USING OUR SHIPS.

Probably it is natural that a ques- tion should arise as to the course that should be pursued by this country in the use of it's merchant marine. The fact is that we haven't any very def- nite policy at the present time as to what we are going to do with our government owned ships, though it is probable that we shall some day de- eide to dispose of them at fair figures with the requirement. that they be maintained under the American flag.
 But in connection with the use of our ships there has arisen the ques- ton as to whether they should be used in carrying goods for other coun- tries. As we are equipped now, or will be when the construction activi- ties are completed, we have more ships than are needed to carry on the transportation business of this country and more than are needed to establish the new lines which are needed for the development of for eign trade. What are we going to do with the vessels that are left after such ~o-tos are filled with enough vessels? Are we going to let them remain idle2 Are we going to insist that they can carry no goods other than between this and another coun- try? Are we going to order that they cannot do business on routes of transportation companies which are no longer able to handle the business, between Great Britain and other countries, between France and other countries, between Italy and other countries or between Germany and other countries?
 These questions develop as the re- suit of the protest against putting government owned ships on the routes of the old Hamburg American line al time when we have ships to spare and when other countries are doing ol are anxious to do what it is desired to prevent this country from, doing Inasmuch as this business is going te
 be carried on and someone is going
 to do it 1t is a question of keeping
 out altogether or getting in while | there is chance.

he wondered that the president would have such a slovenly clerk until he was dumbfounded to find that he was in the presence of the president him. self.
 In the six years that remained to Monroe after retiring from the pres idency, he set himselm as an ex-pres- ident, a high standard of conduct. Having received the supreme honor at the hand of all the people, he felt that his name belonged to them and he refused to lend it to any candidate or party.
 UnhappilE' the country was not so scrupulous. in keeping it's obligations to him and neglected to pay a simple debt that it honestly owed. He had left the White. House with hardly a dollar and without a ribbon-with nothing to show for a life spent wholly in the service of the country, save the badge of an honorable pow .erty and the. Hessian bullet, which he carried in his shoulder through the half century since the battle of Trenton.
 Feeble and alone after the death of his wife. Monroe sold Oak HilL Ms Virginia farm, in the closing months of his life. With the feel ,ings of an exile, the last of the Vir- ginians left his native state to live with a son-in-law in New York City, where he died on July 4 1881, the third president to pass out on the birthday of the republic.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
As to Hot Cross Buns, Etc.

MT. Editor. Is Frank J. Wenisch a pagan? His letter to the Norwich Bulletin of March 21st, would lead one to suppose he was gentleman of culture and education. ss.
 But his oyerpowering ignorance of the very elementals of Christian be- lief infer that his education has not been on Christian lines-otherwise he would not be so distressing per- plexed, as to the origin of Hot Cross buns, Easter eggs, etc.
 Granted that the buns are a relic of olden timeS-the cross they bear points to something beyond the worship of a heather goddess.
 The egg has long been symbolical of the Resurrection. And what then is Lent, but the period of .penitential preparation. for the glorious Easter : tidc. following Good Friday, when the Saviour was crucifed for the reden1p- tion of the world. s If Mir. Wenisch desires Biblical en- dorsement of Good Friday, let hin l turn to the Gospels and read of tho 1 Crucifixion!
 To which church does he refer in his sneering contempt of "faller l church?" for, to refer to the keeping of Lent. of Good Friday and of East.
 CT as pagan relics" is so blasphem. ous and revolting'' to any Christian
 conscience, I feel constrained to sen, l these lines to. The Bulletin, whicl 1 published MT. W's letter in protes during Holy Week. c. s. D. New York, March 27, 1920.

methods by which he obtained it.
 The case is much different than many others where election frauds have been prosecuted. It is even dif- ferent than other cases involving members of congress- for even if it is found in the final decision that there was violation of a law that is con- stitutional it doesn't show corruption and it doesn't show any disposition to give aid and comfort to an enemy during a period when the nation was involved in war, and having obtained his seat there is not manifested that defiant attitude of holding onto 1t un- til thrown out.
 Matters which are. carried to the supreme court can. never be charged with exceeding the speed limit. It is to be hoped that there win be no greater delay than necessary but in the meantime it. is assured that the senator is not exercising uncertain rights.

