 BE ENCOURAGED

National Speech Week will be ob. served throughout the United States beginning Monday November '. A meeting of the committee which is arranging for the observance of this week in New Britain was held at the Central Junior High school last eve ming. At this time Arthur Hancock, teacher of English at the senior High school was named chairman of the publicity committee.
 Speech week is primarily a con centcrated effort toward "rousing public sentiment to the need and the possibility of improving the speaking voice and raising the standard ot speech usage in daily life" "Cleau. decent and forceful English" will be the motto followed throughout the country by those interested in the project and not only are the school children asked to take an active inter- est in the work but the public as well.
 Say it in good English, clear cor rect and courteous" will be the motto adopted by the New Britain schools. At the Central Junior Hieh school the boys and girls in the art department are making posters announcing the approachinG good English week and the work that the general public should do to observe this week.
 It is recommended that in the var ious cities and towns that automobiles and trucks as well as people be tag ged with the slogan Say it in Good English" During speech week the English classes in all of the public schools will hold special exercises and ,io1 ri Jro tic presentations. At the Central Junior High school "The Downfall of Poor Speech" will be presented with a large cast. The play is in three acts and will be given at the school on coronation day

WHY POLITICIANS
 PAD THE PAYROLL
Chicago Tribune Is Desirous
 of Learning Truth.

Chicago, Nov 5,-Why does 1t pay n politician to pad payrolls? This is the question asked by the Chicago , Tribune, which goes on to say; Of course an answer occurs at once. By putting hcnChmen into jobs the politician creates body of workers who will get votes for him. But this answe. does not get us very far. The real question remains un- ansW red, Padding payrolls-that is, adding unnecessarily to the eX- pcuse of public administration--oush to be bad policy. 1t ought to bring prompt protest from voters who are tatXed directly and indirectly to pay the bills. If the managers of a private concern were caught doing this they would be promptly removed, Why ca2 our political manager get away with it'
 The answer to that is the asswer to the real question: The answer is in the voters indifference and failure to realize his own personal interest in tn waste of public money. He does not think much of public money as his own money. So when A political worker comes to him and dsNs nun lO NOle TOT d pOIltlCldn or political organization because the worker, or his brother, or father, or cousin has political job, the voter good naturcdly agrees.
 A very large part of the strength WhohaeV ttLL fl HMR i'll of politicians comes from this un- thinking good nature of the voter By multiplying jobs and workers who have a personal interest direct or indirect, in keeping politician or political group in power there is a net gain for that politician or group and a net loss to the public Pay roll padding. though it is bound to be disclosed. and though it wastes our money, raises our tatXcs and the high cost 0 fliving as well, will pay as long as tho average voter is as easy g dupe as he Is. When voters take the trouble to think of their own in- terests in public economy and ef7l- ciency--an investment involving cash comfort, and even security--they will not make themselves the victims of d foolish good nature which profits a politician or his relative at the voters expense.
 When this happens, as it does from time to time, payroll padding is not good politics.

CH|LDREN'S BOOK WEEK APPRQACH|NG
Library Prepares For Inter- estirg Exhibiticn-Books
 Displayed Not For Sale.

Plans fQr inc Chidrens Book Week {" be observed at tho local library in conjunction with the simultaneous observance of the week. beginning November l&, as advocated by the National Library Association. are progressing rapidly in this city.
 Miss Elizabeth Wainwright who is in charge of the childrcn's dcpart- ment is sparin@ no pains to make the occasion the best this city has seen in it's line, and the most helpful and instructive to parents and children Tn" object of the Chiljrcn's Book Week is [" help local people deciGe what books are good for Christmas gifts for the children. Books are coming in every day and several hun dred extra copies already are on hand and being arranged to make an at tractive display,
 One particular display which Miss WainwriGht is keeping a secret until she opens thc exhibition. is q very pretty and attractive novelty and will prove quite aurpriS" to the visitor It i, not quite finished but is dis tinctly original and exceedingly at tractive.
 Among the books now arriving are found the old time copies of Mother Goose, Robin Hood, Robinson Crusnc. Treasure Island, and other childhood fayOrites of an older generation. The list is brought up to date by the ad- dtiOn of q number of modern books. some of which echo tales of the late war. The growing interest of the modern youth in practical things and instructive amusement is shown in a clever manner by the stories of ap- prentiCes in 'enchantment, etc.
 Rhymes of the Belgian, French and Russian children is the title of an- other book. which is distinctly new.
 Miss WainWright wishes it under stood that the library is not in the business of selling books, neither has fit any object in advertising works either of fiction, reference or study. The sole object of the exhibition is to help parents and friends in select ing the most desirable books for the children to read. Upon making selection from any book on display, it will be necessary for the prospective purchaser to proceed to a book store and order the desired book.
