| for heavy reading and keen reflec-
ton: the person who knows all about
the idiosyncrasies of the Hollywood
clan of movie celebrities usually
spends little time on an evaluation
of weightier topics: the person who
is deeply concerned with sports and
athletics usually is no expert on
. governmental topics and cares not
sou thereof except perhaps to be a
blind follower Of party label. Other
popular diversions have pretty much
the same mental effect, and though
they may possess good points the
| larger part of the population allows
them TO become mental narcotics.
The FAULT also springs from the
political leaders, who no doubt pre-
fer to have things this way. One of
the most difficult OF achievements
nowadays is to bring an issue out in
the open; the object of the political
moguls is to becloud them, mix them
up, have everybody guessing and
causing a general apathy among the
electorate. If the public were allowed
to see an issue occasionally it would
be stimulated into exercising some
of its mental faculties 10 greater cf-

GOOD ADVICE TO WOMEN
AND MEN

State Senator Alice P. Merritt's
address at meeting OF the League
OF Women Voters in New Britain
contained sound advice for women;
indeed, so sound that men, too, can
profit from 1t. Being equal, more or
less, before the law and certainly
equals in front of the voting ma
chimes, political advice and instruc-
ton that is good for women is also
an aid to men.
Men have been "practicing poll
tics" " voting can be placed under
this term, vastly longer than women
yet one doubts whether the rank
and file of men voters is much fur
Their advanced in its knowledge OF
the subject than the comparatively
recently cnfranchised fair sex.
The subject can be put in another
way: Men have fallen into grooves
OF political thought, have become
victims to machine made political
thinking, have been contentcd to
take as little practical interest In
politics as their own affairs would
allow. Women, on the political scene
lust a few years, have indicated to
many competent observers that they
are made Of the same clay, have the
same political trailtics, and tend TO
slip into the same political grooves
as the men.
This was not the hope Of suffrage
leaders when the fight for suffrage
was taking place. Women were to be
the angels of political sunlight. the
cmissares Of reform; they would
cleanse and purify the political at
mosphcrc.
| We readily agree with the only
woman state senator in practically
| everything she has said. We agree.
even, that If the political machinery
is rotten the voters are at fault. How
10 get The voters aroused in this age
/ of lcthargy, however, Is another
| question. We have noted with con-
sidera bic disgust on frequent occa-
sions that the blessed voters simply
don't wake up.
Certainly if is much easier for the
majority of voters, male and female,
to be interested deeply in the movies,
radio motor cars and the countless
other modern Inventions we fre-
quently boast about. Mrs. Merritt
was somewhat conservative in esti-
mating the eject of these things on
the cerebral faculties. The more We
/ have OF them the less We think of
weichtIcr topics Tho man OF woman
