Balfour may confer till the cows
come home, but whatever they con-
clude must be sanctioned on Capitol
Hill and at Westminster before it
can be translated into action. West
minister was represented at the Pres
ident's board; Capitol Hill was not.
Mr.. Balfour, when he returns home,
can tell the Comomns about his visit
at Washington. But who is to tell
Congress? Where does Congress come
in? Or has Congress been politely
bowed out?

Large Shipment of Holsteins

E. J. Wagner last week received a
shipment of 124 young holstein heifers
which will be sold in the Lamar terri
tory and most of them will in the
course of a few months be added to
the pay roll at the Helvetia factory.
They are all high grade stuff and will
be sold among the patrons of the To-
cal plant. New cows are being ship
ped in right along and the daily re-
ceipts of milk at the condensery grows
larger each week.

Oil Boom Growing

Most all our land owners row have
oil leases of one kind or another on
their farms. The oil excitement is
growing stronger all the time even if
no oil has yet been struck. Several
new companies are now in the field
and there will be wells drilled in sew
eral different sections near Lamar
1t is likely thai the next few months
will see either an oil field here or the
belief that there is oil under this sec
ton forever laid to rest.

Where Does Congress Come In?

Where Does Congress Tome In!
MIR. Balfour reached Washington on
Sunday afternoon The following
morning he called at the White House
and, the evening of the same day, he
was entertained at dinner there. The
company was varied one. AT the
board sat BIltisners, Canadian, the
Cabinet, officers Of the army and
navy, John SHELTON Williams and W..
z. G. Harding, Samuel Gompers,
Barney" Baruch, julius RcsenwaId,
ard Howard Cottin-al representa-
tIves OF something or other, but
mostly chosen from that group with
which the President delights to sur
round himself. The Vice President
was there, and the speaker Of the
house; but no senator or other repre-
sentative thrust his legs beneath the
presidential mahogany or ate of the
three or less courses which are now
so fashionable in Washington dining
circles.
Yet it was Congress which voted US
into war, which grated the billions
which MIR. McAdoo is about to dis
tribute with his crowE-princely hand,
and which, at that very moment, was
debating the Presidents proposals for
selective CONSUMPTION. The appointees
of the President were there in force;
but of the representatives of the peo-
pie there were none-Champ Clark to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. BaIfour could hardly have fail
cd to notice this. He comes from a
country where the parliament is the
last repository of power, where
neither prime ministers nor any other
cabinet officers can exist without par
lIamentary sanction, where the hand
that holds the purse-strings controls
all the destinies of the nation, where,
of late, even the hereditary chamber
of the lords is impotent before the
representatives of the people.
In theory it is the same here, where
the lower house of Congress origi-
mates taxation, where both houses ex-
ercise joint power in declaring war,
where the upper chamber has neg
ativc upon the Presidents lower of
appointment and upon his functions
in concluding peace.
Yet the supreme body Of Congress
saw Mr.. Balfour and his associates
only by proxy or by stealth. In Con-
gress there are diplomatists the equal
of Mr.. Lansing, inanciers the equal
of Mr.. McAdoo, sailors the equal of
Mr.. Daniels, business men the equal
of Mr.. Redfeld, lawyers the equal of
Mr.. Gregory, soldiers the equal of Mr..
Baker, farmers the equal of Mr..
Houston, laboring men the equal of
Mr.. Gompers. But none of them were
deemed worthy to break bread with
Mr.. Balfour-and the President, to
say nothing Of John SHELTON Williams
and the others.
Just where does Congress come in :?
Has Congress done its full duty and
received It's full recognition when it
has voted money into the hands of
Mr.. McAdoo and power into the hands
of President Wilson? Or is Congress
still a coordinate branch of the gov
ernment, with rights and privileges
which extend even to social affairs
and to councils which involve the ac-
ton of the country in international
relations. Mr.. Wilson and Mr..

National Psychology.

Philadelphia North American)
 To ignore psychology, to decry sen- timent to strangle emotion this is to court defeat. Armament and mach inery and strategic planning won't win this war there must be behind them a nation with a quickened spirit and soul on fire
 Those things will come. Meanwhile the people must be prepared for man. nfactured alarms; whenever a new draft or big bond issue is in pros- pect the stinlulant of fear will be ap- plied-and that is the exemption of the present campaign of pessimism
 No rational American will under estimate the colossal task that con- fronts the nation. But though condi- tions are serious they are not worse than they have been for months, and the people should not let their judg- ment be unseated by official procla- nations Of woe.

 Stacker Stole Cycle Here
 Constable Philip Marine has re- ceived word that the police of New Haven have in their possession a bi- cycle which they believe is the prop erty of someone in Plainville.
 The bicycle was taken from young Italian, who is being held for failing to register for conscription on June 5. The young man was arrested while trying to dispose of the wheel. the ridiculously low price which he asked for it arousing suspicion. It was sub sequently found that he had failed to enroll with other conscription eli gibles and he was held for violation of the federal laws.
 He told the police that he had stolen the bicycle in Plainville, where he claimed he had worked as a tailor for few weeks.
 Constable Marine has been unable to locate anyone who lost a bicycle and he is of the impression that the prisoner is either lying or is misin- formed as to the name of the town in question.

 Curb at Station is Moved.
 In conformity with orders issued by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad the cement curb at the edge of the platform at the sta- ton has been moved back four and one half inches. The work was started three days ago by a gang of f five workmen under the supervision of Foreman Daly. The job entailed considerable work as it was necessary to dig into the ground the depth of the curb which was over four feet and the excavation was in the neigh borhood of two feet in width. The orders issued by the railroad will af- feet other towns in the state among them being Wallingford and Meriden.

kinderqarten Iraininu.

The increasing growth of kindergar-
tens in this country has recently been
remarked by the United States commits
sioner of education, who said: with
in the last six or seven years there has
been more progress in the establish
ment of kindergartens in cities, towns
and industrial villages of this country
than in any previous period of equal
length. This is especially true of
kindergartens supported by public
school funds. This progress has been
largely due to the activities of the Ma
tional Kindergarten association"
The kindergarten course secures to
the child an extra year of education,
and as the boys and girls of this coun-
try average only little over five years
in school the value of this additional
training cannot be overestimated.
