The fact of the matter is that thero is little chance of ereating sympathy for the deer by Geying to have It coar sidered in the same clags as the fox, for there is no ome who has experienced the aotivities -of the fox who has anything go0d to say of it until it has been ghot, the bounty obtained and the pelt sold.

BLOOKING LEGISLATION. How determined the opposition is CIRCULATION | WEEK ENDING DEC. Sth, 1922 11,953 fro meertain quarters in the senate ta the merchant marine bill is indicated by the effort that is being made to pro- vent discussion of §t at this time that the farm credit measure may have the right of way. There isn't any opposition that can be discorned to the enaotment of legisla- tion thet will help the farmers. It is FURTHEE NAVAL LIMITATIO Ruther a surprising situation has de- request in- in the naval appropriation bill that the presi- dent begin negotiations with four pow- extending the 5 clude vessels under 10,000 toms, subma- weloped as the result of cluded Dy which it s desired of limitation to ers for the purpose treaty of armament Tinea and aireraft ‘Whatever .urpose those who made may have had, the wind was completely taken out of their sails when it was stated on the floor of the houso that what they were seeking had been un- the president, of derway for months by and & was a fitting comment Californian congrecsman when he for an endoreement of the action of tl president rather than a plea for I 10 do something which had long since| been underway.

They may cost less individually| but huge sums can be spent in keeping) wp' with or trying to ontdo the other pation. The struggle for leadership an epdless and costly proposition. Mot all has been acconplished that desired from the Washi wnce. All the ocountries h: iatifled the agreement bu: there is con- Bdence on the jart of the administra- tlon that they will, and it «ill be to che country as it was those In the lower house of congress. “for other countries to the end that similar re- strictions may be placed upon the ves- sels under 10,000 ons, The disclosures Bewever, indicates too apparently that| disposition i congress to run counter! to learn that the president months” has been negotiating with to administration harmon: STATE AND FEDERAL VIOLATIONS.| Those - who have maintained that mgs unconstitutional to be taken inf the federal court for the violation the Voistead act after prosecution has en place for the same offense under state law find that their opin‘on of the United States supreme court. It was me of thoso phases of the prohibition! Mdes not coimeide with that wforcement work 'that cried out for Inal decision. A fight developed over and Mke other features of prohibition) k has gone before the court of last r wort, where it is decided that a man not placed In jeopardy twice when such metion is taken if ho violates both sta and federal laws. In such & case, according to the su- prame court, there is a violation of two the federal laws. Chief Justice Taft points out that while # might seem that inasmuch as there state laws, the state and Bad been a prosecution in the clared that the situation called rather, generally recognized that they need it and should have it, but it so happens at the present time that there is not ready for consideration a measure that has the endorsement of the committes. They are at work upon such bills as have been referred to them and will in time, probably as soon as they can con- sistently, make known their recommen- Gations, Those who are insisting upon press ing the farm legisiation from every m- dication are not only doing so for the Purpose of obstructing the merchant marine bill, or at least a proper counsid- eration of it, but they are taking a course that seems headed for the en- actment of legislation that has had im- mature consideration, even in commit- tee. If the senate is oppesed to the mer- {chant marine bill, or any legislation looking to the accomplishment of that bill, there is no good reason why it ishould not be demonstrated in a straightforward menner. To fail to meet the issue squarely is as discred- itable as was the prevention of anv considepation of the anti-lynching bill, and yet therp exists am evil that cught 0 be abated, and no ome knows better than the residents of the Iynching states | that these commonwealths will never follow any different course than thay lare pursuing though their toleration of mab ‘rule has long been a disgrace to the nation. . DEALING WITH THE TURKS. Whep the Turks went to the Lau- is,sanne conference they did so following ia vigtory over the Greeks which had is!taken them from a defensive position | end placed on the offensive. They wers no longer seeking favors but demand. ing coneessions, They were not pre- pared to yield but to have their wishes gratifled. ,This has been reflected from time to time in the attitude they have taken toward certain propositions looking to- ward peace m the near east. It flared up in regard to the straits and it again came to the frent In regard to the treggmént of minorities. And while the { relinquishing of control of the Darda- neHes was shown to be necessary tho isame thing seems likely to develop con- {cerning the minarities. it he im ot as to ute before the world to a great de- gheet because of, its disrespect for mi- i norities, and pdrticularly thosé within it§ borders who have received such merciless treatment. That fact doesn't seem to have disturbed It sufficlently .n the past to make it reform, but from what certain of the speakers at the con- ferénce have had to say it i& possib! 3| that it will at this time pay some at- it tention to fts conduct as viewed by others. Quite the same as in the past ilia Turk seems to believe that ne should be done that would interrupt periodical onslanght against the Ar- menians. He doesn’t appear to be will- ing to establish conditions that wouid tend to prevent it. What the final answer may be can Poss®ly Dbe judged by the outcome of the ‘constderation of the question of the straits, There the Turk abandomed the 1t to] ot o- is te Turkey has come into its presept dia-{ | partisans, they must by this time realize ,{and it sincere must separate themselves WORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1922 { “Well, how're you getting on?” asked the owner of the bu\ll! as he descended to the basement, wheré the wealthy plasterer was engaged im doing some extensive repair work.

The Awakening. _ Mr. Editor: As a teacher of morality and religion 1 have always felt it to be & necessary duty to be informed on all questions which pertain to the moral well being of my country, and especially on| |the great qutstanding question of the pro- | hibition of the manufacture and. sale of algohglie drink. I confess to a feeling of intense relief since reading President Harding's mes- sage, especially that part of it which re- fers to the enforcement. of prohibition: “He views with alarm.” He has evidently seen a great light and become aroused by the great menace ‘to all law that the winking of authority-in regard to the enforcement of the prohibi- tion law has bred. Too, the message seems to have beem written with the knowledge of the de- cision of the supreme court-on the mat- ter of the enforcement of-the eighteenth amendment, so recently given 1o tho country, The whole trouble is right here. Our political leaders have more. to do with the making and enforcing of our laws than any otherome group of men, and they have played fast and loose with-the whole question. From the president down through congress, state, city and borough offiees, men Who are supposed tg he high- | 1y intelligent, and to have the good of the | country at heart, have held an attitude] towards the whole prohibition enforce- ment question which would have ishop- ored any group of intelligent boys any- ! where in our country. They have winked : at law violations, and made light of the | eighteenth amendment. Our Connecticut delegation is.the wet- test in congress and when an attemt. & belated attempt. was made to- rebuks Senator MaLean for his negleet of duty, the men of his party and good Christian | peoplo cried out against it. Now if they think at all as Christians, and net as| how cheap they hold their Christisnity in comparison to their partisan politicsi— from theie partisanship -where it inter- feres with their Christian intelligence and integrity. Of the men in authority, comparatively few of them have uttered a word of pro- test or sounded a single note of warning sagainst this canker that is eating out the moral fiber of our veopleand thelr respect for oyr constitution and our gov: ernment.
