DIRECT ACTION.

A butcher who sold bad meat in trate McAdoo in New York the other day, was tied in front of his shop with a piece of the meat fastened under lis nose. It is safe to say that the pun severe as the day advanced-particu larly if tho day were extremely hot. Swindling bakers, said the same eml- nent authority, were fastened in irony of their places of business and nails were driven through their ears.
 The method of direct action cited by Judge McAdoo is disgusting and typically Turkish It becomes an in teresting game to determine upon fit ting punishment, after this means Of the various tradesmen and profess sional people who are guilty of wrong practices. What should be done 10 the seamstress who ruins a perfectly good piece of silk by cutting the neck of d beautifully conceived gown too low in the back? Should she be com- pelled to wear it shopping on a bright ternoon-unless, of course, the quality of said neck were such as to make the wearing of it a delight, not penance? Should the diet of the lawyer who loses a case through his own eloquence consist of the eat ing of his own words? Innum erable suggestions along this line would brighten many a dreary hour
 But Chief Justice McAdoo struck a sympathetic note when he referred to landlords of cold apartments. The Turkish system, he said, brought up to date, would compel them to enter and remain in cold storage Fortu- nate is New Britain to know little of this class of cruel humans.

CHEAP MEAT \ SUCCESS.

Housewives should be interested in the reported success of the Save Money on Meat Campaign Perhaps the ost important fact is that the consumers saved considerable money by a purchase of cheaper cuts, with reported discomfort. Enthusiasm and reports indicate that retail ard wholesale dealers co-operated with a plan.
 The prices suggested. with the ac- York Fair Price Commissioner may be indicated by the price for beef for corned beef, twelve to twenty cents: liver, eighteen cents, and sausage. thirty cents
 The government had no intention to limit the campaign to a week nor to refuse to allow people in states other than the nine in which it was tried to follow the same plan. It is sug- tempt to see what a trial of the cheap CT cuts of meat would do in New results which obtained elsewhere.

Sedness of method still obtains in the East, so often sneered at as effete by our more primitive western citizens.
 Interesting, also, is, the contempla- ton of this mode of getting at d heckler. It is easy to see that the candidate on the platform is at a SC . riouS disadvantage when a heckler m the middle on the outskirts of 6 crowd asperses his veracity. The ir- terVening audience makes it inadvis- able to attempt to reach the offendvr in person. ProjectileS are clearly in- dlcated and the mayor of New Britain is to be congratulated upon having chosen the right method so instan- taneouSly. We suggest that in the future he have about him lot of as sorted law books, weighty things as everybody knows, or perhaps a few dozen of baseballs. Then he will ne prepared to punctuate his impas S. stoned periods as the eXigencies of argument may make necessary If be will do this, and let it be known, he will be assured of large audiences, and those of us so unfortunate as not to live in New Britain will be hopeful of continued entertainment in the New Britain press dispatches.

EN-KAISER AND JUNKERS.

A correspondent of the Paris Journal who has been investisatins conditions surrounding the intelnm ent in Holland of the former kaiser and crown prince charges that they are in contact with the faithful iunkers in Germany and with the Ebert Repub- licanS. He further suggests that it is quite possible the former kaiser has had hand in recent developments in Germany. He draws the conclusion, after -uch invest igation, that William may so1n return to G rmany with the consent of stable German govern. mcnt.

POLAND ASKS CREDIT ONLY,

There is much that resembles the position of the United States in Poland's feeling toward the countries to her east which she has occupied, if Stanislas J. Arct's statement repre- sents that feeling accurately The member of the Polish Food Ministry asserts that his country has no idea of seeking to annex any of these lands, but deems it a duty to aid them with supplies at this time. To this end Poland wants liberal and continued financial and commercial support from the United States. He declares that if this is forthcomine his country will become one of the largest exporting nations in Europe within the next two years.
 The occupation of these countries is conceived to be necessary to block the threatened invasion of the Bol- sheviki, and the blocking of this movement by Poland is of the greatest importance to all Europe. The latest news shows Poland's army holding firm along a 600 kilometer front in the face of a drive, long planned, which was designed to break the hold of the Poles upon the entire front.

Debate in New Britain.

standing in the SHOW is going to be a cold proposition for Mayor Quigley when he speaks at the fac tories," prophesied the New Britain Herald in it's edition of last Saturday. But was it? No. On the contrary, an exceedingly hot time was enjoyed by all at d factory rally Monday, with the mayor d tritic warmer than any body else Indeed, he got so warm, especially in the region of the collar, that he fired a huge copy of the muni- ciral record .i,t a heckler who had applied the short and ugly word TO His Honor. The tome went true to the mark. since despite the offenders effort to dodge. it struck him, on the shoulder. The interest of the occa- sion was trie marred. however, by the fact that the volume was not re- turned in the same way that it was sent.
 There is matter for interesting speculation here. It is to be noted that the word that brought about the artillery discharge is still lighting word in New Britain. Politics else where may have accepted violent Nituperation as part of the game. something to be taken in Pickwicll- ian sense But in New Britain they are still elemental; the candidate thus asSailed scrupIcS not to use the first Drojectilc that comes to hand a count er-argun1 ent.
