Another Point For Suffrage (,
Score one more for. woman suf-
rage! 41
The first of this years legisla-
lures to act on the child labor
amendment was that of California
which ratified it as its first act, by
nearly 10 to l, on the fourth day of
its session. And some Of the leg
islators frankly avowed that their
precipitancy and unanimity were due
to fear of the women voters.
If these women did not vote, and
were not organized, their lobby
might have been treated at best
with condescending politeness. As
it was, they scarcely needed even
to argue the matter. Legislators fell
over each other, in the rush for the
band wagon. d..
This is quite as it should be, in a
democracy. The band-wagon legis-
lator is, to be sure, not the highest
type, and the California legislature
contains many of the better sort
who do right from conviction. =
But if any representatives are to
take orders from anybody-let it be
from the people. And no better ex-
preston Of the real will of the peo-
pie could be found than the voice
of fine, organized women, who know
how to persuade gently, but are. not
afraid to hint at the big stick.

Well Worth the Price
1t turns out that the Loeb-Leo-
pold defense attorneys got fee of
$4,000. 1t was worth it, to the
families, of course, to keep the stain
of hanging off their escutcheon.
1t was worth it more, for the OPP

educate the public in the modern
knowledge of crime as fact to be
studied as we'll as wrong to be

The culprits in this case are, of

A QUARTER CENTURY
OF THE MONUMENT

There are two classes of resi-
dents in New Brltaln--those who DO
not remember the time when the
Civil War monument did not grace
Central park, and those who re-
member the time when the shaft
was not there. It was only rs years
ago that the monument was dedi-
Gated and since that time many OF
those who "agitated' the best part
OF 80 years before the monument
finally was an accomplishment now
agitate no more. Since that time a
new generation is on the scene to
admire the fruits of the previous 80
years OF agitation and said new
generation is inclined to assist In
the agitation for another memorial
TO commemorate heroic deeds Of
citizens in the two wars since the
days OF 's1-'65.
The present monument Is so con-
spicuously attractive, and fits In
with It's sylvan surroundings so ex-
dusitely, that It is easily remember
ed by all visitors to the city. 1t has
become the city's most impressive
downtown landmark
The more people are constantly
brought face 10 face with a monu-
ment the greater it's influence upon
their minds, For this reason II
perhaps was fortunate that the
Central Park site was chosen rather
than a site In Walnut Hill park.
The citizens OF the past who
brought about this handsome me-
mortal for those from New Britain
who did their bit to help preserve
the Union conquered discourage
ments and finally consummated a
noble purpose. Citizens of the pres
ent, who likewise have 1t in mind
to erect a memorial, ultimately will
also accomplish their aim.

within the meaning Of the treaty.

the question will be thrown open

There was not a single case OF

New York, Sept. Fl P-Memory
of his father, shot to death by a
hold-up man 10 years ago, caused
joseph Stein. to lower the pistol with
which he was threatening the life
of David Kennedy, manager Of a
grocery store at Goth street and Lex
ington avenue yesterday and bolt
from the store, so unnerved that two
members of the homicide squad
easily captured him a few minutes
later.
Joseph wept as he told the police
his story, He had been without
work, he said, and was hungry. He
planned the robbery as the last re-
sort. 1t was his first attempt, but
when he had Kennedy at his mercy,
his nerves failed him. He did not
run from Kennedy, he said, but from
the memory of his dead father.
After being questioned Stein was
taken to police headquarters where
he was charged with attempted rob-
berry and violation of the Sullivan
law.

Night Had Spectacular Rise In
Business and Politics.

years old had for several terms
served the democratic party, both in
the state senate and the house OF

months ago.

we're John and Margaret Keana

ALIEN PROPERTY-TO
KEEP OR RETURN IT

Not until the beginning of 1925
will the total amount OF American
private claims against Germany be
definitely known to the Mixed
Claims Commission. Congress will
then have to decide whether the
private property is TO be returned
in whole or in part and spirited
debate is forecasted especially as
Senator Borah, chairman Of the
Senate foreign relations committee,
has strongly advocated an immedi-
ate and unconditional return of the
property ION moral grounds"
It is important that citizens know
the underlying grounds for the
holding OF private property of citt-
zens In former enemy countries.

Of July 2. 1921, which terminated
the war with Germany and Austria,
the former enemy property became

blame the other, of course; the
klansmen say they are attacked
and the anti -Klansmen declare
they are unnecessarily shot at. But

fact that a Khan krowd has the
temerity to hold konclave in a
