That it is the intention to have the rallroad labor board exercise the limit of jts authority in connection with the threatened strike of the railroad broth- erhoods is indicated by the move that has been made and the warning issued. With the ire of the effort to bring about a prevention of the strike by call- ng the representatives of the brother- hoods Into o conference it becomes evi- dent that the cail for a strike has been issued without a submission to the la- bor board the grievances of the brotherhoods or a hearing thereon. It fa thus recognized that the proposed strike is a strike against the labor board without making an cffort through the ba’ channels to effect an ad- justment, and in the warning issued to the brotherhoods not to strike without &n dolng it becomes evident that any strike entered into disregarding such warning will further set nublic opinion against the course which has been indi- cated by the railroad men Jt should be determ.ned as the re- 1t of th action whether it is the i of the brotherhoods to defy th agency which has been established by th csnditiens of tantion government for dealing with such the as exist.

In several Connecticut citles there has recently been an expression of feeling in regarding to the city mana- ger form of government. In the neigh- boring city of New London that form has been adopted and the old form has been succeeded by the new with the city manager yet to be named. The claim has been made that this was the only way in which it was possible to get rid of undesirable conditions under the mayor and council form and the ex- periment will of course get close atten- tion from other Connecticut cities. New Haven at about the same time decided it wished nothing of the kind. A decade or so ago there were strong efforts put forth throughout the country lin behalf of the commission form of government, a step less highly central- ized than the city manager plan. Low- ell was one of the cities which was im- pressed by the merits of such a plan and it joined the procession putting afide the long established form to be found in most cities of the country. In the ten years' trial Lowell, according to the special election result this wegk has had enough. "With about haif of the voters participating Lowell has decided by a majority of more than 600 to abandon the commission government and go back to the mayor and council form, adooting a new charter to that effect without including in the referen- dum the possibility of the city manager form. Loweil has found the need of reviv- ing public interest in municipal af- fairs. It has become dissatisfied with without voice in public affairs and it has disliked the high tax rate under the commission form, and believes that it is for its best interests to get back to what used to be. There will be a mayor and a council of 15 in a city of over 112,000, with some of the council heads to be elected by the couneil and others to be named by the mayor with the council's apporoval. Biennial elec- tions will be held, the head of the po- lice department is outside the control of the mayor and department heads can be suspended by the mayer, over which the council has a veto power while the ocounecil can dismiss such without the approval of the mayor. Lowell has turned and is going back to fight it out on the old line. It has profited from experience. STATESMEN OF THE WORLD. Quite i® keeping with the prominence of the mwa In their respective countries 1s the character of the receptions whicl {have been given this week to arrivals {from Kurope, leaders in their national affairs. General Diaz, head of the armies of italy, a sodier from boyhood who rose from the ranks and made a glorious record for his country during the re- cent war, was the first to arrive on a {mission of good will and friendship to the people of this country. His plans call for an extensive trip about the country and it is to be expected that he will be accorded at every stop a wel- come in keeping With that he received on his ‘entrance into the country. He has been foliowed by Admiral Beatty, the intrepid leader of the Brit- ish navy whose sérvices were of such great va'ue on the high seas during the world struggle and whose conduct of the Jutland fight terminated anw future ambition on the part of the Germna fleet to come forth for tattle. Admiral Beat- ty comes to attend the conference on the limitation of armaments. At the same time the country is