LESS GOVERNMENT

Four stories of combinations of large magnitude figured in the pub lie prints the past few days. The Shipping Boards sale of five gov ernment liners plying the Pacific to the Dollar company at bid lower than that offered by the Pacific Mail Co.,; the purchase by a bank ing syndicate of a number of auto mobile concerns; the voting of d majority of Chesapeake &S Ohio stockholders to uphold the' lease of the railroad to the Van Sweringen brothers, who control the Nickel Plate railroad and the standard oil of Indiana deal.
 The Sherman Antitrust act of a hygone generation is still on the books, In the heydey of its use as d deterrent against combinations it would have been applicable in at least two of the present instances. How rusty the antitrust law has become is deducible from the fact that the government sells it's liners 10 a company that will have vir- tual monopoly of most of the Amer ican seagoing trade on the Pacific, and tacitly consents to the forma- ton of the new railroad merger indeed, such mergers nowadays are encouraged.
 Either the big combinations are considered as having justified them selves or governmental and popu- lar sentiment has changed in the last 30 yeapz

PAYING FOREIGN DEBTS IN GOODS OR MONEY

Senator Butler of Massachusetts S is one Of those astute observers who have been wondering how Europe Is going to pay its debts to the United States. Not wishing to put the cart before the horse, he starts with the interest on the debts, and notes that it is mounting rapidly; but except for Great Britain, no serious effort is being made elsewhere in Europe to consider either interest or debts to America in any other light than that they are disagreea bIe figures on the ledgers of the various chancelories.
 There was time when the doc tors Of economy and the diagnosti- clans of finance held that Europe would have to pay her debts to the United States in goods. But one hears little Of this premise nova days. Senator Butler opines that to enable Europe to pay her debts in this manner the American tariff would have to be less like our sky scrapers; and from what we can judge of Senator Buffers opinion on the eubject, he would rather have the high tariff and no foreign goods in payment of foreign debts than low tariff and payment of the debts in manufactured articles. In fact, Senator Butler is credited with tariff-raising scheme next fall that will be breath-taking.
 There is a large block of citizens who want the high tariff to keep out foreign goods and still insist upon the payment of the foreign war debts, with interest. There is an old saying that one cant have his pudding and eat it at the same time. but whether it would apply to this case we are not prepared 10 say.

CLEARING HEADLIGHTS ARE NUISANCES

The glaring headlight nuisance continues unabated, making driving at night an hazardous undertaking and being the direct cause of numer- ous accidents.
 Improperly adjusted and exces- sively brilliant headlights form a species of reckless driving. Binding approaching autoists 50 that they are unable to see ahead is worse than being a roadhog.
 Both the State police and the motor vehicle department seem to be blind to the menace.
 searchlight automobile headlights are also nuisance in cities. Their use at night is quite as dangerous as speeding. Just the other day a woman auto driver was killed in Meriden when blinded by search- light. And day or so following a man was killed near Waterbury from the same cause. It Is time for the police-city and state-to take mo- tlce of the nuisance.

THE FRENCH CPHEAVAL
 OVER FINANCES

France Is having rather exciting time in an attempt to reform its fiscal policies. Everyone in France admits the need of reform; everyone admits the budget must be properly balanced; everyone admits the gov ernment requires more income with which to do it; but everybody does not agree upon the need for in- creased taxes.
 Methods that have been attempted to get the hoard of gold, still in cust ody of the peasants, into circu- lation take on the aspects of comic opera. It appears that the peasants insist on preferring old socks, trunks and storm cellars to any other method of conserving wealth, and attractive offers by the government of exchanging various degrees and shades of paper currency for the gold has been unavailIng. Even gilt-edged government bonds have lost their lure The peasant knows as we'll as the government that gold is the real article and thinks his wealth is best conserved by hang ing onto the available supply Of vel low metal.
 But the real bone of contention is the plan to levy harsh additional taxes. Some say what the govern ment proposes to do is 10 levy capital tax This probably has been at the bottom of the split in the cabinet, and the resignation of the finance minister when his ideas re- garding financial reform were fout- cd.
 The effort of the government to encourage the use Of cheeks by the people has met with failure. An American cannot understand such extraordinary conservatism, Tender a Frcnchman a check in payment of a service and he immediately sug- gessA tA polite but ihsistent terms,

