DEFEATED OR VICTORIOUS?

The defeat of Georges clcmGncea u, the war horse Of France. for the nom ination as president of the sister re- public is probably the most dra matic incident in the whole career of-~this master mind of France. While the American press has had but little in tm.ation of the inside politics of the French, il came as a, distinct surprise when the message arrived telling of his defeat. And the more surprise was this news in the face of the re- cent overw helmins vote Of confidence Gtwen his adninistra ration Being of any faith. none can but admit that Georges Clemenceau was Frances Man of Destiny. Coming to the fore in the most crucial period of history. this aged personality. by his own dyna mic Ssorce and zeal caught up the nation and carried it along to vic tory throughout the last phases of the war. It was Clemenceaus in dominl a ble courage. perseverance, and doSced persistence. even in the face Of what amounted to NIftual detoa at times that wore down the oppO- Sition and made it possible the plant ing of the tri-colOr on the top of the mast. II has been said: '"The path of glory leads but to the grave" Georges tJemenc,au lives. He has lived use full life and has given his all to France. yet in his declining years he must make a virtue of necessity and as his reward be ss tisfied with knowing that his was a job we'll done. His defeat for the nomination reflects no credit upon his nation. The office of presi- dent of France is almost entirely a hsurehead The president wields no great political power. It is largely an honorary position. The French Republic owes to CHemenceau debt of gratitude that can never be paid Yet to this man who. as premier, steered the ship Of state safely through the stormy period of the war. the grateful republic has refused to give the comparatively empty, but honorary office of president. Verify. America is not alone in its queer politics"

CHILDREN AS HOSTS
Those at Lincoln Street School En- certain Their Parents and Friends at Social Gathering.

Children Of the Lincoln Street school acted as hosts to their parents last evening at the second comm unity gathering of the season under the auspices of the Parents and Teachers asSocia tion.
 In view of the stormy Wea ther. the attendance was conside cred worthy of special m en tion, proving that the fla thers and mothers of that district are intensely interested in the welfare of the association and in close touch with school affairs. It is estimated that between 200 and 300 were pres ent.
 Early in the evening the members of the association inspected work done by the children during the past term. The work was exhibition in al the school rooms and created much faNora ble comment and praise of the teachers.
 The enterta inment - program was furnished by the children and con- sisted of interesting numbers. in cluding elocution. singing and folk dancing.

 We cannot understand the reason for the refusal of the Connecticut Light and Power company officials to attend the session of the council. Surely they owed that much to the interests Of their customers. 4 public forum. such as was planned, is often the best means of smoothing over fancied grievances. Even though nothing were accom- plished 1t, would have been a matter of diplomacy for the Sa leStnen of the organization to take a part in the proceedings. Even though there are no dissenters but the Mayor an explanation. made in public. of the new rates could have harm ed no one.
 We are also completely at sea when consid ering what prompted the Mayor to issue his call to the public before . he was satisfied that the meeting would surely he held. He, also, owes something to the people of New Brit ain, and should not stir them up 10 the point of preparing to go from their homes to the center, for the purpose of attending a meeting. until he is certain that that meeting will be held.
 However. the Mayor has committed himself on the matter of rates he has even gone far as to advise the public not to pay it's bills charged under new rates until there is settlement. It will be interesting, now. to watch what lie does to ob- tain this equalization of rates which he promises. He has assumed the en- tire responsibility for proving that the cumpanN is excessive in it's prices before the public utilities com- mission or elsewhere.

M OBSERVATIONS

Among the outstanding features of the "winter campaign" not the least interesting. is the amount of attention being centered on William Jennings Bryan. at one time the idol of the dem ocratic party. who now threatens to return from the realm of obscurity in which he has heen dwelling since he parted company with President Wilson's official family and resigned IS secretary of state.
 Judging from newspaper reports, Bryan worked his m gic at the Jack son day dinner at Washington and actually carried off the Ia urels. prov ing that he Is man to be reck oned with. either as the poSsible winner of the democratic presidential nomina- tion or dictator of the cause of the nominee.
 In the three campaigns for the presidential chair which Bryan wased he failed tn gain preference at the hands of New Britain voters. On each occasion he was decidedly de- feated in this city.
