 The idea that the worker with his hands is the only worker deserving Of recognition has been carried to an extent in Russia that seems to us ridiculous. The matter is cited as a caution against the danger of allow ing the Soviet idea to take root, and as a warning of the degree to which it may be carried. Authoritative sources report that the law in Russia  has just been changed so that the right to vote will be denied Persons who employ hired labor for the pur- pose of profit: persons who live on unearned increment; private dealers, traders and commercial agents, clergymen, monks and all employees of religious cults"

NEW LEGION LEADER

The selection of the National Com mander of the American Legion is q matter of importance to all the coun- try. The general public naturally Kho" little Of the men as they are chosen. But the people know much Of the men who form this body of ex. service men. The people know that most of them crossed the ocean to fight under our flag that most of them suffered either physical or men, tal hardship or both; that practically all of them have demonstrated in tho most conclusive way their eagerness 10 do their duty whatever it might be.
 And when the representatives of this great body of men have selected one to be their Commander. the neo. pie generally are satisfied that such a man Is worthy of the post Honor goes out to him immediately. Much is ex- pected of him and great are the possi- pllities or nlS position.
 Alvin M. owsley, of Texas. has been selected as the National Commander of the American legion for the coming year. With the honor comes conf- dence in him and the wish of all that ne VIII reflect the best sentiment of the men who served. Practically all we know of him is told in nara graph which has the right sort of ring, He resigned a position as dis trlct attorney at the outbreak of the war to attend the first training camp open to volunteers" It is not difficult to think of him possessing the right spirit as he says to the ex-service men of the country, Let's Go"

THE, NE WHOSPITAL

Today is being laid the corner stone Of the addition to the New Britain General hospital. Men and women oc- cupying the highest positions in the city and men and women occupying the humblest positions worked for it., gave to fl. The best known Of those least known may find health and life in H. A hospital represents the high est ideal Of mans earthly thought for man.
 All the people in this city and many in neighboring communities rejoice that the corner stone is being laid. They all helped make it possible. Those who will have the management of it will have a sacred duty toward all of them-and toward the sick and suffering everywhere who might have need of it. For selfshness should never enter the minds Of those in whose charge this splendid expdession of love and charity and kindness and sympa- thy will be The hospital should stand haven for rich and poor-for all whom it may help. The best feel ings and thoughts of men and women go into the building of it. There should be the laying of the corner ctp
 for the care of the sick and injured, bat the laying of the corner stone of renewed determination to make life better. more healthy and more happy.

CHANGING OPINION.

Two clergymen, speaking in New Britain within the last few days, have shown the recognition by church au- thorities Of the changing viewpoint of the people. And when churches take action inspired by d new knowledge of peoples viewpoint it is evident that that changed opinion has made a great impression.
 Only a few days ago a minister of the gospel stated that religion was becoming more practical and that old superstitions were being eradi- cated Recently a Bishop of the Episcopal church pointed out changes which had been made in the wording of the prayers of that church and in the ceremonies which would not have come were it not for grow ing realization of the importance of meeting the practical and inteli- gent spirit of the day.
 The news tells of the changes in the wording Of the Episcopal mar riage service made necessary because of the altered status of women in the world. In Bishop Acheson's interest ing address other thoughts were em- phasized and suggested, all tending in the same direction. While a Bish- op' of the Episcopal church and a minister or official of another church may be far apart in their theology. Bishop Acheson and the minister who spoke of the getting away from a me- chanical idea of the future, were not far apart in thought on one matter. The idea of place in the hereafter where bodies would burn in very practical fire was deprecated by the member of the Baptist denomination, while with equal conviction the idea Of very tangible place of torture in the time after death was questioned by the prelate of the Episcopal church. Carrying the idea of the do- ing away with old superstitons a lt- tie farther, Bishop Acheson disavowed a belief in the literal meaning of the words of the old Episcopal service of baptism that would indicate a baby was born in sin." No man, he in-

THE SOVIET IDEA.

