MACHINE GUNS
 PREPARE FOR RIOTS
Workers at Zinc Plant Protected
 Against Strikers

Hillsboro, H., Aug. 13.-A guard of 300 troops and nest of machine guns greeted employees of American Zinc Co. when they returned to work here early this morning. At 2 o'clock about 100 men had entered the plant pre- pared for work. The plant has been closed since Friday when one employe was shot during @ riot between strik- CTS and workmen who were attempt ing to go to work,
 Six machine guns were planted at the entrance to the plant with two more held in reserve nearby. A guard line thrown completely around the property of the company was manned by several of the ten units of Illinois National Guards on duty here. Most of the returning workmen came in au- tomobiles which were parked within the guard line on the common proper ty.
 Col. Samuel N. Hunter of the adju- tant generals office announced this morning that if no trouble occurred today he would ask for the immediate removal of the troops

SAVING LIVES

A Communication" published il this newspaper Saturday begins thus Twill you please print word warn ing. both to pedestrians and motorists in the hope that it may save someone's 'life?" The communication goes on tc say that there is great danger at tho end of the Stanley street car line ant an officer is needed there.
 There are few things this news paper is interested in especially. The first is the saving of lives; the second is the reduction of taxes. As previously said there is nothing so important as the warning to pedestrians and motor ists in every way. Both are to blame The pedestrian of today may be the ,motorist of tomorrow. Eventually practically every man will own and drive his car. This is more certain than that trolley cars will carry peo- pie out to Belyidere for instance.
 For this reason, and for this reason alone emphasis is given to the com munication referred to. The approach of trolley car or any vehicle carry ing passengers should {. be the signal to a driver of a car to step on the clutch and the brake. Laws count little. Where there is danger of run ming down person, or several, the drivers own judgment should tell him to slow down. And usually it does. Comment has been made in these columns on the proper way in which drivers act when the traffic policemen are off duty. In this city there is a degree of care exercised that is re- markable. This fact is one of the req sons why the percentage of accidents in New Britain is very small as com pared with the rest of the state. The citing of the situation at the end of the Stanley street car line should be sufficient to warn our careful driv- CTS, and. those who are not as careful, that this is another point where their personal judgment should tell them that many who live on Francis street and the streets close by are us- ing the trolley and expect rightfully, due consideration by them.
 This city wanted a swimming pool. --.= Q . The Mayor was especially interested in procuring it for the people. The only reason it is not now established is that the people of that vicini- ty objected. Surely that mat ter of. protecting residents of this sec ton from injury is more important than the swimming pool. The warning is timely; the presence of a policeman ought not be needed there, but it would be welcome.

THE PRESIDENCY

The presidency" says the Ameri.
 can Ambassador to France, has be-
 come an impossible position. Not even
 strong man physically can stay on
 the job to the finish. The strain of the
 office and the terrible criticisms which are heaped upon a president will break down the official and this un- doubtedly happened in the case of Mir. Harding"
 Grant that President Harding was a splendid citizen; grant that he served the people as well as he could; grant that the eulogies delivered in his memory were deserved, we refuse to admit that the presidency is a man. killing job.
 No matter how patriotic man may be; no matter how, eager he is to be worthy of the trust imposed upor him; no matter how perpiexing may be the problems that he has to face, they do not compare with the per sonal problems that confront him from day to day, hour to hour. Pres ident Harding came into office with a situation before him that has been compared to the situation facing Pres ident Lincoln. It was a problem of re- construction. It was a problem which might well take every minute of his waking hours. Bnt suppose, at home, he had a baby, sick to the point of death, Would that not have occupied his thoughts to the exclusion of mat ters of state? You. passing along the street. trusted employe Of some fac tory, or you a worker in that factory what occupied your attention most of the time? It is your personal mat ters. The stronger, the better man you are and the better citizen, the more intense thought you will give to your home, your family. You know that you are giving your best to those who l employ you. You are working hard. | But your life is in your home, your love is there.
 And so there was more destructive l force in the illness of Mrs. Harding than there was in all the problems of the nation that came before the president whom we admire ana whose l

