THE MENTAL ATTITUDE

People who smile at the suggestion that the attitude of mind makes no difference as to how a person feels, are ignorant of the facts. The time has passed when psychological matters are treated as a joke One does not have to be a believer in mental healing to know that ones mental attitude does affect one physically. Almost any physician will tell you that if person is convinced he Is sick he Is apt to be sick and actual sickness may develop: that anyone convinced he Is subject to colds takes cold more easily than one who refuses to believe he suffers thus.
 This winter the general mental at titude Is that we will suffer from the cold Coal will be difficult to get and will be expensive. Coal will be saved. Every member of the family will be- lieve that the one who runs the furnace is trying to save coal and is keeping the house less warm than
 
 usual. If this mental attitude is nourished it will actually take more heat to keep us warm than it would if we thought less about the coal shortage. Keep members of the family from feeling of the radiator and stop talking coal shortage, and the troubles of the furnace man, father or brother or hired man, will be less serious.
 In this connection an incident in the news in interesting. Possibly it is far fetched, but 1t conveys the right idea. Complaints of the cold were made in Sing Sing prison. An employee began to make a noise as though heat were coming into the pipes The complaints grew less numerous. The complainers thought heat was there and felt cor respondingly warmer. This is not a joke; it is not theoretical dream. No new mysterious creed is involved in the matter at all. It is plain psycholo- ey understood by all who have had experience with the habits of the mind and their effect upon the body. Don't think you are going to be cold and you will feel half as cold as otherwise you would. This suggestion will mean cash to you if it is adopted.

branch banks throughout the country will have n tendency 10 strengthen back stock. Incidentally 1t is to be noted that this business mark Is the highest within two years. The indica- tor has been approaching normal gradually and sometimes slowly. but the direction has been continuous with few set backs.
 The establishment of branch banks, mean the formation of new banks, The large city banks will, rather. pur- which are already In existence. This will not only boost the price of the will strengthen the larger banks shrough the establishment of the chain store system in banks made ad- visable from the banks point of view by the loss of patronage from rural tiotii'NS alttlidohl dpOh lnF of the Federal Reserve system, which has proven so satisfactory.
 Even Mir Babson, identified with the interests" by habit of thought and seeing big financial trasactions more or less with 'big interests |" eyes, questions the democracy of the idea Of amending the national bank system of branch banks in surround ing cities and towns. But whether or not the plan Is democratic. it is evil dent from the statistician's reasoning that no harm, but rather good, will come to the banks if the plan is car ried out.
 Broadly speaking absentee owner ship. the chain store and all business conducted along these lines, as the chain of banks would be, are not good for the individual. But in the matter of banks there is this difference, that the strength of the banks is a help, not danger to the individual who Is successful and whose financial capi- tai is part of the wealth of his con- munity. Strong banks make a strong community. There is no need to wor ry over the prospect of this planned strengthening of the city banks at present.

BRYAN ON PROHIBITION

The campaign to make this country dry" was successful for many req sons Opinions differ as to those methods and the influences which brought that success. There is sno good in discussing them at this time
 But the success of that campaign was not brought about by statements which offend a persons intelligence such as that attributed, to William Jennings Bryan recently It is said that he declares the liquor interests are not fighting to repeal the 18th procure legal sale of light wines and beer is but camouflage. "The real in- tent of the liquor interests he is quoted as saying, "is to turn the na- ton over to lawlessness"
 There are sound arguments in favor of prohibition. The wives of some men who used to come home drunk and without a penny in their pockets with which to buy shoes for the children or food for the family can give some of those arguments from tired lips just beginning to know happiness with temptation removed at least partially. There are sound arguments against prohibition as now enforced. Poor widows of men killed by wood alcohol can tell some of them, and wives of men become criminals under the temptation of the demand for liauor on the part of so-callcd "respecta ble" people and others who honestly be- lieve they are merely asserting their right to freedom in securing what they wish to drink
 But such statements as that at- tributed to MT. Bryan are not sound arguments and will do the prohibition cause no good. No interests" liquor or otherwise, want lawless county A lawless country brings about the destruction of the property of inter ests,'' be they liquor interests or inter- ests of other sort. Attribute the worst of motives to the liquor interests if | one will, and it is still easily seen that | they want the sale of light wines and been because it would enhance the value of their business.

MONEY ABOVE All

It seems that there is considera ble speculation in Washington whether or not the retirement of Lloyd George and the resultant confusion will delay the coming to this country of the. Brit ish commission to discuss the refund ing of the war debt. It would be terri ble indeed were there to be any delay in this matter. It involves vast sums owed to the United States How awful it would be if the matter were to be sighted and if England should not send its commission immediately to assure us formally. through this body of men, that it intends to pay us all it owes.
 There seems to be no anxiety in Washlngton--at least no news of such anxiety has come-lest the change in the government and the retirement of Lloyd George might bring a less de- termined attitude toward the Turk. There seems to be no fear expressed lest the English representative to the Near East peace conference may feel he is not backed up by a government determined to hold the Turk strictly to the arrangements made to protect the minorities in the Near East. 10 prevent wholesale massaeres and out rages during the period of rearranee- ment there. There seems to be no anxiety on this score. It would seem that little importance is attached to the question as to whether or not the allies are going to desert absolutely the Christians in Armenia That is a sentimental" affair, 1t is to be pre- sumed, while the matter of the debt is essentially practical
 But it is believed the attitude of England in regard to the Turk will be of interest to many people in this country. And that is one of the best things one may say about the people in this country.

He then spoke of what Is being done by the outside world to help these people, He said that the Con- gregationaists are the only ones in America who are attempting to bring to bear forces on the spiritual situa- tion.
 He then told of how the people over there are beginning to take hold on the spiritual work themselvtA how the Armenians are establishing churches of their own, how natives are also taking over the missionary work He told of the great faith of those Turks and Armenians who be- come Christians, how all kinds of tor ture would not make great many of them renounce their beliefs.

