Henry's Weird Ideas
of English Government.
The Fennimore Times says !:

The Fenn1mOre Times says:
England at present presents the
curious antithesis of having a king
and a labor leader premier. SUCH
condition is possible perhaps in no
other country. Whose influence will
be the more powerful, MacDonald's or
the kings? MacDonald's We trust.
Anything reducing the power of
monarchs anywere in the world
should be hailed with delight"
That's Henry for you all over; al
ways sticking up for the working man
and giving the titled aristocrats
thunder. However, for Henry's infor-
nation, there need be no query as to
whose power will be the greatest, the
kings or the premier's. According to
English law and custom the premier
holds the reins of government the
king simply carrying out his functd on
of asking the prime minister to form
cabinet and run the country. This
function, insofar as the king is con-
cerned, is automatic. He has no
choice and little to say about govern
ment.
In a monarchial democracy, such
as England's, the king is a figure
head. Their theory of government de-
mands a keystone for the arch and
the British pay the Guelph family a
pretty penny to preserve tradition
Then the people kow-tow to the no.
bility in various ways and both sides
enjoy it. The nobility likes the defer
ence and the poor cuss enjoys the
showiness of the upper classes and
appreciates a chance to tip his cap.
But that doesn't affect governmental
affairs in the least.

Use of Club Room
BY the American Legion.

Some discussion has taken pace
over the use of the community CLUB
room by the American Legion
Legion members assume because
their order was not named they can
not use the club room for monthly
meetings.
This view is incorrect. The legion
ia entitled to the use of the club room
once or twice a month as necessary
for meeting purposes. No order will
he allowed to use the club room as a
general hang-out. AS the legion does
not desire to do this there seems 10
be no issue for controversy.

Poverty is No
Sign of Honesty.


We often fear that Uncle Henry be-
long to the school of thinkers who as
sumo because man is poor he is
honest or because he is rich he is
crooked. That is we assume this
when we read Henry's effusions on
labor or democratic subjects. Such
conclusions are certainly erroneous.
We have seen lately how crooked
labor can be when labor czars get to
riding with a high hand, bombing,
smuggling and manning to preserve
their leadpipe cinch on industry We
also see how sweetly things run in in
dustry when a benevolent despot like
Henry Ford conducts his business on
a square but mammoth scale, doubles
wages, makes everybody deliver the
goods and won't retain a person of
bad character. No question at any
time as to who the boss is. If you
don't know; start something and find
out
AS a rule when a man is successful
it is because he understands the fun
damentals of fair dealing, industry
and thrift and practices them. Henry
himself is shining example of this
principle. And no worth while per-
son begrudges man success If he
has achieved it in the right way.

uDD's ALLEGATIONS

Alderman W, Ii, Judd, Republican leader in the Common Council. and a true representative of the local Re- publican attitude. made representa- lions last evening at meeting of that august body which. to say the least, are serious and should be proven II the considerate gentleman has the ability to prove them. He insinuated that someone higher up' had gotten to Chief Of Police Hart and allowed games Of chance for money to be run at a recent carnival. Tn other words he said that graft existed in tho city, presumbaby practiced by some per sons. in political position.
 If the alderman had some informa- tion concerning grating by any indi- vidual 1t is his sworn duty to expose that graft, no matter whom 1t concerns If he has not that information but i. merely relying upon gossip it would be better to keep his mouth closed. It may be that some residents at least, of the city take his words and his position far more seriously than he does Ifshe has made allegations that he cannot confirm it is certainly indicative of lack of thought, or the allowing of his prejudice against Chief Hart to overcome his better judgment. He owes an explanation to New Britain. If he cannot explain he owes an apology.
 Providing the alderman really has something definite against some indi- vidual here he can perform a great public service by bringing to light his proofs. If he has nothing definite and has simply let his words flow re- gardless of their consequence he had better quit his job as an official In a deliberative, administrative body of city fathers don a mother hubbard dress and a sunbonnet and go hang over the garden fence with the rest of the gossips, where his thoughts and his words will be received. with the credit that is due them.
 There may have been gambling at the carnival, it may have been allowed by the authorities. there may have been graft. Now let's see if there was and why, Mir. Alderman. Pro- duce your proofs and gain fin public confidence; fall to do so and suffer deserved lack of public esteem.

A NEW RAILROAD STATION.

