man may be down but never "out," so a people may be blind to the benefits of a form of government they have never known and blind to the quality of justice in others, but tanis sort of blindness is not incurable. and the clear path for Germany will prove panacea if she trusts those worthy of trust and does not betray confidence placed in her.
 The World Court has again forced to the attention of those to whom the late President Harding's words were directed when he left upon members of his party the duty of urging the participation of the United States in it. True, the probabilities are that the foreign relations subcommittee will recommend that the proposed partici- patton of this country in the court be limited by an amendment providing that the United States shall agree with the countries supporting the court that the court shall be divorced from the league: and true that the senate will probably refuse to accept the plan even with such needless amend ment. But nevertheless such leaders as Senator Lodge have heard plainly allegations coming from persons in authority and backed by considerable evidence, that the republican slump of 1922 was the result of angry dis appointment" that the administration had made no move for either an as- sociation of nations, or international court. The falling off of the republi- can vote in Massachusetts from 404.- 900 to 1000 plurality, was cited as indicating that 1922 slump.
 As the news from Germany cheers with the thought that the political combination pledged to the Dawes re- port is successful, so this news cheers, that the administration in this country can not long remain indifferent to the growing demand for action in regard to this matter of profound importance the entry of this country into the World Court---a step the value of which has been publicly recognized by administration leaders as they make the gesture only toward the world peace and understanding.

VETERAN OPERATORS|
 HAVE MANY CRASHES
More than S7 Per Cent of All AC-
 CidentS Involve Them

Experienced operators were in. eolyed in over ST per cent Of the au- tomobile accidents reported to tho state motor vehicle department for the month of April. Operators who have held Connecticut licenses less than six months, and many of these had never before been licensed to operate motor vehicles, figured in i2.3 per cent of the April accidents.
 The record for April proved to be the worst for that month of any year since the motor vehicle department was established. Although all of the reports are not yet in, the reports al- ready received show at least 1,200 accidents and thirty-one fatalities in April, putting the total of motor vehicle fatalities for the first four months of 1924 at ~. which is more than twice the number Of fatalities recorded for the corresponding period of 1923.
 About 1.7Oo operators were in- yolyed in Connecticut accidents dur ing April. Accidents involving 1,127 of these have already been analysed. showing that sSs of them had had more than one years experience as licenses operators, and l39 less than six months experience. This is taken 10 indicate that the responsibility cannot be laid to faulty examinations of applicants for drivers licenses.

 There are contests for representa- tive in the second, fifth and sixth con- gressional districts, the most import ant being in the sixth where Frederick x.

 President Coolidge is backed by the republican state organization and party leaders regard his victory In the primary as a forgone conclusion. A light vote is expected.

OUR LARGER INTERESTS

Two items of world news interest lis vitslly today and are not dissociat- ed. One is the apparent victory in Germany of the coalition which is pledged 10 the Dawes report, and the other is the forced renewal of activity in regard 10 the World Court.
 As to Germany there has been great fear on the part of those who dreaded the influence and the growing strength of the Nationalists and the Communists that this influence would weaken the combination of the Social ist, Clerical, Democratic and Peoples parties---the combination out of which the present government was formed. Tho returns of the elections, however, while showing. increased strength of the Nationalists'and Communists, still makes it appear that the successful combination referred 10 will command sufficient majority to put the pro- visions of the Dawes report into exc cution. Incidentally it is good to note that Ludendotff's extreme reactionar- ies did not show the strength they anticipated. It is possible to picture such arrogant leaders as Ludendorff utterly astonished and bcwildercd al the presumption of the German pco- pie in not following their lead. The people. in their sight, have no right 10 raise their voices in protest against anything or 10 speak a word that win influence those born, according to such leaders creed. to rule. Quite probably not until these men die will that ultra radicalism cease to exist in Germany. h the meantime slow progress is being made, at least on the surface. along the lines Of understanding of what democracy means. Not even now do the people or that country. long &C., cusiOmed 10 subseTticnce to their supcriors" realize that self assertion would result in their having no ''st- periors in their own country. at least Theoretically. IT this election continues as the first returns indicate great step viii have been made In the direction Of a better understand ing of democracy's possibilities. es- ueciaiiy 1T fine successful combination Of parties does honestly adopt and follow out. In good faith. the provi- sions of the Dawes report.
 Another satisfactory feature Of the German elections is line heavy toie cas, and the freedom from ou'breass which accompany ihs voting. As a

passed in all of last year. The ma iority of those examined had never held operators licenses previously, but there were many of course. who had operated automobiles in other states and some who were required to be re-examined because more than a year had elapsed since they pre- yiously held a Connecticut license.
 Operators 2s years old are shown by the department records to have figured in larger percentage of of last years accidents than those Of any other age, and 25-year-old opera tors came second, As a class. the opera between 20 and 80 years old held the record, being involved in SIS per cent Of the accidents for the year. Of all the operators registered last year, 29.3 per cent were between 20 and 30 yeap old.

SWEEPING CHARGES

This comment has nothing at all to do with the merits or otherwise Of vaccination. People are entitled to tAeir opinion regarding it as we'll as regarding other subjects.
 The sole reason for this comment is a desire to emphasize the fact that no one has a right to make sweeping charges against any class of men, doc tors. merchants. lawyers or day la borers. including them all in his con- demnation. An editorial identical with this might we'll be written had someone accused all the members of congress. many of whom are lawyers, of passing laws merely for the purpose Of making more business for lawyers.
 It happens to be the physicians who are accused at the moment. By stating publicly, as one individual is reported to have done, that compulsory vac eination is the result solely of the physicians attempt 10 make more money. the accusation Is made that every physician who favors compul- sory vaccination is nothing more nor less than scoundrel who favors a move to use human beings. whether to their benefit or hurt, for his own selfish purposes
 Let 1t be granted. if necessary, that there are in existence doctors who are glad of such a law because it may mean added business for them. We by no means admit this, but let it be as- sumed. Granted that there may bc arguments sincerely advanced against compulsory vaccination. Granted these things, and yet there are few men and women in this country today who be- lieve that many physicians, men de- voting their lives to healing tho sick, would countenanee for minute the prostitution of their profession 10 the point of compelling people to do something they did not want to do were 1t not for an honest conviction that in this way only can a dreaded disease be overcome.
 We believe thoroughly in free speech, and that much more harm is done by trying to stine the "argu- ments" of. men of radical ideas than there is by allowing them to have they say The attitude of a martyr appeals to many. We believe that nothing can be lost by hearing both sides of a question. and we do not believe that thing is right merely because it is generally accepted 10 be right.
 But we do have faith In the honesty and sincerity of the great mass of the people Of the country, and we have especial faith in men who devote their lives to the car Of the body and whose ardent desire Is to alleviate suf- fering. to cure disease. The man who declares they are all party to a vile movement to smirch their profession by advocating laws merely for selfish reasons has preiudiced his case before he utters another word.

WAR MOTHERS STILL

Ii seems that the Mothers Day in- tefnational association does not like the idea Of having the American War Mothers continue their active interest in former service men and present men in service. or else the interna- fional organization has misunderstood entirely the plan of inc American War mothers to sell boutonnicres and car- nations on Saturday, May 10. in 2 nation-wide observance of Mothers Day which falls on the sunday fol- lowing.
 At any rate the interliational as- soeiatioD has denounced inc plan. and the American War Mothers have quietly but firmly objected to such interfereBce.
