THIS is the twentieth conference held since
l. the war in an effort to save civilization from
one or more of its various follies.
The emotions which dominate it are common,
but the aims conflict That paradoxical condi-
ton prevails in all phases of life.
Two men love the same woman, or two women
the same man, and there you have the making
of tragedy.
AL the sixty-siX governments represented at
London want peace, but not without some par
ticuar advantage.
At the opening session, King George called
upon the nations to bury their hatreds-good
advice, but poor statement of the problem. If
the world had nothing but hatred to overcome,
the peace problem would be simple. What botherS
and handicapS the world is it's traditional affec-
tons.
Take the love of money, for instance, the love
OF national prestige the love of security through
alliances, or the love of expansion whether in
territory or trade, and there you have the chief
source of trouble.
The world virtually has tripped this confer
ence by trying to safeguard satisfy these loves
beforehand.
a CADEMICALLY, statesmen are agreed that
L existing tariff barriers ought to be lowered
but England has bound herself by a lot of special
agreements, not only with units of the empire
but with several other nations.
/ Even our own government, which is loud in
demands for a downward tariff revision, has
compromised itself to a certain extent through
the industrial recovery BILL which is dedicated to
price boosting at home and which, for that very
reason, may make higher tariffs necessary to
protect home industries against the dumping of
cheap foreign goods.
War debts are barred yet, as Premier Mac
Donald pointed out, the possibility of stabiizing
world conditions rests largely on a war debt set
Element that will stand.
While general peace and prosperity are the
| accepted detectives, each delegation visualzes
them dependent on some particular concession
or guarantee.
The Germans want the Versailles treaty re-
vised the French want everybody to get back on
the gold standard, the English want more infa-
ton, and all of them want the United States to
write down, or write of. their war debts
T IKE that Of every other, the fate of this con-
l. ference will be determined by button holing,
horse-trading and log-rolling back stage
Publicly, the leaders will talk about co-opera-
ton and other angelic methods with which no
one can quarrel Only when they sit down to-
gether behind closed doors and in comparatively
small groups will they talk turkey.
They don't hate one another they merely are
working to get what the folks back home want
and expect.
Each and every representative is thinking of
how his phrases and propositions will be taken,
not by the world at large. but by the government
or the party TO which he must report.
To sum it all up this conference is being
guided by the background Of local politics and
SPECIAL interests, because local politics and special
interests still dominate public opinion throughout
the world.

FRIDAY. JUNE IS. 1888.
THE RAILROAD CO-ORDINAToR

THE PRESIDENT, according to reports, has
requested Joseph Eastman, whom he in
tends to appoint railroad co-ordinator, to take
q hand in the forthcoming railway wage con-
ference at Chicago.
The job Mr.. Eastman will assume can not be
divorced from the wage question, nor can the
government at this stage shun the wage con-
ference whatever may be the language of the
railroad coordination act.
The attempt of railroad arrangements to
reduce wages 22i5 per cent below the basic
scale or 1917 per cent below the present reduc-
ton, is on it's face a dehationary move, in
direct opposition to the wishes of the Roose-
welt administration which is straining every
muscle to bring about employment, cut hours
of labor and increase wages.
The railroads, which just have been given
special treatment by the government, which
are permitted to get from under the antitrust
laws, which are provided with new federal
credit to bring their long deferred mainte-
nance up to date are asking labor to give up
another quarter billion dollars so capital may
profit just that much
Apparently, President Roosevelt and his
administration will not stand for such gouging
of those who have invested their lives in the
railroad business. Wage cutting has no place
In the present economic scheme of things,
tuned to initiation.
The Presidents expected appointment of
Mr.. Eastman is particularly fortunate, for his
knowledge of railroad problems hardly is sur
passed. his courage and fine intelligence in
protecting the public interest over a long
period of years as an interstate commerce COM
missioner has raised railroad regulation to
new level
But Mr. Eastman, as co-ordinator will have
an extremely difficult job 1t is easy enough
to talk about the co-ordinator eliminating
wasteful practices and services among the car
riers. To accomplish them is very different
thing
And they can not be accomplished unless
railway arrangements cooperate with the CO.
ordinator and the government. Their duty in
this new effort to put the steam transportation
system on its own wheels is as great as the CO.
ordinator's.

