It is feared, however, that chronlc enemles of everything that savors of uplift will attempt to go farther this time and will not allow the matter to drop of its own welght. The public should understand the situation clearly. Any attempt to re- strict the usefulness of the local school board would not be an attack on the hoard but it would be an at- tuck on the rank and file of New Britain.

Unlike | most city departments, it cannot show | returns in dollars or cents, it cannot | point to a stretch of paved roadway, to new electric lights, to attractive parks or any other concrete proof that the money was well invested.

It is sald that Judge Alling will be appointed to the judiciary committee, one of the most responsible of the en- tire government, Judge George W. Klett, his law partner, was chairman of the judiciary committee when he was in the senate. Judge Alling's familiarity with the needs of the judi- ciary gained through service on the local police court bhench and long practice hefore the bar qual- ifies him for such an appointment, Mr. Christ, it is reported, will have his choice of a berth on the finance or appropriations committees, either of which he would grace because of his experience as purchasing agent of the Stanley Works and his close affiliation with local activities which have re- quired a man of administrative train- ing and abllity as their leading spirit, PR The republican town committee has been urged to change the hours of primaries from 4 to 8 o'clock to 3 to 8 o'clack and it is probable that the recommendation will be adopted. The proposed hours would be more con- venient for women who participate in the primaries, is the claim, as it would allow them to cast their ballots at a seasonable hour and return home without the need of heste, to prepare the eevning meau for their families. PE Herald readers will be forced ait an hour later for their election “extra” this year, a law having passed the last legislature requiring the polls to remain open until 6 o'clock instead | of 5, as heretofore. No one in the New Britain political fleld can explain the | purpose of the new closing hour and | the opinion is expressed that it will prove to be of little advantage here. Owing to the activity of party workers the majority of votes have always been | rounded up long before 5 o'clock and it is expected that the hardest work election officials will do between 5 and 6 o'clock will be to watch the clock anxiously. . . Nothing within recent years caused so much conversation as the nomination of P. 8. McMahon for sen- ator by the democratic party. Most of the conversatnon, it is true, is of a character to indicate that the speakers accepted the decision of the demecrats in a spirit of levity and hardly expect, that McMahon will he elected al- though there are a number who would | like to see him sent to the senate be- cause they know his presence there would be productive of amusement Very few have been found who take the nomination seriously and those who actually believe McMahon will win on election day are almost negligi- ble. Little can be said in favor of the democratic xln‘e as a slater. It is not truly representative of the party and it is doubtful whether it can command | undivided party support. Mr. Nied- swieckl no doubt, will attract a large number of votes in the fifth ward, | particularly among residents of Polish birth or descent. Mr. Gans exjscts to poll a heavy vote among péuf.. of the Jewish faith. What part McMahon will | play is problematical, unless it be that | he was “honored” because he is sup- posed to he possessed of large chunks of money and it is further supposed that he will contribute liberally. The policy of the democratic hier- archy apparently is to nominate men of different nationalities. This strategy has worked before but it is doubtful whether it will be successful this year. The best the party can expect is a large vote in the sixth ward and a plurality in the fifth which may be great or may be slight. In the first, second, third and fourth the republicans expect to roll up large | MAo | has | margins in favor of théir candidates. There is hope among the democrats of cutting into tha G. O, P, vote in the second, hecause there are A number of Itallans in the ward who may vote the democratic ticket in support of Mayor Paonessa and also hecause the leader of .the Quigley faction, who Ilives in the second ward, is suppoged to. be lukewarm toward the success of the party. The republicans do not admit that the refection in the second will be large enough to cause any alarm and they are confident that the out- pouring of voters who want to see the Covert-Alling-Christ ticket go through will be large enough in the four lower wards to offset any progress their riv will make in the fifth and sixth. * saw pleasure this week that the Lyceun theater management intends to offer ‘“‘rond shows" during the coming sea- son. A tentative program has been arranged for the presentation of dramas and musical comediés al- though, so far as {8 known now, no definite bookings have been made. It is announced that the firat offerink may give friends and admirers to John Mlitern, (John Sheehan) an oppor- | tunity to receive him in proper style in this city. It s Ntting and proper that A New Britain man should take & principal role in the renaissance of the drama in this city and if arrange- ments can be completed for Mr. Mil- tern to appear here it should be a red letter night in the history of the local speaking stage. The best fraditions of the Lyceum demand the presentation of good plays. In years past most of the cele- brities of the world of make belleve appeared before its footlights and its history is one of which no playhouse need feel ashamed. Many of the stars that twinkled before New Brit- | ain audiences have been extinguished by the hand of Time but their spirits haunt the dressing rooms and they still glow with all their brilliance for the “Old Guard" of first nighters. If the management of the Lyceum | can restore the house to its former glory it will be another step in the progress of the city. But the manage- ment cannot be held entirely responsi- ble for the policy of the theater. Good shows are produced at heavy expense tribute by patronizing the theater. If New Britain's standard of entertain- ment fails to rise ahove “‘movies’ it cannot expect anything higher in the way of offerings from theater owners, because they can be depended on to give the public what it wants, . o The Lady Optimist was speaking. “To me (she said) al life is rep- | resented by the row of hills on the turnpike between Berlin and Hart- ford. I travel over the road frequently and I can't help comparing the jour- ney with the journey of life. “A short distance oeut of eBrlin the eye is greeted with a range of hiils ahead—a series of barriers betwegn vou and your destination. They appear steep and forbidding and as you speed closer they appear insurmountable— unless you are familiar with the abili- ty of your car. “Soon you are climbing. You pass over one hill, and another springs into yiew. You pass that, and then another rises in your path. So goes the trip un- til you reach the level road beyond |and then you begin to realize that most of the pleasure of the Fide was gained through surmounting the hills | | and gazing upon the panorama laid out before you. “Isn't that life? Isn't it true that | from the cradle to the grave we are faced with problems very much like the hills, problems which !oom up be- fore us unexpectedly and which re- quire more gas in the engine if we're not going to get stalled at the foot?

The laying of the corner stone of the new building for the New Britain General hospital, wihich takes place Saturday afternoon of this week, constitutes a noteworthy event! one | that calls for cordjal commehdation. (R Of all the varied public benefae- tions that flourish in these modern |days the hospital takes precedence. This institution is one of the things | that sharply differentiates civiliza- tion from savagery or mediaevalism. 1t renders to the public the greatest | most practical /and direct service possible. That the need 1is great is jshown by the fact that it always out- | runs hospital facilities. New hospi- tals are being bullt in many towns and the established ones are ‘con- stantly enlarged, but demand keeps ahead of the accommodations. The city of New Britain "has a most honorable record in this respect. Tt has long maintained an excellent and helpful hespital, one -that has ren- {dered splendid seryice; which! it iwifl |scon be able to increase because of | the generous aid given by citizens to | the new building project. ~ We extend congratulatipns to the offiéers, physicians and nurses of the New Britain General Hospital |and to the citizens who have made | the new building possible.