re- ceiving a visit from Venizelos, the Greek statesman and leader whose in- fluence has been 2 mighty force in that country. It was through his wolic that Greece attained many of its ambi- tions and there will be more than the Greeks who will give him a rou welcome as he comes to these shores. These visitors are oniy a few of those who are on the way or will soon be here. Marshal Foch will be acclaimed from coast to coast as he goes.about the country because of the masterly service he rendered during the war. Others whose service as statesmen has been of vital character before, during and since the war will be weicomed as they come here for z friendly visit or participation in the coming conference which is bound to be of such vital im- portance to entire world. Within {the next few weeks the country is to be the gathering p'ace of some of the great men of the world, and naturally the country is gratified at the opportunity to entertain them. EDITORIAL NOTES. Christmas is coming, and so, accord- ing to the latest information, s Lloyd George. Almost every day there is new evi- denec which goes to show why prohi- bition doesn’t prohibit. Tt will certainly be tough if 1t works out that the cost of living actually bothers the former kmiser. The man on the corner says: Even though there s a limit there are those who insiét on gofng beyond. The rafiroad brotherhoods stirred up the people in many ways but not in a manner that will react to their credit. Voliva is claiming that the earth is flat and fixed. The probability is he never got beyond a western prairie. No, Christobel, it !s not the smoke of battle but the burning of the fallen leaves that is blurring the landscape. A Massachusetts man has made his own gravestone but that doesn’t com- pare with those who dig their own graves. Those who haven't any coal in their cellars, and are fearing a raflroad strike, carmot claim that they were not adequately warned. { With orders for $13,000,000 worth of locomotives coming tc this country in- stead of going to Germany, it doesn’t indicate that we hawe lost our ability to compete for export business. Germany ‘failed to reflect on the ef- fect of the loss of the war. It might be well if remembered that in comnec- tion with the trouble it promises it- self in connection with the Upper Si- lesian award. Discretion is the better part of valor. the manner in which the people were | Just what the relstion is between in- stinct and intelligence has always a puzzle to mental science. While no one has been able to tell where the ome ends and the other begins, still it is generally believed that there is a difference be- tween them. Were that question settled, the foilowing would immediately arise: Is instinct a safe guide to' follow? That it has a certain preservative quality can- not be denied. The manner in which the lower animals—and man, too, for that matter—know just what to do in the mo- ‘ment of danger, and how to protect them- selves: in "winter, shows this abundantly, And vet instinct plays both man and beast some dirty mean tricks, When the hungry fish sees the wriggling worm, why doesn't instinct cry out “Beware?’ But she does nothing of the kind, dbut calmly lets the poor dupe swallow ‘“bait, hook and. sinker.” When a boy is tempted to do something that wiil break his mother’s heart,” why doesn" i shout “It is the way of hell,” but she does nothing, and hence the problem. “It's ‘s long lane that has no turning” applies to the whole scope of human’ex- perience. There are no streaks of de- sirable things that are continuous; they have their day, be it longer or shorter. All the ill things of life likewise have their limitations. No living being ever had typhoid fever that did not turn— twenty-one days of it is quite enough for most persons. The road always turns in time just as truly as the blackest mid- night always merges into the morning light. It is also well that the highways of joy and happiness at length turn. Peter wanted to stay all the time on the De- lectable Mount with his ransfigured com- panions, but Jesus knew that it would be better for Peter to get down into the grime and grind at the foot of the hill. Little Johnny would like to sit at the table for ten hours and eat nothing but raspberry jam, but the road must turn in less than fifteen minutes if Johnny is to save his diaphragm. Of copurse, our in-' comparable September couldn't last, if it had the earth would be cursed by drought. There Is