THE pIRGING.

WhatC'er of worth d nation hold shall this great war of worlds unfold !; To live today for self alone This time and hour shall not condonc. The strength of heroes long confined Hath risen ntightiy. Behind Gods weaker ones with latent power Have found themselves in this great

 prayer! In seeking them they found His
 throne. What myriad millions put to lest Showed talents rare, none would nave

If Senator Cham berlain as the prn- form is to hold his audience he will not pursue his complaint against the abuse by tho judge advocate generals office of the king privilege.
 The wrongs exposed in the admin istration Of what is called military justice are G1aring and defiant. They go to the very roots Of humanity and right. They ought to be easily ro1ne- died, but if they are to be confused they are bound to be lost to sight
 Free use of the mails to sustain the present system of courts martial is only minor offensc morally al mat ters go in Washington. Congressman and other officials are not limited as to printing or postage. Lawfully on most occasions. but Frequently unlaw- fully, they publish and circulate at public expense millions of documents in ther own or other private interests.
 As he has undertaken te correct the evils of arbitrary trials in the army but is yet far from success, Senator Cham berlain should be con- tent to pursue one reform at a time. Most of us believe that the practices Of the drumhead court can be chang ed A frightened congress abolished the franking privilege in 1873. but greedy successor soon restored it and it is today an official peTqulsite as firmly esta blished as the salary list

Tcrre HH11te, Ind. April 12.-Eu- gene V. Dcbs, under sentence for 'vio- latine the espionage law; said at his home here yesterday that he was getting ready to begin his sentence in federal prison. He declared he would not ask for one minutes delay or respite. and added:
 During my incarceration my comrades will be true and my enemies will be satisfied. And therefore, as far as am concerned. all is wei with the world. I make it an almost in variable rule to never deny or con- tradicc anything that appears about me in the press, no matter how false it may be. However, to ask for a pardon is to confess guilt"

 The ferrYDoat Sullivan was d little transport in itself, carrying nearly 100 returned heroes Of the 18th Yan- kee division. Fifty casuals of A, G and H com panies, and 34 casuals of E, 1 and K companies of the 102d infantry, guests of the city of New Britain. yelled themselves hoarse at the sight of their pals on board the Agamemnon.

of the k. of C., Order of Eagles, Loyal Order of. Moose and Spanish War Veterans, and mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers to greet those who were on board the transport. Mayor George A. Quigley of New Britain headed the dclega tion from this city, as did Mayor Sandland of Waterbury.
 Robert E. Overton of H company, from Water bury, a guest of that city, on board the Sullivan, recognized many of his pals on board the trans port.

Educational Awakening.
{ M eriden Record.

"A bulletin recently issued by Com n'lss1 s1oner of Education Caxton con- 'dihS the following summary of what soihe o1 the states are asking their legislatures to 10 for the betterm ent of educational conditions: |, Americunization of the foreign born, with English as the sole me- alum of instruction in the school G2 |states.)
 ,. The county as the unit of or sanization for schools @ states.)
 ,. More money from the states to help the schools of the local com munlties G3 states)
 4. Higher qualifications for county superintendents G StateS)
 ,. Continuation schools for persons between 12 and IS years of age C states.)
 6. Stronger compulsory education laws (S 5tatcsD
 :. Compulsory physical education laws (4 statcs)
 s, Higher salaries for teachers G states.)
 The list shows many sections Of the country waking up to the problems facing their own school systems. But the number of states seeking construc- tive lcgisIa ton along these various lines is very small. Almost every state in the Union should be making sal ary increases and raising qualifications for teachers and supcrintendcnts. However, these arc good begin nings. ThoN will be followed by more thorough and far-reaching measures as fast as individual citi- zens appreciate the need and add thelr influence to that of f0rva rd looking leaders.