Exposure to Sun Should Be Gradual

WHEN the heat of summer
w spreads over the nation, ply
sicianS and the hospitals begin at
once to receive their quota of per-
sons who have been harmed by
contract with the hazards of life
associated with summer conditions.
Many times it has been empha-
sized in these columns that sun
light is beneficial 1t aids the growth
of the bones, tends to destroy bac-
terra, and has certain invigorating
qualities.
Sun baths are healthful because
they are associated with life out
doors. They bring about a certain
amount of rest in the open air.
However, there are hazards associ-
ated with sun baths which should
be borne in mind.
Exposure to the sun should be
gradual. It is well to begin with
not more than five minutes the first
day and to increase this to the point
where tanning takes place, rather
than to attempt by two or three
hours in the sun on the beach, or
elsewhere, to blister the skin on the
first exposure.
The amount of daily exposure to
direct sunlight may be increased

A Wonan's Viewpoint

A DENVER reader is disappointed
L n in me. Il had thought of you,"
she writes, '..as real woman, one we
could point to with respect, leader
toward the high ideals that we can
not but associate with true woman
hood. Yet you champion swear
ing"
My efforts in behalf Of the down.
trodden navy boys have, it appears,
caused disillusion.
Yet the evident sincerity of this
reproof makes me wonder about
certain queer traditions. Why, for
instance. should true womanhood, ."
whatever that is, invariably be asso-
ciated in our minds, with forbid
den customs.
Smoking. chewing, swearing,
drinking, living with gusto, in fine,
always are connected in our thoughts
with men. Our lot is the stilted and
Ily-white purjties.

win easily. I know as we'll as I
can know without seeing them draw
the money that in that department
there has been nothing less than
robbery. as I have been told by an
ex-soldier who never had been out
of the country, with no disabilities,
that he was notified that if he sent
in his discharge papers he would
receive 500 a month. He did not
Go it, but his brother did, and got
or gets the 500 month. I am told
of lots of such cases and 1 know
of many.
Look at the Spanish American
warriors with only a skirmish at
Santiago In the Philippines, they
had more and there are three in
this little town and it seems as
though they are all drawing pen
siOns. 1t was a matter of prefer
ence as to which state got in the
most for its quota and because times
are hard it seems as though they
all want easy money and find out
about their pull.
The Hoover regime was for CIV
ing pensions to all to get votes. 1
had a ~brother-in-law in three
months, then nine months, then
three years or end of the war and
they were kept in overtime. The
regiment mutinied and he got no
pension until one time that he
nearly died in 1916 and he got $18
a month and his army pay was $13
a month, and gold was $3.50, so he
got less than $3.50 per month. He
was in Logan's command, a captain,
well acquainted with Logan.
Our President wants to balance
the budget and hope that the con-
gressmen will have their names pub
lished if they are making a holdout.
They are making the mistake of
their lives by SO doing.
There should be a pension COM
missioner who is a budget man and
they will get their deserts and we
will have show.
Then come the utilities and
freight rates, as they should be; with
them regulated, we could make a
living.

BY Fair Play.
It is amusing, if not nauseating,
to fair minded people to read the
hue and cry that Republicans are
making because Governor McNutt is
appointing members Of his own
party to places in his administra-
ton now occupied by Republicans.
The Republicans who are raising this
cry never raised squeak when Re-
publican Governors displaced Demo-
Gratis and supplied their places with
Republicans.
Imagine Jim Goodrich, Warren
McCray, Ed jackson, or Leslie leav-
ing Democrat in Office if he could
get to him.
And comes w. E. Henry, former
state librarian of Indiana, and q
former college mate of this writer,
protesting the removal of certain
persons in the state library and
supplying their places with persons,
Democrats, if you please, who will
work in co-oeration with his admin
iStration.
The writer has been acquainted
with the state library for gener-
alton and he does not recall that
Mr.. Henry or any of his successors
ever employed Democrat as assist
ant in the library, if they could
find a Republican.
Harmony and cooperation are
necessary to the success Of an ad-
miniStration and the writer hopes
Governor McNutt will remove every
vestige of Goodrichism, McCrayism,
JackSonism and Leslieism from his
administration. This is what Re-
publicans who voted for him expect
him to do.
The writer also hopes that Gov
ernor McNutt will go even one step
further, and remove any disloyal
and half baked Democrats, if any
there be left over from former Re-
publican administrations. This is

