CITY COURT SYSTEM

HE CITY COURT system Of Connecticut is much in need
Of radical reform The system is political institution,
and reflects all the faults of practical politics.
The city court machine exercises potent and evil nflu
ence on legislation In every General Assembly there will be
score of lawyers whose purpose neither honor for
themselves to the state but the practical matter Of
bread and butter The who wants city court appoint
men is almost never free agent and these appointments
frequently held up pending proof of the good behavior of the
applicant Good behavior consists in obedience to the will Of
minority interested usually in special legislation.
Since job in the city court depends upon influence in the
General Assembly, the institution reacts by inducing members
of city courts to seek legislative office.
is amazing the city officials of Connecticut
who appear rpeate in the senate or house of
tatives
The personnel of the city courts always seeking office be-
always needing it, administer justice with eye poll
tics. This is bad.
The justice of the city court is not the largest justice but
it the closest to the people, and they of it. The
people form their judgments of the courts largely by what they
find in the city court board Of aldermen is not much differ
en than legislature legislature is very like congress. So
the ayman argues that the city court is like the court Of
pleas and that like the superior court and this like the
preme court
Neither courts judges high low, will be held in the
regard that should be theirs long the city court system
exists.
The Baby Doll case is but single example Here
apprehended thirteen times and nadequatey punished
often. Baby Doll was in politics. He was needed.
But when he into the of the higher courts his
political pull vanished
The city other faults that grow out of their
pocal origin Being purely bread and butter proposition
y have ethics and honor The city court judges practice
IN competition with their brother lawyers, who hold judi
ca office City court judges link up with other lawyers and
the prestige of the court swells the practice of the firm This
Ii unfair competition, well poor justice.
Immediately lawyer however humble, obtains city court
job he the position that he is very valuable fellow
who cannot afford to give his whole time to the state for the
stipend he receives
It thus happens that inferior lawyers wrapped in petty u-
dcal ermne otherwise connected with the administration
of petty justice, will by adding the income of public ob and
the income of undeserved practice have larger compensation
than the able experienced and high minded who usually
fill the place in the higher courts.
The city courts of Connecticut ought to be made part
the regular judicial establishment with tenure Of office during
good behavior and adequate to the service The
vice should quit the practice of law and devote themselves
rey to their public duties They should be appointed by the
but preferably by the judges of the court

SHUTTING OFF SALOONS

SHUTTING off Saloons the Bridgeport Pastors who
the main spring of the incentive which has
saloon keepers revise their hours have indirectly
COAL Have they not indirectly stimulated the sale of liquor
der conditions that noerabe than those presented
by the saloons? The drinking clubs will take the
trade the saloons lose They will sell Sundays and after hours
they do and they always have Why do the pastors
not insist upon the drinking clubs being choked off? To
the drinking clubs bulwars of the political system that
rules Bridgeport
The Times and Farmer distinguishes between clubs and
drinking clubs club institution in which the proceeds
of the sale of liquor actually for the of the club
the benefit of common expenditure drinking club is
place in which the profits from the sale of drink swell
income Of persons who actually retailers of
liquor for their profit
The Country club is real club 1t has closed its
Its bar
might be too much to ask all clubs their doors
1t would not be too much to ask the other clubs their
bars The regular clubs setting good and patriotic example to
the community would compel the suppression of the pretend

not.

