RISLEY. Lincoln S. Risley was one of New Britain’s best known men. While he was not a public man in the sense that he was connected with the oity government, his business brought him into such dlose contact with the au- thorities that he came to be regarded as a public character. He had served in the council some years ago, acquired much information concerning the business affairs of the city and,was one of its well informed men. He knew the electric lighting work thoroughly, was courteous to those who met him and among his intimate friends he wag a most pleas- ant companton, There are many who will keep him in kindly remembrance for a long time to come. TO TEACH POLITICS. | The republican state central com- mittee of Indiana proposes to open a school for the education of 3,000 pre- cinct men in the noble trade of pol- itics. The course will embrace or- ganization, how to tell a democrat from a republican and what to do when suddenly confronted with a pro- gressive. Only a small number of men in Indiana know politics as it is now played and in order to pre- vent the further éncroachment of the enemy the faithful are to be taught ‘Wwhat to do and how to do it. Indiana has some people very com- petent to assume chatge of this work. There is Vice-President Marshall, Senator Kern and ex-Senator Bever- idge. It is not an uncommon prac- tice to seek educators from another state and if the Hooslers should de- cide to seek outside help they might step across the border and enlist the ald of “Uncle Joe” Cannon or Mr. Lorimer, neither of whom is working at. present. These gentlemen are thoroughly posted on the weaknesses of the Indiana republicans. FAOTS AND FANCIES. The people who handle guns up in the vicinity of Kent should practice on a target. There is no use in shooting at a deer unless one can stop 4t, and carry it away where use can be made of the venison.—New Haven Register. Get out your swatters and swat Mr. Fly» Every fly killed now means a million or so less to fear a few weeks later. Also look about and clean the places where the flies seem to “hang out.”—Waterbury Republican. The Aeolian difficulty . is settled, the misunderstandifg that kept emi- ployer and employe apart for nine months has been adjusted and every- one in Meriden will rejoice that -this is so. Trade disturbances are bad things for all persons. They bring hardships and suffering to many who are concerned and they are greatly to be regretted.—Meriden Journal. The progressive woman who had the temerity to appear in a London street the other day in a trousers skirt had to flee to a nearby store and escape through the roof in order to evade the.mocking crowd. Yet the man dressmaker who designed that skirt says he has orders for 250 more of them. Some women:like ' to be chased by a crowd.—Waterbury American. St. Augustine’s hotel fire, in which five tourists’ houses were destroyed at a loss of more than $500,000, offers another solemn lesson in the matter of season hotels. The northern resorts are more often chastised for the rea- son that there are more of them and thei® locations are generally more re- ote from fire-fighting facilities. The imsy wooden hotel, sometimes a trap for its inmates as well as a tinder- box fire risk, seldom can give any promise of safety to its patrons—- Brockton Times. In actual operation, in its celerity and enterprise in the work of putting out fires, the New London fire depart- ment is probably without a superior among the volunteer departments of the country. ‘'The men take thelr work seriously, perform it with as much pride and courage as Af they were well paid for it, and they 'get re- sults. A badly fought fire is practi- cally unknown; it is a rare thing in- deed for a blaze to “get away” from the department; and so far as the pri- mary purpose of the organization is concerned it f:'fills its function in an entirely - satisfactory manner.—New Leondon Day. A few days ago a couple of wealthy divorcees came to Bridgeport from ew York and were secretly wedded. he fact of thefr marriage was kept quiet because someone in the town clerk’s office removed’ the stub of the marriage license blank and concealed it. The marriage was perfectly legal; the action of the town clerk’s office in concealing. the license was | perfectly reveals precisely that situation which the law of Connecticut was aimed against, and which is defeated through a little petty connivance on the part of some of the city's employes.— Bridgeport Telegram. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1914. WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. High School Boys in Shops. Real industrial training that pre- pares for real jobs is described in a | bulletin on the co-operative plan at | Fitchburg, Mass., issued by the United ' States bureau of education. Boys in | the Fitchburg high school, who attend alternate weeks in school and shop, are made to feel that their vocational training is serious business. Here are some of the directions given to each ‘“‘co-op” student when he starts as an apprentice: “Remember that the object of work is production. Your foreman meas- ures you by the gquantity and quaity of your work. Social position does | not enter. In the shop you are not a | high school boy, you are an appren- | tice. Wear clothes accordingly. If you get the mistaken idea that