could as well as l could"
Naturally, 1 was not entirely sue
cessful because the task was so vast
and at the same time so complex. j
was obliged to act as l did because IL
! had not sacrificed some of Frances
particular interests for the common
good, IT would have been impossible
to conclude any kind of peace.
After the signing of the armistice
the people fancied that peacemaking
would be very easy and gloriohs
task. but instead IL turned out to be
most difficult one because of the
various national claims and the finsn-
cial and economic differences among
the allies, such as the variation be-
tween the French and the Anglo
American views regarding the IN
demnity to be paid by Germany. The
total OF seventy-five billions or

HIGHWAY SAFETY.

On several occasions efforts have been made in New York to bring about great safety in the highway by punishing the offenders through the removal of their licenses. The plea that there is tre- mendous amount of work connected with the licensing of machines and operators parent that more effective protection to human life in the highways is a matter that calls for more than passing atten- tion. If there is provided every reason able method of insuring such attention should be centered upon the enforcement of the laws, but if there are not ade- quate laws for dealing with the large loss of lives and the many accidents bet ter legislation can reasonably be urged
 In view of the large number of deaths and injuries in New York state from au- tomobiles in the course of a year it does not indicate that proper regard for hu- man life is taken when but Al licenses were revoked or suspended in that state last year. If the claim is true that three convictions are required before a law is certainly necessary.
 OH lIle OlIltf ndHI IL OOSS nut HOlu that the practice of suspending and re- voking licenses will furnish the entire solution. In this state last year there were 17oo who lost thelr licenses. tenn porarily or permanently and ye+ Con- necticut has the unenviable reputation for automobile fatalities in proportion to population.
 It is not to be overlooked however that the liability of the loss of the right to drive an automobile unless proper
 care is used in connection herewith is bound to have it's good effect uprn many drivers who might otherwise be inclined to give way to carelessness OF reckless
 ness. The state that does not add to tht highway safety by such a method is la2 | in dealing with the big problem ant
 should hasten to increase the protection
 to human life through such plan oi
 take immediate steps to ge. something
 better, or more effective.

PROBLEMS WHICH FACE THE COUNTRY

 ployers should remember that the eur tailment of production in order to force wages down and sustain prices will in- evitably react as a boomerang. Their eventual loss will more than offset their immediate gain. General prosperity Is the best antidote for industrial unrest and dangerous radical tendencies.
 Labor, too, must bear in mind that it has far more to lose by curtailing out put, on the false theory that decreased production per man creates more jobs. It should realize that the best way to sus- tain wage levels is to give a fair day's effort for fair days wage.

TIE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

At the state convention of the demo- cratic delegates for the nomination of a state ticket there appeared to be a desire on their part to nominate certain of the well known war horses, but those same individuals were unwilling to accept the burden of campaign work, knowing full well that there was no chance of being elected There was apparently much disappointment over the fact that Homer s. Cummings and David Fitzgerald would not permit the use of their names regardless of what they owe to the par ty l. is not therefore surprising that such an attitude on the part of the leaders should act as a wet blanket up on the convention. When those who are believed 10 stand the best show refuse 10 take the bits 1t doesn't put much en- thusiasm into the democratic ranks and it doesn't offer any encouragement. It stamps the whole contest as a forlorn nope from a democratic standpoint.
 Inability to get any other to- run against Senator Brandegee, Augustine L.onergan was put forward though he was desirous of seeking the governor ship. Mir. Lonergan has represented this
 
 which service the democratic New Ha- zen Journal-C Courier says: MT. Loner- gan, whS will enter the contest against Mir Brandegee, has not been brilliant member of the federal house of repre- sentatives but he has been faithful ir his attendance and earnest in his desire 70 represent the first district"
 Similarly the choice of Rollir U. Ty Ter who formerly ran for lieutenant governor, as nominee for governor cant as a surprise inasmuch as he had no been considered. The other places or the ticket were filled with a view to sat isfying the demands of different sec tions of the state.
 Just how much the convention result will appeal to the party member throughout the state remains to be seen but it bids fair to get about the sam surprised reception that the delegate themselves seemed to have given to tn emrgncy slat

NOT AN ACCIDENT.

From such investigations as have been made and from such expert opinions as have been expressed the possibility of the explosion in New York being an ac- cident seems to be clearly eliminated. The locality, the time and the character of the explosion all point strongly to the belief that it was the result of care fully arranged plot having for its pur- pose death and destruction from which those who seem to have done the work tn all probability escaped.
 What will develop from the warning that was sent to the French commission designating the day but incorrectly fix ng the hour of the explosion is rather uncertain It is impossible to overlook the fact that Fisher, the writer of the note, must have had some sort of in- formation regarding the plot, the day if was set for. the approximate locality and the severity of the shock that could be expected. Apparently Fisher is in a position 10 throw much light upon the prelirninaries to the affair if he can be made to. Whatever may be his mental weakness he was able to go through the mental process of recognizing the inn portance of safeguarding his friends and acting upon it. It seems hardly possible that his note of warning could have been only 8 coincidence.
 That the internal machine did not dc greater harm to property and end more lives was no fault of the perpetrators of the crime. They had staged it when and where it was expected to reap the greatest toll and get the greatest at tention. It discloses conditions which well may arouse all authorities in run ming down all who may in any way have been connected with it.
 It indicates a defiance of law, order and government that cannot be permit ted to go unrecognized. There is need not only of finding out the full meaning of it but of taking every possible step tc punish the guilty and reduce to mini mum the chances of any repetition ir the future

TAXING Jon HOLDERS.

