II TOO ARDUoUs.

When Presi MT Harding in a homely talk to mem
bers Of the National Press Club said, Z never find my
self with my work completed: l don't believe there Is
a human being who can do all the work there is to be
done in the presidents Office" he was but stating after
one years service what has been the experince of at
least all his recent predecessors. Daily he Is called on
to decide questions of grave import. AS the executive
such duties cannot be avoided, but much that under
custom Is thrust on the president should be handled
by others. 1t should not be necessary that be make
the decisions as to the appointment of postmaster at
Podunk Corners. He should not be- troubled by appli-
cants for minor Offices. If his time is taken up in listen
ing to recommendations for appointments. naturally
the period which he can devote to administration OF
vital matters is diminished by so much.
There are duties which cannot be delegated and
such would fill all the time which a president should
give TO his Office. That few presidents have long sur
vived their terms certainly indicates the strain TO which
they are subjected. OF course a president should not
seclude himself from the public. One needs to know
what the people are thinking and talking, but Que
should not undertake to do more than that which the
human body is capable of enduring. A corporation
head does not trouble himself about anything which
can be left to a department head. A president should
be permitted to adopt the same policy.
Should the PRESIDENT attempt to shift some Of the
responsibilities placed on him by custom 1t might raise
of such a movement The public likes to have the
president make a show of himself and when anything
is done they want it done by the president personally,
but even such demands do not justify overworking him.
There is a limit to time and effort and the trivial acts
should be subordinated to the important. These con-
ditions are not the experience of Pesident Harding
alone. They have hanlpered others also. Putting into
effect a remedy for thu situation might not be easy but
1t viii have to be done sometime.

A NATIONAL QUESTION.

In their opposition to the Dyer anti-lynching bill,
which has PASSED the house, certain Democratic SEN
ators are raising the partisan and sectional issue. al
leging persecution of the South by the North. 1t is
not the fault OF northern Republicans that the majority
or mob murders take place In southern states where the
Democratic party is In control. Plans for much more
drastic action affecting southern states have been pro-
posed only 10 be discarded for fear of the appearance
Of unfair discrimination against a particular section of
the country. 1t has been urged that the representation
in congress OF those states which have persistently
denied political rights to a large proportion Of their
citizens should be reduced In accordance with the four
teenth amendment TO the constitution.
All that the Dyer bill proposes is the punishment
of local officials for failure to prevent lynchings or to
make reasonable efforts to prosecute mob murderers.
felony. with life imprisonment as the maximum PEN
atty A county in which a ~lynching takes place must
pay $4,000 to the victims relatives. 1t has been found
virtually impossible to obtain the conviction Of lynch
ers in g state court. Admittedly the governors and
governments OF southern states have had it within
their power 70 render federal action unnecessary. They
have had plenty of warnings that some such action
would have 10 be taken. Now when they see it coming
they raise the cry of invasion of states rights and
sectional and partisan persecution.
The Dyer bin bears equally upon all the states.
Those which enforce law and order and uphold respect
for their courts have nothing to fear. Not all officials
OF states where l~ynchings have occurred are Indifferent
to their responsibilities. But even the most conscen-
ticus state officers seem helpless in the face Of local
public opinion Evidently the time has como for the
federal government TO step in and restore the reign of
law in these regions. It is not a question of partian-
ship. but of the reputation OF our country. No other
civilized nation is stained by such a disgrace.

OUR STUDENT SOLDIERS.

Whne 1t greatly lessened the possibility Of war
the Washington disarmament conference did not obyiate
the need for the maintenance of adequate national de-
fence. The question of reducing land forces was not
seriously considered. The tendency in our own and
other countries is toward reduction of standing armies.
This policy renders all the more necessary the provid-
ing of an auxiliary force of trained citizens that can
be called upon in case of emergency.
This is one Of the purposes OF the military train
ing camps association. which was formed a couple Of
years ago to extend that original Plattsburg idea. Last
summer it induced the war department to make the

Washington. July 1-Representativ Lea (dem.. Cab, in a speech in the house yesterday, charged the Repub- licans with efforts to fool the people with bomba Discussing the inves- tigation and prosecution of war frauds, he said:
 For two years during the Sixty sixth Congress the War Investigating Committee cold nave all sorts of charges and get away with it by say ing that a recreant Attorney General would not prosecute proved crimes. The Investigating committee could make reckless charges. but had no responsibility in sustaining them.
 But that time is past Therc is an Attorney General you commend to this Congress. In nearly sixteen months he has not confirmed your charges of two years ago. One of two conclu- sions is inevitable. Were your charges warranted and founded in fact, as you vehemently proclaimed? :? Or is the Attorney General failing to do his duty?"

STATE FINANCES,

Hartford, July 1.-The state s fiscal year for 1921-22 closed Friday with a balance in the civil list funds of S1,193,3s3.31 and with no outstand- ing notes to meet. This is a vast im- provement on the condition of the treasury at the close of the previous fiscal year when the state owed money borrowed on short time notes to the amount of s1,250.o0o and with only $s0. 900 on hand to meet them.
 The present bonded indebtedness of the state is $16,291,100. The sinking fund is increased every years by about $1,000,000. The increase comes from the revenue derived from the invest ment of the fund and from the sum of 35o0,o00 appropriated by the general assembly. The sinking fund by its annual accretions will be amply able to pay off the entire bonded indebted ness of the state as they mature, in- deed 1t will be more than able to meet the bonds on maturity.

