Memorial day came to be observed atter the Civil war and has been zealously maintained by the “Boys in Blué” until thére are today vat- crant of twe Other wars who join with them in paylng tribute to comrades who have gone before. Thus to a great many of thé younger genératiéns hab a héw and deéper meaning been attached 1o l(n_nortglkdly. bacauss of thée fact that théy participated in or phéed through 4n actual perisd of war and therefore havé a différent idéa of the sacrifides, privations and sorrows connécted therewith. It should have the effect of creating a gréater interest in and respect for the proper observance of the day. For just as we can néver forget the recent War perlod neither can we alford to everlodk the similar patri- otie service that wag furnished ifi pre- vious years. Memorial 8ay must therefore become the ddy in which tribute is paid to all the heroic dead and to dll who served their country s6 vAliahtly ih time of néed, 4 day éich spring Whén the na- tion gives expression to its gratitude afd sees that the graves of the fallen both in this cotintr yand abroad are propefly marked and decked with flowers. 1t has beén repeatedly shown that this nation will rise to its obligations and its duty when oscasion requires and Whéth- er it i3 the “Boys of '61,” thosé of '98 or those of 1918, thé impression théy have left cannet fa!l to fire the count:y tn the observance of the day Which has been partietlarly set asids t their mem- ory, ahd where the veterans of the ear- struggle are showing diminished ranks there are those of more recent viotories who can be relied upon to thoulder the responsibility of faithfully carrying out each yéar the Memorial day cxercises OVERCOMING AN. INJURTICE. The action which has been tiken by Postmaster General Hays i decidedly opposéd to the stand that was taken by his predecessor concerning the exclusion of what are eonsidered radical publica- tioms from the mail. Postmaster Gefieral Hays In fact reverses the order of Mr. Burleson concernhing thé Libérator to which the latter denled the second class mailing privilege It was plainly evident from the man- ner in which he treated them that Mr. Burleson had no use whatever for the radical publications, those that were preaching 4 doctrine that he comsidered dangerous. That othérs felt the same way that he did regarding the undesirs- bility of them will have to bs admitted but it does not dlways hold that action which is faken based solely ufion feel- ngs is always the corréct one. Poéstmaster General Hays in réturning the sécond eclass privilege to the Libera- tor, makés a point of the fact that if publicationy aré 4 menace there is law by which they ecan be dealt With and that it rests with the department of jus- tice to enforce the law. Mr. Burleson, however, tdok the mattér ifito his own hands and as the redult 6f the matérial published demied it circuldtion as seo- ond class mall but permittés it to go as third class, at 2 greater éxpense to the Paper. That was 2 discrimination that was dificult to gupport. Certainly 1f sedi- tiotis matter was being published it #hould not de allowed in the mails &t 4l To make it pay third instéad of #scond class rates imposed A greater Burden upon the publication but the pos- Al service still eontinued to distribute it, simply taking mere money for its work, becanse of the radieal character of the Paper. The infusties of this, Béth to the cotth- try and the phper, ckn be §ulekly een. Mr. Hays takes a détermined stand dgfdinst such disérimination and Wwhile thé secomd class privilege is returned to it lets it Be understscd that aifrérént methods of dealing With ahy unlawénl coriduct on Its part will be employed tn the foture than the cénsor#hip methods of Mr. Butieson. —— ARMENIA STILL SUFFERING, _ How muth better protéctdd ite the As- m:n > fFom the ravages of thé thitg wéfé Quriig the period ot the war, er before? Thers are fea- 4ol for Dbelleving that thé condiflofs thére are not much différent than they Were, that the Armemians are still sub- fhet to massmeré 4nd that the Turks are néither restritmed #0r in thar 6f being sanished for Mok theatiht As théy may fesl like according these long suffer- g people. Appeal after appeal has been made In behalf of the Armenians because of the conditions to Which they have béen brought by the mefciless Turks.' And #very time a cfy from that region rolls round the world those who are’ inclined to lsten to suftéring humanity respond As geherously as they can and at the #ame time wonder why something isn't dene to put an end to such wretched con- ditions and to punish those who are fe- sponsible for them. It I8 not that there isn't a willingness to help those who have gone through such éxpériences but the situation seems to demand not only relief but deliver- khde frém those conditions which neces- Sitate the felief. Armenia needs not only Pity and relief but it stands in gore héed of that protection that will cause those Who 4re bent upon exterminating those people to leave thém severely alone and théreby give them the chance to Eét back upen their feet. Bach time the cry comes from far off Armenia it shodld send home the necessity of action that will give that country the safe- Fuards it is entitled to. AUTO DRIVERS. ‘While it may not have been demon- Strated that those between the ages of 16 and 18 in Connecticut are any more reckless or careless than they are in other states, nevertheless there are rea song for believing that it is a wWise move that has been made by the upper branch of the state legislature in striking out the provision in the auto bill which would make it possible for those aged 16 to secure a driver's license and mak- ing it necessary for a holder of a license to be at least 18. The great number of automobile acci- dents and the many fatalities make it evident that greater safety is needed in the highways. There is nothing convine- ing in the appeal that those who are 16 be just as considerate as those 18 or that highway safety would be maintained at as high a point by permit- ting younger drivers . The enthusiasm of the younger driv- ers can be thoroughly appreciated and with it would go that disposition to take chances which is irrepressible. There is too much of that already among those! who are beyond the age limit fixed and it is of the utmost importance that noth- ing should be done in the way of legis- lation that would add to the dangers of the highway. ‘What is needed is greater Instead of less protection. Certainly if age serves in any way to increase it it can be ex- pected that those of 18 will be better prepared to shoulder their responsibilities in the use of highways and respecting the rights of others thereon than those of 18. way the legislators look at the situation ahd there are reasons for believing that| the seritiment of the state will accord} therewith. The