AN OLD SUBJECT.

It may seem useless to keep dwell- ing upon a point that is obvious to all. Continual complaining of a situ- alton may become tiresome when the rectifying Of it appears hopeless. But it is not hopeless. Constant agi- tation is bound to bring results. Those results may not come imme- diately; few signs that the continual harpins on matter has accomplished anything may be seen. But upon such foundations are built the most solid institutions. Without long, sin cere preparatory agitation few great accomplishments have been achieved. So the continual farpins'' is worth while.
 Strangers to community-almos any ommunity-often wonder why tha most intelligent men, the most honest men, interested in all about them, nevertheless keep out of active politics. The word reform" is ab- horrent to many of them, involving as it does the idea Of a parading Of ton may be absent from the reform er's' mind. The reason such men, not 'reformers'', but men who have certain standards as to honesty, re- frain from entering politics, running for office or actively supporting can ddates for office, is because they realize that activity in politics in that community involves certain compro- mises with ones conscience and in- wolves the trusting of men upon whom they are not sure they can rely.
 New Britain probably is no worse or no better than other communities in this regard. The men in politics here are no better or no worse. They feel they have to meet conditions They feel they have to do as others do No one Is strong enough, or believes himself strong enough. to demand that the ordinary rules of truth and honesty shall be observed in all that is said and done in con- nection with him. He does not feel he should forbid mental reserva- tions' in promises. He feels that he may make mental reservations" in his promises as they are made to him.
 Discuss politics with men in city hall when politicians gather. Ask why this man or that man--in either party-was nominated, The reply will invariably be, if the conversation is a confidential one, that it was ex- pedient, that the man could poll votes that he had done something to deserve recognition or that he is a good fellow" Plots and counter plots will be explained-and it will all be done in d spirit of perfect frankness, the politician taking it for granted that his explanations are satisfactory.
 Practically never is 1t said that such man was given place because he is the man best fitted for that place.
 As surely as this country is the fine country 1t is there will come a day in local politics and in national politics waen men will be placed in important positions because they de- serve them on account of ability. honesty, desire to serve their locality their country and the people of their

WASHINGTON WATCHFUL
Keeping Close Eye on British situation. Having Thought of Debt Payments.

Washington, Oct. 20-Developmen in the British political situation fol- lowing the fall of Lloyd Georges government continued to hold close attention in both governmental and diplomatic circles here today. Outside of the immediate effect already felt in Washington by the postponement Of the coming to this country of the British debt commission, however. the possibility of any further result as concerning the relations of the two governments it was said, was to be gauged only in the light of develop ments and the success of Premier designate Bonar Laws efforts to form a new cabinet.
 Although 1t appeared doubttul 10 officials today when the political sit uation in London would be sufficient ly clarified to permit the sending of British commission to this country to discuss the problem of refunding that country's war debt to the United States there was little doubt that the negotiations ultimately would be car ried out practically on the basis al- ready mapped out.

Tomorrow Catholic University ex-
poets the hardest base ball contest it
has had this year in it's clash with

to keep it's clean record of victories.
While the Brooklanders are enter

Annapolis to play St. Johns.
Wednesday two ball games and a
track meet are scheduled. Pittsburgh
appears at Brookland against Catho-
lie University and Hampden- Sidney is
to be Gallaudets opponent at Kendall

test probably between c. L. and Pitts

from scratch.
Thursday Georgetown is to try its
hand at two games. having one sched-
uled in the morning with Pittsburgh
and the other with Holy Cross in the
afternoon. Catholic University goes
out to College Park to try conclusions
with Maryland in the first of the two
annual games in which these schools
meet. Maryland SO far has won only
one of four starts, while Catholic u.
has six straight to its credit.
University of Georgia and Mary

Friday.
Princeton. Lafayette, Georgia. and
Washington and Lee will be repre-
sented in contests here Saturday
against local teams. Princeton plays

Besides these competitions, George
town is to engage in a telegraph

Charley Moran, Catholic University
base ball coach, undoubtedly stands
among the best three diamond men
tors handling college squads. This
year he has at Brookland no better
ball players than have worn the uni
forms of teams that have met c. L.
and yet the record stands six vic
tories for the Brooklanders and no
defeats. Much of MoranS success is
the result of his ability to judge just
how much should be taught to COL
lege team. That may sound just a
bit paradoxical, but it is true that
success IN coaching college nine
depends just as much on what is
not taught as on what is taught.
