, by campaign head- quarters in Chicago to hroadcast a Labor Day message by Senator la- Jollette throughout the country, and Mr, Wheeler is expected to speak on Boston Common the same day. It is said to be practically settled that Mr. Lal'ollette will wait until the middle of September to make his first personal appearance hefore an audience and that this address will be delivered in New York city. Where ch will go after those speeches and the division of territory between them remain for the conferees to determine, | with one of the candidates expected o make at least one address in every ection thought to offer favorable opportunity for a showing in the elec- tion.

S O L T e S S DR. FRANK CRANE’S DAILY EDITORIAL —_— The Revolt of Youth By DR. FRANK CRANE at is known as “the revolt of youth” we must take In dealing with wi into account what education is. Much of the revelt of youth is an expression of the spirit of independ- ence, a revolt of the young person against adopting the ideas or methods that are not his According to Dr. W. 8 Howard, corresponding sceretary of the board piscopal church, one phase of what of Sunday schools of the Methodist s hoen called the revolt of youth may truthfully be called the collapse of restraint. “parents have almost “teachers wear no badge of authority up children in the way they should go." This of course is not so. The children of today are as good they ever were and the children of tomorrow will be better. Dr. Bovar A's alarm is merely at a revolt against authority and it is not authority that children need g0 much as the proper svelopment of their individuality. This is not a plea for the absence cather a plea for placing the restraint thin them. Attention has hecn called own. raising their children,” said Dr. Bevard, quit , and society in general refuses to train of restraint among children, but it is in the right place, It should be to the collapge of. authoril There is no collapse of authority. The or right” place for authority is within one’s self. No amount of training or discipline will do anyone any good if it 1s training and discipline in response to an outsde stimulus. It must be jnside. The child should be trained to exercise and use his own facilities. 1n the using of these he will develop the necessary strength. 1f more attention is paid to the development of children in the proper . and less attention to the sustaining of eertain standards of society for children, more good will be done. We should always keep in mind in matters of education that in a 'short time we will be gone an 1 the responsibility of the orld will be placed upon the shoulders of the children Anyone who realiz this will realize that it is more important to develop strength in children than it is to develop our own authority ever them.
