WOMEN SHOULD KNOW. Mayor Curtis is considering what women he will appoint to fill vacancies on boards now existing in the city gov- ernment. Immediately there arise questions of the most practical nature. ‘WALl it be left to the women selected to decide whether or not their other duties will permit of their acceptance; will the appointments be made regard- less of the question of whether or not they are married or single; whether or not their home duties and privileges would prevent their performing the du- ties of a commissioner? Presumably such will be the case. Theoretically at least, no person pos- sessing the appointive power, should be expected to look up the situation before appointing a woman to a post. Indell- cate, tactless Investigation would be the result. The matter must, therefore, be left to the women themselves to decide whether or not to accept. But women should be fully informed what the acceptance means; they should Know that meetings of boards are bomc. times held, often held, just before the hour of the evening meal. Often they are held in the evening. They are held winter and summer, rain or shine. It is practically impossible to tell of how long duration they will be. Women should know what they are promising to do when they accept these appoint. ments. & Now that they have the vote it is just that they have representation. Women have proven themselves com- petent advisers, Undoubtedly they will continue to do so, and will bring con~ sclentiousness to the places they will fill, An expression of opinion from one prominent in the politics of the party other than that te which the Mayor belongs, is that women might scarcely care to gccept appointments on boards such as the water, fire, public works boards, but that they would be of great assistance in the work of boards such as that of health, amusement and in other matters pertaining to public wel- fare. This Is a subtle compliment to ld real decision. Let us who will give us these be chosen Friday. FRATERNITIES. lof High School societies ain locally.

THE FISHING CURE. It is poesible that a cure has been found. An eager world awaits it. And a fifteen-year-old young woman is the discoverer. The “cure” to which ref. erence is made one for the tendency toward fredom of dress and action by girly and young women of today. It is only for argument’'s sake that the admission is made there may pos- siply exist such a tendency. If there does, then, and not unless it be admit- ted—tor argument's sake only—the “cure” is needed. A little poem written by a young poetesg and published in yesterday's news cojumns of The Herald, inspires the thought that the cure has been found. Fishing! Imagine the changed attitude to- ward life that would come to our younger, our attractive- girls, were they all to take up fishing as a fad. Imagine the alterations in dress, toilet and manner of speech that would come. Imagine the joy with which the speckled trout would bite, thns sacrificing their lives for the sake of those “‘beauties,” not speckled, but possibly freckled a dit. Imagine the beautiful pictures that would be seen along the banks of the sweet-shaded brooks of the state! ' And imagine how the men—the ardent fishermen who creep quietly along those brooks would enjoy having their fishing grounds entered by— But this was intended to be a pleas- ant picture! .

News today concerning ex-Presi- dent Wilson brings more interest than it inspired during his last days in the White House. George White, Chairman of the Democratic National committee, is reported to have said that in a re- cent call upon Mr. Wilson he found him happy and as keenly interested in public affairs as ever. He would not discuss Mr. Wilson's health. News of the ovation given Mr. Wil- | When men are tired and need a rest son the other evening when he sat in & rear seat, of easy access to the door, in a vaudeville house in Wash- ington, shows that he is not forgot- ten.

In the face of repeated declarations on the part of Republi- cans stating that the League of Na- tions is dead, he sees the ideal back of his conception of the league per- sisting in the minds of men, and gaining recognition among leaders whose words, on occasions, have been in direct conflict with their acts. * No general reference to the good feeling existing between the United States and Canada, as an example of the way neighboring states may live in pea without resort to a super power, may take from the sig- nificance of the atmosphere of “get- ting together” of nations which has been in evidence in many of the acts of the present administration. Former President Wilson, of course, would not be satisfled with anything other than the League as he had conceived it. He never was; he is not the man to change. His fliness intensifies, rather than dimin- ishes his stand in t regard.; But he must derive a in satistaction from the evidences shown so fain- ly of late, that his idea is gaining strength. He belleves, probably, that in time the plan he worked out and advocated will be the one adopted. Of this there is considerable doubt. There is little doubt, however, that the plan he helped put into words that have been so much criticized, will be the basis of the peace union that will come. “Bergdoll Will Fight For Seized Property,” headline.

