IS RENAL FEaRET-T,o

The pause in the Mudania confer ence, generally thought to have been caused because of the interiection of politics into barley of military men. suggests the possibility that Renal is fearful that delay in the evacuation of eastern Thrace may give strength to the Greek forces which will make IL difficult to overcome them if the necessity arises and bring a collision between Greeks and his own men whom he may not be able to hold in check, It may be for this reason that immediate evacuation is demand ed by the Turks, rather than delivery of Thrace within the thirty days as promised by the allies.
 If one may give Renal credit for vision and calm wisdom it may well be that he sees no better time will come for the Turk in which to make settlement, than the present. All that he can gain he would gain now. lie would not risk delay which might precipitate war which would

JUDGE GAFFNEY.

As a rather pleasant picture In a gallery of more or less crude works of political art comes the news of the nomination by the Democrats of Judge B. F. Gaffney for judge of probate, and the assurance that he will be endorsed by the Republicans. The pleasant atmosphere comes from the fact that one man is considered on his merits for position which should be given on the merits alone, entirely free from political consid- eration. The air of crudity surround ing the other pictures in this gallery comes from the existence of condi- tions which seem to leave merit of the men and the character of the office to be filled quite out of the question.
 It is a relief that in one matter at least Democrats and Republicans alike, and all factions within each party seem to agree on the character of the man and the character of the office; they concur in the popular belief that this man in this office makes for harmony and justice. Judge Gaffney is to be congratulated that there is this feeling The people are to be congratulated that there is a Judge Gaffney.

NO BANK BJrRGLARIES.

One of the interesting by-producti of the bankers convention in New York Is the report Of the protective agencies of the American Bankers Association, submitted ct the conven- tion. That report states that in- creased activity and cooperation on the part of public officers and the courts in bringing about prompt trials and the inflicting of proper penalties upon the guilty, has made the banks of the country more free from bur giaries, robberies and hold d-ups.
 It is satisfactory for those who live } in this state to be able to note, too, that while there were 406 burglaries or attempted burglaries of banks re- ported for the period between Sep tember 1, 1921 and August S1, 1922, perpetrater in 36 states, there were none reported from Connecticut. One hundred and forty-six banks reported losses of nearly a million dollars from hold-ups in that period, and again there were none reported from this state.
 Burglaries, robberies and hod-ups, as distinguished from crimes like em- bezzlement or betrayal of trust, are relics of older and less civilized days. The situation in regard to the lack Of these crimes of violence against banks in this state would indicate that Connecticut, if not more law abiding, is at least more civilized than many other states There is no implication, of course, that there were other crimes against banks in this, or other states. and it is believed New England, in spite of Ponzi, is more safe from bank criminals than other parts of the country. At least we may feel sure that our banks are safer than those in other sections in this one regard at least, and we may encourage continued activity and cooperation on the part of public officers and the courts" in the knowl- edge that such activity has shown good results.

THE "DRY" DECISION.

Attorney General Daugherty has rendered a decision holding it illegal for American ships to carry liquor anywhere and that the eighteenth amendment to our constitution and the Volstead act prohibit as unlawful the possession and transportation of liquor on foreign ships while in American territorial waters. Amer ican passenger ships sailing for Eng land, for instance, cannot carry :. liquor, and foreign ships plying in our waters cannot have liquor on board after they have crossed the line which limits our Jurisdiction, the three limit
 No matter what the effect upon American shipping will be, and no matter how foreign ships try to evade and do evade the effect of this deci- sion, we may at least say that we are no longer hypocrites. It has been said many times that the only way to test a law is to enforce it prop- erly and then let people see how they like it. No real test can come when the law is evaded. Prohibition was adopted in the United States No one denies that there is great feeling against the results of the amendment and the enforcement act. Now comes . step, right and proper in itself but which will make that opposition stronger. The full effect of law must be known before it may be pro- nounced good or bad. This decision hastens the time when the feeling for or against the amendment and the volstead act will be crystallized. It is good that such time is hastened.
 It is impossible to believe that, for
New Britain herald., 1922-10-07

all time, there will be no liquor served to travellers crossing the ocean. Al ! least under conditions as they are In the world at present this situation cannot be imagined, Those who be- lievc that dry world" will come eventually believe also that such time will come on the ocean, of course But the vast majority of people do | not see a dry world" at present | The vast majority believes that some way will be found speedily to serve | liquor on the ocean even on ships touching at American ports. More over most people believe this will be done legally, that some change will come in the law of the land which will permit it. If this privilege Is given to foreign ships alone they see American shipping bearing great burden
 Whether one believes in strict pro- hibition or not one may be glad that this decision has been made now and that the matter may thus be put to test At least we will be able to say that we are standing by the act Of our representatives who voted for prohibition; that if we made a mis- take, or they made mistake. we are going to take the consequences and that we may correct our. or their mistake if we are convinced any mis- take has been made
 It is said that the decision was inspired by the hope of gaining the support of the prohibtionists for the ship subsidy bill, very dear to the heart of the President 1t would seem that the decision was made, whether the administration wanted it or not, because it was the only deci- sion possible under common sense ah( the law. The ardent prohibitionists may be much pleased over this deci- sion. All men who prefer not to play the hypocrite are pleased But it would seem that in the end this decision will act as a boomerang and will solidify the feeling at least against the Volstead act as 1t stands.

