LEADERS GETTING BUSY.

Tn view of the efforts which have preceded and the wisdom of the move ment. much interest is centered upon the activity of the republican senators and congressmen in Washington con corning the organization for the con gressional campaign, and the meeting of the republican national committee for the purpose of considering the mat ter of party reorganization. In all branches of the party there is a wide spread movement in behalf of the get together idea and this extends even to those who withdrew at the inception of the third party. Not only do many believe such is the wisest course, but they are actually following their belief and uniting their efforts in the reor- ganization movement. It is but the recognition of the fact that the best opportunity for accomplishments lies within the party which has stood the test of time and will continue to do so.
 Recognition of this fact is taken by those who are advocating the reunion that instead of a divided majority it may the sooner become the united ma jority for effective action and admin istratfon of the country's affairs. Much reliance is placed upon the help which the democratic party and it's radical tariff plans will give, but there exists reason for alterations in the rules which govern the party convention, which have long been sought and which should be made. The quicker full realization of this is followed by action. the sooner there will be over come one of the important objection able features.

PROPER SUPPRESSION.

There is cause for applause in the action of President Wilson when re- questing Representative Sisson to refrain from his jingo utterances con corning the present situation between this country and Japan. It was ill., advised privilege which the southern representative used when he indulged in the war talk before congress in relation to the Californian alien land bill. His demeanor did not savor' of good judgment at a time when sen sibIe talk and facts should be indulged in. rather than hotheaded outbursts and was not calculated to help any ad iustment of strained relations or i'll feelings. but served to aggravate what is already a tender spot in the minds of the Japanese people.
 However it may be considered that Japan is taking a wrong attitude in the matter and may be over sensitive in her wounded pride, there is nothing diplomatic in course which can ac. complish no good but simply serves to irritate There are times when rep resentatives in congress ought to be heard but experience has shown that there are also times when it is ad- visable to hold their tongue, both for their own good and for the good of the nation and this jingoistic speech could well be placed in that class. It was just the opposite from what was de- rnanded and the president with proper foresight did well to take steps which would tend to prevent a repetition while the question is undergoing ad- iustment

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Monument To Labor.

At the date when these words are written the greatest living sculptor is M. Rodin. There will be few to dis
 Every great creative genius has vast work that he would do, if his means were equal to his dreams.
 M. Rodin perceives that the signif1- cant fact of this era the world is labor.
 The type of this day is not the war lord, the poet, nor the philosopher; it is the man who does things. The huge zeitgeist of the present is a spirit that takes the shape of the builder, civili- ger, carrier, constructor. It is the world period of machines and office buildings, of them who can bit and bride the monsters of steam and cleo tricity
 M. Rodin, therefore, as an artist seeking to express the spirit of his world, would like to erect a great monument to labor.
 It would rise high toward heaven. Inside would be a circular stair, from bottom to top. Beginning at the bot tom, this stair would be adorned by statuary symbolizing the rise of the laborer from slavery and contempt to honor and mastery
 The dream has subtly molded all that the great artist has done.

LESS EWING NOISE.

When it comes to eradicating noise any city which attempts it has a task on hand which will involve an endless amount Of time and attention. Be- cause t fs a pretty good indication as to its activity and hustle some cities are judged by the amount of noise which is made in the every day attention to the demands of business. Development has relieved that in some directions where the rubber tire has come into extensive use, but it has also increased fl where the horns on the autos are kept necessarily footing or grating for the frightening as well as the warning of the people. Noise is an accompaniment of active engage ment in business though there are many opportunities for the elimination Of not a little of it and the reduction of other forms as it exists today.
 Good results are recorded in many cities where the effort has been un- dertaken to lessen noise particularly when it is directed towards the les sening of unnecessary noise. There is a widespread agitation against the use of an automobile horn simply for the sake of making a noise. It not only makes a disturbance which is un- called for but it fails to operate as a signal of danger when it is desired for that purpose, the real object of it's inclusion in the equipment of a ma chine Noise is being attacked in me Chanical operations but with the ex- Ception of that which is needless and uncalled for the indications are that fl will be a long time before the American city will be operated with the quiet even of the European.

WoRkMEN,s coMPENsATIoN-

With the passage of the workmen's compensation law by the general as sembly. and with the prospects good for Governor Baldwin signing the bill, Connecticut has stepped into line with a third at least of the states of the country in adopting this important piece of legislation. The value of it 1s recognized both by the working man and by the employer of labor. The act establishes a proper under standing between the workman and hls employer and recognizes the fact that whereas there is a risk surround ing the work which employees are called upon 10 do. they are entitled to recover for damages which result from pursuit of the same IL means the passing of the practice now in vogue of obtain ing damages through the courts and insures care and compensation for in juries or death in accordance with a mutual agreement with better pros pects that the injured will avoid the heavy expenses which are now at rached to litigation.
 Compensation acts where they have been put into operation differ in many respects and it is likely that there are portions of the bill which Connecticut has favored which will be found to be in need of revision The important consideration however is that the need Of such legislation has been recognized and with the bin in operation, though perhaps not perfect, it will be pos sible to bring in to an improved state as its operation and faults may die tate Norwich has a particular inter est in the bill because of the active part which a fellow townsman had in determining its need and require menrs.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S POSITION.

President Wilson's position upon the sundry civil bin leaves him in quan- dsry. He is puzzled to know how he can consistently sign the bill in view of the circumstances which surround it- IT he signs it it will be against his belief. but if he vetoes it he will be following the action of President Taft. who had the strength necessary to stand for his belief, even against congress.
 The reported inclination of the pres ident to sign the bill and then explain why certain provisions should not be 1n the bill can hardly impress. As the New York Times says: "The peo- pfe would have more confidence in a party which, though its congressman went wrong. had a president who would go right than 1t could have in a partv in which the congressman went wrong and the president dared not stop them It is also reported that the president is inclined To overlook the shameful favoritism of the pro vision because it does not change the antitrust law and remains in force for only one year. That reasoning comes dsngereusly near pettifogging. The. provision of the bin is vicious because it Is an attempt te ceeree the president and because 1t is per nicious in itself On either of these points it ought to be killed"
 Unless the Dill is vetoed q weakness and lack of courage will mark the opensnr of the administration on this important point. and it wili be a step which will be making progress back zzan&a

Still, a great deal may be said for the beauty of shrubbery about a home. It may lack the edge of brilIiancy towering plants. It does not bear close inspection like the dancing glory of poppies or Iarkspur. But arranged about a house. shrubbery breaks the hard right angle between boards and ground. It makes a kind of nest of verudre about home, sheltering and screening it. and offering it's romantic sense of seclusion. It turns a house into a home.-Hartford Post.
