AIlN ICE

The saying Advice is cheap does not mean necessarily that all is cheap advice some may be valuable though it costs nothing.
 IL is to be hoped that Mayor Elect Paonessa will not consider as "chcap' the advice, given in the best of faith and with the desire to see him do the very best thing for the city with the result that he will, thereby do the best thing for himself, to make haste slowly"
 One thing MT paonessa is probably considering already is the matter of appointments. The people look to him to make radical changes in city hall, where it is within his power. The ples faith in him by making many changes in the hope of improvement. There is danger here to be guard ed against
 There are men in appointNc offices and on committees who have served the city well. In some cases they have served at salary lower than that of their predecessors. Those have not been raised in ac- cordance with implied promises given at the time the positions were accept

TOURIST BUSINESS
 IS NOW RENTING
Turks Delighted at Arrival Of
 Two American Ships

Constantinople, April 14.-Ameri. cans and Turks were delighted by the arrival here recently of two big American tourist ships carrying to- gether more than 1000 passengers among whom there were said to be more than 80 milionaires.
 Revival of the American tourist business had been awaited here with great anticipation and the Americans from their compatriots connected with relief work as well as from the keepers of Turkish bazaars anxious to sell souvenirs to their visitors.
 One of the ships sailed into the harbor of Constantinople with its band playing 'DiXie," while the Americans in the Near East Relief American flags.
 The Americans found Constantino- pie harbor filled with the warships of every nation, a country still at war and a city with more than 15o, ,000 refugees. Passengers of both ships took up collections for emergency re- lief, gave donations for orphans and refugees and promised to send their winter clothing to Constantnople when the trip was over
 The merchants were all excitement over the arrival of the Americans and fairly pulled the tourists into the shops in their eagerness to sell.
 Some of the visitors entertained Rear Admiral Bristol, American High Commissioner and Mrs. Bristol in the Muscovite, famous Russian restaur- ant.
 The American visitors were served by girls who were formerly members of old Russian aristocratic families who came to Constantinople two years ago as refugees.
 As parting gift the tourists sent to the Near East Relief orphanages on the Bosporus the favors given at the various dances.

GOOD FRIDAY

This day is observed by Christian people the world over in solemn commemoration of an event without which the joy and hope and inspira- tion of Easter Day never would have been known.
 Banishing all the arguments as to the effect the discoveries Of science have had upon religion; leaving for another time the discussion whether or not there may be belief in science and a belief in the truth of religious teachings in the same intelligent tion as to how much of the bible is true and how it should be interpreted spect for the belief of Christians to whom this day means so much, let it be remembered that during the hours two thousand years ago which today's solemn ceremonies recall Jesus Christ was crucified on the Cross; that, in- spired by His death there came into the world a great spirit of faith and hope and charity, a spirit of peace on earth good will toward men, a spirit of sacrifice and love. Let it be remembered that those who fol- low His teachings are among the strongest, kindest and most unsclfish of the earth; that, as for as we arc able to judge in our finite feebleness, the world is better because of His birth, His death and belief in His Resurrection.
 Remembering these things we may observe the day in solemn reverence.

TIE OPTIMISTIC NIEW

A German Democratic leader as scrts that German mlitarism is dead foroNor-the spirit of democracy has lcyellcd Germany so that the republic could withstand any rcactionary re- suits.
 Those who believe that democracy brings happiness may readily believe this statement for people will keep happiness when once they learn where 1t may be found. And optimists may believe this statement also if their conviction in the propriety of equality of all men is sufficiently strong.
 And those who believe that the things we consider better" are in fact better" and that we know what we are talking about when we say that justice is right, and right is jus tice, may see the possibility of the death of other spirits which have dis turbed the world and made for hap piness, They may believe that there will die the spirit which prompts cap- ital to look with a sense of superiority upon labor; that there will perish the spirit which prompts labor to demand any try to enforce by violence de- mands which are outrageous in order that it may obtain fair play; that there will be consumed the spirit which prompts men in public life to do only those things which will bcne- fit them personally and to refrain from doing those things which will benefit the people to their own possi- ble detriment.
 If the Democratic leader in Ger many spoke the truth and the spirit of militarism is dead there, the Amer icanism optimist may believe any and all of these things.

EDUCATIONAL "WEEKS"

There is a question s to the efficacy of the numerous weeks" frequently
 devoted to laying special empha. ] on certain more or less worthy causes.
 But there is no question of the value
 of giving a moments thought to the
 things they bring into prominence. April 23 to 20 is to be called Be Kind to Animals Week" IL has been recommended that humane education be taught more generally in public and private schools In making such recommendation the president of the American Humane society declares that Cruelty acts refexly on char acter," and that protection of animals has not been wholly for the animals sake, but that it is felt that the per sons who practice cruelty will not be good fathers, husbands or citizens.
 Probably only the citing of this suggestion is necessary to disclose the germ of truth, if nothing more, that it contains. Certainly instinctive hor- TOT of child is felt when an act of cruelty is seen to be performed by that child. Instinctively the mind planes parents or older associates of the child. The question arises is the child to blame?
 1t is terrible to associate a natural tendency toward cruelty with innocent childhood, and yet it is difficult not to acknowledge it after seeing the de- light of the small boy who has tied the tin can to the dogs tail.
 If the whole matter is ono of fail ure to understand--and this is the charitable, less pessimistic view to take of the child character, certainly humane education in the schools | should be encouraged. And in the | meantime it will do no harm for each | man and woman, each adult to think l seriously of the children coming un- der their influence and their under standing or lack of understanding of | what cruelty to animals may mean. 1