J. Morti- mer Bell of Simbury, a voluntary watch dog of the state's treasury wished upon himself the laborous task of asking House Chairman ‘Bob’ Eaton of the committes on appropri- ation, the reason for each fattened item on the tally sheet. During the entire cross questioning Bell had been rolling the bank examiner's item as a sweet morsel under his tongue. When the right timg came Bell was on his teet, waving his digits in the atmosphere, and shot the question at Eaton. Bell was informed that the increase of the appropiation allowed for an increase in the office force, and examiners. Francis Deming of Berlin, an official in the Berlin Savings Bank, remark- ing on the increase of the appropi- ation, said that it was the best thing that ever happened to the state and it assured Connecticut safety in flnan- cial matters. He pointed out that the good work which the Massa- chussetts bank exeminers did in the Ponzi matter would long be remem- bered in flnancial circles. The public was pa-tial to Ponzi before the facts were krown and the exami- ners were far Zcom being popular for a time. The efficiacy of tha bank men was proven in time, and credit was heaped on the state for its officials, Connecticut now will have a creditable banking office, run as it should be, and now the men can be secured for a task which could not be undertaken with the money allowed under the old appro- priation. The shade of Ponzi must have been the bugaboo which quelled opposition among our legislators the majority of whom have as a key- nota “ECONOMY" s “ee Next Tuesday the New Britain lodge of Elk's is going to hold Flag Day exercises. Those who were fortunate enough to witness the ser- vices last year were loud in their praise of the lodge. The purpose is to keep alive the memory and to recall to mind the many traditions which are connected with Old Glory. The purpose is lofty and the lodge is to be congratulated on its spirit of patriotism, The Elks have a war record to be proud of, and may that policy always ‘continue to live and do good work among all. e Once again the Arch street and West Main street jitney lines are going to be the topic of discussion at a public hearing before the state public Utilities Commission. Mayor Orson F. Curtis, the champion of the local option idea, will find it hard not to mix up in the affair. He happen- ed to be in Hartford the other day, and “kind of dropped in” to the New Britain-Hartford Jitney hearing. He is in favor of well regulated jit- neys, so he says. but the Connec- ticut Company's lawyer® it have thought -othewise for Cu was called on at that time by the Attor- ney for the opposition to the Jitney in the locality under discussion It must be sald that .the Mayor clarified matters somewhat in his opening statement to the Public Public Utilities Commission, in which he said that he was not appearing for bor against the proposed line. If the Mayor carries out his ideas on local option as far as is possible, he will be accomplishing much for the city of New Britain and its people. . The Observer notes the following resolution clipped from the Hardware f Dealrs magazine adopted at. the Southern Hardware Jobbers' Associa- tion meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey. The resolution pays the final respects to the late Robert N. Peck, a former vice-president of the Stanley Works factory. The following resolutions in honor of the memory of Mr. Peck were pre- sented by Murray Sargent to a meet- ing of the Southern Hardware Job- bers’ Association in the recent con- vention at Atlantic City, Mr. Sargent said: “Mr. President and members of the two associations, I think it would be fitting that in the death of Robert N. Peck, the members of both associa- tions have lost a friend who can never be replaced, and it seems to us to be appropriate that some action be taken at this time, and I will read this reso- lution which we offer today: “The members of the Southern Hardware Jobbers' A.nocb:.tionc; the American Hardware = Manufactyrers Association and the Canadian Hard- ‘ware Manufacturers Association, represented by Messrs. Stark and Hardy, in joint session at Atlantic City learn with very deep regret of the untimely death of Robert N. Peck, vice-president and manager of sales of the Stanley Works. In view of the many years in which he was connect- ed intimately with the association, it is our desire that the deep sense of personal loss felt by all members of the two associations he registered at this time. Through the high qualities of his character and his "spléndid en- thusiasm and loyalty and very high standard of business ethics was set, the effect of which will be of per- manent value throughout the hard- ware trade. We, his friends, desire that a copy of this resolution be sent to his family and business asso- ciates.” e The boom to land Charles Temple- ton of Waterbury, the present lieuten- ant-governor, in the governor's chair should be of more than passing inter- est to the people of New Britain, in- asmuch as the leader of the senate is a hardware man. He is at the head of a large hardware business in Waterbury and he has a wide circle of friends in this city. A prominent local republican said that the present Governor Everett J. Lake, should he desire re-nomination would be offer- ed the place due to his record, al- though it is in its infancy. There is some talk of Everett J. Lake accepting the nomination for U. §S. senator should the vacancy occur. Booms are gong around ‘“catch as catch can” at the capitol these days. J. Henry Roraback is also being talk- ed of to go to Washington as a sen- ator. The Templeton boom for gover- nor, should the,vacancy oocur, is the one most often spoken of. Senators Bowers and Potter are reported to have heard the congressional bee buzzing around, and it is understood that neither one of the two would do the fading violet act should the nom- ination be offered them. see Now comes the news from uncertain origins that there is trouble about the R. O. T. C. of the New Britain High school. It is rumored that a few of the members of the unit will fail to graduate because they did not pass the course. It is a major subject, just like English or mathematics. It is the understanding of the Observer that the members of the unit were warned that the subject must be passed in or- der to get the necessary credits for graduation, but there seemed to be a few who would not take these warn- ings seriously and now they may have to pay the price.

