Pink NCCkticS and Strong Drink
(Waterbury Republican,

w dlSlDuIN IkepuDllCan)
 Rev. James Empringham. metro pOlitaE superintendent of the Anti Saloon league in New York city, has discovered a iaison between pink neckti2s and strong drink In the course of the investiga gatiCns that his position requires that he make he has had occasion to ente~ inc saloon there to purchase ginger pop and be a friend to man. But, he says, "fet- tered by his conventional collar what chance has a clergyman of tapping the fountains of information that ceaselessly flow in a saloon? A pink tie admits a man to the bar. Under the protection of the pink tie I saun- ter through the double swinging doors and ask for a glass of ginger ale or birch as a preliminary to mixing with the Ooys but new I no longer get tho innOcuOuS beverage for which l caJ] The white aprOned artist now con strues my innocent request for gin ger ala or birch as euphonious ca mouf1aGe for something more potent" An, Doctor, what a telling of tales is this? Having discovered the free masonry of the pink craVatted, hav- ing been accepted at the bar as one of the boys, what right nave you to come away compla ining that the in telligent barkepper, slIillfuliy adapt ing himself to the times, should dis pense your dark brew or a jolt of rye when you ask for ginger beer? If you will wear the pink tie of the initiate you must also expect the barkeeper to think you are speaking the language of the initiate. Times change and words change with them. Ginger beer now has other meanings than aforetime. Stick to the cleri- cal collar and the soda fountain, Doctor, or tipple without remark the ginger beer that the barkeeper gives you.

WELCOME TO BILLY kOPF.

New Britain's fandom is to show it's regards to one Billy Kopf, shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, who are in d fair way to become champions of the baseball world, when he returns to this city after the series. It may be Home eburgh stuff," the fans will prob ably admit it, but there is seldom & city of several times the size of New 4 Britain whose spOrtsmen do not ac- cord a royal reception to their return ing warriors of the diamond. And lo- cal followers of the game will grant in one loud voice that Bill is deserving of a generous amount of applause when he comes back.
 There is another baseball player in the kopf family in the person of Miss Kopf, who has performed with credit upon one of the local factory teams during the past year. We do not know the young lady personally and cannot say whether she is at present em- ployed in the factory or going to school, but we can tell you what she does after 3 o'clock every afternoon. About that time her face appears in the crowd across the street from The Herald office, which is listening to the returns, and it is there until the final score is announced by the megaphOne man. Her presence would be missed should it be ;'ithdraWn for any rea- son.
 Among the crowd one who knows may pick out many other friends and relatives of the player, all interested in his personal career a3 much as they are in the final result of the game. All of these should lend a hand to make the players reception one never to be forgotten. Home eburgh will be glad to see Bill back and will show him so.

WONDERLAND.

sweet eyes by sorrow still unWet, To you the world is radiant yet, A palace-hall of splendid truth Where hopes and joys are ever rife Amid the mystery of life. And seeking all to understand The world to you is Wonderland I turn and watch with unshed tears The furroWed track of ended years; I see the eager hopes that wane. The joys that die in deathless pain, The coward Faith that fa1sehoods
 shake. The souls that faint, the hearts that
 break The Truth by 1ivid lips bemoaned, The Right Gefiled, the Wrong en-
 throned-- And, striving still to understand, The world to me is Wonderland A little time, then by and by The puzzled thought itself shall die. When, like the throb of distant
 drumr, The call inevitable comes To blurring brain and weary limb, And fast the gathering shadows
 creep
 To Hull the drowsy sense asleep, We two shall slumber hand in hand To wake, perhaps, in Wonderland

Health Hints For the President
{ Meriden JOurnaD


 The Hartford Courant in analvzing the causes of President Wilson's ill., ness, states, with serene assurance of ordinary:
 The general belief is that the breakdown came as the result of the final conviction that the trip has been a failure. Had MT. Wilson only been a careful reader of the Courant he would have foreseen the result It is just what we told him would fol- low"
 There we have it. If the Courant had been a part of the presidents daily diet, he would be hale and hearty today. In that event. it is possible, however, that he might suffer from a variety of mental indi- gestion even more distressing than the ailment which is troubling him at present
 As for the COurant's hint that Pres ident Wilson is convinced of the fail ure of his trip, we must weigh that statement for what 1t is worth. There must be something of the omnipotent about neWSpa per which is able to read the mind of the chief executive and state it's discoveries with such conviction. That there is a large percentage of Well-balanced, thinking persons in the United States who are equally certain that the treaty will be ratified and the league adopted. and who believe that the presidents S trip resulted in swinging sentim ent in his direction, need ot bother the Cour- ant in the least. It gazes out upon the world through darkened specta- cles, and hence cannot be blamed for it's failure to perceive the light
 But the sOlicitude which the Cour- ant displays for the presidents well fare is touching, to say the least Its health tips may have escaped the notice of the nations chief, but that is certainly not the fault of Con- necticuts oldest newspaper. For whatever the Courant may lack in saneness of viewpoint and temper ance of statement, it certainly does not lack for nerve.

The Treaty of Peace Debate. (NaW Haven JOurnal-COurier)

Senator Borah in an interview states agreeably his view of the form the debate on the treaty of peace should take now that Mr. Wilson is incapacitated to go on with his part of the program. He says: "Tempta- tion to make the president more or less the issue has too often led the debate away from the merits of the treaty and the league covenant. It will be a good thing to have it brought gack to the plain question of whether the document before us is a good or bad thing for this country We will be the stronger in our OppO- sition if we can keep the debate on that sole issue, and l will be glad to. see it held there.'
 The friends and supporters of both MT. Wilson and the senate opposl tion to the treaty profoundly re- gretted the lew to which the con- troversv was sinking at the time of his breakdown. We shall not stop to identify the beginning of the cam paign of invective. It is suf1lclent to note that having once entered upon it, it naturally spread until the danger arose of a popular cry being made of a "plague upon both your houses.' V No one could have foresen just what the effect of this would have been upon our foreign relations mad It been indefinitely continued. That 1t won,d have shocked the world is evi- dent: that it might have undone all that ue accomplished with our army and navy is conceivable. That it is now entirely out of order is clear to all. Not only the sympathy which the nreeident deserves from all, but good sportsmanship demands that he be left out of the debate and the doc-

Three #ations were to have ratified before #elations between the countries went Nack to peace time basis.
