STRIKING HOME,

A little news story tells us that the
campaign against gambling started
several weeks ago by certain Gov
ernor is explained in part by the
alleged fact that one of his small sons
lost his weekly allowance of money
by gambling. That's human nature
Most of us do many things ourselves
which we would object to If done by
others to our own personal discom-
fort. Perhaps our own children, II
we have any, do things that we used
to frown upon when done by chill
dren-before the days we had chill
dren ourselves.
When a thing strikes home, as
perhaps or even probably this matter
of gambling came home to the gov
ernor, we get the point of view long
held by other people who had been
touched by the matter themselves.
OF course experience is a great teach
err, but that experience must be our
own and we must become personally
acquainted with it before it becomes
valuable. When we start to reform
others it isn't a bad idea to think of
ourselves and see whether or not
there is not a pretty good field right
at home for the exercise of that re-
form craving.

CHARLES ID. SIGsBEE.

The death of Rear Admiral Sigsbee
recalls, first of all, the sinking of the
battleship Maine, which probably was
the direct cause OF the war against
Spain. He was in command of the
ship at the time, and his attitude Of
calm wisdom, both at the time and In
his report of the disaster, deserves
all the praise that has been given
him.
But his greater achievement of
long continued, faithful and intelli-
gent service to his country, represent
ing as he did the best type of naval
officer, is far more deserving of COM
memoration than this one event for
which he will be chiefly remembered.
AS the living of right sort of life
day by day. with its multitude Of
chances for sighting the little things
and careless about them, for selfish
ness, for other faults, Is more difficult
than is some sudden, impulsive fine
act. SO the achievements, small in
themselves but great in the total, of
the fine naval commander who has
Just died will stand out as n long
continued example of what an officer
in the Navy of the United States
should be.

FORD AND JOHNSON.

The good-natured apathy of the
people of this country in regard to
political matters is recognized. There
is no apathy on the part of politi-
clans. but they have long realized and
traded on the willingness of the
voters to stand for almost anything
They, these leaders, feel complaisantly
that the country is in their hands and
the people will let it stay there.
Every time an election approaches
they know that the full vote will not
be out, and that they will have things
their own way. They have had their
own way The people have grum-
bled and have done nothing about it,
With all due respect to President
Harding. certainly it may not be said
that he would have been the choice
of the people out of all who might
have been chosen for the Presidency.
And the political leaders will go on
relying upon the apathy of the people
until something particularly disas-
trous happens. just as something ter
rible happened when war came and
found us unprepared.
Feeble protests have been made by
the people against the way things are
going at Washington. They have
been noted from time TO time Groups
have arisen which will do almost any
thing to get a change there. Presi-
dent Harding's election was the re-
suit Of this unrest-the people wanted
a change. They did not get that
change. Now the election of Magnus
johnson to the United States senate
Is another protest. From all that
may be learned of him he is unpre-
pared in every way to assume the
duties of senator of the United
States. BY training. education and ex-
perience he is untitled. Many of
those who voted for him know this.
And yet because the people Of Min
nesota will have change at any cost,
be was elected.
Henry Ford is untitled for the
Presidency. At present it would seem
hat there is no chance for him. but
evidence has appeared showing that |

LITTLE THINGS.

Some little things" have come to
light since the last meeting of the
common council. If member of
that august body feels 1t is necessary
for its Chief of Police to give an
itemized bill of his expenses to a
convention, it is proper for him to
demand it. A member did demand
that Chief Hart furnish such itemized
bill, and such member should not be
subjected to criticism if that was the
4 way his mind worked. 1t is right,
possibly, to have the council know
where the city money goes, even
though some may say this was mat
ter entirely for the police commits
sion.
But it seems that Chief Hart did
furnish an itemized bill and also one
in which the total expense alone was
given. In all fairness to the police
official 1t should be known that he
did furnish this itemized bill, and it
is somewhat surprising that this fact
was not stated at the council meeting.
The other bill, giving merely the total
expense, was included in the report
probably to save printing the item
lied statement. Chief Hart should
not be allowed to stand in the light
of one who tried to get away with"
something. Moreover it should be
added that the Chiefs total expenses
were far less than the amount he
was practically authorized to spend
which sum was $500. The matter is
mentioned merely to correct a wrong
impression gained from the action of
the council.
Another little matter" deserving
of comment Is the attitude in which |
some members received the informa-
ton offered regarding the plan of
coming the city. Little attention was |
paid to valuable information on a |
matter that may affect the pocket
books OF many taxpayers in the city.
The coming plan is not a joke, and |
when it is finally brought up for &C.
ton it is quite probable some men,
bers of the council will ask for delay
in order that they may look into the
matter farther" Many would have

drastic change in the ways OF the adj
ministration. And II Is not improb-
able that If political conditions re-
main as they are, in the hands of
politicians who do not consider the
desires OF the people as important, 1t
will not be many years before the
Johnsons and the Fords will be real
menaces and there will be more OF
them placed in positions where their
lack of ability and knowledge may
bring that disaster which will arouse
political leaders to a realization of

THE WATERBURY, FIRE.