C. take the course of training, three hours a week, seriously and they are better men for it. They have a healthy respect for the uniform and the flag which they are serving. They are the men of whom the city is proud, they have no complaint and the government sees fit to give equip- ment to them =0 as to encourage them. Out of fairness to these men such a service should have discipline, the major premise of a good soldier. To get down to facts—the R. O. T. C. has been criticised for lack of dis- cipline. How does an ex-service man who has been wounded, pr any other ex-service man for that matter, feel when he sees a joking company of men walk down the street behind the United States flag? Out of fairness to Lthose men who want to know how to be a good soldier, discipline should be enforced. If public opinion stands behind the captain and sergeants sent here by our government, the R. O. T. C. will be a power for good in the community. A well regulated and drilled body of men will show the for- cigners who come to New Britain that we are loyal, and loyalty begins with discipline in the ranks of a semi-official body of men who have on the uniform of our soldiers who have ‘“never let the old flag touch the ground.” LY The Observer happened to be talk- ing with an eminent *Observer of Hartford county affairs on the train the other night. The topic of conver- sation turned to law courts. The Hartford Observer, who has been to numerous court sessions Jn Hartford, expressed surprise that New Britain had not started a boom for a district court to take in New Britain and sur- rounding towns. The majority of cases in the court of common pleas in Hartford are out of town cases, and the majority of out of town cases are from New Britain, the Observer added. There is a district court in Waterbury, and, as New Britain is a big city now, there is no reason why a district court could not be created here for the ac- commodation of New Britain, Plain- ville, Berlin, Farmington, Southington and way stations. The return will be directly to those involved in lawsuits who have to pay for a lawyer’s time when he goes to Hartford. The Com- mon Council, Rotary club, Chamber of Commerce and other civic organiza- tiong can, if they wish, go on record as favoring the proposition. The legal fraternity in this city should get be- hind the movement, when it starts, for their own, as well as their clients’ ac- commodation. ow that the legislature has ad- journed, it is only proper that the work of the New Britain delegation should be reviewed. Starting off with Edward H. Hall, senator from the sixth district, it can be said that he has a record second to none in the senate. He was chairman == the ap- propriations committee during one of the most stormy sessions of recent vears. His work in curing the pas- sage of the $750,000 appropriation for the Normal school in this city need not be reviewed in these coluninst His surprise vote was on the Stgikes and Lockout bill. This bill was fostered by the Manufacturers' association of which he is a mebmer, but he loud in his protests concerning the idea of the bill. He helped to kill it. He got at the “warp and woof” of the pollution of state waters bill and suc- ceeded in having the state appoint a corps of technical men to get into the matter and make recommendations for the next session of the legislature to act upon. His special appropria- tions for soldier relief were deserving of praise. The Eddy-Glover Post adopted a resolution thanking him for his interest in the ex-service- men. Senator Hall claims that he is finished with matters political, but that is for the next few years to decide. House Chairman Richard Covert of the roads, rivers and bridges commit- tee, also can throw bouquets at him- self while many can chirp “well done.” His Normal school work will never be forgotten; he adopted the Fabian method of pestering the powers that be and left no stone unturned to push the matter. He put the “‘skids” under ideas offered by Leonard J. Nickerson, the upstate lawyer from Cornwall way. He watched the taxing of water lands and swapped votes to the advantage of his constituents. When the charter changes for the city of New Britain went through, it was largely due to the work of Repre- sentative Arthur N. Rutherford of the cities and boroughs committee. It is the first time that all changes asked for were granted by the legislature. To Rutherford goes the credit for this historical fact. He, too, spent many an hour convincing representatives that the Normal school affair was the best thing for the state. His stand on the jitney fracas did not please some of his superiorg in the inner circles of republicanism in these parts, but that is not here nor there for the time be- ing. We are liable to hear more from him on the matter later. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.)

