THEY DO NOT DARE,

No truly big statesman, who hopes his achievements will go down in his- tory, and who has given deep. un- prejudiced thought to the matter, dares to go on record as opposed to the idea that there will come eventu- ally peace to the world through a league of nations the members of which are inspired by the same feel ing as that which inspires the nations of today to aid the suffering nation of Japan.
 Despite the attempts of many peo- pie today to erase all memory of the late President Harding's frequent ref erence to an association of nations" that would come after those nations had been properly approached, :" President Harding did have that hope of international harmony, call it by whatever name one may.

THE WAY THINGS ARE.

Suppose you stop the first ten men you meet on the street and ask them how they think the Brookhart- Mere dith scrap is coming out. Every one of the ten might stare blankly and remark that they did not know any thing about it. at least nine of them would admit ignorance. And yet Brookhart is a newly elected United States Senator and Meredith, a former Secretary of Agriculture, is suing him for damages for slander or libel.
 But ask those ten men you meet on the street how they think the Dempsey-Firpo thing is coming out and quite probably ten pairs of eyes would show decided signs of interest at least nine pairs would. Probably some discussion of the merits of Dempsey and Firpo would follow. And yet Dempsey and Firpo are only prize-fighters.
 This is the way things are, not the way things should be perhaps, but the way things are. And hence, it being ones business to consider things as they are, the Dempsey -Firpo fight becomes something worth discussing because it is the subject so many people are interested in. long dis sertation on the brutality of prize fighting might he full of elevating thought and sound principles: it might be read and approved by few people. It would not be, however, an interesting study in humanities.
 Bruce Barton, the capable editorial writer, declares that the greatest phrase in the language is T don't know" He quotes great men who are not ashamed to use it; he cites com paratively insignificant men who re- fuse to admit the fact. So one does not hesitate to declare that one does not know, being human. whether con sideration of prize-iighters benefits or harms the race. looking at it from every point of view At any rate it is a matter that may he discussed. while there are other things in which men are interested-have always been nterested-which may not be dis cussed.

PREPARE FOR OUTBREAK
Supply of shrapnel sent To Philippine Constabulary For Use Against Hos' f;Jx, Npr.ns
tile NIoros.

By The Associated Press.
 Manila, Sept. 12.-Anticipating new outbreaks among the Moros in the Lake Lanao region, the Philippine constabulary has dispatched supply of shrapnel to Camp Keithly.
 Advices received here say the Moros recently pulled down the Filipino flag at the Keithly garrison and issued a warning against raising 1t again, de- claring the Moros will recognize none hut an American government and that they do not want Filipino governor which they have now.
 Governor Santos of the prvionce has reported to Governor Gen. Wood that Moro religious fanatics are taking caths on the Koran again preparatory, he believes, to running amuck. He says the fanatics are refusing to pay any taxes or send their children to school.
 Governor Gen. Wood said he be- lIeves it is merely case of religious feeling but is worried and may leave for the region shortly to conduct an

MUSICAL ALDERMEN.

The board of aldermen of New Ha
 ven has decided, in effect. that it k
 composed of musical experts, psychol- ogists, scientists and philosophers Il
 is quite like Congress in that regard
 for Congress decided that it was per
 fectly qualified to pass upon just how
 much of a certain medicine person should have. Congress decided, by
 passing the Nolstead law of course, that intoxicating liquor was medicine and could be given as such. Then 1t went on. under the same law, to tell the world how many doses of this medicine any one person should take-or, at least, it limited the doses.
 So now the New Haven board of aldermen has decided that musical concerts are all right on Sundays be- tween certain hours and then, in its assumed character as guide, philoso- pher and friend of tho people of New Haven it declares that the only proper music for them is of symphonic standard, classical music
 It is really refreshing to find out low very wise members of Congress are and what erudite boards of alder men we have in this state. It is the philosophers business, the psychol- ogist's, the scientists to study the effect of music upon the human sen of course-or it is the busi- ness of the "Sociotologist" as Pro- lessor Sumner insisted upon calling the "sociologist" when we happened to study under him. But it may be that the electors of New Haven did not know their aldermen combined all these phases of knowl- edge. Perhaps, for the sake of the little should be said about it all. Emphasizing these things in the makeup of the aldermen might queer them politically with the ''peepul" forevermore.

STRAINS.

Once in a while thoughttnl man looks about him and wonders if the business he is in is a growing hnsi- ness; if. things look eneouraging for the long future ahead Of him; if the city in which he lives is live city. showing signs Of progress, expansion. if the main industries Of the city seem dead or progressive.
 One who makes a study Of this character looks 10 the comparatively small things. the straws, Rs we'll as 10 the big things. The locating of a new industry In a city is encouraging; evidences Of expansion on the part of the local manufacturing plants Is encouraging; city Improvements Of all kinds arc encouraging,
 These things show that the men who should know the most about 1t have confidence in the city; expect it to grow: expect that their business will grow. When such signs come the man who lives in such city may we'll go on at his work, confident that the best opinion is that the city and workers in 1t have good future 10 look forward to.
 There have been some Of these lit- tie 'straws'' recently. showing conf- dence and the necessity of making provision for increasing business. It was noted in the news columns of this newspaper. yesterday that permits were issued for one factory addition and alteration which will cost some s6o.oo0 and another s15.000 i'm provement was allowed. These, to say nothing of the other building per mits which, while not as numerous in the housing line as one would wish are further "straws," show that New Britain's chief industry of manufac- turing is continuing to look forward | to bigger things.
 At the time when there was consid- erable unemployment here, though not as much as in other cities, some people lost confidence and left the city This newspaper advised loyalty to and belief in the city. Those who followed that advice are justified to- day. New Britain's limit has by no means been reached.

IMAGINE IT HERE!

While this country is raising more than its s6.o00. .oo0 for Japan. and while Japan's rich men are giving abundantly to its sufferers and Japan's government is appropriating s?bo. .00o. .000 10 bring comfort and stability out of chaos. there comes news that is astounding. It is almost unbelievable. Must we look to far of Japan for example for noble ac- ton? The thing the news tells us seems incredible. and yet 1t comes from an authoritative source. Calmly and dispassionately that news is here emphasized.
 Tt is announced" says the dis patch, that heads of the various Japanese Insurance companies have decided to pay their full insurance losses not avaling themselves of the earthquake clauses in their policies"
 Just think Of it! The "earthquake clauses" relieved the Japanese insur- ance companies from liability. New erthcless those companies. almost like living. feeling human beings, have looked upon the terrible havoc ere ated in their country and have said that they will share the burden it has inflicted
 Heads are bowed in respect for Japanese insurance companies.
 Quite evidently Japan Is Japan, and Connecticut is Connecticut.

WEEKLY HARDWARE REPORT
Stronger Buying Tendency Is Report ed from Various Sections of the Country.

Country.
 New York, Sept. 12.-"Hardware Age" in Its weekly market summary, will say tomorrow:
 "A stronger buying tendency is said to be developing in the major whole sale centers throughout the country. The general price structure is steady, although a number of minor readjust- ments. are being made on miscellane- ous items. by manufacturers and job bers. The general opinion among market observers, however. is that no important price changes will be made on standard lines for the balance of this year.
 Deliveries are somewhat improved but jobbers in many sections still re- port delays. Shortages of many standard tools continue. Manufac- turers of both seasonal and staple lines are said to be urging iobbers to anticipate their winter require- ments.
 "The coal strike has not caused any deep concern in the hardware mar kets. The general belief seems to be that settlement will be made be- fore the situation assumes serious proportions. Oil, gas and wood stoves, however. are in strong de- mand."