Public Policy Question

IRON now on the supreme court
Il ought to be moved far more
by the problem of public policy
than by any pedantry of literal in
depreciation Surely a five to four
decision should be a very feeble
barrier in the path of any deter
minded majority bent upon some
necessary economic change.
There remain in the halls of con-
gress a few diehards who would
have us live-or die. for that matter
by the letter of the original stipu-
lations. Senator Borah has been
eloquent on occasion in saying that
this or that may not be done be-
cause of Article or Section x.
But I think that the true lover
of the Constitution in the days
ahead of us will be the man who
favors the freest sort Of construc-
ton. If the Constitution is to live,
it must be bled and cupped for the
sake of modern man and his en-
vironment.

at all. And being a lady these DAYS
is not half enough. We must first
be human beings, then women, and
then ladies, if you will.
It often has been said that no
lady uses profanity. Yet we've all
known any number Of fine women
who did, upon occasion. We once
were told that no good woman ever
smoked cigaret. But thousands
upon thousands of them do so, and
all the Mortified protests of the
ultra perfect can not alter the fact
Overniceness probably has pre-
vented many of us from developing
into good women. We have empha-
sized manners ana overlooked
fundamental moralities.
In fussing with trivialities. we
lost the essential human touch"
And without it. no influence is
potent.

The Thirteen States

IF the vote for the repeal of pro-
Il hibition carries all the populous
states, but is blocked by the will of
thirteen sparsely settled ones, it
seems to me inevitable that the
Constitution will be badly bent. No
body can defend such a situation
as having any place in democratic
government.
And, more particularly, there will
be bitter resentment if a document
$50 years old happens to stand in
the way of any piece of legislation
which seems to. offer some hope of
relief to jobless and hungry men
and women.
The very fact that the Constitu-
ton under any strict construction
stands in the way of federal child
labor law certainly has not increased
national respect for the instrument.

NEW YORK. June 16.-Observers
L ' in Washington are wondering
whether President Roosevelt's eco
nomic program will pile up on the
rocks of the supreme court. But
think that the problem may be
stated with equal accuracy the other
way round. Can the supreme court
ride out the revolution of 1898?
Mr.. Dooley's famous observation
that the supreme court follows the
election returns" may have been a
wisecrack back in the gay '90s. but
if the supreme court is to survive in
its present form, it literally must
yield to this principle.
Back in the Bull Moose days,
Theodore Roosevelt shocked his
progressive followers when he sent
up a trial balloon advocating the
recall of judicial decisions" So
great was the CONSERVATION that the
colonel quickly hauled in his kite.

For twenty-five years it has been
the boast of Jim Watson that Re-
publieans are the only persons who
should hold the offices, because they
have had the training for the
offices. Let us now give the offices
to Democrats and let them get the
training of which Watson boasts.

SENATE TO PROBE RACKETS

TN adopting Senator Copeland's resolution
for an investigation of racketeering. the
United States senate has joined an impor-
tant national movement to which it can give
great help.
The senate investigating committee, with
the cooperation of the federal department
of justice, can bring together and study
the experience of the prosecuting authorities,
police, and courts in various cities, also in
quire into the interstate operation of rackets.
New York, Chicago and Detroit are to be
the first field of the investigation and the
present drive on racketeering in New York
City already has accumulated ample material
on which to start.
Another good result of the senate action
will be further to impress all other agencies,
federal and local, with the seriousness of the
racket problem and the urgent need of
tackling it,
We particularly hope the American Fed
Grafton of Labor thus may be impressed.
Racketeering has been getting a dangerous
grip on organized labor, even to the extent of
demoralizing and disrupting unions by deliv-
ering them into the hands Of racketeer Of
ficers

Jurors for the
 Superior Court
Judge Simpson Will Open Eleanor Saddler Case
 Tuesday

Attorney George H. Freeman, clerk of the superior court here was in New Haven today drawing a list of jurors who will report at the superior court room at Water bury next Tuesday morning for the second degree murder trial of Flea. nor Saddler, local negress.
 Judge Earnest A. Simpson will come to Waterbury from Litchfield to try the case. The jury that is to hear the case with Judge Simp- son will be boiled by counsel. Att torney w. W. Gager, public defen- der who is representing Miss Sad dler will have 15 challenges and the same number of challenges will be given the state which will be represented by States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis and Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald.
 Miss Saddler, has the distinction of being the only person in the history of the local superior court to have two grand juries sit on her case. The first grand jury's find- ing was dismissed when it was dis covered that one of its members was illegally sitting with the panel. It was Attorney John H. Cassidy. who is an elector of Litchfield county, when the statutes say that grand jury members sitting on T local case must be electors of New Haven county. Both grand juries however, returned indictments in second degree murder.
