THE oRPHAsAGE IDEALS,

An event such as the laying Of the
 cornerstone for the new Polish Or
 phanase in this city Tuesday may
 not be passed over as might a sim- liar affair which marks the real be- ginning Of the construction Of an edi-
 iee 10 be devoted 10 the housing Of material things, no matter of how great value.
 In that new building will grow and develop human souls, Those who have the duty and happiness Of directing and aiding in the develop ment Of the orphans who will spring from childhood to youth and matur- ity there, will have duties more inn portant, more sacred than any other conceivable labor. Those In charge should be inspired by the highest ideals to the end that from them there may come an atmosphere of nobility which Will be absorbed in- stinctiNely by the children over whom they will keep watch and for whom they will care.
 The address Of the Right Reverend John J, Milan, Bishop Of Hartford. impresses one with the fact that every community, large or small, needs a forceful reminder of the necessity for preserving the ideals and stand ards of life which Christianity em- phasizes, The address brings such emphasis together with deeper sense of obligation which all should feel that there are men and institutions whose interest is, above all else, to these standards,sthese ideals to keep them ever before the people To such men and to such institutions and what they represent we owe the for such splendid work as the erection of the new Orphans ge. The debt should not be forgotten. nor should the work thus begun be al- lowed to lose any of the interest for us which will keep it always a strong power in the community.
 New Britain is proud that it holds people so devoted to good work as to make possible this new place where Polish children. left alone in the world, may find love and understand ing and the chance to live and de- velop in happiness-the birthright of | little children.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Imagine the situation which would result if employers should get to- gether and talk over their troubles in regard to the people who worked for them Suppose each should tell of the number of employees who had no consideration for them. the em- ployers. Suppose each should cite in- stances where worker was trying only to "get by, without attempting to consider the employers interest where it conflicted with his own.
 Then suppose these employers were eration for their employees. Suppose they agreed not to consider past faith of their employes. Imagine that the employers should agree among them most efficient. loyal and eager to serve the interests of those who paid IIlSiii llcil "dSCS' alii oGlcci lui ther not to employ any of the per sons so discharged.
 The employes would find themselves in difficult position Their places would be filled at once and, in time, the new workers would become eff ctent as the old and, it is possible, far more loyal to their employers in- terests.
 The New Haven road is employing new men to take the places of those who have gone on strike. The new workers are not "scabs' The gov erriment says the positions were va cant. It is quite possible that the road will get better work from the new man. The railroad has right to feel that it has been relieved of any responsibility regarding the old employees and it is quite possible that no one will suffer except the old em- ployes who have walked out. Con- compilation of such a situation is not pleasing to those who believe that workers are always right and em- ployers always wrong.

STOP IT,

Limiting personal liberty beyond the point which has been already reached, is to be denounced Still, it is time to stop allowing such exhibitions as that which resulted in the horrible death of an aviator in a Chicago suburb re- gently, when he was cut to pieces by the propeller of an arship in try ing to leap from one plane to a ladder suspended from a second.
 The man must have had absolute confidence in himself, in the men who drove the machines and in the ma chimes themselves. But there are men in the world who have unjusti1ed conf- dence in themselves and who believe themselves capable of accomplishing what would be impossible for others.
 If someone advertised that he would leap from the top of the spire of Center church at noon of a certain day, and that he had perfected an invention which he could carry in his pocket which would keep him from being injured, a great crowd would gather to see the performance-bu the police would prevent the person from making the attempt
 Men may sacrifice themselves to science, where there is a chance of escaping danger Scientists have done this often. Only recently a physician died from disease which he knew was killing him because he continued to study the X-ray.

