The automobile driver has no rights whatever that the state can- not withhold. And there is no logical reason why the state should not be at much more pains than it has been in connection with drivers who abuse the liberal privileges granted by the state.

The officers were assisted by the man- ager, Theodore Dujik. The assessors report that only two persons in New Britain are raising poultry as a business. The raising of turkeys has almost disappeared, and a flock of them is a rare sight nowadays. A group of business men of both parties were dlscussing municipal | politics a few days ago in one of the city's public resorts. It appears that there is a growing sentiment for the nomination of George P. Spear for mayor, his activity as president of the Businessmen'’s association having made him many friends who believe him capapble of running city af- fairs.
