COMMANDER GALBEAITH. Not only the members of the American Legion but all others who had followed the work which he had been doing in behalf of the war vetegans, and particu- larly, the sick and disabled, will sincere- ly regret the untimely death of Ce¢lonel F.© W.

Today the British instead of gitting on ‘the fence are inclined to How ex- tensive this may become there is no way assistance would Warships are on the way to that region and it is changed. There was a new method of at- tack. The idea of a united opposition, or ascoalition ticket, was regarded as necessary and it was through such that the uninterrupted serfes of political vie- tories was broken. The duty of the voters thig year was to elect 20 judges of the circult court of Cook county and a superior court judge. The characteristic Thompson ticket was presented to be crowded down the throats of the people. Ordinarily it would have been elected. Had those of Thompson’s party who rebelled at his conduct of city affairs and the demo- crats insisted upon hage Separate tick- ets in the field also h# would also have carried the day. Fxperience suggested that the only way in which it could be expected to beat Thompson was to com- bine and present a ticket that would ap- peal to those who sought goo# govern- ment. It was adopted and it succeeded, the coalition ticket winning by hand- some majorities . Instead of being driven into following the directions of a machine that has by the results produced demonstrated to the people that good government o>uld not be expected from it, those who de- plored the conditions disregarded party lines in the interest of hetter conditions, joined hands and let it be understood that a local government of a higher char- atcer was wanted. It marks a decided change for Chicago. EDITORIAL NOTES, Murders in Connecticut are getting to be almost as frequent as automobile fa- talities.

Hpw they wriggle and squirm, stutter and falter as they try to recall what they have committed to memory: en to them and what they do om Chil- dren's day. The other day my eye fell upon this sentence: “It's the way a man sticks to & thing thet marks him s a success or a failure.” No one can question the great ‘value of tenaeity of purpose. It always seems to me that perseverance is like fire; a mighty good thing when it burns in your parlor grate filling the room with a gentle glow, or in the kitchen range gooking your codfish, or in the steam heater making the house comfort- able. That is, it is a good thing when it serves a useful purpose, and works with- in the bounds of man's control. But it is quite another matter when it bursts through the arms of law and burns’ up your house. If we are sure that we are bolding on to a thing that will prove serviceable in the end, there is but one thing we can reasonably do, and that is to hang on. But if reason tells us that we are hanging oh to a bad thing, then we ought to let go. Sticking to a bad habit, or any form of wrong is sure to end in a dismal failure. Those who can remember only faintly the stirring scenes of the Civil war will never forget the sight of the returning soldier, tattered and torn, thin and em. ciated. They will always remember what it meant to the farms and workshops and colleges of New England and the rest of the north. It is they who can really sympathize with devastated Flanders, with its darren fields and desolated homes. To them Memorial day is hal~ lowed with a sanetity that can never be forgotten. To the younger generaticn to whom the Civil war seems as remote as the Revolutionary, this thrill is large- Iy wanting, ‘because they have never had any real experience of war. This is the reason why some of us dislike to see the day made 4 mere holiday for baseball, fishing, pienics, forgetful of the great sacrifices Involved. It may be that the world war may tend to bring us into a more thoughtful and dignified usage of Memorial day. June has come to be regarded as the proper month for conventions, as it is'for weddings. ' We must have but to glance at the column of the day’s doings in any daily newspaper to see what a vari- ety of meetings are being held for almost every conceivable object. And for tae most part they are worthy of considera- tion. Of course we have more interest in some than others, particularly along the line of those that touch our daily occupa- tion. There is much to be gained by at- tending. It brings us into contact with others; we touch shoulders with those who have the same problems as we have, and learn how they o things, or do nd>t do them. It keeps a man from getting moss backed and hide bound. It is the easiest thing in the world to get into ruts and the hardest thing to get out. No age was ever more intolerant of slow, rusty, back number men and women than this! Let us get out and recharge the dead batteries! Do the people of any city emjoy eqanl privileges? This is a question that may properly be asked anywhere in the Unit- ed States. Is it not a fact that those who live on the boulevards and other fine residential secticns have conveniences that are sternly denied to those living in the less desirable quarters? Is this the plain statement of fact or only the grouch of envy? Let us see. If there are only a few streets of a city to be oiled, which ones are they? Some of the oulying streets that never had a bit of oil since they were laid out? And where the peo- ple always pay taxes. Or the sam eones that are always oiled when any are? And where does the watering cart always go? And where does it seldom if ever g5? Where are those streets wheve black cin- ders are put to be ground into black