It is| more striking when voiced by a lay- man accustomed to dealing with prac- tical figures rather than with things spiritual. At all events there can be no questioning the truth of the state- ments of each, layman and Bishop. There is another statement Bishop Anderson's that might just as well be faced. “The bootlegger is a traitor to the United States govern- ment and so is every person who sup- ports him and every newspaper which apologizes for him,” he says. Let it be said incidentally that no case of any person oOr newspaper “apologizing for" hootleggers has been | noted. It is not believed that there have been such instances—not, at least, in Connecticut. But the matter of importance fs the statement that every person who sup- ports the bootlegger js a traitor to the government. Let it be admitted, if aecessary. Grant, for the sake of argu- the word “traitor” is ap- person who buy of ment,that plicable to every liguor from a bootlegger. What then? There are hundreds of thousands of “traitors” in this country, if the word be uged in this way. Morever the band of “traitors” is growing every day. Not only are the older people who have been accustomed to liquor all their adult lives such “traitors,” but their children and their grandchildren are growing up, “traitors.” If that word is thus applied, and if the present con- ditions continue there will be no gen- erally recognized disgrace in being a “traitor,” If then, the “best people” as well as the “man in the street” branded “traitors” by leaders in the church, grow to consider the stigma a stigma no longer, will they not cease to consider it a disgrace to be traiter- ous in ways othe> than in regard to liquor? “Lawbreaker” formerly sidered a characterization which all would shun. Many, many people today know they are “lawbreakers.” A judge, having sentenced a man to jail for selling liquor, sat at home in the eve- ning and took a drink, commenting seriously that he himself was no better in this matter than the man he had sent to jail. Yet who would be so Quixotic as to declare that the judge should deliver himself to the au- thorities for his act? Who, wishing for peace and quiet in this country, would advocate having every person in the country who had broken this enforcement law go today before the authorities and give themselves up? | There would be a precession thou- sands of miles long, there was con- in which Every day new deviees | and although | the public i women always have somes never 8o thing to talk about, and some have any aches or pains The unkindest cut of all is the one | the surgeon makes to get at an in- being used by eriminals may experiment somewhat these new | rosults are in an endeaver to mect the eriminal inventions, not as noticeable In attendance, Following a bountiful repast Mrs, James E, O'Brien, presis dent of the auxiilary, delivered an ad. dress of welcome and introdueed Mrs, Daniel Kehoe as toastmistress, IRev John T, Winters, pastor of 8t, Mary's church, talked interestingly on the sociely and remarked on its progress . | work on devices for protecting propers | use of soft coal should make soft would be men of every walk in life— judges would follow laborers, lawye bankers and merchants would march by the side of mechanics, craftsmen of all sorts. And it would not be surpris- | ing to see in that great procession ministers of the gospel and mothers of “families, all forming that band of “traitors.” Means must be taken other thoge of calling names before the ter-] rible condition of affairs may bg ai- tered. { many little sufferers, than | A CRIME SCHOOL _The police of Pittshurgh say lho_vl Bave discovered correspondences | ®hool for training safe erackers, ‘evi- a @ence of which was found 11 tha form | of instructipn books showing how: to | there would ve no risk in open 27 different makes of cafes lr| the publishers of such books are ac- cused of doing anything against the law there will probably be a defense raised that there are occasions when § child who has siept out of doors win- | proper reasons make the opening of # ‘Joeked safe a perfectly legitimate busi- ness, and that such hagks are useful wheun, for some reason, the combina- fion of a safe has heen lost. | ‘however, tiese discoveri)s 6f the It wenld poliee depart. ments, especially in the larger ecities, | might make the work of their experi- mental branches more intersive, There is a great field for practieal men to seem that ty and apprehending cemminas with as keen interest as the criminals are studying out new ways of making money in thelr business, IMMEDIATE RELI It is inspiring to see the speedy, re- ussuring promises of relief in a dis- | tressing situation coming from the general manager of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and from the superintendent of the Connecticut company, Such prompt- ness is to be pralsed and we are a fortunate people indeed that we arc served by such accommodating trans- portation companies, Only the other day the complaint was made and already long episties | have been written by the transporta- tion officials promising active co- operation in correcting the complained of, and conveying the ardent thanks of the corporations for our having called their attention to the matter that distressed us. So it is all right. Things will be fine. Pages