CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING NOV. 8th, 1919, ARMISTICE DAY. is the first anniversary of the armistice that brought to an end the; fighting in the great war in Europe. k- armistice is gtill in effect and it is but natural that the people of this country should give thought today to the impotrant event of a year ago and the struggle that led up to it. Many there were even in the fighting liges where their comrades were being pick- ed off by the bullets from the fleeing enemy who felt that the time had not come for ending the conflict. They Telt that after all the frightfulness that had been practiced by the enemy in surging over the territory of Bel- givm 2nd France that there ought to be 10 cessation of allied operations until German soil had been reached and enough scars left to let it be re- elired what Germany had dohe to its neighbors, Germany, however, was beaten, the morale of its troops was broken and the outcome was Inevitable. What Germany saved in keeping its territory intact by agreeing to thc armistice terms Dboth sides likewiss gained in human lives, and it was the fact that tue irighitul struggle was over, that thesc in 1he field would not longer be human targets and that ths dear ones| who bad gone into battle and lived| and others waiting te do so would re- turn that caused the entire country to go wild with joy at the announcemenf that the armistice was signed. To say that the thation is grateful for the services performed by its sol- diers and sailors, those who made the supreme sacrifice as well as those who Iived to tell of their experiences, only cxpresses it gnildly. Their perform- ances will never be forgotten. Their valor and courage will ever be an in- spiration to coming generations to do| their utmost for their country and even though todar the war is not technically over the nation will not let the anniversary pass without fuil regard for its significanc SPECIAL DAYLIGHT LAW. Daylight saving is again coming to the front and from the expressions that are being given and the action that Is being taken in large centers there is evidence of a strong desire for the continuation of the plan even though the federal law has been re- scinded This was emphasized by the meet- | ings of the mayors of the state at New Haven, called by Mayor Fitzgerald of that city, when sentiment was strong- Iy manifested in its behalf. Following New York, Hartford has already| through its counci] sanctioned the plan for that city and other communities are alive to the benefits that are fur- nished thereby and anxious to see that ihey are preserved. It is fully appre- clated that even though the entire country is not included in the move- ment there is no reason why any par- ticular section cannot be. The idea of the mayors of the state was however to start the first state- wide move of thig kind in New Eng- larid and a committee will therefore wait upoy the governor for the pur- pose of getting him to call a special session of the general assembly in or- der to take action thereon. This isn't the first matter for which the gov- ernor has been asked to call a special session of the legislature and from the petitions that have been present- ed to him for such a purpose it seems likely that there would “have to be a session every month or so, or else & continuous session, in order to ac- commodate the many appeals. A special session of the legislature is supposed to be restricted to dealing with an emergency, Possibly the gov- ernor will look upon this daylight saving plan as an emergency matter but in view of the stand he has taken vegarding other petitions for special sessions the chances don't seem bright, Bowever much daylight saving is de- sired. BELLING MERCHANT SfiIPS. « Wyom the action taeken by the lower pouse of congress cvidence is glven that there is a strong sentiment in cangress in behalf of the government getting out of the business of main- talning a merchant marine. That there is need of & large amount of shipping in this country camnot be questioned, but it is anparently the sentiment of* the national law mak- competing with private capital in the ownership and operation of the same. of the vessels that the gov- ernment had contracted to butid will not be finighed. Others will not be started because the contracts have been cancelled and the big tonnage owns, be sola if the bill passes. - In' behalf eof the order to sell even are worth, = l One feature of the bill that has been wisely included is that which “directs that the vessels be sold to American’ interests. Through this provision it ig intended to keep up our merchant marine instead of distributing it among the many foreign shippers who are anxious to get ships wherever they can be acquired. The difference be- tween what the vesseis cost and what they will bring will give some idea of this part of the work cost but it seems likely it will Be some time be- fore that amount will be known. P — TREATY WITH RESERVATIONS. It has been made evident by the votes taken in the senate that there will be no amendments to the of peace including the league of na- tions in spite of determined efforts to secure them for the protection country. It has