any work given you is beneath the dig- nity of a high school boy, just remem- ber you are an apprentice and get 100 per cent. busy. “ It is your business to get along smoothly with the workmen and foreman; and theirs to get along with you. “Do not expect any personal atten- tion from the superintendent. He will probably ignore you entirely, but he knows whether or not you are making good; and most cases, his idea of you depends upon your ability to please your foreman. Don’t be a kicker and don’t continually bother your fore- man for higher wages. “Nevér try to conceal defective work. Take your full measure of blame, and do not make the same mis- ‘take twice. “Watch, in a quiet way, what things are being done around you, and don’t be afraid to ask sensible questions. A good rule is to think over a question twice before asking. A reputation for ‘having ‘horse sense’ means that you are making good. “Foremen and workmen will take pleasure in showing you, if you show yourself genuinely appreciative of lit- tle attentions. If they tell ‘you some- thing yqu -already. know, don’t spoil their pleasure by telling them you al- | ready know it, but let it be impressed on'your mind all the deeper; for the conversation may lead to somethlng% which is entirely new to you. | “The fool act of one co-op hurts | every co-op. See that your actions in and out of the shop do not bring dis- credit op the co-op course.” Representatives of the United States Bureau of Education and others who have observed the work say that the spirit of these directions is car- ried out everywhere in the Fitchburg plan. Vocational training of the Fitchburg type is an opportunity for worthwhile work, not an easy way of dodging the grind of academic studies. Mr. Wilson Asks a Question. (Commerce and Finance.) A story is told of a gentleman who recently called upon the president. In answer to an inquiry as to conditions in his section he replied: “Mr. Presi- dent, if you want to know the truth, there is no business.” “That's not my question,” said Mr. Wilson, “I want to know whether your part of the country is becoming @ better place to live in?” We do not vouch for the truth of the story, but it emphasizes an undoubted change in. American ideals against which there are but few protestants. There is a growing belief that great for- tunes are a nuisance to those who have them-and menace to those who haven’t; that it would be much bet- ter for every one if such fortunes didn’t exist; that the ambition to be enormously rich is an unworthy one,, and that honorable purpose, intelli- gence and ambition can better em- ploy itself than in the pursuit of money, or at least more money than 1s required-for simple comfort. Anyone who travels this country | widely will agree that the degree in which this new philosophy of life is being accepted differs greatly in dif- | ferent localities. 1In the west and south it is . undoubtedly becoming more popular. In the east, where the great spenders of the nition have lo- | calized themselves, the power of | wealth and the glamor of extrava- | gance is still potent to affect the | imagination and arouse the envy oti the poor. Perhaps this is one rea- son why the complaint of hard times is loudest in New York. Pensions Failing Off. (Boston Herald.) For many vears the federal expen- ditures for pensions has been steadily growing, in spite of the deaths of the veterans of a war of half a century ago. Pessimistic observers had begun to doubt if that shrinkage would not always be offset by the increasing liberality with which the survivors were treated. But a turn of the tide has now come. This year’s pensions appropriation bill, standing at $169,- 150,000, Fepresents a decline of nearly $6,000,000 from that of last year. This is accounted for by the death of 57,459 veterans. But unless, public sentiment is watchful, and the president resolute in his control of the situation, new devices will be found for again swell- ing the total. This very recession may gerve as a stimulus to the inventors of new schemes. In particular, the claims of the Spanish war veterans are legal vet the .combination. rapidly coming to the front. The house has just passed a bill which pensions their widows and children, regardless of whether the widowhood or dependence be due to the military service of the husband or father. This bill would apply to the Spanish war veterans the same principle that was adopted in reference to civil war veterans by the act of 1890. Our oxisting law pensions Spanish war | veterans in cases . where dependency grows out of the disabilitles incurred in the service. That had been the ‘theory of the civil war pensions up to the Harrison administration. Comment is often made on the ex- treme liberality with which the .vic- MCMILLAN'S Important Sale Of Bureau Scarf, Shams and Center Pisces at 25¢ and 49¢ each, You cannot afford to overlook this Easter Weew Sale of Ready for Use Art Goods.

While this is true, it may be remembered that the south has paid a tremendous war in- demnity in its contribution of federal pensions for distribution among the people of the north. Civil war pen- sicners alone have received four bil- lion dollars, of which the south has wrobably contributed more than one- fourth, or at least that fraction more than has been returned to residents of that section.
