The Oldest Democracy.
(San Francisco Chronicle.


The Russian brand of democracy
does not seem we'll fitted to carry any
conclusion It's efficiency apparently
ended with It's tumbling over of the
dynasty, which, in fact, really fell
mainly from it's own weakness and
corruption.
The march of events In Russia Is
following more closely than most
realize that of the French revolution
In the eighteenth century, but the
revolutionary enthusiasm did impart
tremendous fighting capacity to the
rank and file of the French armies,
which seems to be wholly lacking IN
the Russian rank and file. which has
hitherto been unsurpassed in fighting
qualities.
OF course, the French had an adj
vantage in that the convention which
assumed supreme power had a leg'-
innate popular origin. The Russian
Duma which could claim such origin
could not rise to the position or
the French states general, which de-
clared itself a constituent emily,
and for long time vigorously exer-
cised real authority.
The Russian revolution has thus far
been a sudden coalition of represen-
tatlVeS OIL every uooO VI |o AA's
from constitutional republicanism to
wild and violent anarchy. The dy-
! nasty disposed of, the coalition speed
! lily dissolved and the anarchy which
| it required a decade to develop in
| France and lead to a Napoleon de-
| veloped almost overnight in Russia,
! and has led to a kerensky. whose
! mower is not yet proved. Unless he
| Is found to have the audacity and
! the force to unite the Russian ma
ton, apparently that country Will
henceforward cut little figure in the
war. It's condition is hopeless in the
face of the German autocratic fight
| ing machine.
At the other extreme Of democracy
stands our own country. 1t is the
oldest. richest and most powerful OF
! denocra cies. Whether it is the best
ORGANIZED has yet to be proved. But
thus far we cannot pretend to much
| efficiency. The shipping muddle is
now fresh in our minds and 1t Is typ
ical Of the greater conflicts in con
cress. After months of war, con
| press has been una bic to pass a fooC
bill or a war tax bill. Extremists de-
termined to get their way, and fac
ton binders action.

To Bard Ripling.

Dear Bumm- Bard
Believe me, old Scout twas a pleas
ure to get
All them nice liz verses you
chucked;
And I'm writing to say that your
handsome bo-kay
Is as fresh as the day it was
plucked.
Amt it better by Heck, to get some
thing like this
Than to hear some old pessimist
shout,
"Oh there's nobody home in the top
of his dome"
Or, 81 wonder who let the nut
Quit"
Dawgonit it's hard to keep plugging
along
With but little or nothing in sight
And a word now and then from some
praise-slinging pen
Puts ginger and pep in the fight
The life of a poet at best, is no
cinch-
We all get discouraged at times;
An honest and true, I have moment
so blue
That I can't read those letters from
Grimes.
Twas great to sit down after supper
at night,
And from our old newspaper read
Of the travels Of Boggs, but guess
that the fogs
Of old Plainville have cut down his
speed.
He started with plenty of gas In his
tank
His engine was setting a pace,
But I guess that there must have
been something that bust,
For he lost the old ink-sl1nging
Perhaps in the future I might hand
your more
OF that old Kipling stuff that I
sling,
For really think that this noble old
gink
Should inspire all us poets to sing.
I thank you for all the nice things
that you said,-
And write me again If you wish,
So now I suppose it Is proper to
close
Sincerely and truly-old BIsH.

COMMUNICATED.
TOWN FARM OUT OF FAIR.
Board of Charities Decides Not to
Permit Exhibits.

Aug. 9th, 1917.
Editor New Britain Herald:
Dear Sir-Will you please inform
the writer why the Board of Public
Charities has prohibited the present
management Of the Town Farm from
making the usual exhibit at the COM
Ing State Fair at Berlin, of the prod
ucts of the New Britain Town Farm.
For the last eight years, exhibits
OF the products of the Town Farm
have been displayed, and have done
credit, both to the Farm, and the city
Of New Britain and each succeeding
year the premiums have increased,
which goes to show that the farm was
developing under the very efficient
management of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Kibbe.
Last year the premiums received
were the highest in history. and
amounted to between $3.50 and $3.50
dollars Of course this amount goes
into the city treasury and it's sone-
what of a mystery to the writer why
the board should have come to the de-
cision, not to allow any more exhibits
al the State Fair.
Every citizen Of New Britain Is in
terested directly or indirectly in the
success Of the State Fair at Berlin
and it seems to the writer, its either
lack of good judgment, or prejudice
on the part of the present board to
withdraw this exhibit and this year
above all years when we hear SO much
about home gardens, municipal gar
dens. and farm development in gen.
eral. L think It's the heighth of stu
pidity and lack of judgment for the
board to take this stand, as an exhibit
such as the Town Farm has displayed
in the past, would certainly be OF
great encouragement, and demonstrate
fully to the home gardner, the NUM-
cipal farmer, and practical farmer,
what can be done with a farm, that
was run down and in the condition the
Town Farm was run down when the
present Management took charge seven
years ago.
VIII you please see what formation
you can get, and inform the citizens OF
New Britain, the reason of this &C
ton, and why they wish to throw away
$50 or more in premiums.
Yours for the best interests of New
Britain, and success of the Berlin
Fair.
remain,
Very sincerely,
AN INQUIRER.

The IriSI, and the War.

