\ CHILD HERO

When they are giving out medals for heroism there would seem to be an eight-year- boy among the de- serving. Few details are given of his brave deed, narrated in q short news dispatch from Georgia There was apparently no witness to his act and much must be surmised
 But when one searches for the fine things of life, for deeds that bring inspiration and evidence of the spark of latent heroism burning in human beings ready to kindle brave fire of power one notes the story of the little eight-year- -old-lad who was found by his parents. down in well, still holding to a rope in his efforts to save little ones of his own blood who were drowning. The boy was saved. The others perished.
 It is this characteristic, this splendid spirit that developed, not stunted, makes fine men and noble women. It is this spirit, which may be found in every child, that makes childhood so worthy of love and at tention-which makes it a crime against the best in life to allow child hood to be neglected.

 But legitimate concerns do not adopt suspicious means of conducting business When they, send agents or representatives to people either those agents give something Of value for the money they receive or they do not ask any money until the goods shall have been delivered. In the case of mat ters where nothing Is to be given in return for money collected, such as charities, proper credentials are at hand to be presented.

RAILROAD LABOR

The United States Railroad labor
 board will now have the duty of settling the wages of rail employees.
 II is said that although wage scales before the cut in freight rates was an- nounced, all the scales will be an- nounced simultaneously. If the scales for some classes of labor had been settled before this announcement was made, it would seem that the an- nouncement would not affect the scales for any classes of railway labor. This, because there must be a closer relation between the different scales for classes of labor, than between la bor as a whole and the rates to pre- vail.
 This deducation again leads to the conclusion that the scales of wages are meant to be independent of any decision by the interstate commerce CommlSSlOn. The laDor board llAeS what it believes is a proper wage; the commission fixes what is believed to is a proper rate. Each, theoretically, depends upon nothing outside of the consideration which affect each separ- ately.
 And yet, despite the protestation of the labor board that some wages some classes were decided upon before the announcement of the rate cut was made, it is probable that the labor board had learned, unoffi- cially, what that decision of the com mission would be. The theory of in dependence of action by the two boards is sound. but it is to be hoped that the result of the decision of each body will not bring crippling of the roads It is believed that no such in- jury will come because of the rate cut announced, taken in connection with the wage scales to be announced soon.

One admires the sight. Such devotion to duty is deserving of the Ireatest praise.

A NEW HOTEL.

Of course New Britain is going to have new hotel IL will be a modern structure. conducted as the best pres ent day hosteries are conducted. It will bring great financial profit to its packers; it will benefit the city and, subsequently, will be benefited by the city which makes possible it's first sue cess, as this city becomes more con- venient place for transacting business because of its fine, new hotel. The in creased prosperity will come automat- ically, to city and to the new enter ically, to city tnd to the new enter prise. Each will aid in the success of the other.
 New Britain would continue to prosper without the new hotel Noth- ing can prevent this Great invest ments have been made here; great profits have been made from those in vestments. They will continue to yield dividends. new hotel or no new hotel.
 But greater prosperity, such as in- creased business of merchants, indi- Tdual transactions. would come from the establishment of hotel here such as that discussed as d possibility by those talking of the plan of Mir. Fred Beoin.
 People have grown to discount ru- mors of new hotel. There have been many of them. For this reason, and because they have never materialized, people are 10th to believe that the building is going to be erected soon. But the very fact that the rumors have been so persistent shows that in the end some day, one of them will become a reality. The prospect for success of the venture are so evident that people must talk of the plan. The city will have new hotel. One of the plans suggested will be adopt ed. The latest rumor, founded on authority may be the one that will prove the last. It may not. Only one thing is sure-New Britain will have that new hotel and it will be a great success.