an old homely saying about “riding a free horse to death” that hasn’t entirely lost its application in this very considerate and modest age. Did you ever hear this remark: “Let us put Mrs. Blank on the committee, for she never turns anything down?” The inference is that Mrs. Blank is “just crazy” to be in- vited. Quite apart from the crueity and injustice of the remark, as a matter of fact there are a large number of Mr. and Mrs. Blanks in this world who are hard-working, good-natured, conscien- tious people who consent to be on all sorts of committeés because 30 per cent. of the people are shirks. If it were not for these people Who never turn any work down there is not a fown in New England that would be alive in tem years, They are not anxious to be in the limelight, but are there to save society, knowing they will be ridden to death and —criticised. Are we not, in both church and state, getting to be overburdened with super- fluous machinery? Those who had any- thing to do with the government during the war exclaim with a good dea! of vigor “Never again!” A feeling of thanksgiving creeps into their hearts as they realize that they are still outside of the insane retreat. Why this unhappy recoilection? Were they not patriotic? Were they unwilling to do their part as citizens during that terrtbile strife? By no means. They simply remember how the work was hampered by a useless system of red tape junk that held up necessary work and caused suffering among our soldiers. Useleas machinery was created for somebody who wanted a job, and he usually got it if he had a big enough pull. We see the same thing in church matters today, overlapping com- mittees are created for the jobless, and, like empty looms, they make & clatter, but they get a salary. “God leadeth men.by strange ways.” No one familiar with Old Testament his- tory will be inclined to dispute this state- ment. It would also seem that in post BEiblical 4imes many leaders of the world’s thought were under a special providence. But is there not some close | have his eyes treated. connection between a man’'s inherent ability and leadewship directed from without? For inetance, in a vision the apostle Paul saw standing before him a man of Macedonia, saying “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” Would such a vision as this ever come to an idiot or a degenerate? Did it not come to Paul because, like Cecil Rhodes, he “thought in terms of continemts?’ Was not this man of Macedonia the creation of his own fervid desire and Christian imagination? When it is said that men of old—and, perhaps, men of today—are led by the Spirit, may it not be through the extra activity of one's own powers? ‘When it is affirmed that one is led by an “‘unseen force,” is_it anything more than a rhetorical way of Saying that his own foresight is functioning? In one of our Comnecticut cities not long ago a feeble old man in crossing the street was hit by a trolley, receiving an injury which proved fatal In discussing the subject, one woman said to another: “The motorman didn’'t stop his car—in time.” A very important lesson can be drawn from this fact. Thousands of ac- cidents occur every day and many of them fatal simply because somebody did not stop something—in time. I once knew a man who went to a doctor to The doctor said bluntly: “Step drinking poor rum or you'll be bifnd—and stop now!” The man did stop—but not in time. He died blind. How many a victim of the great “white plague” heard their doom pro- nounced in these words: “You ought to have tended to this matter in time!” How many people have not only lost their lives but have otherwise falled simply because some essential things were not tackled—In time. The secret of success ip any calling for a great part lies in the interest that calling awakens. We are wiling to work, and work hard, for the things that inter- est us, We are willing to be, and want to be, in those places where we find in- terest. We will not work, uniess under compulsion, for those things, those per- sons, or in those places, if interest is wholly lacking. This, I believe, is. the nerve cefiter of the problem of church non-attendance. Waitch the crowd that blocks the sidewalk where a game be- tween the Giants and the Yankees is be- ing reported. We all know way they are there. It is not fair t3 iay the charge of church non-attendance to the automo- bile, the Sunday paper. the trolley, the picnic and other means of diversion.