necessarily better dynamos oi

 In this respect public speaking
 operates tn a different groove than
 public writing. The speaker must
 bring his own personality, quick wit, mental resouroetuness, gestlculation and ready use of words to bear, He cannot pause to think, he must not fater. The writer does not suffer from most of these requirements: hc invariably has time to pause, time 10 think and time to polish words and phrases. But he suffers from lacking inability to intrude his per- sonality and visual bearing and manner before his audience. His thoughts meet public scrutiny in "cold type" whereas the speakers thoughts take wing during the warm personal contact with an audi ence.
 When a lecture or address is en- balmed in type 1t frequently loses much Of those qualities that caused it 10 be regarded as good speech" This is due to the elimination of the original grace of delivery, emphasis and the arts of oratory generally. Nothing remains except the intrinsic value of the thoughts expressed. Thus we find the average sermon, or the average learned address, dull reading. Whereas excess verbiage is no great evil in an address, 1t turns into a monotonous nuisance when translated into type.
 Some public speakers, wishing to stick closely to the details of their subject, read their important ad- dresses. But as soon as they begin such a short cut to careful presenta- ton, they lessen the spontaneous attention due to their audience, stultify effective delivery, adopt a monotoy of intonation, lack in em- phasis, and lose in just those quail ties of effectiveness that hearers most desire.
 The Y. M. c. A. class Is pursuing a good object. A man may have worthy ideas, invigorating thoughts and a message that people will be glad to hear, but he cannot get half as far with the ingredients of his mind if he cannot present them &C., ceptably to an audience.

 The governments latest effort to improve the situation by increasing the note circulation, so as 10 cir cumvcnt the shortage of currency. has resulted in charges that further intlation Is seing attempted. which Inc government denied. The truth | Is that French industry, which is actiNe' cannot proceed upon the basis Of franc which has fallen to about a fourth of its original value. The resultant increase In prices has made an enormous demand upon the available supply of paper money. and there simply isn't enough of it 10 fulfil business needs. One would naturally think that the logical method would be to manufacture enough paper 10 meet the demands; but immediately one is confronted with the ugly designation of "infla- tion."
 The French are a prudent lot in money matters. It is impossible to fool the peasant with any speclous reasoning about money. He knows what constitutes good money and hangs onto what he has salted away. It is likewise impossible to fool the business community with fancy schemes masquerading under vari- ous names but amounting to inf1a- ton. And 1t Is impossible to con- vince the French public that an enormous increase in taxes is neces- sary. Faced with such an attitude by the public. the French govern ment Is In a quandary that may mean the end of the Herriot regime; but it would mean the end of any other political regime under similar circumstances.
 The French people cannot play poker with their finances indefinite ly, and sooner or later the lesson will have to be learned that government income must balance the outgo and make provision for payment of legitimate debts. It may take time to break the shell of conservatism but ultimately it will happen.

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS PURSUES HIGH OBJECT

That class in public speaking at the Y. NJ. c. A. undoubtedly will learn lot But whether 1t will learn enough to compete with a natural born" talker, or one pe- cuiarly endowed with the gift of gab" is to be doubted. There are some things about public speaking that cannot be taught and cannot be learned, which the students at the Y. M. c. A. will quickly dis cover.
 . There is nothing more lamentable amo..g public speakers than to cul- tivate such self-conscious polish, cultured suavity and machine-like oratory as to submerge every vestige of originality and personality,
 There have been talented young men who have become clergymen. While preparing for their calling at religious colleges they became we'll grounded In the elements of public speaking. Too many of them ap- pear to have studied the same rules, for 1t is undeniable that there has been a sameness in the product that has given small scope to personall- ty. Such snorters at iniquity and phraseology experts as Billy Sunday do not give evidence of having had their natural oratorical inclInatIons guided along conventional lines of dignity through too much study of stuffy schoolroom rules. Such an ob- servation of course, has nothing to do with whether one personally agrees or fails to agree with the particular doctrines preached by the gentle man.
 The same holds true of lawyers, Some of them are regarded as good "oflce lawyers or as good trial law yers, and the minority as good jury or criminal lawyers. Most of the legal craft also gives evidence Of 6 same ness in adhesion to schoolroom rules of rhetoric and too little reliance upon ebulHent emotions that are best expressed in an individualistic man. ner that does not submerge originali- ty in method; or the personality that the Almighty gave but which man in his inferior wisdom fre- quently attempts to eradicate. We have heard college professors them- selves. appearing before an audience, failing to drive home their Latin, historical and literary quotations with any degree of force: and often such persons are followed upon the same platform by others who do not quote Latin, history or literature but gorge their audiences with emotional and lusty approval.
 The entire matter revcrts to basis Of salesmanship. The public speaker must have some ideas worth communicating to his hearers, otherwise it would be a waste of time to have him speak. It is not always that the man with the best ideas succeeds in projecting them to the best advantage; very fre- quently the man with poorer ideas, but more cracutar force, persuasive ness and personality succeeds in convincing his audience where the others fail. and in the public mind are usually regarded as superior public speakers. And they arc better public speakers-although not

