Americans Only.
(New York Comm erciaD


 Shoe factories in the Long Isla-d city section have replaced alien strik- CTS by discharged American soldiers and report that the experiment was the ex-soldiers are doing their work fully as we'll as the foreigners who walked out. This is good news, for work has been found for nearly a thousand American fighters, who de- serve the best the nation can give. There is, however, one phase of the situation which is a bit disauieting.
 The manufa cturers announce that hereafter none save American citi zens will be employed. In a sense, but only to certain degree, this is good business. AS a matter of po- Iitical policy we believe it to be poor in judgment. Aliens who do their work, who behave themselves, are equal under the Constitution, save Tn the power of voting and holding pun lie office Not that we hold br1et for the alien who uses this country as a temporary meal ticket
 But it Is short sighted policy when restricts the employment of prof1c1eht labor because of race, color or any thing legitimate. A far better way would be for manufacturers to h1re aliens when citizens are not ohta1n- able, and then make good Amerlcahs out of the alien by teaching him the value of that privilege-by educatlns x him to a realization that the on1teo States is Gods own country--thac this is the Promised Land. Do that and new citizens will be gained, 1n- stead of disgruntled rebellious aliens.

 But is this propa aganda of ours 20 insidious as to our neighbors appre- bend? Does the poor boy amongst us marry his employers daughter with such monotonous regula rity? Does the beautiful mill girl fascinata the manufacturers son with such un~ sWerving precision? French, English and Italian villains having been de- clared out of bounds for good politi- cal reasons, and the German villain proving too nauseously sauer-krauty for discriminating stomachs, would foreign tourist be safe in assuming that the customer in a, Norfolk jacket. golf stockings and velour hat (pro. vided he could descry such a bird anywhere on his horizon) unquestion- ably had designs on his ducats or his daughter?
 No. Sadly let us confess: we cannot pretend that our millionaires grow on trees as plentifully as cherries, to be plucked by wistful country maidens of the type of the beautiful sisters Gish: nor that cavalCades gallop through our business streets in pursuit of horse thieves as commonly as fire en- l zines: nor that tender adventure awaits youth at every street car stop.

 sion of our national romance as day. l light to the cosmetic cheek. We do not live up to our films. That Is the sad fact about our great American l propaganda, and tourists are hereby warned:

She Was "Vampin' Him.

"Is this where you put death mo- tices in the paper?' he asked as he shambled up to one of the desks. He was informed that it was and, dra wing up a chair, he began to tell most sympathetic story of the sudden death of his friend Jim--'as good a paperhanger as there was in the city of Spring gfield." Jim had died of heart failure the night before at his boarding house, and so the stranger the pa per so that Jinl's friends would know and come to pay their last re- spects.
 As he rose to go, his ornate watch back was Jims name. and after a little questioning he admitted that he was Jim, whose memory he was mourning.
 You see, it is this way" he said. "There is a Jane in this town that is vampin' me- and l am darn good and sick of it. Cant you put a notice in the paper that I am dead so that she will read it and lay off of me? Gosh, I aint had no peace for most two months. she has been after me so. Cant you?"

IN \ TIGHT CORNER.

Pity the gentlemen at Washington and have patience. President Wilson has placed before them an issue they cannot comfortably ignore, be- cause the campaign of 1920 confronts them. They know not which way to turn. whether to vote for the repeal of the time prohibition act or permit it to remain on the books. If they vote to repeal it they will offend the drys.' If they vote not to re- peal it or take no action at all they will offend the "wets.' It is a cruel world
 The New York Times summarizes the situation in a dispatch from the national capital as follows:
 Congress. according to tnc view
 heard at the Capitol, does not feel
 disposed 10 tampcr with prohibit
 ton with the 1920 campaign
 looming up. Leaders of the two
 parties are afraid of antasonizing
 the prohibition element among
 the voters if they repeal the law,
 while admitting that if they do
 not attempt it's repeal they will
 incur the displeasure of advo-
 cates of wine and beer.
 Particular notice should be paid to the fact that the Congressmen are afraid of something. They are not considering the case on it's merits simply counting the votes they will win or lose during the next president tial campaign.

SHH. ANOTHER MYSTERY.

