son to those WHO aspire to manage or
direct events in which the public has
an interest.
Aside from the disgust created by
the Race of the Century" fair-g"erS
have remained away because OF the
unemployment situation. Time w:S
wheu trains bound TOR Hartford were
crowded with New Britain residents,
but it has been noticed that tcw pas
sengers were discharged at the Charte:
Oak station this week.
Reports from some of the factories
are TO the effect that business is on the
mend. Orders are far from normal,
but they are said to be more numerous
and to represent greater values. 1t
would be hazardous to predict that
industry will resume its former pace
this fall, but it would not be saying
too much to forecast an improvement
over the present. The pickup will be
slow, but in a number of factories 1t
is said that a steady gain is being felt
each week.
Advocates of the extensive construc-
ton of public works mapped out solely
TO provide employment OF those
temporarily out of work would do well
to read the opinion on this proposition
expressed in the monthly business bnl-
letin of the National City Bank of New
York. Vice President Roberts Of thi.s
bank spoke to a gathering Of New
Britain business men a few months
ago and he is generally CREDITED with
being the author of much that appears
in the monthly bulletin.
Under the heading Public Con-
struction," in the September issue, the.
bulletin says:
The demand for greater eXpendi-i
lures upon public works to give en-
ployment to labor at present wages isl
fundamentally wrong, and SO is every
artificial scheme to provide work at
inflated costs. 1t is an attempt to evade
and defeat the economic law. 1t as
sumes that society can lift itself oy
its bootstraps.
THE cost of public labor would
have to be betrayed by bond issues,
which would mean more tax-eXempt
securities more competition with bonds
outstanding and lower prices for
them. 1t would mean heavier burdens
for the taxpayers, and further deple-
ton of the capital supplies from which
the real revival of industry must come.
Every such increase in the burdens
upon industry, every move that wastes
capital in uneconomic expedients, de-
lays recovery.
The people who advocate such polf-
cies think they are dealing with a
temporary situation, but this is not
a temporary situation. Industry will
not be self supporting again until it is
brought back into balance, so that
the products of the workers in the
various lines will be naturally ex-
changed and absorbed. When one-half
of the population has had its compen-
sation cut one-half it cannot afford to
pay taxes to keep the other half en-
ployed at war wages

American professional sports are i'll
bad need of being vacuum cleaned.
The World Series scandal is still
| fresh in the minds of thousands.
a few nights ago two pugiliSts gave
| a farcical exhibition of boxing in n
| New Jersey ring. Instead of giving the
| fans a run for their money. the fight
ers simply danced their way through
| the battle and as result of the
| hue and cry that arose, the money OF
one of the contestants was held up.
Only this week, several thousand
fans paid their way into Charter Oak
park, Hartford. to watch Il race be-
tween two of the worlds greatest
horses. The champions of their class
ran as if hitched to milk wagons. They
covered the distance on a fast track
in time that would have made the
average Grand Circuit horse asham e d
of himself. AS a consequence, rhe
money which the owner of one of the
horses expected to receive, was with
held and an investigation started.
ScandFf seems to extend her hand in
every direction where professional
sports are concerned. The American
public, the easiest going and the
most generous public in the world is
becoming disguised. Suspicion is
aroused that those who pay the bill
have been hoodwinked for years and
there is a well developed demand for
new blood. The people will stand be-
hind square promoter of any sport
ing event and behind any square per-
former but they are aroused by con-
ditions which have existed and should
and will demand sport that is free
from suspicion.

Fair at Charter Oak park this year is
reported to be less than during previ-
Gus year and it is believed that the