likewise been made equally clear from the balloting that while amendments are not favored! reservations are and not entirely by a. partisan vote. This strengthens the' belief that the programme of the for- eign relations committee for making reservations in connection with the ratification of the treaty will go through in all its essential details. But what will be the sentiment of the democrats now opposing the res- ervations in case they are adopted and the question comes up of acting upon the treaty conmtaining them? Just at the present time there are those who are irying to give the impression that they will refuse to approve the treaty under such conditions and that they will prefer to let ratification fail ra- ther than to accept them. Thus the democrats find themselves as Former President Taft says in great embar- ragsment with no one to blame but themselves. In this connection.it is the advice of the ex-president who has been an ar- dent advocate and supporter of the treaty as drawn that the wisest course for the democrits to take now is to do their best to bring about such mod- ifications in the reservations as they may have in mind rather than delay- ing action and trying to put them through after refusing to approve the treaty with the reservations the com- mittee has planned. Likewise he dis- approves the idea of the president not submitting the treaty ratlfied with resolutions declaring that a treaty is made by the president with the ad- vice and consent of tire genate. That advice and consent is not to be ig- nored and the senate is indicating that it doesn't intend that it shall be. BOUNCING THE TROLLEYS. With - troliey companies--going -into the hands of receivers. others selling out to communities only to event- ually get into the hands of wrecking companies and still others aisposing of their equipment directly to those who will remove it elsewhere! or use it for junk, it 18 a decidedly in- | teresting situation that has developed‘ in Toledo. There, like everywhere else, .in- creased expenses without a propor- tionate increase in receipts forced the company to charge a six cent fare and put a price of two cents additional on transfers. Though higher prices pre- vail for everything else there was re- sentment over the se in fares with the result that tho moror of the ity proposed to the council that the company’s privil be rescinded and it be denied the right to do business there. The action of the council was submitted to a vole of the neople and it was approve I something over 200 votes. Ju: soon as this was substantiated the trolley pany removed eil its rolling s an adjoining state and Toledo i; out a trolley car and instead of pay- ing six or dight cents for fares it paying auto luses and other mo cars two and three t'mes that amount when it is pos to get aboard. | For the people in a city the sizo of | Toledo to be denic e usual t portation facili; caused them to open their eyes what has been done and who W sponsible for it. Ixcept among th falr minded there will be great indig- nation at this new turn in the mat- ter, but strange as it may seem 1 these days of high prices there is a disposition to what is asked in most every direction, or a fair price at least, 'until it comes to the trans- portation charge, and there even the slightest intrease, no matter how jus- tified brings forth determined op- position. Toledo is experiencing a sit- uation which few others have, how- ever. | has EDITORIAL NOTES. Now that the elections are over at- tention can be given to Thanksgiving day preparations. 3 If the coal strike is called off today, who is going to make up the large coal shortage that has been created by the strike? Sir Thomas Lipton feels sure he will lift the cup the next time, o There's nothing the matter with his optimism at any rate. Omabha is said to be looking for pub- lieity in movies. It certainiy got the Kind it didn't want from its recent | race riot. The man on the corner says: Most jeviryuody s experienced enoagh to | know that all dreams will not come | true. Many are going to Europe because they cannot get beer enough here. Too bad the real undesirables are not sim- ilarly bothered, There is absolutely no evidence that there will be a chance to be thankful for a reduction in the price of turkeys this Thanksgiving. A New York jury is to probe the un- derworld police graft in that city. Isn't that about what was predicted when Mayor Hylan put out the old and in the new police commissioner? It is pretty tough on foreign ships that have been held up in New York harbor by an unauthoriZed longshore- men's strike to be deprived of bunker though it is not possible to get what veasels cost the government, built they were under conditions, th is appreciated that ship values today but that with the coal because of another illegal strike here. It can be expected that other po- lice forces will consider that they can do what the bluecoats in Boston couldn’t, but the results in the Hub are going to be a gulde to many of them. —— One whe fought for hig country of- fered to dig coal for his country, apd Wwhen we stop to think that soft coal miners get from $200 to $400 a month and a soldier but $20 it seems enly