If the 5000, o0O.ooO bonus bill passes the
Senate and by any chance becomes a
law, Senator George P. Mclean of Con-
necticut will be the man primarily re-
sponsible for imposing this great burden
on the people. 3
opinion has been forcefully expressed
against the bonus on every possible oc-
casicn. and in spite of the fact that
the full Congressional delegation of this
State upheld that view. Senator Mclean
a member of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, broke the tie in that committee
and thus caused favorable report on
the bonus bill =.
Senator Mclean is a candidate for re-
election this autumn. That fact is Sig
nificant. It Is also a significant tact
that wherever a pro-ponus Senator or
Congressman has come UP for reelection
he has been defeated. Making all due
allowances for legitimate differences OF
opinion Senator Mclean is not repre-
scnting his own State.
New Haven Journal Courier (Inde.
pendentp--TiIne will clear away the con-
fusion which now enveiops the attitude
of Senator Mclean of this State on
the bonus bill. There has been no
mystery attached to his general atti-
tude on that subject. He has written
frankly to several of his fellow citizens
stating that he favors the proposal and
should support IT. His vote fayoring
the McCumber bill. which he had. on q
previous occasion opposed. made 1t pos
sible to report it out of the COMMITTEES

mined later.

ever motives of political expediency
capsed Senator Mclean to reverse his
attitude toward the McCumber bonus
bill and vote to report it out, the people
OF Connecticut. will not generally con-
slider that those motives have governed
him. He would have been well advised
to have placed the sentiment of the
people of his State above any partisan
appeal made to him by Chairman Nc

The London Times.

The change in ownership and direc-
ton will, we are told, restore to the
London Times the title Of THE Thun-
derer.' Is that possible? Is it de-
sirable?
The Times never thundered SO loud
iy, or comma anded so much attention,
as in the days and under the direction
Of John Delane. He was an unusual
man. and in both journalism and poll.
tics exerted an unusual influence. He
was something new and rare in Eng
lish public life.
But those days have departed and
so has John Delane. There is a new
England, a new London and. most
decidedly, q new world. and English
journalism. having helped to make
the general change, is perforce con-
forming to it.
London newspapers are more nu-
merous than in John Delane's time.
And they are thoroughly up to date.
AS news collectors-world news-they
rank among the most enterprisinG in
the world They are mighty power

But. powerful. as they are. not one
Of them thunders. or aspires to such

of day for that sort of thing.
Reacting to the time of John De-
lane is quite impossible. Going
forward on lines traced by Lord North
cliffe may not be wholly desirable.
Whatse shall see probably is an Eng
lish newspaper published in England
in British interests. supporting the
