When the raise funds for that institution well along, long before the end, there was little question but that it would be a success. New Britain had to have that hos- pital. The need for the hotel is great. The one was a matter of almost life and death. The other is a matter of increased prosperity Every person in this city interested in the hospital. it meant that all would more assured of care ness or accident. The the appeal for funds individuals gave sometimes beyond what they could well afford. There was a reason for it. It was per- fectly proper to show those in very moderate means that the hoapital would be of great value to them. Every person in the city is inter- ested in having the new hotel. But those most vitally interested are not the poor people or those in very mod- erate means. The merchant, the manufacturer, the man or woman who wants his home city to have a hotel worthy of it where their visit- ors, business or social, may stop or where they may entertain them—the great bulk of the money for the new was Vi feel > of sick- to in ¢ ponse was general; | Babson; | l land as a participant caused the break NEW BRITAIN DAILY make, The office would be deluged | with such complaints, many of which justified, perhaps, and there of discrimination if not would be be a cry did to have the had | would make efforts in landlord noti- notice It must the Mayor every case fled of his alleged unfair action that in gort there The office of the into a court that the city taken be remembered, also every dispute of every are two sides to a question. cannot be turned of these disputes.

BREAK IN THE MARKET. Roger Babson throws some que No matter how one bou- England in his aweekly letter, feels toward that admitted that he stating that the nations of law and order her country it must be glves good for Ingland alone, lurope, has stood for in the matter of payment of debts. He attributes the break in the stock market to the fact that Eng- land, who has Europe's “big brother” in financial matters, is in a reasons of all heen hole. She stands alone against Tur- key, with only Germany having the antipathy toward that people. France, says Babson, put England in this hole deliberately. Because the nation which has been the only one in Europe to keep financial matters at all stable is threatened with the posgibility of having to conduct a war against the Turks at the expense of her taxpayers, our stocks break. But whatever happens, declares there will be no check on Farmers, manufactur- prosper and and same over-burdened business here. ers, merchants will money will be firm scarce— l!l‘(‘hnl{‘n!'_\' speaking. Mr. Babson's comments were writ- j!r‘n before Lloyd George delivered his speech at Manchester.

Newsdeal- They should subscribe; they cannot afford not to subscribe in an invest- ment from which their greatest divi- dends will not be in so much actual cash which they can count, but rather increased business from an in- transient trade, own property, for in creased increased value of their better means of entertainment those coming to this city in whom they are interested in a business or social way, and in the strengthening of their investment in a city gaining, through the new hotel, greater prestige. To put the matter bluntly wealthy people of the city, the people who have made solld investment in business and the people who have something to invest to increase their own business are the ones who should see to it that the hotel campaign is a success. They know it and those back of the hotel campaign know it. If the campalign is not a success the wage worker, the salaried man or woman should not be blamed. the PROFITEERING LANDLORDS.™ There are profiteering landlords. Most of the landlords are not prof- iteers. But, as a rule, rents are too high. The suggestion of Mayor Pao- nessa, indicating that official cogni- zance of a “‘boosting of rents” on ar eertain plece of property where rents have been raised without apparent reason will be taken, with a resulting increase in the assessment of such property, is nothing more nor less than a placing emphasis on the neces- sity of keeping close track of the returns on property in order that an equitable assessment may be made when the time comes for such assess- ment. This matter was urged in The Her- ald some months ago when the wis- dom of continuing the advisory board to ald the assessors was put forward. It was then be well to have such board possess char- acteristics order that the changes in the value of prop- erties might be noted and those famillar with such changing values be retained as advisors. A landlord who increases his rent must if he claims to raise it in accordance with Justice, insist to his tenant that the value of the up. It would place him in a most embar- rassing position were he compelled to assert to the in order to gain a lower assessment, that such property had not increased in value. There should be no attempt by the administration to in- crease in assessment on property of apy one individual where complaint has been made that such individudl is profiteering in rent. The Mayor's office is too busy a place to become stated that it would of permanence in property has gone assessors, subsequently, threaten an £L. “" the office of a persdnal attorney for every person who bas complaint to { ers should no more be prosecuted be- | cause magazines sald to be ‘unfit for school children find their way into children’s hands than dealers in fire- arms should be prosecuted because weapons find their way into crim- inals' hands. Most people deplore the trend of mun} of the present day magazines They are not fit for anyone to read, it is alleged. Their storfes do not clevate. Perhaps not. Yet they are what the people demand and the newsdealers, being in that business sell what the people want. The news dealers are no more in the business of elevating the morals of the com- munity and educating them to a proper appreciation of good literature than are merchants who sell women's dresses in the business of educating women in the matter of modesty, The United States regulates what shall pass through the mails and what shall not. If the United States asses certain magazines through the mails a newsdealer is not presumed to question it. He should not be re- to every story in every magazine he selis any more than a merchant should be required to test of cloth he if it comes up to representations. other question would be rafsed if newsdealers went to the trouble of securing reading matter, not allowed fn the mails, from other sources and knowingly sell obscene literature to school children. As matters stand today, however, there are many arti- cles properly sold which weuld injure some peéople. Criminal prosecution of the seller, however, is not just if there is a use for the article or if the selling of it is not illegal.

LLOYD GEORGE'S SPEECH. Premier Lloyd George's cleverness not desert him at the moment when his critics hoped to find some- thing in what he said in his speech at Manchester to strengthen their He has left those critics in the dark as to what he will do. He would quit, he if harm would not to the He did not the labor party as a menace. His attitude was that the government had gained what the gov- was after in the Near East matter, namely, to secure freedom of the straits, protect the minoritics in Constantinople and Thrace. Impliedly he asks if anyone I(’ou!d have done more, Lloyd George's silence as to his plans indicates his belief that those did hants, gladly says, come country mention ernment prevent war and not of the labhor party will conibine against that party and continue lim in power, He may see, also, some support from the labor party by the elements not thoroughly in accord with the radical thought which dom- | Inates it. He saw the wisdom, at any of not further antagomzing the party, Austen Chamberlain had said quite enough on that point in his speech at Birmingham the day before, The significant portion of the speech, which held up for the timid to gaze upon some of the perplexing matters which England has to face, was when said: “I shall watch many things. I shall watch to see how we are to forgive Germany her reparations and yet make France love us mere than ever. I shall rate, labor he HERALD, watch to see how we are to pay the United States all we owe her and for- give every other country all they owe us."” Lloyd George is pretty confident that the conservative liberals of Eng- land will not allow him to retire and watch these things. They operate to see that he, clse, directs will co- not someone action regarding them. Facts and Fancies (BY ROFERT QUILIEN). A sophisticated woman is one who has leactned to forgive herself.
