mit unquestioningly to the statements and commands of parents and who, in turn, belleve they, the parents, should submit humbly to the decision of law- makers without attempting to show them thelr error, Granted that disregard of law is agsuming menacing proportions, and that the meed of law-observange should be emphasized, it occurs that were the lawmakers themselves to feel a bit of that “divine dlscontent” with themselves and were they will- ing to see all sides of a question real- izing that they might well be at fault, there would be fewer unwise laws and, consequently less disregard of the law. Probably there Is no greater menace to the country than that class of complalsant individuals who be- lieve in unquestioning agreement with others in all things. The spirit of im- provement and a desire to change conditions if an improvement may be made is the spirit that keeps the land alive and progressing along with the rest of the world. The need is to find out first if we are in the wrong chan- nel and if we are then to get out of it into the proper course., The stand- patters of ‘the world threaten it even more than do the radicals who pos- sess smug respectability upon which they may rely to give author- ity to their words. We need that divine discontent, but we need to keep It a dlscontent that is truly divine, This situation has a direct bearing upon the other figures—the number of births, Although these figures do not prove it to be true there can be no question but that the more chil- dren born into the world the mere in- fant deaths there will be. Children members of large families recelve less attention, eliminating the matter of the character of the parents, than do those in small families, It would seem that efforts should be directed toward the lessening ‘of “the infant nfortality rate, as Jnany organizations are doing, rather than toward spread- avoring an ever-in- New Britain Herald HERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY (Tasued Dally, Bunday Excepted) At Herald Bldg, €7 Church Btreet, 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) o e ) 6 Louls Anderson and Oscar Moberg have gone to Brooklyn to spend their vacation with friends in that city, The necessity of some kind of a slgn at the corner of Main, South Main and Elm streets is apparent on such a day as July 4,. Not only wheelmen but people in carriages have to inquire their way to Berlin. An ordnary street sign is there, but a sign directing the way to Berlin 1s what is wanted.

The most common excuse landlords make for increasing the rentals on their tenements is that taxes have been increased and: rents must go up to meet this increased ex- pense. No reasonable fault ean be found with this adjustment of rents provided the increase of rentals keeps even pace with the increase of taxes. But in the majority of cases where rents have been raised to overcome high taxes the increase of rentals is larger than is nece: and the raising of the tax rate instead of be- ing an increased burden to the land- lord is as Ily putting money into his pocket: 'ake an illustrative case.

Anyone who has read the report of the Joint New Ingland Rallroad Committee will agree with Governor Templeton that the committee *‘has done a most valyable work for New England since it has marshalled facts as they have never been marshalled before.” This is a conservative com-' pliment from the executive of a con- servative state. When a man is sick a diagnosis is advisable. When a section of the country is sick, it is likewise advis- able to consider all symptoms in their relation to each other. This is what the committee has done. It has con-| centrated its attention on the alarming symptoms, the rallroad situ- Member of The Assorfated Press.

For some reason the thought of golfers, despalring and hopeful, play- ing in a tournament for the benefit of the Fresh Air fund for the children, brings a pleasant smile. The chil- dren, planning to go to the camp, are looking forward to ‘“the time of their lives.” The sald golfers, always Op- timistic before they begin their round, are looking forward to the “time of their lives.” They hope and expect fully ‘to break all their own past rec- ords; they smils in anticipation. They are quite as much children in thelr eagerness as are those little ones who have enjoyed, are enjoying and those who hope to enjoy the pleasures of the Fresh Alr camp. In arranging agaln for the Fresh Aid Golf Tournament at the Shuttle Meadow club this newspaper realizes that it is seeking to advance the in- terests of the children in the way that will be most acceptable to those whose funds will give that help. Probahly most of the habitual golfers of the club will enter gladly, merely adding a new atmosphere of pleasure to their usual round by knowledge of the fact that their entrance fee and their no We have no old, undesirable merchandise to dispose of.

The courtesy of the authorities of the Shuttle Meadow club in allowing the use of its links for this tourna- ment is much appreciated by this newspaper and, undoubtedly by all who have the welfare and happiness of the less fortunate children of the city at heart.

Reasonable statement, easily ima- gined: "My friend Tom is a good spender whenever I've got it.” A lot of great men of the past probably only seemed great by con- trast with their fool constituents. As a rule, the summer manners of the ice man are just as irratating as the winter manners of tahe coal man. Even if somebody should take nec- essarry time to learn all the fool laws, somebody would arrest him for va- grancy. Unfortunately, the only people who know what's the matter with the movies never verify their findings by attending. If you didn’t begin planning your summer vacation till now, you won't have time to change your mind more than five or six tim the entire property. If the two rents of this house should share equally in meeting this §15 increase, each ten- ant's share would be $7.50 per year. Now suppose the landlord on the plea of high taxes should raise the rent say by three dollars per month, or six dollars for the two rents he would get an increase of $72 per year, or more than fifty dollars more than is needed to pay the increase of his taxes. So it is plain that the in- crease of taxes instead of being a financial burden to the landlord has been, to him, a profitable affair. If landlords would only increase rentals sufficiently to cover increased taxa- tion few, if any, would find fault, but | to increase rents beyond this limit is gross injustice to the tenant.
