You know you don't meant that. Conditions created by yourselves won't let you and any such predictions can't mature.
 Now while the productive or skilled workmen ought to be and proba bly are well satisfied with the liberal wages they are now receiving, the dispensers of the necessaries of life will chuck the same price at the truckman as he does to the machinist. and you may already begin to perceive the curved lip.
 Now if the short-shorcmcn should set the same fever as the longshOre- men will that reduce your H. C. of L. :
 Will you do anything with pro- liteers? Potatoes are one of the sta ples. Befo.p the war we saw years when the Irishman's pride could be bought for A. cents a bushel whole sale price, and thousands Of two bushel bags of onions were scattered on the dump, bag and ai!. Today they stand at $3.15 per bush"l. Hoy: But I cant fill the paper the editor won't let me. but unless l am wrongly in formed. a lot of potatoes, butter. etc, came into this country from Holland recently and the government banks lent your money to the spectators to
  place this food in pawn for the higher prices the ShOrt-shorenlon will have to pay while We stand gaping here.
 As l said before. long while ago there is room here for 800. 100000 more people to come and make thelr 'appy 'omcs, but they should be dis tributed over territories where they would do the moSt good. Let cards be given to European agencies stamped Utah only. Idaho, etc.. etc, states where farmers are crying on their knees for help to plant their crops You would very soon then obtaln a low cost of living and far bettet dinner table than you ever had before. But on the other hand if you W.ii con- tinue to veN your common people with fanaticaI and foolish laws which can not be enforced and which are Vi ciouslH discriminating. they'll Sathc! up their cusl, and tell you Bonne nult.

GIBSON BUYS LIFE"

Many learned effusions have de scl'ibed the r.se of the laborer on the railroad tracks to the presidency of the road, or ascents of similar cha act-r. but few occasions have arisen permitting the noting of an artist $ advance from boy-contributor to q great periodical to it's ownership.
 Charles Dana Gibson has purchased the majority interest in "lIife.' Years ago as a boy, he is said to have sold arc those disconcerted who cling 70 the old-fa shioned idea that "a artist or poet never don't amount % nothin'.' even viewed from the stand point of the matcrialist to whom sue cess means nothing but the accumu- jation of dollars.
 But it is safe to say that Mr. CIib- sons heart has been made far happier by the artistic success of his concep- tionS than by the financial returns they have yielded. At one time his "Gibson Girl' represented the acme of perfection. the goal of the smart" young woman at time when the word was never used in the sense familiar today. Countless young men have discarded wrinllled ties in their vain endeavor to look like the chap upon whom the Gibson girl was please I to smile. Older men. inn pressed hy tho ridiculous figure one of the artists caricaturcs cut, have avoided situations of which he made delicious fun.

difference between the riches of profiteers before and after the war.
 Of course it is possible some might be included in the envied number of newly rich who would have become wealthy irrespective of the war. Some plan ought to be devised to exempt them from the tax unless they volunteered to contribute. Then it is quite possible that the soldiers will agree with one of their number who stated the other day that the honor of having served his country was reward enough. They may de- eide they want no bonus. This de- cision would receive the 23,OO0 con- sdera bly.
 As far as has been ascertained there has been no popular cry against letting George do it," in the matter of paying taxes. It is taken for granted, therefore. that the plan suggested would meet with no op- position from anyone unless he hap pened to be one of the "Georges''.

WHAT INTERESTS YOUo

1 The things that interest you and
 which you believe should interest ! other dwellcrs in New Britain should | be discussed on this page. Every 1 thinking citizen of this city is in 6 position to have special knowledge of some matter which all should share. It is his or her duty to give such knowledge publicity, not in the form
 of propa ganda but tempered by some
 thing of judicial treatment.
 If you are confident of the wisdom
 of some reform, or the abolshm ent
 of some reform tried but found want
 ing, you will be confident. also, that
 publicity will bring about change
 beneficial to the city. If such matter
 which interests you and which you
 believe should be Of general interest
 is not here discussed, it is more your
 fault than the fault of the editoria! the editorial writer may know nothing at all about it. Tell him!
 This page is conceived to be a place for violent propa ganda only when there is no question to the wisdom of the thing advocated as affecting the city or any great proportion of is in ha bitants. It is wise lawyer. indeed, who is able to see both sides of his case and to give full weight to the justice of his opponents conten tions. His words are given less cor sideration. generally. because of the intensity of his partisanship than arc conclusions of the court, even though the latter may be couched in mildcr terms. Regardless of the binding character of the courts decision, con verts are brought because of the fact that men realize those conclusions have been reached after a careful con sideration of both sides. Even tho1gh one side is not represented before the court, confidence is felt that the judge with a pinch of salt" and has >ll- lowed for his enthusiasm in his cause.
 The editorial writer should not pre-. sumo to set himself up as an all-Wisc judge in matters of which he may hear but ono side. He should be wise enough, however, to distinguish be- tween propa ganda inspired purely by personal interest and that the aim of which is to accomplish something thai will be worth while.
 All of which means that, while ] matters of great national importance 1 and of interest to every thinking man, l woman and young person should not ! be overlooked, this page is intended D prma rily to interest and aid every in i ha bitant of New Britain and vicinity. 1, The help of all. therefore, is asked 1 that this m;iy be accomplished, not l formal ''lctters to the Editor' but by informal conversation when 1 questions may be asked and answered. 1