One cannot fail to express sincere
regret that a neighboring city has
been shocked by a great fire, bring
ing death and sadness and trouble to
its people. For great fire of the
sort that has come to Waterbury
casts a shadow over the city, tempo
rary though it may be, and the event
is reflected more or less in the life of
the city. Investigations bring little
satisfaction. and seldom fix the blame,
if there is anyone to blame; they are
examinations that should be made, of
course, and the criminally careless
punished, If carelessness be shown.
But in any event 1t is an unfor-
tunate experience for a city to go
through, and Waterbury, under this
temporary cloud, has our sympathy.

TRACKS OF ANCIENT RACE
FOUND ON PACIFIC ISLAND
Traces of Unknown Civilization Have
Been Found on Bird Res
ervation.

Honolulu, July 20.-Traces Of a
hitherto unknown civilization that
may have existed in the Pacific 2,000
years ago have been discovered on
the little islands of Necker and Nihoa
in the Hawaiian bird reservation, to
the northwest of the Hawaiian group
proper, according to the revelations
made by returning members of gov
eminent scientific party which is ia
vestigating and surveying the islands
aboard the U. S. S. Tanager.
For centuries past these isolated
spots have sheltered the secret of once
powerful colonies that may have
fiourished prior to the main Polyne-
sian migration which resulted in the
settlement of the Hawaiian group,
according to A. L. c. Atkinson, presi-
dent of the territorial board of agri-
culture and forestry, who was one of
the scientific party.
Time and the elements have failed
to obliterate the traces of the tenn
pies, houses, and the agricultural sys-
TENS of long ago, and it is expected
that the discoveries of the scientists
may aid appreciably in the final solu-
ton of the problem of the origin and
migrations Of the Polynesian race.
Bowls wrought from solid stone, a
headiess idol, and a stone adj were
among the many specimens that the
party brought back from the islands.
The scientists told of fallen founda-
tons that once supported houses,
scores of stone monuments, the ruins
Of what were terraces upon which
foodstuffs were grown, and the ruins
of temples-evidence, 1t was said,
that tended to show that Necker ami
Nihoa were cradles OF civilization and
the rendezvous Of a people who were
skilled in crude handicrafts and the
art Of navigation thousands of years
ago. These specimens, together with
all others gathered by the Tanager
party are being studied by scientists
here now.

"r 1--we her" the strong man said

II love her." the strong man said
today, simply, as if never a thought
of doing anything else had entered his
mind.
Lessis fame began when he was
working in steel company's plant in
Youngstown. He startled his fellow
wor5men by shouldering a ton beam,
which 10 men failed to lift. He per-
formed other feats Of strength, and in
the evenings gave exhibitions for the
entertainment Of his countrymen in
Youngstown. They pursuaded him to
go to New York, where he went on
the vaudeville stage. In Rawlings,
Wyo., in 1921, Gus met Lola and fell
in love with her. She was IS years
old and beautiful, although of a poor
family, he says.
But a few months after the we'd
ding, Lola wandered away. according
to Lessis. Four times she left him
and now he wants to be freed, be-
cause he says he can't hold her."

LICENSING OPERATORS.

1t is satisfactory to note that the
suggestion OF Mayor Paonessa. who
has shown repeatedly his constant
thought for the people of the city and
their convenience, to make it possible
to have those desiring operators
automobile licenses obtain them here,
has borne fruit. A representative of
the State Police will be at the New
Britain Police headquarters on Com
mercial street Tuesday and Wednes-
day of each week beginning next
Tuesday from to 4. daylight time,
to try out candidates for such
licenses.
There is Just word to add. 1t is
hoped that no persons will attempt
to obtain licenses, merely because it
will be more convenient to secure
them, until they are quite qualified
TO drive a car. And if such novices
do make such attempt it would
be we'll for the examining officer to
refuse to give them the licenses. This
is one way in which the number of
automobile accidents may be les
sened-by increasing the strictness
governing the granting of operators
licenses. And it will become more
and more necessary, as the number
of cars in use increases, that all
drivers of them are properly qualified
to handle the machines in a safe
manner.