time the rate of the new issue is be-
ing decided upon No merchant can
sell an article for 800 if the same
thing can be bought next door for
500 and in this case the government
is simply a merchant
Sc the first cheerful conclusion is
that if the new issue bears 4 per
cent rate your present bonds will be
selling close to par at tia same time.
Suppose though that market con-
ditions do not justify the attempt to
sell a per cent. bond at par. Then
the rate must be higher, say Az per
cent. or 4 Il per cent. But remember
that both the first and second Liberty
Bonds are convertible into this next
issue if it bears a higher rate. That
, being the case, the price of the old
bonds will, of course, march right up
to the price of the new ones If you
own piece of paper that is exchang-
able for piano that piece of paper
is of course, worth just as much as
the piano itself. And so it will be
with the old Liberty Bonds. They
may not sell quite at par because
there is a certain amount of bother
connected with converting but they
will sell mighty close to it
Cheerful thought No. 2 is. there
fore, that if the new bonds bear more
| than per cent. the old bonds are
going to sell at par or very near it
when the new ones come out
And cheerful thought No. 8 is that
this increase in price is going to take
| place soon because you remember
the first one of those certainties was
| that the next issue of Liberty Bonds
| is coming soon
| Do you see then why we gave this
lesson the title Anchored? Par is
a solid rock in the ocean of prices, or
| it is the safe home port, if you pre-
| fer. Your Liberty Bond boat may
drift little way from par as the diff
ferent currents and waves of the
market catch them. But they can't
go far because they are anchored
fast to that price by the convertible
privilege which they possess. And
every now and then Mr.. Government
takes hold of the anchor chain and
pulls the bonds back to the anchor
age place simply by issuing new
bonds.
Again, therefore, we say to you,
hold on to your Liberty Bonds. Don't
sell them. You are sure to get higher
prices for them some day and very
probably quite soon.

In accordance with recommends
tons made by the State Council of
Defense, the local war bureaus are
being linked up as closely as possible
with the local governments of their
communities. The Bridgeport bureau
has already asked the city Of Bridge
port to appropriate $4,000 for its work
and the Middletown bureau has taken
action along a similar line.
One of the first acts of the Manches-
ter war bureau was to hold a public
meeting at which the general aims of
the bureau were outlined and care
full explanation was given of the
methods of aiding and compromising
dependent relatives of soldiers and
sailors. The explanation included
description Of the government plan of
insurance and the work of the Amer
lean Red Cross along dependency
lines.
The Waterbury war bureau has
started active work and has estalb-
lished an Office which is to be open
daily from a. m. to p. m
The Windsor war bureau, one of the
pioneers of the State, has already
taken up work detailed to it by the
food and fuel administration and the
war savings committee as well as
matter brought to its attention
through other channels from the State
Council.
The war bureau of South Manches-
ter has called meeting of the gro
GERS of it's town and has talked over
with them the sugar situation and
means by which the situation can be
improved.
The Hartford war bureau has held
several meetings recently and has
been taking up plans for war rally
and such activities as distributing ser
vice flags and compiling lists of Hart
ford's soldiers and sailors.

Hartford, Jan. n.-War bureaus,
fully organized and ready to take up
scores Of local problems created by
the war, are rapidly springing up in
every part Of Connecticut. So far, 81
bureaus have completed their orga-
nization and have been appointed by
the Connecticut State Council of De-
Tense the official agencies of the State
of Connecticut for al war work in
their towns and cities. Nine or ten
others are in process of organization
and will be ready for action soon
Fairfield county towns and cities have
been the quickest to adopt the war
Fbureau idea, for Is of the 80 bureaus
already formed are in that county, but
nearly every other county in the
state has it's share of the new war
boards.

him. Infinitely flattering and sympathetic he to
Germany and her people, for he insisted that her
spokesmen should speak for the majority, refusing

way OF conferring sefgOvernment upon a subject peo

The Ironic Borah.

There is the flavor of George Harvey's mordant
lumor in Senator Borah's idea of pushing daylight
diplomacy" the point where treaties are to be con-
idered by the Senate in open session.
Evidently the Senator does not know-or perhaps
does know, proceeding in the funess of his know-
dge to his quaint quixoticism of logc-that it is not
wise to take President Wilson's postulates on any
iven subject too literally. Otherwise he would not
read into the Presidents address to Congress on
var aims much he did.
Open covenants Of peace diplomacy stripped of
ntrigues OF secret understandings international rela-
ions entirely in the open air. are the concept of the
President. Borah approves, and touched with IRONY
