LATEST TRAGEDY IN
 RUSSIA

Russia, however, seems likely to get less recognition than some people fav- cred according to her, because of the execution of Msgr ButchlSavitch, Ro- man Catholic yicar-general there, on a charge of opposing the soviet gov ernment.
 The understanding was that Msgr. Butchkavitch, though condemned, would not actually be executed, but the Moscow rulers appear to have lost their tempers over the storm of pro- test they received from other govern- n,ents and to have put him to death against their original intention, to show they could do as they pleased, regardless of the rest of the worlds wishes.
 The result is that many people in other lands who had been in favor previously of giving them at least commercial recognition, have switch ed over to the side of those who op- pose any relations whatever with such regime.

BIG BUSINESS PLANS

The iron, steel and coal magnates continue to discuss settlement of the Ruhr question. E. H. Gary's talk with Hugo Stinnes makes it look as if America were taking part---as be. tween magnates, not as govern mental matter.
 Sir Allan Smith, the English cap tain of industry wants an economic alliance including his country, Amer ica. Germany and Russia.
 Other Britons who favor his plan say a combination like this would be tco strong for France.
 They declare England wants to re- habilitate all Europe. They think America wants the same thing. They believe Germany wants it too, as g means of rehabilitating herself. Tn Sir Allan's opinion, even the soviet rulers can see that general improve ment would be for Russia's good.
 But Sir Allan complains that France cares about rehabilitating nobody but herself. That's why he leaves her out of his scheme.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

House Leader Buckley says he wants either the present law against Sunday sports enforced, as it is not at present, or the statute repealed and what is justified in Sunday sports, legalized. As Governor Templeton has gone on record as opposed to legalizing Sunday baseball where ad- mission is charged, preferring, he says, to have things as they are in Waterbury now, where anyone may call for the enforcement of the law if he wants to--but no one wants to- it is to be presumed that MT. Buck ley's idea is to make the motions of planning for the strict enforcement of the present ,law-something that would be very difficult of accomplish ment. It would seem to be gesture, again, to please those who want a .tight" Sunday, leaving things about as they are in their practical working out.
 Tn this connection it is apropos to cite the remarks of priest in this city the other day, He asserted that what the people need is the message, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy" which was the subject of q text of another clergyman in this city not long ago. The people need no "blue Sabbath" laws, declared this priest, as long as they refrain from amusements which are harmful

 If capital thinks today it is going to destroy labor unions and force the workingman to agree to individual settlements with capital, of course it is mistaken. That is not going to happen. Don't be afraid that radi- calism and liberalism are suffering a reaction today in any permanent fash ion. Don't let that get into your heads"
 Alluding to the closing of the open forum of his church, which was dis continued by order of his ecclesiasti- cal superiors, Dr. Grant said his plan was opposed by "135 per cent Ameri- cans among whom he included Bishop Burch. who died, and Bishop Manning, who is not yet dead"
 Ralph M. Lasley, of the national civic federation, A. P. Wheeler and few other 135 per cent Americans" he added, ''got busy and brought to bear such influence with the bishop that he decided the church was too hallowed a place for the little speech es of the workingmen and others.
 T spoke to the Methodists on eco- homie matters year ago, at their in- vitation, but this year they wanted to know about my religious ideas. Now the joke about these Methodists-a fine, husky lot of fellows--is that they are most liberal and even radi- cal economically. but are most con- servative, theologically. That's a funny thing, isn't it?'

WHY:
The New Haven Union. under the a bove heading says cditorially:

