Coyotes have become so numer.
nus and desperate in eastern Colo

ers regard them as a menace.
Steps are being taken to extermi

several years ago. when the set

up government land, that the
coyotes, like other animals, would
disappear. on the contrary they
have increased. and have become
so bold as to sneak up within q
few yards of a ranch house and
catch poultry in broad daylight.

calves in some places. At one

Down in Peoria there has been
a great demand for cocoanuts.
and the merchants could not
supply the demand and were at
a loss to know why there was
such q demand for this fruit
Saturday a man was arrested for
being drunk and when being
taken before the court was asked
where he bought his liquor. he
said, 1T is the cocoanut. You
buy one. bore a hole in it. pour
out the milk. fill it with white
molasses plug it up and let it
stand for ten days and you have
the finest gin imaginable" The
judge has asked for an expert
ment to be made to see If the
fellow told the truth.
At this season of the year when
the question of high taxes is
aRitatinR tn public mind to a
remarkable extent. it might be a
wise idea to stop and consider
just how much ia being accom-
plished and whether the money
spent is really doing any good.
The bulk of the high tax is caused
by having up-to- date schools and
high schools. The question now
staring the taxpayers in the face
is rs the education given the
children Of the present age worth
the stupendous amount of money
it costs?" If the ansVer is mo"
then the system of education
ought to he changed. or the
school discontinued beyond the

 New Britain will no doubt be one oi
 the fields of battle because of this di-
 Nded sentiment
 Unless Ex-Congressman Lonergan
 has lost his persuasive eloauence, his
 opponent may not be able to capture the delegates if they truly represent democratic opinion. II will be re- called that MT. Lonergan spoke at Fors theater on the Sunday preced- ing his last election to congress, ap- pealing to his listeners for support so | convincingly that there was wave of Lonergan enthusiasm at the polls on the following Tuesday That was a big Lonergan day and times would have to change radically to cause a slump in his popularity hereabouts. It is expected that Mayor FitzGerald of New Haven will receive the nomi- nation for governor without opposi- tion. The Elm City executive is an astute campaigner and Is proba bly the best selection the party could make for the office. The last democratic eovernor-Simeon F. Baldwin was a New Haven man and there may be some significance to that
 Democratic leaders see in the vari- ous rivaries existing within the party a healthy sign which they in lerpret as favoring the polling of a large vote on election day. Unless contests are carried to extremes and become bitter personal warfare, leaders are always pleased to see them develop. They prove that the rank and file of. the voters will have no time to become apathetic toward the issues or the candidates. III feeling engendered by rivalries is usually dissipated prior to election day and voting the straight ticket be- general.
 In the Lonergan- -spellacy contest, as an instance, there will be times when hot headed and not altogether re- sponsible advocates of both candidates will express hostile opinions which will create feeling Of resentment in the opposite camp. This is one ot the fruits of enthusiasm and is usually forgotten before election day because the average voter wants to see the nominee of his party win even though that nominee were not his personal selection. It can also be said that neither Mir Lonergan nor MT. Spell | lacy will approve of any disparaging remarks made against each other and will be ready to work for the success of the ticket after the nomination is made.

THE PRESIDENT
 STRIKES.
1F4F


 There was no great forcefulness in the address of President Harding be- ] fore Congress yesterday on the coal and rail strikes. His words imply a threat, it's true. but the public is anxious to know what he is going to do about it if the public is made to suffer from lack of coal or trans portation.
 In few words. President Hard | ing's sentiments were that lawlessness | must cease, attempt at restraint on the part of strikers must cease, and | the public must have it's essentials. All or these sentiments have been given public expression for at least a month. Lawlessness and restraint are forbidden anyhow, what is the use of telling Congress that they must stop? The President has given voice to popular opinion, he has done nothing to see his power exercised. Possibly there Is known a way out in Washington, possibly there Is hes itancy in exercising some power which is at hand to see that unpop- ular practises are stopped, but there Is reluctancy in using 1t until the condition has become more acute.
 It appears, however that there is just about as much use in publicity proclaiming that certain practices must stop as there is in telling the neighbor's small boy to keep out of the pear tree. Unless the authorities use their power to follow up the proclamation, and do it before an ir reparabfe injury has been done to the United States, the glider words of yesterday will become a hollow mock cry that will make a laughing stock of the administration, and future ones-until there is at the helr, of America some man who can convinc- ingly wield the big stick placed in his hands by the electors of this coun- try.
 The strikes must be stopped, with all that is attendant upon them, vio- lence, intimidation, and public suf- fering. You spoke the truth there, Mir. President. Now stop them. let the blame of public opinion fall where it will, upon capital or labor, the truth will eventually out, and the public will see the truth.
 To borrow the apt vernacular of the streets, You've said it." Mir. President now try and get it"