HE KNEW NTUHIvELY

The dinner had been satisfactory and left Harpenter with feeling of content. He replaced his shoes with easy slippers, dragged out his smok- ing jacket and adjusted himself in the parlor easy chair with the air of one who sees an evening of peace and quiet ahead.
 Presently entered Mrs. Harpenter, frowning ever so slightly. aa

 "Hang!" said Charlie.
 Mrs. Harpenter shook her head re- provingly. Now, Charlie. you know she's important" 4e { q don't care how important she is -she's been at the bottom of most of my troubles for the last month. Look at that dinner set!"

NEwRERRYs DECISION.

That Senator Newberry on his re- turn to Washington annaunces that he will not attempt to resume his seat in the upper house of congress until questions as to his sta-Ts arising from his conviction will cause no sur prise. It is only what wss to be cx- pocted in view of the circumstances for while the case has been arpeal- cd there is no disposition to exercise right to which he may not be justly eRtitled.
 Even though he and others con- vieted with him feel that they have committed no crime, that there was no attempt to corrupt politics and that the expenditure of money was for legitimate purposes such as oth- CTS are spending money for every day in the year and without restriction, if ia only proper that he should refrain from the exercise of the duties to which he was elected until the mat ter has been finally decided. Thus when he says T shall net. resume my activities in the senate until all mat te-s growing out of the proceedings in Michigan are cleared up," he takes an honorable stand. There is no dis position to insist upon his seat while o,nEs is a question concerning the

LIMITING HIGHWAY USE.

There can be little or no surprise at that order fro-~ the state highway commissioner restricting the loads carried on the improved roads, other wise than the cement roads, to five tons. It was bound to come for the heavy trucking has been carried to such a point that new roads are quickly wrecked because they are put to uses for which they were never in tended. The investments in the ma cadam or even gravel roads are too great to have them nullified by un- reasonable use The upkeep of such roads is large with only the traffic they were expected to accommodate, and the limiting of loads thereon is only what towns and cities have been forced to do in safeguarding bridges against the similar eXorbitant loads for which the structures were never intended.
 When --~+~-- a-a eso ~ets to the point where 1t is wrecking one of the very things that make it possible it is time to call a halt. There are others who participate in highway taxes who are entitled to fair cons iteration for theil money. Motor trucks and vans car be expected to increase before goins in the opposite direction but they art getting to be as bothersome to othel traffic as the deaf driver of 8 load o hay.
 Whether the restrictions on thu loads will result in an increased de mand for permanent, or cement, high ways will develop in time. It is un questionable cheaper in the long rul to build the more costly road to star with. Its upkeep is practically noth ing and it outlasts the other typ, many times. But even with such can hardly be expected. that ever more solid cement roads are going t be built under the idea that truck equaling freight cars in size an weight can be driven over then There's limit even to good thing and 1t is service not for the few bu for the greater number that must ge consideration.

THE COAL AWARD.

Quite in Keeping with what the country expected as the result of the majority report of the coal commits sion is the acceptance of sthe award by the soft coal miners. It means that as the result of the preposter- ous demands they presented last year, the trouble they created by stopping work last winter and the defiance of the agreement to which they were a party they are going to get an in- crease in pay amounting to about S20O, ,00O,0 900. Of that amount there has already been in effect an increase of over 100000, ,00O known as the Gar field award, and it is to be appre- ciated that there was a disposition on the part of the operators to grant as much or more than that at the time the strike was called, or in other words to agree upon the adjustment of the dispute in accord with the facts submitted as has now been done. But for the unwillingness at first tc bring about reasonable iadjustmen' there would have been no cessation O the coal production at the very tint when the country was bound to be SC, riously injured thereby.
 The award which has been accept ed apportions the increase among tn different groups of mine workers. In asmuch as one increase has been il operation the new one effective tn
 first of April add about $e6,006,O00 t
 existing wages. There is no questio as to what the miners get. They con tinue to get the Garfield increase an
 the additional one sanctioned by tn
 coal commission.
 Under the Garfield award the in creased wages were borne by the op orators but what is interesting tn consumer today is whether that is go | ing to continue to fall on the opera | tors or whether that along with tn new increase will now be shunte
 over onto the users of pituminou
 coal. That is one thing the joint cor ference has not disclosed but there
 no reason to expect that the opera
 tors will bear the burden any longt than they have to.

