President’s Illness
News of the President'l sudden ill-
ness came as a distinct shock to all
who followed his tri through Alaska
and the Northwest. While it is the
boyhood ambition of thousands to be
President. most would turn away from
the enormous duties and responsibili-
ties of the task. if they could but real-
ize them concretely.
There is perhaps no other single
office in the world which requires so
tremendous an outley of energy end
strength as that of being president.
Bulletins from the President's
bedside have. been alternately alarm-
ing and comforting. It is the sincere
wish and fervent hope. we are sure.
of everyone in Norwalk that President
Harding soon recovers his full strength
and vigor.
The President. it it conceded. no
matter what one's political sympathies
may be. has brought to this high of-
fice at a. time of great stress and vs.-
ried pcrplexitics. when the world
seems to he tumbling halter-skelter
about one‘s ears. rare and calm
judgrdent. ,presence of mind and the
ability to bring together conflicting
factions.
The country can little spare its
chief Executive at this time. Norwalk
prayers are for his quick return
to health. May recovery be speedy
and complete.

Ustacles T Justice
It is a matter of common notice
that in this counttry the criminal has
nearly all the advantages on his side
in a court trial. provided he is able to
employ a good lawyer. Court pro-
cedure and tradition give him those
advantages.
All of them have had good reason
on their side. historically; but most
legal reformers nowadays are pointing
out. how conditions have changed so
that rights and guarantees originally
meant to insure justice now defeat
justice. .
Take the inky system. for instance.
The old English law required the un-
animous Verdict of 11 men for con~
\‘li‘illln in order to eyegunrd the con
)nuners against tyrany of the nobles.
In these days the reduircmcnt oper-
ntvs. every day. to set free some crim-
lnal whom 10 or it good and true
men out of I: believe to be guilty.
Thus a smell and stupid or perverse
minority defeats the will of a big ma-
Jority. and protects wrong-doing.
Likewise. because in the middle
or: s. as a relie.‘ m tyranny and
religious pcrsecutioi. was ruled that
a person accused could not be form-d
to submit to questioning by tho cou'rt.
WP still find prisoners immune from
nix-int: testimony. France and several
other enlightened countries have long
since. abolished this rule. They reck-
r‘h it. more common sense to open a
trial by putting the accused person on
the witness stand. with judge and jury
Tot-mini: the natural conclusions if no
will not tell an open. frank story.
The deepest mine in the world is St.
John dcl Rey gold mine. In Brazil. one
and one-fourth miles deep.
Fish deteriorate rapidly. and one
freshly caught soon becomes unfit to
eat it left in the sun.

