Bristol repulsed an effort to intro
 duea soeialistic doctrines this wee 2 when the common council of tha .. city unanimously rejected proposi to amend the city charter and recon mend the establishment of q medica
 bureau. The movement In favor c
 the bureau started last winter when
 was claimed that Bristol physician
 were charging higher fees than thei
 services justified. At that time it me
 with popular approval, but the i'm
 petus has died down considerably an
 it has been decided not to ask tn
 bureau for the present.
 Thus endeth an episode which wa.
 the most talked of project of the yea
 in the Bell City" When a munici pality becomes excited and decides t enter a field heretofore occupied b,
 private business men. or members O
 a profession, 1t is riding for fall Popular clamor may spur on thu
 movement which seems thoroughly
 logical at the time, but when calmci | Judgment regains control the evils
 which will befall from municipalities
 meddling in private affairs become
 self-evident. Bristol is to be con
 graduated for keeping its feet on the ! ground.
 | Many New Britain republicans are | planning to attend the annual dinner of the Mckinley Association of Con- | necticut at Waterbury on Saturday
 evening, January 27. As the only large
 city in Connecticut which gave the republican party a plurality at the election last month, New Britain is entitled to special recognition. In fact it would not be asking too much to request the committee in charge to place all the New Britain men present at the table with the guests of honor.
 The Mckinley Association is pledged to a high protective tariff for Connecticut industries. It carried it's point last month by supporting Sena- tor George P. Mclean, but by a small margin, much smaller than was an- ticipated. New Britain did its share, contributing f,500 votes to MT. Me- Leans state plurality. For that req son representatives of the Hardware City" should be greeted with three cheers when they enter the banquet hall, if it is not practicable to find seats for all of them with the guests of honor.
 Former Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois will be the principal speak CT. It will be recalled that there was more or less enthusiasm for Lowden when his name was mentioned in con- nection with the republican presiden- tial nomination in 1920 at Chicago. Connecticut liked the cut of his clothes and would not have been dis appointed if he had been accorded the honor of leading the c. o. P.
 The chairman of the banquet will be Governor-elect Templeton of Mir. Templeton will have been inaugurated as governor ere the late of the banquet is reached, and it $ expected that he will be given an enthusiastic reception before the soup is served.
 Women will attend the dinner, thus adding the one charming touch so es- 'ential to political gatherings nowa- lays.
 While on the subject of politics, it nay not be amiss to say that Wood- ow Wilson is confident that the dem- cratic party will be victorious at the 'olls in 1924. In a Thanksgiving Day .reeting to a friend in Baltimore, the x-President said: Tt is my belief hat if all the party workers will keep !, teadily at it for the next two years, he fight so well begun on November
 will result in a glorious victory in 924." The recent agitation for reading the . 'ible in the New Britain public :, chools finds support in a statement y Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president :, meritus of Harvard University, who z eclares that the schools are 'desper- z tely in need of religious teaching" ontfnuing, he declares. The failure <. our public schools to turn out good 7. tizens and good voters is 'conspicu- ' us. We shall have to look it square, ' : in the face. First, teach children :. , sters. Children ifl the public \ ,hools are getting nothing of it at : lis moment. Many of them are get ng nothing of it at home. Teach the eaning of loving their neighbors. eyond that is the motive of putting to children's hearts love of God"

 Last Sunday evening we had the easure of riding on a we'll lighted i'd well heated express train from ew Haven to Berlin at late hour
 the night. As is necessary. we got at Berlin and was with the crowd
 making a mad rush for the Berlin nkey as soon as the north bound ex- ess had pulled out of the station. Having left well lighted and well ated train we thought that we ,uld again be able to seat ourselves such car in order to complete our urney from Berlin to New Britain. c were quite surprised, however. to ter passenger coach with none of 2 regular lights in working order
