ALDERMEN, STOP THIS
Help Your Constituents BY Abat-
ing a Nuisance.

The Chicago City Council owes 1t
to the million Of people who attend
moving picture theaters in Chicago to
put curb on the people who disturb
others in the audience by carrying on
conversations while the play is on
the screen.
These know-it.alls and leather
lunged idiots are to be found in every
theater in Chicago, to the annoyance
of everybody else.
The Chicago City Council 20 years
ago, on the initiative Of Alderman N.
M. Plotke, passed an ordinance pro.
hibiting women from wearing hats in
theaters and thus obstructing the
view of other people.
The smart Alexis laughed at this
ordinance at first-especially the
smart Aleck daily press-but the city
enforced It and today II is the rule in
every theater in America.

COUNCILS OF DEFENSE.
Need For Their Continuance, is
Claimed BY Headquarters.

Editor New britain Herald:
You are Of course thoroughly
familiar with the organization of the
Council of Defense system throughout
the country. Under the Council of
National Defense in Washington,
consisting of the Secretaries of War,
Navy, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce
and Labor, with Governor B. Clark
son as director, there has been built
up under the governors of the forty
eight states complete defense sys-
tenn now consisting in addition to the
state organization of 1000 counties,
5000 women's divisions, and some
164OOO community and municipal
units This great field machinery has
REPRESENTED the people of the United
States in Washington and has carried
through to the smallest community
the problems and measures of the
national government during the war.
in Washington the Council of Ma
tional Defense has created such vital
bodies as the War Industries board,
Aircraft Production board, the Com
nercial Economy board, acting in a
sense as a great administrative
laboratory; and other similar gov
eminent war agencies The council
of National Defense has been con-
tent to build these agencies and turn
over to them the specific problems
which come within their jurisdiction.
It had not originally been the in
tention to continue the state council
of defense system beyond the date of
the signing of the armistice. How
ever, we find many problems that now
require careful handling-problem in
which the cooperation of the people
throughout the United States is not
only desirable but absolutely neees-
sary. There is the problem of
Americanization, the problem of nm
employment, the transference of the

Believes CAN'T Red Flag" Would Be
Futile LEGISLATION.
Editor New Britain Herald:

Editor New Britain Herald:
Under ordinary circumstances I
would not burden YOU with a reply
to- editorial comment but because
do not wish to be misunderstood
am writing to you with reference to
an editorial which appeared in the
New Britain Herald on Saturday, en-
titled Progressive Legislation" which
concerned my appearance before the
judiciary committee Of the 1egisla-
ture in opposition to Red Flag bill.
7 feel that your editorial must have
been written under isconception
as to what happened at the hearing.
My only opposition to the bill was
on the ground that it is futile legis-
1ation, SO easy to evade as to create
disrespect for it and for all law. I
believe that legislating against the
red flag does not remove or cure the
red flag spirit any more than apply
ing talclm powder cures a running
sore simply because it hides it. If
/ thought a red flag law would in
any way ''repress and suppress any
element that threatens our national
institutions' [ should be in favor of
If. But it won't. Refuse them the
red flag and those who are bound to
carry it as a symbol of disorder will
carry something else and laugh at
the law.
Massa chusetts> had such a law and
repealed it when it was pointed out
that the flag of Harvard is red. The
only other law I know of on the sub
ject is q city ordinance in New
York.
Abolish the red flag and those who
carry it will be just as much of a
menace as ever. They will still meet
and plot, and perhaps do violence.
but unless they show the red flag in
so doing your law is futile to stop
them. That to my mind illustrates
the futility of legislation which aims
merely at a symbol when what is
desired is to suppress or correct a,
spirit My contention before the COM
: m1ttce was that education in Am eri-
. ca11lzatlon is to be preferred over
I such laws. 1t isn't the red flag that
makes the Bolshevki, and you may
! eliminate the red flag to your heart
, content and still have the menace Of
BolsheVlsm, which you are aiming to
stamp out.

justment than it was to prepare for

For that reason Mr.. Clarkson, di-
rector of the council, at the personal
request of the secretary Of war,
chairman of the council has agreed
to continue in Office and has written
the states suggesting that a special
non-partisan, non-sectarian bureau or
commission be established in each
state which will draw from the coun-
Gil of defense system already created
those dividends for peace which the
war effort of the nation has entitled
it to receive.
You have carried in YOUR news
columns and your state council has
received, an outline of the directors

therefore taking the liberty of ask,
ing that you give the support of YOUR
publication to your own state or
CARNATIONS in the furtherance of this
work, which touches so Intimately
and in such a wholly non-partisan
way the life of practically every
hamlet of the nation.
I should be very glad to receive
from you any suggestions as to the
methods by which the best possible
results could be obtained in your own
district. These suggestions will OF
course be tabulated and laid before
the council.

RORAH REBEL CHTEFJiAN.

A New York Herald correspondent
at Washington has taken an Informal
poll of the Senate on the Society of
Nations and reports that, should
President Wilson ask that body to en-
dorge the twenty-six articles, a ma
jority would assent. This would not
be ratification, however. A two
thirds vote in approval is necessary
to ratification and, the Herald man
writes, the President does not COM
ynand a margin OF two-thirds. Among
the members of the Senate, six Dem
ocrats would withhold approval if a
test were made and six Republicans
would support the President.
Senator Borah is the first mem Der
to announce that he will remain
away from the White House confer
ence with President Wilson and
others are expected to follow his lead.
Such action seems to be inconsistent.
The President has been criticized be
cause he has not taken the Senate
into his confidence and now that he
offers to furnish information on the
subject Of a league of nations his in
yitation is fouted. Refusal to attend
the discussion can be interpreted only
as a preconceived affront, the result
of political spleen.

Letter of Resignation from New York
Republican Club of Supreme Court
Justice John Ford

AS YOU know, I attended the an
nual dinner of the Republican club to
do honor to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln on the anniversary of his
natal day. I naturally expected to
find there nothing out Of consonance
with the noble ideals for the realiza-
ton Of which that saintcd patriot
lived and died.
Instead, | was treated TO a shame

against the President of the United
States and Commander Chief of our
Army and Navy, who, in these Hateful
days, is striving against the militia rist
spirit of European nations to bring to
a definite realization the altruistic
purposes for which our people entered
the world conflict, even as Lincoln
strove, under the vilihcation of the
Becks of his day, for kindred objects.
"At the very hour of Beck's attack
upon him, President Wilson's tran
scendent influence with the peoples of
Europe was winning from their rep
resentatiVes at the peace conference
approval Of the preliminary draft of
the constitution OF the League of
Nations which in every line breathes
the true spirit Of Americas highest
deals, of our passionate devotion to
peace and our adherence of war, of
the equality of men and the exalta-
ton Of right over might in interna-
tional affairs. President Wilson stands
there representing this American ma
ton in all the splendor of its demo
cratic majesty. He has been &C
claimed by all the world IS the para

centered not only the hopes and as
pirations Of our country, but also
those of the weak, the lowly and the
oppressed of all nations, for whose
sufferings and misfortlnes the great
heart of this republic has always
throbbed with active sympathy.