m! cm LAW.
mew Laden Day).
’erheee eii dealers in firearms ere
not'eware‘of the feet that the sale
of weapons to aliens.- without oon-
forming to.the provisions of n act
peued by the last session of the legis-
ldttil’d constitutes an offense thdt ddl'i
be punished severely. The new law
became effectiVe on July 1st and the
first case brought under its provosions
was- reported from Hartford where
a dealer was fined 810 and costs be-
cause he violated It in d tranmtion
with an alien. The penalty was not
as severe as it might have been be-
cause it was considered fair warning
to those who might violate the law.
Regulation of the sale of deadly
weapons is a very wise idea. Aliens
who are armed are quite likely to kill
or injure those with whom they en-
gage in rows and the less opportunity
that is afforded them to relieve their
feelings in that way the better.
There are a. great many who are
not aliens who ought not to be el-
lowed to purohsse firearms. because
they are likely to cum serious trou-
bio on account of possession of such
weapons of offence.
This is s. free country up to e cer-
taln extent. but there is no eXcuse for
encouraging crime. even passively.
and regulation of the sale of revol-
vers. even if it only covers aliens. is
a step in the right direction. The
law should be rigidly enforced.
NEW HAVEN‘ROAD'S FUTURE.
(New Haven Journal-Courier).
it may be counted s. most encour-
aging fact that the future of the New
Haven Railroad company. stimulated
by the report of the Storrow commit-
tee. is becoming more and more the
concern of wide awake New England
men who are content to let the dead
bury its dead and fasten their minds
on what may be done to restore the
company to its former condition of
efficiency and financial strength.
One of the importent contributors
to the discussion is John \i’. Ailing
of this city who is in every way qual-
ified to enter and take part in the
debate.
Passing over his analysis of the
company's financial obligations. of
which he takes the optimistic view
under a commendable hypothesis. we
come to two paragraphs which lead
us directly to the background we wtsh
to emphasize.
"I am aware from the investment
banker‘s point of view it might be
difficult to place $24,000,000 among
investors but this question is not of
investment merely. Transportation is
the life of New England. “'e have
no coal. no iron ore, to speak of: no
timber to speak of. For at least. two
or three generations we have not pro-
duced enough foods. to maintain our
population. \\'hatevcr wealth has
been produced in the .three wealthy
States of Massachusetts. Rhode Is-
land and Connecticut has been by the
aid of the railroads ‘ ‘ ' The ship-
pers of New England want. in the
language of the committee, that New
England should wear its own breech-
es: and surely they would be willing
to contribute towards the mending of
these breeches ° ° ° “'e have grown
rich on the transportation furnished
by the New Haven company. Why
shuold we be held up throughout the
United States as lacking in the inde-
pendent spirit which has theretofore
characterised New England?"
PI'BLIC ()PleON “'le
(Waterbury Republican).
The conference called by Elbert ll.
Gary. chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, to inagurutc the. 8
hour day in the steel industry. marks
:1 great victory for public opinion.
This conference is the direct result of
the slowly increasing public demand
that the thousands of 12-hour toilers
in the steel mills be released from
their bondage. That demand. low at
first. swelled into such a chorus fol-
lowing the report on the 12-hour day
made by the churches of the, country
that even the President lent his voice
to it. It is not probable that the steel
corporatitin would ever have mo'ed
to eliminate the long day if it had
not been for the pressure of public
pinion.
Formcrs‘ Quiet Sunday (innc.'
(“'ateriown News.)
The country Sabbath used to be a day
of quiet. Farmer or villager sat on his
porch. resting from his six days of
labor. nodding occasionally to a ncis'n-
bor jogging by behind his easy-going
team of horses. lie read or dosed or
chatted with his family as the spirit
moved: hitched up his own horse and
took a drive if the wife suggested it.
Restful. ptncei'ul. wholesome Sunday:
how tht‘ mv mory comes back to thou-
sands new in middle. of life or beyond
who would give a fortune for some-
thing like it again.
Every improved road is now a Sun-
day speedway. Residents along its
course enjOy‘about as much quiet as
overtime workers in a boiler factory.
The, breakneck processiOn starts by the
time breakfast dishes are washed and
it ends long after bedtime. If farmer
or farmer's wife wants to crOss the
road to his fields on the other side he
must take as many precautions for
safety as his city cousin needs in cross-
ing the public square. -

Has Prescription
For Wedded Bliss
LONDON, July ale-Marriage is the
only insurance that delivers policies
against. loneliness." declares \‘V. L.
George. noted English author.
George has been establishing some-
thing of a reputation for himself as a
“love doctor," and has given a free
prescription for happiness despite
marriage. His advice to married folks
is this:
Don't open each other's letters—
you may not like the contents.
Don't bore each other—change your
conversation, change your interests; if
you must. change your hair.
If you absolutely must be frank. do
it in private.
Once a day. say to a women: “How
beautiful you are."
Once a. day. any to a. man: "How
strong you are"——or. if you can't say
that. say: "How clever you are." be-
cause everyone believes that.
If it seems hard to be married to
“him" remember that ho is married to
“yo":-
Find out on your honeymoon
whether swearing or crying is the
more effective. s
forgive your patner seventy times
man. After that. burn the account
book.
There is no guarantee with this
prescription; It is a' homeopathic dose.
and not a werrented-to-cure patent
medicine. ' ' ,
