toward taking from them some of their tragic features.
THE COURANTS VIEW.

The Hartford Courant (rep) takes us to task for an editorial defining. or attempting to define, moral obliga- tions'', in a recent issue of the Her aid. We expressed surprise that part of the Senate was talking of moral obligations" now, when it refused to recognize any moral obligations at the time the President was in Europe ana would not back him in support of a League when he returned. The Cour- ant points out that the Senate served notice that it would not agree with even before he made any agree ment. The point is we'll taken, him. and we admit that the writer was ignorant Of the fact He hap pened to be abroad at the time and not in too close touch with United ance. He is fully aware that opposi- ton has developed since. however.
 The argument therefore hinges up- on the definition of moral obliga- tions", whether the Courant differs with us or not It seems to be a Do litical matter. this obligation. and capable of any definition. There is one thing certain, we should have sent a spokesman with some backing to the League council. How he was to be chosen again becomes a matter of politics. We could not send the Sem ate, we could not elect and choose a man without the same argument aris- ing. Where are we? No one knows But we ought to join that League. Our moral obligation to keep faith with the world, with the forty-five other nations that have signed up. de- mands it.

"woMEN STAND roGETHER-

Some of the newly made voters have suggested the slogan Women stand Together"
 If this Is to be interpreted that all women should stand together" and vote according to their consciencos. the basis of the cry is, of course. sound.
 If however. 1t is taken to mean that women should get together and decide what Is best for women alone and then vote in accordance with that decision. the slogan Is about as con trnry to our traditions and contrary to what Is right as Il slogan could be.
 There arc lot of things abou which women know more than men, and it would he well for them to formulate policies on such points and stand together" upon those matters. But if. as general rule. women should band together and vote selfish iy. there would be nothing left for men to do but stand together and consider their own interests in matters dieided by the ballot This they could never do.
 Men arc much criticized by women Some say certain things would not be as they arc if women had had the vote. Probably true. But 1t will take n very little time for women to learn the difficulties involved in putting all the laws on the statute books that should be there. and the difficulty in interpreting those laws Too much Legislation, as too much talk. is as bad as too little of either. in matters such as these. And it is believed that mon have taken pretty good care of women in the laws they have made. At least they have tried to within the limitations of the male mind.
 Women are now placed on an equality with men in the suffrage The first thing for them to remember Is that the laws to be passed are to apply to the whole country, the country's business and industries and all the individuals in the country. men and women. They must try to consider mans interests as men have tried to consider woman's. They must and undoubtedly will assume a broad ness of vision and comprehension. now attributed more generally and perhaps erroneously, to men.

sDow RETURNS EXPECTED.

Election officials all over the country express the opinion that the heavy vote by women will delay compiling returns. This is noted not as an argu- ment against woman suffrage, of course. but to prepare interested per- sons beforehand not to expect definite results to be announced as early as usual
 There will undoubtedly be a greater amount of splitting the ticket" this year than nNever before. Men have difn- culty often in doing this. but women. unfamiliar with voting. will have even greater trouble.
 While every step is being taken by quasi-public servants such as the press, to receive and announce the re- turns as rapidly as possible. these facts will probably cause a great deal of complaint and much uncertainty until an hour much later than usual.
 It Is to be hoped that tomorrow evening and night will be warm and pleasant.

The editorial in these columns was written before receipt of the aibcvf article from the Associated Press The writer was therefore naturally ln ignorance of the comment. The Woro was used in the singular both in Sen ator Harding's letter and in President Wilson's, as published in former A. P. dispatches. The Associated Press in the passage above quoted. does moi say that the use of the singular Was an error by it. Tho dispatch merely explains that Senator Harding repuda. ated it's use. @~
 It is believed that an independent paper has the privilege of making Ad- verse or favorable comment upon any candidate for office. fs5
 Also it must be obvious to you thai independence does not mean that this newspaper must refrain from voicing its opinion on matters being discussed and of interest to the United States. We have left no doubt, in our editorial columns, that we are for the League of Nations. If faYpring the League stamps us, to your mind. as beipS ! democratic we cheerfuAy admit thai we are.-Ed.

"JEST RUNfINATTN'."
tRobert Russell)

The votes are mostly ready now an soon we'll know the worst; we dare predict that Harding or that Cox will come in first. We dare predict thereh be a League: my pipe says there's no doubt the thing we get will he the one we've talked n lot about. It may be clad in diff'rent garb, may bear a diff'rent name, but it will be the sort O League we've heard of. jest the same. About next week we'll settle down to talk about our town an our affairs; perhaps your wife will have to have a gown; perhaps your children need new shoes. your self a winter hat: we'll go in family conference an talk O things like that. My -rumi- natin' pipe knows we'll that questions O the times affect our country's welfare an our nickcls an our dimes. Our country's got to take her place in world affairs. O course. no matter if we drives a car or rides behind horse. But there's a League that every man must cherish an protect; we must defend that League O Home from danger an neglect.

PRUsSTAN HYMN OF HATE.

