 Seen in this light ana forgetting how the plan will affect the chances or Alderman Paonesaa or Joseph HalLpran or any other candidate the decision Of the local democrats to adopt the primary system for the se- lection of its nominee for the mayor atty is good. It is unfortunate that the peoples will cannot be consult cd more thoroughly in national poll ties when q president is selected, The fact that 1t Is not so consulted does not detract from the wisdom of con- sultng the will of the people when it may be done. This is possible in New Britain, at least; the democratic leaders are to be congratulated for having decided to do so.

A DUBIOUS HOLIDAY

All over the country mothers, sweet hearts, wives should prepare for strange absences on the part of sons, swains, husbands for a few days some time within the next year or so. Perhaps considering present day con- ditions, husbands, swains and fathers should prepare for similar mysterious disappearances by wives, sweethearts, daughters about the same time.
 Employers may expect requests for "a few days leave of absence" from employees and employers themselves may, about the time of this vital period of few days, think is neces- sary to take "business trips" away from home
 It will be mysterious time, this period of a few days which will come in a few months according to reliable reports Little may be written about it as yet but one thing is quite certain the inland of the country will be deserted and large coast cities will be over populated, temporarily. Temper ary illness, also will prevail, but the sickness will not be serious and after the period of a few days is over the country will resume its normal course it's people happy in remembrance, per haps, but its people possessing an awful headache.
 For, be it known far and Mide, sometime within the next few months France will send a ship to anchor just three miles out at sea along the coast of the United States and on this ship will be vast reservoirs of the choicest of wines and liqueurs of France. These will be delivered free to thirsty Americans, but those who would partake must travel to the ship for such enjoyment. Loud will be the cry in some quarters: "Vive la France'-until the morning after.

TIT. KALKOWSKI CASE

The dismissal of the suit against Klemens Kalkowski for alleged dam ages resulting from thes death Of Louis Wrinkle suggests d novel legal question. Of course some breach Of duty on Kalkowski's part had to be shown before he could have been held responsible for damages. The question arises what is saloonkeepers duty under the prohibition amendment?
 As general principle it is good law to say that if the entertainment furnished by place of amusement is likely to cause injury to a patron directly or indirectly, eff it is con ceivable that such a place would be allowed to exist the proprietor is supposed to know Of that possibility and to take care of a patron who is injured by the amusement indulged in at his place.
 If, however, the character of the d any injury, the proprietor is not sup posed to exercise any more watch over his patrons and their welfare than that demanded of the ordinary in dividua who secs a man in distress.
 No pedestrian could be held in dam ages for a mans death because it is shown that he saw, while walking along the street the man lying in the gutter whom he might have carried to doctor, but whom he did not so aid.
 In the days of the legal sale of liouor one who claimed damages be- cause of the death of a man resulting where, it might be shown the man might have become so incapacitated as result of partaking of the saloons amusement" that he was more liable to injury, would have better chance of recovering such damages. It might be shown that duty rested upon the proprietor of a liquor dispensing sa- loon to exercise more than ordinary care to see that nothing serious hap pened in his possibly dangerous, though legal, place of entertainment
 The law, however, taking judicial notice of the prohibition amendment. cannot consider the proprietor of saloon today as being the proprietor of place any more dangerous than an ordinary store.
 Kalkowskis being thus relieved of certain responsibility that might have been placed upon him in pre- prohibition days, therefore, tends in the direction, legally, of sustaining the propriety of the action of Judge Malt bic in taking the case from the jury as a matter of law.

