oR,rs,Ncn Nrwsnoys' MORALS

The New Britain Social Workers an organization composed of delegates from the different welfare organiza- tions of the city. met Wednesday eve ming and decided to take steps to raise the morals Of New Britain newsboys, an account of which meeting was printed in last evenings Herald. Inas- much as the newsboy has now be- come the target for the New Britain reformers it behooyes the Herald to come to their defence. If an oreaniza- ton could raise" morals the inference is that morals are low, This is placing the newsboy of this city in a bad light indeed and it is time that the undoubt- cdly well meaning and just as un- doubtedly misinformod conference gained some real light on the subject that 1t would remedy.
 The Herald has something over 200 newsvenders and, as whole. there can be found no brighter more intelll- gent class of boys in the city. They are peddling their papers and receiving the money for the same from their patrons, getting q business training that will stand them in good stead in future years, as it has stood many h prominent business man. some of them, q very few, gather about the office in advance of press time. They make it inconvenient for passerbys oc- casionaly. what group of boys would not? There may be an occasional one who is not up to snuff in his use of language and has faults. But why judge the newsboy by the criterion furnished by those individuals? If the Social Workers wish to reform the morals of individuals they may well do so, there are individuals in every walk of life whose morals are low But they might as well announce that they are going to raise the morals of the ministry because there have been a few backsliding ministers as to say the same of newsboys as d class. 1

ARBOR DAY

Arbor Day is one of sentiment. cer- tainly. The telling of the story of the Judd Elm Tree at the Central Junior High School exercises-the story of a tree planted one hundred years ago testifes to this fact.
 But Arbor Day will become a day of practical advantage as the years pass Observance of Arbor day will be emphasized more and more. By the time the trees planted by the school children and the officers of the Civic League today are grown to the occasions which chambers of com merce and similar organizations will encourage energetically For the trees are needed. Trees and the wood there from will be needed more and more will have no use for wood, bricks and mortar, paper, etc, and beauty will be a thing of the past
 It is good, therefore, that Arbor Day is being celebrated. Many of the an- cient days of ceremony of the past arelosing their power to interest. Sentiment may be dying. But the value and utility of Arbor day will not grow less within the lives of those now conscious of life. And after all the practical advantages of observing this day by the planting of trees for future generations have been mentioned it is not unseemly that thought be given to the veteran trees of New Britain. With sentiment that should not be decried.

"NO OPPOSITION"

Reports come that the Swiss riding master" of middle age is "peeved" be- cause he receives no reply from his youthful brde-to-b be to his cable mes sages.
 The impression has been given out that there is practically no opposition no serious opposition-on the part of the young girls relatives, to the match, although the difference in the ages of the man and the undoubtedly charming girl is great.
 It is quite. possible to believe that great wisdom has been shown by said relatives in their treatment of the young woman. It is quite possible that q policy of mo opposition" was deem ed to be the wisest course to pursue, even granting that the relatives dis approved of the match thoroughly.
 If the young woman is true to her sex and possesses the characteristics generally attributed to members of her sex when at her reputed age, it is ouite certain that opposition would have hastened the marriage. An elope- ment would not have been impossible.

A WIPES ECONOMY

"The average wife of q man earning
 from s2,ooo to s3,0O0 a year spends
 less for clothes than her husband, and
 she is a better saver" comes the in an.
 First, is the lady discussing a wom- an of the old-fashioned type who stays at home and who does not go out to work? If such is not the case a consideration of her remarks would be ridiculous, for who ever heard of a husband, whose wife "has a job," dressing better than such wife? Absurd, with emphasis.
 So, in order to give due weight to the statement of this expert, it must be assumed that she refers to the woman who sees things to do at home and who stays at home and does them.
 The husband would like to assert that she does not spend less that he on dress. It would be a weak asser- ton. So, having to admit that perhaps he spends more on clothes, he would like to say that he has no time to make his own clothes, if he could, and that his wife has "all the time in the world" Another absurdity. She hasn't
 Then the husband would like to declare, with great dignity that he does not waste money on smokes and other luxuries. The only trouble with this wish is that the fact remains he does waste more money than his wife. Well, he would like to say, why shouldn't he waste his own he works harder than she? But he can't say that, for he doesn't and the work that he does is far less trying than is hers,
 So, after all perhaps the husband had best put on his hat leave the veXing affairs of the household behind him, and go to work, firm in his conviction that the average wife of the man earning between S2,000 and S3, 900" is a pretty wise, fine help to him.