The mayor and railroad committee of the common council will carefully consider the resolution of Councilman Frank S. Caldwell calling for negotia- lions with the New Haven railroad re- earding the construction of a passen- ger station on the main line of the railroad In the eastern section of the city.
 Construction of such a station would eliminate the present centrally located station for through traffic, and would be more convenient. But whether such inconvenience would be more than compensated for by having a station with main line advantages will have to be determined by the persons having the matter under con- sideration.
 The plan Is not new one, but so long as passenger service to and from New Britain is deemed unsatisfactory agitation to improve It Will continue It Is the part of wisdom to discuss all angles of the matter in advance of contemplated action. It may take years before something definitely is attempted to improve passenger serV- Ice arrangements in New Britain, but ultimately a new station will be constructed.

SAYS ADVERTISING
 HAS WELDED NATION
E. I: Meredith's Paper Is Read in London
,y The Associated Press. /


 London. July 17.--An address by E. T. Meredith Of Des Moines, Iowa. on How Advertising Has Welded the United States Market" was this after noon read before the convention of the Associated Advertising clubs of the world. now in session in London.
 MT. Meredith, in tEe beginning, re- viewed the barriers that exist in America to uniform buying customs throughout the AS states. He referred to the geographical barriers found in mountain chains; the different cima- tic conditions in winter, for instance, between Florida on the south and the Canadian border on the north; the great distances north, east, south and west; the distribution of population. S2,000,0O0 people on farms, 45,00O,- 900 in cities and 29,000,0O0 in towns, and the question of sectional, indus trial and agricultural production.
 Nevertheless" Mir. Meredith de- clared, the use of locally manufac- tured products made from locally pro- duced raw materials is nationwide, and this has been accomplished by ad- vertising. Nationally known and na- itonally used products have been ad- vertised throughout the nation. and the heads of these concerns will tell you that universal sales would not have been possible without this pub- licity."
 To explain what national advertis- ing meant in dollars and cents. the speaker. related the sums of money spent yearly by we'll known firms deal- ing in automobiles, foodstuffs, cloth- ing, etc., etc. In conclusion he, said:
 T hope have made clear to you that in the first place nearly all of the natural conditions in the United States work against national distribution of products and that the line of least re- sistance, the easy way out as 1t were, would have developed in the United States not single buying unit as we find it today. We would have had number of local or sectional com munites to large extent sufficient unto themselves each going its own way with it's own customs. living con- ditions, and the use of commodities necessary for it's we'll being. But far seeing men saw what might have been considered as definite trade barriers only as trade problems to be solved in some way. To solve the problem, they. with almost no exception, turned to misunderstanding to establish national consumption of their product in q. vast country. The wise and ln- tcligent use of advertising in all its forms has succeeded in it's purpose ot welding the United States market.

IMMIGRATION BOOTLEGGlNG.

Since the passage of the immigra- ton law rumors have been current that bootlegging in immigration will be a serious development giving fed- eral officers something new to worry about
 The cost to an immigrant who seeks to bootleg himself into this country would be so considerable however. that it would not be gener- ally attempted. In the first place, the immigrant bootleggcr would need 10 get here by a circuitous course; in the second place. the bootlegger who at tempted to smuggle him into the country would not be working and taking risks for the pleasure in it. but would want good pay.
 Bootlegging Of immigrants through Canada and Mexico, of course, would offer inc easiest field; but the officials in at least one Of these countries -- Canada -- are not asleep. and 1t IS questionable whether much or this threatened country could be developed through that gateway.
 Conditions in Mexico are different The border between the two countries is long and parts of it are Isolated At such places almost anybody can rross it without detection 1t is said. In fact. there always has been a cer- tain amount of smuggling of humans going on from Mexico: but that the trade" will take on large propor- lions Is doubtful.

For those who have not the courage to attend dancing academies where private instructors are supplied, VIC publish the following instructions on the correct method of conduct for gentlemen on the dance floor;
 To dance the fox-trot. Encirele the girl with your right arm and place your hand. palm in. on her thirteenth vertepra. counting from the top down. Don't fail to make this count as you will find that 1t will amuse her greatly. Then grasp her right hand in your left, fastening the little fingers with . half-hitch. You will now find her facing you with her face buried in your shirt front. When all is ready, step out and bear in mind that every little movement helps.
 To waltz. The grip is similarly ap- piled as to that in the fox-trot. If the girl is at all beautiful, the time is twenty-two heart beats to the second. It is customary to lead off with the left foot and extremely bad form is shown if you lead off with both. Glide but never slip.
 To sit out the dance. All that is needed is a girl and car which may be selected at the door. Though you may lose your heart, do not lose your head Your dress shirt will aid you to put up a stiff front.