powder to encourage the poor man who has been saving for a year to paint his house white? There fs still room in our cities for the application of democracy. “Safety first” may be either the dietum of pruden or the watchword of cow- ardice. When doubt arises in 1 man’: mind as to what he ought to d> in re- lation to himself or others doing the safe thing is usually the right thing When it applies to the investment of money, especially in case itad funds, “safety first” wise rule to go by. Or when a course of action comes up when the choice made involves one's health, there is but one rational thing to be done and that is to be fopnd on the safe side. But there is a world of experince and opportunity where the “safety first” idea has no right to enter. When our country was appeal- ing to young men to save the world from German ageression, the notorious Berg- doll family went on the prineiple of “safe- ty first” which resulted in cowardly slackers. There are times 'when one's honor is of more importance than his safety. Tf I can save another from death or accldent and make no &ffort be- cause it may interfere with safety every law of God will brand me as a coward. We can’t always go by “safety first.” It is very easy to say that “the world was never in such a serfous condition as today.” But it Is quite another thing to prove the statement, which is doubtless far from the truth. Tt has too mmnch the ring of the calamity howler. Yet nn one but a fool will say say there are no serjous problems confronting us at the present time. And one of them is the growing housing situation speclally in our big citles. Houses are not belng bufit in proportion to the increase of population, hence congestion is becomine more and more acute. But the most alarming feature of the situation s the advantage taken of the congestion by the Jand'ords. Rents are being rafsed to a prohibitive paint to all except the rich. In some places the people are rising in very just indiemation an dare demanding fed- feral interference in the matter. T have ha occasion to say mor® than once in thése naragraphs that the modern profiteer is a blood retative of the robher baron of medieval times and that the breed docs not imnrave with age. There are dark days fa everybody's life and in the career of every nation. If we think that present Himes are rather blue it will act as a tenie to recall what was the political situation just sixty years ago. On April 12, 1861 Fort Sumter was fired upon; the mext day the brave Major Andersen surrendered. April 15, President ILincoln called . for 75,000 troops; April 18, Harper's Ferry was seized by the confederates; April 17 Massachusetts troops were fired upon in Baltlmore, and on June 10—just sixty years ago yesterday was the Battle of Big Bethel the first real victory gained by the confederates. A big wave of d- pression swept over the north which was not lifted on June 15 when Great Britain and France recognized the confederate states as belligerents. It seemed as though the sympathy of the world was being turned against us.

There’s nothing the matter With that climate. It's weather that don't rightful- Iy belong there that makes the trouble.” . ‘The high official to whom I was talk- ing tibped back in his chair and went on. “You just asked why tht New ¥ng- land climate was so varlable, and that's the answer.” Then the. weather man ex- plained by word, book and chart how it happens that the valieys of the Connecti- cut, the Merrimack and the big Maine rivers are the catch-alls for storms from all seetions of the country and for storms that orizinate across the seas as well, sometimes Including those that start out on a course that sweeps them along to the United States frem China or the Phil- ippines. “Just as all roads ones led to Rome 80 now all stoyms lead to or from. the St. Lawrence valley. al] Sweather up there would be as stealy going and congervative as sre its peo- the valleys of New England. The St. Lawrence valley is the bottle into which storms from England is thk neck of that storm bot- tle through which they start on a course turther south.\'New England has 2 fine natural elimate but it is very grossly interferred with by weather that has fumped its own reservation.” The majer went on to explain that an area of low darometer and an area of hizh barome- tor often selected New England in which to fight out their differences. The cgol west winds and the hot south winds meet on this common ground ; blizards from Canada and warm xl sections pour, and New north and picks out New England as a highway to the cyclone that struck havoe through the Connectieut valley a year or s0 ago and was directly traceable to one that started down on the Gulf Stream. New England can peint with pride te the sort of weather that is hers by right of inheritance, but as long as the unde- sirable elements from ofker sections con- tinue to use the New England valleys as a public highway she must bear the repu- tation of being fitful, variable, and even submit to Mark Twain’s comment that New England didn’t have a climate—only weather. From New England climate the talk with the weather bureau official turned “What is the differ- ence between a thunder storm and 2 thunder shower?”’ I asked. “It is a mat- ter of intensity, not duration,” was the answer. Then the major gave a clear descrintion of how the thunder storm originatedy he talked of tornadoes and cvelones—or whirls, as he called them. He pointed on the big chart to innumer- able little fizures and dlagrams which to an expert spelled in plain terms the state of the weather all over the United to thunder storms.

