Here indeed is a funny state Of af- fairs. Henry F'ord, who at not far distant time sent over to Europe ship load of pacifists to get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas" has, without dealing a blow, carried Nebraska, the native lair of William Jennings Bryan, as a candidate for President of the United States. Henry won out as a Republican. On the same occasion the willy lecturer of the Chautauqua circuit and sometime sec retary of state in the Wilson admins tration, also a pacifist of no mean ability. is beaten in Nebraksa as candidate for delegate-at-large to the national convention at St. Louis.

WATCH YOUR STEP"

Other law making bodies of the various states in the union should fol low the action of the New York legis- lature pledging the President of the United States the unqualified support of the Empire State in any action necessary to uphold the dignity and honor of the nation. Other states men should emulate the example of the great American patriot Richard Olney, who was secretary of state in Cleveland's administration and con- sidered one of the greatest students of international law in the country. in his support of President Wilson's S action on the submarine issue rhe ven erable statesman says:
 'The Presidents latest communica tion to Berlin on submarine warfare, as Germany has conducted it, is the fitting and necessary continuation of Germany's deliberate disregard of a long series of remonstrancess and ap- peals-of remonstrances against flag rant violation of the principles of in ternationa1 law and of appeals for req sonably humane treatment of neutrals and non- -combatants.
 "The President could not have done less and saved the self respect of the nation; he could not have done more to promote peace with honor.'
 "War with Germany now or soon would have been the inevitable se- ouence of an apparent acquiescence in the frighfulness of her present under sea warfare"
 Think over the action of the men in the New York legislature. ponder on the thoughts presented by Richard Olney. know that such men as former Attorney General Wickersham de- nounce the malevolent actions of Mi nority Leader James R. Mann, and 1t is | easily seen that this is not a nation ! divided among itself to any great ex- , tent. The wild outpourinss of such l men as Mann will not be forgotten in many moons and when the time comes the great American people will ad-
 minister to him his just deserts. by | depriving him of the honors that have l been heaped upon him. Other ynen i have gone before. It is a short stan 1 of disgrace.

HIRE A HALL.

There must be tinge of satisfac- ton in the breasts of all those who hold to the sentiment ITO hell with the Stars and Stripes after hearing the noble defense of such persons put up by Prof. Beard of Columbia uni- versity. The professor waxes eloquent when he steps to the fore and says: Suppose some one does say ITO hell with the fag.' What of it? This country was founded on disrespect and denial of authority, and it's no time to stop free discussion now"
 Surely that is the last word in logic. This is a free country and 1t is coun- try that was founded on disrespect and denial of authority, that is, au- thority of a sort. Disrespect, however, in some cases, is no crime. Rather would respect of something disrespect- ful become a fault. The people of the Colonies could find no respect for such authority as that set, up by Great Brit ain. and so they severed relations, automatically and otherwise. Hav- ing suffered long and unwillingly from gag rule", once rid of the yoke, they instituted and introduced on earth for the first time free speech, as the pro lessor knows the meaning of the term In that right of free speech is even implied the perfect freedom to stand out on any corner or in a public gathering and abuse the Stars ands Stripes, the President, the Congress- the individual members of society, or anything that anybody wishes to abuse Any citizen of the United States can consign the flag and the country to hell anytime he or she feels like doing. It is free country, they can do what they like in the way of free speech And no one is going to get excited over the matter
 But,-and here is the point the pro- approval,-no one yet has the right, free speech or not, to go down to the White House or the Capitol, stand up ir the east room or on the floor of the Senate, and say ITO hell with the United States of America and the Stars and Stripes, too" No one can do that what though he has all the free speech there was ever in the world carried in his own little vocabu- lary. And why not? Because those buildings, the White House and the Capitol building, are the property of the people of the United States of America, the people who love this country and the flag that floats over it. And what is true of these two build ines is likewise true of every public school house in the land. The peo- pie own these buildings and no one man can go in them and use them for purposes of disrespect, no more than they could go into a mans own home and abuse him without paying the penalty When the discontented por- tions of the populace wishes to voice disapproval of the country which entities them to privileges known in no other land, there are private build ings which can be secured for q nom inal rent.

probable that the police court judge will be greeted by some of these eff Izens before long.
 
 Democrats in this city are fast awakening to the importance of the state convention that is to be held in New Haven on May 9 and 10 to name four delegates at large to attend the national convention in St. Louis. A meeting will be called here shortly to name the ten local delegates to the New Haven gathering. In addition to shc delegates at large, each district has two delegates so there is strong possibility that a New Britain demo- crat may be recognized. A morning paper has incorrectly stated that Hon. G. M. Landers will be indorsed by the New Britain convention as the dele gate to St. Louis. MT. Landers has de- clared that he is not in any way candidate for this place and in fact does not want 1t as it would not De particularly convenient for him to go were he chose. At present there is no particular choice, although some prominent democrats have mentioned the names of P. F. McDonough, w. r. Mangan and w. F. Delaney as iog- lCal lnd1Nldud c1OlceS ana nldHy Se6In desirious that the former be named. Democrats feel that New Britain should be recognized at the convention either by delegate at large or a dis trict delegate, but there will certain ly be spirited contests as the Hart ford contingency seems determined to walk rough -shod over New Britain and name Thomas HeweS of Farming ton and M. J. Connor of Enfield as dis trict delegates.
 Among some people there is a grow ing determination to bring to the at tention of the health board, or some other city department, the actions of the famous "Berlin Beauty, by which name this most eccentric character is best known. For years an unCleanly creature, she is growing more loath- some in her habits and several people have protested that she has gone so far as to rifle the garbage cans in their back wards. The insanitary and nause- ating act is causing widespread dis gust and it is understood that the Meriden authorities have refused to let her stay in that place because of her filthy mode of living. Berlin Beauty is by no means the poverty stricken old woman that she appears,

In the laudable effort to utilize the physical plant of the public cducn- tional system of New York to it's full est capacity, the auditorium of the Washington Irving High school has been confided on Sunday nights to the care of an or ganization known as the Labor Forum, whose activities in the way of admission fees, mural decorations and oratorical excesses have at- tracted considerable attention. At the last meeting of this aggregation of philosophers the president of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor aroused a number of his audi tors to a high pitch of enthusiasm by crying at the top of his lungs: "To hell with the Stars and Stripes!" Any person who does not like the American flag is at liberty to avoid dwelling under it's protection. He may go to Mexico, or to Canada, on this continent, if he wishes to; he may go to China; he may go to any one of several countries in Europe and those of us who remain will wish him we'll.
