But this is for the judge to and the result would be the as if tho lay liti- gant knew all about it. A jury, for questions of fact, of law. decide same instance, passes upon not upon questions The finding of a jury is finding based upon the facts only. The application of the law to those facts, or what facts may be presented to the jury is a question of law which the cour: decides. The thing ir which a man who iy not a is interested is that the proposed amendment will tend to stop the continuation of many cases, through appeals to higher courts. It would make a man less fearful, lest, in beginning what he considers a just suit, in which the amount involved is small, he may be “letting himself in" for a long litigation. For that reason the preposed amendment seems to be a wise one. Anything that will tend to hasten justice and » settlement of disputes, without at the same timo paving the for wise. Where a verdict is given on the facts a lawyer way too hasty decision, ia alone in the court where the witness- es appeared and testified, it i3 more apt to be fair on question of fact than the decision of another higher court which does not hear nor see the wit- nesses, but merely what they have said. reads THE CHIEF’'S NEW CAR. The Fire Commission has decidea to purchase a Marmon car, it i§ an- nounced, to replace the derelict now owned by the fire department ana operated by Fire Chief Noble. There is no doubt but that the chief needs a new car. Repair bills on the old one which has far outlived its useful- ness probably run very high. We have every reason to believe that the Mar- mon is a good car and would be com- paratively inexpensive to operate. But there are many others which would be just as adequate for the use of the chief. The possible speed of the Marmon could not be used in the city streets and we do not doubt but that its durability could be matched rs at the same price or and the acceptible car might have the advantage of being sold through New Britain dealers. It seems as if, with a wide field ot cars to pick from, a choice of some car which is handled by a New Brit- ain concernimight be made. Then the dealers, who contribute their share of the purchase price of the new car and its upkeep in taxes, would have a show of making a slight return on the money that they expend yearly by making a sale to the city. Local money is raised in New Britain, it should be spent here as far as possi- ble. The proposition is only fair. with other less, Giving every man all he asks is as unwise a policy “as to take all you yourself want. to speak slowly and if you speak wise- It is better even hesitatingly, ly, than to charm by smooth oratory which lacks accuracy.

Dear Sir: 1 didn’t like the editor- ial in your Thursday's issue entitled “The Sunday Bill.” It contained an unjust criticism of Governor Lake for his veto of the bill permitting the playing of professional baseball and football, etc., on Sunday. If our gov- ernor is doing anything to conserve our Sunday, he should be sustained and encourageéd. Surely we do not need football on the Sabbath. It is something more than exercise. ' It is a battle and no more necessary on the Sabbdth than a circus. While baseball isn't so violent a game it is not needed especially the professional kind. We can do without them on tha Sabbath. You said in your article that men and women who work hard all the week, and have not the means to in- dulge in expensive cars or week-end trips to New York in the winter, or some summer resort in the summer, want to have some amusmeent, etc. It so happened that the writer ‘had to motor, one Sunday morning to hear a special preacher in the home town, and took the state road. I wish I had counted the number of autos and trucks I met conveying people to the various shore resorts. Some may have been going to church, but the vast majority had a holiday expres- sion. They evidently were not wait- ing till they could afford “expensive cars” to take them where they want- ed to go. You spoke of some who were too tired in the week to attend evening concerts, and who have no chance to ‘attend them in the daytime. This is vour argument in favor of Sunday afternoon concerts. These people are not too tired to attend evening movies if we judge from the crowds who go, and at some of these places, there is very good music. - We have band concerts at the parks on Sunday afternoon, I believe, in the summer time which all may attend, and at the same time have the fresh air. Some of us have lost sight of the real meaning of recreation a re-cre- ating of body, mind and soul. The latter cannot be left out, unless to our peril, and Sunday is given us for this purpose. Please allow me to quota a few words from my Sunday school quarterly: “Some of us have gone pleasure mad. Some of us are so obsessed with pleasure seeking that we devote too much time to it, going without the proper amount of sleep, or worst of all, converting Sunday into a holiday on which we seek every form of diversion and recreation ex- cept the worship of God and rest for our jaded bodies. And so we come to see that excess even in the good and salutary things of life is harmful and that we need to apply wisdom and discretion in our ice of them.” prach CITIZEN.