They wanted to reach Africa. Strange, but true. Long time ago? Not at all. 1t was in 1839, when the United States was something Of a nation, and Martin Van Buren was President. It came about in part be- cause of a joke; one that cost the perpetrator of it his life. There had reached Havana a short time before a ship of the usual cramped type, bringing many hundred captives from the district of Mendi, Africa. A slave driver had purchased 49 of the captives paying $450 each for them. Crossing Atlantic ali had been in chains, but this slave driver thought his property S0 tractable that when he pliced his slaves aboard' “The Armistad” he al- lowed the wrists and ankles, raw from the chains that had been on them for wecks, to heal by leaving the chains off. He was not humane. He was not far from his plantation, and he want- ed his slaves te be fit to work for hin. ! . : One of the captives asked the cook where they were to go and what for. ‘The cook made a joke. He replied they were to be killed and eaten. How could captives fai, to believe him? ‘Was he himseif not & cook? Right here a bit of rightebus manhood as- serted itself in the hearts of the cap- tives, They killed the cook, the cap- tain and the slave driver, and taking charge of the small craft, built only for the waters of the West Indies, headed it as they supposed for home, for Africa. Ignorant without compass, the wonder was they did not go to the bottom. Luckily, however, they brought up on the extreme end of Long Island, much to the astonishment of the fishermen there. A government boat towed them and their “Amistad” to New London harbor, and they were taken to a jail in New Haven. Here came in all sorts of compli- cations, in which the rights of the captives were by no means the larg- est factors, save in the hearts of a few peoplc. And these people were by no means all of New England, Here were slaves. They were the property of a Spanish gentleman, and Spain was on its job protecting Spanish rights .and property. Slave owners of the United States were alert, but so were a few other people. Three men, the Rev. Simeon S. Jocelyn, the Rev. Joshua Leavitt, and Lewis Tappan, the last named a New York business man formed the “Amistad Committee,” and together they went into the courts. It was in September when the case went to court ore Judge Thompson, whose decision was that “while slavery is not tolerated in Connecticut, it does not follow that the right of these Span- ish claimants cannot be investigated here in the proper court of the United /States.” The discharge of the Africans was therefore refused, but as Judge Thompson had decided that they had committed no crime against our laws they were now given much more free- dom, and on pleasant days were taken out on the New Haven Green for. ex- ercise. Within the jail they had much more freedom. The appeal was now to the district court. Judge Judson, who presided, had best been known as having brought LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lucky Scetland Mr. Editor: The town of Scotland can boast of being the lukiest town in the state of Connecticut, if not in the whoke United States.

Yours very truly SCOTLAND CITIZEN. Scotland, Oct. 18. 1920. Sunday Morning Talk HOW TARES CAME TO GROW Good seed had been planted—whence came tares when wheat only was looked for. “Mén slept‘—that was the begin- ning, and then “the enemy came and sowed tares.” If you hawve never thought seriously about the meaning of this par- able, “The Wheat and the Tares” get your Bible and read it carefully as re- recorded in Matt 13:24-30, and then the explanation given by oud Lord to His dis- ciples a little farther on in the same chapter. Jesus said that the field was the world, the good seed those who love and serve God, and the tares those who will not have him for their King. The en- emy who handles the tares and some- times mixes them in among the wheat; where he thinks they will do harm, is the devil. Here, in this world, the good and the bad are found in the same house, the same school, even in the same church. Christ tells us it will be so in this life. but he “knoweth them that are His” wherever they may be, and however poor, despised, or persecuted. And this loving Saviour has in his tender keeping every child who, amid difficulties wad opposi- tion, is trying to serve and piease Him. He holds the trembling hand firmly in His own strong one, and by and by, when the separating time comes, he will gather every one of theia to His Beautiful “home,” to be wh Him forever. The tares may represent the evil, the wicked do in the world by their influence and exampie. You notice that it is an “enemy” that “soweth the tares,” not a friend. So- it is always an enemy, mot a friend, who sows the tares of satan in our hearts.

