There are two interesting sugges- * tions contained in this remark. First, tit having been pretty well shown as far as New Britain and some other | cities of the state are concerned that " i™the people” want either a decided re- duction in trolley fares and a better 'l.arviee. or they want the jitneys— : #his having been shown, the Attorney !'General, in calling the legislature “The i¥bice of the people’ must have felt that the “voice” must have spoken prompted not by what the people say they want, but by what the legislature, *the voice,” thought was best for the people. Some ° belleve this is the true theory of a republican government. “They believe that in some matters Jegislators, being more familar with Wwhat is best, should decide for the people according to what is best for them and not in accordance with what the people think and say is best for them. They, the legislators, ac- cording to this theory, believe that the people have elected them as they would choose a physician, a lawyer— that the people should obey and be eatisfied with the decsion of the legis- lature, as they would with that of the doctor or lawyer. Whatever may be said in favor of this theory of government, there are points on which the people themselves know best what is best for them. . Such a matter is that of transpof- ‘tation. The people, not the legislators, have to do the riding. They are the ones who have to be carried to work daily by street car or jitney—or they have ito walk. Thus, if “the voice of the people” has decided that the trolley must stay and the jitney must go, it must have been the subconscious ‘voice” that Bpoke. The other rather surprising state- ment of the attorney general, as re- ported, was that the legislature had decided that the trolleys must stay and the jitneys must go. For some reason it was the popular ubelief that the law passed by the leg- islature left it to the people to decide ‘this matter. It was the impression that the law .stated that certificates would be grant- de jitneys if they were shown to be ‘& public necessity. It was under this theory that the Mhearings were held before the public watilities commission. That commission mseemed to be gravely considering kwhether or not the jitneys were a Wpublic necessity. The commission sgranted a few certificates, presuma- fibly on that ground—that they were i® public necessity and the people had ishown them to be such. If the “voice of the people” as seen Jn the legislature, had already decjded t “the trolley must stay and the #jitney must go,” the statement at- Sributed to the Attorney General, it seems a etrange act on the pagt of the public utilities commission 2o dppear to recognize the fact that the voice of the people had not al- ready decided that the jitneys must o. But it is quite possible that the leg- islature has decided that the jitne: must go. If the legislature has so decided, tertainly it has not spoken with “the voice of the people.” OBJECT LESSONS, One of the advantages of the “movies’”” i3 that they often present object lessons to peopla who would Otherwise remain in ignoranca of world affairs.

The wisdom of making full trial of this’ sort of war aceivity cannot ba overestimated. It will cost a consid- erable amount, but would prove true economy in the end, and tho end i1 no: far distant.

From the earliest times until the present, men and women, civilized and savage, tame and wild—including the present-day ‘wild-woman”—have expressed their emotions, their art on occasions, in rhythmical movement of body and limbs. It is interesting to note that New Britain dancers will have the “Collega Rock” and the *“Chicago Drag” of which to make an’ intensive study. Confessing to ignorancee of the niceity of the steps of the modern dance, one may nevertheless make the comment that, ot course, the ‘“Collese Rock” is appropriately named. = Collega should be the rock upon which future success should be founded. Undoubt- edly the new dance, as all darces should be, i3 a personification of that sort of rock. It must ve solid and serious. There can be no frivolity connected with such a serious theme chosen for reproduction in the dance. The “Chicago Drag” also bears a name cuggestive of the handicap placed upon a person who has passed life in that city of handicaps. It will be interesting to a rovice in these new steps to see just how thelr inter- pretera present tha ailegorical spec- tacles. If there should be frivolous trimmings they will but accentuate the significance of tke dignified theme. Most pleasing to note is the fact that the “Toddle,” and the “Shimmy"’ are passing away. Nct only dancers but dignified men and won have toddled about their busines and shimmied uncertainly Iong enough. The country must cease toddling and shimmying and progress, with digni- fied, purposeful propriety, into. tha place where it belongs, allowing the jazz to jangle into the depths where there is weeping-and gnashing of teeth. It i5 quite natural that college men should take the-lead in advocating this dignity of the dance. College men—not boys, mind you—feel their importance and, aa they advancae through their course, they appreciate the burden of the morals of the world which rests upon their shoulders, broadened by vast experiencea — in athletics. Taken from all points, the outlook for tho influence of the dance is bet- ter. = WHILE WE ARE ABOUT IT. ‘While everyone in the city is urged to give jobs to men out of work—to make their places, their lawns and yards as beautiful as they can af- ford by employing men from the mu- nicipal bureau, it might be well for the city boards to look more keenly to the odd jobs it has that it might do if funds of the city are available. It is known that the park commis- tion, some time ago, called attention ‘o a little spot at the intersecion of Harford avenue and Stanley street which is, to say the least, not a beau- iiful place to gaze upon as one comes mnto the city from Belvidere. The point of land is the city’s prop- erty, but, lying idle and unimproved, seems to have been made use of for various purpose that do not add to ‘ts attractiveness. ‘While there are gangs of men working on the streets near that point it would seem wise, if funds may be made available, to change this little triangle from something that does not add to the beauties of the city, into a place which will be one more spot of the many which give a favorable impression of New Britain Lo those entering it. And above all it would give more vork to men who need it—the sort of work most, i not all of which, might be done by men now available and who are being given jobs by the city.

