of her opportunities if she failed to reap
to tho fullest the fruits OF her participa-

lie approved of all his associates in the
treatment of which. he said. had been so
government had done, he de-
clared. but he warned against an emo
tional and hysterical attitude on the part
of the people In dealing with the problem.
The sensible method he said, Is to find
the cause and then eradicate it.
Defends Mr.. Wilson.
Defense for President Wilson formed
the keynote OF his speech. Mr. Baker said
that the American people are medieval in
their treatment OF many matters, and he
entreated his audience to approach politi-
cal questions with moderation and without
vituperation and scandal He said that no
President had ever labored more to do
his patriotic duty than has President Will
son, but that even Washington. I'm his
time, had been subjected to the bitter de-
nunciation of political opponents and had

spirit, II would rather be dead than in

arise the old JEALOUSY. The exee,,tive
would be jealous Of Congress for alleged
uslrpation OF executive functions and
Congress would respond with a battle
against executive Interference with legis-

America today stands as the leader OF

special relation TO the treaty OF peace. but
you are at liberty to place your own con-
struction upon 1t. i believe there should
be some radical changes In the relations

Secretary Baker spoke OF the federalist
theory which considered people merely as
an unfettered mob. and that held by
Thomas jefferson. who believed the people
were the only safe holders OF power.
The writer's of the constitution" he
continued, tried to aim between the king
Of rhe olden days and the mob. They pro
vided for both. They made the President
responsible for the government Of the
nation, but gave him little power Then
conferred on Congress great powers, but
no responsibility. I am not speaking now
of President Wilson's administration only"
Clashes with Congress.
He said that the same clash had hap
pened in every administration, even when
Mckinley was President, and the strong
friendship between the President and
senator Hanna was insufficient to prevent
a DISPUTE. He said that Roosevelt's adj
ministration provided several clashes be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches.

COUNTRY RAISED OVER S4,OOO,OOO
 BY SEAL SALE

Hartford, Jan. 22 - This country raised more than $4,00O,OO0 in the annual Christmas Seal sale which has just closed.
 No state of it's size equa1led the record of Connecticut whose sale has already reached $73,ooO. This is a per capita sale of about six for Con- necticut. Only five states reported a larger per capita seal sale, South Da- kota, New York, and Colorado with seven, Tennessee with ten, and New Hampshire with 1 4.
 In Connecticut no donation of more than $1O0 was given and it is doubtful whether more persons bought seals in any state than Con- necticut, as the school children prov ed an energetic factor in canvassing many cities and towns and selling them in small blocks.
 Although full reports from the 50 Connecticut cities and towns where the seals were sold have not yet been received. New Ravens total has amounted to $10,7OO, which will prob- ably lead the state. Hartford is sec ond with about $9.500, with Bridge port a close third, totalling about $S.00O Norwichs total of S4,60O at present leads, the state per capita sale. Practically complete reports from other cities and large towns of the state include: Danbury, $500; Fairfield, s7OO; Greenwich, $500; South Norwalk, $1,200.
 Two years ago when the seals were last sold in Connecticut, the sale rais- ed s43,000, the present total of $73,- 900 nearly doubling that amount.

CONN. SOCIETY OF SOCIAL HYGIENE
 WILL MEET HERE
Dr. Katherine B. Davis and Dr. E. l.. Swan Are
 to Speak

The annual meetings of the Con- necticut Society of Social Hygiene have hitherto always been held m either New Haven or Bridgeport. This year the society has accepted the 1l- vitation of Dr. Walter H. Brown, wh lose fame as a health officer has spread all over the state, and the meeting is to be held in Bridgeport, The meeting will be held on February 6, in the Auditorium of the Health and Charities building at the corner of Main street and Washington ave- nue at o'clock in the evening. Two speakers of nation wide reputation and work will make addresses-Dr. Katherine Bement Davis and Dr. |. l.. Swan. There will also be an ad dress from Dr. Walter H. Brown. The president of the society, Prof. C.-E. A. Winslow-will take the chair. Be fore the public meeting there will be a business meeting to- which all members of the society are invited. This meeting will be short but there is important business to be transact ed, including the election of officers and a. revision of the constitution.
 The Connecticut Society of Social Hygiene has been at work in the state since 1910. It has done ali
 
 since Dr. Valeria H. Parker became field secretary in 1916. During that time. the change in public sentiment has been revolutionary. In the early years the society had to contend with the conspiracy of silence which has brought about a tradition that it was more shameful to speak of prostitution and venereal diseases than to tolerate these things. Even before the war this tradition was be- ing broken through, but it was the war and the work of the United States government in combating venereal diseases that aroused the whole country to their dangers and the need of education in regard ta them.
 Since the war much of the work formerly done by the United States Public Health Service and the army and navy departments has devolved on state authorities and voluntary or ganizations, and to the American Hygiene Association has fallen the duty of continuing the educational work begun during the war. It is now the object of the Connectic cut Society of Social Hygiene to form closer relations with the American Asso ociation, in order to unify the work and to make available the whole strength of both organizations. In all the states the Social Hygiene societies are working in closest and most friendly cooperation with the state and municipal authorities, and Dr. Browns invitation to the c. s.
