There's a heap of common sense to be- found in the most unexpected places.
 George Dyer is.a colored man--sc Golfers" tells us-who operates the sluice gates of the Lake Drummond canal at Wallaceton, Virginia. He is perfectly satisfied with his station in life, a fact which may be deduced from his observations. But what inn presses us most about George Dyer is the directness with which his mind travels from one point to another. For example. he says:
 Tt ain't no use tryin' to be what you ain't. The only hope for the negro in this country is to give up tryin' to be a darn poor imitation of q white man and be just the best possible coll ored man.
 If we could all take George Dyer's homely philosophy to heart and or ganize our lives on it, this world would be more pleasant place for folks to live in. To give up trying to

ny WAY OF BEING cHEERruL

Herbert Knox smith sends tht Shivers up and down our editorial spine.
 The gentleman from Pennington dolefully prophecies that the world will be at war again. in forty year. and civilization will be destroyed. The lessons of the conflict just closed will be forgotten and we will revert to the status of the barbarian, calling upon horrifying gas appliances which will kill the populations of large cities within few hours.
 It Is terrifying picture. We hope MT. Smith Is wrong and VIC hope MT Smith hopes Mir. smith is wrong However it must be admitted with great regret that MT. Smith is partly right, although he has probably ex- aggerated to a certain extent to shocl, the people into realization of what may be possible if the world again casts reason aside and hurls itself headfong into mad vortex of war No PoIlyanna platitudes, no Coue- isms can blind us to the fact that the fuse is sputtering on the shores of the Dardanelles. Perhaps Mir. Smith and the rest of us will t have to wait

 While the Water Commissioners have taken decided stand against cutting of ice at this point, it would scarcely be proper for them to refuse al bids since the common council has enormously we believe. decided to al- low such cutting. But 1t would be quite proper, and wise indeed, for the bidders to be made to understand that the rules embodied in the contract will be strictly enforced, and that a break ing of any of those rules, or n slight Ing Of them will be the signal for an order to discontinue cutting ice on Shuttle Meadow Lake, This should be impressed upon the minds of the oper- ators and the Health authorities should have unanimous backing in en- forcing the contract to the letter

"BLI-FFING IT oUTp

At Yale they are penalizins stu dent for making a guess at the an- swcr to a question--if they see he is merely guessing. A question is asked. The student does not know the answer. He guesses Yes" on the theory that he has a ffty-hfty chance of being right. Of course if his answer is wrong the examiners may be pretty sure it was guess. Therefore he is given a minus mark which must be made tip by a correct answer to an- other question instead of being con- sidered as having no effect upon his mark at all--the old custom.
 The wisdom or folly. the fairness or unfairness of this method is under discussion. Many people remember the admonition of an irate father, when remorscful son or daughter stood silent before him and heard him hurl questions at the offender and they shout. angrily, Say something why don't you say something?" Is this the best method in life? Should q person say something when under ross-examination? One may also re- member meeting persons who always have an answer to the question pro- pounded. They know immediately how to spell word about which they are asked-and half the time they are wrong. One remembers the lawyers who can tell a friend what the law is on any subject without moments consultation of authorities. Their cases are often thrown out of court. And still there is the certain knowl- edge that the man or woman who is never quite sure" never will succeed.
 The best thing that may be said about the new system of penalizing guessing is that It puts premium on honesty If no person in the world stated as a fact something that was not a fact, there would be infinitely less sorrow, unhappiness and tragedy in the world. And so it may be said that, if the examiners are quite sure the answer was pure guess and noth- ing clse--if they are infallible, in other words-perhaps the idea is a good one. But be it said incidentally that no human examiners are infalli- ble. And so we are about where we started.

LINING UP FOR FIGHT

In the new Congress, recently elect ed. which succeeds the present one, as already has been explained, there are, in both houses. groups of members practically unconnected with either big party, though elected on the Re- publican ticket.
 It was foreseen from the first that these members Would join forces to a sufficient number to throw the ma jority either to the Republicans or Democrats, as they chose.
 This forecast has been verified. The Progressives, as they are known, have met at Senator La Follette's call and are shaping their plans.
 It is taken for granted that, in re- turn for the aid they will be able to give, now to one. now to the other of the regular parties, they will insist on help in carrying out their own politi- cal plans.

ROBERT J. COOK

An editorial in the New Haven Journal Courier, written by one who has associated intimately with Bob" Cook in the latter's days of working for the interests of Yale on the water, and since, tells in a most sympathetic way of the man who has died, leaving name that will always be associated with Yale rowing in the most splen- did way.
 A student of rowing in it's scientific aspect, Robert J. Cook gave to Yale athletics more than the cold. practical results of that scientific study. His influence, his athletic standards spread from his particular field over all the out-of- door activities of the university. Cleanliness, Awholesome1ess. sports manship dominated him in his treat ment of sport. An outside" coach would have been to him an unheard of calamity. It was his duty and the duty of men situated as ne was, 10 fight for hiss S9'lege as the men he inspired learned to fight
 In this era of salaried coaches and athletics not far removed from com- merciai taint, it is inspiring to remem- Der the spirit of sportsmanship and devotion that Bob" Cook gave to Yale--that the memory of Bob" Cook is still giving to Yale although that spirit seems, at times, to fade. When athletics at Yale and at the other great universities are again i'm pregnated with that spirit, then will come athletics great day. It will be due. in great measure. to men like Robert J. Cook.

