NOT WE'LL TAKEN (New Britain Herald)

It comes natural for majority lead CTS to be technical hair-splitters. Thus when Majority Leader Johnson of the late Roraback legislature tells Nutmeggers that the legislature gave the governor just what he had asked for in regard to old age pensions he sees fit to quote the governors mes- sage to the legislature to prove" his point.
 This was unfortunate for MT. Johnson. The governor asked for ''early action" after full and care- full consideration. The legislature lfn- der MT. Johnson's tutelage yielded nothing but inaction and "a com mittee to report two years hence.
 All of which may be nothing in particular to argue about. and we are surprised that MT. Johnson and even the governor have seen fit to resurrect the debate now that the legislature Is no more. The time for such debate was during the session.

or no rum,' said Professor Bake well. The rum is here. The official testimony is that each year we have more and more, better and better. cheaper and cheaper. The only ques- ton is whether we are to have it regulated or have it without regula- tion."
 He predicted that the intelligent drys would, when the full import of their mistake had come home to them, take the leaderhsip in move to repeal the 18th amendment and leave the whole matter in the hands of congess in such a way that the law and public opinion may go hand in hand henceforth and not be in conflict.
 We should like to share his optim- ism as to the drys, but we agree with him that he only alternative is complete notification, in which direction we are headed at present.

A ONE-DAY LAW
(Bridgeport Telegram.)

That law is not, which hath not the support of the public"
 This wise saying by Thomas Hooker, founder of the state of Con- necticut was quoted by Professor Charles M. Bakewell of Yale in an address before the Rotary club of Bridgeport in which he clearly show ed that either repeal or nullification is the ultimate fate of every statute which fails to receive the virtually unanimous support of the people the only allowable exceptions being the idiots, feeble minded, or those of decidedly anti-social nature.
 "A majority in this country never did have, never should have, never will have the power to impose its will on a reluctant minority" said Professor Bakewell, who sketched the rise of constitutional government and analysed the various ways in which the founders of the United States sought to safeguard the lib- critics of the citizens.
 , Majorities must be given the power to enact statutes, but such statutes thereafter go upon trial be- fore the public. On the basis of ex- perience they are amended, im- proved. modified. repealed. or nulli- fled. By this process of trial and error the laws are made truly repre- sentative of public opinion, without which they are ineffective and pow erless. The only alternative is and government by force. which is abhorrent to our American ideals.
 The great mistake of the pro- Professor Bakewell said. was to put their law into the con- stitution where one-third of the states with about six per cent of the population can keep 1t regardless 10 the desires of the majority. That law is no won trial but 1t cannot be changed, modified or repealed in ac. cordanee with experience.

NoRTHCLIFFE's ARRIVAL

On June Il, 1917. Lord Northcliffe. proprietor of the London Times, the London Daily Mail and other pub lications, arrived in New York to take up the duties of head of the British commission to the United States. which post had been rendered him by Premier Lloyd George.
 Northcliffe's assignment was to CO., ordinate the work of the various British organizations already en- gagged in the task of supplying Brit ish war and other needs. His ap- pointment was not diplomatic po- sition.
 Each of the allied governments had numerous commissions engaged in various duties of assembling and procuring supplies in this country. The head of the French commission was Andre Tardieu. Baron Mon- cheur, former Belgian minister to the United States, arrived in New York with the Belgian commission June 16. A commission of Russians, con sisting of 40 members, arrived in Seattle three days previously.

THE PROBLEM OF THE ALIEN
(Hartford Courant)

How completely the migratory tide has reversed itself is apparent in the announcement of the commissioner general of immigration that some two thousand more aliens left the United States in April than entered it. As a result of the strict application of the rule forbidding the issuance of a visa to an alien likely to become a public charge, the number of inn migrants numbered approximately $500. Of the emigrants, some were deported against their will, but the great majority left voluntarily. Not all will remain out of the country. Not a few of the Mexicans are like-' ly to return, but in all probability the diminution of the number of aliens in the United States will con- tinue
 The situation now existing points several morals. In the first place, the exodus of aliens from the United States demonstrates the lack of need for more stringent laws governing immigration. The past year has amply proven that the existing laws can be so applied as to reduce the number of immigrants almost at will, with the result that further legisla- ton Is unnecessary. Secondly, the need for constitutional amend ment to exclude aliens from the basis for representation in congress mani- festly does not exist. Of the aliens who have entered the country and who have remained. virtually all. probably, will become citizens in due time. The prospect is that immigra- ton on large scale into the Uni ted States will not occur again, for many years, if ever. During the years just ahead, the number of aliens in the nation may reasonabIy be expected to decline, not only be. cause of lack of immigration but be- cause of the naturalization of those already here. In such circumstances. the menace of the-alien, as some like to regard it. is mere fiction.
 If present conditions persist, the problem of tho alien scene likely to solve itself in the near future.

So serious has became the spread of ring worm or athletes foot as t is more com monty called in this country, that the Ameri- can Medical Association has recognized 1t as a distinct menace demanding serious study to eliminate it. Ringworm has gradually spread around the world until it can be found in every country now. In reality there are no worms in the disease. It is fungous growth. mould that forms under the skin.

Unless differences between the Vatican State and Italy end soon Pope Plus XI has intrated
 in dispatches to Premier Mussolni that the seat of papal authority may be removed from Rome to Posen which is in Poland Such a state of affairs might well cause the premier to pause a moment n his career. Should Italy and the Vatican be separated there is no telling what might happen. There is preee- dent for the removal of the papal city from Rome. In the l4th century it was established at Avignon.

Posen is old in church history and might make an ideal spot for the papacy However, such step. drastic as it would be, would hardly be taken without great consideration of all circumstances. If forced upon the Pope undoubtedly he would recommend the move.
