This fiew code got lost in the shuffle, “probably the shuffle in connection with the late electioneering. Now it Berlin were part of New Britain it would have the services of this elty’s building commission and would not need a separate code; in other words, good service without any oth- er extra expense. TMBROVING AN ANCIENT PILE is learned definitely At last it that fhe New York, New Haven and | Hartford railroad is to “improve” the venerable railroad station in New Britain, the improvements to consist of relocating the ticket of- fice and the construction of more sanitary arrangements.

The department in this paper devoted to refercnces to the| news highlights of that time right- ly belongs to the most interesting in these columns, particularly to those whose remembrances of New Britain extend to that time when the new century was scarcely a vear old. A story in the Herald of 25 years ago had to do with bicycle races at White Oak park. Crowds of people, it seems, flocked to the resort, and those not Interested in bicycle races| had much else to occupy thelr atten- tion. There were even bears in cages and peacocks on the grounds. White Oak park at that time had | enormous popularity, relatively speaking, netting a handsome profit | for the street rallway company, | which was used by almost everybody to reach the happy wooded grounds about half the distance to Plainville. Only those who rode bicycles saved the nickles necessary to get there, not overlooking those who walked. | Lake Compounce as it is today, is a small potato compared wWith what White Oak park used to be. At the present time there may be some youngsters fn the city who never heard of White Oak park. If so, their elders, or the older citizens | | generally, can tell them all they | | need to know. It was a grand old place—for some years. Its ultimate decadence was due to a variety of | causes, and to many it became en- tirely too popular. The street railway | | company finaily discontinued service |and the park went into the oblivion | | ot discarded things. Originally own- | |ea by Jobn Cooke of Plainville, the | | park was ultimately obtained by the | | street car company, which still owns | the land. | The pond alongside Which the | park nestled is still there, such as it | is. The same large white oaks are | present, the identical slopes along | | which children, grown-ups and lov- ers browsed are still there. But it would take the skill of an explorer to locate the sites of the various amusement and sport enterprises of that bygone day, although it could be done most handily by anyone familar with the park as it was 25 | years ago. Nearby was Electric park, | | where baseball and other sports at- tracted thousands. To this day the contiguous terrain | remains attractive, mainly by dint of the pond and the slopes. It Is a paradise for hikers, except those who prefer to do their hiking further afield. At the time White Oak park was | in its prime the fine site occupied | was a subject for frequent comment. | Today the site is still there, but the | Suburban dwellers are cavily wooded | park is not. slowly spreading out in that direc- | tion but they will take a long time | to reach the pond and the woods., It remains to be scen whether this pretty spot will be allowed to dis- | appear with the advent of hahifzhl tions, whether it will become a site | for a strect car barn or some such unsightly affair, or whether in the | dim future a city or state park will eventuate. It would be a park for the next generation, no doubt—and | one with water for bathing and | canoeing in summer and skating in | winter. This oportunity is right at {the door of New Britain. One won- | ders whether it will be seized be- | fore too late. PRINCETON DS THE “BIG THREE” The colorful “Big Three” has ex- isted since 1877, when otlight was upon it every autumn | through the athletic ball excitement. Now, action of the Princeton board, such relations are broken off with Harvard. The consensus appears to be that | the rebuke inflicted by Princeton | against Harvard is well taken. The | eregit the sport | during the annual period of “"”"J ing board, something that friends of the governor say he Is unlikely to do. The Massachusetts Supreme court, finding there has been no er- ror, and denying the appeal for a new trial, has set its face firmly against any technicality that might weaken the law. Three men will, if the case now goes to its logical conclusion, give up thelr lives for the murder of one person. This, of course, is nothing unusual. It is the law, and is a just law, and should act as a deterrent to the commission of similar crimes. It says In effect, “if one is guilty, all are guilty.” The three youths went armed and were prepared to shoot when they entered the carbarn, although pos- sibly preferring to attain their ob- jective without pulling a trigger. When the watchman was met with, one of them, perhaps unnecessarily, shot him dead. When this act was committed perhaps the two com- panions of the killer did not think it necessary to g0 to such ex- | treme measures but did not have sufficient time to stay the hand of the other. The law holds all three equally guilty, The deafence that the actual killer was insane at the time he fired the shot made a poor impres- I'sion with the high court, which [ bluntly said such claims cannot be en the guilty."” fuller has the power to initiate the pardon ma- chinery and place it before the pardoning board. A governor should not be loaded with such responsi- bility. On the one hand he is told the law must be tightened against the depredations of criminals; on the other hand he is importuned | not to permit at least two youths, “who did not intend to shoot,” to g0 to the electric chair. was made to ‘s Governor sole NON-POLITICAL REDUCTION With all statesmen and politicians perking eagle eyes toward the 1928 and its presidential nominations, it is doubtful whether | non-political, nonpartisan tax reduc- tion is possible at this time. President Coolidge, in announcing his latest pronunciamento has| given it as his opinion that politics should not be considered in connec- tion therewith. He may be sincere about it; but the wish is not likely to have excessive standing in Con- gress. The last tax reduction was some- what nonpartisan, although Presi- dent Coolidge gets the it is mentioned. The coming tax reduction will not be somewhat nonpartisan. The Democrats and Insurgents are not likely to permit any campaign ma- terial to develop between now and the next presidential tornado with- out emphasizing its nature. The President may want non- partisan tax reduction and may get some kind of reduction; but as ev knows, the Republican spellbinders and poli- ticians generally will not hesitate to make claims thereafter nothing in common partisanship.

No doubt, the management of the Burritt has considered itselt with having sufficient cause to ban ruch affairs. Possibly the management Was never young and never exper- lenced “frat” affairs, mever strayed from the formality of a formal dance and never realized the present state of age. Being, through no fault of my own, a small (very small) stocks holder in the hotel, I feel as though I had some sort of right to voics my opinion in anything but an of- fensive marmer. The one place in this city that is “esirable and should be available to the students of the local high school, is closed to their affairs. Just -because one or more may have overstepped the bounds of hotel etiquette—just because a few, compared with the majority, have acted bolsterously ar ' have allowed their spirit to boil over—spirit for school, for their fraternity and pos- sibly for their good time. Their actions have caused the entire fra- ternal membership to be judged ac- cordingly, which is far from correct. The management of our hotel may be assuming the right attitude in barring local High school affairs and it may not, but it seems to me (and I am not in the minority) that the decision came at an inopportune time and was sort of hasty.

Spreckles said that his move was in reprisal for the opposition of Tiajuana interests to the California racing measure. In a recent cam- paign speech the millionaire sports- man said that the Mexican resort had subscribed $5,000 to the fund of those opposing the racing meas- ures. Racing starts at Tiajuana the latter part of this month.