His deeision, after a trial which a week, was that the delivered to the President of the Uni- ted States to be by him transported back to Africa. The claimants of the Africans had one more chance. Appeal to the;superior court at Washington could not be denied them. John Quin- cy Adams was added to the counsel in behalf of the Nergoes, and with Roger S. Baldwin, father, of ex-chief Justice and former governor Simeon E. Baldwin the case went to the su- preme court for decision. The hearing was reached in February, 1841, and in March the captives were declared “free | to ‘be dismissed from the custody. of the court and go without delay”. It had been a great battle, Adams had brought his learning and ability with supreme earnestness, Roger S. Baldwin had argued with resistiess power; but while the captives were free, “their freedom,” as Baldwin said “was a barren gift. They were here separated from their homes by the dis tance of half the globe and in a state where, they might be pitied but were not wanted.” The united committee re- solved mnot to relinquish their labors until the Africans had been safely re- stored to their native land and, three years after their strange departure from Africa, some forty of these cap- tives were landed again in Africa. With them went some American friends, who started at Mendi a Christian mission. As everybody knows the free and the slave among blacks was a live politi- cal and social question in the forties. Out of this “Amistad” incident, and the founding of the Mission at Men- di, grew a movement which culminat- ed at Albany in 1846 and resulted in the American Missionary Association, a centre of the anti-slavery agitation until the Civil war, and the greatest champion of the Negro after President Lincoln issued his proclamation. Did you ever know how Hampton Institute got its start, and who it was that discovered General Armstrong, Institute and General now known as far as the world extends? It was this same movement, with its child, famous Tuskegee and perhaps even more fa- mous Booker Washington. Hampton was begun even before Appomattox’s date. There followed great institutions not forgetting the Fisk Jubilee sing- ers, and including Fisk University, At- lanta university, Talledega, Tougalee, Tillotson and Straight colleges. Into the work the American Missionary As- sociation has put nearly $30,000,000 ot race that killed a cook and a slave driver, steered a frail craft for Africa and landed on Montauk Point, went through a United States supreme court hearing, and landed again in a home- land, bringing a Christian mission with them. Right now we know much of unrest We have recently terminated with vic- tory a World War. And yet all will agree that slaves may not be captured in Africa, brought to the West Indies and sold to'Americans, and that no Adamses and Baldwins are needed to day to argue against human properiy rights betore Chief Justice Taft ard his associate justices. So setting up stakes to indicate marks we do see the world is growing better. There is yet much room for more growth. This American Missionary Association is going back to New London, to whose narbor the “Amistad” was brought to ceiebrate its diamond jubilee—seventy five years of service, not for the good of the Negro race alone, but for the good of all of us—the common good of the world. CIDENTS IN AMERICAM HISTORY Years of observation, covering many centuries, and embracing all zones and latitudes, give no record of any dis- play of auroral glories equal in sub- limity, magnificence and extent to the Scientific observations were made of this remarkable phenomena and these were published in all parts of Europs, attracting universal attention. This display was pretty generally observed in all parts of the United States, but it was_especially brilllant in the New Eng- land states. The first evidence of the existence of this remarkable dispiay consisted in a strong, rosy illumination of the entire arch of the heavens. According to Prof. Olmstead of the Yale University, about 6 o'clock in the evening while the sky was thick with falling enow, “all things suddenly appeared as if dyed in blood. The entire atmosphere, the surface of the earth, the trees, the tops of the houses, and, in short, the whole jace of nature, were tinged with the same scarlet hue. “The light was most intense in the northwest and northeast, and at short intervals it increased and diminished in brightness. Within ten minutes from the time the heavens began ts assume their fiery appearances the whoie clouded at- mosphere shone with that marvellously brilliant light which, reflected in rosy tints by the snow on the ground, produced a scene indescribable glorious.” In the city of New York, we are told, the display, as witnessed from an emi- nence which commanded an unobstructed view of the horizon in every direction, was, in the latter gart of the evening, | magnificent beyond description. In the jwestern part of New York state the ex- hibition was most superb as seen and de- scribed at vartous points of observation. The commencement of the phenomenon in Philadeiphia was similar to that ob- | served at New York. For more than four hours of its duration the aurora bor- ealis display €xceded in extent and bril- liancy anything of the kind ever before witnessed in this region. Observers at Annapolis, Md., describe the aurora there as coming on in waves, at a quarter before 6 o'clock, and return- ing at 7, and 8 and at 9 o'clock. Near i Alexandria, Va., the display exhibited a rich orang” red color extending over to the zenith. The appearance of the aurora in South Carolina, when first observed, covered a space of about fifteen degrees above the horizon, and was strongly marked by a pale white light, above which the crim- son hue, peculiar to this phenomenon, be- gan to be distinctly visible. In certain sections of Georgia the phe- nomenon commenced 2 fittle after dark.