The New Haven Union. under tht above heading, says cdtorially:
 From Hartford comes infor-
 nation that the legislative com
 mittee on education is willing to
 sacrifice every other measure 10
 save large sum of money to
 build Normal School dormitory
 at Danbnry. Bridgeport and Wa
 terbury lose their oft-renewcd
 efforts to obtain Normal Schools.
 and populous Hartford county
 can have no new dormitory or
 other needed buildings for it's
 New Britain Normal School.
 Many 8 citizen in the state asks
 "Why?"
 The Republican machine in
 Danbury lately turned in sub
 stantial majority during its city
 election as compared with a bare
 majority for Governor c. A.
 Templeton last fall which came
 along with an equally slight ma
 jority for Thomas J. Spellacy, candidate for the United States
 Senate on the Democratic ticket.
 Perhaps the answer lies there.
 The situation in New Britain with a. new Normal School without ade- quate accommodations for the young women who would want to attend, or with but one wing of the proposed building which would take care of them, is not pleasant to contemplate. Moreover it is situation in which the whole state is interested, just at a time when the advisability of mak- ing the splendid profession of teach- ing more attractive is so apparent. With young women of American birth having but a slight majority of the teaching body of the state, over those of foreign extraction, it would seem that those citizens who are asking this question why" and looking at the present opportunity in this city if adequate accommodations are ar ranged for, have a good reason for their query.

AN oRITuARY.

MT Bill Anti-nayicht Saving Time" passed away yesterday after earnest attempts to save his life on the part of physicians of the old school who believe that the new med teal books contain only new-fangled notions that disturb the tried and true practices of the past Fifteen of those worthy doctors sought to bleed Bill, an ancient and honored custom of other days, but IS physi- cians who are inclined to think that some of the old ways were the re- suit of ignorance and failure to rec ognize progress, thought it better that he should go out of the world, if go he must without being sub jected to trength-lessening practices.
 Bills friends and relatives who live for the most part in the rural communities of the state, will light their tallow dips and retire weeping, cherishing Bills memory and hoping to resurrect him at some time in the future. They will seek some off, spring of Bill to take his place this summer, and they will do their best to keep such child from imbibing some of the fool notions of wide awake people who really wanted Bill to die, believing his room was better than his company Such people are, of course, hampered by living in the cities and know nothing of the pro- gressiveness of the farm.
 A study of Bills life, however. will reveal that he made all his friends ridiculous, and memory of Bill may tend to prevent future generations from following the example he per suaded his friends was the result of refusing to be tempted into trying anything not in accordance with tra- ditions of the past.s

Dy SHdTlCS T. olcWdIL 1 The Turks always have been clever at keeping others whom they fear di vided among themselves.
 They didn't succeed as well as usua at the last Near Eastern conference at Lausanne. However, they got the conference postponed, to gain time Now it's about to reopen, they've go' things scrambled thoroughly. Americans have been fixed with ar oil land concession in Asiatic Turkey to rival England's.
 The Bagdad Railroad questions been reopened. Germany, beaten fir the war, is out of 1t, but the United States has been brought in.
 Trade with Persias at stake. There's talk of connecting Turkey and western China by rail.
 Besides her oil rights. Englands been set to worrying over the safety of her back door into India, from the north. France, with a Near Eastern foothold in Syria, doesn't want to see the United States get a Letter foothold yet. Japan, close to China on the east side, sees her trade endangered if another power builds a railroad in from the west. Russia's interest in the whole disputed area is enormous.
 So the next meetings liable to be, not so much a conference between Turkey and the powers" as a squabble among the powers" them selves, with the Turks bargaining, here and there, wherever the trad ing looks best, and maybe getting pretty much anything they want.

BABY-TATiK,

Look out, papas and mammas who have in their homes some "wittle wambkins' and " 'itta darlinsl" When you explode "baby-talli" to your children you are giving them incorrect auditory imagery that may damage them for life. Marion Lanphier, Ph,B., also spinster, of course, since sine Is an expert on mat ters pertaining to children. declares danger that this child" she says fur thcr, referring to one who has listened to lot Of baby talk may be either weak in his language de- velopment or so prccocious in some other development that the language process, not weak in itself, is simply retarded before the stronger growth, mentally or physically. In either case the practice of baby-tall. is a distinct danger. Furthermore, baby talk is frequently groundwork for development in stammering. handi- cap which may continue throughout life.'
 Seriously however. every sensible parent knows that baby talk makes it all the harder for a child to learn to speak correctly; they refrain from indulging in it, great as the tempta- ton it. And parents are assured that by refraining from using baby talk to their children they, the parents, will not lose in popularity with yis- itors who happen to drop in.