sYsTENlATIZING PLAY

The supervisor of playgrounds has sent out general orders" regarding systematizing the activities of the playgrounds of the city, which are worthy of note, Quite aside from the emphasis laid on the value of a definite plan being followed, reports made and so forth, there are two or three suggestions contained in the general orders that are especially in- teresting and which disclose an in sight into the theory of play that is commendable.
 Emphasize that the sport of the game is in its playing; winning is secondary" Certainly the satisfaction of doing thing well and as nearly perfectly as possible, is great. What if luck is against player; what if he happens to be pitted against more skfiful antagonist? If only the player improves his own game and gets something out of the playing of it, the game has been worth while.
 Aim to have the boys and girls get more than fun out of the game Strive for the deeper lesson-lessons in truthfulness courage. unselfshness, cooperation, fairness, quick decision" What good does it do a player child or adult to win or to have apparent success at a game if it is gained at the expense of these things? The great good, the satisfactory thing and the thing that counts, comes from the development of these qualities which, developed. will bring the greatest of all successes-the achievement of strength, moral and physica-of character. ..
 Certainly, if general orders" such as these are observed the playgrounds should prove to be fertile fields fo~ the nourishing of the finest of ideals and habits.

LOOKING AHEAD.

It has been suggested on other oc- casions that the time to consider mat ters in connection with an event is immediately following its occurrence The time to discuss the wisdom or folly of certain things pertaining tc the annual Fourth of July celebra- ton, is immediately after that cee- brAtion. The event is fresh in the mind, the facts are available. Was there anything about the observance of the day that was wrong? Was there anything about it that was wor- thy of emphasizing to the end that more may be made of it another year ?
 The bad weather on this Independ- ence day had it's effect, of course The wet prevented the public llre- works display, and, no doubt, kept many people from shooting off fire crackers" who would otherwise have done so. There was less automobil- ing than there would have been had the weather been fine.
 There is one matter that stands out in considering the happenings of the day. There were comparatively few accidents and yet, in this city alone there were more than a dozen acci- dents which were publicly reported and there were probably others which did not gain publicity. Among those injured were people of mature years.
 There were few accidents attribut- able to the celebration of the day. But why should there be any acci- dents?
 Full sympathy is felt for the spirit which calls for noise on this day. It is almost impossible to conceive Fourth of July without noise. But must the noise be accompanied by danger? One hesitates to recommend the abolition of the sale of frecrack- CTS, toy pistols and other noise pro- ducing implements to children. Lit tie sympathy is felt for the person who frowns and deprecates all Fourth of July youthful fun simply because of the disturbance it makes.
 But one may advocate most em- phatically the need of restrictions on the manufacture of fireworks and the sale of such as will iniure the users or others. Certain noise-pro- ducers proved perfectly harmless. These should be ascertained, and their use permitted. Accidents re- suited from the use of other explo- sives. The sale and use of them should be prohibited.
 So comparatively few were the &C., cidents on this last day of celebra- Hon that it would seem a good chance |s offered for the investigation of the relative safety of the various brands ,f noise producers used. The dan ungous ones should he denounced; the 1

 In connection with his charges, the Federation of Labor gave out ex-

 more mosquitoes on the isthmus than
 ever before since sanitation days. .
 The Star and Herald says that the Ancon hospital is crowded with mala- ria patients.
 It is time that the American public awake to the fact that the wonderful sanitation program which General Gorgas installed in the canal zone has been destroyed" said Dr. Flushing. The special Panama Canal commis- sion which reported to the secretary of war in October, 1921, said that the canal zone was too healthy and that should be reduced until the death rate was increased to that of certain cities in the United States la ,{o% Nf +, employees that the death rate was low largely because sick people were re- turned to the United States.
 Tn my opinion those responsible for present sanitary conditions in the zone should be held directly respon- sibe for any deaths that occur there above the average for former years.
 American skilled workmen are leaving the canal zone as fast as they assurance of employment in the United States This condition is the result of the commissions work. Wages of workmen were decreased, while salaries of executive officers were increased. Charges for rent, heat, light, hospital care and santa ton. formerly given free as induce ments to keep workmen on the job, in accordance with the policy of all employing Americans in the tropics, were ordered restored by the secretary of war. Many Of the workmen cannot possibly afford to pay these charges, of which sanita- ton is part"

