Everyone who heard tane talk of Tlaviel Shurtleff, secretary of the Na- tional Zoning commission last night in the council chambers could hard- ly have gone away without a clear insight and a picture of what a Use Zoning Ordinance should and would do for New Britain, His exposition of the procedure to obtain this law and the cost involved was most con- cise and clear. It seems to the three districts are stage of the city's population namely: A.—Residential. B.—Commercial. C.—Unrestricted. These three great divisions or zones, when it becomes time to allo- cate them on the map, a section of one here and a section of one there, will be the commission's greatest task. New Britain has the advantage writer that only necessary at this development and b P \There was apparently a lack of co- Facts and Fancies refuse to be fooled by an invitation in|would occupy a ringside seat instead |of being one of the principals. An analysis of Senator Johnson's |statement reveals nothing new. It is of the stercotyped kind, carefully pre- pared and phrased to catch votes. It brings before the mind a picture of a |smiling old man distributing lollypops ameong children. Senator Johnson de- | clares his opposition to the league of nations and all its subsidiaries in much the same manner as a convert flouts the Devil and all his works. He appeals to the radicalism of the west and mid-west where collarless and garterle saviors of the republie have stirred up animosity against any |association with foreign countries, | In the course of his statement, “Our timid, vaeil- positions de- relg whole at This time the de cision should be so clear, so definite and certain, that casuistry, no specious plew, no indirection can dis- tort it.” And the country has been luboring under the belief that this point had been settled definitely sev- eral years ago. Tf memory serves, a number of republican journals an- nounced after the defeat of Wilson that “foreign entanglements'” had been hanged, drawn and quartered and buried so deep that the idea would never be discussed again by intelli- gent men, But the ghost persists in stalking about at times, especially as the hour approaches for mational poli- tics to bloom, McAdoo declines to amplify a state. ment made in his behalf at Chicago by David L. Rockwell, who appears #s manager of the former secretary of the treasury. Whether MeAdoo will be acceptable to the democratic party remaine for the future to reveal He is the son-in-law of former Presi. lent Wilson and attachment to the Wilson dynasty is sufficient to throw a large number of democrats into an apoplectic rage. Mr. Rockwell says “that the whole country 1is ecalling loud for leadership is manifes With that, no one can disugree. But there are 5o many self appointed leaders who lead to no place in particular that the situation is becoming bore. ®Ome The Rockwell-McAdoo state- ment is notable chiefly for what it does not say than for what it does say. Secretary Mellon's pronouncement in favor of reducing taxes imposed on persons of moderate incomes, coming {on the eve of a national election, caves the mind open to the suspicion that its purpose is mainly political. The suspicion becomes stronger when dne reads the opinions of members of congress regarding it. Senator Smoot, | chairman of the finance committee of the senate, is frankly skeptical. He says: "It would take about one or two weeks to draft a bill which would carry out the secretary's suggestions, but what human being can tell how long it would take to pass it.

His retirement may be delayed as long as possible by the “machine” but inevitably it will be forthcoming. The republican party cannot risk its fortunes at the spring election and the wisest move it could make would be to clean house as early as possible. So certain are many republicans that Dehm will retire soon, that his successor as president pro-tem. of the council is already being discussed. The person whdse name is most fre- quently heard in connection with the position is Alderman Willlam H. Judd of the third ward. Judd is a “machine” man throygh and through. “rom the standpoint of being ‘“regu- He is | ¥ t fi £ he is an ideal selection. in close association with the guiding hand of the republican party and is in sympathy with whatever the “machine” proposes. It has occurred to the writer that the party leaders will think twice be- fore elevating Judd to the position of president pro-tem. Judd was re- |t sponsible for the recent council furore caused by the affront to Capt. Thomas |t J. Bannigan, who came to this city to speak in behalf of a rehabilitated ex- service man. It was Judd who virtu- ally prevented Capt. Bannigan from addressing the council. Whether the republican party would care to elevate him to the office of president pro-tem. of the council is a question that is causing some of the party leaders to stop and ponder, Many ex-service- men resented the affront to Captain Bannigan and they might still fur- ther resent the heaping of honors on the head of the man who was re. sponsible, L Within the past few weeks there has been discussion among servicemen of running a “soldier ticket” at the election next spring. It is difficult to understand where they would gain any advantage by so doing. The names of several ecandidates have already been suggested among them being an aspirant for the posi- tion of tax collector. That position is now held—and filled—by Bernadotte Loomis, whose stewardship has been | 1, a credit to the city. A survey of the records made by tax collectors throughout Connecticut, shows that Mr. Loomis has done his work well, business and, so far as is known to the writer, never plays politics or al- lows politics to enter into his admin. istration of the office Politicians mpst think first of the city's welfare, Unless they do this, they should be ridden ont of town on @& three-cornered rafl.. To think of supplanting Mr, Loomis is to put per- sonal ambition or partisanship ahead | of civic pride. Mr. Loomis has proved that he is the right man for the office, He should be renominated by the re. publican party, which should be proud of him, and endorsed by the demo- crats and all other parties in the fleld. L Chief Noble of the fire department called attention this week to a prac- tice which should be stopped at once ~the practice of racing fire depart- ment apparatus responding teo an alarm. If there is one time when firemen need to concentrate all their attention on their jobs, it is while they are on their way to a fire. De- partment drivers should not be ham- pered by grinning idiots running alongside and cutting in ahead of them. They should have a clear road ~their purpose being to reach the scene of the blaze in the shortest pos- sible time Fvery effort should be made to ap- prehend drivers of private automo- biles who try to “beat” the apparatus.