Apropos of the great question of the times 1t Is worth while reproduc- ing the "Prussian Hymn Of Hate" which German nobIeman has written and which is printed in an organ of the Junkers with apparent giee. A translation run thus:
 There comes a day
 A Prussian may.
 You cannot take
 4 people like the Prussian
 folk and break
 Them in two.
 It's at the gate
 The happy golden time of
 Prussia's hate.
 And vengeance. too.
 It would he we'll for those who consider that things in the world will go on as they did before the war; when Europe interested us very little, to read this little Hymn of Hate. And while reading it re- member that in the heart of every German. whether he is conscious ot it or not. there is that pride fin his nationality that prevents his conceiv. Ing of n conquered Germany.
 IL cannot be reiterated too many times that the United States has passed from it's seciusion and ha, entered the arena of world affairs No statesman or no party can brins 1t back into that safe and quiet hver from which 1t has emerged. It IA we'll that all realize that fact.

 To the Editor of The Herald:-
 It is not often that l write to the newspapers. but your unfair and mis- leading editorial of October 1s about Senator Harding's Greencastle speech reused my indignation to the point of protest.
 On your front page, you carried an Associated Press dispatch which in- cluded the following:
 The meat Of this controversy lies in two things-whether Senator Hard ing in his Greencastle speech said spokesman or 'spokesmen' in re- ferring to persons that had reported him the sentiment of the Frsnch people, and whether the press had quoted accurately the passage in the speech to which the president tnek umbrage.
 ''Persons vhe heard the speech dis tinctly caught the plural spokesman a broad and general term of allusion. As a matter of fact the official stenog- rapher transcribed his notes to read spokesman, the singular and re- strictive term. This word was sent out by The Associated Press and oth- , CT correspondents with the Harding train, but subsequently,, and before i the president asked his question. Sen = ator Harding told inquirers that he spoke in the plural, and had no in- ! tention to make it appear that any officially accredited representative of the French government had ap- preached him.
 In spite of this definite statement l in your news columns that Senator Harding used the plural in referring 1, to the "spokesmen" of France, you base an unfair editorial on the hypo- critical statement that he used, the | singular. And when you find that g great newspaper like the New Yorl Herald, edited by statesmen, states the opposite to be true, you immedi ately assume that it is wrong and yot are right. Yet, all other reliabl, papers-and I concede that the Her ald is reliable from a news-gfvint standpoint-agree with the New Yorl Herald. Your stand reminds me O the popular song, They're all out o step but Jim"
 However, the Herald, masquerad ing as an independent newspaper while at heart a democratic organ deceives no one intelligent enough t be influenced by its editorials. Bet ter come out squarely and admit you I politics rather than try to give tn impression that you are independen and thus carry on an insidious cam paign against the republicans.

hold that they are entitled to enjoy

they prevent their employees from en-
Joy1ng; men who have used the sacred
language of patriotism and the ma
tons glorious flag as cloak behind

men who, with their arbitrary and auto
cratic methods, their abuse of power,
their contempt for the institutions of
our country when these interfered with
their greedy plans, created conditions
which made the workers hearts burn
with indignation and prepared their
minds for the fatal policies of revo1u-
tionary agitators?
True patriotism is an unlimited de-
vot1on to our country's welfare. True
patriots will be active in a campaign
against all those who endanger the ma
tion's welfare whether they be revolu-
tionists or the more dangerous of the
two, the men responsible for those un-
just conditions which are the cause of
revolutionary movements.
AS true patriots we must go be-

cause. 1t is the cause which is the
grave danger, the conditions which must
be removed"

c. F. OF |. PLANS
BIG DRIVE FOR
MORE MEMBERS
Object Is to Bring in Every Bona
.t Eide Trade Union
in the State.
LEGISLATIVE YEAR.
Desire. to Strengthen Organiza-
tion for Election and the
General Assembly.

Plans for strong drive for increased
membership were discussed at length at
the last meeting of the executive coun--
Gil of the Connecticut Federation of
Labor which was held at the Fedora
tons headquarters in the Academy
building, New Haven, Sunday
The existing situation was reviewed
extensively and each member of the
board was supplied with list of the or
ganizations affiliated with the Fedora
ton in their respective localities to-
gether with a list of unions which are
not affiliated. Personal effort will be
made by each member of the board to
bring in those organizations still on the
outside and the object of the drive will
be to include as members every body
that it is possible to secure.
With a state and national election
close at hand, followed by legislative
session, every effort will be made to
strengthen organization to the fullest
possible extent and it is desired to en-
roll every labor organization in the
state, regardless of their views upon any
subject so long as they are bona fde
trade unions affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
With as near 100 per cent. organiza-
ton as IS possible TO OBTAIN the Con-
necticut Federation of Labor will go to
the front to secure the election of men
favorable to Labor's cause and to gain
the passage of such legislation as is
necessary to protect its rights, The;
campaign will be waged vigorously and
great results are looked for
As result of the councils delibera-
hons the secretary will send out at once
letters to all affiliated bodies asking for
poll of their members in an effort to
secure an expression of opinion con-
cerning the advisability of supporting
the project of health insurance, which
has for several years been before the
Federation conventions. If it is found
that ajority of the members approve
of it the executive council will have
drafted bill providing for such 1egis1a-
ton and support it at the next session
of the General Assembly,
