Street Commissioner Towers had a gang of men working today cleaning the gutters on Main street. The committee on street encroach- ments has given permission to W. A. Kinne to erect a sign in front of his store on Church street as a permit was recently granted M. C. LeWitt to erect one on his Main street store. A. J. Sloper has been named as a possible candidate for the council. The annual banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick was held Wednesday in the East Main street armory. A numerously signed petition has been presented to prevent liquor from being sold at a place on 58 Rhodes street.

Announcement by a prominent woman of the west.end, Mrs. Arthur G. Kimball, that she will be a candi- date for the Board of Education the next election, should be hailed with rejoicing by those who wish to see politics elevated. The enthusiasm for office of the gentler sex should at | be the leaven for which the calloused | hearts of mankind have been praying. Mrs. Kimball is one of the recog- nized social leaders of the city. She is just the type of woman we need in politics, the type voters of both sexes will look up to. It is possible that enough men will allow their prejudice against women to -sway their judgment so that she may not be elected but she should not allow this_ possibility to cause her any worry. With the big complimentary vote the third ward should roll up for her, and the support she will re- . who are qualified tary, ceive from men and women in-other ; sections of the city, Mrs. Kimbal should count her chances of victory bright. : There is no more appropriate post in the city government for a woman than the Board of Education. Male opinion has always dominated it al- though advancement in education has ; vention? not been retarded because of this fact. ! But the addition of a woman~to the board would, no doubt, strengthen it in some respects, especially '@ woman such as Mrs. Kimball is known to be. 2 . An impressive dinal Gibbons is published in the current issue of the' “American Mag- azine.” In the course of the inter- view the Cardinal dwellsion the tre- mendous progress made 4n education. He said, in part: “In-a hundred years the world has been transformed from illiteracy to literacy. Remember, that reading and writing were the éxclusive adorn- ments of the well-to-do only-a hun- dred years ago. It was ndot common for working meg to be able to do more than make their marks in the early years of the nipeteenth cen- tury. Today every boy and girl in civilized nations who cares at all for interview with Car- | the opportunity may learn; the store- | houses of the world’s thoughts, as preserved in books, have been opened to rich and poor alike. “A perfectly tremendous achieve- ment, that is. We are sp accustomed to its results that . we forget how tre- mendous it is—how slender a frac- tion of the men of the world could read or write intelligently even a century ago. And mow illiteracy is banished, just as slavery has been.” These statements by the eminent prince of the Catholic church have peculiar significance for New Brite ain, at this time. We have in city eertain individuals who scoff at education and who lose no opportun- ity to make an assault on our school system and the expense it incurs. If these people had their way, the work- ing man would probably find himselt in the same situation as his brothér of a century ago—Iliving in darkness, unable to communicate, by writing, with his relatives and friends and unable to enjoy the advantages of reading. New Britalsw has a right te be proud of what its schools have ac- complished. A person of education always has something that a person without education regrets he did not or could not obtain. Let New Brit- ain continue its work, even though the expense be heavy. * e . . Reports from the citadel of our liberties at Hartford have it that the judiciary committee has decided to | report favorably a bill which would permit judges of superior (criminal court) to grant divorces forthwith to wives or husbands whose spouses have been convicted of of- fenses against chastity. Here is an opportunity for some level-headed, sane legislator to put his foot down on a measure out of which mischief is certain to come. America is fast becoming a country where divorces can be secured as easily as one would order a cup of coffee for breakfast. Instead of lefting down the bars further, efforts should be made to remedy the divorce evil and more stringent laws are needed to put a stop to the practice.

INDIANA' FARMER 4 BOY CONFES? (Continued from First Page.) 3 conclusion ot the draft of the plan and disbars from participation in the convention city officiala who receive salaries or members of boards who are remunerated. This is an injustice to many excellent city officials; furth- crmore, it is a grave injustice to the city. "here are in New Britain, as in all other cities, commissions whose la- bors are o! importance,. although these commissions share little of the limelight. On these boards are men through special’ knowledge to discharge their duties and who receive only a nominal sal- the figure being out of propor- tion to the importance of their work. Many of these men serve through a sense of public duty and some find it an actual hardship to neglect their own private interests to give their time to the city. Are these men to be disbarred from holding office as ward delegates to the tax rate con- Are their voices to be stilled just because they happen . to draw an annual pittance from the city treasury? It does not seem fairsthat we are to be prevented from enjoying the fruits of their experience and the pvisdom which springs from that exs perience. Beforé putting theif final O. K. on the convention plan, New Britain’s representatives in the Gen- eral Assembly should investigate this question thoroughly. ..o In days of old when nighthawis were bold and wine clerks held their sway, this was the season of the' year when bock beer was in demand. In that dark age (sic) the front win- dows of nearly every saloon were decorated with pictures of goats. Now the saloonkeepers’ goats have disap- peared and it is rumored that the goats of the prohibitienists are run- ning wild. It would be interesting to learn the origin of the bock beer season ‘and why it was so popular. Leaping mentally back to that distant day, the writer cannot recall that bock had any particular distinction. In fact, bock had rather a bitter taste and left enough souvenirs to last- until at least l $30,000 payable to Fred Decker, brother, in event of the death by cident ot Virgil Decker. v In his confession Decker about 10 a. m. on March 12 las and Lovett arrived at the cottagy shortly lay down to sleép.