CUNO RESIGNS

Conceive of a situation where the words of a president of the United States were hissed; where he spoke with difficulty. That was the situa- ton in Germany a few days ago-if for a moment Germany may be put in the place of the United States. Cuno tried to speak; those who were there to hiss him jeered. Now he has resign ed with his cabinet. It was not be- cause of the misses; it was, rather, be- cause of the almost united opposition to his policies which, of course was the cause of the deprecation of the Chancellor.
 Names of parties in Germany mean little to us here in the United States. The only thing that counts is what Cuno stood for. He was supposed to be business man. yet he stood for policy that resulted in clogging the economic wheels. He was strong for a continuation of passive resistance" which, in the final analysis meant pre- venting Germany from doing the busi- nesslike thing and paying off her debts as fast as she could. Cooperation was something that he did not understand where even cooperation with tradi- tional enemy would have helped his country.
 Whether or not the present com ments so describe it. the resignation of the Cuno cabinet means an express sion of disapprovaI of the communist idea. Germany is practically through with communism. Cuno was its per- sonification. Whatever Streseman does the change cannot be for the worse, for there was no possibility of worth while discussion Of the separations matter while the principle of passive resistance dominated, The other day 1t was. said that the English note was "displessins" to Germany.

THE RIGHT OF PROPERTY

It is noted that the Volstead law may become a political issue in some states. It should become an issue. If it is a law which cannot be enforced without violating the right to possess property, to say nothing of personal liberty, it should be altered without question quite aside from the law itself. When the people of this coun- try lose their faith in their right to own absolutely the property they have acquired, economic chaos is not far away.
 This is the danger which threatens. It is seen in the matter of dismanting bars for the sake of enforcing the Vol stead act. Grant for the sake of this argument that the constitutional amendment preventing the manufac- ture, transportation or sale of intoxi- eating beverage purposes is wise
 grant also, if you will, that the Vol stead act properly defines intoxicating liquor and that its other provisions are proper. Grant these things and then consider that under the order for dis mantling bars the personal property of citizens of this country who have broken no law may be torn down, rem dered useless for any purpose other than burning.
 Men and women, although they un- derstand perfectly that the right to travel the street or the highways free from molestation is valuable right, do not resent interference with that right as they do the taking or harm ing of something tangible that be- longs to them. Thus they have sub mitted to being stopped and their au- tomobiles searched, for instance, with -s out great protest. But when the law enforcement agents begin to tear down bars over which no intoxicating liquor has passed since the law forbade it; when owners of bars who have never broken the law see their property thus destroyed, their claim that such &C., ton is an improper destruction of their property without due process of law will be a just claim. Suppose boot leggers all over the country began to use baby carriages as vehicles in which to transport liquor-as they have done in rare instances. And SUD- pose law enforcement agents were or dered to destroy all baby carriages. The order would be no more an of- fense against the right to property 1 than is the present order.
 Grant again, in order that the state | ment may not be misunderstood, that | there may be reason in the command | 10 destroy the bars of law-violators, it | Is again asserted that the bars of | those who have. not broken the law | should be as safe from destruction in | this country where the, right to hold property is recognized and protected by the courts, as any other piece of | which may be put to legiti- mate use.
 A Flaw" which compels illegal &C., ion for its enforcement has no place on the books of the United States.

Is made. Could Germany, defeated in the war she started, hope to have the settlement pleasing to her?
 The new cabinet will be drawn from the United Socialists, the Clerical, the Peoples and tAe Democratic parties, There is no significance in the names of these parties. There is no signifi- canoe in the change at all except that the man who stood for continuation of passive resistance is out. The new cabinet may or may not assume the same attitude. The only hope is that it will not.