RING THE FIRE ALARM

Chief Noble of the fire department makes timely suggestion when he says. in effect: "In case of fire, ring in an alarm from the nearest box.' It is 50 obvious that this is the proper thing to do that the chiefs remark seems unnecessary. But facts prove otherwise.
 At factory fire Monday night an attempt was made to combat the flames through the medium of the fac- tory fire department. Fortunately, the Chief was in the vicinity and seeing the lurid reflection in the sky, sum- moned the city fire department through the regular channels. Devel- opments proved the wisdom of his course as the flames had gathered great headway by the time the fire men arrived. Had they been called when the fire was first discovered. the damage would probably have been small.
 Factory managers should instruct their night watchmen to ring an alarm from the nearest box the mo- ment fire is discovered. The danger of confagration during the day is minimized by the presence of train- cd ire-fighting crew but at night it is Intensified by the absence of that crew.
 Tn factory fire there is more at stake than the property itself. Thou sands of men, women and children are dependent on the continuous opera tion of the factory. It's destruction by fire would cause widespread financial distress and mental suffering.
 Tn case of fire. ring in an alarm from the nearest box.

 This Is the measure designed to give governmental financial aid to shipowners, in order that 1t may pay them to keep merchant vessels on the sea under the American flag.
 The bill met so much opposition that the majority in its favor was only 24. though there arc 167 more Re- publicans than Democrats In tho low CT house of this Congress.

pIyERrING TRAFFIC

The action of Chambers of Com merce in favoring the building of cer- tain new roads that would divert traffic from the centers in Meriden and New Britain. raises a question. Such bodies represent the merchants, certainly. They advocate what the merchants desire- Certainly the mer- chants want new roads if those roads will attract more people to. a city, But do they want those new roads if those roads did not lead directly to the 'centers:" do they want them if those roads would not only attract more people to the city but would. also.. divert the traffic that now comes di- rectly to the centers, where their stores are located, to points at some distance from the center?
 Locally there is opposition to mak- ing the east and west sides of the park one-way streets. Merchants do not want any of the traffic which now passes their stores to be diverted away from those stores. Quite possi- lbly they cannot be blamed unless they see that greater comfort in doing bus iness about the center, which comfort would come with one-way streets, would attract more people to the cen- ter to do business and more business could be done with comfort in short CT space of time.
 It would seem that people would realize the increase in efficiency that would come with general adoption of the one-way street system, at least until in the dim future all streets are made wide enough to take care of the multitude of vehicles that will pass over them. The same theory makes advisable new straight roads. speed ing up in world where speed means wealth in many instances. The posi- tion of the Chambers of Commerce on the matter of these new roads indi- cates that the argument of attracting more people to a city wins over the objection raised to diverting traffic. Perhaps the same argument will win the fight for one-way streets in New Britain.

"pURE WATER,

The Herald appreciates the com mendation of Pure Water" for It's stand on the matter of cutting ice at Shuttle Meadow lake. Such approval makes persistent and often thankiess efforts in the interest of better health for the community. less difficult.
 In fairness to the Health authorities however. the fact heretofore stated in these columns that certain rules are to be embodied in the contract to provide as far as possible against contamina- ton of the water, should be repeated. Those rules are aimed to prevent, by means of sputum cups for the men and through other means, the ex- creta of men and horses from con- taminating the ice as far as possible. The Herald does not believe however. that any human precautions could

PUSHING DAUGHERTY
 CHARGES

Congressman Keller has aid before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives detailed charges attacking Attorney General Daugher- ty of President Harding's cabinet
 Keller some time ago began against Daugherty an impeachment proceed ing----in other words form of ac- cusation designed to cause removal from his position of public official against whom the accusation is di- rected, of course assuming that it is made good.
 The case primarily grew out of the federal court injunction secured by Daugherty last summer against the railroad men on strike at that time. This is mentioned again, but the charges also mention other abuses of office for which Keller asserts the attorney general is responsible.
 Such notable men as ex-President Taft and President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor are rev ferrcd to by Keller as among the wit nesses he will call.
 Daugherty denies all the charges

The usually well-informed Hartford "Courant" is guilty of misleading error of omission in its editorial column today, saying:

 The Herald" takes pleasure in call ing attention to the fact that the sav- ings banks in New Britain, generally speaking. have exceeded the 1 per cent rate for the past few years.

GREEK NOTABLES SHOT

The government at Athens has shot five statesmen and a general for get ting Greece into the war in which Turkey beat her recently. The act shocked Europe. England even broke diplomatic relations, say ing civilized governments did not kill public men on account of policies which had failed. Some critics say the incident will have a good effect anyway. as it will make statesmen more careful in fu- ture about getting their countries into war. However, the suspicion fingers that it wasn't for engaging in war but for getting beaten that the six were shot.
 The victims included three ex-pre- miers minister of war and one of foreign affairs and the commander of the defeated army.

RADICALS FREED BY
 PARDON

Governor Small of Illinois has granted pardons to William Bross Lloyd, millionaire, and to IS. other men who were serving pententiary or jail sentences for violations of the state anti-syndicalism law, syndical- ism being sort of politicosocio o-eco- homie philosophy best represented in this country by the l. w. w., of which, however, an individual does not have to be a member in order to entertain syndicalistic views.
 The pardoned men had previously appealed their cases to the Illinois supreme court. which decided against them. One member of the bench, however. Justice Carter. disagreed with the others. referring to the law under which the convictions were se- cured as war psychology" which, he said, was all very well in war time. but very short-sighted in time of peace.
 Small, remarking that these men are not criminals" declared himself in accord with Justice Carter.