REHABUITATING AUSTRIA; LOANS AND TAXES

One Of the periodical serious crises" for which continental na- tions have become notorious has hit Austria. where financial troubles have imposed heavy difficulties upon the government.
 AS was to have been expected, the method adopted to tide her over the shoals has been to make loans, with the League of Nations "laying down rules" for their repayment. The government. however, failed to carry out the instructions, and was Ire buked" by the Council of the League.
 Dr. Rudolph Ramek, the new chancellor, who succeeded Mgr. Sci pei when the latter threw up his hands In disgust last November, has been afflicted with the commendable idea that loans, once they are made, must be repaid and is raising the money therefore by in1icting certain unpopular new taxes. The ensuing howl indicates that nothing is as un- popular as high taxes, in Austria as elsewhere. If Dr. Damek, a young man Of 42 years, can hold to his job throughout the turmoil, taxes will be very high along the Danube.
 The population of the present Austria is only 6,000,O0O people. But the unwieldly government employees 600,00O civil servants. Some Euro pean governments certainly are run along peculiar lines.

and why.
 Committee Chairman--ons who reminds constantly the people at . hearing that everybody has at least the right to be heard in Connecticut. Law Making
 Tn response to the man on the street the Observe will attempt to explain how an idea can ripen into a law via the state legislature. Mir. K" of Meriden has the idea that all public officials could have mechanical lobby horses. He gets Senator - to introduce 1t by request. 1t is given q number and title Concerning Public officials" The title is read out in the senate and referred to its proper commit tee for Q hearing.
 The hearing is advertised and Mir. 'S" appears before the committee and tells what q fine thing 1t would be for public health and safety. etc.
 The bill then goes back to the senate and the clerk reads, An act to compel all public officials to ride mechanical lobby horses. favorable report of the committee on exercise. The senators then accept tho com mitts report and pass the bill, the lower house passes the bill also. and the governor signs it. It then be-. comes law, and Mir. "X' idea has ripened into a compulsion.
 Commentators at the state capitol in Hartford had much to say this week about the quiet and effective leadership of House Leader Ben- jamin W. filling of the city. who was probably more responsible than any other individual for the adoption by the house of the Sunday sports bill.
 Other leaders in years past have tried to secure the enactment of a bill which would liberalize sports on the Sabbath without turping the day into a Roman holiday. It re- mained for the Leader filling to put the measure through the house and 1t Is believed that 1t will be received favorably in the senate.
 It is coincident that George w Klett, Mir. filings law partner. sue ceeded in putting through the senate bill permitting motion picture shows on Sunday. That measure. like the Sunday sports bill, traveled a rocky road before 1t was enacted into law. For three terms, the then Senator Klett worked for it. but it was not until 1919 that il became law.
 Representative filling is looked upon at the strongest" man in the legislature. He has host of friends who have confidence in his judgment and who support his leadership.

Dr. Baldpatp's Camera

It was to Dr. George A. Bald pate that Marion Ross naturally turned for advice regarding the purchase of a new camera.
 There is only one real camera in the world" he said. That is the one which you see there on the mantel. It can almost talk, that camera.
 Take the films, for instance. The spool. designed for long trips, car ries film for 100 exposures. It is then reversed, automatically, and an entirely different set of pictures taken on the other side. It will take either colored or monochrome pie lures and, by the adjustment Of that button on the side, becomes a nov ing picture camera. The fash-light pan is always ready for discharge in case of sudden darkness.
 "One of its great advantages is that it not only takes the picture but also develops, prints. and mounts it, up 10 half dozen, thus doing away with any cumbersome, portable darkroom. By combining the latest developments of science with 1t have fitted it with a radio transmtter, making 1t possible ;. :"
 Hold on a minute" we burst in. Let's have a look at that thing"
 The doctor lifted it down from the mantel but. as he turned to- ward us. his hands slipped, The camera fell with a crash! He picked it up. shook it. and gazed at us solemnly.
 Ruined" he said, ruined .. and it took me l? years 10 perfect 1t. Heigh-ho, such Is life. How about q slight lip-soother?