and pages of prom- ises have been written out and pro- testations of almost love and affcetion have come ffom the obliging roads. evils Oh yes—the complaint that is here referred to was not about delayed trains and inadequate service; the promises of eager co-operation by the company were not made, regarding these small matters. No, the promises were about the important business of prohibiting smoking in stations and cars, These things the companies will do their best to correct. Splendid, isn't it? USING SOFT COAL | News of an exploslor} because of the coal no more unpopular than would news of a great conflagration started by a match malie matches unpopt Matches are perfectly safe if used pro- perly and soft coal is perfectly safe if care is taken to follow the rules re- gagding it, such as firing part of the coal at a time and leaving part red s0 that the guses may burn up. It is well to renew the warning re- garding one feature of burning soft coal at this time as little has heen made of it. The draft must be kept | open when using soft coal, says a} deputy fuel administrator the ! Bronx, New York, who has had occa- sion to look carefully into this matter. “Be sure to have the draft open,” he says, “when you feed soft coal into a very hot fire. When you shut off the draft, gas forms and makes an explo- sion possible.” Piling alot, of soft coal on a fire with the draft closed is.dan- in derous. NAKED KIDS It does little good to think you are progressive and then go along in the same old ways, getting no good out of the your progressive ideas. Of course those who believe there can be noth- ing good in a new idea will fail to approve therc remarks here made. It is worth while, then, to take hold; of a new idea and get the good of HI by practicing the new habit.

So far not a single person has been found who has not been able to call off the colors correctly at the given distance, These figures have made it elear to the department officials that any accidents which happen at grade crossings or elsewhere where signals arc ignored, are due entirely to care- Jessirss and not to any physical de- fects in the drivers.

Chairman E, ¥, Hall raised the question of the advis- ability of teaching young boys indus- trial work rather than devoting all school hours to learning the “funda- mentals,” as he termed f{t. Mr. Holmes sald that under the present Junior High school arrangement the child is given a thorough grounding on the “old line” subjects in addition to the new work, For text books, $11,000, which is $2,000 more than asked this year, is sought. Mr, Traut told the commit- tee that textbooks cost the city an average of $1.37 for each pupil. When the insurance increase of $7,000 was explained to the board as necessary for the rencewal of some poiicies, Committeeman George Le Witt inquired as to what is the in- |surance bill per year for the entire |system. He was told that it is ap- proximately $4,000 per annum. Chairman Hall inquired as to the costs of recreation and music in the | | schools, meaning by recreation, socials and dances. Supt. Holmes told the committee the pupils finance all so- cials and dances and that music, in- cluding the instructor, costs the school department 85,000 approxi- mately, Mayor Opposes Public Dances Mayor Paonessa expressed disap- proval of public dances in the schools, favoring limiting attendance to pu- pils. He told of attending one func- tion at which there were several out- siders who told him they had come for a good time and to take the girls home. The mayor asked Mr. Holmes if he approved of the idea and the school superintendent replied that he considered it no worse than taking a young woman home from church services. Mr. Traut presented figures show- ing that of the total amount askeu, 79 per cent is for teachers and sup- plies and approximately 10 per cent for jamttors and light. The remain- ing 11 per ecent is apportioned in cquipment, incidentals, superintend- ent's salary and clerks, health and misellaneous items. Hall Warns of Overdrafts When Chairman Jackson of wublic amusement commission pre- | sented his estimates, Chairman Hall noticed that an overdrawal of $339.18 had been made. He sounded what was believed to be an annowhcement of policy to be rightly enforced when he warned the chairman against fu- ture overdrawals and remarked with emphasis that hoards must not ex- ceed their appropriations, The amusements commission asks $2,450 for superintendents ef play- grounds; $150 for janitor services; $1,200 for the July Fourth celebra- tion; $800 for band concertd; $150 for a municipal Christmas tree; $200 for baseball games; $1,000 for new equip- ment and $600 for supplies. If the money is provided, a new playground will be created on Paradise park, Mr. Jackson told the committee. The chairman presented bills of $666.50 for Armistice Day celebration. The bills have not been paid because | of a dispute as to who should pay. Mr. Jackson was out ofgthe city when the committee wasaappointed and upon his return was informed by Chairman George H. Dyson that the city was to take care of the bills.| On that assumption he contracted numerous bills which the commission is not now in a position to pay. The mayor and others felt the cele- | bration was a credit to the city and that the bills should be paid.
