 Because this searching party which will be gone for period of five years is not >encountering the perils of the Arctic regions does not mean that there is not more or less hazard connected with their efforts. While they will endeavor to get

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Defiance of Authority Doesn't Promote

 Law and Order.
 MT Editor Article |, Section. 5 of the Constitution of Connecticut States

 Section of the Connecticut consi-' tuition: 'sNo law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech of or the press.
 Chapter 191, page 1e4, Public Acts of Conn, 1919, provides;
 Section 1-No person shall, in public, or before any assemblage of ten or more persons advocate in any language any measure doctrine proposal or propaganT da intended to injuriously affect the goY- ernnent of the United States or the state of Connecticut
 Section 2-Any persons violating any of the provisions of this act shall be fined not more. than one thousand dol-- lars or imprisoned not more than three years or both.
 Chapter 312. page 3o5. Public Acts of Conn, 1919, says: Any person who shah speak, or write, print and publicly ex- hibit, or who shall publicly exhibit, post up or advertise any disleyal, scurrilous or abusive, matter, concerning the form of government of the United States, it's mil itary forces, flag or uniforms or any mat ter which is intended to bring them into l contempt or which creates or fosters op- position to organized government. shah be fined not more than five hundred dol 1 lars or imprisoned not more than five years or both. 1 Judge Hamrnersley in the case of 1 State vs. Mckee, T3 Conn, page g, de- l cided in May, 1900, says in part: livery 1 citizen has, an equal right to use his mental endowments. as well as his prop serty, in any harmless occupation or man. 1 ner; but he has no right to use them so as to iniure his fellow citizens or to 1 endanger the vital interests of society.

Extremely zealous efforts are being put forth in certain directions for the en- forcemeut of the prohibition amendment, but no attention. whatever is sbeingsgiven to the enforcement of the federal law where violations are open and little or no effort made at concealment, F
 This contrast is to be noted in the or der issued by the treasury department of the government requiring government agents to search the baggage of the di- plomatic representatives of other nations and to seize whatever liquor is found amongst it and the conditions which ex- ist in the cities of this country where it
 is recognized that they are just as we. if not "wetter than ever" and where the sale of liquor is being carried on openly and without restraint. aeH ssa
 It is plainly a case of strafning at a guat and swallowing a camel. It means putting forth an effort that is liable to result in seSious international compli- cations if we proceed to search the bag gage of foreign diplomats and which bids fair to be blocked hy the state de rart1ent, tut it deinor strates neverthe- less that the treasury department i, willing to go to any length in behalf oi the dry amendment, in one direction bu calmly turns it's back on the perform ance of it's duty in upholding the laH where there isn't any question as to it authority.
 It is ridiculous on the face of 1t tc think of stopping foreign diplomats iron bringing liquor into the country rin cas, they should attempt to do it. while bar rels of it are being made, transported
 nl sold every day in all parts of thu
 uH:ry and no effort that amounts tt

4 BAD PRACTICE.

Waiting until an automobile gets on the railroad tracks before attempting to md out whether a train is coming is a tad practice and too often brings seri- Dus results. This is what was done by the driver of an auto bus at New Jer- eey railroad crossing at Belford this week if the statement of eye witnesses h correct Two dead and five injured were numbered on the casualty list when q roll call had been taken.
 This was an unguarded railroad cross. Ing at grade. It does not appear that view Of the tracks was obstructed and i; aoes not appear that effort was made to guard the safety of the bus occupants by looking for a train which had whis- fled until one of the two tracks had been crossed and then the sight of an on coming train SO confused the driver that he stalled his engine instead of getting his car out of the way
 II was sad preliminary to a wed dhng but it was apparently another ot those instances where the importance ot Showing respect for the death-dealine pv7oers of locomotive was underval ued. Too often is it a fact that slight attention Is paid to railroad crossings because drivers have negotiated them sc frequently without mishap that they ge the impression that there is no danger
 There is nothing inconsistent in claim Ing that such crossings should be guard cd by signals, but even with those f doesn't mean that those driving vehicles across them are relieved of the irnpor tznt responsibility of giving proper pro tsction to self and fellow occupants.

 political parties to go by unnoticed. If the same ordinance under which Mir. Boardman was arrested was enforced on others it certainly would concern them all so, and an ordinance or traffic law that concerns our or two persons in our city should concern the whole community and should effect them and their neighbors.
 A Citizen has 70 reason to deny us the right to think as he did in your is sue of the 18th, nor has he any logic in his statement that the doings of MT. Boardman have no relation orr concern to other offences of the same nature.
 Let us be fair minded. Give MI-Boari- man the same right to asse9hfy as all others.
 Let him or his organization use the street the same as all others, and ik he in any way makes any statement that is seditious or anarchistic arrest him and give him the limit; allowing him his equal rights with others; but no spscia' or Illegal rights. Again Justice is the issue.

THE GROWING CHILD

Lateral Curvature.

Among the many causes of lateral curative, besides malfornation and asymmetries of bone, may be mentioned unequal vision and hearing, habit or oc- cupation, rickets, paralysis, and e1npy- ema. If one or more of these causes Are present in a child with weak muscles and yielding bone, bad school conditions, such as unsuitable chairs or desks, improper
 lighting, long periods of inactivity ana the like, will naturally tend to aggrayats
 the trouble. though it probably began be- fore the child entered school
 Since it is true that lateral curvature
 may be associated with either round
 shoulders or flat back, the mota,.r can not use these conditions es evidence for
 or against the existence of lateral curva-
 aure. But she tor the dressmaker)
 may notice that the child's shoulders are
 not the same height, or that one pro- jects farther backward than the other, or that one side of the back is fuller or more prominent than the other, or that the hips are uneven. In all cases the child s spine should be examined ard since it is of great importance to know whether the curve is functionaFor structural. the exaniinat ton should be made by. one train ed to differentiate between these two types. It1is occasionally difficult, even for an expert, to make sharp distinc, ton between these two forms of curva. 1 ture

COUNTRY WANTS NO WARD POLL
 TICIANs.

Governor Cox isn't going to get any Shere with his efforts to ridicule others any more than he did with that world Etirring revelation which he made con- corning the republican campaign fund 10 was made clearly evident at that tine tkat he was resorting to political meth ohs which marked him a ward politician and frcm then on his campaign has pro- duced frequent evidences of it. Gov ernor Cox has convinced no small num- bcr of voters that he not only cannot put Into effect the promises that he has made but that he is not the man that tho country desires to occupy the white house.
 When Governor Cox undertakes to sharge Senator Harding with being in- consistent upon the league of nations, he simply does what many who areI sup porting him are doing by misrepresenta- ton. Much has been said about the Des hOines speech which Senator Harding made. In spite of his subsequent decla- Futions to the effect that the distorted meanings applied to 1t were incorrect a portion of that speech is still being quoted in an effort to show that MT Harding is for no league at all Noth- Ing could be farther from the fact. When Ssnator Harding declared that Tt is not Interpretation but rejection that I ar seeking' he was sReferring to the dan. serous obligations imposed upon this country by the covenant under article ten and about which he was then talk Ing. He is opposed to article ten but pot to good points in the league or an understanding between nations
 The country has. however, been watch, ing the Cox methods. It is conscious of the fact that President Wilson has de elared. following his talk with Cox tr1a they are in full accord. Cox hasn't at tempted to deny it. The country is de- termined to get away from a contin uanee of conditions and policies simiIa 10 what it has been having and it know that there Is no chance whatever to dt 20 unless Harding is elected. That i why sentiment from one end of the coun try to the other is running so strong il that direction.
