cry or OPPORTUNITY

The achievements of much re-
speeted citizen of New Britain who
has just died. brings out forcibly the
fact that this IL n city of opportuni'
~. This man rose from ohseeurity "a
prominence through his own efforts
He began at the bottom and ended his
days among the foremost men of the
city.
Americans pride themselves that
this Is the land of opportunity Gold
is not found lying In the street, as
some strangers TO our land are re-
ported TO have been told, but the
chances TO earn those dollars and
other things more valuable than
money. are here. New Britain Is
typical OF this country In that respect.
A stranger to the city, after being
here little while. sees some OF the
officials of the manufacturing plants
well situated In life. They enjoy the
comforts and Injuries which moder-
ate wealth brings. The stranger Is in
clined to jump to the conclusion that
they have inherited money; that they
have had far greater chances than
will ever come to them; that they
have been lucky. Some of them have
inherited money and business posi-
ton, perhaps. Perhaps some of them
have been fortunate at the beginning
and life has been easy for them.
But more thorough understanding
of many of them and a knowledge of
their lives will show that many began
at the bottom as the man who has
Just died began. They have worked
hard and have known the labor on the
bench as the stranger may be know
ing 1t today. Some of them, even, were
obliged to leave school at an early age
to go to work. Many of them know
Just what stranger coming here to
work in the manufacturing plants is
up against"
There are somewhat aspects to this
situation. First, and most important.
is the fact that this is city of OPP
portunity. A man working faithfully
here can get on to success; many are
working on to success as many have
done before them. And then there Is
the propriety of consideration and
help in work due the workers which
those who have once occupied the less
important positions should be able to
New Britain is a good city to work
in. Employers and employees will
profit if they keep 1t so and improve
It, where improvement is possible.

"RED KNIGHTS" ORGANIZE
TO COMBAT XII KLUX KHAN
CLEANING Circle Admits Catholics
Jews and Negroes, But Bars
Professionals. aAfE

Pittsburgh. Sept. THE Knights
of the Flaming Circle, declared by its
organizers to be the foe of the Ku
Klux Khan, is rapidly gaining recruits
in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, since its organization
at Kane, Pa, several weeks ago.
For the first time 1t was made pub
lie yesterday that the new secret or
ganization welcomes Catholics, Jews
and negroes as members. but ex-
cudes all members of Protestant
churches. 1t Is an avowed anti-klan
organization, but does not counsel pa
rades or violence, except as matter
of self-defense.
All of the societies composed of
foreigners who have been requested to
join the Knights of the Flaming Cir
Gle are said to have entered en- masse.
During their initiation ceremonies the
Knights of the Flaming Circle wore
only masks. Each knight has a
flaming circle over his heart, SYM
bolic. the organizers say, of truth. AS
officers of the new order wear robes,
the name RED knights" has been
adopted In making the distinction be-
tween Societies where white robes
are worn.

RELIEF FOR JAPAN

A movement to give aid to the liv-
ing sufferers from the greatest natural
calamity on record has been started
in this city as other such movements
have been started all over the world
New York city has acted promptly,
giving out of the great wealth she
holds, generous donation to the people
Of Japan. The American Red Cross,
always alert, always ready in such
emergencies, has been deputized to
take over the handling of the funds
that will be raised. No other organi-
cation is better fitted, practically and
spiritually, to do this work. There is
feeling of relief all over our country
that such an organization exists. 1t is
our pride.
And it is the pride of the people of
this city that Nv Britain will do her
share in this work of humanity. The
call for donations is not call to the
man or woman who has all he or she
can do to feed and care for their own.
No man or woman will be blamed IL
he or she is compelled to give every
thing to those at home who would suf-
fer IL anything were to be taken from
them to swell the fund that will go to
this tortured people.
But to those who, by bit Of self
sacrifice may deny themselves some
thing in order to give to this fund this
call comes. And it comes with greater
force to those who can afford TO give
freely. generously. without bringing
suffering to those dependent upon
them.
II is at a time such as this that the
responsibility of wealth is apparent.
There is no doubt but that all men and
women in New Britain feel they would
IKE to help. Just as they would help

"THE WHOLE TRUTH"

A great deal of fuss is being mad,
over the report that Irving Fisher, Of
Yale, his declared that the late Pres.
ident Harding told him personally
that he, President Harding, wanted
the United States to get into the
League of Nations as much as Prof
Fisher did.
We hold no brief for or against
Professor Fisher and we have no wish
to comment upon the possibility that
the late President made that remark,
or what it signifies If he did make it.
The point that is exasperating to any
fair minded person is the failure by
some critics Of the Professor for be
traying confidence" after the quoted
man is dead, to tell "the whole truth"
The New York Herald for instance,
says editorially this morning that the
report is that the late President said
TO Professor Fisher, "fll tell you, pro-
vided you will not publish it in this
States to get into the League as much
as you do" Be it noted that there is
an hiatus in this quotation. Something
is left out. That is the point.
AS we remember the report it was
to the effect that the late President
did tell Professor Fisher he might re-
peat his remark to his friends. He
might tell his friends, if he wanted to,
that President Harding wanted the
United States to get into the League.
Is there any man who reads this
who believes, If President Harding
wanted the remark kept secret, he
would allow his confdente tell it to
his friends? Are not the newspapers
who quote this reputed remark OF the
late President doing his memory more
harm by leaving out the portion of
the statement that showed he did not
forbid repetition of it. than are those
who refuse to comment upon a mat
ter which might be explained were
President Harding to be alive today?
Professor Fisher is charged with
making this quotation for propaganda
for the League. Is not the charge
more proper that opponents of the
League Of Nations are doing more
injury to one who cannot reply by
failing to report the whole conversa-

pEGIy AT HOME

The report comes on good authori'
~ that a group OF good citizens gath
cred the other evening in this city
and discussed with great concern the
wisdom TO teaching the strangers "a
this country the constitution under
which they lived. They were very GER
tain. were these, good people. that II
would be a splendid thing to have
knowledge OF the constitution more
general. The strangers. especially,
they felt, were in need OF such instruc-
ton.
One individual at the gathering re-
manned quiet for while and then,
speaking in low voice, modestly ask
ed who In the group knew enough Of
the constitution to tell what the first
amendment to II is. There was dead,
particularly dead. silence. No one
seemed to know. The inquiry was not
pursued further. The amount of
knowledge of the constitution which
they were so anxious to teach to the
stranger, possessed by members of the
group, was apparent. None of them
seemed particularly familiar with it.
We are thoroughly in favor of
spreading knowledge of the constitu-
ton of the United States. But we con-
fess to have forgotten a good part of
what we know of it. and this admis-
sion, humiliating though 1t be, does
not make us feel that we differ a
great deal from many other who con-
slider themselves good, patriotic citi-
5zens. The constitution should be i'm
pressed upon all of us. The stranger
needs knowledge of 1t; but we need
knowledge of 1t too. Like charity such
teaching should begin at home. Like
many other situations this is one
where we should pull the beam out of
our own eyes before we look for the
moat in the eyes of our neighbors.
1t has been recently noted that
changes are being suggested in the
manner of teaching those who are
supposed to set examples of the cor
rect life to others. Practical knowl-
edge, illumined by spiritual light, Is
needed, rather than spiritual light
with no practical knowledge. This
does not discredit the value Of the
spiritual light. but rather, intensifies
the need of practical knowledge. So, |
urging that we, all of us, learn more
of the constitution and then attempt |
to spread that knowledge does not In |
any sense suggest that such knowl-
edge is not necessary. 1t does sug-
gest, however, that we begin a period !
of enightening others by enlighten-
ing ourselves. Let's go to it.
