TWO-PLATOON SYSTEM

4 wo-platoon plan for the fire de nartment has been made public. The city is committed to the theory. The relief has been promised the firemen as convincingly as possible. The de served benefit was snatched away from them when it was counted upon and after money had been auth orized for it's establishment.
 An opportunity will again be of fered the city to pay this moral obli- gation which will, it is believed. bring the city good results even if only the selfish side of the matter is consider ed
 The two platoon system in some f form will be adopted by the cit. Now that a concrete plan has been formu- lated it is the duty of those who will have the chance to discuss it, to study 1t in detail for the purpose of seeing
 if 1t is the wisest plan that may be
 
 given to economy and the efficiency of the department with the humanizing of the hours of the firemen.
 The last words that should be said when this matter comes before the council again, are: More time for a study of this matter should be given. Let it be laid aside until the next meeting
 There is time now to study the plan. If council members give it the thought it deserves, and investigate the matter as it should be investigated, there should be no reason for delay. This two- platoon matter should be investi- gated, there should be no reason for delay. This two platoon matter should be settled now-and the city should keep its word.

ON THE ALERT

Blind "boosting' of ones "home town" makes not only the town or city but also the ''booster' ridiculous Lauding any action or anything be- cause it is local product is not to be encouraged. The habit makes for that most handicapping of character istics, self sa tisfaction. Local products should be boosted" only when de- serving. Then one may boost to the limit
 But 1t is worth while to note occa- sions when ones own town or city has been awake. It may possibly encour- age people to continue the practice of alertness.
 New Britain established d municipal employment bureau last winter, sought the aid of the people of New Britain in obtaining work for the un- employed. and co-operated with vel fare associations in this endeavor. Subsequently at a Washington confer ence plans for the aid of the unem- ployed were adopted which were practically the same as those already in working order in this city.
 Recently plans were made here for an investigation of the wholesale price of gasoline in an attempt to reduce that price. Today cones the news that Congress and the Department Of Justice have started such an investi- gation in the interest of the 100000 automobile owners of tho country.
 It is not difficult to start investiga- tions. The trouble comes when one ig confronted with the necessity of making those investigations wolth

A SENSIBLE REOIiEST

The League Of Foreign Born Voters in New York, wants information to be given each year on Indepe ndence day about the events in American history They want pageant in every city and hamlet in the country bringing before them pictures illustrating the various epochs.
 Native born Americans should hai this request with enthusiasm. People from other lands, coming here and as serting that they have selected this country to be theirs for the future have asked us to tell them about this land in which we were born and for which they have shown their admira- ton in the most practical way possi- ble.
 It would show poor appreciation on our part, and a sad lacking of loyalty to refuse their request. Ameri- canization bodies and welfare organi- cations interested in the foreign born citizens or those who may become cit izens shoulda interest themselves in this movement at once. The request is simple and sensible. Those people want to learn and they know that ob- ject lessons will teach them and i'm press them more than anything else Their honesty is to be admired; their !. request should be granted.
 A person comes to you. He asks to learn your business into which he has just been taken, T know little about it." he says. Teach me in the simplest way--let me see just what your business means" A wise employ CT would grant his request immediate ly. Unwise employers would quench the first of his enthusiasm by turning him away.
 Incidentally it may be said that many besides the foreign born would be benefited by such illustrative pageants. Knowledge of the signif. canoe of the epochs of American his- tory is not any too prevalent sad as it is to be compelled to make the admission.

DISEASE IS ENPEN SLNE

John T. Black, State Commissioners
 Of Health estimates the loss to the
 state annually from preventable dis eases, to the $50, ,ooo. .ooo, Tuberculosis, he says, accounts for so,ooo,ooo of this loss and some sl,3oo,~oo from bovine tuberculosis,
 Often 1t is difficult in state and municipal affairs to secure eppropria- tions to care for the sick, or to pre- vent the continuation of unhenlthful conditions, to improve the conditions under which we live and to accomp- fish other purposes aimed to make better the health Of the people Money spent in such work including the bettermen of children, is consider ed to be "charitably" spent, People engaged in advocating such better ment for children and adults, are considered "welsare workers" and rather impractical persons They are smiled upon indulgently; their work assisted if it does not cost too much /
 So it is well that person in author ity has emphasized the actual cost of preventahle disease in dollars and cents, Such figures appeal to "practi- cal" men who pride themselves upon being practical" and who scoff at anything that may not be stamped with that cold mark. oallow pre- veutable diseases to flourish is a prac tical mistake. If financial loss to the state comes each year from preventa- he diseases steps should be taken to prevent those diseases from levying their tax. In looking at the matter this way no account is taken of the suffer- ing of the human beings, Let that be left out of account entirely for the sake of practical people who will not be influenced by human sympathy.
 Every dollar lost to the state be cause of disease, is financial loss to each individual in it. The people of the state are the human machine that produce the states wealth. the peo- pe's wealth. If very practical man saw his machine wearing out because It needed oil he would hasten to oil it and keep it in shape that if might earn more money for him and remain in good condition to do its work.
 So the practical people of thestate should assist the welfare workers and other wise and humane people in the efforts to stamp out the pre- ventable diseases to the end that the expense account of the state will not be increased because of deterioration of the machinery which bring in its, revenue.
 All this entirely aside from the splendid work of relieving human suf- fering, and preventing death--work which, in itself, should bring inspira- ton.

