ITNUgAI PROCIsSIONS

Attention has been called to the frequent breaking into funeral process sions recently. An instance the other day was cited when three different vehicles deliberately drove through the line of mourners on their way 10 pay tribute 10 the memory of one who had died.
 Old things arc passing. Sentiment is hidden in these days when tradition is losing it's power: when the customs of our fathers and their fathers fathers are deridcd merely because they were the customs Of those long gone. But even those who praise progress, those who sec the enlightenment that comes each day as old things arc seen from new angles and much of She supersti- ton Of the old days in giting way be- fore the clear explanations of logical ninds-evcn these hope that never will there depart the so oHtimcnt which prompts thought Of othefs--the senti- fneni which shows respect for others sorrow. the sentiment which inspires men and women to stand and wait re- spcctfully while those who mourn their dead pass by on their way to the grave.
 There are minimizing people in the
New Britain herald., 1924-03-13

world. just as there are and probably always will be persons with no thought for the lives or property of others For the men and women of criminal tendencies laws against theft. murder and other crimes are passed. There would be no need of such laws to keep a majority of the people from appropriating the money or goods of others; from taking another's life. You yourself are convinced that you would not steal even were there no punish ment to be inflicted upon you if you did become thief. But nevertheless laws against theft are necessary for those who would become thieves were they not in fear Of the punishment in
 iicted upon those who steal.
 Most people. driving vehicles through the streets. stop when they meet funeral procession. Instinct, a sense of deccncy prevents their break ing through and thus scoffing at a sacred ceremonial. But others have no such sensihilitics. They think nothing of the sadness in the hearts of those who mourn. They have no feeling of impropriety when they drive on through such funeral procession.
 And so the city adopted an ordl- nance comparatively recently, forbid ing such practice. A funeral process sion must be allowed to pass on its sad way to the grave, unmolested by the thoughtlcss, the thick-skinned. The ordinance was not necessary to keep many from committing this breach Of ordinary decency. That it was needed for some is evident from the recent occurrences.

 But the people of the city all of us, have another and perhaps a more difficult duty. to perform. To many there may seem sense in the sugges tion. But science is firm on it. One who is terribly upset fearing a certain disease. is far more apt to become q victim of it than one who remains calm, taking the proper precautions, hut not thrown into a state of weak cning fear because of the possibility of becoming dangerously ill. Consider the situation calmly; refuse 10 become excited; take every precaution and do all that you can. personally. 10 spread the spirit of cColncss and confidence that the emergency is being and will continue to be met wisely. Don't re- peat unfoundrd stories that his man or that child or woman has the disease. Don't tell others that the officer who was on the beat in the neighborhood Of smallpox himself has the discase-- he has not. Don't repeat unfounded gossip about the chances and do not exaggcrate the seriousness of the sit nation
 And do-aD of us-follow the eX- ample of the health superintendent of the city Dr. Pullen, in doing what We think right after calm thought and after consultation with medical eX- perts, no matter 10 what inconvenience it may put us.

THE PROPER SPIRIT

Night before last-quitc probably you remember it--was a pretty good time to stay at home and be comforta- ble. The inyeterate 'goer-out," even, was likely to remark that he thought he'd put the old car to bed and stick close to the fireside-or the kitchen stove as the case may be.
 But one hundred and fifty women had some courage, They did not stay at home; raths they faced the storm and went out to try to learn something worth while. The occasion was rally Of the democratic women of this city at the Elks hall. The women who attended, in spite Of the bad weather, are not praised especially because they are democratic women nor be- cause the rally was n democratic rally. The spirit Of these women is com mcnded because 1t diseloses a desire to play their parts in the work that has at last been given 10 them to do.  They are among the individuals upon whose shoulders rests, in the last analysis, the duty of providing and sustaining good government for our country. No woman, and no man for that matter, can give valuable help, even by his ballot, If he or she allows the weather or other obstacle to in- spire him or her to remain inactive. Especially just now when We are find ing out, through proofs, that things are not right in Washington, and when chance for a showdown is coming with, 1t Is to be hoped, good results, every man and woman should take a far deeper interest than ever before in what is going on in . this government.
 The speaker Of inc evening made T plea for laws to help the children. Tn this one may sympathize with her thoroughly. But one statement she made--and the interesting part of fl has nothing to do with politics may well be questioned.
 "1 believe a greater measure Of success has been attained through fear of failure than by way Of any other medium" she said. Well, welll Where goes the theory Of auto-sug- gestion--the better and better every day" of Monsieur Couc? And where goes the idea that confidence begets confidence or the belief that if one feels sure of success, holds ones head high and goes ahead absolutely posi- tive that one will attain ones goal?
 No. the fear Of failure is not com ductiye to success. The danger Of over- confidence is q real danger, Of course. But confidence. belief in the likelihood of success if proper energy is shown. does far more to bring achievement than does rear Of failure"
 This. however, is quite beside the point. The matter that is worthy Of comment is that i50 women, typical fl is to be hoped Of the women who will do all for the country that is ex- pcctcd or them. thought nothing of inc storm when there was something to be learned in a comparatively new field.

Poincare honestly why England's sore on France-she thinks France is try ing to ruin Germany, which keeps British trade upset, and she spends so much on soldiers that she can't pay her English debts. Poincare, not a bit angry, replies France doesn't want Germany's ruin but her money; as for her debts, she's trying to get out of an awful hole and will pay as soon as she can. If England and France can get together, they hope America will help them out.
