That is always a hard problem to handle, but it is apparently mot the only one with which those engaged in tha enforcement of the anti-narcotie laws have been obliged to contend. The welfare of humanity demands that the demoralizing habit of using dope should be stopped, that those who can should be allowed to free themselves from the relentless grip of the stuff and protection given to those who are in danger of becoming, ensnared.

In accord with the act of the general assembly Governor Lake has designated today as Flag day. Patriotic organizations and school children will in all probability make the most of the occasion to set forth the great principles and ideals for which the flag stands. It is a time when many others can do the same with profit. There is no chance that there will be too great an appreciation of the liberty and justice and the great privileges of citizenship which are assured to us by this national emblem. As the governor well says in Ms proclamation, “The flag is a symbol of service; it calls for ser- vice. With the flag as a symbol of thelr devotion, men have fought, suffered and dled for their homes, tuc.. wwt.uy &NQ their faith. Every fold is consecrated with the blood of patriots and with the tears of women, that we may live in peace, security and contentment.” The flag isn't to be assoclated solely with war, though there it has figured consplcuously. It stands for the princi- ples that form the foundation of this great country, something which no one can afford to overlook and certainly which no one can forget. a nation that leads all others In service privileges and opportunities for man- kind. It not only gives assurance to those who live under it but to the rest of the world it carries the great mes- sage of liberty and justice for all. Henry Ward Beecher hasg well sald: “Our flag carried American ideas, American history and American feel- Ings. Beginning with the colonles and coming down to our time, In its sacred heraldry, in Its glorious insignia, it has pathered and stored chiefly this supreme Mea—divine right of liberty in man. Cvery color means liberty; every thread neans liberty: avery form of star and veam or stripe of light means liberty; 30t lawlessness, not license; but organ- led institmivnal liberty—Iliberty through law, and law for liberty. THE PASSAIC FIRE, Whether you have been disposed !n! selieve such a thing In the past, it seems ‘o be pretty well demonstrated by the ire which has occurred in Passaic that sare would have prevented a large loss of property. The combination of Inflammable ma- lerfal and a discarded match can work great havoc, and certainly It requirss sut little Investigation in many cities o find the places where the material ‘s tlready waiting for the match to be thrown In its midst In order to stage another sich spectacle as that In the New Jersey clty. Rubbish is a menace n most any form. It ought not to be jermitted to remain In bulldings, in al- eyways or In backyards. 1f it doesn't exist at points where 1t might prove dangerous the firebrand fsn't going to be responsible for starting the combustion, and there will not be the danger of spontaneous kindling. In the Passaic Instance the bellef is that an old mattress happened to be where some persons carelessly flipped a lighted match. Only one result is to be expected and that is what happened. Not only was valable property destroyed and a large sum wasted, but more than 200 pevons have been made homelexs and poorer because of megligence in gic- Ing a little needed attention to preven- tion. Tt is easy to look at such a thing'in the right way after it Is all over, but it Is just as easy to see the dangers and 2o the obvious things necessary to ellm- inate them before anything happens. Perhans no one would have considersd it of sufMclent importance to have flash- ed the news throughout the country if the person who had discovered the firs, or some other, had disposed of the o1d mattress the day before, or the man who had Hghted the match had taken care to see that it was actually out, but those simple things would have prevent- ed a great 'oss and much distress, The numberless Instances where just such preventive measures could be car- ried out in every city ought to be suffi- clent reason for taking them rather than permitting the chance to be taken that nothing will happen to regret, There's a lesson In the Passaic fire just like hundreds of others that pre- ceded 1t FIGHTING DOPE TRAFFIC. That success will crown the efforts of the treasury department officials are engaged in the important task of endeavoring to place the much needed check upon the sale of narcotics in this country, cannot fall to be the wish of every Individual who understands the tremendous amount of harm that is be- ing done by the traffic in such drugs. Fighting the dope traffic is by no means a new undertaking, but through the additional federal legislation that has been obtalned the authorities are in = position to accomplish more than has ever been possible. Thus it is gratify- ing that they are making early and de- termined efforts to accomplish what is expected of them. Anti-narcotic laws have existed butithey have been evaded. legislation it is possible for the author- It stands for RUSSIAN TRADE. Much has been sald and much has been urged favorable to the recognition of soviet Russia. The purpose seems to be to bring about a reestablishment of the trade that formerly existed with that country, but there is nothing * prevent dealing with Russia so far as this government is concerned. There is no government obstacle to selling goods to Russia or of buying goeds from that country. ‘Trade can proceed but con- ditions are such that those who engage in it must take their chances. This