AERCPLANE DEFENSE.

Long before the war in Europe broke out it was fully recognized that this country was occupying a back seat inasfar as attention to the de- velopment of flying machines was concerned, and this in spite of the fact that it was in this country that it was first demonstrated that she heavier than air machine was 2 pos- sibility. But since the war opened new emphasis has been laid upon the meaning Of this failure to see the inn portance of aviation service in con- nection with the defense of the nation. Europe has reaped untold benefits from the attention which it long ago gave to developing the aeroplanes and they are today one of the very impor- tant factors in connection with the operations of the army and navy of all the nations. The experience of this country with the flying machines which were available for the service in Mexico simply proved what was already known concerning this coun- try's 1axity in that respect.
 And yet in spite of that it was only after a strenuous effort in behalf of preparedness that congress was made to see the advisability of doing some thing for our own protection. The announcement that, as the result of money which was appropriated for aviation purposes, there have been or dered, or will be ordered shortly, 400 machines of various types, half of which will be for the use of the sig nal corps and the remainder to be hydroaeroplanes and school machines for use in training aviators, indicates that a long needed step has at last
 
 this branch of the national defense will have no further excuse for not developing an air service worthy of the nation.

body is representative only of the workingmen who are union men and is no place for political discussions" and the move to endorse Wilson was quashed. There was resentment at being used as pawns and the resolu ton which was in accord with the de- sire of Gompers was tabled tndef- nitely. -
 There have been efforts in the past to deliver the labor vote and it has invariably failed. Undoubtedly labor men feel the same as does the presi- dent of the Philadelphia central that they have a right to their own minds.
 Concerning this move the Philadel- phia Ledger well says: Nothing is more contrary to the spirit of demo- cratic institutions than to set class against class. and legislation in the interests of any class is certain to do more harm than good. Nor is it at all clear what the administration is credited with doing for labor is in any sense for it's advantage. The Federation is not happy in it's cita- tion of the so-called eight hour law and the seamen's act as examples. But even if 1t could be shown that the president was labor's best friend, the effort to deliver the labor vote as such to him would deserve cOndemnS ton "-

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Crete, The Cradle of cuTture-Crete, the halfway house between three continents" whose citizens are re- ported to have revo1ted against the pacific course of King Constantine, has given far more to the Greek na- tion than her native son Venizelos, the former premier who for nearly two years has been recurrently hailed as 'the man of the hour'' while his country has been poised on the brink of the European conflict. afraid to yield to his plea to plunge forward, yet fearful lest, remaining inert, she be engulfed and left without a res cuer when the victorious powers meet to parcel out the rewards of war.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

One thing which is being 1auded as an accomplishment of the present ad- ministration is the provision for a tariff commission, but memory does not have to run back so many years to recall that in the last administration there was a tariff commission named for the very same purpose as the new one. It was this commission which the democrats put out of existence by refusing to provide the regular ap- propriation for it's maintenance. They even failed to pay any attention to the work which had been done by that board but proceeded to tear down the protective tariff and replace 1t with 9 tariff for revenue only which has proved such a failure that they were long ago forced to retrace their steps and replace what they had planned to discard.
 The advocacy of a tariff commission comes as a direct reversal of their own actions. and yet they are claim ing credit for it because they have proved the failure of their own pol icy. But how half-hearted they are supporting the idea now is shown by the fact that it has been denied a permanent appropriation and by re- ducing the salaries for the members to a point where the experts who are needed are not likely to be obtained.
 A tariff commission to do what is expected of it should be permanent It should be made up of competent men and it's services should receive the full consideration of those who are making the laws. There is nothing in the acts of the democrats which in- dicate that they have any such pur- pose in view. They have played poli- tics with that subject in a manner which fails to show sincerity.

HINpENRURe,s INFLUENCE.

For a long time there has been a persistent agitation in Germany for the resumption of the U-boat warfare which called forth so much criticism last year and there are those who would even start the submarines on a campaign which would show past performances as strillingly mild in comparison herewith. In fact they would set forth under a policy of ruthlessness which would mean that nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of German success, the idea being to cast aside the rules of war, international law, the rights of hu- manity and torpedo whenever and wherever the opportunity offered for the purpose of striking terror to the rest of the world.
 There is of course those in charge of affairs at Berlin who are vigor- ousIy opposed to any such plan. They realize that Germany must stop and consider what it must confront fol- lowing the war. There have even been threats of forcing von Bethmann- Follweg to give up his portfolio be- cause he will not sanction such a pol icy, bnt the position which he has taken in this respect is greatly strengthened by the stand which Gen. eral von Hindenburg has taken, which is disclosed in the communication sent by him to the extremists asking that their agitation cease.
 The chief of staff stands well with the, people of Germany. They have great faith in him and for that rea- son his influence against such a pol icy should carry great weight for it must be realized that his decision is the only sensible and sane one at any time.

CONGRESSMAN FREEMAN.

In connection with the presidential election it will not do to overlook he fact that it is important that Charles E. Hughes. if chosen as chief executive of the nation, should be given the support which is necessary Tor the carrying out of the republi- can platform pledges and policies by having a congress which is in syn- pathy with him.
 The next few years are going to be important ones in the history of this country. There is need of having men at Washington who will correct ly represent the position of their con- stituents, men who will look after the interests of their districts. men who will take into consideration the industrial and agricultural require ments and those who will stand for the placing of the country on the proper basis for. defense and peace with honor.
 The second Connecticut congress sional district has had the service of a man during the past two years who has rendered such service and who can be relied upon to continue it. He stands for the upbuilding of Connec- ticut industrial activities and giv- ing to them the protection which is needed to maintain the best condi- tions among the working people and to prevent their being thrown into competition with the lower wage earn CTS of foreign countries. He doesn't want to depend upon the continual tion of the European war for the prosperity of this country. but through the passage of legislation which would prove an equal effective tariff wall Congressman Richard P. Freeman has commendable record at Washing ton and it is for the districts inter- ests to see that he is returned.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

There is probably a good deal in the suggestion of the Waterbury Anleri can that if Governor Holcomb had not called that extra session and then gone down to the border our boys would all be there still. Every effort that representatives of the state made to find when the soldiers would be re- called was met by Hat refusal and one was told that we had not the power to authorize voting in the field. We did authorize it, just the same, and when it came out that the only re- striction that might be made would only prevent voting for state officials and not interfere with president and congress, the situation seemed to clar- fly.

 We have never acquiesced in the at titude of the department of justice towards the New England system of transportation. The government let it's horror of the manner in which certain things financial were done mislead it with regard to the principle upon which the consolidation of lines of principle is still sound, and no better news could be carried to the business interests of New England than that the government had either reversed it's position or had decided to let things drift. We warned New England months ago not to let theircriticism of the New Haven Railroad company extend too far, lest their attitude would lead to a misunderstanding of their needs, and to consequent mis- application of judgment.
