substitute for the big bus which runs
west Main? 1t has stood by a
Barnsdaie garage now for couple OF
weeks, helpless. The trolley company
is usually sued by person when he
or she receives a slight jar in a troll
ley accident and usually collects.
What is the matter with the people
who were in the jitney which had an
accident on West Main street the 9TH
er day? I understand several were
badly frightened for a minute. The
public usually treats the smaller op-
ponent best but although the COM
pany is the biggest I think it de-
serves the public's help more than
the jitneys. There is one good thing
about the jitney-trolley controversy
however, and that is we have neu-
trail mayor I believe he is quoted as
saying: Il am neither for the jitneys
nor the trolleys but think that the
Connecticut company should rip up
their tracks in New Britain"
There is one obvious fact, however,
and that is the city of New Britain
gave the company a franchise for a
sum of money and when they allow
the jitneys to run they are selling a
certain right to two different factions.

THE PHANTOM SHIPS.

1t remains for revenue agents ~
put a new twist upon the sea tale that
has been engrossing the public for the
LAST few months. They announce that
they suspect that the ships that ap-
pear and disappear, that approach
honest merchantmen and passenger
ships at sea and then veer suddenly
off without having complied with the
formalities of signalling their name o"
destination, are carrying cargoes of
rum, yo-ho, and landing it in obscure
spots on our shores. 1t is quite pos
sible that large amount of contra
band liquor Is being carried to point
slong the seaboard and put ashore in
boats OF light draft in all hours OF
the night. The American public, hav-

park their cars and proceed with
courtship in the most approved fash
ion. They must get hence. In get
ting hence they will proceed thither,
despite the offense against the lives
and property of other autoists and
pedestrians, with their companions.
Pity the youth who is caught at it
y the chaperons of the highway, and
hailed into court for reckless driving.
Pity the lass who has her beau on
the point of proposing that the two
continue life's journey in double har-
ness, only to have loves young dream
shattered by the ridiculous anti
climax of a summons to court Tough
luck, and busted romances-likewise
added protection for the unenamored
who venture for non-romantic jour
neys upon the roads of Connecticut.

THE RAILROAD STATION

THE RAILROAD STATION
Here's where we tell them "Hello"'
Here's where we wave them Good,
bye!"
Here's where they come and they go
Causing a smile or a sigh,
Ever the throng hurries through
Anxious to rest or to roam;
Those who are bidding adieu,
Folks we are welcoming home.
Into the depths of the night,
Into the dawn of the day,
Loved ones are carried from sight
Over the iron-track'd way;
Some of them never return
Out of the stretches of loan;
No matter how much we yearn,
Some of them never come home.
Mother and father and son
Stand at the end of the track
Bidding good-bye-and the one
Going may never come back.
Thus, from the break of the day
Unto the gathering gloam
Many are going away,
Many are travelling home
Sometimes a sister will swoon,
Often sweetheart will cry
Here in the station, at noon,
While they are saying Good-bye;
Someone is watching all day.
Under the smoke-blacken'd dome,
Folks who are going away,
Folks who are wandering home.

PRISONERS RIOT.

1t is almost with incredu1ity that
we receive the news of the riots of
yesterday in the Western Penitentiary
OF Pennsylvania when thousand
convicts started upon rampage and
burned the buildings of the peniten-
that they could escape. Six hundred
| and fifty men, who were the second
relay in the dining room, gave the
initial impetus to the affair which
took all of the prison guards and all
available police reserves and firemen
to stop. A list of serious injuries in
dicates that several will die, they be-
ing convicts.
While we realize that the affair
actually took place, that newspapers
are giving fairly accurate accounts of
the rumpus, we wonder how it is that
the men got out from under control
of their armed guards and succeeded
in burning down about twelve of the
buildings in the prison yard. 1t
would seem that paid wardens, train
ed in watching prisoners would get
some indication of the plans before
it was time to put them into opera
ton 1t is limited that trouble was
expected l, with an earlier crowd of
diners, and was temporarily suppress
ed. But there must have been some
plan of procedure on the part of the
disturbers, some organization to eff
feet the Jail delivery which did not
materialize. Despite the early block
ing of the plans they were eventually
carried out in most spectacular
fashion.
Prisons are prisons no longer when
mob may organize and disturb con-
ditions as much as the Pennsylvania
convicts did yesterday. There is a
| weakness in the administration of the
penitenIiary or such a thing would
not have taken place. Probably the
! Prisoners calls of I'VE want a new
warden" will be recognized in the &C
| ton Of the state. No matter what

ONE ARMED DRIVERS.