government cannot undertake to guar- antee that those who sell will get their money. There are countries which have en- tered into trade agreements with soviet Russia but it is Interesting to note in this connection that Secretary Hoover declares that there ls nothing in such agreements which permits trade with in- dividuals in Russia. Such trading as is permitted must be done with the soviet government. Trade Is a government monopoly over there. It hasn't commod- itles to exchange fer commodities and it hasn't the money to buy with. What- ever is sent to Russia, as pointed out a long time ago by the British exchequor, might as well be put down as a gift. That country which normally is a large producer of foodstuffs today de- pending to a large degres upon othsr countries for things to eat. Much s coming to it in the way of charity. It .3 not producing enough to take care the frightful famine conditions with'n its borders. Under such conditions, and with soviet Russia failing to give any assur- ance that it will protect the rights of others, recognize the debts which have been accumulated in the name of Rus- sla and abancon the detrimental poli- cles which have been advanced to the disgust of the entire world there can be no hope of a recognition of such 2 gov- ernment. Russia needs help without any question, but its greatest help at the present time should come through a recognition of the colossal failure of the bolshevik regime ana a re-shaping of the government in a manner that will permit of other nations trusting and rec- ognizing it. Bolshevism is responsible for its condition and it continues to be its greatest handicap. Under it there can be no Russian trade, EATO'S CABINET. Special interest is attached to the naming of Admiral Kato as prime min- ister in Japan and no lttle attentlon will be directed to the cabmer wnien hs selects. Japan has not as yet taken action upon the treatles agreed upon at ‘Washington conference. It is known to be favorably disposad, however, and ona of the accomplishments expected by thé Kato ministry is the ratification of those treaties. Because Admiral Kato is well known in this country, was a member of the Japanese delegation at the Washington conference and Is thus in touch with American sentiment on various ‘ques- tions his selection as premier meets with approval from this direction. He s known to be a man seeking the ad- vancement of the best interests of his country, desirous of friendship with the United States and one in whom much confidence is bound to be placed. For that reason Kato's selection as premier will be given the heartiest approval in this country. Naturally it would be ex- pected that he would surround himseif with men of a similar type. There are conditions In Japan which he must re- spond to, but it is natural that he would display his best judgment in the selection of the cabinet members. He has picked what he believes to be strong men, and some of them are known by thelr past service. As a cabinet, they must show their hand and in so doing much is looked for from the leadership.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Where They Agree. Mr. Editor: It is clear, as Mr. Capell says, that we are writing from different standpoints. I also “wrote Spirit,” but the printer made me s2y “spirits,” which is evident by the sentences that fol- low in my other letter. I am not aware that Spirit even when it means God, has been explained. We know something about Him, but when we have made Mim impersonalized Spirit we leave much to be explained. ‘With regard to life. It seems plain from my letter that I was speaking of life in yeneral. Jesus was speaking about eternal life which is quite different. If life as found in nature is “to know God and Sesus Christ, whom he has sent,” Ho wabout those who do not know God in deep fellowship such as Jesus had in mind when He used the words? What about life in the lower animals and plants? I, too, accept Jesus' definition of eternal life but that is no explana- tion of life as the word is used in biol- ogy. We agree in one thing, at least, Broth- er Capell, and that is that Jesus did ex- pect His followers “to galn something of far greater value than human theorfes beliefs.” He expected them to gain eternal life which is God's supreme gift to mankind. R. L. ROBERTS. Norwich, June 13, 1922. East Siders Object to Carnivals. Mr. Editor: Another carnival has vis- ited the Battlegrounds and after a week's engagement has gone. To those not too near this means merely that an idle hour could be passed away here and any loose change left behind. Little ones and older ones, as well, could enjoy the excitement of hobby horses, Ferris wheel, or whip, and those who revel in the haz- ardous look with equaminity at the hair-ralsing performance in the motor- drome. All very good, you say, and 1 agree with you. But there is another side to the story that most of you have had no reason to think of and to which I want to call your attention. This is the side that Is but too familiar to those unfortunates who dwell in the immedi- at vicinity of the Battlegrounds. To be- gin with, there is all the noise attend- ant upon getting this city of tents from the cars to the field and set up. The shows begin toward night and last unti] anywhere from 10.30 til] midnight. One's windows at this season must be open and all the noise comes in as well as the alr. You who do not live here can scarcely realize the awful din of hobby horses, whip. Ferris wheel, shouting showmen and worst of all, the excruciat- Ingly nerveracking noise of the motor- drom. Most of us who are around the half century mark find sleeping very dif- ficult, if mot impossible under such try- ing conditions. Tuesday morning we feel rather tired