We are interested to read in the New Haven Union that Gov. HoI- comb ''in some ways is very narrow, reactionary and out of touch with life So far as we have observed, this amazing sentiment is entertained by a very occasional democratic paper, but that's the limit. Out of touch with lffe"-what description! Gov. Hol- comb has merely done his duty as he saw it. but in so doing he has made a name for himself and for his state. The people are proud of him and they put their own estimate on cheap parti- san efforts to belittle him.-Hartford Courant.

 Formal announcement by the war department of it's position in regard to aliens is forthcoming. It says: ''The situation in America is such that everybody whose conduct is obe dient to our laws is perfectly safe from molestation. The hospitality of our country extends to all aliens who behave.
 Those last few words tell the whole story. No man, woman or child, born under another flag, need fear any thing under the Stars and Stripes if he obeys the law. But if a single in dividual, of whatever nation, is caught to betray our hospitality. or to seek to serve another fiag-well, 1t will not be healthy for either, still less from the popular standpoint than from the government In fact, he or she uyil hn n fall inf 11n