HARTFORp's SCANDAL.

Now 1t is our turn to hold up our hands in horror From our perch Of virtue we may exclaim over what has happened In Hartford. What town that place is becoming. Gosh, any one wouldn't be sate on the streets after dark. One of the policemen of the Capital city, one Peter Dolan by name, is said to have confessed to en- tering and robbing a home-booze furnished his spells.
 After we had been thoroughly "cleaned up" and Hartford had gone into transports over the awful situ- ation that obtained in New Britain, when member of our police depart ment was the target of the shafts of the Hartford Courant, with the net result that he was convicted of hav- ing harbored a stolen automobile, the neighboring newspaper has an oppor- tunity to go into similar transports over the predicament of it's own home town The saving hand of the law descended upon Us and set us upon the straight and narrow path. Now 1t may aid in helping Hartford to the same goal At any time the Herald Is able to help the Courant in obtain ing the exemplary end of cleaning up Hartford it will do so with pleasure, providing the Courant needs our aid.
 There is some similarity between the Hartford case and the New Brit ain case. if stories being sent out are true However, 1t appears from Dolan's confession that he will be ad- judged guilty of a greater crime than was our police officer. He, it seems, will be proven a robber, ours was not so proven. Complications may ensue there may be many bootlegging activ- ities exposed. providing that the "ex- posture" is as carefully worked up as was that of New Britain. The case presents an admirable chance for the Courant to use it's powers in it's own tailiwick. Go to it, venerable sir, | we're with you.

ONE WAY TRAFFIC

Councilman David Nair has a
 scheme, so he says, for one way traf-
 fic for vehicles on Franklin Square to
 relieve the congestion at the center
 of the city. Just how his plan will achieve the desired results we are free to admit is not plain to us but it again brings up the question of one way traffic, one that is bound to bother the city of New Britain more and more as time goes on and there are a greater number of automobiles in the city. Central Square Is congested now at certain hours, every day this month sees many cars struggling for an opportunity to "get away" and the month of August is proverbially slow as car owners are at the shore and in the mountains. The spring and fall mark the periods when the heaviest traffic Is about the streets of the city.
 The city will ultimately come to one-way traffic in the center, that is certain. With over 4,0o0 autom obiles now owned in town and the number rapidly growing we are cramped for space. What will conditions be a few years from now? We shall have to take some steps to create order out ol,o creation of order involves the routing of machines along set paths that do possible. As it is we now feed our traffic into Central Square from eight different streets and allow each ma chine to go in which direction it's driver chooses. This makes numerous crossing in routes, each one of which is capable of tying up traffic for a limited time. We must, some day. route our cars so that they will pick up the stream "of traffic when coming out of side street and travel with it in a circular movement around the park until the destination or outlet from the center has been reached West Main street, Arch street, Frank lin Square and Park street might be considered through thoroughfares, with two way traffic. One way traffic on Court, Church, Chestnut and Wal nut streets might be advisable. The trafic around the park should be routed in a circular direction, north bound on the east side of the park, | south bound on the west Church and Court street should carry east bound kraffic into the center in one case out In the other and Walnut and Chest aut the west bound.

