Approves of Editorial.

New Britain, Conn.,, May 2S, 1919. Editor New Britain Herald:
 I read your editorial in regard 10 the much needed investigation in the New Britain High school. You seem to have laid the blanc upon the shoulders of the students mselvcs, but in that respect I think you have been mistaken. The spirit of the student body in the New Britain High school is far better than in the ma jority of the schools in the country. The athletic material is remarkable for the size of-the school. Then why you may ask, can it not put out ath letic teams which at least can make d fair showing? The answer is that un- developed material is almost as bad as no material at all. The reason that the New Blitn High school has had strong teams formerly is that tho coach of former years earned his sal ary. pr. ZWick didn't come up to a football or baseball practice dressed as if he were going to a tea party. He didn't come up to the football field in his Sunday clothes, spats and shined shoes. He didn't stay on the side lines and look unCOncerned. New Britain's former coach, in regular players togs, got into the game him. self and showed the team how to play. No wonder Hartford went down to defeat year after year. If New Britair's present coach cannot put out a baseball team, then why should he not step back and leave someone n who is capable of developing the boundless athletic material thcrc is at the present time at the local High school?
 As to tho fraternities, no student can safely express himself against them. They control not only the sO- cial but oven the athletic phase of tho school. There isn't a captain or man ager of any team who does not belong to one of the three largest fratornitieS which are almighty in the local High school at the present time. A student, even though he may have the greatest of athletic ability, has not a fair chance of getting on any teaU if he is not member of the Fraternity which controls that particular sport. Why does not the school board en- force it's ruling of a few years before :? Can it be that their own children are prominent in these fraternities?
 Favoritism is another reason why the school is declining. There arc dis
 
 High school; tho "swells' or "dudes," whom you have so ably described a lew days ago in your paper, and those who arc in school to learn something. me "SWclls" are the fraternity men CD and they have controlled tho athletics of the school fOr the last two years. That is why thc' local schools standard on the football field. the basketball court and the baseball diamond has been so far below Hart ford's
 In closing, 1 will say that l belieV that the true consensus of opinion or the student body, emitting fhc
 rat men, is as 1 have above oX- p' assed it. Parents. Taxpayers. Cltl- ze IS. The New Britain High school is l r' ! by your money. See that it IS not elessly squandered and that your

PRESIDENCY BEHIND HIM.

A literal interpretation of the speech made by President Wilson at Paris
 Monday evening when President Pes Bboa of Brazil was rendered a compli- kmentary dinner would indicate that she American executive has no desire ao become a candidate for another Rerm in the White House. One of his IEtatements was: Tt is very delight Bful for one thing, if I may say so, to eknoW that my presidency is not ahead of me-"
 No effort is made to disguise the Eact that the great body of Democratic *yoters want Woodrow Wilson for their Candidate and it may be that he will 8be forced to accept the nomination 4for a third. term. By centering their 8attacks on the President, the Repub- 8licans have strengthened his hand 1should he decide to run again. Their $criticisn1. has been of the Democratic &party in general way, but it has al

Progress of the Hired Man.
(NcW York Herald.)


 Everybody believes that women are getting the better Of men in every line of endeavor. This is true in many instances. It is SO generally true that the exception is it's own apology for this notice. In both ci+1- and country the maid servant in one case and the hired girl'' In the other have long had an advantage over their household contemporaries in trousers. To large extent this is still so to unpreiudiced observers in Inc city, but is not so firmly estab- llshed on the farm. There is where there are signs of mans uprisings.
 The watchful eye of Secretary Houston sees the handwriting on the barn door. He says nothing whatever to the farmers about a better bed for the hired girl, but is telling the til- lerS Of the soil that the hired man no longer will sleep on ropes in an attlc room under a leaky roof and over a duck raising chickens, to run scythe in his eye when he tumbles out to work in the dark two hours before breakfast. If we are to feed Germany and all Europe and have nothing left for ourselves the secre- tary points out that the hired man must come into his own. That, it is suggested, is a bachelor one room apartment house to be known as a hUnkhOuSe-with a part of WhiCl name the hired man is already ia miliar-tO be built especially for hin outside of the barnyard but within walking distance thereof. There ht is to sleep and live in his clul except at meal time, when the usua table d'hote style will prevail in tht farm house.
 Some of these plans for barn hclr houses include several bedrooms, 6 kitchen, dining room and even a bath room to take the place of the creek in cold weather. The idea is an ex- cellent one. Bunk houses of this character will solve the problem ot caring for extra hands which many fruit and truck farmers have to face every year. There is one drawback however, to the scheme as presented in the bulletin sent out to retain male help in agTiCulture-it may tend to scatter it. The houses as drawn look so pretty that the farmers wife in many cases may insist on swap ping with the hired men.

