This change was suggested at a meeting of the committee last night and, surprising to say, it seemed to meet with no opposition. Even the mayor, apparently without giving the subject any analytical consideration, said he favored it. The prosecutor is the representative of the people. If a crime is committed it is his duty to present the cvidence to the court and ask that proper pun- ishment, well defined by the ordi- nances and statutes, be imposed on the guilty party. In following out this procedure, under present conditions, he speaks for the people of New Brit- ain and so long as he is responsible to the common council he will con- tinue to be alert and fearless in the discharge of his duties. To some extent his appointment is colored by politics. If the republican party has a majority in the common council, the prosecutor will usually be a republican, and vice versa. But this po(nt_shnuhl be made clear—the common council would not dare to fly in the face of the people by appointing to the post a man whoee abllity is questioned or one whose integrity is not above suspicion cause, in theory at least, there Is z!osc contact between the members of the council and their constituents, and constituents have a way of expressing themselves which is not always pleas- ing. 1t is proposed to transfer this au- thority, now reposing in the ' people through their common council, to an individual who is a creature of the State of Connecticut, the judge of po- lice court being appointed by the Gen- eral Asserhbly. In effect, this would make the prosecutor independent of the local public and responsible .to a body whose interest in New Britain cannot be great because of the mass of general state ‘business which it has before it while in session, Regardless of local indignation at criminal con- ditions which might arise, the prose- cutor, who would no longer bhe an- swerable to the people, could afford to ignore their demands that these conditions be remedied. He could not be held to account by the public so long as he basked in the sunlight of the judge's favor, and it must al- ways be remembered in this connec- tion that the judge is selected by a state body in which political intrigue is well entrenched. There is another why the judge should not have authority to appoint the prosecutor. Despite the high standard of ethies by which law- yers are supposed to be guided, there is a great deal of wire pulling when a vacancy on the bench is to be filled. with such gplendid patron- reason Naturally, age as a prosecuting their disposal, candidates for a judge- ship would carry on a lively campaign for support bar so that courts out of politics, which is in line we attorney's job at among members of the instead of taking the with modern progressive thought, would be foreing politics on them, Tt} would not be an uncommon spectacle to see a lawyer lobbying for a certain candidate for a position on the bench, with the expectation, of course, that he would receive the appbintment of prosecutor if the candidate for whom he appointed judge. would be- come among members of the bar. Delegating to the judge the author- ity to appoint a prosccutor would cre- was lobbying, were “Back scratehing” even more common ate a political clique at court, a con- dition which no one develop. The proposal to change the method of appointing the prosecutor is an at- tempt to take from the people some of their powers and transfer it to the is anxious to sce state, which never loses an opportun- ity to encroach on local authority. It is a bold stroke, If it the common council in the form of a rec; ommendation is should rejected without ceremony unless that body is willing to surrender its authority and admit that it is no longer capable of interpreting the wishes of the people of New Britain. SHING FROM THE RESERVOIRS IFishing on a large scale indeed is going on at Shuttle Meadow these days when agents of the state fish commission are removing from that reaches be | l i ! NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, ety reservolr a large number of the finny tribe to be placed in nearby ponds where they may legally become the objects of the follower of Tzaak Walton, For a long time there have been envious eyes turned toward Shuttle Meadow by the fishermen of these parts, the pond Is reputed to have bass of all slzes, plain bass, “busters,”. “whoppers,” and “old he- ones.” DPractically undisturbed the denizens of the water have had an op- portunity to carry on, to raise their familles and to search for food that was certainefo he hookless, for many years. A new fish commissioner has seen fit to pursue the polioy of remov- ing the fish from the reservoirs and putting them in unrestricted ponds nearby. From a public standpoint the scheme is undoubtedly excellent, it clears the water that might have be- come overloaded with fish to the de- triment of the watér, and It gives the anxious anglers a chance at the big felows that have been breeding in se- curity for a period of years. Doubtless, however, we