Washington.-J. P. Morgan, who is commonly regarded as the chief power behind the American scene and who doesn't pay any income tax, was jolly. gruff old Papa Bear" out of fairy tale book.
 Pulled from his cave by the sen- ate banking committee and exposed to public view for nearly the first time, this almost legendary figure of international finance appeared not as a sinister ogre but as a big. bulky, merry old gentleman who didn't know that his famous firm had shown loss of $21,000,000 al- most overnight.
 His 19 partners call him "Jack" except for the younger ones.
 The tradition that Morgan was a shy, retiring fellow who would shiver and cringe in the limelight was blown higher than 8 kite as he grinned, chuckled and some times joked with the committee members and the numerous Mor- gan partners who flanked him. You'd have thought. he. wished the senate had one of these Morgan in- vestigations every week. Traders Eyes"
 He towers when he stands and must weigh nearly 250 pounds. His eyebrows are black and bushy, con- trasting with light gray slightly walrushish mustache and the hair which surrounds a huge bald pate on his massive head. His nose is a splendid specimen of physical de- velopment.
 He has wide, squinting eyes with small pupils. If it weren't for those eyes he could don a white apron and play admirably the part of a German butcher or bartender.
 Traders eyes," whispered a celebrated Jewish lawyer. He looks like one of our felolws."
 No frock coat for Morgan. He wore a blue business suit with widely spaced pencil stripes, nose glasses on a cord for reading, a rope watch chain across his vest, a stiff and pointed collar. a dark blue necktie and a small pearl stickpin.
 Become Friendly
 At the beginning his face was quizzical and his manner one of vague, unexcited amusement. But he warmed up and eventually be- came chummy with everyone near by, including senators. The slight est pretext caused his great face to fold up into huge wrinkles of

, To-day's Selected Poem,
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
{. Dorothy Ellen Lebleu in the New Hay
 AH Tournall

Dorothy Ellen Iebleu in the New Haven
 JournaD
 Did his young eyes once view the verdured
 hills,
 Half misty with the magic of the spring And did he pause in some New England lane At eventide-to hear the thrushes sing? Then homeward wend his way across the fields Where COW bells tinkled on distant hill- And purple shadows fingered in the dales. And violets grew beside the rippling Till? When far across the vales-sweet evening bells Pealed out their muted strains upon the air In some white church across the village green Did his young voice join in the singing there? And then-in answer to his country's call,
 With courage high he marched away to war. And was it in some fair New England town He kissed his mother by their cottage door :? Oh soldier dead! Known only unto God!" Somewhere there wait the ones who loved you best.
 Who bravely keep the glowing fires of home! It may be north or south-the east or west! The guns of war are stDl-sleep soldier brave-- Who early feI--ere manhood vas begun 1t well may be New England claims the right To cherish and to proudly call ycu-Son!

If fany thought to all the moral issues that have been raised con- cerning the saloon,-the architets. During the years of prohibition. the old saloons remained intact against the onsloughts of time. By the hundreds, they gave way to progress in variety of forms, and even their sites have become al- most forgotten. Consequently, with the return of Der. the necessity arose for creating new places in which Philsner and Muenchner might be. consumed, and the ser vices of architects were required. They dreamed, the planned, they built, and what the wraught bears no resemblance in the least to what once was called a saloon. Consider the design that won first prize in recent architectural contest in New York. Does it have swinging doors? An, no, 'afuted brown awning" stretches along the side of the place. Daes 1t have bar? Indeed not. "Rows of tulips sur-
 round the individual tables. which
 are of the spider-leg type" and every table, save the mark. has "a dainty white dolly in the center"
 Another design that won a prize follows the mored;l styue. with
 chairs and tables of painted metal
 while still another is decorated with
 delicate paintings in pastel shadeA Nowhere, apparently, has the sol.
 i'd mahogany bar with it's brass ra1
 found favor. Nowhere, apparently
 is the mammoth cuspidor consude
 cred de digeur. The vast frosted
 mirror, the saw-dust floor, the rec
 cumbent ladies on the wall-- all
 find no place, apparently, in the
 moredn establishments where beer
 is served. The old saloon is gone
 indeed, and the tea-room, one
 might think, has extended its in-
 fi.uence more widely than ever.

Bear Mountain has just been climbed by autos for the first time in the history of mankind. We presume in the gradual evolution of time almost every known ani- nal of this continent has at some time or other ascended the summit overlooking the Hudson. Now man adds to the long list by constructing modern highway which permits easy access to all points. The route is probably on par, so far as scenic qualities are concerned. with its neighbor- ing Storm King Mountain road. According to the publicity issued with the announce ment that the road is open. the tower of the Empire State building in New York city not to mention several other skyscrapers can be seen from one part of the drive-Timp Pass. Incidentally the route lies through state park. We presume it will attract many motorist this summer.

