THE CITY MEETING.

There is more reason for men and women to attend the city meeting to- night than ever before.
 Women especially should consider 1t their duty to learn, first hand. how affairs are conducted-what are the arguments for and against a high or a low tax rate and the other matters that will be presented.
 Mayor Curtis has made arrange nisnts that the proceedings shall be orderly. They probably will be.
 Women should see how different is the practical working out of a mat ter than the discussion of the same question in the home. They should know the practical obstacles which confront men who favor or oppose a civic plan. They should see that 1t Is not as easy as it looks. They should learn how convincing are ar- guments against something they favor. or the arguments in favor of some thing they oppose.
 And the men and women need not fear they will be bored. A city meet ing is terestipg,-exciting at times and at times extremely funny.
 But every taxpayer or voter should be there at the Armory on Arch street tonight as much before eight o'clock as possible in the. aid of or der and comfort.

FOR THE SERVICE MEN.

The former service men have evil dently got together. It is expected that n resolution will be presented at the city meeting tonight, if it is Ie- gally possible. asking for ss,000, which will mean Is of a mill tax, with which to provide the salary of a secretary to handle claims of injured men and to attend to other duties in. their aid, and to provide club rooms for the $500 men who entered the service from this city.
 A resolution asking for this amount -$11. .O00-has been presented in the Common Council. The most that has been done with 1t is to report it back to the committee with progress The legality of procedure was aues- toned.
 The service men have taken mat ters in their own hands. They are about to ask the people directly whether or not New Britain people are willing to give this amount, de- spite complaints against the high tax rate. to aid them in obtaining not a bonus for the offering of them- selves that they made. but in obtain ing just compensation for injuries re- ceived. They seek also place where they may gather to perpetuate the spirit that was born of the war-that is the direct child of the serviee-a spirit which goes to intensity the loy- aIty to the United States that lies deep in every man who fought for it,
 Arguments may be raised that the United States will take care-shouId take care-of these claims; that there is no need of a local secretary for this purpose. It will be said that the former service men do not need a place where they may meet.
 There are $500 of these men. They are of all races, all creeds. all men, talities. The United States govern ment has a lot of trouble on its hands. There is need of a man in this city 10 see to 1t that. while the matter

New Britain herald., 1921-03-04

for the services of man to look into these matters and to aid those who have just claims by hastening their payment
 New Britain people want to keep alive that spirit which came to these men from service. They want them to gather-to regain confidence in the part of the country from which they went to serve the whole. They will favor the provision for a meeting place for these $500 men.
 Every person at the city meeting tonight will be interested personally. Nearly every man and woman, will have seen service, watched a dear one leave to fight, or will have known who did go and, perhaps was injured one who did go and. perhaps was in jured or did not return
 There appears to be some question of the legality of the method of pro- cedure. If the men have found no way by tonight to legally present and have this resolution passed upon, they will abandon the idea.
 If the resolution is presented, in legal form, it is believed the people of New Britain, at the city meeting, will remember those who fought, bled and died, forgetting the additional tax, and eager only to give these men something due them.

"JEST RUMINATlN'."
(Robert Russell.)

When we attend a gatherin' O chaps who have to think to earn their daily livin'-what they eat an what they drink, we feel the atmosphere that comes from un- derstandin' folks - it comes through ''talkin' shop" a bit; it comes through crackin' jokes. There ain't a better way to find how we can help things long. than joinin' in a simple meal, a simple, well-sung song. An in cidentally it's good to see an anxious brow relaxed in singin' such a song as Smile, an Dc It Now That contemplative pipe O mine allows 'twould be jest great if. all the people in the world could thusly congregate an speak d single language that they all could understand-the people from the farmost south an from that icy land. O course the things impossible; the dream is simply wild; it's like thought that is conceived by some small trustin child. But lots O dreams are jest like that-fool visions that won't last, denounced and laughed at here today, born of hopeful past. But ne'ertheless,~ returnin' to the thing we men toned first, it's good to gather, talk an eat-together quench our thirst.

