And Connecticut is the “tail ender” in the matter of recruits for the army, according to this office, Col. Ode C. Nichols who has been in the service since 1808. Connecticut last among the state! Our state the most laggard in furnishing men to stand ready to defend our country if need comes! Consider this statement of Col. Nichols’: “The army has been cut by recent legislation to the very mini-} mum; then, since that time, and due to natural causes, it has lost thou- sands of its personnel until now it is thousands of men short * * * How casy it would be if each citizen who reads this would, within the week, speak to some young man and send him to our recruiting office!” Not long ago word came to this city that forty men must be secured with- in a very short time for a machine gun company. It was needed. The word came to New Britain. The men came forward as, it is to be hoped, men will come forward from New Britain when a call comes. is always such people, men, women and children, will co-operate with this representa- tive of the army and urge men to join the colors. * We confident that the men of this city will do their share to bring Connecticut ovt of its ignominious position as the most backward of the states to offer to help defend the country from possible enemies. are GARAGE COMMISSION The municipal garage has come to stay, not because of its present shOW-| ;.00 o6 men in the country has not| ting down to wish for fame. | harmed it already son finances, must be above-hoard would be one of the best things that may be said about it. staged the other night, has a signifi- cance which shadow of the elms., all like the food but that is not the important point. ¢ where they eat, but they do not com- bine to present spectacular demonstra- tions; tables, throw food about and march they either leave or they make use of their right to personal protests, murmured by so ions that it is becoming a ous. rumble to be broad enough, W stand. ing the country against with personal liberty.

Paternalism in the 1w Trite and true is “the outsider often 1022 and, therefore, it comes withinisecs most of the game,” When states ments are made concerning condi- tions here in New Britain, they are | somotimes discounted unless they are opinions of people living right here, It iy perfectiy true that a person Il\-! ing familiar with conditions | here, s in a better position to find out | “how things are” in this city in cers | tain partienlars than is someone living | ut a distance who relies upofl reports, But the trouble is that the honest | opinlon has the time and ability to make a survey of conditions is kilown, Those who do know just “how things may be influenced either not to make public their opinions, or to shade those opinlons, unconscious- Iy perhaps, by their own interests. I"or that and because its business is to look into the facts, the | statements concerning conditions here | coming from the U, 8, servicen department of labor, aind re- ported the pondent of The Herald, may be said to be impartial and thoroughly relia- ble. It therefore, to note from his source, the information that all plants are operating ecither full time or overtime; that there is a shortage of female labor only; that the building program provides for a great number of workers and that the housing conditions are adequate. These statements may be taken as true, despite individual cases which seem to contradict them, A dozen men may dispute some of them, but they are only a dozen and they, or some of them, may have reasons for so do- ing. The truth is that the city is pros-’ perous and busy and optimistic, as New DBritain is normally.

Again it is pertinent to remark that approving the suggestion of a man or a board does not mean necessarily approval in all things of that man or that board, as it does not, of course, mean disapproval. The point is the suggestion and nothing else. As the case of a salary com- mission, favored by this some rrangement should whereby the knowledge and informa- tion once gained by the body handiing salary matters or municipal garage matters, should be perpetuated. This is the best way of avoiding making the same mistake twice. Perpetuation of such information experience could come by the establishment of a continuing commission, that is, by the overlapping of the terms of its members there would always be some members who would be in possession of facts brought out before the com- mission. The first appointments should be made for a term of one year for half the members, two years for the rest. When new appointments are made, therefore, there would remain on the commission certain members holding over from the last adminis- tration. The matter of and the matter of the management of the municipal garage are two continually | vexing problems which a commission better than a new committee chang- ing with each administration, could | handle wisely. | in newspaper, be made and salaries “DRY" LEAGUE STATUS Honest and wise members of gympathizers with the Anti-Saloon Tieague will find no fault with the de- cislon of Justice Staley of the New | York Supreme Court, that tle league is a political organization and must file with the Secretary of New York State a detailed statement of its re- - ceipts and uxpgnd\luron as provided by the corrupt practices act of that] stato.
