club to the limit in Saturday nights game. This feeling stands despite the fact that the Atlas has defeated New Britain in three out of the four meeting this season. Only last Fri day night New Britain fell before a second half attack Of the New Haven club in New Haven but it was through the poor showing of the New Britain team from the foul line that New Haven won the game. The score was 2S to o5.
 Last week, the Atlas five added Eothcnficld former Columbia cap- tain and star Of the Waterbury state league team, 10 its roster and Fothonfield's work in last week 8 game was one of the features Of New }laven's victory. Saturday night New Britain will also he strength hen- cd by the addition of a college star whose name has not yet been di- vulgcd.
 Two officials will be used in tho game. one of them being Red" Ball, coach of the Mass. Ageics and recognized as one of the leading bas- kothall officials in the east. Whether or not the other will be Dick Dillon has not yet been decided. Manager Clarence J,anpher is expected 10 make an announcement on this score today or tomorrow.

Inequalities of Government

Thirty-five new states have been added TO the Union
since the government Of the United States was orig
inally formed. and the disparity in population and
economic strength is even more striking than at that
time. II was commended then that within a few yeras
the gradual development of the areas west of the Ale
ghanies would result in the elimination Of the dual
system. but this system has ~withstood the test OF time
and nothing short of a revolution could now uproot IT,
A recent review Of state census reports show that
We have five states with n population Of more than
36,O0o,O 900, which have ten senators, and five other
states with a population of about 100000 which also
have ten senators. According to the last general CEN
aus there were seventeen states, no one Of which had
more than one million population, and altogether had
. population Of less than 100000, but they had 81
senators, or more htan a third Of the entire member
ship Of that body.
New York, with its population Of 100000:
Pennsylvania with about 100000. and Illinois with
about 100000, have no more representation in the
highest law making body Of the land than does Nevada
with q population Of $4,000 and Delaware and Wyoming
which have about 100000 each. Yet, despite this great
disparity, the dual system as become SO closely linked
with American ideas and ideals. that very rarely is q
protest made. This principle Of duality, firmly fixed
in the constitution, is reinforced by the dominant
sentiment Of communities to which statehood is a
privilege, carrying with ii local political advantages
which would not be voluntarily surrendered. The new
states may have small populations, but they have vast
resources and great extent Of territory.
Charles Evans Hughes, in discussing this phase Of
American government, recently said: 1T is apparent
that nothing short Of a revolution could change this
system, and there is no prospect Of such an identity Of
interest on the part Of the states Of great population
as would arouse q violent a~gitatoin. The relative
power OF the states is maintained by the constitution,
which denies any right Of amendment which would de-
prive any state without its consent Of its equal suffrage
in the senate.
I'VE have in the Unitde States an unexampled OPP
portunity for maintaining local government with the
civic virtue which is aroused by local interests and 8
sense Of definite responsibility. IL would be a national
calamity if We should lose or waste this opportunity.
We need and fortunately possess adequate national
power, but il is the union Of national power and local
power that gives US the prosperity we desire to extend
and the liberty we wish to preserve

The World and All
LIVING STONES
BY Charles P. Driscoll

!. You can take a stone that has just come from tae
quarry and break il in two. Then it becomes two
stones, one just as important as the other, il they are
of equal size and quality. You can continue TO crack
that stone up until you make small PARTICLES Of it and
spread it on the roadway, and you will have done but
a simple thing. This stone was one stone; now it is
many little stones, and nobody cares.
But take a stone out Of the pavement Of the Appian
Way. History has marched over IL for twenty-five
hundred years. It has resounded to the tramp Of the
Roman legions. Warriors. emperors, despoilers ana
builders have trod upon it's surface. Monarehs and
slaves and soldiers have passed over it, and have gone
their way to their common home in the earth. Tears
and blood have fallen upon it from eyes and veins that
had turned to dust centuries before Columbus set
foot upon the Western world.
/ do not think you can break this stone in such a
way that you can make two stones Of it. ! believe that
this stnoe has acquired a personality. You can wound
il. You can smash il. But you will hvae the frar-
ments Of a broken stone; not a collection of stones
made by breaking up another stone.
A servant who has been in your family for a great
many years has acquired some rights beyond the mere
right to a prompt payment Of the agreed wage. No
people recognize this fact more readily and naturally
than the southern United States families in which col
ored servants have been long in service. There are
many such families whose colored servants are de-
%scendants Of slaves who served those same families.
Such servants have rights that the employers never
question. Discharge is unhesrd Of. And the servants
feel reciprocal obligations toward their employers in
such cases.
An %employe who has served a firm in whatever ca
pacity for years and years, and has given the best Of
his life to forwarding the interests Of his employer. has
a status entirely different from that of an ordinary
enploye who may be discharged or denoted or shifted
upon short notice. Most employers. large and small.
recognize this circumstance, and some of the larges.
corporations are most reasonable in dealing with old
employees who have served long and well.
Human association does something 10 things and
animals and persons. A church in which generations
have worshipped is not just a combination Of stones
and mortar and slate. It was that when il was new.
but now it has a personality Of its own, and ! think
it has rights Of its own. too. You cannot make q ware
house out Of it without doing violence to a venerable
personality, as though you should slap a patriarch in
the face.

A question often asked is: How
did dogs, originally wild, become 30
tame?
IN dogs themselves understood the
answer they might make q special
effort to show good dispositions when
young, for some kennel owners,
wedding cut their puppies, save only
those that show the most agreeable
traits. This was doubtless the prac-
tice when cave men first began 70
make pets Of litters Of wolf or jackal
puppies. They got rid Of the more
surly puppies and kept only those
that were fairly sweet-natured. When
the more even-tempered puppies
grew up and had offspring, there was
less and less chance, with each gen

dispositions. As this wedding a
continued. finally IL became unusual
for IN puppy not TO be reasonably
gentle and obedient.
While the early relations between
mankind and dogs must have grown
up in Of hunters bring
ing home m~otherless litters Of wild
puppies. there was probably contact
in another way. Our early ancestors
who lived In caves and rude shelters
were doubtless not any too fastidiouS
and devoted little time to tIdyirg up
their premises. When they had
picked the meat from a bone. they

This bill. which provides that all persons between
the ages Of 81 and so shall be drafted, without exemp-
tion on account OF industrial occupation, IL enacted,
will be the greatest move for peace the United States
has ever made. 1t will be a signal to the world that il
war comes the United States is ready to put forth
every ounce OF it senergy to win.
There is bitter feeling among the comrades Of those
men who were killed in France against exemption. Il
is felt that some OF those graves ought to be occupied
by some who evaded the draft. IL this bill had been a
law since the time Of the Revolution thousands Of lives
and millions OF dollars could have been saved and this
last war might never have involved Us.
Under this bill, when the president shall Judge war
to be imminent he would be authorized to proclaim
material and industrial resources Of the country under
government control, and to take necessary steps to
stabilize the dollar. Thus the dollar could be kept az
par throughout the war and millions Of dollars saved.
There has been a protest against this bill from the
National Council for Prevention Of War, on the
grounds that IL does not provide that everyone should
serve for the same compensation. This would be i'm
