 And one cannot fail to look a: Plume much us one does at Mexico, though the latter thorn is felt much deeper in our sides than the former.

FACTS AND RANCHES.

Although Samuel kone. the speaker
 imported by I. Simons to speak at his
 protest meeting yesterday, had an
 admirable command of English and
 showed a commendable ability as a
 speaker. and an intimate knowledge
 with tyrants and martyrs. he was sad
 ly lacking in his knowledge of cer- tain local conditions. For without qualification Mir. kone made the startling assertion that the present legislature is planning. scheming and plotting to take away the charter of the City of New Britain. Had MT. Kone only read the papers. or even conversed with any resident here, he would have known that the only action the legislature plans relative to the charter Of the City of New Britain is some amendments or re- visions such as arc proposed by the charter revision committee and in ac- cordance with law. There is no dan ger of the legislature trying to "kilI' the charter of the City of New Brit ain. and anyone who left the meet Ing worried over the fate of the city's charter can dispense with that worry once and for all. For excellent speaker that he was. Mir. Kone obvi- ousIy did not know what he was talk ing about when he made that state ment.

President Obregon has visions of the fate that has befaIlen his predecessors. He must know that his position is not tho safest in the world.
 He must feel that he has to consider not only the welfare of his own people but moro than that. in order to re- main secure in the office he holds, he must recognize their prejudiccs. II is probably in recognition of the general unpopuiarity that would come to him were he Co agree to a treaty with this country. in which were defined fairly the rights of Americans in Mexico and MeNicans in America. that he re- fuses 10 consider such d treaty.
 Thus. despite our hopes. recogni- ton and frienaliness between the two countries seems far away.

President Wilson's second industrial conference.
 This committee, representing the merchants. believes that the time is opportune for employers to take a step forward in industrial relations Employers now may abuse this chance or they may use it for the pur- pose of bringing permanent good.
 One paragraph of the report is worthy of repetition:
 Employers now have the opportu- nity to demonstrate that the assump- tion is incorrect that they are uni formly arrayed against or antag gonis- tic to labor. Now is the time for them to make it clear that the inter- ests of management and labor can be best realized through successful CO., operation
 Many men are out of work. This of course, puts employers in a posi- ton to get labor at low wages. If they take advantage of this situation
 
 show that they desire to be fair.
 If they treat labor as fairly as they are able under the circumstances. even though they believe labor has been unfair when it had the chance, employers will do much toward changing labor's attitude toward them.
 Employers are not out of the woods by any means. But labor is deeper in them than the employer. It has been the belief of labor that the employer is always trying to get the best of the employed. The laborer has been justified in many instances.
 As suggested by = his report the present is a splendid time for those employers who have been unfair to change their attitudes and not abuse | their chance to show the worker that | he, the employer. is willing to forfeit 1 the advantage the condition of un- has given him. The em- ployer who has be0h fair always-and mere are many Of them who have l suffered because of the unfair actions and demands of other employers-wilI be only too glad to continue his policy of justice.
 Give the worker his deserts now wen to the point of sacrifice. Such lction throughout the country would To much to bring employer and em- 'loye together and establish a good will between them which might come n no other way.

A Query on Third Terms"

A Query on Third Terms" New Britain Herald: Dear Editor:
 Will you please decide the follow ing:
 A says that a man can be presi- dent of the United States as many times as he is nominated and elected
 "B" says that, excepting in the case of war" president he cannot become president more than twice consecutively.
 "B" says that after our first presi- dent George Washington said it was too much like a kingdom for one man to be president mora than twice consecutively, it was then made a law, A claiming it only a rule fol- lowed out by presidents so far.
 Hoping you will publish this through your paper, I am
 w.E.w w.
 There is no ruling in the Consti- tuition against a president being re- elected any number of times Third term" arguments were rampant when Theodore Roosevelt hoped to be again elected. At that time the point was made that there is an unwritten law concerning third terms. There is no reason why a man should not serve a third term beyond the intangible feeling that he should not that exists in the country. Consequently A is quite right. [Ed.1
