 euliar predicament and can only be tounted for on the theory of a lack money Funds are indispensable politics no matter how clean may the campaign. The shouters will |t shout unless the war chest is full |d they know who has the key. Sere have been cases where the lends of a candidate have con- |scended to help for friendships Ike but even then there is an ab- hce of that brand of enthusiasm hich comes from money judiciously stributed among those who talk |td and long.

The fact that the city is seriously considering providing employment for men who are out of work is indicative of the interest municipalities are talk ing in their citizens. People often times stop on the street to listen to d socialist orator and deride his argu- ment, but they do not stop to think that the ideas expressed are often put into practice by men who regard socia lism in it's true sense as some thing to be dreaded. New Britain now has a municipal water works. municipal ice and it's street and sewer work are performed by the city. These things are not new Once in d while it is necessary to have sewer built by contract in erder to expedite matters and to have a street maca- damized or paved under similar con ditions. but while the amount of work Cone this way is growing smaller every year it will disappear altogether when the city ascertains just what kind of pavement it prefers to all others and can provide a plant with which to do the work that Is now done by contract
 When the appropriations were being made up this year the board of finance allowed the board of public works a large sum and if an effort Is made to obtain another appropriation tho members may not feel like voting for 1t on the ground that a sufficient sum was given in the first place. The argument that is being offered for further appropriation sounds sensible enough provided that the city is ready and willing to stand for one-half or three quarters of a mill on the tax rate. There may be objection at a city meeting to the raising of the tax and a debate precipitated that might disturb the equanimity of the admins tration. Just how much New Britain should spend in year on streets, in-
 dependent of permanent pavement,
 may be a question but it seems as If a
 hundred thousand dollars might reasonably be considered a sufficient sum. The present tax rate is sixteen ard a half mills and an appropriation Cf say $25.000 more, not to mention $5o,00o, will increase it to approxi- mately seventeen mills which is a rather. high figure, if it is to be col lccted this year. This feature how ever, has not been discussed but 1t will be if the proposed appropriation is asked for. There is some evidence that Mayor Quigleys first year in office will not be remarkable for any great progress in general. Reports are being made from time to time of friction which ought not to be and which must necessarily be to the dis advantage of some officials no mat ter how hard they work or how care fully they apply themselves to it. If the tax should be increased it is hound to cause dssatisfa ction and if there should be another appropriation made for street work now and a cut ir 1t next year that too will arouse a feeling which the city can Nery we'll do without. A tax that might be laid row would probably not be made col
 lcctable until next July but in the meantime the city would have to bor-

There has been at least one inn
 provement made this year for which
 the street department is to be com
 mended. and that is the repairing of the outside streets, which has result
 ed m the opening up of new streets, the placing of building lots on tine market and giving an opportunity to
 people to acquire home without helnS compelled to pay as much for a site Tor house as land and building should cost. A considerable sum must have been expended on those improvements, as grades have been changed, sidewalks have been laid out and the roadway plac aced in an invit- ing condition. It is on the outskirts now that the city must depend for it's growth and if young people are to
 be provided with homes the city must do it's part in making the new sections attractive. It is understood that a large tract of land now used for farming purposes close to the center Is soon to be opened for build
 ing purposes and within q year or two New Britain will probably ex- perience a building boom such as it has never had before. The neces- sity for such action has become an old story. but it grows more impor- tant each year. This boom might have been given q greater impetus this year If 1t were not for the Euro pean war, which has had a depress- ing effect upon the factory business, but that will probably soon pass away and the quiet of the present will be turned into activity in the future. It was only couple of weeks ago that Chairman Burckhardt of the board of assessors remarked that he had mo- ticed in going about inspecting prop erty that there are many new houses being erected, more than he expect ed, so that there is some evidence of approaching bigger building opera tions Trolley extensions are neces- sary to the opening up of new ter ritory, so that people may have an opportunity to get to and from their work in the factories. There used to be some talk of a reduced trolley fare, but that seems to have com pIetely subsided. Where the thing has been tried, as in Cleveland for instance it has been unsuccessful and in it's place has come a system Of transfers by which an extra penny is charged for each time q change is made and this arrangement is said to be working out successfully. There are many indications that New Brit ain will have a wonderful growth dur ing the next few years, and it is pleasant to see that the city is paw ing the way for it. There is need, therefore of care in the expenditure of public money, so that prospective builders may feel encouraged to go ahead with providing themselves with homes and adding to the generai

compensation act. the repeal of the limit of damages law. or the passage of an honest public utilities commis- sion law
 Again Governor Baldwin could send out an interview defending the Now Haven management when that management was at. it's worst. he could say in that interview that "all ronnecticut was behind that manage ment." and vet al the same time he could veto an honest effort to get f,iI weight bread law on the statute books.
 or course the governor has elements of strength because there have been many republicans who believed in fooling the people all the time. and the majority of democrats have lent themselves 10 assisting fin the fooling.
 But despite these contradictions in there might be a Bald win and Mahan combination in the belief that both would lend strength to the ticket.
 Whether that belief is well founded only the votes would tell Governor has been singularlN favored by fate in both his campaigns. Con gressman Mahans bold attitude has helped him. but he. too, was favored by the rcinarlla ble political situation in 1912.
 If they were to go on the ticket az outlined. surely the old observation that politics makes strange bed- fellows" would lind firm support. and If they were both elected, the political situation would then indeed be strangely awry.