and not quite fit for the work of the day. Wednesday morning we feel somewhat more so; Thursday morn- ing finds us decidedly jaded; Friday we can hardly move; Saturday we faintly sing, “Oh, Land of Rest, For Thee I Sigh!” But we must summon our re- serves of vitality and nerve force if any are left, for Saturday night is an all night session, for as soon as the show ends the packing begins and that and the moving of this tent city back to the raflroad station occupies the night. You crawl out of bed Sunday morning and if your eyes are not too tired, you be- hoid the last stragglers leaving the grounds. I wish you who are not fa- miliar with this side of the story could see these grounds. Public attention was called (and rightly so), to the litter left on Memorial Day at Chelsea Parade, but who cares what is left on the Battlegrounds of the East Side? Who cares if a breeze from the river fills our dooryards with papers and rubbish? Is this the way the residents of this sec- tion are encouraged to beautify thelr homes or bufld new ones? How long, I ask you, would such conditions be toler- ated on Broadway? As I look from my llving room windows this afternoon, I can see the river—so cool and restful looking—but between it and me llie the Battlegrounds—Ilittered from end to end with rubbish and loose papers—to be blown anywhere it happens by the wind. You say the Battlegrounds are private propertr. Very well. Twelve pigs in a sty might be private property, but how long would they be tolerated in the resi- dence section of a city? There have already been two carnivals here this season—two weeks of nerve torture to many of us—and how many more are coming I know not. Shall we law abld- ing citizens of this ssction be oblized to suffer in silence or leave our homes In order to get sleep? Is there no redress? In the name of humanity won’t some- ‘body “come over and help us?”’ /AST SIDER. E. Norwich, June 13, 1922. Great Men’s Love Letters WILLIAM PENN TO HANNAH GAL-i LOWHILL. A deep interest has always attached it- &elf to anything connected with William Penn., the English Quaker, who founded Pennsylvania and established one of the most substantial colenies in America during the latter quarter of the ecven- teenth century. We are wont to think of the founder of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a man deeply immersed land surveys and titles—indeed in all that affected the welfare of the little colony that came over with him in the “Welcome.” | To picture Penn as a ardent lover re- ! quires some imagination, especially at a period when the early romance of his life was buried in the grave of his be- loved Gulielma, who died February 23, 1694, and when he figured in history asj a widower, past middle age, with three children. Yet among Penn's letters to his be- trothed are some that glow with all the warmth and ardor of youthful affection, while, as befits a man of his years, and position, they contain wise reflections on life and passages marked by the pru- dence, the forethought, and the prac- tical grasp that came with riper age; and always they are deeply and sin- cerely religious. Naturally a stald Quaker of his age would not write a sentimental sonnet to Hannah's eyebrows. He tells her, In grave and simple language, that it is for the qualities of her heart and mind that he loves her and desires to win her. A fine example of the matter-of-fact love letter that Penn Wrote to Hannah Cal- lowhill, s the following, which wae ad- dressed to her from Penn's home, Worminghurst, in 1695: “And now let me tell thee, my dear- love thee, vet that of compassionating the unhappy is none the least. And whatsoever pittys has love, for it springs out of the same soft ground, and can never fail, as often as there is occasion o try fit. “That, my dearest H., has been a mourner, a sympathizer, an inhabitant of dust, and so weaned from the com- mo ntastes of pleasure, that gratify other Pallates, does so much exalt her character with me, that if this were all she brought, she must be a treasure to that happy man that has a title to her. And since, by an unusual good-; ness, she has made it my lot, it shall| be as much Ty pleasure as she has made it my duty to make her constant- ly sensible how much I am so of my obligation to her.” At another time William Penn is con- cerned about the health of his betrothed | and concludes his missive with an ear- nest recommendation to her to take some pills that he sends her, at certain hours of the day, and a specific medici-| nal water, to be imbibed “three days before the full and changes of the moon.” It does not seem an unusual thing among lovers of this period to prescribe for their sweethearts, as we find Doro- thy Osborne writing about some infu- sion of steel in which she drinks Sir William Temple's health every morning. She vows in a letter that it makes her horribly ill, says that it is a ‘“drench that would poison 2 horse,” and declares to discontinue its use unless her lover Insists upon her doing so, Hannah Callowhill was a Quaker lady of Bristol, Bngland, and an Intimate friend of the Penn family long before the death of Gulielma. Her father was a merchant and of considerable yrop- erty. Willlam and Hannah were mar- ried In January, 1696, and she accom- panied her husband to Pennsylvania in 1699, and th-v lived in good style, both In Philadel: # and in Pennsbury Ma- nor, a beau.ful estate situated in Bucks county on the Delaware river. Two months after the arrival of the Penns in this country, and he was John, the only one of Penn's children born in this country, and was therefore always known as “the American.” William| Penn died at Ruscombe, Berkshire, Eng- land, on July 30, 1718, and Hannah Callowhill Penn survived him fifteen years.