that he should have the chance. TAIK'S “The high cost of living,” remarked the sensible looking girl, “has affected :va'ythln‘ I know of but one supreme uxury.” . “Well, I'd like to know what—" her friend' ' in an objecting tone of volrs, . - % Ak *“Talk!” cut in the sensible looking girl as she adjusted a patch to the sleeve of a last year's blouse. “Talk is every bit as cheap and every bit as enjoyable as it ever was. People don't realize how much pleasure they get out of talklag, or they’d be more grateful. Talk can make up for the lack of 8o many things. If you ean’t have something you want you can at Jeast talk about it. which is half the pleasure of having it, anyway. “fm thinking of that family of Gi who dive next door to us. Know em? No? Lucky!. Well, they'fe the biggest talkers of any people I've ever ¥nown. When they first came there to live I went to call and Mrs. Green be- gan to tell me about Florida and the (g f~vre and about the pew car they were thinking of buying i eo mausic_bOX Mr. Green intend- ed giving her on her birthday. I be- gan to think they must be pretty rich. And then when she went on to say how hard it was to get servants in the town they had come from and what lovely Persian rugs they were selling at a place downtown for fabulgusly iow prices—like $1,500 or so—I went home fetling that we had a miliion- aire to give tone to the neighborhood. “I spent several afternoons on the porch listening for {hit new music box and hoping to be invited out in their new car, but I wasn'ta As a matter of fact the car didn't materialize, or the music box, either. When Mrs. Green came to call she didn’'t say any more about them, because she was so full of the idea of buying a summer place up in Michigan, a nice, inexpensive lit- tie cottage they'd heard about for only $4.000! F “By that time I began to feel that the Greens were really worth culti- vating, so I went to call again very soon, expecting to see one of those Persian rugs on the floor. But Mrs, Green explained that they had de- cided not to buy any furnishings until they had built their new house. They meant to have a large colonial house with an acre or so of ground for the children to play in. Then she got to talking about her' plans for her daugh- ter's education. They meant to send Margaret to an expensive school on the Huw and then have her study art abroad, she had such wonderful talent. And had I seen the fur sale down at Smith's? T really ought to buy something, sealskin coats were s low as three hundred and fifty. No, she hadn't bought any because they were thinking of going south that year. m— 3 T never heard anybody enjoy talk- ing as much as Mrs, Green did and I enjoyed listening to her, too. It gave me an awfully prosperous sort of feel- ing. She went on that way for days be.ore it struck me as queer that none of her wonderful talk really mater- falized and that she was really wear- ing snabby old clothes and slaving like a dog to keep her simple little estab- lishment, in order. She kept on tall ing bigger than ever until one day I happened to ask her how much time they had spent in Florida, and she said ‘Two weeks—on our wedding trip; and got sort of fussed. “After that I began to find out things about tife Greens. Mr. Green is a clerk in a downtown office and doesn't earn a cent over two thous- and a year, and they have four chil- dren and a pretty hard time to get along. But that doesn't stop their talking. Talk's cheap. It's just as eagy for Mrs. Green to make plans about things she'd like to do as it is CHEAP for Mrs. Gray, who has barrels of money. Just now she's- thinking of getting. a $1,000 Chow #5g 1Ior the children to play with, and of buying a farm down in Virginia.” “Good gracious!” commented the r{ier:ds: “she must have an imagina- tion!™ = “Of . course she hés; that's the fun. And I'm cultivating one myself. I'm thinking of going fo Honolulu - next summer, and taking you along as my companion. Come on, Sue, and get in the game. It doesn’t cost a cent.’— Chicago News. OTHER VIEW POINTS year the foothall writers kill time geiting - up discussionls whether Coy. Heston, Thrope, Mahan or one of two or_three others was the greatest football back in history. They usually leave out the important qualifying fact. A football k's ef- fictency depends upon the line that protects him. 's great career ‘was due to having in front of him a great and almost impregnable ine. The same man with a weaker line would have been merely a star of promise who never' could do capacity work because he couldn’t get a chance—Waterbury American. The mineér’s strike then is practical- ly a secession and the action of the government is like that of meeting rebellion. In ti#s strike the people oth- er than labor men are with the gov- ernment even more than they were in the steel strike. There is a limit to patienee and endurance. It is not the operator’s coal that the miners re- fuse to dig, but the public’s, and the public has the biggest word to say in this matter. Class power is being used to the limit by the miners and the show down which has been 13ng coming is here, and we might as well face it now as compromise and face it later—Bridgeport Standard-Tele- gram.