PSYCHIC STUDY

The study of the psychic, spiritual ism and kindred subjects, into which there enters more or less psychology, is not to be discouraged, of course. It is q proper field of research for those mentally and temperamentally fitted to pursue the work, The field IS q virgin one, comparatively speak ine-which makes it all the more in teres,ing,
 belong 10 the great majority. who must shun contemplation of these things until their thought is properly directed. Recently is was reported that a man stabbed another human being, mistaking the victim for spirit. The man had been thinking of "spiritualism." Recent reports tell of a girl found in dazed condition. She is said to have blamed spiritual
 ism" for her trouble.
 mere may pc lTuln ullutll HIS these reports, although there may have been other elements and in- fuences at work on both minds. At any rate they are examples of possible cases, and should be noted as such, not merely as interesting matters but rather as real things to be guarded against.
 Those who denounce all study of the mysterious forces about us, cleo tricity, air currents-and, removed from these matters now quite com monplace only by the wall of ignor- ance, the psychic-lack the spirit Of investigation. discovery, adventure, that has taken us cut of the middle ages. But as it is necessary to handle such powerful forces as electricity with care and skill, so it is necessary to use greater care in that more mys- rerious matter of the effect upon the mind brought by contemplation of the psychic.

EXHAUSTING PATIENCE

Granted that Lloyd George is thor oughly convinced that Europe's only salvation economically-and in the Premier's eyes Europe's salvation will come through placing England in the strongest possible position--lies in making it possible for Germany to do business without a killing handicap and in granting Russia some sort of recognition, it is quite possible that his patience is becoming exhausted,
 The attitude of France must ex- asperate him. As long as there was a possibility of retaining the semblance of working in absolute accord with France, Lloyd George would not do the slightest thing to indicate any in- tention of forcing his policy. Suavity and diplomacy would continue to be his weapons. It is possible, however, that the time is not far away when he will take stand that will bring out clearly just how far France will go in her indicated intention to stand along if any attempt is made at Genoa to alter the separations plans as fixed. He may do this to force Frances hand or for his own information.
 Lloyd George does want a modifca- ton of those plans. His long confer ence yesterday with Chancellor Wirth of Germany, is not a cause for this belief but rather cumulative evidence of fact. It would seem that the situa- tion between England and France to- day, as far as the Genoa conference is concerned, is greater cause for anxiety to those who look for results from Genoa, than the situation between the allies as q body and Germany and to those who look for results from Russia The latter countries know they must have help. France, it seems,

WATERWAY COMMENT

Discussing edtorially, the Nauga- tuck election, the Waterbury Republi- can says:
 Following hard on the republi-
 can victory in New Britain, where
 all republican candidates but the
 one for mayor were elected, Nau-
 gatuck furnishes republican vic
 tory that is complete, Every re-
 republican candidate in the horo
 was elected. The result comes as
 evidence added to that supplied
 by New Britain that the demo-
 crats are not going to have
 clean sweep in municipal elections
 in the state this year,
 Passing over the statement that al republican candidates but the one for mayor were elected' it may be observed that this characterization by the Republican that the re- suit of the New Britain election was a republican victory" is the first time, thus far noted, such interpreta tion has been given the election of a democratic mayor in this city.
 There may be, in this city, differ ence of opinion as to how great a democratic victory the election brought but there is l'ttle evidence that anyone questions the significance of the result as showing a decided democratic trend Tn this city no one has pointed to the results as food for much republican nourishment. I'm mediately after election there was con- siderable discussion by republicans as to reorga nizing the party here. Former Mayor Quigley has inaugurated a movement looking to the development of a new organization. These things do not come following a victory.
 Few people have predicted that the democrats were going to have a "clean sweep in municipal elections in the state this year" The Republicans prediction that there will be no such "clean sweep" indicates possibly, some fear of it, rather than a conviction that there is no danger of such calamity"

THE N!EANEST THIEVES

Search is being made for the meanest thieves"
 He who steals pennies from a dead mans eyes" may be surpassed in ab- solute cussedness; the dead man can't care a great deal about those lost pen nies.
 At any rate the thieves who enerted the home of the helpless invalid who was seated in his wheel-chair, and robbed him, have other thieves tied quite firmly to that portion of ship to which is attached the mainstil- have other thieves flashed to the mast" in fact.
 The victim was retired merchant. This fact indicates some means and probable failure to grieve much over the loss of the twenty-five dollars stolen. That makes no differences; the victim was a helpless invalid" The thieves did not harm the victim by physical abuse; that makes no differ ence; the victim was a helpless in- valid" The victim probably did not suffer from want That makes no diff ference; he was a helpless invalid.'
 Those who take advantage of the physical infirmity of others are be- meath contempt. There are no words which may appropriately describe the acts of those who profit by the in- validsm of another whose case is characterized by the awful word helpless"
