CHARTER REVISIONISTS
 MAY CHANGE VIEWS.

At the present time it appears that the charter revision committee will act favorably upon abolishing the first taxing district, debate about which has been going on for many weeks. The people in the first dis trict appeared at a recent meeting of the committee in opposition to the proposed abolition. Their pleas were many and varied and the impression was that they had gained their point. At the last meeting of the committee however, the valuation of the property was found to be less in that district than was at first supposed and the att titude of the members seemed to-, change. There are some who feel that tGe one district for the entire city would work hardships on some but there has never been any Iegisa- tion passed which was favorable to all There are also some people now in the first district who desire 10 be placed in the second district because of the added benefits which would ac- crue. Some of the propery owners in the first district showed that they have been paying for police protec- tion, etc, which they never received.

hfR. TAFT SHOOTS STRAIGHT.

Ex- President William Howard Taft,
 tn whose Iabors for a league of na-
 ns the public is thoroughly fami-
 r. rejoices at the decision of the
 ace Conference to discuss first the 8ablishment of the international so- Aty. In a copyrighted Public Led N dispatch in today's New York Srald he expresses his pleasure and
 Ses to task Senators Knox and Sdge and James. M. Beck, who say
 ey believe the formation of a league
 puld be postponed until peace ar
 hgements are perfected.
 8Mr. Taft says that the opponents of Aesident Wilson's program ignore
 e fact that "a treaty of peace can NJ be made at Paris by which the
 ace of Europe can be secured and
 lintained without a league of na-
 ms. These gentlemen may well be Aallenged to tell us what arrange ents they would suggest to the five
 tions engaged in framing this eaty for peace and making it work less it is continuing league of lose five nations to maintain it..
 Referring to the attitude of Senator nox and Mr. Beck, MT. Taft asserts lat If Senator Knox and Mir Beck are cross exa mined their admissions buId show them to be not very far moved from the view that some ing substantially equivalent to a ague of great nations must be defi- tely formed by this congress with kreed upon means for enforcing the hpulated peace.

RUSSTA'S OPPORTUNITY.

Extension by the Allies of an in vitation to all established Russian factions to send delegates to Princes Island in the Sea of Marmora. if ac- cepted, should have a tendency to set tie the Russian problem at lea st tenn invitation was particularly we'll chos- en. It carried no offense to any fac tion and there is no attempt to pass Judgment on the situation before all the evidence is submitted.
 In obtaining the consent of the Allied nations to issue the invita- tion President Wilson had the support of Premier Lloyd George of England and while it would be deplored if 8
 'balance of power were to be em- ployed for the purpose of coercing to America to learn that the leaders of the British and United States lean toward each others views It will be impossible to dissociate the Peace power but 1t will be a balance of moral power and will be backed by high resolve rather than calibre and numbe of guns.
 Recent reports from Russia lead to the belief that the Bolshevist fa ction may accept the invitation to the dis puSsion at Princa's Island Tho pus sian question can be settled peaceful ly if those who appear at the meet ing will bear in mind that they are carving out the future of their own country and not their own personal fortunes.

been gfveHs a Acard and referred to a. certain factory that had instructed the bureau it was in need of four tool makers. When the workman went to the factory he was turned away with the information that no new help was wanted Other cases of a similar nature might be cited but the foregoing is illustrative of a situ- ation that is driving labor and capi- tai apart and creating distrust on the part of labor.
 There must be a reason for this and the remedy can be brought about only by a frank consideration by both sides of all the factors that enter into the cause. With bona fide revolu- tionists, parlor Bolsheviki, selfish demagogues and honest folk led astray by spacious arguments the na- tional situation is not reassuring Elm ployers and employees should strive to eliminate any ground for dispute in this city. In the interests of public tranquility nothing should prevent a speedy investigation so that the sore caused by ill feeling might be healed before a surgical operation becomes l necessary.
 The Connecticut Federation of La Dor, in session Tuesday, took a stand against Bolshevism and pledged its support to stamping out the move ment in this state. The mem bers must hold this promise sacred and refrain from making stateme ents that are not honest criticism of the man homie system.

Editor, New Britain Herald
 The primary purpose for the instl- tuition of law among communities and peoples is the rendering of impartial justice to the m embers of these com munities Just law always gives the greatest amount of personal freedom nossfble without conflicting with the rights of others. When the law fails to do this 1t is unjust and should be repealed
 The makers of our national con- stitrtion were wise men in their day and genera ton. They made as good A constitution as was humanly possi- ble at the time they lived and with the conditions by which they were surrounded.

LIFE HOLDS so MUCH

 Sum- Life holds so much of beauty's best, Iris only we who fail the test, Who with our wavering will go down Just missing the immortal crown. The rich earth and the plunging sea, The soft commotion of the tide, The fringed exuberance of the tree, The coverts where quaint blossoms
 hide;
 The often quiet haunts of song Where rare bravures sometimes leap From throats of tinid feathered
 throng-
 And we so often clods that sleepl Last night the moon in glorious flare Rode over earth in queenly guise, A mystic radiance in her hair, The silver princess of the skies. Today the sun in lordly state Decked earth with such lovely light And we wrans,le and debate Go chained unto a worldly fight! Oh, mockery of the law most high, That men should waste the beauty
 given
 To make us brethren of the sky And our green earth a lesser heaven!
