REAL ESTATE BOOM,

Increase in property values in New Britain within recent years is one of the most remarkable facts in connec- tion with our municipal history and is significant of the healthy growth of the city as well as the prosperity it properties have changed hands that could have been bought for much less money few, years ago. During the present boom, prices have shot up to unheard of figures and if gossip in real estate circles can be relied upon still greater increases are in sight.
 The Judd block on Main street is re- ported to have been sold last week for it's assessed value. The Walsh prop erty on the west side of Main street, 8 short distance south of the railroad
 track, is said to have been sold for s60,000, but considering it's central location this is not judged to be cxor- bitant, especially as the purcha ser also bought the adjacent Lee property Combined, they furnish an ideal site for a largo business block
 Main street realty deals always fur nish choice tdbits for discussion but
 outside property is not excluded from
 the field of activity. The block at the
 corner Of West Main and Lincoln
 streets was disposed of 8 few days
 ago, the reported price being s2s,OOO. Numerous transactions in tenement houses are also being recorded with the City Clerk and the prices are
 much higher than ever before.
 The real estate situation reflects a l confidence in the continued prosperitv of the city. An industri boom is expected in the fall and it is predict ed that property values will mount to | new maHimums by that time.

Industrial Cures.
(New York Com m ercial l

While the program outlined by pr Charles w. Eliot for the elimination of industrial strife is closely similar in certain features to tho "industrial creed" enunciated by John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., it does seem to differ in an important underlying feature.
 MT. Rockefeller does not make pre- requisite to the practical initiation of his plan the acceptance Of it's prnci- ples by labor. He presents it as the business mans, the employers creed not as that of all parties concerned in industrial welfare. Dr. EIliots sum ming-up of his own views places em- phasis upon such phrases as. willing adoption by both parties" ''recogni- tion by both parties" general accept ance of the views,' etc.
 Cnpreiudiced thinking and acting urged by Mir. Rockefeller's creed mise that an industrial millennium can be achieved in advance of concrete and widespread proof to labor that employers are seeking to establish a genuine partnership among the hu- man clements which go to make up industry.
 Dr. Eliot may mot have had in mind. or intended to indicate, 8 diff ference of this kind between his owu and MT Rockefeller's program, but if not. his plan is not so wisely and felicitously worded as the other

Freak Strikes.
(Springtield Republican,

The harum scarum fringe of labor unionism is in evidence whenever q freak strike is promoted. But there is cause for congratulations whenever a freak strike movement is sup pressed.
 The attempt to bring on general strike in this country on July l, as q workingman's protest against nation al prohibition. is evidently a failure thanks to the good sense of those unionists who see the unWisd0m ot tying up' the whole Cmtcd StatcS fo,, the sake of beer and of identify jnc labor organizations, In the pubHc mind. with the interests of the saloon.

Words of Promise.
(NeW York Tim eS)

(NeW Ork IlmeS)
 Representative Frank w. Monden, who will be the republican leader in tho next house, speaks with more moderation and candor than his rec ord for partsa anship might have led us to expect, and realizes the hopes born of his long experience and un questioned bilty. In an interview re- ported in The Evcning Post, he says:
 Using words of moderation, I think one may properly say that the coming congress, the SiXtysixth, will be even more important than the war congress. We did many things under stress of war without careful consid- eration, and with cOnsid erable mental reservation, hoping for the best. We cannot legislate in the next congress along any such line of thought. Our decisions will be so mom entOus and far-rea ching in their effect that they must be arrived at and determined only after the most painsta king con- sid deretion for, while we may have been pardoned for mista kes made un- der the stress of war we cannot ex pect. any such charitable estimate of our acts s the SiXtN-sixth congress proceeds to the formulation of pol- cies for the period of peace.'
 That is by far the most statesman like utterance that has come from any leader in the house of either party in a long time. He is hopeful, he saws, that we shall be a ble to work harm oniously with the minority in carrying out a large portion, at least, of the coming program, in view Of the fact that the questions involved are in no sense purely DOlitical' MT. Nondell is the successor of Claude Kitchin in the majority leadership. It would have been we'll for the country if at any time during MT 1<itchins s eaders11ip he had been able to take this view of his responsibilities. 1t is time that the parties got together, and Mr. Mondell speaks with great re straint and in a tone which no honest democrat can take exception to when he speaks of the many things done under stress of war hout careful considerati ton, and with considerable mental reservation, hoping for the best" He places the responsibility on his own party as well as the dem ocratic If congress generally takes the attitude toward it's problems that is taken by the republican leader it will produce better things than the most sanguine had hoped for.

The North Carolina Negroes.
(Charlottc Observer.D

The Twentieth Century Voters club. an organization of negroes in Raleigh, has decided to put up ticket in the approaching municipal election and will have candidates in the field for maNOr and comm iSsloners. The sig nificance in this is that the negro in the state is knocking for admittance into the state republican councils and will be asking to be given his old place in North Carolina republican, ism Just how this demand by the negroes to their o1d-time recognition is going to be received by the repub- lican leaders remains to be secn.. Un- oucstionably they would rather re- cruit their party from the ranks Of the business people than from the ranks of their former wards, the negroes.

OUR NATIONAL FrNANcrs.

'8ssecretary Glass of the Treasury |@partment is sublimely confident Rat the nation will absorb the Victory Aperty Loan which will be offered on |pril 21 and predicts that bonds is
 Ed in other loans will sell above par
 8fore their maturity. The Secre- A'ry's s comment on the forthcoming gan was brought out by letter writ
 sn by Senatop Calder of New York in Nflch the latter urged that the Pres 3ent call an extra session of Con-
 ress to pass legislation for the pro- sction of holders of Liberty Bonds. Iecretary Glass believes an extra ses- Ion unnecessary and says the finances II the country are in sound condition. The national debt is less than s25,- |oo, o,ooo,Ooo and, with thesa ddition of sar bills, will not exceed s3O.O0O,- S00,00O. Partly offsetting this are pans to foreign countries aggregating Il0, 900, 100000. Credit is easy to ob- pin for useful enterprises, Secretary elass reports, and a rapid decline in Federal expenses is certain to follow 8le signing of the peace paper. Explaining his opposition to an ex- 8a session of Congress for the pur- lose of protecting holders of Liberty Bonds, the Secretary writes: 3 To act in accordance with your 8 suggestion and ask the President
 a to call the Congress in special ses- 8 sion to enact some additional leg 8 islatton in aid of the Victory Lib q erty Loan would imply a distrust 8 which 1 do not feel Of the action