STRIKERS CONTROL
 SLATER SITUATION

Clear Town of Workers in Railroad
 Plants and Stop Trains To Search
 For More.
 Slater, Mo, July 6. (By Associated Press )--Railroad officials today awaited word from Gover1.or Hyde before making further plans for re- opening the Chicago and Alton shops here from which crowd of more than 800 strikers drove IS strike breakers yesterday
 After strikers had cleared the town of strikebreakers, had drawn dead line around the shops and had es- tabished guard posts they settled down.
 Eighteen strikebreakers were taken from the shops in automobiles to the edge of the town and told to beat it' and keep going. Ten more were placed on Chicago train. Trains going through Slater were watched by a crowd of 150 strikers who took command of the station and search ed trains.
 negro porter on sleeping car where the strike breakers were quar- tered was threatened with hanging by the crowd, a railroad official said, and on his knees pleaded for his life. Three men were forced to leave Stat CT after they had expressed sent- ments antagonstic to the strikers.

ing on the part of the Lithuanian
people and the Lithuanian govern
ment. The people of Lithuania are
entirely different in many respects
from other people that inhabit what
was at one time Russia. In the first
place, the Lithuanians are by nature
and disposition easy-going and liberal.
They do not share the hot tempera-
ment nor the vanity and selfishness
of the Poles. Then, too, they have,
even during the Russian regime, been
depending to very large extent upon
the Jews for work that requires skill,
superior intelligence or education.
And what is more, they have always
shown themselves grateful to the
Jews for the spirit of service and help
fulness which the Jews have mani
tested towards them. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that the Lithuanian people
will now suddenly turn against the
Jews. What will be necessary, how
ever, for the Jews of Lithuania to re-
tain the respect and confidence and
liberal treatment on the part of the
Lithuanian Government will be con-
tinuation of the service they have'been
rendering to the Lithuanian people
and at the same time, constant vigi-
lance that will enable them to retain
the rights which have been accorded
to them.

tions emulate it, will put the seminary

THE JEWS OF LITHUANIA
- Asxz

The news that DR.. Soloveichik,
minister for Jewish affairs in Lithu
ania, has resigned from the cabinet
because of the anti-Semitic measure
which the Seim recently passed is both
sad and cheerful. 1t is sad because
Lithuania has since the war been the
only country among those that the
allied victory made Independent to ac-
cord to the Jews full rights and just
treatment. And it is indeed sad to
think that even this country would
now, through Polish propaganda, be
receptive to anti-Semitic measures.
Yet, the news of DR.. Soloveichik's res
ignation has cheerful aspect, for it
shows that some of our men feel suf-
ficiently their Jewish responsibility
when placed in high positions to sac
rifice their own advantage and adj
vancement upon the altar of their
people.
Unfortunately, this is not always
and not even usually the case with
members of our race and faith who
achieve political or social success.
In many instances the Jew who
reaches the top rung upon the lad
der of success is so DESTROYS of being
distinguished from the rest of his
people that he is ready to sacrifice
their interests in order to retain the
high standing which he has attained.
In some instances, there is even a
conscious and deliberate effort made
to keep other Jews from attaining
similar success. 1t is possible, of
course, that such persons become so
blinded by their success that they
really come to believe that they are
better than the rest of their people
and forget the debt of gratitude they
owe to their own ancestry who trans
mitted to them certain traits to en-
able them to achieve the very sue
cess which they regard as reward
for their own merits. But be the
reason for this popularity what it
may, the fact remains, notwithstand-
ing the contention of Ford and his
ilk that all Jews are united in con-
spiracy against the world, that when
the Jew grows big, he not infrequently
turns his back upon the very people
and the very faith that endowed him
with certain traits and capacities
which enabled him to attain success.
For this reason, it is indeed encourag-
ing to find a man like DIR. Soloveichik
disregarding his own interests when
the interests of his people are at
stake.
AS far as Lithuania is concerned,
the anti-Semitic measure that was
recently passed is undoubtedly but
transient and short-lived backslid-