SWIMMING POOLS

Evidently the swimming pool ven,
 tnre in the North End park was q de,
 eided success despite the rather un,
 fortunate development of yesterday
 when it was found it would have 10 be
 closed, The Park Commissioners
 are planning for increased facili-
 ties at that point for another year | The pond will be so built up and | changed that q firm flat bottom will 1 be found instead Of the unevenncss of the present and the course of q brook will be altered so that there will be a more continuous supply of fresh | water running through the length of the pool. Additional buildings will be erected for use in changing clothes and several steps taken to make the pond a thoroughly enjoyable spot for a swim or paddle according to ones age or natatorial ability.
 Several thousand youngsters have used the pool this year despite the fact that the work done upon it was decidedly scant There is a trace of muddiness In the bottom where some sand was dumped and the surround ings of the pond are none too Ideal. However, the work was we'll done con- sidering the cost and there has been demonstrated that pool will be gen. erously used by men and women of several ages In addition to the ever present small boy.
 The plan to build up the pool into a better spot for water pleasures Is q most exemplary one. It should be done, it will be used without question.
 It occurs that there might also be some work done on simlarspoo at the south end of the city in the new park property there. A more copious supply of good fresh water is availa- ble than is furnished by the brook at the north end, and it is probable that itwould not require great expendi- ture to transform some of the natural pools in the south end brook into ac- cepta able swimming pools It would be a good plan for the commissioners to undertake the construction of a pool at this spot at the same time as they rebuild the other.
 It is a rather long stretch for the person who lives in the south end to travel all of the way across the city to the other park for his swim. In. doubtedly there are not many resi- dents of that section who patronize the north end pool, 1t is far. But it is certain that a pool in the south end would attract just as many from their section of the city as the other does from the northern section.
 There is now under way on the, l south end park work which will eventually give a fiat field for athletic events and recreation grounds. Not great way from where this work is being done the swimming pool work | could be carried on at the same time. A pool and an athletic field in proximi- ty would prove a com mbnation of con- 1eniences that the people of New Britain would be certain to use. By all means proceed with the work at the north end and plan for similar work in the other park.

AnoUT DOGS

mistaken idea has been created
 in this city in connection with the
 quarantine on dogs, imposed 10 re- strict the spread of rabies, The impress
 sion that mugled dog may be al-
 lowed to roam al will is wrong, mug
 zles have no standing in the quaran-
 tine order, which states that dog
 must be closely confined tto house or auarters) chained. or it accompanied
 by a responsible person, must be upon a ueash not over five feet in length IL has been found that muzzles are not adequate, Providing that a dog has been 'vaccinated" he may be al- lowed to run.
 The quarantine was imposed in this section because of the prevalence of rabies which can be spread In but one way by the infection passed from one dog to another through biting. Sew eral months ago it was known that a mad dog ran amuck through the southern section of the city He bit several oanines and probably bit sew eral more that nnve not yet been dis covered. Six dogs were killed lately upon developing rabies, 1t was not known that some of them had been bitten, and it is not known at what moment an infected dog may develop the disease and bite others
 The chance of one of the mad dened animals biting a person, child in particular, is always present, one might become inoculated with the disease through merely getting the saliva of mad animal into a small cut. Rabies are menace to people as well as dogs . The only way to insure against a spread of the disease is the locking up of all dogs or the vaccination of all dogs Vaccination renders the canine immune to the bite of a mad dog and is harmless to the animal. Providing every dog can be kept so that it will not become bitten, or rendered inn mune, rabies need not be feared.
 There is a mistaken idea that the heat causes a dog to go mad. That is not so, they go mad in any weather condition but not because of the heat. The period Of incubation of the disease may be anywhere from a week to a year that is rabies may remain un- developed in a dog that has bitten for a period of twelve months before it goes mad in turn.
 Consequently, for the general well fare, it is well to confine your dog or have him inoculated, whether you approve of the quarantine or not If your animal is nut and you care nothing for him 1t is well to think of the harm that he might do to you or your neighbors if he becomes bitten 1, and develops the disease. If he is or loved dog, by all means obey the quarantine to save him if not to protect neighbors And final- ! ly, the dog catcher might find your dog alone on the street in front of | your house or elsewhere and he has l 1t in his power to make things rather unpleasant for you.
