One Value of PIattsburg.

The average everyday American citi
zen knows very little about the army
and its organization, its work and III
personnel. Multiply the average Amer
lean citizen by several millions and the
result is profound ignorance of the
military condition of the country as il
is and Of its military capabilities under
intelligent development. The army leads
life apart from the masses of Ameri-
cans. When it is at its maximum
strength, 100000, it is only little group
in our population of more than one hun.
bred millions. 1t seldom comes in con-
tact in the course of its duty with civil
ians There are large garrisons, compar-
atively speaking, in our cities and the
social relations established rub of some
of the urban ignorance concerning our
soldiers, but taken as whole the army
goes its way, the public goes its way,
and other lines Of activity seldom inter
sect. Herein we differ from all the other
great powers. They have either the con
scription system, which gives almost
every family representative in the
ranks, or, as in the case of Great Brit
ain, maintain establishments which with
their auxiliaries for connecting link be-
tween the masses and the soldiers.
Considering that for all the soldier
gets in this country in the way OF pro.
fessional development he is dependent
upon the understanding of the average
citizen, we may look upon the Platts-
burg experiment as full of promise for
beth the army and the civilian public.
The hundreds of business men who have
returned from Plattsburg are enthusi-
astie in their praise of the army Off
GERS under whose instruction they were.
They have come to know officers for
what they are. The business men find
the officers full Of zeal, industry and pro-
5essional knowledge. Any preconceived
notice expressed by the old-time term
soldering" as the synonym for gor-
geously clad idling have disappeared un-
der these four weeks of military tuition.
Hundreds of men well qualified for light
and leading will hereafter be willing to |
second the efforts of officers OF the army |
to put flesh and muscle around the skel- |
cton of our military organization.
Business men will realize from the !
ordeaIs through which they have passed |
that the making OF soldier is depend |
ent on something more than hurry or
iers. They will see that the modern
soldier is very different man and must /

Steering BOARD !.
Thing OF THE PAST
Mayors Vote Breaks Tie, Ruling it
Out Of Existence

With the stage all set, the curtain
was rung down on Councilman Cur
tis's committee. on rules and legis-
lation at the August meeting of the
common council last night. After
a session of intense excitment, the
climax to an evening Of surprises are
furnished in a resolution signed by
Alderman Jester and Councilman An
derson and Pohlma. 1t resolved the
committee on rules and legislation, or
it is referred to by it's common or gar
den variety Of NAME" the steering
committee into oblivion.
In explaining the resolution, AL
derman Jester said many members
of the committee had lost interest and
that the committee had not accom-
plished its main purpose-shortenin
the meetings of the council. On top
Of that, he said, it was an extra eX-
pense, this being caused by printing
the results of its meetings for pre-
sentation to the council a week later
Councilman Curtis, the father Of
the committee, replied that he would
not oppose the aholishment of the
be a mistake not to have the council
business printed beforehand for per.
usal by the members. He said the
expense is only SO or 81 more per
meeting than last year when the fin
ance report alone was printed.
The prolongation of the meetings
is due to matters other than the re-
port of the committee on rules and
legislation" he remarked with
sly grin. However, it is not neces-
sary to have u committee. Let the
city clerk edit the business of the
council and also have charge of the
printing of that business beforehand
He offered the amendment, that
the printing of forthcoming business
be left in the hands of the city clerk
Council in Ridiculous Position.
The council is putting itself in a
ridiculous position" said Councilman
Landers. Here we have organized a

the business printed beforehand and
think the committee will prove It's
value more and more as we go along.

the amendment"
Alderman Jester referred to the
last meeting of the committee when,
he said, only the chairman was pres
ent
"You know where they were, don't
you? asked Councilman Curtis.

the railroad committee or the council
was authorized to consider making a
complaint to the public utilities COM
mission with the end in view Of hav-
ing the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company enjoined
from using its tracks over Whiting
street for the purpose of switching
freight cars as said crossing is rem
dcred exceedingly dangerous and in
convenient to public travel by reason
f such switching
The committee on supplies ana
printing was authorized to purchase
a typewriter for the city clerk at a
cost not to exceed $50.
Change Name of Park,
The petition for the cnange in
name of Walnut Hill park to Erwin
park caused no little discussion. The
petition was from the Foremen's club
OF Russell & Erwin's, 1t was signed
by A. L. Andrus, J. M. Ryan, William
Coney, William Burkarth, c. J.
Parker and Isaac D. Russell.
Points in the argument why the
name should be changed in the
opinion of the petitioners We're: In
l recognition of the gifts for public and
quasi public uses made to New Britain
by Cornelius B. Erwin; the part Mr..
Erwin played in making Walnut Hill
park possible, and the ract that Wal
nut Hill signifies nothing and pre-
serves no cherished tradition.
On motion of Alderman Parker it
was voted to have appointed COM
mittee Of seven by the mayor to
consider the matter. The corporation
counsel is to be one member and the
petitioners are to have representation.
This committee is to report at the
next meeting.
Civil Service Rules.
The civil service commission re-
ported investigating conditions in
ether cities in regard to the fire and
police departments and having drawn
UP a set of rules governing eligibility
to these departments. The commits
sion favored the model of New