PUTTING Ir UP TO PREsIpENr.

However the president may feel that the responsibility for the defeat of the treaty lies in other directions, he cannot help feeling. as the result Ui the petition that has been present. ei to him, that there are those whose opinions are worth considering who believe that he has had a significant part therein and that it lies within his power to do much that will bring about the approval of the treaty even at this late date.
 Vrat the outcome will be of the petition that has been presented to President Wilson by men of national prominence cannot be foretold. He may give no more consideration to it than he has given to the fact that certain of that number have hereto fore been ''T--7o7 ting the course that he refused to follow, but it is impos- sible to overlook the fact that the memorial is addressed to him at a time when the senate has refused tc ratify the treaty without any cbanges. when it has refused to ratify it with such reservations as he would have been willing to accept and wher it has narrowly refrained from rati- lying such reservatons as the ma jority have declared necessary be- cause of the influence he has exertet over his party members in that body
 It is perfectly evident therefore tha there is good reason in the appea that is directed to him, regardless O whatever efforts are made to interes the senate along the same line late On. The real obstacle to the treat, lies in the one who has directed al efforts in connection with it.
 There Is a recognized need for tn, treaty. The friends of the league O nations are likewi~o desirous that w should give our influence to that. be lieving that agreement can be reach ed on most points and others can b cleared up later on. But the need o ending the war is of unquestione Importance, and even if endorsement seems to be given to the effort to SC cure ratification with reser 7ations remains to be seen whether the pres ident will still continue to insist upo lts own way against the opinions ( many others, who in this instanc cannot be charged with belng actu Rted by political motives.

be interesting though grewsome. Twenty six murderers in Sing Sing when. questioned voted unanimously against it. But there is one thing worse. That is solitary confinement. One of them said he would rather walk to the chair and be burned than stay in solitary for life. Apparently solitary confinement for life had been suggested as an alternative to the death penalty. What every prisoner sentenced to death wants, the dis patch from Ossining says, is a sen tence of from 20 years to life in prison with the chance of shortening of a sentence by good behaviour. Then a murderer who Is willing to behave might have his sentence of 20 years reduced to 15 and get out with something of life left. That would be

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

Lord Curzon put his finger on the real point when he said that the treaty of peace with. Turkey should have been taken up a year ago. The limits of the Turkish empire should be speedily fixed. Lord Curzon pointed out one of the difficult ties in determining the lot of Cilicia, that only about one third of her pop ulation was Armenian. That, we think, is quite sufficient ground for removing Cilicia from the Turkish empire, though it is not of course ground for giving it to the Ar menians. It had been expected that France would take over the man date and failing France, America. But if neither of these powers is willing, then the League of Nations cannot avoid the responsibility.
 Fortunes and FIeece-The late How ard Morley's 3,ooO,ooO pound will re- mind us that fortunes were made out of wool and cotton long before the great war.

 English and Foreign-It is a public service Henry Elves, F. R. S., renders in drawing attention to the neglect of home grown timber. He attributes the neglect in part to the ignorance of achitect and builder, and chiefly to the fact that they can get out a cheaper article from abroad. For for

OTHER VIEW POINTS

One deterrent to ordering next winters coal this summer, as we are urged to do, is that most tenants are uncertain as to whether or not they will be in their present quarters next winter. The desire to find cheaper rents and the constant possibility that landlords will want their apartments ito rent to somebody else at @ high CT rate-leave tenants very unsettled in their minds over where they will be next winter Relief in the housing situation will be a considerable factor in stabilizing the coal market=Wa- terbury Republican.
