On Monday, discussing the British
situation, The Herald asked which

to be selected as the new Prime Min
lister there would be step in the di-
rection of maintaining the traditional
English policy of turning to aristocra-
there would be evidence of rccogni-

Stanley Baldwin has been selected.
II need your prayers more than your
ratulations," he is quoted as hav-
ing said to the newspaper men after
his selection, There is no intention
here to laud Stanley Baldwin as a
democrat of the democrats. He is the
choice of the "diehard" conservatives.
But he is a business man who made
his fortune by his own work in the
steel mills and mines, a former private
secretary to Bonar Law whose disciple
he is-he Is r man who has arrived
his own accomplishments.
Lord Curzon. on the other hand. is
an arstocrat with a splendid record
of public service performed in the at
mosphere OF aloofness from the peo-
pie and always with an air of superb
ority which would prevent any man
ever obtaining great office in a
like ours. AS the New York
Herald puts it today, seeing deeper
han the surface the significance of

ion : actually represents the
of the last stronghold Of
endalism in England. IT means that

The Weather

For Connecticut: Fair and con-
tinued cool tonight and Thursday
probably light frost in exposed places
in interior tonight; moderate north
and northeast winds.
Conditions: The pressure is high
over Michigan and low over Texas.
Cloudy and showery weather prevails
In the southern district as far north
as Kentucky. Pleasant weather con-
tinues in the lake region and along
the Atlantic coast north of Virginia.
The temperature is rising between the
Rocky mountains and the Mississippi
river but continues low in the east
ern portion of the lake region and
New England.
Conditions favor for this vicinity
increasing cloudiness with slowly ris-
ing temperature.

eLERGy,iEN's PLEDGE

The more thought Is given 10 the
announcement that William Jennings
Rryan-ar any man, for that matter
has "won his hght for a demand
that every Presbyterian minister,
church Official, church member and
the faculties and students OF the de-
nominational schools sign a total alb
stinence pledge" the greater becomes
the shock that there Is or was any
need Of such "hght," The fact that
this thing has happened In a certain
church denomination has nothing 20
do with the significance OF II. There
would have been no particular signih-
canoe. even. II the determination had
been to demand total abstinence
pledge from students In school. Thus
nothing is intended here 10 single out
any one creed MS having n matter OF
this sort brought up. The shock comes
that churchmcn OF any denomination
at all have deemed II wise TO demand
that those connected with II sign n
written pledge to obey the lava
particular law. For only anibblers will
insist that the person who uses liquor
today is not breaking the law. The
cases where drinking is legal are so
few as to be negligible.
Possibly the nearest habit to that of
excessive drinking Is the Use of drugs.
Has there been any movement to in
sist that certain reputodly law-abiding
citizens take a pledge not to Use
drugs? Yet the results of such use
are admittedly more disastrous than
the use of liquor. And the man who
encourages illegal use Of drugs is GER !
tainly as much the lawbreaker as the |
man who aids in the use OF liquor as
a beverage. The answer would seem
to be plainly that there seems to be no
need, In the minds Of these good peo-
pie, to compel people to sign pledge
not to break a law which has the ap-
prova of united public sentiment or
Ill right thinking people, such as the
aw which limits this use of drugs to
necessity. the law against theft. MUIR
Ter or any other action which is gen.
orally recognized by decent people to

laring that this law is one which is

OUR OWN IMPORTANCE

The return OF a man to his home
town" after an absence of twenty-one
years. man who had been judicially
declared to be dead-can not be
passed over without thought when
that home town" happens to be
your own town and the man one
known to many
There was a peculiar coincidence
about the return Of Patrick +. Kelley
yesterday coincidence with which
he had nothing to do. Knowing little
about his personal affairs and with
the conviction that it is none of our
business anyway we may at least say
welcome home" and pass to the
thought that is inspired by his return,
not because it is Mr.. Kelley who has
come back, but because an individual
has reappeared who had dropped out
of the surroundings in which he was
formerly seen.
The coincidence referred TO is the
fact that Just at the time. yesterday,
when Mr.. kellcys return was made
known. a comparative stranger to
New britain was speaking eloqucntly
OF the importance of every individual
soul in the world, no matter how
humble the position Of that individ- !
ual. Probably the speaker had never |
heard OF Patrick Kelley; probably he |
had in mind no event such as the APP
pearance, in lifo. of a man declared .
to be dead. But he was emphasizing
the fact that some life seemingly un-
important TO those about him, might
affect history in some important way
We hear often the statement that
contains some truth. namely that no
man is so important but that the
world will GO on just the same if he
drops out OF it; someone will take his
place and the great machine will go