This, according to KemaFs view, would be useless and might undo all the benefits he has fought for and won.
 There comes a feeling of humiia- ton with the news of continued con- sessions to the Turks-and granting concessions seems to be the only way to avoid trouble unless the point has at last been reached where a strong stand, refusal to continue 10 be complaisant on the part of the allies would bring matters to an issue which Renal would not care to face.

THE GOVERNMENTS POWER.

Tt Is utterly absurd, says GoN- ernor Allen, speaking of the Kansas Industrial Relations court at the last general session of the American Bankers association convention, "to declare that the government may pass upon the property and the liberty and the life of the citizen but that it cannot find justice for him in the matter of wages and working condi- tions if he is engaged in an industry upon which the public welfare is de- pendent In this paragraph there is a distinct thought worth following up,
 A mans life. liberty and property are the most vital matters in his scheme of things. Some people dis pute the governments moral right to deprive him of his life under any conditions, but all agree that the proper authority may take or with hold from him his liberty and his property if the public good de- mands it.
 A mans wages and his working conditions are important, but second- ary to those others life, liberty and property. The acknowledged power of the government to regulate these more important matters is certainly strong enough to permit Of its regu- lation of the less important matters If the public good demands that authority may take from him his lib- erty, certainly the public good might demand that authority might regulate his wages and conditions of work where the public welfare was con- cerned, Deny this and one would be forced to deny the right of authority to regulate his liberty.
 In a majority of cases a mans liberty is taken from him legally only in case he is engaged in doing or has doll' SolitIulHs llltRdl. l ne granting of the recent injunction was based on the assumption, or finding, that there was conspiracy to do something illegal and therefore acts might be prohibited which would ordinarily be legal if they were in furtherance of conspiracy to do something illegal. physician may give a certain medj cine properly, If, under ordinary circumstances that dose would help and not harm the patient the act is proper. If, however the condition of the patient is such that such a dose, usually helpful, would in this case bring about the patients death. the act becomes criminal The end sought would be illegal the act becomes illegal.
 The remark of Governor Allen may furnish the basis for valuable reason- ing on this subject, it's notifications are of tremendous import.

OUTLAW" COAL PRICES.

When an emergency existed caused by the rail strike the government secured a restraining order preventing workers from doing things that might be lawful in ordinary circumstances but which, as the purpose contem- plated was unlawful according to the court. might be prevented.
 The question naturally occurs why might not the government be as sue cessful in securing a restraining order preventing the independent coal oper- ators from charging s14.50 a ton for coal at the mines; a further restrain ing order preventing them from hold ing their coal for these prices. Under "ordinary circumstances" perhaps it would be quite lawful for them to charge what they wanted to. Under ''ordinary circumstances" it is lawful for strikers to urge others, peacefully. to go on strike. But the court held that under emergency conditions  strikers might not urge others to strike. Under emergency conditions has not the court power to prevent the independent operators from charging exorbitant prices for coal at the mines?
 Governor Lake has wired Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania hoping he will take steps immediately to bring the mine prices of independent oper- ators under control. The court came to the aid of the people when workers were alleged to be making an emer- gency more critical. Can not the court come to the aid of the people when the independent operators are alleged to be profting by a critical condition of affairs?

THE OBSER YER Makes Random Observations
 On. the City and Its People

Next Saturday will be the 4S0th
 anniversary of the discovery of
 America by Christopher Columbus,
 His achievement should encourage
 those who are beset with fears of
 their own failure, who lack confidence
 In themselves and who suecumb to
 the deprecations of scoifers
 l When Columbus set sail he was
 ridicued by the learned and the
 rabble as well. So-called leaders of
 thought tapped their foreheads sig
 nincantly, indicating their lack of
 faith in the navigator's sanity.
 It was freely predicted that his
 caravel would sail just so far and
 then tip over the edge into an abyss
 of air-because the earth was flat.
 History proves that Columbus was
 right and his critics were wrong.
 The average man today Is deterred
 from entering upon an undertaking
 because he Is afraid that his friends will laugh at him-that is why he is
 an average man. Sometimes he holds
 back because plan which he be- | lieves feasible has never before been
 executed.
 The world is crying and has always cried. for men who fearlessly go ahead in spite of rdicule, who have the courage of their convictions and l smash against the worst barrier in the path of progress, the laughter Of | invertebrates who haven't gumption enough to try anything themselves and who howl down anyone else who ! tr;ac <o do dacept
 It takes real he-pluck to set sail on an uncharted ocean, It also takes he-pluck to set sail on any business
 adventure where inexperience is apt
 to be a handicap. Columbus had it. Have you?
 Action of the fire commissioners in refusing to permit Fireman Stanley Rozanski from acting as court inter- preter is not meeting with entire en- thusiasm by the public. As all know, the court room adjoins the cen- tral fire station and a door connects the two. Thus, in the event of a alarm being sounded the interpreter could be at his post as quickly as his brother fremen who might be en- gagged in a game of cards or standing on the corner watching the crowds pass by. Certainly, Fireman Rozan- skis work as interpreter does not lm- pair his value as a fireman, nor does | it interfere in any way with the de- partment or it's efficiency: while it gives that individual chance to earn bit of money on the side and at the same time furnishes the court with a desirable interpreter
 The fire board is accused by many of overlooking some things and exag- gerating others. For instance, 1t is said that no comment has ever been made about any of the firemen who may see fit to do a little automobile mechanical work on the side and, It