must pity the poor fish somewhat. They are to be taken from their old home and placed in waters new and different. This may affect them somewhat, some of them may die before coming ac- climated..Also it will be rather tough on the hungry things to be faced with food with hooks in it, Fish hecome tame animals when they are not angled after, they have even been taught to feed from a person’s hand. We imagine that they have lost. some of their wariness in their security and will prove too éasy victims when they are the objects of a trigy This, how- ever, provides for large strings of fish for a time at least to reward the Wal- tonians. Taking it all in all the scheme is not a bad one, It practically amounts to the using of city reservolrs for breeding pools and from these pools inte fishable waters, A certain’ number of ' fish probably benefit the reservolrs in keeping down the amount of waste matter in the water. Modern sanitation forbids the fishing of these waters by a careless public, and when the water becomes overstocked adjacent ponds benefit greatly. x, CHILI'S EARTHQUAKE Disasters such as occurred in Chili last week are more or less intangible to people of the distrjct in which we tive. Earthquakes anu tidal are practieally unknown “to us, for which we may be duly thankful, When certain® forces combine to place a great stress upon the incasing crust of the globe their outlet of energy is visited upon a spot usually far to the pouth of the United States. San Fran- cisco, wlth its big quake, may be an exceptlah, minor earthquakes are not uncommon in California, but, as a rule we are safe from these phenomena and unable to comprehend the large loss of a life that accompanies such o disaster. 1,000 human beings are said to have been wiped away sudden- ly from life by the waters which dash- ed upon the shores after the convul- slomwof nature somewhere at sea. It is reasonable to suppose that the crust of the earth is of varying thick- ness, that there are weak spots in the cooled surface which will be the first to give when the eenter of the earth gives off steam or Irlnprllonerl gases burst from their earthen bends. The location of these spots may probably be determined and the chances-of hu- man beings to be destroyed be more aceurately figured. Scientists come forward with varying theories as to the cause of the recent quake. One man calls attention to the sun spets which occurred before the trouble, an- other states that certain planets, Mer- cury, Jupiter and Neptune and the sun were in conjunction at the time. It has heep said that indications were that a large “gas-bubble” in the earth had burst forth somewhere at sea and that the ebb and flow of waters was due to their rise and fall into the fissure and before the gasses that burst forth. The world of ad- vanced science Is somewhat remote from us, it is hard to concelve of a reaction after sun spots or at the con- junction of other worlds many, many miles away. Kvery celestial condition, every terrestial condition, should be noted at these times, it leads to ad- vanced knowledge. Our sympathy goes out’ to people who must live in perpetual danger of being annihilated, it must be an un- easy feeling to realize that one is liv- ing in the earthquake helt. They are compensated, we suppose for the thin- ness of the earth underneath them by the warmer rays of the sun above and a more genial climate. We have the variable climate, they have not. But coal is not one of their problems, if earthquakes are. first PROFOUND LOGIC At last a common-sense physician "My advice to women is cosmetics and has spoken. to mnnnuc' to use rouge and enjoy themselves,” he says. He bases his advice on profound logic, reasoning from cause to effect with that precision 6f mental acumen so common to the gentlemen of the medical profession. While serving in the navy during the world war, the physician says he found that sailors were victims of the same skin dis- orders that affect women and which have been attributed to the use of cosmetics. "I hardly think,” he adds, |© his erudite nose in the air and a look of superwisdom on his face, "I hardly again the restocking . waves | think it will be claimed that those men werg users of powder and paint."” Of course this physician thinks no reason against the use of cosmetios could exist expect a physical one, As long ax thelr use does not Injure the skin, in other words, it Is quite all right. 1f paint upen the lly did not harm {t, he would advise painting thd Ily, He evidently cannot conceive the state of mind of a person who would admire the Nly more, would think it more beautiful, without the paint even thpugh that paint be brilllant as gold, radiant as the sparkle of a pure whito dlamond. [Following the same line of reasoning, perhaps, the physician would not think there was any harm in crossing his palm with & piece of sllver contributed to him by the man- ufacturers of cosmetics, provided the sliver did not Injure the texture of the skin of the palm, Ideals, ideals, where art thou?