NIEDIAEVAL

A man accused of the murder of his half brother was confronted by a dummy dressed in the clothes of the slain man, in a Montreal court. The dummy was used to illustrate points in the evidence introduced by the crown.
 Americans are glad this did not happen in court in this country. The event is reminiscent of medi3eval times. It is certain that the appear ance of the dummy would have some effect upon the accused. If 1t could be known positively what sort of ac- ton an innocent man would take upon seeing what seemed to be the dead man there before him in flesh, or if it might be known what d guilty man would do under such circum- stances, there might be reason for re- sorting to this uncanny exhibition.
 But one innocent man would act one way, another, another way; one guilty man would do ono thing, an- other guilty man would conduct him. self in quite a different manner. There is no human way of judging from the actions of a man under such circum- stances whether he Is guilty or inno- cent. The only possible result of such primitive methods, reminiscent of days when superstition was rampant, would be to give the prosecution grounds for arguments which would be entirely irrelevant, and giving the defense the same weapons.
 The incident is referred to in order 10 emphasize the fact that no man, in any position Of life, in any trouble or joy is to be judged by what he does or says under the influence Of surprise, consternation, fear, bewilder- ment. To judge man fairly condi- tions which will induce the greatest calmness should be sought that the true man may be seen.

COMMUNICATED
FRONLAN EX-SERVICE MAN

An open message to all ex-service men of New Britain
 Do you remember the stirring call 1918 and 1919? Do you remember the glad hand you got when you left and do you remember the cheering words of Gov Holcomb on your re- turn back, after helping to win the war when he yelled out through a megaphone, Boys the State is yours. :"
 Oh boy, them were the happy days But try and get them now.
 The saviours and heroes of the na- tion during the World War are the slackers and nuisanccs of today-tell the big guys and they'll tell you and they aren't afraid to tell the eX-serv- iceman to his face that he is trying to ruin the country by asking for what he deserves-n bonus. And, why do they, without fear or apprehension dare to do SO. Why do they laugh at you when they do something against you that they know is an insult to the bravery you showed on the other side?
 we men WHO StINeu duu lOuSnl and suffered thought we had fight on our hands at that time. But no --here in our fair city of New Brit ain, with its large factories. its schools, churches. public buildings, quiet, peaceful and serene-you have the greatest battle of your life,
 That battle Is against the big men and the bosses ot the city and the state, the men who say you are a nusance-a joke as a body of ex- service men of $500, with the power of right-you are myth, a make believe.
 Ex-servicemen, out of your dug-out and shell hole and over the top, show therl what you have done across. but instead of weapons of steel, use your natural weapons of strength and force and a determined effort to make yourselves recognized as a factor in the civic affairs of your city,
 The only way to get it Is to unite register your strength as unit of BOO ex-servicemen and in the con- ing primaries and election, show them the power of your concentrated ef- fort by voting, by getting your friends to vote--back the man that backs you. Even worm lights when he has to, are we duds in our battle of recognition, or are we high eXplo- sive shells? You-exserviceman- and your friends can give the men that think they control you their an- swer on the 31st of March and on the 11th of April. What do you say up and at them-show the spirit you showed during the World War. De mand to be recognized, not as myth but as force of orderly, respectable, law abiding ex-servlcemen.
 Yours for unity amongst ourselves

PRINCE OF WALES
 ON ELEPHANT HUNT
Exciting Scenes Arranged for His
 Royalty in India

Hf
 Mysore, India, March 2O.-The wild elephant hunt witnessed here by the Prince of Wales was one of the most picturesque and exciting of the nu- merous events arranged for his enter tainment while on his tour of India He saw only the final stage of it but that was the most exciting part of the hunt.
 Mounted on an elephant and ac- companied by the Maharajah, the prince was ar interested spectator when 2S wild inhabitants of the jun gle were rounded up and driven into an enclosure to be fettered.
 Select Herd For Chase
 The herd was captured by the kheddah system, the usual method It involves relays of thousands of heaters who force the herd selected fer capture to follow a particular course, generally lying on the usual line of march, until the elephants nre driven into an enclosure about 400 yards in diameter There, surround ed by ten-foot trench, the animals can be kept indefinitely. Fires are IlSlLeu OH lud OutSldS lC prevent them from crossing the trench. Ff- nally, the herd is driven into small enclosure, only 40 feet wide where they are fettered.
 The whole operation, from the time the herd Is first sighted and tracked until 1t is finally impounded in the kheddah, takes several weeks
 The wirl herd of 2S included bulls and cows and four calves. The lead CT was heavy tusker who gave fierce resistance to capture. Two of the animals had been in captivity before and were still wearing parts of the shackles they bore when they escap- ed. These also gave considerable trouble When the captives had been securely bound, they were led out and picketed in the forest.