NEW SECRETARY FOR
 LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS
Miss Lois Shaw Will Come to New Britain During The Month
 Of August

The resignation of Miss Emma Bell as the executive secretary for the New Britain Girl Scouts became effective today. Miss Bell will be succeeded by Miss Louis Shaw of Hartford, who will come to this city the latter part of August and will officially begin her work here in September.
 Mrs Leon Sprague. scout commits sioner, feels that she has done well in securing the services of Miss Shaw, who is a graduate of three national training camps and who for four years was a leader of the scouts in Hartford. Miss Shaw has also worked under Marion Bishop, of the Manhat- tan district of girl scouts.
 Plans are being made by the local scout organization for the beginning of training classes in this city early in October. With the aid of Miss Shaw it is expected that many com potent leaders and team captains will be turned out in New Britain.
 There will be girl scout troop connected with each of the primary schools next year as well as with the Junior High schools and girls who pass the tests at the training classes will be appointed leaders of the troops in the schools. There will be no change in the troops at the various churches.

 Frankie looked about and discovered that the demand for clothes was greater than the supply. His pile of apparel had diminished rapidly as he donned his garments, With a blouse and shoes and stockings he had ex- hausted his store. There were no pants. Not a pant. Feverishly he searched, so feverishly that he lost even the rag which had served to cover a portion of his anatomy. Dis erection was thrown to the winds, Frankie paraded freely in blouse and shoes and stockings. no pants. Nor were they ever forthcoming,
 Pantless Frankie sat upon a bench to bewail his fate. His mothers re- ception of him received due consid- eration and generous flow Of tears. We suppose the next thing that oc- cured to him was his handiness for that reception and from thence his mind turned to the consideration Of getting home. Then it was that true horror overcame Frankie. His many ly pride was hurt when he contemplat- ed his reception while on his way across city. Pictures of heartless police men leading him pantless through the street suggested themselves. The pool on the hill faded into insignif- canoe besides the teardrops that Frankie shed. Truly it was rough day for Frankie. Thoughts of home and mother paled-it was the getting there that Frankie minded now.
 Frankie was saved, as it happend from the trip he dreaded. though he was hastened to the reception he un- doubtedly received. Drawn by the anguish passerby took Frankie home in his machine. under an automobile rug. and thus he was saved from an ignominous appearance on the streets. Frankie was aided, the world went on again.

The tragedies of childhood, 1t is said, are more enormous than those of
 later life, But the story of young ster who went for a paddle in the pool on the hill in Walnut Hill park yes
 terday afternoon, while it may be
 ludicrous, was such a one that few adults would care to enact the stellar role It was tough day indeed, yes- terday, for one whom we shall call Francis Reginald Van De Puyster be- cause that is distinctly not hts name. And, hereafter, for brevity's sake we shall dub him Frank.
 Frank is a manly little fellow Of perhaps 10 or II years. He has the pride of the average male Of more years-and the tendency to bewail real or imaginary misfortune Of the ten year old. Frank did not like the heat yesterday afternoon and it oc- cured to him that there was a spot in the city that offered relief the same being the wading pool at Wal nut Hill. Little mattered it that there was a walk of over a mile to get to the pool. Frankie had independence Hdlpl' anu Nhs duliN uSlOIlltu lO being about the streets alone. He ac- quired rag that would pass as pair of trunks-on a youngster-and pro- ceeded to Walnut Hill. Quickly di- vesting himself of one blue blouse. one pair of pants, two stockings and two shoes and donning the rag he was prepared for a long afternoon in the water. All of which went well enough. Many children were about, much splashing was in evidence. the rays of the sun were turned to kindliness by the coolness of the water. The world went we'll with Frankie.
 Evening approached, the shop whistles warned Of meal time and home. Reluctantly Frankie withdrew from the water, proceeded to the spot where his clothes were cached. The bathing trunks were cast'aside and Frankie proceeded to adorn himself as mankind should be adorned when passing through the city streets-al- most.

OBJECT TO NAME OF LIQUOR DEALERS
Local Druggists to Go After Mis-.
 represented Medicines Also

New Britain druggists object to being classed as liquor dealers and are cooperating in q national move ment to elevate the pharmaceutical profession so that they shall not be so chased.
 At the meeting and organization of the New Britain Druggists Associa- ton, at the New Britain club yes- terday when the local drug store pro- prietors and managers 'affiliated under the Chamber of Commerce, an &C., count of which wns published in last nights Herald, this question was thoroughly discussed.
 F. J. Garyin Present
 P. J. Garvin of Middletown, secre- tary of the Connecticut Pharmaceuti- cal Association, addressed the gath ering. He dwelt for some time on the new drug law and many of its points He spoke on general drug conditions throughout the state.
 Discuss Term "Liquor Dealers"
 A general discussion of the term liquor dealers of vendors, as applied to druggists followed. The movement on foot by the National Pharmaceut- cal Association, through public senti- ment to raise the ethics of the profes- sion and eliminate the use of the above term, meet with the full accord of all local druggists, it is reported.
 When a physician prescribes liquor to a patient as medicine, that is not selling liquor as a beverage. and we resent the term liquor dealers, said J. w. Marsland of the Dickinson Drug company this morning.
 A wide discussion of public health and benefit and the uplift of the same, by a strcter regulation of adulterated and misused drugs. MT. Marsland has on his desk a sample bottle of so- called Citrate of Magnesia," which was purchased in the city recently, and which contains instead of citrate, epson salts. ...
 Misrepresentation of articles in this manner, is one of the things the new organization expects to control and possibly eliminate in this city.
