ton to stand for no nonsense from Berlin, as indicated in the "bus1tanla' and 'sussex" correspondence; the rupture of diplomatic relations by the United States when Germany pro- and the declaration of war by this country in April, 1917. It was then that the Hun showed his teeth and claws and venom fully. It was then that the Hun press. forgetful of the protection our foreign representatives had afforded their subjects in Entente countries, burst forth into tirades which were in many cases identical with the statements credited to Gov ernor Holcomb. It was then that the Germans called us a money-mad, sell fish people without a trace of self respect and without prestige in Euro pean capitals. It is strange indeed that the governors utterances are without corroboration except in the land of the Hun. It is inconceivable that an executive who has been re- ferred to by his admirers as "our war governor" should be guilty of such an uncalled-for and outrageous effront- cry. The fact that he subsequently, 1auds our war activities in no wise lessens the insult his opening words convey to the American people,
 The governor has been guilty of a terrible faux pas, which can be atoned for only by an immediate retraction and complete apology. And if such a speech is characteristic" of the gov-
 ernor, as the Hartford morning news
 paper represents it to be, it would be well if he desisted from such evidences of Character" in the future. The
 American people do not relish such
 characteristic" speeches and will not 1 tolerate them.

reconstruction will work out the ques- tion arises, how long will it be before the Ideal state is reached? How long Will It take civilization to solve the problems that beset humanity and so do away with all the conditions of poverty and ignorance? The thought s prompted by reading in an Ameri- can journal that MT. Charles w.. Fair banks, former vice-president of the United States, who died recently, has left FLO, ,000, the income of which is to be distributed every 50 years for the benefit of social welfare work The testator, however, decrees that the trust is to be terminated at the end of 500 years that is, in the year 2418
 This is decidedly discouraging to those who had hopes of a millennium attained by the adoption of some spe- clal ism" If social welfare work has to continue for another fivg cen tur1es, 1t is grim comment on the puny powers of man to provide an ideal world and hopes of Utopia may be dismissed from our minds It was Ruskin who styled Utopianism as "an- other of the devils pet words" and as our socialist theorists have pointed to an overwhelming state control as the
 
 only reflect on our experiences of re- cent years and remain unconvinced. It is true that we have moved forward a great deal since 70 years ago. when the chartists propounded their "six points" and were regarded as revolu- tionaries of most dangerous type Practically all that they demanded now finds general acceptance. As the years have passed and the study of so- ciology has become more general the cry Social Reform" has taken new meanings, and we suppose the inter- pretatlon will change again and again in future years. When all that the most advanced reformers today desire has been attained, there will be an- other school of visionaries with so- cial reform program which will in due course be accepted. AS history goes on repeating itself, there will always be that small band--the Bolshevil1s, maybe, of their day and generation who will get but little encouragement in their own lifetimes, but who will be honored when they are dead, and whose works will be recorded on me- morial tablets for an admirng pos terity
 The lesson for all this is shown by the 500 years time limit set by the American testator. He had probably no more reason than most folk for assuming that in five centuries Ameri- ca would be an example of the perfect state, but he saw that as reforms are best accomplished by a gradual proc ess. and that violent change-as, for example, in Russia--is no more good l for the community than for the in ] dividuaI. The Americans time limit 5 to his bequest is a simple warning to his fellow-countrymen that the grad ual method is better than the revolu- tionary one.

BRINGING THE KAISER"
Civil War Veteran Approves of Her
 aids Editorial Attitude.
-n Editor of the Herald:

TO the Editor of the Herald:
 Permit me the strongest possible commendation of your attitude relat- iag to Hanging the Kaiser" The proposition comes as a painful sur prise to our community. Our children need no further instruction in brutal izing effects of German Kultur than already given them by the Kaiser himself. Besides this such an exhibi- ton as contemplated is in direct an- tagonism with President Wilson's re- cent appeal discouraging resort to Iynchings or anything fostering the 1ynching spirit. In indorsing your at- titude in this matter I believe I voice the conviction of every comrade of the Civil war in this city. Respectfully yours,
