that the sexton, finding the hall full, brought in some standing room from in front of the post office. Thus we see that other towns have their problems, too. The indignant citizen who writes to us this month complaining of the use of the ground about the Soldiers' Monument is put to, IS but voicing complaint that has been made many times before, ill many places. and. alas, probably will be made many times hereafter. It is no solution at all to order the constabulary to take action. Ii he had to make the 'loafers' move on, he would probably bnrst presently into the famous song from 'The Pirates of Penzance,' and the 'loafers' would pick out some other monument. There is nice bit Ot green around the Jonathan Edwards shaft.''
 Farther along the editor, going deeper into the ethical and sociological phases of the problem of juvenile control says
 "For the young male, of what ever rank or station, home is the last resort. The young male is gregarious. The young male has
 the instincts of the gang. The young male likes to watch the world go by, and pass remarks upon it. The young male wants to strut before his kind, and otherwise work off his spirits under the social eye. Any attempt at altering existing conditions which does not first of all take this fundamental fact into considerat tion is merely waste of effort Those who have made a real attempt to solve such problems elsewhere are united in the state ment that you must organize the gang instinct to accomplish any usefuk results. You cannot re form with prohibitions. You can- not order crowd to move on, crowd which has been drawn to- gether by deep instinctive impulses. and not give them some place to move on to. < We don't want to pursue the hapless youth with a policeman. but a bowling alley" This same subject has been considered at divers times in The News. The solution of the problem does not lie with the policeman. It is question of parental control and social provision. AS MT. Eaton says, "Eou must organize the gang instinct" and provide the boys with a place and a means of that will prove more attrac. tive than the street corner and the sporting resort.

SUCH INGRATiTUDE.

It's hard-shatters ones faith in human nature-when that which one has fostered and cherished turns and rends one. Poor John Rodemeyer, champion extraordinary of the Bald Headed Club of America The club was his pride, his joy, the target for the quips and jests innumerable. He "boosted'' it in season and out; he roamed the countryside roping ill the polished domes; he talked of it by day and dreamed of it by night; always he "h'isted' it on to glory. And now. ah. these be unregenerate days-the Bald Headed Club has up and "bounced'' it's chief centurion. Bounced because the erstwhile shining dome has grown a brand new thatch. Only Shakespeare could tell aright the horrid tale.-New Milford Times.
 Alas alas! Was it as bad as that ? Pardon these tears.

That Home Grown Tomato of Sfs. You my sing as you will of the apple
 of gold That was thrown at fair Helena's feet; Hesperidan fruit was renowned, we are

 Editor Rodemeyer of Canaan who
 has been placed in the Benedict
 Arnold class because lie threatened
 to quit the Bald-headed Mems
 Club, remarks upon the lights in
 New Canaan after the following
 fashion: "New Canaan wants
 gas," says the Advertiser. Singu-
 lar that in spite of the joy of liv-
 ing in "the next station to
 Heaven," the livers there should
 complain of defective lights.
 The New Canaan editor follows thi up with disquisition on the rare per sonal qualities of various estimable in dividuals who hail from New Canaan bearing the Illuminating cognomen O Light" including Judge John H Light, we'll known to Canaanites, ant concludes with vague reference to 6 system" which, says the sassy editor twill be as great an improvement o1 tine. old as New Canaan is an improve ment on-we dare not finish ''

Letters From the People
Rally, Drysl

To the Editor of The News:
 For three years or more we have had a wet town. Now it is no more than fair that we should take turns. Come, Drys, get busy this fall and see that you get your turn. When town goes wet. perhaps it is just as well to put up and shut up, but when the campaign between wet and drys is about for another year, we see no just reason why the shut up policy should still hold. Here goes the first call for temperance and we trust it will be al. lowed a hearing in our free-for. all opinions paper. XX.

"A political clanbake never elected anybody" says Joe Hollister, in the Pittsfeld Eagle. That may be true, but the political clambake has generated gas for the imitation of many a boom that foated home. There's no gain saying the inspiration that has its source ill the political clambake. But there are clambakes and clambakes. To the orthodox political clambake the assertive lobster is as vitally essential as the reticent clam. And we'are not sure that the lobster will affiliate with the Berkshire breed of clans. Possibly Joe can throw light on the succulent subject.
