This is as it should be. There is not a fisherman who would not be willing in the to pay a dollar or so a year in order to insure himself better fishing. But the joker in the whole deal seems to be that the fish, raised on state money for people who are willing to pay a license are planted in brooks upon which only a chosen few may fish. There is at fee, report of the Fish and Game commissioner for the present year. During 1922, accord- ing to the report, there were approx- imately 10,000 trout planted in a cer- tain five brooks in the vicinity of Ne Britain. The people of the state paid for these trout. the five brooks, to the knowledge of the writer were posted in whole or in part last fishing season and probably will be this year if they have not been all along. The other brook he does not happen to know, posted also. Only a chosen few may fish on these streams, although every- one is expected to furnish the fish. The same conditions may obtain all about the state, we are writing about brooks of which we know. It is time that the Fish and Game eommission stops its arguments for a license on the of making fish better for everyone when it is doing be doing this The public should benefit the few, influence hand ¢ And four out of it is probably plea as it appears to in particular section. not be taxed despite the power and that few. Let the legislature, if it wishes to tax fishermen also ensure that the fisherman gets a chance to catch the fish that his money has raised. Let it adopt a law to stop posting of stocked brooks. Let the fishing clubs pay for their fry if they wish to stock their brooks and keep others off. The seeming fact that the posted brooks have been stocked indicates either that the comnfission does not know what it is doing or it is playing favorites in the distribution of fish. Stop talking licenses until a license will allow one to fish where there is fishing. to of ZONING A zoning bill has been introduced in the legislature. Tt is unfortunate that this matter was not up long ago by the people of New Brit- | ain, a movement repeatedly suggested by this newspaper. The practical re- sults of system of zoning would bring increased value to property, or at least an assurance that property would not be depreciated in value be« cause of new building, and would not | by the adoption of the system, lessen the value of any A simple test of the value of the plan man thinks of building a home, for instance. first question he asks is whether or not the locality is “restricted.” If it is, the immediately assumes a greater value in his eyes. Often ru- mors of the possible erection huilding near a man's property cause him real anxiety. The zoning system would relieve him of all worry on this score. In a word the zoning system provides against the deterior- ation of any neighborhood, whethep it be residential, business or manufac- turing. Zoning is growing in all over the country as its benefits are being recognized and as pcople’ are waking up to the wisdom of 4. On January 1, 1923 there were 100 cities, towns and villages under the zoning gystem as compared with 55 just one year before. Eighty-one per cent of the urban population of New York State lives in zoned municipalities. | The cities, towns and villages of the | country are looking favorably upon the system. Eventually it will be in! universal use.

By logical, mathematical reasoning, therefore, it would seem that the per- sons in the best position to judge the matter without influenced by any desire for power or any aesire to retain the power they have, are the senator and, the representatives, If, then, they are against the amenament, it would seem, mathematically speak- ing, amendment should not be made to the charter, T v UCAN are being the “FREEDOM. the habit “pointing with pride” to our freedom, Americans in of and looking upon England, a monar- a land where “liberty” is an unknown thing.

SECOND THOUGHTS A few days ago the report appeared that Harold Schwarm, the once-was almost-de going to work as a cook. Wasn't that of him? Moreover wasn't that a straightforward, manly thing for a chap to do who was under a cloud which might prove but a mist and might be a forerunner of a storm? And how fine of him to go to work, when he might be earning at the rate of $40,000 or $50,- 000 life One was to discourse learnedly upon Bourbon, was Fine! democratic 1 real work writing_his story! tempted the wisdom of his action. But re Today comes the news that, though he may still go the art of one rained. to work temporarily at cooking, may seek to elevate the vaudeville stage, giving a monologue —a “monologu incidentally, being | something princes and pseudo-princes | enjoy indulging in. Of course there is nothing the mat- 1t m\-l tertains one, often. Vaudeville actors are often worthy people, Vaudeville he shows are some of the fine things one has left to emphasize one's ability to enjoy life and keep within the law, But vaudeville “acting" isn't cook- Ing. After all one is rather glad that the temptation to laud young Bchwarm's determination to devote his time, while under bonds, to cook- Ing did not prove too strong, Secopd thoughts are often the best—and this refers to second thoughts ahout prais- Ing something too quickly, not te young Schwarm's second thoughts, Of course people will go to hear Harold tell his story from the stage—if he does tell it. The important question, for Harold, is will the court listen to his story more sympathetically or less sympathetically bécause he has told it from the stage—if he does tell it? OPPORTUNITY The more minutes, hours and days spent in discussing the matter of day- light saving, or, more properly, day- light using, the more time will be tuken from worth while work, the more timeé will be wasted. There is no sense in “waiting to see what others will do.” Whether clocks are changed or not, the live, energetic people of this and every other community will get up and work at something carlier in the warm months than they did in the winter. Suppose climate where it rained every day between 9 a. m, and 4 p. m. in the months of May to October. Would those who object to taking advantage of the carlier-rising out against changing the hours of working in those months so that advantage might be taken of the hours before 9 a. m. when the rain was not apt to \ral ? The argument sounds childish, but i tempted to use childish ex- amples in trying to convince ‘people who seriously declare that because we have used an hour of darkness to sleep in the winter, we must keep on using that hour for sleeping purposes even though the sunlight is streaming in at the window. It is nonsense to declare that any- one loses any sleep because of day- light saving time. No sleep is lost by anyone. The sleeping hours are mere- People who are as reg- ular as the clock which they refer to as the mouthpiece of the Deity could continue to be just as regular —and would find an hour of bright- ness in their day if they are looking for brightness. Only hatred of “change” inspires the fight against the general use of daylight saving time. If the world had relied upon those people who hate any ‘“change” it would be a backward, slovenly world today—a world lighted by candle-light at night and traveling by stage-coach, or worse, by day. The world' refuses to waste time and opportunity any long- eg. we lived in a sun cry one Iy advanced. Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN, Life is just a slow and painful process of getting out of trouble. A philanthropist is a man who takes it from one sct of people and gives it to another.

If the cashier is speculating, and the market drops 200 points, how much will the depositors get? If an alien cusses the country, that's Bolshevism. If a native does it, that's political leadership.

Poincare with the greatest re- luctance: It was widely commented that when he left the conference he appeared quite nervous and irritable and that M. Jaspar, the Belgian foreign min- ister, who usually is very calm," was red faced and quite cxcited. Securitics Discussed, The subjects of security for France and Belgium and the future condj- tions to be laid down for Germany were not mentioned in the com- munique, but it fs known they were discussed, the Belgians insisting par- ticularly that at the proper moment all the allies should be brought into the conference. They made it plain that they wanted both security and reparations, but they insisted upon remaining strictly within the treaty of Versailles. Fear British Opinion. | The Belgians point out that thayl did not wish to do anything to offend Great Britain as they were ébliged to look to England for protection as well as to I'rance. The Belgians sald the whole situation shouid be frankly laid before the allies as soon as Ger- many acknowledged defeat in the Ruhr, and' they insisted also, it is said, that the allies and the United States should be informed that the Anglo- American refusal to ratify the guar- antee treaty negotiated at Versallles at the same time as the German peace treaty had created a new situation and that the French and Belgians were bound to consider the question of their security An this new light.

Laignelot, command- ing the district, it was announced to- day, that in the event any further I‘rench troops are assassinated or am- bushed the burgomaster of Buer who is held as a hostage, together with tour other town officials, would be shot at once as a measure of retaiia- tion, Seize Coke Plant The civil mission of engineers, headed by M. Coste, French inspector general of the mines, which came into the Ruhr to exact coal reparations from the industrialists has begun realization of its plans.
