 According to an unconfirmed runior, the change in the fire board was the result of Mayor Paonessa's disincllna- ton to approve of the inauguration of t two-platoon system in the fire de- partment It is said that the mayor believes this is an inopportune time to introduce the new system and knew that MT. Keevers would be . candi- date for the chairmanship of the board, in opposition to MT.

THE SWIMMING POOL

The city has practically adopted officially what was formerly an un- official swimming pool in the Stanley quarter park. In other words the pool has become a place where people, especially children, may find fun with safety and propriety.
 The most should be made of that swimming pool. The patrons should be taught to respect the tents that have been provided for dressing pur- poses. Those tents should be taken care of, not because of their value necessarily, but rather because proper care will encourage those who have the interest of the bathers at heart to make more extensive plans, when the proper times comes, for their pleas- ure.
 The opening officially of this swim ming pool. and the establishing a euard there, should be an incentive to those who do not know how to swim, He learn that valuable art. Some time Aeo it was pointed out here that the unmmer would be productive for lnany children and older people, if 6Aov learned to swim. Here is an op- neetunity that should not be missed. nc e,enins ot the pool l. especial

McCUMBER'S DEFEAT.

Some of the same influences which not of the "old guard" in Iowa. h. diana and Pennsylvania may be felt over Senator McCumber, North Da- kota. Senator Ladd of that state, put the case plainly when he stated that Frazier represented the modern school in politics and that McCumber stood for the old school.
 Senator McCumber has played poi- ties in the measures he has support ed. Some of those measures have been good in themselves, but the mo- tive which seemed to inspire his ac- same-what would bring the greatest number of votes. A few more in stances of the defeat of the old guard" will convince that the vot- CTS have had enough of the old school POhllIidHS duu diC uClcl lO have change. The stamp "old guard" will be considered enough, almost aside from the records of the men, to handicap a candidate for office.
 The man who is practically con- ceded the nomination, L. J. Frazier is radical of radicals, used in the proper sense. He is progressive to a degree, with nothing like Senator Me Cumber's record of twenty-four years in the Senate to recommend or-as some believe-to handicap him. This expression of the people will take it's place by the side of political express sions in Indiana, Iowa and Pennsyl- vania, as another distinct indication of the change in public thought It indicates that the people feel as Gen. eral Wang felt in refusing the pre- miership of China-a politician trained in the old school is not want cd.

PLANS FOR THE FOURTH.

Attention is called to the descrip- ton of the fireworks to be the feature of New Britan's Independence Day celebration. published in The Herald of yesterday. Much as the words Of an oratorio, printed on a program, are of assistance 10 the nearer of the music in fully appreciating the work, 50, in an entirely different way this description will be of use to those who watch the fireworks.
 Plans are being made today by many residents of the city as to how they will spend the holiday. No one cares to dictate as to how one should seek enjoyment at any time, but 1t is well in making plans, to give the city full consideration for the efforts that have been made here to furnish amusement and to make the day an interesting one. The celebration in other cities have the charm of dis tance to recommend them, but to counterbalance this attraction there is always the inconvenience and expense connected with making an excursion on that day, and the knowledge that when the day is over and the excur- sionists return to their homes in this city they are apt to feel that the trip was scarcely worth while especially in view of the fact that New Britain is going to celebrate this year.
 All Of which is merely to suggest that if a person is "on the fence" whether to spend the holiday away from the city or to remain here and enjoy the attractions provided for residents of this city it would be well to give New Britain the benefit of the doubt.

EVASIVE OBREGON

We have reason to feel that Obre. | gon would like to have better rela- | tions between Mexico and the United States He sees the good that would come to his country were matters to be improved, But he dares not go far, and this fear of the opinion Of the people of Mexico, who have that in- born hatred of the "gringo" that can not be eradicated, binds his hands.
 He is in a hard position.
 But this difficult position does not justify his attempt 10 deny tales of Imprisonment and the holding of Americans by Mexicans. His message to San Francisco newspaper char acterizes these stories which are apparently officially recognized as be- ing founded on fact, as attempts to stir up bad feeling between the two countries, and he asserts there is no foundation for them. In other words he seeks to draw the conclusion from the correspondence he has had with Mexican officers, that no Americans were captured at all.
 In that correspondence there is to be found no direct statement that no Americans have been captured The situation is referred to as normal" and the mention is made of the al- legged fact that no complaint had been made by any agency of an oil con- pany. This situation might exist and still the stories of the capture of Americans might be true.
 Obregon will gain nothing by being evasive. He will lose what reputation for honesty he has in this country if he fails to recognize the facts and insists on calling black" white"

WISE ADVICE

The sentence "Psychiatry as a means of arbitration would prevent many divorces," sounds mysterious. The words were spoken by a physi- clan in an address before the National Conference of Social Work in Provi- dence recent, in connection with the statement that one of the chief roles of the ''psychiatrist" was that of an arbiter, The statement is in reality quite simple and true,
 "Psychiatry," as of course every one knows, is the application of the healing art to the mind. The phychia- trist therefore doctors the mind. The idea conveyed by the sentence, then, is that curing the minds of the parties concerned will often prevent them from seeking a divorce.
 Leaving this phase of the matter with the statement that there would be fewer dvorces if the minds of both parties were normal and uninfluenced by anger, jealousy, temporary mis- understanding or Encouragement, the matter may be viewed to advantage from other points.
 The wise physician knows that the first thing to do in many cases, es- pecially nervous troubles. is to calm the patients mind. Worry aggravates any disease, some more than others, of course.
 If this be true it is evident that worry will affect a persons efficiency and that such is the case is known without recourse to the dictum of any learned man of medicine. If every man and woman would realize that he or she might cure himself or herself of many physical ailments by the prac- tice of psychiatry, or the application of a little healing to his or her mind, the world and the people in it would be far happier.
 The speaker on psychiatry said further that people could be taught through psychiatry to carry their burdens more easily by overcoming worry without the necessity of hospit- alization; that they might be thus en- abled to carry on their work in the environment in which they must con- tinue to live.
 Bob Quilen wrote something once to the effect that a philosopher was one who had learned that a lawn could be made to look pretty fine, even though full of weeds, if it were kept trimmed.
 Psychiatry is not far from philoso- phy. The philosopher who lives ac-

HURTING THE UNIONS.