While the leaders on the democratic ticket are going about the country spreading reports about the enormous campaign funds that the republicans are raising, and throwing Up their hands in agony at the methods that are being employed, without taking the trouble to even approach the giving of proof of their correctness, it is to be noted that they are carefully avoiding any reference to the way in which those who are raising money for their own campaign are resorting 10 the practice of assessing democratic ofaceholders in cluding women for fuads.
 It is reasonable to suppose that office holders who owe their jobs to the party n power will do the right thing and come forward with contributions. That is to be expected but it is bad business when the party managers tel such de- pendents that they must come up with their dollars and state what their as- sessment is.
 That this is Icing done was brought out before the senate investigation committee when women employed in the office of the revenue collector in South Dakota were taxed $40 apiece which some of them paid in lump sum, others on installments and some by post-dated checks.
 They are of course all democrats, so that due allowance must be made when one of them admitted that they paid the assessment gladly and did not fear that they would lose their jobs if they did not
 There is no wonder that democratic member of the senatorial committed voiced his opposition to such practice It indicates that according to the party methods of getting campaign funds that not only are all who get office under a democratic administration expected te shell out but they must expect to pay what those who get the real pIums con slider necessary. Holding jobs or of fees under those conditions is not wha' can be considered as contributing to thu efficiency of our government in it's many departments. It is a hold-up game tha
 was supposed to be abandoned year, ago.

Vision and Service.

Where there is no vision the people perish. Prov. 29: 1-3. I was not dis obedient to the heavenly vision. Acts 26: 1a. There can be no service without vision. and no real vision without service. The incentive for doing comes from see- ing. No time in life is quite so valuable
 as that in which vision comes The practical is not to be despised. It is necessary. But it is not all.
 We smile sometimes at young peor T
 aspirations and call them air castles. Perhaps they are. but they are not to be scoffed at For out of them come ideals and dreams which lead human nature up- wards towards heights whereon may be built grand and lofty life structures Our lives are to be patterned after the visions We see.
 Saul had a vision. From that day he became Paul, and his was a changed and most successful life. After the vision of the Saviour his soul was awakened to the i, possibilities of a life lived for Christ This was the secret of his success in the mightiest work for the Lord and the world that has been accomplished by any 1 except our Saviour. He, too was follow l ing vision. It was of a redeemed world Another reason why vision is so impor- l tant is because vision. with the faith which grows out of it, gives purpose. Fur | pose is the outreach of life, just as faith
 is it's upreach. This is why purposeless | life is predoomed to failure. It does not 1 go for anything It has no aim. It is a 1 ship masterless or rudderless. Even in
 nature nothing is purposeless. Each plant. each tree could say This one thing I | do" It puts its whole strength into i bringing about a certain result. And if
 beset by enemies, attacked by worms or 1 drought it only redoubles it's effort to bring about the desired result
 Plan victories. Plan them always, never plan anything else but victories. l Encourage vision and faith and the promptings of purpose. Don't drift Don't | do the easy thing. Don't let yourself go
 With circumstances. Many a life goes to wreck and ruin because like ship with uGt pilot no guiding purpose directs it. | We all have our visions. This privilege
 is not one that came to Paul alone or | to Moses alone. Paul began at once to l sollcw his vision, and he continued to l fclit'w it to the end of his days And
 we know where it led him. He is by
 common consent called the Great Apostle for te labored more abundantly than
 they all Our visions are given to draw
 lis 1p and to higher life They are glin'pSes of the heavenly life, granted to
 show us what we ought to be. They are intimations of the possibilities of attain

THE FRENCH PRESIDENCY.

By the resignation of President Des- chanel France is faced with the neces- sity of getting a new president. III health which has nearly resul\ in the death of the president twice within the past few months has necessitated the action taken. He is not in condition to look after the duties of his office and the res- ignation comes in fulflment of expecta. tious.
 Contrary to the arrangement in this country France has no vice president ready to step into the office of president in case of. death or resignation. It makes it necessary for a new choice at once, The responsibility of selecting a new president rests with the national assem- ply from which President Deschanel, who was elected last January received the largest majority in many years. His health from the start has been a handi- cap to him in the office, but instead of improving 1t has continued to grow worse.
 France has been anticipating the nee essity of naming another president for some littlS time Thus far there does not appear to have been any mention of a candidate or any agreement among the members of the national assembly that would indicate Deschaners success sor. Ex-President Poincare has been sounded upon the possibility of taking the ofice again but has positively de. clined and Millerand has indicated that he does not want it.