There is still d feeling among a certain class of radicals in this coun- try that the Soviet idea is all right This feeling is possessed by those who think that a man is no good unless he produces something that can be taken hold of, carried about and used-a tool, a table or chair some thing that can be eaten They can not see that the man who thinks and plans and executes or orders certain things done which result in wealth for the world does actual work and deserves recognition as a worker
 That feeling should be dissipated All honor to the man who produces with his hands something tangible

Congratulations to New Britain.


 The laying of the corner stone of the new building for the New Britain General hospital. which takes placs Saturday afternoon of this week. constitutes noteworthy event. one that calls for cordial commehdation.
 Of all the varied public, benetae- tions that flourish in these modern days the hospital takes precedence. This institution is one of the things that sharply dircrentiates ciyiliza- ton from savagery or mediaevalism. It renders to the public the greatest most practical and direct service possible. That the need Is great is shown by the fact that it always out runs hospital facilities. New hospt- tals are being built in many towns and the established ones gre con- stantly enlarged, but demand keeps ahead of the accommodations.
 The city of New Britain has most honorable record in this respect. It has long maintained an excellent and helpful hospital one that has rem dered splendid service. which it will soon be able to increase because of the generous aid given by citizens to the new building project.
 We extend congratulations to the officers. physicians and nurses of the New Britain General Hospital and to the citizens who have made the new building possible.

THE CORPORATION COUNSEL,

The corporation counsel of a city Is the attorney for the city, not for the mayor Of that city, The common council of New Britain manages the affairs Of the city: 1t represents the people of the city; the name 'city fathers is particularly applicable For that reason the common council should name the corporation council, as the situation is at present. rather than the mayor. Were we living un- der an autocracy it would be quite proper for the chief ruler to name his legal adviser We are not living under an autocraey-theoretic at least. Until the people are ready to decide that they cannot manage their own affairs through representatives selected to attend to the details be- cause of the practical difficulties that would result were the people to try to meet regularly and discuss those details, they should at least select their own representative to appear for them in courts of law and to ad- wise as to the proper legal steps to be taken in matters affecting their city
 This suggestion, namely making the office of corporation counsel appoint i've, will be considered by the char ter revision committee. That com mittee will also consider the sugges- tion, previously commented upon, to have greater supervision by the com mon council over the school board The arrangement whereby the school committee has such extensive powers has been criticized as ''undemocratic' and bureaucratic. Certainly it would be far more undemocratic to take the selection of the peoples legal repre- sentative from the representatives of the people in the common council and place it in the hands of one man.
 Of course there will come the argu- ment that corporation counsel ap- pointed by the mayor would carry out the mayors policies with greater cooperation with him than might a corporation counsel selected by the common council which might have a majority notsin fuli sympathy with the mayor. This argument, however, is destroyed when it is noted that the corporation counsel of city is in of- flee not to carry out anyones policies but to advise the city as to the law in matters in which the city is inter- ested. The law carries out no mans policies. It carries out, sustains and emphasizes its own rules regardless of the policies of any man.

REVERSE ENGLISH.

The popular impression of an Eng fish lord" is that he would he o,its apt to patronize or speak patronizing- ly of an American movie actor, and rather 10th to express thorough ap- proVal of American moving pictures, It is interesting to note that it was the American actor who spoke pa tronizingly of the lord" and not the reverse, and that the latter was frankly astonished by our movies as shown to him by Charlie Chaplin.
 Charlie Chaplin, speaking of Lord Mountbatten, who is in Los Angeles, remarked, Hes such a nice, simple boy The orthodox English lord could imagine nothing more humil- iating than to be called nice, simple boy" by one who occupies the position held in this country by hu- morous Charles.
 Strange as it may seem there is still the impression that the vernacu- lar of English aristocracy is ridic- ulous. While the people Of England use terms which seem strange to us, they are no more peculiar than some Of our pet expressions. The picture of an English 'lord" appealing to newspapers not to quote him as using some of the outlandish expressions popularly attributed to them is an amusing one. AS the Englishman would say, the reporters quoting him as saying "wot, wot, wot?" would be most decidedly "spoofing."