Much harm has come to the cause
 Of labor unionism by the violence of
 small groups of union men, The re-
 cent tragedy in Illinois is the most
 terrible example, There is little
 doubt but that small part of the
 great union Of miners was directly
 responsible, aided as 1t was by com
 plaisant local government and in-
 ilamed by information given by high
 union official that the workers should
 be considered ordinary strike break CTS. There are no words strong
 enough to condemn the perpetrators of that crime. They should be pun ished from the guilty officials who in- cited the men indirectly, down through the county officials who did practically nothing to prevent it, to the msn themselves il they can be found, who committed the outrages. The deeds were done in passion otherwise the awful outrages would not have been as great as they were
 But passion did not influence the men higher up in the unions when they sent messages which were taken by the angry men as justification for any crime. Passion did not influence President B. NJ, Jewell of the railway shopmen's organization when he re- fused to appear at the special meet ing of the Railroad Labor Board ralled for an investigator of the proposed strike. His action hurts the cause of the men Of the associa- ton which he leads far more than would the unconsidered action of a small group of those men, repre- hensible as such actions might be.
 Railroad executives and officers are aware af the advisahility of fol- lowing the suggestions, even, of a body of men which has the power to make decisions for or against them. even though such decisions, as in the case of the Judgment of the railroad labor board, are but advisory" They recognize the fact that there is noth- ing to be gained by gratuituously "an- tagonizing the court The best law yers refrain from doing this just as carefully as they refrain from seeking to carry the appearance of servility. The court and such a body as the labor board, respect the men who appear before it and stand up for their rights as energetically as pos sible, but who don't attempt to bluff or bluster their way to success.
 The action of Jewell hurts not only the organization which he heads but it prejudices the cause of labor every where. It gives food for argument to those employers of labor who insist that there is no use trying to argue with labor. It strengthens the case of those who insist that the only thing to do with unionism is to abolish it al- together. Because of Jewells action the Labor Board will be more severe with the men over whom it has at least advisory jurisdiction than 1t other wise would have been.

WASHINGTONS ACTS
 WILL LIVE IN STONE
Beautiful Monument Planned for
 C0mmem0ration of President

Alexandria, Va, July 1.-Witl
 the turning of the first sod on a beau.
 tiful spot on the outskirts of Alexan.
 dria overlooking the National capital
 work has begun on a memorial tc
 George Washington which will be a hitting companion piece to the Lincoln
 Memorial at Washington.
 The edifice, stately temple in. spired by Greek and Roman architec.
 ture, is being erected by the combined
 efforts of all the Masons and Masonic
 orders in the United States, and will
 be tribute to Washington, the man and Mason. It will be two hundred feet from portico to observation plat rounded by an extensive landscaped garden to be known as George Wash ington park. It is expected the memorial will be completed in from four to five years. The cost will be approximately s2,5o0,00o.
 Constructed of snowy marble and white concrete. the columned struc- ture will tower high above the river and will stand out from a background of densely verdured hillsides, fitting tribute, visible from miles, and within a short distance of the nations shrine, Mount Vernon.
 Every Mason has been asked to contribute a dollar toward the fund, and already more than $700,O00 has been collected. Additional pledges bring the figure to almost s1,600,Oo0. Masonic orders and individuals con- tributing s100 toward the fund will be placed upon the honor charter roll to be kept among the temple archives.
 The building. according to archi- tects, will be after the style of hero memorials placed at the harbor en- frances of ancient Greek and Roman cities. It will be erected on ridge 250 feet above the Potomac, and from its tower, 200 feet higher, grand panamora of the city of Washington will lie under the observers feet, as we'll as of the country bordering upon Mount Vernon, so loved by Washing ton himself
 Pilgrims to the patriots former home and tomb will pass under the shadow of the temple, going either by land or river.
 The first floor will be given over largely to a memorial hall, the con- manding feature of which will be a heroic statue of Washington. How ever. as the memorial as whole will be dedicated also to the memories or ether great Masons of the country, there will be available to the grand lodges of each state space in the hall in which they may en- shrine portraits or other tributes to Masons whose deeds place them be- side the first president.
 Such men as Paul Revere represent ing Massachusetts; De Witt Clinton, New York; Benjamin Franklin, Penn sylvania Henry Clay, Lewis and Clark, Blair, Randolph and many others have been suggested to be re- thus as prominent history making Masons.
 The temple will be the active lodge quarters of Alexandria Washington lodge, No. 22, A. F. and A M, of which Washington was the first mas ter when it was lodge No. 3s. Other rooms surrounding the atrium will be given over to the uses of grand na- tional bodies of the order. At all times, except when used in ritual by the Alexandria lodge, the entire temple will be open to the public.
 Above the hall, which will rise in clerestory from the ground floor, will