Bather, Unable to Swim, Is Held Down By “Life Prescrver.” Hackensack, N.'J., Aug. 6.—Her- man Sloughter, 23 years old, of Shef- field avenue, Englewood, was drowned in the Hudson river off Fort Lee laat night when he dove off a motorboat with ag automebile tire about him. In the launch were Sloughter's wife, Wwhom he had married six weeks ago, and a girl friend of hers. Sloughter could not swim, and it was believed in the dive the automobile tire was loosened from his shoulders and counterbalanced him, making it im- possible for him to fight his way to the surface. George Hassler of Fort Lee, who heard the cries of the women, dove in after Sloushter and succeeded in reaching him, but Sloughter seized him in such a way that Hassler had to break away from him to save his own life. The body was recovered about an hour later. — COMMITTED TO HOME.

At & hearing in New Haven yester- day, attorneys for the Connecticut company put forward the plea that the financial strength of the com- pany is threatened -by the continued'| operation of jitney busses. They, therefore, asked for relief in the form of a modification of the injunction by Which stute officials are restrained trom interfering with the operation of | public passenger motor busses. It is generally acknowledged that Jitneys are eating into the revenue of the trolley company, and if this be. true, is it not an argument in favor of the jitneys, proving that the peo- Ple, of their own volition, are pat- ronizing motor transports in prefer. ence to trolleys? to the conclusion that there must be some reason for the people's actions and immediately the word service comes to mind. If the Connecticut company would give service at a rea- sonabls rate of fare there would never be any jitney problem. The thousands of nickels that are rain- ing into the pockets of the jitney men would be diverted to the treas- ury of the Connecticut company. Isn’'t it really about time that the managers of the trolley companies came around to the people's way of thinking instead of trying to force their inflextble wills on the public? Business men everywhere are cutting prices for the purpose of attracting more trade. They are enabled to do this by enforcing economies. Per- haps if the trolley managers would investigate they would discover eco- nomies of administration and opera- tion which would permit them, also, to offer a more attractive .rate for the goods they have to sell. The petition for the modification of the injunction appears to be a plea for special protection against com- petition, a condition which would be repugnant to the great mass of citi- zens. In'effect, the company says: “We cannot do business unless rivals are harred.” This is a poor spirit to show, One of the lawyers for the com- pany said that jitneys were restricted by the legislature, “the voice of the people.” Such a statement is the height of absurdity. The last legisla- ture never received any commission from the people to deprive them of an agreeable means of transportation at a price in keeping with their purses. To borrow a phrase from the boy who delivers our Herald, if the legislature is the vofce of the people it sometimes “talks through its hat." Every. effort should be made by New Britain officials to identify and prosecute the foreman of the depart- ment of public works who is alleged to be “sweating” his workers out of part of their weekly wages. The story should be traced to its source and the guilty person Punished, if evidence can be found to do so. For the sake of New Britain an official statement should be issued denying the truth of the_rumors, if the authorities learn that they are without foundation. { “Selling Jobs' is said to be quite common in some cities. Such a con- dition has not existed in New Britain, within recent years at least. - No more dastardly conduct could de imagined, during this period of financial stress. To discriminate against deserving citizens because they are unable or refuse to give part of their wages is a high crime against public standards. It guilt can be established, the name of the foreman should be published and he should be punished with in- stant dismissal and arrest, if it is pos- This thought leads | sible to bring him before the bar of justice. From a political standpoint, New Dritain enjoys a singularly clean reputation. Polities is bound to creep in here and there; errors in judgment are not rars and favoritism is some- times shown; but from year to year there have been no vicious violations of public trust, no cries of graft and bribery. Our political record is clean. It should be kept clean. The unpleasant information pub- lished in;the Herald on Wednesday afternoon quoting government statis- tics as the basis for the assertion that New Britain is the most illiterate city in the state should be accepted {n the light of a challenge to those commun- ity forces which work for improve- ment. It is not claimed that New Britain has the largest number of flliterate persons, but that the percentage is higher than in any other city in Con- necticut. As was to be expected, by far the greater part of those who walk in the black valley of illiteracy are from foreign lands. This proves that there is .a broad fleld here in which to sow the seeds of education among adults. Ordinary methods, like extending the privileges of even- ing schools to those who wish to at- tend, wili not hit the buil's-eye. Ex- traordinary methods must be adopted and vigilantly pursued so that when the next government census is taken the percentage figures will be lowe: The education of the young is well cared for by a competent board of education and by achool facilities of a high standard. Some means should be conceived of getting at the older people and making the acquirement of an education a pleasure rather than dfudgery. by e WHAT ALE US The Good Old Days.

Stoeckel, state motor vehicle commissioner, has taken a courageous stand against the proposal of Secretary Melicy. of the federal treasury department to impose a tax of $10 on every automobile owner in an effort to help fill up the national treasury. Perhaps conditions may be pecu- liar to Connectitut, but it is a fact that automebile owners in this state are now bearing all the tariff possible.
