Senator Bingham seems to favor a presidential commission to inquire into the B-4 disaster, rather than a pongressional investigation. By the way, which sort is most likely to! provide a good coat of whitewash? Public oficlals in Chile are giving svidences of wisdom. The minister ot finance has thrust forward a bill to make a law against allowing foreign conceasions for the esploration of oil. That's one way to avold trouble. The plan to have New Britain cops weer thelr artillery outside their coats reminds us they can be made to look like cowboys, but there still will be an important difference— plainsmen can hit a dime half ly block away.

Next day— uot & week or & montdh later, but next day—the fine new street pave- ment was being marred and a ditch was being dug for the sewer pipes. ‘This also will be & neat job; but the pavement will never be the same. Somehow a new pavement, once it is dug up for ditches, looks the same; and nine times out of ten the part where the sewer pipe was laid is not returned to its pris- tine strength. In a short time the pavement usually bogs the length of the sewer pipes. Thie system of putting in sewer never again along pipes along a newly paved street is to be condemned. The proper fime to put down sewer pipes is before a street is paved, not afterwards. The {system indicates amazing lack of foresight STAR CHAMBER SESSIONS ‘There may be times when a city board is justified in going into secret hut The nittle meeting. they are rare r6 commissioners gave a secret performance for the henefit of firemen the other night and by this time it must be marveling at the amount of publicity attained One good way to attain three the amount of rountine business ought to get is to | held a star chamber meeting, The always learn more ahout 1t than is good for the board holding tha meeting, and the effect is devastating public The question whether civic ger- vants have the right to petition to the common council over the heads of their boards is one entailing sev- eral viewpoints.

The fire board got quite huffy about a matter which basically mat tered little.

Scarcely anything in human society is more pitiful than poverty plus old age. As an individualistic nation, worshiping success and having scant regard for failure, we are prone to take little account of the under dog. except that when all else | fails we provide almshouses, some of which are well-managed institutions and others—perhaps the majority— not so well-managed. The principle of old-age pensions has found little encouragement in this country; some organizations with foresight and willingness to sacrifice effort in the direction of re- form favor the plan; at least onc | powerful fraternal organization has | made it a prime principle of achieve- ment. Progress, however, continues to be slow. Statistics indicate that most peo- ple past 60 arc supported by their kin. Relatives pay for their support, sometimes their children solely. This is one way, the usual way; but it is not necessarily the best way. The amount of charity disbursed any well-regulated community runs into large figures. The bulk of the money for this necessary activity in | comes from the people generally; | little of it being part of the tax money. Perhaps, because of its slight publicity | successful and that the membership Srows large. As was to be expected. a minister of the gospel is identified with it; clergymen have it to their credit that they always become identified with causes of charity and help to the fallen. | A nickel a week s littie enough | for prosperous folk to contribute to :.\u‘ h a club. A dime a week would be even better. But the chief siguifi- cance about the movewent is the spirit of help that prevails in the community. 1t is the spirit of good will in action. It is the spirit which | | is not satisfied with the dispensing | Christmas baskets once a year, but "u..-ognms the need for help all the There to be | year. always seems &omebody in hard luck, in poor cir- need; some family in want is plac- | {ed on its feet, another similar soor cumstances, in dire and so | bebs up far attention. | #aith, hepe and charity—and the | Ereatest of these is charity. ‘ BINGHAM AND SPANISH | criticism is heard in Wash- |ington and elsewhere in the land | [that Senator Bingham of Connecti- wart. What in particular Home cut 13 too smart is an irrtant fo the nerves is that he knows his Spanish. The megia, as from Nut knows, is not a disliking to be [ mor a dumt waiter who cannet talk, He 15 on jmior senator everyone | blughing rose seen, his feet just as often as | opportunity offers—and he himself is the judge of opportunity. He can see and recognize an opportunity a | mte But it is his uncanny knowledge about Spanish that has shown up hie learning in a light that co-workers {in the public service can scarcely isn‘lurfi What are they to think of [ senator, for instance, who will get {up on mis feet—once again—and |read a Latin-American treaty in Spanish and with unabashed vir- | | tuosity emit entire original sentences %m that lingo. Then, at the end of |the Spanish elocutionary exercise, | look around in triumph, as much as | to say, "I beg to be corrected if any- |one can make a correction.” In parading an expert knowledge of Spanish, Senator Bingham shows he classifies being “eminently human.” What. learned expositor of a foreign or dead language does otherwise? The law books are filled with Latin maxims, and no one can |be a lawyer without knowing their meaning, or at least that is the case in most states. Latin and Greek references, usually proverbs and maxims, used to be a regular stock in trade of writers on serious topics, and to a certain extent the custom | s#ill prevails in writings not intend- i“" for wide popular consumption. | | away. as The man or woman who can speak or write French doesn't let an op- portunity pass to parade the | knowledge, although since the war | some of the boys who thought they knew their French and were in | France returned with a vastly dit- ferent change of accent and pro- nunciation, or concluded they didu’t care to talk French any more. When Senator Bingham *parades his learning” on occasion he simply follows the natural urge to display something he happens to possess, just like many another senator does or would like to do. The prejudice aroused amid envious listeners, however, is considerable; and if the | senator kecps up his Spanish lessons long enough he can deliver all his talks in that language for all the at- tention the remainder of the class will pay to him. There are perils in being superior. THE INEVITABLE The inevitable is arriving, as us- val.

There still is hope for a race of people that hasn't the nerve to be naughty until it gets a few drinks. die Lawlessness is & state of mind. 1f you scorn speed laws, you would scorn any other that interfered with vour pleasure. What is modesty, anyway? Thirty vears ago she was called a brazen hussy because she didn't care who saw her elbows. Great philosopher, modern &tyle: Writing what everybody knows in a simple-enough-for-a-child way, “Prove it to me!" yells the young scientist, as thongh the world had nothing to do but waste time on his hard, swelled head. You can’'t blame the New Yorker. Fven the inhabitant of a village feels superior to the “hick” who lives out- side the village limits. Americanism: “You can’t make a million without being crooked; [ wish 1 had an opportunity to make a million.” The kind of people who say they have certain burdens ‘*‘on their hearts” usually are careful not to get the burdens on their shoulders.

When war was declared, Connecticut already had a well- trained militia and had about completed a census of the man- power and general resources of the state. While her soldlers fought valiantly on the Western front, the folks at home sup- ported every worthy movement which tended to speed the end of the war, organized and trained the Connecticut State Guard for the suppression of hostile demonstrdtions within the statc where a large part of the munitions for all the armies was being manufactured, subscribed $437,476,103 for Liberty bonds (the highest excess above quota of subscriptions of any of the 48 states) and, when the war was over, established a fund of 2,500,000 to aid her returning veterans. Nearly 60,000 Connecticut men and youths served under the colors of the United 8tates or her allles. The provost marshal general credits Connecticut with the following enlistments and inductions from April 2, 1927, to October 31, 1218: National army, 35,639; regular army, 13,151; navy, 9,319; marine corps, 209; total 65,218. An additional 3,000 are cstimated to have “ served in the armies of the allies, Of those who served in the land forces 6,265 officers and men were casualtics. The first state troops to go overseas were largely Connecticut soldiers. These same men were in the first American division to take over a whole sector in France. Connecticut’s soldiers wrote their names in histcry by their herolc efforts at Seicheprey Marcheville, Saint Mihiel, Chateau Thierry, Aisne-Marne, Meusc- Argonne and in other engagements.

Last year Steward street, in Rel- videre, was improved. About a foot of crushed stone was jammed into the street, a layer of paving material Put on top of it, and the steam roller did the rest.