COMMUNICATED

1 Editor of the Herald:
 Will you please use the following The many unfortunate ones that are short time, are bemoaning their fate ! and longing for the return of the 1 good old times again.
 To those people let us say: Keep up good cheer, and a stiff upper lip the City of Rome was not built in a day, it takes time to do anything and it may be long one, before this trouble that now exists all over the country, will be cleaned up, but rest assured that brighter days are before us. and are sure to come sooner or later.
 The entire country is upside down, and long time may elapse before it is again in its normal condition. Many, perhaps, with large families, have had hard struggle this winter. to keep the wolf from their door, but such is life, what can't be cured must be endured, and we must be content with what God. who does all things well, gives us.
 During the past year or two, skilled sworkmen have demanded very high wages, and every opportunity was be- d meet any emergencies that were likely to come most any old time. Their money came easy, and no doubt, with some. went easy, without any forethought of the future This reminds us of that other fellow. after his horse had been stolen he locked the stable door,. With a littfe forethought he would, no doubt. be a horse in.
 While many of the manufacturers in the surrounding towns and cities have closed, or nearly so, their fac tories for an indefinite length of time, those of the Hardware City, that are ever thoughtful for the good and welfare of their employees, have operated their plants a great deal of the time with the full quota number of hours, in order to keep their em- ployes to work, but as the prospects for better business doesn't seem to brighten up much, the majority of them have, in order to protect them selves, decided to operate their plants for the present, on shorter hours.
 We are in hopes that before the i robins nest again that this stagnation in business that has wrought so much '! havoc the country over, will be near | ing its end, and how happy the hun | dreds of people in this city that have l been without work many months 1 will be when they will again ~be al- 1 lowed to resume their places ir the l factories. Joy and happiness will ] then reign, and all will be merry as 1 8 marriage bell.

INTRODUCING NEW
 HEAD OF COUNTRY
(Continued from First Page.)

old-School practitioner The new Presidents mother has been dead l many years and his father is remar- l ried. Young Harding attended college at Iberia, O., and then tried school teaching for year before he began his newspaper career. Always a partisan and a Republican, he lost his job as a reporter by wearing in the presence of his Democratic Editor a "Blaine hat" the stove-pipe which was a badge of support of James C.. Blaine.
 Always Progressive
 Although it was a pioneer news paper age, MT. Harding's mind ran to progressive notions even in the day when the Star still was liability He broke his first partner over the ques- tion of installing a telephone in the newspaper office, proposal which the partner held to be impractical, ex- travagant and revolutionary. Although he retains a controlling financial in- terest in the Star, now a successful newspaper. MT. Hardinw will occupy but titular relationship to it during his Presidency.
 Three times before he has held public office. He served in the Ohio legislature and as lieutenant gover- nor of the state, and six years ago he was elected to the United States sen ate where he became a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. In 1916 he was chairman of the Republican national convention.
 Weighs 21O Pounds
 In personal appearance the new President is a man to attract a second look in any crowd. He carries his two ! nd yxyif hint of obesity, although he is not l six feet tall; and his massive features round out an impression of force and | distinction. His hair is iron grey almost silver grey-making sharp | contrast with the unusually heavy | black eyebrows that almost mask a | pair of calm grey eyes. It is only in | repose that his face takes on the aS- pect of severity seen so often in his | phs. When he talks or listens ] the lines are broken by a smile that | radiates cordiality.
 President Harding walks slowly, talks slowly, and makes up his mind | slowly; but he gives the impression of | polished deliberaton rather than of over-caution or abashment. He is a | good conversationalist and good | listener, and has. a faculty of getting |. through embarrassing situations with little show of em barrassmeEt. |.
 Not Great Orator
 As an orator MT. Harding never T. has rated himself as witty or eloquent, though he attained consid derable suc- .es a few years ago on the chautauqua platform. He seldom attempts fine | word pictures or humorous passages, but cultivates 9 deliberate, unem- oellished utterance.
 He never gives the impression of tilted dignity. He likes to know men we'll enough to call them by their first names and to slap them on the 1ack when he meets them. He likes o shake hands and make converse ion about the weather and the crops, md when he does he usually lapses nto the vernacular of an Ohio coun- lyman.
 Has Good Disposition
 It is MT. Harding's affability that : las made for officials close to him 'ome of their hardest problems. He lever likes to refuse an audience or to
New Britain herald., 1921-03-04

of his own. He is lifelong Baptist and a trustee of his home church in Marion. He has been a mem Der of the Elk and Moose fraternities for years, and since his election to the Presi- dency has become a thirty-second de- gree Mason and 8 Shriner. Golf is his favorite recreation and he likes to fish but does not hunt He plays hard, and possesses the faculty of putting all his worries out of his mind during vacation hours.
 Of all the presidents, Mir. Harding's close friends liken him most often to McKinly, with whom he has in comon a predoinsAe passion for obliteration of class and sectional lines
