sion of the revenuee bill, furnishes

quired of employers.
The bill provides that whenever

err the recipient of the income is

that the advantages afforded by its
geographic separation should be
made the most of.
Washington's warnings in his fare
we'll address were largely prompted
by the fear that by any future ALI
ance the fruits of the Revolution
might after all be lost We must not
forget that the republic was an eX-
periment-an experiment which up to
that time had been failure, and was
a form of government looked upon
not with envy but disrespect. Other
statesmen OF ours at that time had
this same anxiety for the pernlanence
Of our nations liberty, and expressed
il by their addresses, which we used
10 read and recite in school. This is
all different now, and our nation
stands as the peer among the nations,
an accomplished success-a success
to be honored and initiated, and to
its policies and statesmen the other
nations are giving generous heed.
So far from flirting with royalty
"a very tr;iing innuendO-royalty is
giving homage, and in reality is doff-
ing it's crowns to democracy.
If the League of Nations makes the
Monroe doctrine ineffective it will be
because it has made it unnecessary.
1t is to be deprecated that some
few politicians are striving to make
this league a party issue, as if it was
an invention of Mr.. Wilson. Being
at this time a president of the
United States. we might be proud il
it was an invention of his. 1t is hard
to believe that these men are sincere
in the belief that the league is a
Wilson innovation when we know
that the league-some league-must
come and that if we DO not assume
an active part in it's formation it
will he so much the worse for US and
also for the rest of the world.
More might be said.

has q. right to his own opinion in
regard TO a public question, but in
order that his opinion shall influence
others he must remember that his
argument should carry weight If it
be a national matter, the logic of ar
gument embraced within a narrow
provincial scope is not applicable nor
effective. Neither will a strictly ma
tional view in all points tally with
the still broader International ques-
tion-if the discussion involves this
wider view. 1t is also fundamental
that an argument deduced from ex-
amples must be taken from coincid-
ing circumstances, and not from his
toric periods that present conditions
adverse to each other. This is the
weakness of the letter we criticize
and such logic if it carries weight
at all, it is only in minds not argu-
mentative, but of the same calibre
as that wherein the logic originates
There is therefore little coincidence
between what the Father of our
country said at d time when it was
just emerging into national existence

STATES TUBERCULOSIS WORK

In connection with the biennial re-
port of the tuberculosis commission of
the state made TO the governor this
probation of the meaning of that part
Of the statement where reference is
made to the accomplishments in the
Fast two years. which declares that
the long waiting list of patients has
disappeared.
Great work has been accomplished
by this state in the fighting of the
white plague. 1t was taken up none
too soon and even during the early
efforts it was made painfully evident
that the demand for the assistance
afforded was greater than could be
accommodated. In view of the hold
that the disease had obtained and the
lack of effort TO restrain it, such
could hardly be regarded as surpris-
ing. but it is certainly gratifying that
the expenditures which have been
made have been so directed that they
have resulted in providing accommo-
dations for those who are seeking the
benefits offered and thereby Offering a
greater safeguard to the health of the
commonwealth.
This does not mean that the fight
against tuberculosis has been carried
TO such point that there can be any
IelaXa ton, but it does point ont that
the needs have been very thoroughly
analyzed and there has been q proper
concentration of efforts to meet
them. With the sanatoria able to
take care Of the patients seeking adj
mission progress Of a most satisfac-
tory character is being made. and II
is quite evident that the work which
is being so well carried on should be
given every possible encouragement
and support. Connecticut has reason
to feel proud of its accomplishments
in this direction ard the commission
which has the work in charge.

What Has Become of the Electrical
Expert?

Mr.. Editorials cur gas and cleo
trio commission ditched it's electrical
expert Mr. Ten Per Cent Mole (ac-
cent on the "e'D, or is he working for
nothing?
1 have just run across the printed
minutes of the common council meet
ing Of Feb. and am struck with the
absence of MI. Mole's name from the
financial report of the G. and f. de-
Lartment. Always before for many
months, Mir. Mole's name has been an
unfailing incident of the report, and
always nestled snugly up against sun
dry payments of LEGO. $4,000, or some
other amount satisfying to Mr.. Mole.
OF course that represented the ten
Fer cent.
Now his name disappears from the
February report and | am well in
formed that it is also missing from
the March report that WAS presented
TO the common council last Monday
night
Are we TO conclude that nothing has
been paid Mr. Mole for two months ?
Or are we to come to the conclu-
sion that tho G. &, E. has purged it
self of the ten per cent. expert? If
they have. why haven't they been
proud to tell the citizens Of their re-
turn to reason?
If they have paid Mr.. Mole any
thing, why does it not appear as it
did before?
Why have they considered it neces-
sStry to change their method of max
ing their monthly reports as far as
Mr.. Mole is concerned?
We had a ten per cent. electrical
expert wished onto us without cur
| knowledge. Have we also acquired Il
| bookkeeping expert? And il so, what
| is his rakeoff?

NO IMMIGRATION BAN.

Quite strong effort has been made,
since the ending Of the fighting across

greatly curtail the immigration for
the next four years. The idea was to
prevent a lot Of those in European

get away from the conditions which
confront them there from coming to
these shores in swa1ns when they are
going to be needed at home to help

in which, he said, they welcomed him
home. He said:
I'm face Of the present urgent busi-
ness that is now occupying all Of my
time possible and which called me to
Europe many times and the present
sad condition of my family, having
lost the flower OF my life, my daugh-
ter, while in Italy, and on returning
home to find my wife a physical wreck
and only before coming to this meet
ing l received word from my sister in
Boston that my father is expected to
live only short while longer. I could
not but help visiting this meeting to-
night to renew old acquaintances OF
friendship and brotherhood as q
whole"
