THE N1ARDl GRAS.

As connecting link between the old world and the new, the Mardi Gras, which is the last fete day of that festal period which starts ten days before Lent, holds a unique place in the galaxy of modern customs.
 The Washingtonian, who must walt four years to witness an inauguration: the Baltimorean, who revels in the thought of an Old Home week: the San Franciscan, who points with pride to the roses cut and exhibited on New Years day; all these are pit fed by the Orleanian who knows the thrills and furbelows that accompany even the preparation of Carnival and the Mardi Gras.
 Fourth of July, Christmas, Thanks giving and other great feast days arc kept religiously in New Orleans; but when Rex and Regina, the king and queen of the Carnival, arrive in the city attendant by their courtiers, all other events fade into insignificance All the people pay homage to these esteemed personages who are taker care of by the Mystic Krewe ol Comus. The keys of the city arc turned over to them by the Mayor.
 The Mardi Gras has become fixed institution of great city. It is the real Southern fete. The richest anC the poorest, the highest and the low. as they hope to do on the Last Grea, Day. The Mardi Gras is the Elysium the great leveler, the plane whereor all men are equal.

should know how unjust are such in-
 ginning of the European war certain
 German quarters in this country rose
 in mighty defense of the Fatherland.
 That was but natural. Their old home
 country was fighting against England.
 That there were plots and blowing up,
 of bridges and buildings caused
 natural aversion to things German.
 But that all happened in another day, in other cities. Our people in New Britain had nothing to do with these outrages. If their sym pathies were
 with the Fatherland they committed
 no crime for wishing well to those of
 their kith and kin. They would have
 been unnatural sons and daughters to
 pray for a victorious England. We
 have never doubted the loyalty to this
 country of German born men and
 women. When their enthusiasm led them to sometimes vociferous defense of Germany we knew that when this country needed their support they
 would be even more loyal. And now the time has come where they will
 show this to be true. Any man in this country who attributes malicious acts to German-born citizens does not know those who hold forth in New Britain. Any man who attempts to connect the series of fires here last week with any German-born citizen, Of falsiher. w..

 A short time ago the editor of the Herald was appealed to by two ad- mirers of soft shoe dancing to deter mine whether Primrose or West, of the famous minstrel team, was the superior at this art. MT. Primrose was communicated with and the fol- lowing letter was received from him today:
 Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 23, 1917. To the Editor of the Herald:
 Your letter of Feb. just received and I will gladly settle the argument. l am the one that always did soft shoe dancing, While West was a wonderful dancer, soft shoe dancing was out of his line.

IN JUSTICE TO OUR FOLK,

Out-of-town sources have unjustly attributed the fires of New Britain to German intrigue. The people of this town know there is no truth in such charges. They know further that the German people of New Britain who have taken out their naturalization papers stand as the highest typo of American citizens. If those who in- habit this section of the country do not worry about psrnicaous activity among the German people here 1t be- comes outsiders to refrain from nasty words. We who live among them

 The world And oh I'm full of scornful pities For dWellers in streets and narrow cities; For the trades songs, and trade -ditties They chant. And l wish I could smitc out of ere The lie they call their civilization A lie that is but sol dissipation, Soul-deceit and cant. Pm out again in the great spaces, Far from men and the little places, I'm out again where the heart faces The lone night and the stars.

KLETT MAKES STATEMENT
New Britain Senator Makes Explana- tion Concerning Charge Made By Senator OSulliVan.

Senator George w. klett of this city, chairman of the judiciary com mittee and a member of the repubi- can state committee, made a state ment today concerning the charges made against republican state com- mittee by Minority Leader O'Sullivan in the senate last week, in which the senator is alleged to have intimated that the republicans had taken paper for campaign purposes that had been purchased by the state. Senator O'Sullivan made much of the fact that the paper on which campaign lit erature was printed contained the state seal water mark.
 This, Senator Klett explained. is not at all irregular or unusual. Inves- tigation showed that the state seal water mark is mark designed and paid for by the Case, Brainard & Lockwood Co.,, of Hartford which supplied the state with paper and also sold to the republican party, Senator Klett said. The water mark is sim Div a distinguishing trade mark and does not signify that paper carrying this mark is solely state paper, he said.
 In support of this explanation, Sen ator Klett said that he went incog- nito to the salesrooms of the paper company and purchased for ostensi- bly private use a quantity Of paper containing this same water mark. He said that Senator Brooks did the same thing. both men bringing their pur chases into the senate to prove their
