An urgent plea by former Governor
Alfred Smith that the efficiency of the
Governor of the state be restored by
relieving him Of the petty duties Of his
office so impressed the New York State
Bar Association at its annual dinner in
the Hotel Astor last night that imme-
diate action was taken. Governor
Smith delivered telling indictment
against the petty actions the Governor
is compelled to take. and pointed out
after a graphic description Of them
that the Governor of the state could
rot possibly find time to pay attention
to constructive matters.
AS he sat down Professor Charles
T. Terry, Of the Columbia Law School,
rose and moved that committee of
five be appointed to draft suitable bills
to be presented to the Legislature this
year for that purpose. The motion
was put to the assembled diners by
Governor Nathan L. Miller, who acted
as POSTMASTER, and it was carried
unanimously.
After it had passed Governor Miller
said that the few weeks of his incum-
bency as Governor had been entirely
taken up in signing various minor doc
uments connected with the states bus
mess.
William D. Guthrie, who was elected
president Of the association at yester-
days session to succeed Governor Mil
ler, in his speech last night, moved
that former Governor Smith and SEN
ator James W. Wadsworth, both lay
men, be made honorary members of
the association, in view Of their valu-
able public services The other speak
ers were Governor, Sproul, of Pennsyl-
vania; Senator Wadsworth and William
II. WARDROBE, X. c., of Canada.
Governor Smith declared that in his
opinion most of the trivial duties i'm
posed upon the Governor could be re-
moved by statute, with the exception
of pardons and restorations to citizen
ship, which he thought should be placed
in the hands Of special commiss on
In illustrating some of the petty du-
ties Of the Governor he said: II never
could see the reason why the Governor
of the State Of New York should be the
panitor Of the Capitol building Yet
he is chairman of the board of trustees
Of all public buildings. This board
consists of two other trustees, and in
Governor Miller's case one Of them
lives on the Canadian border and the
other in Suffolk Counts.
"Some time during the year the Gov
ernor must sign 800 leases in triplicate,
and he must Gall in the board to dis
cuss them. If the superintendent of

POISE-NOT POSE

There are many people
who assume a pose of
superiority. TNey puff
themselves out likt<outer
pigeons, strut about like
peacocks and chatter like
magpies. They have done
nothing to distinguish
themselves, yet they affect
an air of pre-eminence
and a great manner of
condescensi0n.
They POSE.
Then there are people
who do things. They do
the thing that ought to be
done, and they do it
efficiently, promptly and
calmly - and without
pub icity. They don't
boast about what they
have done or will do,
They just keep on doing
the right thing the right
way. And they have come
to know the measure Of
their ability and worth.
They have enthusiasm and
cOnfidence-they are SEN
sible Of their strength.
THEY have POISE.
This applies to businesses
as we'll as to individuals.

propaganda. New Britain is rather proud of the way in which its for eign population has lived along with thoso of American birth. Foreigners and Americans have worked side bN side: they have enjoyed the same privileges. they have suffered the same hardships. It has been said by workers that foreigners. many of whom are most skilled in factory work. have been held in their posi- tiona while Americans. less efficient, have been let out
 And it ia believed that the best of the foreign element control the mass es of their races working in this city. It is believed that they have the wis dom to see that this city has been and will be in the future one of the best cities in the country in which to live and work They will suppress tend = encies to violence or disagreeab'e dis play on May 1 or on any other day.
 True it may be that in New Britain as in other cities there arc groups of radicals Of the most violent tenoen- cies. But the groups are small and no great organization has been formed to act with unison in all its branches.
 Recently wo havo seen attempts made by disturbers in the political field. and they were not foreigners. Their attempts to create chaos failed. They acted through legal channels They made no threats of violence, but results would have been bad for this city had their attempts been s'lccess- full, peaceful as they were.
 Appeal to sense of fear will moi keep men radically inclined quiet The majority of them know that littFe good would be accomplished by Tio' lence.
 It ia the appeal to their common sense and their own decency that will keep order in New Britain on Ma! Day and all other days.

Stamford. April 1S.-The Rev. G. Emil Richter, pastor of tho Method ist church here. who has been much in the limelight because of his efforts to purify the morals of Stamford and Darien, Conn.,, where he lives, /is in the midst of a quarrel in which his chief opponent is John Britson, li- censed local preacher and trustee of MT. Richters church. MT. Brit son questions the purity of one of MT. Richter'a pet fads, community mov- ie picture shows, which have been given in the social hall of the church.
 On charges prepared by MT. Rich ter MT. Britson's license as a local preacher was withdrawn and ha was asked by the quarterly conference of the church to withdraw aa @ mem Der. He was not at the meeting. Last Thursday night he attended Q meet ter of making misstatements and re- fused to withdraw from the church or to cease his duties as local preacher. The meeting wal stormy, and MT. Britson says MT. Richter threatened to have him arrested.

A few warm days are apt to make us forget former discomforts of cold weather. We are not espe eciaIly thank ful for the change of the seasons. We go on grumbling about something else perhaps the heat for which we have longed in the chill of the past months. Then there comes a cold, unpleasant day, as this Monday morning. It should he to us what the little bit of rock was to the track worker. It should remind us of the cold weather that Is about over. It should make us more appreciative of the Spring and Summer that are to come. It should remind us of how casually we are in- clined to make the good things of life. A day like today should make us more content with life into which there will come day after day of glorious warm, fine wather when all nature will bloom: when we should not forget dangers and disagreeable things that are passed and gone.

EASY"

IL tx believed most sincerely that the majority of people are honest. kindly disposed and decent. Most people would rather make life easier and pleasanter for their fellow beings than not. This is the natural tendency of man.
 But there has crept into our civiliza- tion, into the daily routine of affairs, foreign substances. (not people) which have modified the natural inclination of man.
 And one of the greatest of these in- fiuences is the fear of being considered easy"
 Perhaps it was this fear that led to the general practice of ''profiteering." Quite naturally u few men saw at once the chance to make big money by charging unwarranted prices in the months past. Immediately they were followed by few others, of greedy minds. Then the practice became so common that d man was called easy" if he refrained from indulging in it.
 The case of the man who charged the aaGme price for the rent of his room, while his neighbors on both sides of him almost doubled the rent. has been cited here. He felt almost apologetic when he told what he was getting for his room. He was laughed at. But he had strength of purpose enough and was of fine enough calibre to stand the his position of charging a fair rent. Although he was called easy he did not allow the lower minds of those who uttered the word to affect his fine ideals.
 Other people have been called easy because they helped doubtful cause, preferring to take chance of doing good rather than run the risk of leaving some person destitute.
 l It is impossible to imagine a world | full of easy people. There would b' some. always, who would take ad vantage of them to feather their owI nests, to enjoy themselves at the ex pense of others. Nevertheless there il certain nobility in the idea of beinl too big to mind being called easy. Easy one may be, and foolisl credulity is nothing more than d refusa to allow ones brain to work.
 Nevertheless a lot of the unpleasan and disastrous things that have beel happening in the world would not hay happened, the world would have been lot better off, this country would hay been better off in regard to its domesti affairs, and this community would hay been better off had there existed mor people in the last few years who ha been called, justly and unjustly easy"
 If man were left to his natural in clination: if a few rcprobates had nc taken advantage of that natural tend ency toward kindness and charity, tn
 world would have been and would | today far better place in which t live.
 To be called easy may be one ( the greatest compliments which man capable of paying man.