"Qictakionn

Speaking of this dictatorship. business Simeon Srunsky. in the New York Times gives fair idea of what the situation would be in America today if the President actually possessed and exercised the detatorial pow CTS he is often credited with. He would rule. according to Strunsky. through a pri- vate army of couple of million blue shirts" The federal army and national guard would be made powerless. Congress would be on forced vacation, by preslden- tial decress, for an indefinite period The Republican and Socialist parties would be outlawed, and members who refused to be good would be rounded up in concentration camps. There would be strict press cen- sorship, with all editorials on government affairs written and distributed. for compul- sorry printing. by an official press bureau at. Washington.
 The current President, of course, like his predecessors, is ruling according to the Con- stitution, not depriving Congress of any of its constitutional powers. Principles are preserved. Only methods have been modi- fled somewhat. Thus laws have been en- acted in which Congress. instead of pre- seribing exactly what shall be done and how money shall be spent. lays down the general purposes and policies and leaves 1t to the administration to work out details and ap- ply them flcxibly as conditions require. Such authority. too. is granted for limited periods, and the new practices in due time come under congressional review.

POSTAL REFORM IN VIEW
 (New Britain Herald)

What is this news from Washing ton that the postal department will become ''self-sustaining business unit?"
 The date is the fiscal year 1884. The authority is the administra- tion's postal department itself. To achieve this object, it is announc- ed, there will be. no subsidies.
 The airplane Industry is already studying plans to operate without government assistance. Numerous Shipping companies also are begin ming to calculate how to make both ends meet without mail con- tracts--sometimes contracts with out much. mail.
 The deficit of the postal depart iment has gone to $2O5,0O0,000. A good deal of this is throwing mon- ey down a sewer for all the prac- tical benefit 1t brings the public.

Naugatuck's borough court seems to be causing as much trouble in legislative circles as Waterbury's. We have our judges for two years but the prosecutor muddle is still to be settled. Naugatuek has one judge, the present incumbent. but deputy and the remaining court officials are yet to be named. It is particularly unfortunate that our minor courts are made the footballs of politicians. There is no doubt but what we are postponing the inevitable. Let it be said to the credit of Governor Cross that twice he has endeavored to sepafate minor courts from politics only to be baked at each effort. We democrats were willin'.

There can be no fault found with the men Governor Cross has named to the milk control board Charles G. Morris, Will liam E. Templeton and Victor Rapport are we'll known and respected not merely in their own communities but throughout the entire state, as the trio is not making 1t first public appearance. Their work is cut out for them, though. No one will envy them their duties. They have hard row to row. Here's success.

THE OLD SALOON HAS GONE
fHartford CourantJ

The return of beer has not wit messed the return of the old saloon, and 1t probably will not come. Con- trary to general relief, the demise of the old saloon was not at the hands of the commissioners wha assumed the responsibility for de- ciding the conditions under which beet is to be sold. Still less was it the work of the prohibitionists, who have iAveighed against 1t for decades past. On the contrary, the final blow was struck by individ- uals who probably have given little

The deficit of the current year is estimated at $125,000,000.
 Throwing out a hint as to how the deficit will be entirely elimin- ated, J. c. O'Mahoney, first assists ant postmaster general, indicated the following:
 Extended furloughs for em-
 ployes, reductions in trans
 portation costs and vehicle
 allowance for rural carriers,
 drastic curtailments of air and
 ocean mail, and pay-as-you-go
 expenditures; no more money
 will be expended than is taken
 in.
 Which looks like business, es- pecially the latter. During the Hoover administration there was fine talk about putting the postal department on a business basis; but a few days before the end of the last Hoover congress heavy additional mail contracts were put through, perhaps so as to worry the incoming democratic ad- ministration. These have been .

and hence entitled to license all mcrshsnts of New England towns. As he served the drink at his estates it is fair to assume he passed it along to his charges in the new world. At any rate he gave us drink that still endures in some sections but which undoubtedly is the father of many modern day mixtures.

CHICAGO, February 4.-Fifteen years
ago tonight the troop ship Tuscania
with 5000 American doughboys aboard
sank in the irish Sea from . torpedo
fred by . German submarine.
Two hundred veterans among those
who survived that disaster and went
on to survive the battlefields of France
met tonight and talked it over. To-
morrow they will drop a wreath on
Lake Michigan in memory of the 255
who drowned.
1T was an experience that seems un-
real to all Of u.s. said Stanley e. Hult
of Rockford, founder member Of the
Tuscania Survivors Association.
I'VE heard the explosion; the ship
shuddered, and then stood still. Then
the rush for the hfeboats was on"
Like many of his comrades, Hult was
picked up from nfeboat by the Grass
hopper, British vessel. and landed in
England. A few weeks later they were
marching toward the front-line
trenches

Joerns Of Chicago, president Of the
Survivors Association. They even in

and memorial services. He was un-

Another visitor was a woman who has
a child in "the question age" She
wanted books on "how to keep up with

Many people turn to teaching when
other things fail, and within the past
year We have had any number of men
and women who have been deperately
anxious to learn the newer methods and
techniques in the hope that they can
qualify for certain positions for which
they feel that they have good back
grounds.

household arts, has public constituted
