The new Hipp theatre is indeed an
up-to date establishment in every re-

munity should congratulate Mr.. Lam
ming upon the enterprise shown. He
has erected this building at large
expense and is indeed deserving Of .
splendid support. Mr.. Lanning in

Theatre will prove to be a very popu-
lar place of Amusement.

CALL FOR CONGRESS-.

Hope for the rapid readjustment of the country is inspired by President Wilson's cablcd call for converting of Congress on May 19. q date earlier than had been anticipated, which came over the wires today. It pre- sages a resumption of industry, which has been virtually left to it's own de- vices since the signing of the armi- stice and which has bravcly faced the task of padding it's own canoe over the rapids.

will be largely reflected in the net, because the costs will not be cor : rcspondingly increased.
 Ut is believed that this improve mcnt will be considerably mphasizcd by reason of the fact that the ma in tcnance work has been carried for ward during the faVorabl weather of January, February and March on a i liberal basis despite Un faVora blc busi- ness. and this should be reflected in ! q saving in maintenance costs later in ! the year.
 "WhiIe passenger business for the three months was only slightly less than last year the loss in freight busi-
 ness was much more pronounced.
 'It is impossible on tho ba is of these three months to predict the TO- suits for the year as a whole. although 1 it is believed the results will he very much less unfavorable if as seems to be generally anticipated there shall be an important resumption of buSi- ness later in the year. especially if the great crops now in prospect shall he realized.

REpUBI!CNN DEPUTY SHERIFF

In the face of a petition from the
 Democratic Town Committee for the
 appointment of Democratic deputy
 shcrffs, County Sheriff Gahb has se-
 lcctcd ore Republican in New Britain,
 Mlron D. Stockwcll, and it is report
 pressed by partisan spirits at his
 choice. On the theory that the spells
 belong to the victor, Sheriff Gabb has not run true to political tradition and he may suffer in any future contest. On the other hand. he has been true l 10 the interests of the city and ! county.
 Deputy Sheriff Stockwcn is elf ! cient, painstallins and humane. He 1 proceeds about his business in a bus 1 iness-likc manner He does not ovcrdo his part and has shown respect for the l feelings of those whose property it has , been his duty to attach. He is a re | spcctcd citizen and is endowed with l the temperament his office demands. l InC lHCl lllttN ilt lS tt lNtp''pi'Cttii iS 'tti 1 that the critics of Sheriff Gabb can | hold against him. The county will not lose through his appointment. Be { cause of his experience he enjoys the confidence of the lawyers. with whom | he is continually thrown in contact. It 1 may have been poor politics for a I Democrat 10 appoint a Republican but l the general public will feel that the
 proper course was followed.

(NcW York Journal of CommCrccD What is to be done and should be done. with the largc but uncomplctcd cd plan of government Shipbuilding. in 'uRAtcd by the war demand that stop ped suddenly, is a puzzle difficult 10 solve and the efforts made arc quite conflicting. HurlcNS idea has become somewhat familiar. but is not alto Ecther clear. Nobody's can be, with
 any certainty of consequences if it
 should be carried out. This shipping
 board chairman would have some cX-
 lStlnG government contracts dispensed
 with at a. heavy loss, and a gradual
 transfer of vessels on new plans of construction passed to private owner Sh1p for what they arc worth He would retain government control un- til tho business got adjusted and well balanced, and profCSScS a faith that Inc whole business of building and of operating might then become so ad- justod as to make American shipping rival that of other nations without special government control or sup port.
 1 The director general of the cmcr- GcnrN fleet corporation. which is an agency of the board, got so completely out of agreement with Hurley in opin- ion as to what ought to be done, that 1 he threw up his place and has indulg- l cd in some free criticisms of inc l chairman $ policy. What PicH most ! llCNr"lN aSSailS is, not kCcninG up the
 construction of shipping on the scale 1 planned when the war was going on. He would have all the contracts car ried out and apparently the plans for . large merchant marine 10 be fully
 executed 10 meet any future cmcr- 1 gonCN. He seems to assume that the country and it's ocean trade are liable
 to be endangered in the samc way i a gain and should be prepared for it, | or at all events there should be l prepa ton to avert the danger, at whatever the cost. It is to be hoped
 that 1t will be aNertcd at much less
 cost by league to prevent anything 1 Of Inc kind.
 Another authority is quite out of agreement with both of these He would have contracts for further gov crnmCnt construction canceIcd and the vessels under construction and the
 yards disposed of to private builders
 of merchant tonnage. Then thcsc new
 owners should he free to make con-
 tracts for vessels with both domestic and foreign operators, and conduct thcir business in regular comDcti- l tive way. Ncss0lS remaining in gov Crnmcnt ownership would be charter cd to either foreign or domestic ODor-
 ators and might be finally disposed of