A once eminent president of the U. S. remarked that we were confront- ed by a condition not a theory. Now then some 16 years ago I bought the place in which I now reside con- taining some 10 acres of land and an old but comfortable house. 1 bought the place partly for a home | for my family and parily on specu- {1ation on advice of others that .the land being well located in relation to the city and several good build- ing lots available there would soon be a demand for the same, and I will here state that my taxes at that time were $18 per year and have now reached $100. Notwithstanding the fact that soon after.I made the purchase I disposed of one-half of the land at a nominal figure which I felt obliged to do to lessen my mort- gage. Now to the point. I have held the balance of this land staked off into building lots of good size, some of them 70 foot front by 200 feet deep and with no prettier or more health- ful surroundings, and held them at a reasonable figure. Held them, bear in mind, for 16 years and sold only one lot which is being built upon at present. Now why. Because the people would pass it up and go still further out of the city to build because they could get transportation to a little nearer their door than to my place and I am only 10 minutes’ walk from the trolley. But that 10 minutes seems to make considerable differ- ence to pgople seeking a home site. (Witness Barnesdale). = However, since the establishment of a dependable jitney service here, the rents are all taken and enquir- ies are being made for building lots largely owing to the jitney service and no doubt but for the general business depression and with the jit- neys let alone building would begin in this section. But no, we are asked to annihilate progress to maintain the trolley sys- tem and its $18,000 ‘a year president who whether responsible or not the trolley company has, according to re- ports, become an incubus on its own hands, is no ones fault but its own. Since its inception the writer has | been a patron of the West Main street line and for years the west bound cars at certain hours of the day (until recently I do not know how they are) have been so overgrovded even to standing room day in Xnd day out, year in and year out, ax4 apparently no effort made to remec\ it and so I might go on and yet thn powers that be would drive the jitney from the street to. gratify the wants of the few as against the needs of the many. And to conclude, will say it seems reasonable that the people of New PEritain are perfectly capable of choosing their method of trans- portation, providing, of course, that the carrier of their choice is amena- ble to all traffic regulations and of zood character and bonded in suffi- cient sum to protect his passengers against loss by accident. WEST END TAXPAYER. -_ To the Guilty Fisherman. * Its the same old story, over and over again. “That the innocent al- ways suffer for the acts of the guil- ty.” Now that Shuttle Meadow has been closed to lovers of fishing other places are being sought, and White Oak is among those chosen. 7 News has been brought the at- tention of the writer of this article that there is always someone who will abuse a privilege and destroy that which does not belong to them, regardless of how much good or bad it will do themselves or others. As long as the fishermen behave themselves as a true sport should, there seems very little probability of the fishing privilége being taken from them, but the writer = understands that in the past two or three weeks, some irresponsible person or per- sons, has dug, holes in the dam, allowing the water to drain to a lower level. Others have committed nui- sances about the icehouse. These things will not be permitted by the leasers of the property. ‘When some favorite hunting ground or lake, or short-cut is closed to all trespassing, we immediately condemn the party for the action, but when one stops to think of all the damage these good-for-nothing, irresponsible people do to. fences, shrubbery, dams, trees and other un- believable nuisances, one cannot blame the owner. . It is up to every lover of fishing to use some means to stop or in- fluence those who do not know when they are well off. Each and every one of these irresponsible parties should be taught by some means most befitting them, that they are trespassing on property that is not theirs, and that they are only ac- corded that privilege so long as they do not destroy that which does not belong to them. Any person knowing of another committing these nuisances, should see to it that they use every means; to bring the guilty to justice, for it! may mean that the man with his family or the boy out for a fow hours’ sport, will have no place to spend his hours of fishing recreation So let the guilty ones take heed' they know who they are themselves. We all know to what class they be- long and here’s to every wish that the future will still have a place where one can spend a few hours al one of the best sports in the world —fishing. T. L. M.