VICIOUS CHARGES
 AGAINST WILSON
Some Republicans Now Accuse Him
 of Trying to Save the
kaiser.

Washington, D. C., May 29.-Presi dent Wilson stands caarged with new offense-that of Saving the Kaiser'-and is being condemned by the republican publicity association. In formal statement from this as-. sociation, which assists the republi- can national committee in fighting the league of nations--Prcsident Will. son is attacked for alleged leniency to Butcher Bill"
 "The patience which the president of the United States has exhibited towards Germany. the Germans and the Kaiser and his court is of a qual![ ity more vicious than virtuous," says this association.
 ''Is Bill the Butcher to get off scot free? Is the muddle which Mir. Will son is stirring up in Europe to screen the escape of this arch-conspirator against mankind?" the statement in6. Quires. "Is this advance agent of antichrist, if not the apocalyptie beast himself, to find safe refuge be, heath the academic skirts of a man whose imperialism was repudiated al the polls last November?"
 In thus charging the president of the United States with a deliberate. purpose of affording protection and immunity to the Kaiser, and of stir. ring up muddle in Europe" the re-
 publican publicity organization speaks also for leading republicans in pub 1 lie office and in private life. Officers 1 of the republican publicity associa. 1 tion are former Senator Jonatharys 1 Bourne, Jr, president; former Sem 1 ator John w. Weeks, of Massachu-
 sets, vice. president; Representative l Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, treas.
 urer; Anson W. Prescott, secretary.
 and Senators Gronna, of North Da-@ kota; Poindexter, of Washington;, | Harding of Ohio, and Hale, of Maine;s former Senators Works, of Califor- | mia, and James A. Hemenway, of In- !, diana; former Congressman George $. Fsirchi1d. of New York, and Messrs. Benjamin s. Hanchett,- of Michigan, and Walter S. Dickey, of Missouri, who constitute the execus~ tive committee. .

The 1920 Democrat.
(BOStOn Herald. )

Several of our readers have asked us-in view of the observation on this page yesterday that Leonard Wood enjoyed a marked pre-emi- neDce among the republican possi- bilities for the presidency-who oc- cupicd a similar position on the dem ocratic side of the fence. That ques- ton is equally easy to answer. It is Mr. NIcAdOo I4c retired from the cabinet greatly improved in business reputation, widely advertised by req son of his many activities, and eVerN- where recognized as strong in az gressiveness and capacity. There may have been better men in the cabinet, but they have performed no service sufficiently conspicuous to get them into the candidate class This is true of Lane and Houston, for examp pie.
 The nominating convention of the party in power always resolves itself into race between the adminis~ tratOn and it's opponents That was the nature of the battle in 1926, which led up to the nomination of William J. Bryan. The anti-adminis- tration forces outran those of MT, Cleveland. That was tic hattie in the republican ranks in 1903, when
 
 backing MT. Taft outran the rest of the field. Next years battle in the democratic convention might well be 0ne between Champ Clark and the White House candidate.
 In such a situation VIC should look to sec the Wilson administration control. We can hardly conceive of tho presidents losing strength fast cnouGh to permit of any other result. Aud his control would mean virtual ly his selection O. Q candidate. That might he himself, or his son-in-laW, or Secretary Baker, or Colonel House, or any other man upon whom prcai. dential favor saw fit to rest. From present indications it is moro likely to be Mr. McAdoo than anybody else.
 Tho former secretary would labor under sOmc disadvanta ges in being the presidents son -in-l2W. Tho cOun- try would like candidate quito 1q well who had married Mary Smith CT Ann Jones: and still McAdoo's marriage to the presidents daugh- ter might not be regarded as dis qualifying. There is a difference be- tween sons and son-in-law. The late Colonel Roosevelt. for example, might have brought to pass the nomination of Nicholas Longworth in contest in which Theodore, Jr., would have been unavaiable And MT. McAdoo's prominence before he became a son. in-law~ accentuates that difference.
 Tell us whom President Wilson wants and we shall come pretty near to knowing the democratic candidate. And ii looks today as if he would want MT. NIcAdoo.

I will say that you exhibited d great lack of tact, Mr. Editor; you have by your unnecessary and uncalled for remarks cut deep into the hearts of many of us who love our school, who do glory in it's past traditions, and who will yield no ground in it's de- fense. There are questions of far greater importance in the affairs of our city which you might comment upon, instead of the mere fact that the High school lacks a baseball team this year. so when the spirit moves you to again comment upon High school affairs "be sure you're right and then go ahead.'
 Cordially yours.