THE HoNoREn GRAVES

Across the water are $4,000 graves
OF men Of this country who gave their
lives because, like true men Of this
country, they oheyed the call 10 arms
In defense OF the liberty Of democracy,
In this country are the graves OF
Thousands who obey the same call.
There are no graves more honored
than these there are no graves the
sight OF which or the thought OF
which brings deeper sense OF appre-
citation OF the sacrifices made for
liberty duty.
In this country many hearts feel
the distance which separates us from
the resting places of the bodies OF our
men who died in France, and In those
hearts there is the determination to
keep alive. through perpetual care of
these graves. the memory OF those
men so that not only may we feel our
respect is shown before men. but also
so that the person who. in France.
passes or hats before one of those
graves, may well remark They, in
America, honor the memory of their
brave men who have died"
And so we feel that the graves OF
our men who came home to die or
who died In service should be similar
Iv q lie hn nj
desire to care for those graves In
France--those graves of our men--so
there is the determination to care for
the graves here. The "buddies' of
those men who died have gone to
work with that same courage and de-
termination that carried them over
the top in the face of death, to raise
a fund that will care for those graves
In France always, that will decorate
and honor the graves here on the
coming memorial day
The poppy drive, now being con-
Quoted. and the plan to receive SUBJ
scriptions for the 100000 fund the
interest of which Is to do this splendid /
work, is inspired by this desire to
honor the memory of our dead. At the
coming memorial day exercises each
grave in this city will have its appro-
pirate marker, it's seemly decorations
and a contribution will be sept to aid
In raising the money necessary to keep
the memory alive of those who died In
France, so far from home. No true
man of this country. no true woman,
can fall to be moved by such an ap-
peal. Each will give something glad
ly-in memory of ours
It is the desire to receive a large
number of small contributions. The
Herald is proud to receive such con-
tributions and will acknowledge them
each day as they are received Such
donation should be forwarded to THE

NEW POINTS OF VIEW

NEW POINTS OF VIEW
So many obvious, trite remarks
have been made aheut the beauty oI
service, the value Of individuality and
the unfortunate failure OF our "bes
people" 10 take an active Interest
In politics, that IL would seem a talh
IN which these matters were the high
spots would not impress, But as a
patent may he granted on new pro-
cess for accomplishing an old purpose
ms we'll as upon discovery or inven.
ton, so these matters OF service, In.
dividuality right citizenship become
vital when seen from new viewpoints
under the searching light OF knowl-
edge OF history and Its wise appica-
tlon to present day problems.
Such new viewpoint came from
Philip troup In his address before a
local organization yesterday. There
was nothing obvious or tritc about II
and a new realization OF our country
as the only nation whose wars had al
ways been wnged in the cause of liber-
ty. nation unique In the worlds
history. came as one of the results of
Mr.. Troup's address. The whitening
scorn OF the speaker for the man who
refuses to become interested and ac-
tive in the public affairs Of his COM
munity because politics are too
dirty" was emphasized In his declar-
alton that IF politics are dirty 1t is
because we refuse to do the work
necessary to make politics Clean" and
his convincing assertion that Romc's
period of decay began when the peo-
Pile turned from the public forum and
interest in national affairs to the re-
sorts of pleasure and entertainment,
emphasized his point that there is
menace in the situation in this coun-
try where 100000 people will pay to
see a prize fight or football game but
will not go in any appreciable num-
bers to hear q great statesman speak
of Fundamentally vital problems.
Possibly Mr.. Troup's illustration of
the importance of individual action
was the most effective of his talk. No
matter how humble our position, he
asserted, it is possible that some ac-
ton of ours, working in our own
may have far-reaching
effect, and he cited the incident where
an humble subaltern, not Wellington,
was held to have done the most
TO win the battle of Waterloo
FOR England, And then, to give the
Anal touch of impressveness to the
essen of the Importance of soul, he
cited the choice of an humble son OF
, carpenter of Judea to be the man
whose words and deeds would have
more effect upon the history OF the
world than the command Of all the
powerful emperors of Rome, There Is
