THE NEED OF UNITY

block is owned and occupied by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The other, still
larger and better equipped, is the home of
the United States Chamber of Commerce
Labor speaks with a single voice, through
the organization quartered in it's large and
elaborate building. Industry speaks with a
single voice, through the organization quar-
tered in it's still larger and more elaborate
building. Both get very largely everything
they ask in legislation for the betterment of
their interests. Agriculture has no large
and imposing headquarters in Washington,
and what is more important, it does not
speak with a single voice. 1t must do so if
American agriculture is to secure and hold
it's. place in the American economic struc-
ture. Agriculture is working in chat direc-
tion, through it's commodity, livestock and
social organizations, but because those en-
gagged in it are so numerous, are of SO vastly
varied types and are so financially restrict
ed, the progress is necessarily slow. Until
the time has arrived when agriculture's var
led forces are in united and consistent a ray,
that industry will lag unless there is recog-
milton of its needs and of the benefits that
will accrue to all communities through the
proper meeting of them. Farming, and the
business interests which directly serve it

ties now for accomplishing betterments in
much less than the past years have afforded.
Farmers do not ask nor want the people OF
the towns doing things "for" them, aud in
recognition and commentator of this spirit,

ly offer their cooperation with" them in
any way it can be of help, and so further the
common interests Of both town and country.
In the face of impending disaster the
average human being is pretty much of a
coward. This was very forcibly illustrated
at the burning of Montreal theatre few
days ago when 33 were killed and several
were injured in stampede following the
alarm of fire. 1t was the old law of self
preservation rampant in the face of disaster.
A correspondent to the Minneapolis Tri-
bune day or two ago, in discussing the
seating of Frank L. Smith as United States
Senator from Illinois said, "the good people
of Illinois did not vote for Smith as only
about so per cent of the voters voted at
the primary" Additional evidence that more
corruption exists under the primary election
than at any period of the "boss ruled
conventions" The Herald hopes the day is
not far distant when Mr. Average American
Citizens will feel enough responsibility of his
citizenship to exercise his or her right of
suffrage at the polls.

DICTURESQUELY situated in a
lovely valley at the foot Of the
Green mountains in the southwestern
corner of Vermont is the peaceful viii
lage of Bennington, settled in 1851.
Here, on August 1G, 17T7, when the
British attempted to capture the sup
plies housed in the continental store
house, was fought the battle of Ben
nington, between the British army and
the New Hampshire militia.
Here. atop State-Arms hall. over
looking scenes of great natural beauty
and the graves of the heroic dead, on
August 10, 1S91-the centennial ami
versary Of the admission of Vermont
to the Union-there was dedicated
Vermont's first historical monument,
erected by the states of Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire and Vermont
and the national government, at a
cost approximating $4,000. Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison was among
those present and addressed the as
sembled multitude.
This simple but lofty granite pie is
said to be the highest battle memo
rial in the world. 1t is 81 feet square
at the ground and over 300 feet high.
It's walls are feet 6 inches thick.
New England granite was used in its
construction. Its sides draw in slight

two-thirds of the way up there are a
number of openings through which
sightseers may view the surrounding
landscape These openings are
reached by a steel and wrought-iron
stairway built within the monument

memorial stands in mute testimony
to generations to come of the struggle

World War Victims
Found After 9 Years

The bodies of seven members Of the
10th who were killed in action at the
battle of Montfaucon have been dis
covered in an isolated shell hole in

A search by the war department has
been in progress on French battle
fields for nine years in an effort to
locate and identify all American dead,
and the discovery of the seven was
an incident of that work.
The bodies in the shelf hole included
that of Lieut.. William A. Sheehan,
Company F, 315th Infantry, whose
home was in Washington, D. G. With

SAFETY ON THE PIKE

More traffic signs, more cops,
more arrests, more everything-that
is the plan to make the Milford pike
safe.
With ali this in the works the
death highway no doubt will be-
come safer Lives must be saved
somehow.
The New Haven Journal
hit the nail on the head:
THE question would seem to be,
not that a highway 80 feet in width
is a dangerous thing to provide, but
that the generation of Automobiles
is not yet prepared for It's use. 1t
is good deal like giving children
a loaded pistol to play with.
The average driver steps on the gas
the moment the highway is entered
as if invited to do so by its width
and smoothness. Strangers from
other states, where a like speed
way is lacking, enter upon the in
diligence with the exuberance of
lunatics.'

POLLCTTNG THE SOUND

1t is no news that Long Island
Sound is being polluted from the
sewage being poured into It by
cities The most significant news is
that nothing is being done about it.
Warnings have been given for sew
eral years, and the warning this
year has been more vehement than
its forerunners. No warning will
amount to much until the health
authorities begin closing the popular
beaches, which will come in a few
years.
When the people discover that
one OF their priceless heritages"
is gone they will wake up. Wheth-
er at that time it may be too late
is matter Of debate.
New York beaches are confront
ed with the same outlook. A list
of polluted beaches made public the
other day was an eye-opener. Bath
ing at some Of them is already quite
dangerous to health.
When the beaches are gone the
lakes will take boost as drawing
cards for the throngs. Some of
them are already among the most
popular resorts We have. and 10
people in central Connecticut make
up in accessibility what they lack
otherwise. There are many lakes in
Connecticut, however, which in
these days of autoing-to-the-s shore
are passed by as being beneath con-
tempt-except TO admire their beau
ty IN passing. and provided they are
not hidden by sign boards.

HONEST GAS

The last bill signed by Governor
Trumbull specified that the sale of
gasoline of poor quality is not allow
ed in Connecticut. That is to say,
only gas of the kind prescribed by
the federal specification board of the
United States can be sold in this
state for use as fuel for motor We
hicles, motor boats and airplane
engines.
This law is one of importance TO
the people. 1t was held up until the
last to permit all gasoline distribut-
ing agencies to meet the require
ments.
When we read, therefore, that gas
costs more in Connecticut-tax ex-
cluded-than gas does in Massachu-
sets or New York it is well to take
into account the specifications of
the Connecticut law. Gas of this
sort naturally costs more than the
kind which does not coincide with
this higher standard. The fact that
the gasoline people required time
to make changes indicates that
much OF the below standard gaso-
line was being sold before the law
went into effect.
This stringent law gives the mo-
tor vehicle commissioner or his
deputies power to demand a sample
of gasoline being sold at any time,
so as to enable tests to be made.
These tests are according to federal
standards.
All motorists have noticed, per-
haps. that the retail prices of gaso-
line are being prominently display
ed at all filling stations. Where that
isn't done the new law is being
broken. For the law provides that
all sellers of gas must display a sign
bearing figures 'at least five inches
high and four inches wide" stating
the price CT gasoline. The0brice. of
course, must include all taxes and
other charges
Heretofore much inferior gas had
been sold by some dealers. Those
days are past. Poor gas gives low
mileage and is a source Of injury
10 motors. 1t was entirely proper for
the state to PASS a more rigid gaso-
line law. 1t seems to be working
well.

Fewer Englishwomen
Are Going in for Law

. London, July %. (UP)-The de-
sire on the part OF English women
to follow the profession of law is
on the decrease as compared with
the number who became barristers
five years ago when admission was
first possible for feminine legalists.
The Trinity Term Bar examira-
ton report shows that this decline
in interest is due to the fact that
many Of the women lawyers have
not been able to make a remunera-
tive living from the profession. Only
a few women have taken high rank
with men as advocates before a
jury.
Three and four years ago there
We're often as many as fifteen wo-
men admitted on "call nights" while
now there are generally not more
than two or three.