CHINESE SOCIETY
 SUPERWSES LEANS
People Of Celestial Republic SuS-
 piciOus Of Finance Official

Picking, March G.-(By MaiD-1n- the handling of government loans has become so acute among the Chinese people that a society has been or ganized called the Peoples Financial Supervision Society. No foreign loan is ever contracted by the Ministry of
 Finance without an immediate clamor on the part of the people, and all financial dealings of government off cials and of the government banks are regarded with suspicion by popular organizations. In order to allay this suspicion and keep informed on all matters of finance the new society has been formed with the express purpose of supervising the financial operations of the government and of the two government banks, the Bank of Con- munications and the Bank of China.
 The immediate program of the Supervision Society is on of opposi- tion to the S69,000, ,ooo loan on the salts surplus which is being negotiated by Minister of Finance Chan Hu. At the first meeting of this self-appointed supervisory board several resolutions were passed condemning the salt sur plus loan, demanding investigation and publicity, and warning the Chinese Banking Association. Repre- sentatives were appointed to express to the Banking Association and to the Ministry of Finance the attitude of the people toward the loan and gov ernment finances in general. Full pub licity in every finncial operation is the outstanding demand of the Peoples Financial Supervision Society.

NAVAL ayI,ToRS STAND

The American Legion Naval Ayia-
 tors post has given up its Legion charter and organized independently as the Naval ANinlors club, The req
 son for this Is said to he disapproNal
 of the Legion's stand in favor Of the soldiers bonus,
 The records Of the members of this post indicate that many of them, probably most, are brave mon, They enlisted in the naval flying service al the outbreak Of the war and many came out Of the war with honors, lt is safe to says that in no one body Of men is there a higher ideal of pa lriotam and service than exists among the members Of this post, The silua- ton In life in which most of them found themselves at the outbreak or seize the chance to distinguish them selves in what appeared 10 he more UT l'Ho lollhHiiN lhhlil'i' 'lN' '' the job" pride, in many cases Of blood, drove them on 10 do brave things,
 But the action Of these men, most of whom probably acknowledged the term gentlemen" as the word is popularly used. does not cast any sur upon the stand of the American Lc- zion faNoring the passage Of bonus for cX-sorvice men, The report that the names of most Of the members of the aviators' club arc to be found in the New York social register discoses their "compleX"-shows the inspira- ton of their action. They were and probably are men of society, many of them, Naturally their stand would be with the wealthy interests which have opposed the bonus because 1t would interfere, possibly, with those inter- csts.
 These men may bo and many have proven themselves to be courageous and patriotic. They have not made financial capital out of their service nor would they stoop to do so. The need is not theirs. They are not facing as class, poverty or hardship. Their viewpoint is not influenced by sym pathy with those who are in need. They might have been willing to run any risks under the excitement and inspiration of war for the sake of their "buddics." But the war being over they are no longer "buddes' with the rank and file of the enlisted men of the army. Their action should not be taken as proof that the atti- tude of the American Legion, which 1 considers the welfare of all ex-serv- ice men, is wrong.

"NEW BRITAIN's CHANGE"

Under the above title the Merider Morning Record declares editorially that the Democratic victory" here was rather limited in it's scope.' Re- ferring to the election of Republicans to the common council The Record says: Had the Republicans desired they could have made it unanimous. :" Its comment is "They sacrificed for the time partisanship, in order to satisfy personal grudges."
 Issue may be taken with the state ment. It is more than extremely doubtful if the Republicans could have made it unanimous"
 In New Britain the defeated can- didate, MT. Quigley is personally pop ular. Few personal grudges" were satisfied by voting against him.
 As in the case of every defeated candidate votes were cast against him, rather, because of political opposition. MOTeONer there was not lne en1nuSl- asm in his political support usually manifested for a party candidate.
 In other words there was not in evidence the enthusiastic Republican, ism customarily seen in the past If anyone is able to see Republican strength in waning Republican political enthusiasm, such person is welcome to such political comfort.
 Briefly the waning Republican strength in New Britain is seen in the election because of the ability of a Democrat to win even though it were personal triumph against the heretofore strong Republican senti- ment.
 After disavowing knowledge of Mayor-elcct Paonessa's character The Record says: If Mir Paonessa were mentally big enough 10 discount poli- tics and be content to be mayor for d term, without any thought of re-elcc- tion, we imagine the trend of events in New Britain would be worth watch ing. Unfortunately, we fear, this is impossible. Like the majority of chief executives he will have axes to grind A man in Mir. Paonessa's posi- ton has chance for doing his coun- trymen kind o, work impossible for others to accomplish.
 Mir. Paoncssa will not have to give up thought of reelection" to be d good mayor, to give the city the hon. est, fair administration expected o. him. It is because the people believed in his honesty, his fairness, among other reasons, that they elected him to the high office.
 It is because Republicans believed in his honesty and fairness that many of them did not spur up their waning Republican partisanship and vote against him.
 In the past, very often. party regu- larity would win over even an honest man. Loss of Republican strength is seen in the fact that party partisan ship did not win over one in whose honesty people believed.
