Most people love their parents; 'most parents love their children. But |they do not go about praising par- !ents or children much as they would ilike to. They take it for granted Ipeople understand that they possess Ithis feeling. They do not parade it. Most New Britain people are fond '‘of this city. It has so many good ipoints that, to the loyal, those good polnts seem too obvious to emphasize. LOf course, they feel, New Britaln is a:good place to live in. Tt is New Britain, their home. Isn't that evi- “dence sufficient to show their appre- clation of it? How could anyone suppose they would live here if it Wwere not a splendid place to live in? There's the point. Too much is taken for granted. After our con- :servative habit we are too apt to be sllerit about the merits of the city The stranger the ecity, looking about for a place in which to start & new business instance, may walk about quietly, making casuahin- vestigation. He is impressed by the eity's advantages. He sees thousands of apparently contented people going to work or engaged in it. He marks to himself that it is seldom a manufacturing city has about it so much of the artistic. He goes to the top of Walnut Hill Park and looks over the roofs of the houses and the manufactories of the eity to the east, then far over the hills to the west He is hardly able to realize that he is in the center of a locality where the wheels are ever turning in the production of new wealth. And he notes the busy stores, with their fine displays of goods, chosen to | meet the ‘needs of so many different people. He sees a great market for his wares. His judgment tells New Britain is an ideal city in many ways. Now he meets a New Rritainite to whom he shows his enthusiasm. Per- haps the former does not care for the city because the city does not seare for him.. He “knocks' Sub- reonsclously he realizes the advan- ~ Jages of the city and he does not Prealize tha importance the stranger bmay attach to his unfounded and un- scomplimentary remark about New ~ +Britain. Sometimes it 1s & straw like this that works harm to this city of wours, driving away some peérson who . #would be a desirabie citizen, Every word said against our city| Ms a blow to it. Loud-shouting “boost- | ng” is not a thing to he desired. #But the cultivation of the habit of &Zlving the city credit being the Aine sort of municipality N is is to be .desired. If people all over the coun- #ry knew what an enthusiasm there is for our city among the worth while jpeople of it, the growth of New| Pritain and the prosperity of its peo- (ple would be immediate and great. No sense of modesty such that ! @which moves us in talking of those | tof our own blood we ,should prevent our standing up like men and telling the world of the ad- svantages of New Britain as a place to 3ive and work and prosper in. in for re- him as whom love JUDGE DAY, When an honest, consclentious public servant dies, taking from the world the advantages of those qual- 4ties that are so needed in this or| any other time, there comes a deep| regret impersonal though it may be. ‘Willlam R. a man, and | his death leaves another place to be filled by the sort of man for which | Day was such | ever, of gthe world is crying now more than ever before.

The present condition of affairs in regard to the manner in which auto- mobllfsts are held up on the road, at night and are sometimes shot at, is indeed a terrible situation. Per- hapa it is the most perplexing en- forcement problem in the whole mat- ter, for it is one that may trouble any peérson any night. You are driving along a highway | late at night. A man steps out into the road and warns you to stop. ‘What are you going to do? The man may be A member of the police foree in plain clothes, exerting one of his duties that the enforcement authorities have required. of him.| In such case you, being a law-abiding | person and guilty of no offense, may be perfeetly willing to stop and allow him to €earch your automobile, even though you disapprove of this method of law enforcement. The man, how- may be a criminal attempting to hold you up, rob and perhaps kill you if you make resistance, Are willing to submit? No matter how eager you may be to obey the law the situation created by the present methods of enforcement place you in constant danger. The affair near Malone, N. Y. state, where enforcement agents shot a girl while she was traveling with her father in an automobile is an example. The man did not dare to stop, fearing probably for his daughter. He drove on, The girl wag shot. Other instances nearer home have occurred where a shot wasg fired at a policeman. The man who fired that shot may have been disobeying the law, or he may have been excited and incapable of seeing that the officer was, in fact, a police- man. Moreover how wil we be able to tell whether or not every man| wearing a policeman’s uniform is a policeman? If this sort of thing continues how long will it be before highway robbers, hold-up men, will get uniforms resembling those of po- licemen, in order that they may be sure that a passing automobile will stop at their command and give them a chanee to rob the passen- | gers? | Anyone is honestly unable to give advice as to what course should be taken when he is ordered to halt his car. But there is on thing certain, | and it is declared with the fullest intent to advise obedience to the law. A person driving along the deserted highway at night should not be blamed if he refuses to halt at the command of some man stepping into | the road and ordering such halt. Carrying the matter a little farther| what may be sald in the case of a | woman forced to drive alone at night on the country highway? What man would tell his wife, under such! circumstances, that she must stop| and place herself in the hands of any man who orders her to do so? The situation cannot be allowed toJ exist as it is. This free country of onurs should be one where a person may drive on the highways at night without fearing that he may be com- | pelled either to break the law or run the risk of playing into the hands. of criminals. And let it be addéd, of course, that | no driver of an automobile who re- fuses to stop at a command of a per- | son not in uniform because he fears | such a person to be a hold-up man.: should fire at the other. There is no excuse for that, while there is pienty | of excuse for the driver of a car who | refuses to stop at the order of an)" stranger who steps into the road and orders a man to stop. And, con- versely, no enforcement agent should use firearms where there ger that the person threatened is not disobeying the law. - The manner of enforcement of the| liquor law has never been seen in such an awful light that now thrown upon it by the use of guns in connection with it. | is any dan- as A COMMITTEEMAN'S DUTY. | The like the business of a state or of the United is done in committee.

So they will be accused of the {individual present any evidence will be accused of any person whom with favorisg or disapproving any movement under discussion. Often fear that they wiil be accused of having some axe to grind, one way or the other. Committeemen should be witnesses before the whole committee, just as the committee’'s report is documen- tary evidence to be submitted to the final judge, the common or, in some cases, the meeting counetl to city [ board. After the committeemen have testified or given to their committee what information they have, the whole cominittee passes upon the matter, rejecting what seems un- founded, and basing their decision upon what seems right. 8o the com- mon council, or the meeting board, having heard the evidence and the arguments, should reject the evi- city | with the query, "Gotta match?” | Koran. dence ‘or arguments not backed up by facts, and decide on the best in- formation that has come out, Then the matter should cause no4ll feeling. Committeemen viewed in this light and doing the proper thing after all the evidence 1s in should not be eriti- clzed for approving or disapproving some move if they have merely played their proper parts in reporting what they believe to be the truth, or all the evidence they have on the | matter. This subject s ralsed because a member of the salary committée has objected to an increase in salary of a city employe. This neéwspaper holds no brief for or against the commit- teeman nor for or against the city | employe who asked for an increase in salary. This newspaper, however, does hold a brief for any member of any committee who reports to his committee any complaints against any city employe or any words of praise of him, or who gives his committee all the information he may have which may ténd to bring a greater knowledge of the situation to the committee so that it may make a wise deeision. If the reports in fa- vor of or against a city employe are groundless they should be disre- garded. The point to be emphasized is that the committeemen are the ones who should hear aill the evi- dence obtainable in régard to a mat- ter which the committee must decide, and no obliquy should attach to a member who reports the evidence in his possessior. “Speedy rum boat laughs at ghot, says a headline.