avoided. would be the shortest way of
 accomplishing that purpose,
 Naturally the shortest way of elim- mating the possibility of accident al the Clayton Crossing. would be to have the crossing made safe. The public utilities commission is either unwilling or unable to accomplish this at present. Certainly there have been sufficient number of acidents there 10 urge that commission to SC that the crossing is made safe. But it has not been made safe, People in this city are concerned They want action It is q sad spectacle to see the people forced to resort to other means Of protecting travellers on the highway when one lies open for the public commission to accomplish this re- suit. But the people are forced to take some action without waiting for the commission to act.
 Councilman Lynch's plan has many features to commend it. It is not as yet backed by the approval of the city engineer as far as known. But from a somewhat comprehensive study of the situation from a layman's point of view it would seem that it would be wise to consider, at least, the build
 ing of tfiis connecting road which would offer a way between this city and points to the East without the necessity of crossing the railroad tracks at the dangerous Clayton cross ing Not the least of the good fea- lures of the plan is the possibility of development of new sections of this locality. The shortening of the road to and from Hartford would be of but little advantage perhaps, as the differ ence is slight.
 But there is this point in the con ception of the plan. It has for it's in spiration the desire to make it possi ble to safeguard life. It shows the determination on the part of people of this city, and the author of the plan himself, to do something about the Clayton crossing situation even if q new road has to be built to get around not only the dangerous cross ing, but the obstacle of the inaction or impotency of the utilities commis- sion.

RUSSIAN REBELS ON
 TRIAL IN MOSCOW
Charges and Counter Charges Made by C0unsels

Moscow, June 9, (By The Associat- ed Press) The hatred of Europe S moderate socialists for the Russian communists, and the latter's recipro- cal feeling toward the moderates, crystallized yesterday at the opening of the trial here of S4 members of the social revolutionist party Leaders of the second internationale and other European socialist organi- cations appeared as counsel for the defendants, who are accused among other things of bettaying the Rus sian revolution, of assisting Kolchak and Denikene and of engineering plots to assassinate Lenine, Trotzky and other bolshevik leaders. The de- fendants are divided into three groups, the first being headed by An cram R. Gotz responsible member of the central executive committee of the social revolutionary party who was one of the principal aids to ker- ensky, and Dimitri Donskoi, accused as the party's representative on all military commissions and of being in touch with Gen. Ludendorff. In this group is woman, Eugenie M. Rat ner, cashier of the party
 The second group consists of six or seven persons, including Lydia Konoplova and M. Semenoff-v -vasilieff, who were, it is alleged, actually charged with the task of killing the bolsheviki leaders, but who turned informers.
 These are being defended by em- nent bolshevists as counsel.
 The third group comprises a mum .. Der of members of the party alleged to have been familiar with the plot ting, to have sheltered the plotters and to have been otherwise impli- cated
 At the opening of the trial the de- fendants raised the objection that as all three of the judges were commun- ists it was improper for them to sit in judgment upon their political op- ponents. The objection was over ruled after forensic battle in which internationally famous socialists took part, Some of the prisoners entered the fray hurling objections and inter jection in Russian, French and Ger man.
 From the red decorated stage, the counsel, prisoners and court looked out upon an audience packing every inch of the floor and balconies of the marble -pillared, massively chandel- tered ballroom in which the trial is being held. The crowd was studded with the bayonets of soldier guards, many of whom were women.
 Emil Vandervede, Belgian socialist, once member of the Belgian cabinet and president of the second interna- tionsle, is one of the leading foreign CTS in the counsel in the defense; and was foremost in pressing the objec- tions to the judges and prosecutor. In strident French he declared it was evident that Belgium and Russia had different conceptions of justice. h. tense silence by the court arose as the Belgian declared that this po- litical trial was being watched by the millions of the proletariat whom he represented.
 M Nandervelde's bold challenge was answered by the grizzled Krylen- ko. the chief prosecutor.
 No wonder we have different con- captions of justice" he declared. Such justice will Belgium have only when her ministers are placed on

PARTY "SPLITS"

h the glorious past, sweetened by the mellow light of tradition, party regularity" was something that was to be observed, a reputation for II else. Party regularity has been the sturdy vehicle upon which many a man has been borne to high places, Once in those high places such per sons have rested back in their easy chairs. smoked fragrant cigars. and allowed their placid minds to wander vhither fancy beckoned, untroubled by the demands of times, the neces- sities of the occasion, firm in their conviction that others. the leaders of their party would suggest action when isit seemed best to act-the consider alton being, at all times, the welfare of the party
 Gradually there comes to the con sciousness of the people whose votes put such persons in their comfortable seats, the idea that they might just as well have the game" of choosing the men to represent them, as well as the rname" So they voted little diff or two who was not a party regular This action on the part of the peo- yle c1Jrc c+e eJ to in tics. that they. too, might exert a bit of independence now and them and still retain some power. They tried it. The thing worked. The voters rather liked such exhibitions of independence Recently there have been gentlemen in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Iowa who tried the scheme of fighting the complaisant gentlemen of the organi- zation-and they did very well, thank you. The estimable gentleman in the White House today is an example of the true party regular
 In our own quiet little city it seems there have been others who feeling that they had minds to use, decided to use them in spite of arrangements made to the contrary. Such independ- ent people may not have exercised the best judgment alWays-perhaps they have At any rate they united the halter, dropped it from their necks, and decided to walk alone, freed of the encum brance.
 There have been party splits" it is reported The Herald would like to see one great split. The Herald would like to see each man, democrat and republican, join in an individual split that would sever him from all others and place him on his own feet. It would be a good thing to see a com mon council composed of men who would go to council meeting, minds open, ready to vote on all questions as the right and wisdom of the matter appeared after all the evidence was in.
 Organization is a splendid thing. It is the best way of accomplishing anything. But organization may ac- com plish good and bad. Organization that so binds men that they will re- main loyal to organized action, if it develops that such action will not be wise, is far worse than no organiza ton at all.