For q well-behaved, business every- minute city, Hartford can dig up more mysteries than any other place in the United States and it's territories. It seldom lacks for sensations real or ina ginary and a week seldom passes that it does not offer spicy violation of the Mann act, d Kidnapping, a gath ering of bomb-throWing anarchists or something to stir the minds of it's citizens out Of the ordinary humdrunl course of thought.
 Just at present it is experiencing a recrudescenCe of mystery stuff. This time, according to the morning paper, it is the "Woman in Black" whose identity and object in fife would cause severe visitation of brain fever to the homes of Old King Brady, Dia- mond Dick, Nick Carter and other heroes who devoted their lives to run ming down crime and punishing evil doers. For the past few days the res idents of that section of the city near Westland and Barbour streets have been annoyed by the actions of a fe- male person who has been referred ''Woman of Mystery" With the as- sistance of an excited group of school children the police arrested her "She' proved to be a woman of sixty years whose mental soundness is questioned.
 Now comes tho solution. It is start ling. It is this: The wicked, conniv- ing selectmen of some town, desiring to rid themselves of the incubus of an insane pauper, bundled her into an autom obiIe, sped like the wind to- of the streets and sped back home again. There is no doubt about it l The story is believed in Hartford be- | cause the woman hinted that it is true. This in spite of the fact that 1 she is admitted to he insane. Hart l ford probably proceeds on the theory l that her statements come from a sound mind when it wants to believe them but her words are not to be talk en seriously If it does not want to be- 1 lieve them.
 It's all in lifetime. Hartford
 must have it's thrills. But the lates
 sounds like what Americans cal

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

With an impressive list of cham suffra ge amendment bill won sweep ing victory in the House of Repre- sentatives. The result was a sign of the times. Opponents of woman suf- frage may as well run up the white flag now as at some future date The women are eventually going to have the vote and only those whose mental visibility is low will deny it. This is not an argument for suffrage or against it. It is merely a statement of fact. Woman may not obtain politi-
 cal recognition on a par with man this year or next year. but the time is not far distant when she will re- ccive it.

Patents and Prosperity.
(Newark News).

News that the Federal governme ent will have it's patent house put in or der by congress means a good deal more than a cleaning day for the Patent Office and a general refurbish- ing of practices that are dry with age and dusty with routine. For 1t points to renewal and expansion of the national wealth. in which every least citizen will have direct share.
 Sheer brute labor, in all the world S history, has never been productive enough to turn out goods in sufflclent volume to provide more than bare living for the average man and woman. The world, in honest terms was poor world till invention put tools into mems hands. and the worlds wealth has increased in pro- portion to the use and the improve ment of tools.

Touring the State Parks.
(Nev Haven Register)

When the time for the summer vacation comes-and the time for making plans for that vacation is here now, in spite of the VagarieS of the weather--there is going to be some attention given to tours by automobile by people who cant af- ford to travel long distances and who want to see something of their own state. Perhaps some of these will make up their minds to make the tour of the state parks, , in number, comprising some 3.150 acres. The state register gives the list, but does not include Wheaton Park, near Wal lingford, the latest addition to the system, to which the New Haven tourist would naturally go first of all.
 These parks are scattered about the state and make up system which has been admired and envied, but they are practically unknown to the majority.
 At all of the larger parks the camper is welcome, and can come in, pitch his tent, build his campfire. and stay IS long as he Wishes-as long. of course, as he respects the rights of others and behaves himself. Here is a camping ground as good as those of Maine or New Hampshire, or any where else the camper who thinks he has to have woods. and scenery. and discom forts, wants. It Is not strange that both the tour and the camping sites are receiving attention from young gentlemen and their fathers and mothers, too, as to their ada pt- ability as summer vacation spots dur ing July and August.

Anti-G Cigarette Laws

Nebraska has repealed it's pIritanic and ineffective anti-cigarette law.
 The few states which still have the same kind of a law will, no doubt, take similar action, for in not one of them has the law been enforced.
 Some years agO, encouraged by the progress liquor prohibition was mal<- ing, ultra -puritanic reformers sought 10 com bine with the crusade against alcoholic drink one against tobacco generally and cigarettes in particular.
 They sought to have laws enacted placing cigarettes as well as Whiskey under ban; and in several states they ceeded-Nebra being the bell vether of the lot Even the few states in which they succeeded did not treat the law seriously.
 Jiouor prohibition is directed gainst a real and potent evil. Ad vocacy of it is supported by a long and gruesome trail of crime misery l and human shipWreck. And for that 1 reason it's appeal has met with pOpu- l lar favor and therefore, with legal ! support.