ENGLISH POLITICAL
 OUTLOOK

London cables mention in the same breath gains in labor's political strength in England and correspond ing Conservative gains there. too.
 There's nothing contradictory in this.
 Times are hard in England. This makes votes for the Labor party, which favors change. It's tendency which the Conservatives consider dangerous. and they're drawing to- gether for defensive purposes.
 Consolidation of the Conservative lines is hastened by the general con- vjction that Andrew Bonar Law, the Conservative party leader, can't last as premier much longer. When he goes out, unless the Conservatives are clearly in a majority in Parlia- ment. a Labor premier will come in. Many Englishmen who, on party is- sues, disagree with the Conservatives, are Conservatives nevertheless rather than radicals, as the British Laborites in their opinion, are. So, for the ex- pected period of stress, they're get- ting over toward the Conservative side.

FORD SELLS TOWN LOTS.
He Opens Subdivision in Dearborn
 at Cost for Homes.

Detroit, Mich, April 12.--Henry Ford is preparing to throw open a sub division of $500 acres of land along Oakwood Boulevard as the first step in building up high class res identiad section in Dearborn, it be- came known yesterday.

COMMUNICATED
ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS

ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS April 12, 1923 Editor New Britain Herald,
 Dear Sir:
 The so-called powers that be of the local democratic party should feel highly elated over the party's show ing at the recent city election, espe- ciaIly the representatives from the ever doubtful fifth ward. Witness the spectacle of the caucus being called on A hours notice in the back room of Broad street barber shop, and the subsequent demoraliza- tion of morale in the indorsement of the republican candidate for alderman by democratic appointee to the board of public works, former lead CT of fifth ward democracy.
 Democratic success in this city de- pends entirely on the fifth wards con- tribution to the vote, as even the school children know, and if the pres ent chairman of the democratic town committee and the representatives from the fifth think for minute that the party will condone their failure to function at the recent fifth ward cau- GUS, then they have another think coming. Citizens who have voted the democratic ticket for years remained away from the polls last Tuesday as protest against the barber shop caucus and its doings.
 It is political suicide for the party to continue the above mentioned fig ureheads in office, as their procras- tination and lethargy only drives life long democrats out of the party, to say nothing of their influence against enrolling new voters with the demo- crats.

LIBERTY,

Lieut.. Governor Bingham pleads the farmers legislative organizations: Tn the laws upon which you are asked to pass it seems to me most advisable that you bear in mind the precious fruits of freedom and that you do nothing to curtail personal lib- erty The glory of country life is that there is plenty of elbow room, and one may freely exercise many kinds of personal liberties without in- terfering with ones neighbors."
 Splendid fine. With these senti- ments one may agree absolutely. But one wonders if Lieut. Governor Bing- ham was thinking of personal liberty and it's enjoyment when, by his vote in breaking tie the other day. he re- fused to kill the prospects of that bill which so restricted personal liberty thtat it would have put man in jail for setting his clock the way he want ed to, it if happened to be where others might see it? Lieut.. Governor Bingham praised this state as the home of so many inventions and the birthplace of so many self-reliant citizens who have enjoyed liberty and made good use of their opportuni- ties" His vote, however, in the case cited, would indicate that he was in sympathy with those who are sorry any man ever invented a watch that could be set in accordance with the it.

RAILROADS LOSE.

Complain all we want to about our railroads we have to admit that they are necessary; we need them. More over they will not go on existing un- less they make money. If they don't make money they will go from bad to worse and then disappear entirely. Anyone who keeps crying for rates fhat will not allow the roads to make any money at all and to keep repairs and Improvements up to date, Is merely trying to gain popularity with the people. This newspaper has no next chap, and personally we hate high rates because we have to pay more when we travel and we have ,to pay more for things we buy that have been carried over the roads.
 But personally again we want the things the railroad furnishes and we don't want to see the roads put out Of business. Now the roads have lost their fight tp have the recent ruling requiring them to issue interchange sable mileage books at reduced rates, sreconsidered. "us masses" would not profit much by the -rnilea ge book be- cause we probably would not have the amount of money necessary to buy one if we wanted to go to New York, for instance. The people who will profit by them are those who pay for travelling all over the country, Individuals or corporations who or which travel or send out travelling -. So we are rather disinterested.