It sounded perfectly and #imple 88 he explained it, but mere layman who would tries to pass along ed, and before he got through wonld'n know whether he was going or comins. Commenting on thi storms and the safe-guarding of property and life from lightening, the major gave valuable in- formation and paid a tribite to the knowledge of ouf forebears Which im- pelled them to/seek safety in feather beds when the storm was at ‘its ‘height— “What is the best protection for build- ings in a storm?’ I asked. “Lightening rods” replied he withont 2 moment’s hes- itation. The major then went on to say that a rodded building, even though the rods might not be in perfect order was far less liable to damage by lightening than an unrodded building. A well rod- ded building js practically free ‘from danger. As proof of thi sstatement statis- ties were shown where out of 525 cases of buildings reported to have been struck by lightening enly thfee were mention- ed as having been equipped with rods. In cities the danger {s much less thas in isolated buildings, “A broken rod is much better than no rod at all,” was the answ- er to one of my auestions. Incidents were cited where great trees have becn protected by rodding In order that their beauty might never be marred by light- ening., Here are a few of the safety facts for personal protection during storms, as given by the weather expert at the bureau: “First of all don’t scorn your grandmother’s feather bed,” said the Weather bureau man, who said he had no fear of storms and watched them closely, counting the seconds between the flash and the thunder so as fo egtimate the distance. But he was auite willing to talk about safety devices for others. He even agreed that the woman who puts on her rubbers, wraps herself in silk, or insulates her chair with glass cups -is following a line of scientific precaution. 1t i rubber gloves that the linemen use, when handling wires: it is glass insula- tors that are used by telegraph com- panies; It is silk and gutta percha that come in for their share of use as insu- lators. Nearby hizh trees and slated roofs are regarded as a protection to un- rodded houses. Sometimes hume quanti ties of high explosives are protected b: an off-standing wire cage, Which serves to cary off any dischargé. Here in Wash- ington the monument and eapitol dome are protected and though they have heen struck many times, no damage has been done. A table showing the deaths by lighten- ing in several New England states gave the figures for death by lightening in 1909 in the state of Connecticut to have been three but in the next three foilow- Ing vears the deaths from that cavse were only one each year. PBut whatever happens, don’t blame the New England climate for it—just put the blame on the shoulders of the St: Lawrence valler. Of course it was not intenmtionai, but literally, it was “pouring coals of fire upon their heads.” {ETTERS TO THE EDITOR Make Streets Safe For Childrem. Mr. Editor: Doesn’t it seem about time that something was done towards mak- ing our city streets more safe for ehil- dren, or must we sit idly by and wait until another child is killed and an- other family filled with dumb despair? We have signs at the entrances to the ciyt which- caution the motorist to slow down to six miles per hour, but this speed is exceeded every day. What the city should do is to mount a cop on & motorcycle and give him orders to ar- rest every offender of the automobile laws and then give them a stiff fine. Then maybe we wouldn't have to say “It was too bad,” so often. CHARLES R. LEWIS. Norwich, June 8, 1921. Monument and Fountain, Mr. Editor: As a citizen of Norwich I wish to express my views regarding the way the people haye honored the world war veterans, and the men who gave their lives for their country. What fas the eity done in memory of these men? It has nailed up a few planks in front of the city hall and painted their names on them for the sun and rain to wash off. Why doesn’t the city erect a monument in Union or Franklin square for the hon- ored dead, with a drinking fountain at its base? ‘What has the chamber of commerce done toward it? In regard to t W great White Way you don’t need that. There are no high_ buil to require it. Put the money into a substantial monument and a drinking fountain, EUGENE D. HOUGHTON. Norwich, June 9, 1921, ODD INCIDENTS HISTORY IN AMERICAY B s e T SIMON GIRTY, THE WHITE INDIAN, Though Simon Girty was one of most unique and lurid characters that ever figured in the annals of the west; thougli the part he played among the Indian tribes was frequently important and sometimes conspicuous, and though bis life was a tragic romance from the cradle