SPEAKER INCLINED
 TO BLAME ALLIES Rev. ]. E. Morell Talks on Near
 East Situation

The problem in the Near East is not result of physical causes. Vt is spiritual problem" said Rev. John F. Morell in a talk on the East ern situation at the morning service of the First Congregational church yesterday
 Some people say that the trouble over there should be stopped, that the government should take hand in it. he said. "Others say that the suffer- ing should he stopped, that the pub lie should be appealed to for funds, If the people think that we should take a hand in the trouble then our foreign policy should be made one of the issues in the next presidential campaign"
 A Cause of Spirit.
 He then went on to explain that the cause of the situation is a cause of spirit. that the problem in the Near 1 East is one of spirit.
 The speaker told of the storm cen ter Asia Minor, and of the two "sore spots," Siesia and Smyrna. He said that Smyrna was occupied under the guise Of allied forces in the interests of peace, but it was really Greek oc cupation in the interests of Greece. The Greek army was put into Asia Minor with the knowledge and con- sent of the Allies. Moreover, they were put into Asia Minor to enforce treaty which, as yet, had not been published, according to Dr. Morell The trouble in smyrna was the result Of national aggrandizement.
 Turkish Nationalists.
 Against this spirit of aggrandize- ment and imperialism the Turkish Nationalist movement was organized in 1918, this also with the knowledge and consent of the Allied forces. An or der was issued to the effect that the British should watch closely, but not interfere with this movement. Dr. Morell said that this organization was started for the purpose of having an organized body of Turks that could be depended upon, to be at the Sul- tan's command should the terms of the treaty of peace not be satisfac- tory.
 By the treaty of peace smyrna was given to Greece. The Turks appeal ed to the Allies but not attention was paid to the appeals. So the Turks de- cided that If they wanted to keep for their own what belonged to them, they would have to fight for it. And fight for 1t they did. It was at this time that a new thing was born in Turkey. This was a national spirit on the part of the Turks, thing that had never been seen before, the speaker said This spirit is not in terpreted by the cut-throats and rob- bers who are busy over there; it is interpreted by the sane men who are planning a popular government for the country.
 He then spoke of the Armenian question He said that the bitterness to Armenia lies in the crushing of an aspiration The Turks are In the midst of a struggle of the spirit. There 'are those radicals who say, Turkey for the Turks" And there are those moderates who say. Hive and let live. We need Armenia" The ques- ton is, Dr. Morell said, which shall prevail
 Armenia Divided.
 Armenia is divided on the question of spirit. Some see the future of the country in political independence Then there are those who are oppos- ed to this idea altogether

LET COAL FACTS BE KNOWN

The Mayor has requested discus sion of coa prices, Many in this city believe they are too high. Naturally those thus believing blame the coal dealers. Many in the city believe the coal dealers are justified in charging what they do. They blame the com plainers and assert they do not know the facts.
 A person is generally popular who tries to get the price of anything re- duced-popuar among those who have to buy that thing, If the price Is reduced those instrumental In gain ing that reduction, or starting the aeitat ton, are given the benefit If the price is not reduced the agitators are not blamed They did the best they could.
 The coal dealers say they paid high price for coal and have to charge high price to get out whole. Others lower price in other cities and ask how about it?
 The coal dealers position is pretty we'll understood and has received the sanction of the local fuel administrator and the state authority. But still there Is complaint. It is time the facts are made known by representative of the complainers The dealers may protest forever, Those who denounce them will still complain. In simple fairness to all both sides should be heard. Evidently complainers do not believe the dealers. Perhaps the com plainers-and we are all more or less among that number though some con- plain and still believe the statements of the dealers and the fuel admins trators-would believe the Mayor were he to issue a statement regarding the facts. He is in a position to know those facts If he should find that the coal dealers were right and fair it would hurt him, politically, perhaps with the complainers were he to come out and say so. If he found the deal CTS were not right and were profteer- ing, his statement would hurt him in other ways perhaps. But he should have the courage to give his best eff
 
 tion. hearing both sides and then is sue a statement based on the facts as politically be what they may. The facts about the coal situation ought to be known if they are not known al ready.

SCHOOL MATTERS

The editorial published last Friday In The Herald, to which "A Citizen" takes some exception in his commun- ication of Saturday, was written to meet condition not theory. That condition" is that there is criticism of the school board in the matter of some of it's expenditures. Some ac- tion will probably be taken by the charter revision committee and then, possibly, by the people as represented in the legislature, It was for the pur- pose of making such action as wise as possible, if any action or change results, that the suggestion of sym pathetic cooperation between the school committee and the common council, with the aid of a committee in the council, was made.
 Those favoring limiting the powers of the school board will take excep- ton to "Citizen's" statement that
 
 been spent (by the scho committee) they have been spent wisely and full value has been received in the pro- duct turned out as can be seen in the splendid graduating classes. "The cri- tics of the school committee will in sist that the fine gra duating classes would have been just as fine, and the the desks in a certain room, for in- stance. had all been purchased from the same manufacturer instead of from three different sources.
 The Herald is willing to concur in the sentiments of Citizen" in regard to the value of progressive, fine schools and teachers. It reiterates it's previous statement that the personnel of local school committees usually is splendid. The Herald believes so thoroughly in education that it would prefer to see little extravaganza in the management of the schools rather than a parsimony which would handi- cap those intelligent men and women who are giving and who have given and who will Five valuable time to a wise handling of the situation But the Herald sees a greater danger that the iApiffea of fhe echool ror,, n, ittaa,s r,., ner of handling affairs may secure