Mysteries of d Professor. (HartfOrd TimeS.)

Professor Fisher is unquestionably very efficient as an agtator. lie can discover defects and get other people mad about them as ably as any man We know Not infrequently the de- fleets exist, their results are evil and Professor Fisher performs pub lie service in arousing his fellow cit izens for their remedy. But agita- tion to be convincing demands frankness and the continuance of confidence that the agitator Is per sonally disinterested
 Upon the platform Professor Fish CT Is usually blunt. He often calls spades by their technical names with an admirable disregard of what the effect may be upon his personal fortunes However, since the pro- fession of his ambition to become governor of Connecticut. he seems to have sacrificed something of that de- sire for completeness which once lent power to his utterance.
 Professor Fishers recent. speeches have been awesome in their pro- foundly mysterious allusions to great evils which exist in Connecticut, the details of which are known to him, the correction of which lies within his power and purpose eff elected governor). but the nature of which he has not yet made public. Some thing is rotten In the state. Profes- sor Fisher smells it. But he reso- lutely preserves the nostrils of the proletariat from the scent. As far as we are able to understand him, he intends that the electorate shall ;,- h,,f shall know neither the form of the menace, nor the way of It's elimina- ton, until he is personally selected as the eliminator.
 We have heard Professor Fishers criticism of the state psychological system and it's forms of taxations. We have heard also his very gen eral and vague charges of corporate domination. And finally we have heard his proud assertion that he and John Gunshanan have some thing up their sleeve. We even be- lieve that we know the contents of Mir Gunshanan's sleeve. If we are not mistaken 1t consists of allega- tions against the tuberculosis com- mission allegations which he was given every opportunity to press and substantiate last winter. The other terrible things we don't know.
 But the point, is here. If Profess sor Fisher knows of so much that is dangerous to the peace and progress of Connecticut. is 1t not his duty as a conscientious citizen to make his knowledge public right here and now for the benefit of his fellow cit- izens and not conceal it for possible use to his great personal advantage when his fight to gratify his ambi- ton becomes hotter and of an issue more doubtful?

 While no less an authority than Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan pre- diets that the most decisive strokes in the general European warfare will be delivered upon the sea rather than upon the land, there are many who regard Germanys land campaign against France as the real crux of the situation. Still others maintain that it is in Russia, rather than France, that the principal scenes of the War drama will be enacted. There .are many who think that the great battle which is evidently soon to be fought between the Germans and French will have much to do in bringing about some terms of settlement.

TOWN TALK.
Y (

! hauSted and there is "~~---- some talk of calling
 a city meeting and appropriating s25,- GOO or $5O.00O more so that certain work can be completed and employ | lnent given to men who are at pres ent out of work. A similar condition 1 arose during the administration of Mayor Walsh s1'- twenty odd years
 ago when 8 like appropriation was
 made for the purpose of building | sewers. Times were hard. much more so than they are now. and there were
 many idle men in the city The same argument was offered as is now being offered by Mayor Quisley that it would b" much better to make public inn provements and pay men for their labor than it would to have them be- come public charges, the city paying for the support of themselves and their families while they were out of work. Whether the argument was
 sound or not the city meeting au- thorized the appropriation but when the meeting was over it was found that the banks were unwilling to loan so much money on account of the
 rlarket and 1t was impossible to sell
 any bonds The, sewer commission
 CTS announced that the city would pay
 "iX per cent. on temporary loans.
 " hich was more than the banks were
 paying and people who had money on
 deposit withdrew their savings, loaned
 it to the city and the sewers were
 built. peculiar feature of the
 transa ction was that when at least
 two persons went for the money the
 bank handed 1t out in silver dollars.

 to carry and requiring team to . transport it to place where it could
 be paid out to the man who had
 earned the money. At the end of six
 months the money market improved
 so that $5o.OoO in sewer bonds were
 issued and the six per cent loans were
 paid off. Some of the bonds were sold
 at par but the last lot brought a
 premium. This undertaking brought
 into the service a number of men who had never done any outside work
 in their lives and 1t is doubtful if the sewer work was performed as cheaply as when it was done by the men who
 had been regularly engaged at 1t. The
 city paid S175 per day and a very large number were given employment. What would have been done had no appropriation been made Is of course difficult to say, but there is no doubt hut that many families were saved
 from serious financial conditions. The demand. however. for assistance from the city at present Is not by any means as pressing as it was during the hard times of twenty odd years ago. Superintendent Hart of the charity department says that the ap- plicants for aid have not materially increased of late. in fact he says that there have been but two applica- tions received which does not show any particular reason for extra ordi
 mary action on the part of the city.
 An extra appropriation for streets now is liable to result in small appro-
 priation next year unless the admins- tration is willing to boost up the tax rate.