to the grave, yet all that was known of him for more than 100 years was comprised in a few widely scattered fragments written entirely by his ene- mies and disfigured By errors and incon- sistencies, Simon Girty was known as the White Indian, and was born in a little back- woods scttlement in Pennsylvania, not far from the present site of Harrisburg. His father was an Irishman who traded with the Indians. In the summer of 1756 the parents were murdered and the children were apportioned among various Indian tribes, Simon being taken by the Senecas. Unheard of for years, the cap- tive brothers roamed with their adepted tribes. Simon remained a prisoner untfl 1758, when he was released. Being an active loyalist, he left Pennsylvania at the be- ginning of the Revolution, became a leader of the savages, and was congern- ed in many atrocities. It was while Gir- ty was in the Ohio country that the most creditable act of his life took place. The Indians who were then constantly on the war path brought home many captives, and among them the redoubtable Stmon Kenton, whom they had doomed to the stake, when he was recognized by Girty with astonishment and delight. as an old comrade of the Dunmore expedition. At once, and at the risk of destroying both his standing and influence among his inflamed and suspicious people, Girty exerted himself to the utmost te save him, and at length, after the most ear- nest and impassioned speeches, he suc- ceeded, and taking the rejoicing Kenton to his own bin, he fed him, clothed him and dressed hiz neglected wounds. Wkite Indian as Girty was, and rene- gade, he exhibited on this occasion at least a generosity and nobility of soul which would have done credit to a more enlightened and more civilized charac- ter. The British, however, soon made use of him to perpetrate acts the very reverse of this one, and not very long atter the Kenton incident he made his first appearance in the character of an emissary among the Moravian Indlans with his evil advisers, Eiliot and Mc- Kee, and with them sought to instigate that peaceful community to join the war against the Americans. In January, 1779, as leader of a band of savages, he and defeatad 2 marty of Clonti- the | lnen&al soldiers under Capt. John Clarke, not far from his old familiar haunt, Fort Pitt. ‘The Girty brothers accompanied Col. Byrd when he invaded Kentucky in 1780, and it was when the force was return- ing to the Indian country that one of its detachments, commanded, it is alleged, by Simon Girty, defeated Col. David Rogers as he was conveying a load of ammunition up the Ohio for the Ameri- cans at Fort Pitt. This victory, though not remarkable for the number of men concerned, was one of the most complete and crushing of the minor engagements of the strug- gle, and must have convinced the In- dians that their white brother was a brave of more than ordinary military ca- pacity, for when Clarke retaliated, Gir- ty was glven ‘no insignificant part of the conflict, though it is claimed that on one occasion the reckless bravery of the Kentuckiang caused him to draw off his savages with the remark that “it was useless to fight fools and madmen.” In August, 1782, Girty again invaded Kentucky, and with 600 Indluns made an attack on Bryan's Station near Lexing- {ton, which was garrisqned by fifty men. |After an unsuccessful ambuscade Girty laid siege to the fort till the approach of reinforcements, under Daniel Boone, {caused him to retreat. He was rapidly |pursued, and the battle of the Blue Licks [followed, in which many of tie Kentucky |leaders lost their lives. This was the last great Indian battle on Kentucky |soil. In the same year Girty was active in the expulsion of the Moravian mis- |slonartes, who had been laboring quletly {among the Wyandottes. | He ilved for some time on Sandusky Iriver, where he had established a trading station, and planned and led many ma- |rauding excursions. He was present at Gen. Arthur St. Clalr's defeat in 1791, and directed a savage to kill and scalp Gen. Richard Butler, who lay wounded on the field. Girty acted as interpreter lo the com- missioners that were appointed by the United Statcs government to meet the Indians in 1793, and treated them with {insolence, finally securing the failure of the negotiations. He also alded the British in the war of 1812, and is sald, |by some authorities, to have been killed in the battle of the Thames in 1813, while others say that he died a natural death two years later, (Monday—The Newgate of Connecticut.) | The woman of the hour is the one who says she will be ready in a minute, Mrs. WAGNER . of PALM BEACH g g’ia s5gh Our usual week-end assort- ment of Chocolates. 1. 50c.
