HOPE FOR ALL.

No man should quit his job because he thinks he Is not getting on fast enough to suit him unless he has made a fair trial of the position. But
 The fact that a man realizes, after a fair trial. that he is a failure at it should not take from him the convic- tion that he is good for something He shoun still have hope. These philosophizings are due to a news item stating that the winner of the 1920 Nobel literary prize was a failure as a car conductor. He could not remember. or did not remember, the names of the streets his car passed. He lost his job.
 Today the writings of that car con- ductor failure are translated into twenty three languages. His published volumes cover 65,ooo,o 900 pages.
 There is no intention to imply that every man who fails at other work can become a great writer of fiction although it is true that fiction writ CTS often are good for little else. There Is the intention. however. to emphasize the fact that a change of work or profession may often bring success.
 If n man has ability or genius he knows 1t. It is sometimes impos- sibie for him to convince others of that fact his employers least of all. Nevertheless the conviction remains with him until the end, whether or not he sees results.
 Probably that car conductor for got the names of the street because he was thinking of some old tumbled- down shanty he had seen and was picturing it's imagined history. Prob ably many a tale had been written in his brain concerning sights he had seen. words he had heard as his car crossed and re-crossed those streets. Probably he came to realize this probably his employers laughed. self-analysis is dangerous if car ried to an excess resulting in morbid withdrawal of self into self. Self
 analysis is wise if the concrete re- | suits of such self study are turned into energetic action. If a man dis covers that he is always thinking of something other than his work. and
 worth while. let him Ego to it."

FRENCH POINT OF VIEW.

It Is extremely interesting to note that the sentiment in France Is that whoever wins the election in the United States today. the United States will take an important place in inter- national affairs
 Running alongside of this belief is the conviction that England's power will be reduced. And such is the de- siro of France.
 One disIikes to repeat such an old saving as An outsider sees most of the game" but it is appropriate at this time. With the perplexity that has arisen in this country as to what , tho League of Natious means and does not mean-a perplexity due to political arguments: with the camo- nage of calling the Lea gue by so many different names, the main fact has been submerged in trivialities. The United States will become a prominent figure in international af- fairs. The United States is an inn portant factor in them at this mo- | ment. The only difference will be that it's position. as such important factor will be officially recognized. Thero will be no necessity, after cleo ton. for the splitting of hairs for the ! correction or repudiation of rem lrks | alleged to have been made by candi- 1 dates or supporters of candidates.

thing of that -e were it not for the churches. Through them came tho schools advancement; through the schools came the development of thought. Thence came civilization in it's highest form. Let a country. a city. town. community give up or allow to be abandoned it's churches, and that country or community be- comes a place where it is not good to live.

 Perhaps pr. Hillis is pessimistic. It Is believed there Is much truth in his remark. however. Support of some church IS as much duty of the lukewarm believer as for the re- ligious fanatic. for economic if for no other reasons. The greater the intelligence of the man or woman the greater becomes his or her duty to recognize this fact.
 All of which has been said many times before; all of which is for gotten many times by those who should remember

LONG PHONE TALKS.

The Telephone Company has a rule, more or less impossible of enforce ment, that telephone conversations should not last more than five min utes.
 The rule is flexible, of course, and only the demands or courtesy and sometimes urgency can compel its en- forcement. The company issues circular letter from time to time, or when complaints are made that cer- tain persons on party lines are monop- olizing those lines to the inconven- fence of others on the same line, call ing attention to this rule.
 Even if every subscriber were for tunate enough to have a single wire it would be wise for the telephone user to limit his or her conversations to things necessary to be said with all due regard to politeness This, for the reason that someone else may be wait ing to call the person who is prolong- ing a talk beyond reasonable limits. And this second call may be far more important than the first
 But unfortunately in New Britain several subscribers are forced to use the same line. This complicates mat ters. out of consideration for the other users of such party line anyone thereon should be particularly care full not to extend conversations be- yond five minutes. Even this delay in some cases may prove serious.
 An incident in point was one where a subscriber wished to call a physi- clan in haste. The line-her own line was busy" She waited five minutes The same persons were talking and it was impossible for her to call the physician. Another wait of five min utes and the same apparently unim- portant conversation was going on. Tn desperation she "butted in," stat ing that she wanted to call the phy- sician in an urgent case. CourteousIy the persons who had held the line hung up.''
 One hesitates to ::Butt in" but such cases Of necessity do arise It would be
 well if telephone subscribers consid-
 cred courtesy as we'll as necessity in
 every case.

 most emphatically deny that the Private Walter J. Smith Post, V. F. w. had anything whatsoever to do with the publication or the mailing of the anonymous communication mailed to the ex-servicemen on Saturday, Oct. 30. referred to in their attack.
 It was at the suggestion of It. Caldwell Colt Robinson Post. V. F. w. of Hartford that the local post of the V. F. w. requested the local candi- dates for statements as to their atti- tudes towards the proposed bonus which bill was offered the last session of the General Assembly by this or ganization. Upon receiving replies from all of the candidates it was de- cided that the ex-servicemen in gen. eral should be acquainted with the at- titude of the various candidates and for this purpose a mass meeting was called on Friday, Oct. 29 and was at. tended by over 200 ex-servicemen representing every organization in the city. The letters were then read and voted upon from the floor and all were endorsed with the exception of MT. Hall whose opposition at the time was vague and indefinite. He did not commit himself definitely in his letter and, furthermore, he told the writer that he would not hesitate to go on record as being opposed to the measure. (From developments this day I am inclined to think that his statement was & bluff).
 In view of the above the meeting went on record as being opposed to the election of MT. Hall and a com mittee of eight was appointed to carry out the recommendation of the meet ing. Only two members of this com mittee were representatives of the " F. w. This committee was not re- sponsible for the anonymous com munications.