Women's ways in conference are nos worse than mcn's. But they are differ cnt, and being novel are noticed. Many women met in Mrs. Vincent Astor's picture gallery at the call of the New York City Consumers League. At one stage something in the proceedings Ied a woman to say, "I blush to ad- mt that l am an enrolled republican. Nlth all the fire of my nature l re- pudlate the actions of my party at AibanN.' Up roso another Woman' who cried out: II didn't suppose II was coming to a partisan meeting. But it seems to me lately that where ever l go, to a tea, or reception or d ball, partisan talk against the re- publican party begins right away. | believe it is insidious democratic pro- paganda" She was greeted with a storm of misses, which she said did not disturb her in the least, as she was a singer by profession and us>@ to it. This introduced the laugh which smoothed things over.

JUSTICE RECORONATED.

JUSTICE RECORON\TEiD.
 The imagination is staggered by the momcntous event staged today at Ncr- E saillcs when the cmissaries Of that once great empire known politically
 as Germany received from the hands
 of plcnipotcntiarics of Allied govern
 ments terms on which the latter arc
 willing to make peace. The scene, so
 impressive and so stupendous in sig nifcance, cannot be appreciated. It is too massive. too colossal, to be filmed the human mind at once. The arm that raised the bludgeon in the Au- tumn of 1914 has been paralyzcd to such an extent that it is all but life less. It has sufficient strength for only a single movemcnt--to sign away Its body. The day of retrbution is here.
 It is too late for the Germans to whimpcr. They made their bed and they must lie in it. More than four years ago their armies, with plume es futtering in the wind, smashed and slashed their way into peaceful terri tory, hammcring into submission with brutal ficndishness the innocent in
 habitants of lands that asked for nothing more than the right to live in amity and to aspire to legitimate na- tional development With a cruelty parallelcd by no other in the entire history of the world, they tore and
 beat, killed and maimed in order that tho cupidity, the greed, of their mas ters might be satisfied, their hunger for blood appcascd. The story of their progress is still fresh. It is unneccs- sary to repeat it here. How they crushed their way into Bclgium Northern France, Serbia and Russia; how they stamped with giant feet on the hearts and homes Of men; how they burned and destroyed; how they violated every law, written and un
 written, of manlind-that is a sick
 enng story of the past.
 Today the last chapter is being written. The cannon is silent; the
 sword is shattered. The military brute
 is in chains, inclined to snarI, but
 what difference between the snarI
 of today and the roar of 1914! There
 may be protests. A defeated enemy
 will employ every guile, every trick,
 even at this hour to shake off his bonds. But it will make no difference. It is written that Germany is defeat ed and must submit
 To what does the word owe this, miracle? To a land of moro than one hundred million people whose hearts heard the cry of Civilization for suc- cor. All honor 10 noble France, Bel gium. Serbia, England, Maly and all She nations that contributed to the downfall of the monster. But it was America that finally decided whether Autocracy or Democracy was to rule It was American guns, American will and American soldiers and sailors that won this war Without their aid the Allied world, not Germany, would now be trembling in tho agony oi despair The Gethsemanc of Civili- zation was ended only when America responded. The crucifxion of Justicc was halted. When you read in youl newspaper q description of the scenes at Versailles. remember that it wa.

New Britain herald., 1919-05-07

Wha tever arguments have been presented in the past in favor of gov crnmcntal ownership of railroads, those arguments are spiked by the statement of Director General Hines in today's newspa pers. Deficit is pill lost and the end is not in sight. No sane business man would continue to operate an industry, big or small, when his books showed him that debts were growing into mountains without any prospects for their reduction. His only resort would be the court of bankruptcy.
 Mr. Hines says the net loss for Jan uary, February and March of this year amounted to S192, 900, 900. Wages have been high and traffic has been light. He cannot predict with any degrcc of assurance that business will improve during the summer. He even hints that there may be an incrcasc in passenger and freight rates. which are now higher than ever before.
 The New York Sun recently ex- pressed the opinion that federal own ership is the touch of death. tnfor- tunately tho facts seem 10 warrant this conclusion. Fault will not be found with the government for k ing over control of the railroads as a war emergency. But there should be no further advocacy of perpetual ownership. Money talks.
