NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1922. DAVIDSON @ LEVENTHAL SUCCESSORS TO fine care and sympathetie instruction of good people, A news item telling of a friend of the Home who, upon recovering from {lincss, sent a fifty dollar check from hls home in Western Nebraska, indl- cutes something of the feeling for the Home that may be found In many places of the country, Money from Oregon, Chicago, Canada, Kansas and Illinols {8 reported to have becen re- cefved, How much solicitation, if any, | was required to bring such ald does not appenr, but it {s well for New Brit- aln people to note the facts in re- | gard to this fnstitution of which we e | are all proud, and to remember the pattiieciiser ’{’l" C',‘:,Z:”.‘"'{:L"',‘,,:'i A Nea | nfluence of Rev, John E.

Psychologically Mr, Babson s right | when he asserts that soclalism as a partygmovement i{s almost dead and | that %hc busy worker will have no time to come down from his ladder and listen to wild radical talk, Soclal- ism, as represented by flery orators, finds a more willing ear in the man | who 18 inclined to come down f{rgm that ladder whether or not there is anything to come down for other than a rest. While loafing, or resting, he s quite willing to listen to -anything. Babson asserts that organized labor has rid itself of soclalinm and that af- ter election the farmers will be dis- appointed to find how little good their leaning In that direction has done them. Thus, in the middle-of-the-road course, there is encouragement for the progressive thinker who does things while he is thinking. If the country had been taking this middle course, heeding progressive suggestion with all due regard to safe procedure, radicallsm would not have assumed the proportiops it has, and conserva- tism would not have been frightened Into fighting for its life. The fact that general business stands at only eight per cent below normal, at this time, indicating no falling off, is in itself encouraging. all New Britain Herald HERALD PUMLISBHING COMPANY (Issucd Dally, Sunday Excepted), At Horwd Bldg, 67 Church Btreet, SBUBESCRIPTION RATES: 8.0 o Yeur. $2,00 Three Months.

There would seem to be no ques- tion but that the people would regis- ter their protest against the great use of money to secure office. No matter if Senator Newberry was entirely in- nocent of technical wrong, .certainly his action in countenancing such vast expenditures, if he did countenance them, should receive the people's re- proof. Certainly advocacy of a sup- porter of Newberry would hinder the proper fight against this means of ob- taining office. And it would seem to be more important at the moment, to record disapproval of such course, than to split hairs as to the compara- tive wisdom of the various candidates for the office of United States Sena- tor.

Capital did not get what it was after, and what it still believes it should have—the right to pay lower wages. Labor is a little bet- ter off than capital, probably; as a re- sult of the strike, and yet labor has suffered five months of wageless days. Finally the people. the people who make it possible for operators and miners to because the people furnish the market for coal, are the real sufferers. And “settlement’ of coal troubles is as far distant as it was five months ago. Perhaps, about the time recovered from the blow that has been inflicted upon industry and comfort and ‘“normalcy,” there will come new demand on the part of labor or a threat of reduction in wages by cap- ital.

Native that country, coming United States, have assumed positions here and have gained the reputation for industry and thrift which makes the good news from that land no more than was to be expected. Their energy and thrift, as seen in America, is uni- versally recognized In the export trade Sweden nearly approaches pre- war standards in some others surpa ing to note especially that America is indebted to Sweden for much newsprint, the export figure from that country showing that it exported to us 72 per cent more, during June of this year, than it did in the same month in 1913. Sweden is importing raw material in great quantity and at the present rate, especially in copper, will soon be furnishing as large a market as she was in the year before the In congratulating that country on her increasing strength and her re- turn to stability the native-born American may feel that he is congrat- ulating the land of a people many of whom have become respected and powerful citi~ens of his own land. recovery of to the lines and in of i war., AIDING CHILDREN'S HOME It has been more or less as source of wonder to many people in New Britain, who did not know the facts, that the Children's Home went along its splendid way without oft recurring “drives” and campalgns to raise money. All knew that it took money to run it and all knew that money given to it would be spent worthily. But as long as the money seemed to come from somewhere, no one wor- ried much about it, being very well satisfied indeed that there was such a place here where the smallest chil- dren might be taken and where they sometimes remained until after they Bad reached their “teens” under the The | would seem to be no possibility of a difference of opinion as to the proprie- ty of expending fortunes to obtain a position as representative of the peo- ple. POLICE RECORDS Hearty approval will follow the sug- gestion of the police commisioners that especial attention be given to de- partment records. In a general way most people realize the importance of such records, but few know the great- er possibilities for protection against crime and apprehension of criminals that follows complete, full—and pri- vate—recording of details that come to the knowledge of the police de- partment. Perhaps there is no necessity for maintaining the intricate records in this city which are kept in the New York department, for instance. This | city is not the mecca of all criminals, and is not the meeting place where those who are contemplating crime or hiding from the law congregate. New Britain is too small to a‘ford a refuge where & man may sink his identiy completely as he may do in some cases in New York—and more would be able to do were it not for the system of surveillance and record- ing of data which obtains there, Many of the records of the depart- | ment are quite properly secret. Next to the duty of keeping outward order comes that of keeping those records and complete. Matters of of- ficial record, which must be open to the public at all times, should be plain and distinct. Having a clerk whose it is to that this is thelr condition will aid people whose work or affairs make it necessary to consult them. It would be good to feel assured also, that there was someone who saw | to it that this other data, this in- formation which will help in fdentity- ling and capturing criminals and which | may suggest possible perpetrators of crime, was carefully kept and avail- | able always to the heads of the police department. as many orderly duty see BABSON'S PREDICTION “I believe that the lease of life of the soap box orator and all the rest of the frenzied gghorters of our day, | may be, for the present, cut short," declares Roger Babson In his predic- of “middle of the [road” policy, between extreme radical- with invest- | tlon of a period ism and extreme conservatism, resultant constructive work, ment and good times, There would be a hearty prayer that his belief is well founded if we could be equally certain that the day of the narrow, extreme conservative, in his chair will be cut short.

While union leaders were berating the Daugherty injunction, other speakers dealt with the industtial situation in another light. Nctable examples of these were the speeches of Secretary of Labor Davis at Moose- heart, 111, and Edward J. Brundage, attorney general of Illinois at a gathering of Chicago republicans.