The Hon. T. P. O'Connor, who Ia in
this country as the mead of the Irish
parliamentary commission, and who
IS better known to mis- friends III this
city as 'Tay-Pay," recently submitted.
to a general interview upon Irish pol-N
itics In the course Of which he asked
the definite question whether there is
a secret sympathy between certain OF
the Irish people and Germany?
AS this is a question lich some
people asked themselves .,rrely be-
cause of the activities of ll,., who arc
best classified professional Irish
men though they have never seen
Ireland it is we'll to let Mr.. O'CoN-
nor answer in his own words: Mem.
cries of the bitter wrongs inflicted on
the race and country by the English
in the past, and a series of criminal
hlunders since the war began have
made the Irish once more vehemently
anti-English both in Ireland and in,
Am erica. The Irish are not, T believe,
pro- German but anti-English. The
entrance of America into the war
raises quite a new issue, for the in
terests Of America and those of her
allies are become the same. There
for to be pro-American is to be pro-
ally, and to be American and pro-
ally 1s to be anti-German. I am sur4
that this truth is by this time appar-
ent to all the Irish race in America.
and that they Will be as passionately
patriotic to America as they have al
ways been, especially in time of war
and national peril
That is not only convincing state
ment but it is charac teristic OF the
man who makes it. America has al
ways sympathized with her citizens of
Irish descent and depended upon
them for loyal support. We are ouitA
at one with Mr.. OConnor in the be-
lief that whatever grievances are with
England the 1rish-Americans will per-
NIT no prejudice to place an obstacles
in the path OF their own country here.

FOR THE BOYS IN CAMP.
Little Things the Soldiers Need; Easy
to Get Here, But Difficult at Camp.

little Things the Soldiers Need; Easy
To Get Here, But Difficult at Camp.
The first few weeks in camp are the
hardest for the young soldier. IL IS
q violent wrench from home life and
normal social ties to camp conditions
with tent life, radical change OF food'
limited bathing facilities, stiff dr1ll
and rigid discipline. To tide the lad
over this period, home folks may help
very materially. His mail is the big
thing for the boy in camp. Each day
send him some greeting or some love
token, be it ever so small. The prob
lem of laundry is sometimes difficult.
so send him a handkerchief today and
a. pair Of good socks tomorrow, and
repeat it now and then. He has
sweet tooth-satisfy 1t with candy and
chocolate in small lots only, each
piece wrapped in oiled paper that 1t
may not reach him a sticky mess. He
will, after a little experience, take
pure chocolate with him on a hike,
and it seems to keep man up better
than other food.
His tent is not lighted, so If you
can provide a small pocket f1ashlight,
you may solve the problem Of his
finding things at night Because
bathing facilities are sometimes very
limited, a good big bath sponge Is ap-
preciated, and you may follow it with
a towel now and then. Pennies for
postage may be few, SO send him a
book of stamps, also an occasional
ma gazine or illustrated weekly Bound
books are not usually desired in
camp. He needs the ordinary toilet
articles, but do not send talcum pow
der, tooth past, tooth brush, sha wing
cream, razor blades and soap all on
the same day-an. item each mail is
better. Put a small package of court
plaster In your next letter. He will
enjoy a Testament or prayer book
and especially one of the khaki-bound
ones that may be secured from the
American Bible society. If he did
not take his watch and you can af-
ford cheap wrist watch, send it. A
pair of heavy tan laces to replace the
worn ones that permit his shoes to be
sloppy would be welcomed; also a
tiny, good, hand shaving mirror Half
a dozen blanket safety pins and as
many ordinary large safety pins are
among the handiest things in the kit.
Two or three small washrags-a sort
that can be easily cleaned and dried
quickly.
Parcel post solves the problem of
sending small packages safely. Ad-
dress plainly and fully with the num-
Der Of his regiment and the letter Of
his company, troop or battery, and
delivery is almost absolutely assured,
though he moves from place to place
very often. Insure the more valuable
articles; it costs but a trife
DO not put all in one bundle, but
string it out over days and weeks. so
that he will learn to listen most
eagerly for mail CALI 1t is pathetic
to note the number of men in the
service to whom the arrival of the
mail means nothing. Carelessness or
Wrongdoing separates them from
home and loved ones, so they get no
mail. Don't let the soldier man from
your home circle. be of this group

WHILE THEY ARE YOUNG.

Universal military service may and
may not come out Of this war. The
United States, however, will institute
some method of military training
whereby its young men will be ever
ready for the call to arms should
necessity demand. The lesson of this
war has been learned at great expense
Of time and money. We must never
4e>in be caught unprepared.
One American army officer has al
ready advanced a plan whereby the
youth of the nation can be easily
trained for the work Of soldering. He
would. in the very near future, have
called to the colors all young men be-
tween the ages of 10 and 81, and train
them in the camps left vacant by our
boys sent to France. This would, of
course, require an amendment to the
draft law, and it has been suggested
that a proviso be added that not one
Of these boys be called for active SER
vice until he had reached the age OF
21.
There may be many reasons why
the War Department Will not adhere
to such a plan or take kindly to the
idea Of drafting the younger men.
And yet there are seemingly more
reasons why the War Department
.should wax enthusiastic over the pros
poets of adding so many young men to
the ranks of the army. Young men
undoubtedly make the best soldiers.
There are some of the finest specimens
of soldiery in the various military col
leges throughout the country and
these young fellows are mostly under
| age.
With the boys in military colleges,
! and the boys who have not yet had
| that experience, the United States
| Government could put in training to-
morrow a reserve army of almost one
| million members. There are approx
| mately that number Of young boys in
| America between the ages Of 10 and
:, p who are physically capab BILE Of un-
| dergoing the attendant strain of camp
! training. Such valuable timber should
not be lost to the nation They should
be trained while they are young