WIRE CONTROL
 BOARD EXPLAINS
Western Union, With Big Service
 Field, Losing Money

Washington April Pin making available today figures upon which is based the increase in telegraph rates, the wire control board directs atton- ton to the fact that while tbe nricos of products and service of various in dustriaI and mercantile corno,,tion. have increased one hundred per cent telegraph service has been rendered Ut prc-War prices throughout a DC riod when industrial and business profits were unprecedented
 'The increase of twenty per cent in telegraph rates." says inc state mCnt. "ShOuld be considered in com pAriSOn with the one hundred per cent ircrcasC in other rrices. and it IS less than that found necessary t0 add to the railroad freight yatcs and Is no greater than has becn made generally in other public utiiity rates III order to obviatc financial coIlapSe. :"
 Discussing q comparison of the self "U~'H'nInG operations of the Postal company with the smaller proportior- ate earnings of the Western I-nion ,I'e statement declares that during the SIX months rom August, 1918 to January, 1919, tho Postal carried only about one-Hxth of the business oi the country. limited to profita ble fields, while the Western Union car rieo nNe-slxths of the business, much of which extended into fields less p'olI'aoie' but which gave a service necessary to maintain the reCuire- "tehts Of the public. During the same period the Postal carried only dDOul Onn-tN-pIftI1 Nf o"9lhesS, carried at approximately lorty Fer cent of the commercial rate r,'u cialmed .NN both companies to De loss of fIty per cent of inc oner- d'InS costs. In this connection. the '0ol says it is informed that in ~ "I'ions we're issued by officials of tue oS'al system to avoid government l'H9" whenever it couIl be done.
 Alter cltlng figures to show the t'loi nous cost m wages and material OcaSlOncd by the increased scone of operations of the Western Union and declaring that the purpose of the wire board is to make the lowest ratn that will maintain the service re- Quired by the country, the statement continues.
 In making a rate sufficient to main tain the telegraph service of the country discrimination could not be made between two companies per forming this service. The fact that the Postal company could continue to carry on business at the old rates and still earn it's compensation is of practically no significance in con- Structing fair schedule of rates for the country as q whole. Such rates must cover the cost of rendering service to all points, including just compensation for the property used The Postal system reaches onIys d fraction of the points at which tcle- graph service is rendered. and at the points which it does not reach if could not carry on half the business offered. Sound public policy dictates a sched u1e of rates which shall give all the people telegraph Scrvice."

WHO RULES AT AIRAKY3
When is 9 Republican majo nty not a ma jority? When it is in the New York epis1at ture at Alhany

When is Q Republican ma aJoNty not a majority? When it is in the New York Legislature at Albany.
 Starting out with robust majority the Republicans find themselves con- fronted by the defection from their ranks of four members of the Senate and while the party had sufficient strength at the beginning of the term, it is now runncr-uD and tho Demo crats have the lead
 For some time a storm haS been brewing in Republican ranks. The bosses were hcadstrong. They took the bit m their teeth and began to gal lop away. Progressive legislation was not permitted to come out of cOm- mittee rooms. Four insurgents be- came disgustcd with these tactics and allied themselves with the Democrat ic forces in order to obtain the pas sage Of laws that the people of the state, especially the women. demand ed. It is suspected that the object Of the old Guard in suppressng whole
 
 Smith, a Democrat. At present the Governor holds the winning hand and the four insurgents hold the whip. The breach might have been mcnded had the old Guard learned a lesson from an earlier uprising. But even the most aStute politicians sometimes are unable to get their ears to the ground and this time they failed to detect the tremors of the earth ndicat- ing popular support for the 1nves- tigation of the $50O,000 trolley fare slush fund. It was proposed to block the investigation until the four in surgents demanded immediate action. It is now a question whether the Re- publicans, the Democrats or the Fiery Four are in control

New Britain'S Good Luck.
Providence JournaD.

The other day the Journal referred editorially to the career of Darius Miller of New Britain. who began life as a farm boy and by industry and frugality accumulated a large es- tate. MT. Miller seemed 10 shut him. self off from most of the pleasures of life and find his chief satisfa CtiOn in the amassing of money, but now, as so often happens in cases of this sort, the public is going to benefit. His will leaves from half, a million to a million dollars, the residue of the estate, to the New Britain Gen eral hospital, s75.O00 to Walnut Hill park, $50, 900 to the city's library, and S285,00O to other public institutions.
 As the testator had no children, he naturally turned to the community in making his will: but if he had had sons and daughters to leave his money to, there would nevertheless have been enough with which to remem ber the city in which he accumulated it.
 How many times men of careful habits like this deny themselves all through their lives, to the ultimate advantage of the public? They have the pleasure of earning and saving, and the community profits through all the years to como It seems like a wise arrangement of far-5ecing Nature.