responstbilities that go with ‘the driving of automobiles cannot be t00.lightly regarded. JAPAN'E ATTITUDE. “ Word now comes to the effect that Japan is willing to talk disarmament. That is welcome news but Japan should to en- bject not only be willing but anxios ter into a conference on that with a view to actually accomp the desired end. Japan has been spending money on its naval equipment. It s made as large outlays as this country| but it has based its exyenditures upon| the amounts emsloyed such a pur-| posé by this and other countries and it has been doing fo with the idea of keep-| ing up_in the race if not outstrips those countries which now have a slightly | higher naval rating. There hive bLeen times when .Yapalhi has not displayed much interest even in| the discussion of such a thing as a na-| val holiday. Somehow it has seemed to feel that it could never listen seriously | to such a proposition until it had got- ten its navy to the limit aimed at or| until it had at least gotten to the point; where provision of funds| became a necessity. for the necessary However, Japan appears to be seeing a new light in several directions if we are to judge by reports from and re- garding the far east. It has come to see the logic of the position taken by the United States in i to the isl- and of Yan. It is manifesting a new a titude in regard to Siberfa and there is talk again qf the giving back of Shan tung to China. Thérs is the possibility that Japan has been reflecting upon its experiences. And on the other hand Japan cannot fail to understand the importance of encour- aging neace Instead of fostering trouble. That it is already feeling the financial burden of spreading ont or preparing {ts forces so that it can meet any policy of conquest is likewise evident. However, whether its naval programme has gotten to the point where it can be halted or not, the attitude now manifested by the three leading naval rjvers is such to-| ward disarmament tha: progress ought to be made when their representatives fo get together to reach an agreement.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES If you have a number of straight edges to hem, run the corners to- gether with a needle and thread Dbe- fore putting them on the hemmer, This will pérmit a continuous hem and will avoid the trouble in each case of trying to start the hem neatly. To save aprons:—Put breaths to- gether; make one inch hem to and bot- tom; make a finished belt, half inch wide, long enough to go around the waist, then run belt through hem, fasten it to apron in .center to_ pre- vent it pulling out at either end. There are five advantages of this way of mak- ing an apron. Namely, no right or wrong side; folds rarely fall inh some place; can be pulled out flat for laund- ering; can be sent to laundry as flat work, and can be turned frbm top to bottom with five minutes’ labor. In doing fancy work, if yeu find the threads draw hard or break easily, rub a littie white soap on the wrong side of the linen. Even a lather ap- plied with a brush will not harm the linen. [ e T e r e s s e SPORT SUITS. Some newer models of the sparts cuits are exceptionally attractive. The combining of homespuns in overplaid with duvetyn is particularly effective in a suit where the pleated skirt is de- veloped in homespun of a brilliant shade of red, with an overplaid in black and white.” A silk duvetyn coat is faced with the homespun of the skirt.

On July 28, 1773, John Adams wrole te Samuel Adams a letter which ccntaine] the following: “So lomg as Great Dirit- ain shall have Canada, Nova Scotia and the Floridas, or any of them, ®o long will Great Britain be the enemy of the United States, let her disguise it as much as she Wwill"” Franklin was one 6f the biggest men among the many who believed that Can- ada should have been included in the United States in the tréeaty of peace. He wrote regarding the matter: “If we ac- quire Canada also we shall be sure of a durable peace and a sweet reconcilia- tion.” But it does not appear that he urged the project to any extent after the negotiations had been formally en- tered upon. With the better knowledge, mow of the necessities of the British government and the state of warties, ag revealed by the correspondence and narratives of the period, it would seem probable that if| the cession of Canada, coupled with a substantial provision for the loyalists, had been made a condition of peace, it might have been attained; but it is evi- dent that it was not so believed at the time by the American negotiators. Lafayette, who had beeén consulted as to the schéme, and Who was deeply in- terested in the separatibn of Canada from England, was _gbotit to make a vis- 1t to Paris, and to him was to be in- trusted the plan for delivery to Dr. Franklin, by whom, sécondéd by Lafay- ette, it was to be urged upon the Fgench government. After its informal adoption the plan was sent to General Washington with request that he communicate directly with Franklin on the subject. Thereupon Washington wrote congress a long letter, strongly disapproving of the plan as im- practicable and unwise, and suggested that befors communicating with Frank- lin he should have Z pérsonal interview with congress. Accordingly Washington visited Phila- deiphia &nd the resuit was that the ex- pedition was entirely, though reluctant- Iy, given up. Washington assigned many military reasons why the plan was un- wise, but ne found one unsurmountable Sbjection. “This,” he wrote, “is the in- troduction of a large body of French tréops into Canada, and putting them i possession of the capital of that prov- Ince, attached to them by the ties of blood, habits, manners, reliizon and for- mer conception of government. 1 fear that this would bé too great a tempta- tion to ba rasistid by any nower dctuat- ed by the common maxims of national poliey.” ‘Washington expressed the smapleion that the plan originated with the French government, and that Lafayette was made the instrument of bringing it to the “attention of congress; and adds: “T hope T am mistaken. and that my fears of mischief make me|refine too much and awaken jealousies that have no suf- ficient foundation.” Unimpeachable as was the patriotism of Washington, it is no disnaragement to his character to say that his partial-| ity for the English racé saw in the oc- tupation of Canada hv a French army a serious danger to the interests of his country. In tha draft of the treaty presented by the British they at first demanded the whole of Maine. ostensthly for its tim- Ber. but really for a rafuze for the To- rles. but they finally azreed to the Saint Croix as the eastern boundary. and as the United States nushed no claim for Canada the northern territerial limit of our ecotntrv was easily adfusted. with the Mississioni river on the west. and the linés across the country north of Flori- da as the south.
