TOAST GOES WE'LL WITH TEA.

Nothing so mars the delicacy of a cup of tea as poorly or insufficienuy boiled water Too often the water that is poured over the tea is boiled water to be sure, but not boiling water-it has been allowed to cool more than colored liquid, with all the fragrance left in the tea pot which should come out

 President De Valera suggests that Cuba without any harm at all to the interests of England. It is not necessary that Ireland should be part of an empire that it may en3oy mae pendence.
 Cuba s not part of an empire, but enjoys independence. It is not, however, to be thought that the United States would permit Cuba to make war or foreign alliance at will. IL is likely when everything is said and done that this limitation will be
 the only onet that will be laid on to think so and he is the abIest, most people believe. of Irish statesmen
 There is no scientific foundation for an assertion that the Irish method o1 campaign cannot result in anything useful for Ireland.
 To the contrary. there is a mark ed and growing tendency in Grea, Britain to make concessions to the Irish; very large concessions. It must be supposed that this spirit comes from all the cono1tfons. in. cludfng those which the Irish have 1 employed.

BUCKETS OF JOY

TT HE WORLD is full of joy.
 -A Here is a bit. The "Times'' told of the s605,00 the Bridgeport banks are paying this month out of the treasury of the Christmas clubs. This general sum is part of a greater whole. The banks of the United States will pay this week, from Christmas club treasuries, s110,00O,- 900, the wealth of Go1conda, the treasure of ages, the revenue of an empire. That is, 1t would have been all this two hundred years ago. Today this vast sum is merely part of the pin money of great and intelligent people. Please note that Bridgepor, continues to be efficient. The per capita for the country is $1 per per- son, for Bridgeport 1t is more than S4 per person.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It Is hard to grasp the guesome significance of the statement which comes from famine ridden China that In spite of the funds raised in vari- ous places, the efforts of relief com mittees. the American Red Cross, and government projects, that only a. half million persons can be rescued from starvation and that at least fifteen million must perish. Much of the blame for this s placed on the pres ent government. China is rich in na- tural resources but at present poor benefits of them, and at the same time very much over populated, the number of her people being greatly in excess of means of taking care of them, especially when there is any failure of crops.
 So much has the Lockwood Com mfttee, investigating conditions con- nected with building In New York uncovered that 1t now seems possible | that there may be national investiga- ton along the same lines, This would be a good thing if conducted vigorously and honestly, starting out with the findings in New York as 6 1 basis. for 1t seems almost incredible to think that if the charges made ir New York are true that the system | did not also extend to other parts o1 | the country as well.

THE IRISH REVOLUTION

 quoting from Thomas Car lyle, thinks that the Irish do not see facts as they are. Carlyle wrote in his .CromwelI'' that the Irish have never let theN fact tell its own harsh story to them. They have said all ,va.ys to the harsh fact Thou art not that way, thou art this way"
 This is something easy to say and more difficult to prove. The Irish have fought a long fight for inde- nendence, for more happiness, for more comfort, and they had gained more of all those things than they had some centuries ago. or even .on,e years ago. They may some ttp,es have overlooked fact, but in 4his they do not differ from othel raonle. It. is not. as our contem.

THE TARIFF AND THE
 TREATY

HERE WAS that miller to
 -A whom a primrose by the rivers brim a simple primrose was and nothing more; and there is the high tariff chap of the Home Market club to whom a tariff is tariff, and not another thing.
 The Home Market club wasn't much impressed with the idea that the United States ought to come in un- der the peace treaty.
 Nevertheless, the peace treaty sets up mandates for a large portion of the surface of the earth, and sets up Art. XxIII of the Covenant, which provides for equal opportunity for trade and commerce.
 William c. Culbertson of the U. s. tariff commission, which President Wilson caused to be created to take the tariff out of politics. has a wider view. He discusses before the Acad- emy of Political Science some of the conditions that have arisen under the mandates. He illustrates pr:nci- pally with the case of the island of Naura. This island is in the Pacific | ocean south of the Marshall islands, and is thought to contain the largest reserve of high grade phosphate in the world.
 Germany owned the island, but sur rendered it on September g, 1914, to the allies. In July, 1919, the govern ment of Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, agreed to purchase the phosphate concession, which had been in the hands of @ private company chartered by the German government
 The agreement provides that the phosphates are to be sold at cost tc the three governments, the cost price | to include interest, a sinking fund fo, the capital, working expenses and contributions to the administrative expenses. No other country Is te

THE CLUB IMPETUS

E ROM LAWRENCE T. Gal
 k lagher. the popular and eff ficient exalted ruler of Bridgeport lodge of Elks comes an unexpected testimonial to the vitalizing power of prohibition. Discussing the really ambitious building project which his
 organization has begun, the exalted
 ruler says:
 "It undoubtedly is true that prohi- bition has given various social and
 fraternal associations a great i'm
 petus. Denied the meeting places in
 the restaurants and cafes, even though
 liquor cannot be had Tn the club, there is a natural tendency towards the gregarious. Men want to meet, they are seeking some form of amusement. This Is largely furnish ed by the clubs in their social halls ] the restaurant, the billiard room and the card rooms
 MT. Gallagher takes ranK afnoue | the philosophers and d:scoverers. Men have asked a thousand times what | men would do upon the social side of life, once the saloons were gone. MT Gallagher has observed a part of the 1 answer, and he reports what he has seen with the fidelity of a scientist. l. A phenomenon of the same order
 is the approaching conso11oat:on o1 | the Algonquin and Seaside clubs | Man is social animal. Take from | him one means of gratifying tht

roduce of similar territories cannot
 similarly regarded if his own gov nment can establish precedent. Lord Robert Cecil says the British orernment is entirely wrong He ays:
 The phosphate company, in fact, was working under the Ger man government - let us re- member that and while work ing under the German govern ment 1t traded freely with those who became subsequently, the en- emtes of Germany. Here we are going to preclude the possi- bility of a single ton of phos- phate being sold to anybody ex- cept the three governments con- cerned and for our own use. Undoubtedly there was no idea, that the mandatory was to use this power in order to secure a monopoly of the riches of the mandated country"
 Herbert H. Asqufth, leader of. tn former Liberal government, asserte, that the agreement is without lega or International validity of any sort that it is in fragrant contravention o the letter and spirit of the Covenan of the League of Nations. "It i wrong to g.ve preferential treatmen to particular parts of the British em pire,'' he says, "as against the res of the world"
 If British statesmen thus view thi interesting matter, what ought to b he opinion of American statesmen Americans must enlarge their spher of interest, not excluding American ket club.