No more is the one armed driver
to be allowed on the public highways,
according to a ruling of the Motor
Vehicle department. That is, a man
who has only one arm will be allowed
to drive providing he passes rigid
to cover ground in an automobile
and combine business with pleasure
by allowing his nigh arm to stray
about the shoulders of a fair COM
reckless driving if he is spotted by
state cop. And he is going to be
fined, in addition. so there.
Possibly there should be another
charge brought against limerick
less conduct. but the state legislature
will have to be consulted upon the
subject before laws may be passed
| covering the conduct of a sain with
highway. Poor fellows, they are be-
coming more and more encircled with
| restrictive legislation every day. Not
/ that they shouldn't be, it is far safer
| for the ordinary driver, minus a COM
panion, if they. are prohibited from
displaying their affectation. But de-
barring demonstrations is going to
furnish a Inc job for the cops, just
the same.
A few years ago the divided front
seat was an item in the models of the
motor car manufacturers. Ever notice
the display in an automobile show
| and remark upon the absence of these
seats today? The manufacturers soon
found how popular their model was,
and they know why. They build
them all the way across now, as a
general rule Ever since the first
vehicle for two was built the habit

way home at comfortable pace, with
no hand on the reins, was always
an admirable adjunct to the livery
stable or the farm where youth was
represented. Many a young man, in
generations past, realized just how
much old Dobbin helped in the rea-
lization of his ambition Just so in

COMMUNICATED
A Word For the Trolleys.
New Britain, July 10, 1921.

-~~~-A' - NAS ~, AoH l..
Dear Editor:
Here are a few words from one
who favors the trolleys. I read in
your paper the other night the
thoughts of a New Britainite who
said tho t1clleys did not help the city
at all out were only an asset to the
state. I would like to know what
the J1tneys are to tho city,. About
the taxpayers who crab over their
taxes VIII" would pay for the pave
ment between the trolley tracks and
couple of feet on either side? Not
the Jltneys. What money the jit-
neys do pay goes to the state and
benefits New Britain not at all. The
West Ender who wrote last night
talks of the trolleys humping along
daily, empty. Surely that is some
thing, to be humping along. 1 have
not noticed the usual number of jit-
neys humping along the last few days.
What's the matter? Is there a party
in New Haven or Hartford where
more money can be made? Real serv-
ice means to be on the Job all the
time, not just when 1t pays. When a
trolley car breaks down there is al
ways one to replace it, but where is a

TWO SCOUTS ARE
GIVEN HIGH RANK
Second Class Honors to Hitchiner and
Richman-Five Are Awarded
Merit Badges.

The July session of the Court of
Honor of the Boy Scouts of America,
was held last evening at 8 o'clock at
scout headquarters in the Boys club
building. Scout Executive Walter O.
Cook, came up from the Boy Scout
camp at Chester so that the program
of achievement might be carried on by
those boys who had not the good
fortune this year to be at camp.
The following tests were passed by
the court: Second class rank, Fred
Hitchiner, troop number 4; David
Richman, troop number TO-
Merit badges: Irving Parker, troop
number 4, masonry; Ebbe Anderson,
troop number 4, first aid to animals and
pioneering; David Richman, troop
number 10, craftsmanship and first aid
to animals; John Marsland, troop
number 4, pioneering; Sydney Cooper,
troop number 10, pioneering and public
health
ALI of the above tests were passed at
the Boy Scout camp during the past
two weeks. Approximately twenty boy
scouts spent the first two weeks at
Camp Keemasahbee. The boys are
planning with considerable interest the
entertainment of the Rotary club on
the 10Th of July.

ing had prohibition foisted upon 1t, Is
quite anxious to defeat the provisions
of the eighteenth amendment and,
there being considerable money IN the
project, undoubtedly there are nu-
merous modern smugglers who are
willing to supply the WhereWlthal to
beat the amendment. But, such
characteristics as the ships appear TO
have are scarcely warranted, unless the
ck,nners have been imbibing of the
cargo to a point where they are near
consciousness.
There is no particular reason why
rum carrier should refuse to speak
another vessel that she might meet
upon the high seas, there is no reason
why she should run from ship un-
less she is inside the three mile linn It
and is trying to make landing. The
exclamation that she is expecting to
meet another American vessel and
transfer her cargo and runs because
she does not receive the proper rec
ognition signal would hardly hold
water. There is no reason why she
should not land her own cargo, AMI
it is obviously a waste of time and
money to attempt a reshipment at
SEA. A ship could clear from Havana
fer any port with hold full Of
liquor. She would have perfect
right to speak and be recognized.
Faving disposed of her stuff at some
point along the coast, through the
Medium of small boats and a hidden
bay, she could return to the homo
port with few questions asked. She
nc st certainly should not add to the
mystery of her presence by darting
about, refusing signals and otherwise
disporting herself. The revenue agents
nave made a mistake, in our opinion.
they are undoubtedly right in sup
posing that liquor has been lande i
on our shores, but not by the ques-
,ionable ships.
The maritime world has been seek
ing to account for the presence of the
strange ships so frequently reported,
but has done very little towards solv-
irg the mystery. If the reports ma;
i've believed, many of them have been
net, but the sailor has a vivid imagi-
nation and weird story telling ability
coupled with a love for entertaining
the public with fascinating tales o.
his habitat. Several ships disappear
ed from the visible world, of this
there is little question, someone start
ed the story of pirates and the sailors
have been adding thereto, conscieo-
| ticusly and with constantly increasing
embellishments. Now the revenuo
agents, jealous perhaps of their share
Of the glory, maybe seeking an appro-
priation for a large number of rev
enue cutters, and revenue cutter is
a fine place to spend a vacation, have
accounted for the ships. Has anyone
anything else to offer? Step up and
| If it sounds good let us hear it. The
public likes the tales.
