PAINT THE SCHOOLS

It seems scarcely conceivable that this city will let it's school houses practically rot away for the lack of paint. For some reason there seems to be feeling against granting the school board the money it needs. People prate of their love of children they cry aloud from the very house. tops that they believe in giving "young America" every chance. When it comes to voting money for the schools they, these same people, look wise and talk about the great need of "economy."
 We are strong for economy in the city government. We are inclined to look with favor upon the board of finances and taxation's hesitancy over recomme nding a great issue of bonds for sewer work to benefit the taxpay- CTS of only a portion of the city and which must be paid for by the tax payers of all the city. Let the drive for economy go on.
 But anyone who calls disappearing painting the school houses economy" had better buy another lexicon from which the true definition of the word is not torn out

POLICENIEN'S DUTY

There should be no wholesale crit icism of the police department or any particular members of it, in regard to the pathetic story of the depora- ble plight of three little children whose mother was arrested, until af- ter the promised investigation is made, and then only if cause for criticism is found.
 The incident. however, suggests a practical application of the rule of responsibility of policemen which should obtain on the New Britain force as suggested in these columns recently.
 In this case a liquor charge was involved. It is quite possible that in the future, were there to continue to be vice squad" to attend to liquor case investigations, the policeman on the beat would feel, in regard to a similar case, the whole affair was a matter for such 'vice-squad" and he, the policeman. would have no busi- ness interfering. There would be dividing of responsibility, passing of the buck" which might be lone honestly.

WAR IN IRELAND

The fighting in Ireland is the wis ible breaking out of the internal trouble which had to be cured in
 some way. Medicine has been tried by Griffiths and Collins which evil dently merely suppressed the symp- toms of that trouble but which did nothing to cure it. Drastic action was necessary and the Free State leaders believed, as many lovers of Ireland believe, that nothing short of he surgeons knife would eradicate disease. Gentle remedies might have held DeNalera in check, but more than gentle remedies were needed to hold his followers and the men who, thinking as he thought, became lead CTS.
 When anyone we love is undergo ing an operation we suffer Friends of Ireland-and who is not such a friend ?-greve that the tragedy of war was necessary But friends of Ireland feel that that country would have continued to fail in health and strength under the old conditions. The only hope lies in the operation which, it is to be hoped devoutly, will be a minor one and will be over quickly. Without strong measures the Free State would have ceased to exist. All that was gained in London, all that was gained by the adoption of the treaty in Dublin and all that was gained by the recent election in which the will of the people, favoring the treaty, was plainly shown, would have been lost, Ireland as a Free State would have had a far better chance of prospering and becoming the hap py, peaceful place we long to see, than she would under the old regime. Sorrowfuly we view the sight across the water; sincerely we hope for peace and happiness in that land.

They could not perform their duties from day to day if they were affected by all the unhappiness and wrong they see. But they will not let little children suffer if they know of that suffering and a greater per sonal responsibility for conditions on their beat with greater general au- Ihority in their jurisdiction would tend to make them aware of any such unhappy conditions.

A PROPHET AT HOME

There is an ancient saying which runs to the effect that prophet is not without honor save in his own country. Often this is pathetically, even tragicaly true. The moment the "home folks" hear of a new figure in the world limelight, they remark somewhat scornfully at first: That can't be our lad. Why, he didn't amount to anything when he lived lere."
 As the lad" develops, however and s recognized over the country, the home folks" change their tune and begin to say proudly: T knew him yhen, etc, etc"
 Every great man came from some where Every man or woman who makes a success of anything has iome home folks, and probably those home folks made the same 'emarks about those who becon1e celebrities.

Reports of his success ire of interest and the wish is to be expressed that he continue in the path in which he seems to be well 5tarted.
 In regard to Mr. Basso and all others who enter field in which there is a chance that they will be- come famous, let New Britain be diff terent from other communities and let her prophets" have honor in their own as we'll as in other coun- 'ries."

DAUGHTERS DEFEAT
 MOTHERS IN GAMES
Parents Take Children's Measure Only in Drop the Handkerchief
 -Boys' Picnic

Mothers day at St. Mary's play ground yesterday was decided suc- cess as was the picnic of the school boys from St. John the Evangelist church. A large crowd of mothers and daughters, numbering in the aeighborhood of 400, visited the grounds and participated in the games and other merriment on the program
 The feature of the afternoon was
 he baseball game between the moth ITS and daughters, which was easily won by the daughters by the score of } to 2. Many exciting plays were witnessed by the large crowd of on 'ookers and enthusiasm was at it's heigth when the mothers succeeded in putting across their two runs. The batteries for the game were Mrs. Welch and Mrs. Kehoe for the moth ars and Hazel Sullivan and Mary Me Eormick for the daughters.
 Many other games were played in 4'uding spirited contests on the ten his courts, and in most every instance the daughters had the edge on the parents. The. only game that the llOlhCIS ScSlilCu u lltllel lISlI uduSIl- CTS in was Drop the Handkerchief" In this game, the idea was to have one person circle the ring and drop a handkerchief into the hand of an- other and then run to escape a fay ing from the pursuer. The mothers always managed to lay few well aimed swings on the backs of their daughters and escaped without severe punishment themselves.
 The boys games were watched with much interest by the spectators. St Tohn's nine beat St. Mary's nine in m easy manner by the score of II to 3, and in the other games that were played they about broke even
 The day seemed to be such a sue cess yesterday, that Supervisor John 0'Brien has decided to make plans to have a Fathers day, on which all the daddies of the city are invited to match their skill against their sons This is sure to draw big because of the vanity that most of the old tim ars show whenever they are spoken | of as being has -beens" Another | Mothers day will also be held with n few weeks and a larger crowd of | Nomen is expected.

paoNEssA,s ASPIRATIONS


 If Mayor Paonessa aspires to b' chosen and elected to the post 0 Lieutenant Governor of the State 0 Connecticut at the coming election r November, his ambition, 1t woul' seem, is running away with the judg ment for which we have heretofore given him credit, It appears as If ht might wish to be Lieutenant-GoN ernor. he does not deny 1t nor does hf affirm it. The boom has been launch ed, possibly it is as much of a sur. prise to him as to us, although It l. accepted by the alleged aspirant Ii is going fairly fast MT, Mayor, this jump from Mayor for few months to presiding officer of the state senate and second in command under the governor. It iS true that Mir. Paonesss has been a popular representative in the Common Council for some years 1t is true that he received a large vote, as democratic votes go in this city, but he has still to win his politi cal spurs as Mayor, to prove his worth After that will come time to talk of higher office.
 As we contemplate the character oi the boom that has started for the Mayor possible political schemes pre- sent themselves to our minds. Grant ed that the Mayor had no knowledge of the start of the agitation destined to nominate him, that his personal ambition was not responsible for it. there appears that there may be q deep laid plan to thwart the ambitions of Ex- Mayor Halloran for the congressional nomination on the part of individuals elsewhere. New Britain, it is felt, will have right to expect at least one candidate on the state or district ticket. Naturally Hartford, with it's covetousness does not wish to see this possibility By playing off Paonessa against Hallorar it might be possible to sidetrack both once, through the use of Paonessa, and Paonessa at the state convention are not too cordial it is said. Rival aspirations for prominent positions as a result, no nomination would come here-just what the powers that-be wish.
 Despite the fact that the Hartford Courarit persists in it's insnuation that the Herald is a democratic paper, as 1t often persists in assumptions that are far fetched, we have little in huence win the democratic party in the city or state. Possibly had we wish ed to blindly follow either democracy or republicanism as the Courant fol lows the matter we might be in position, with democracy at least, to dictate policy as it seems the Courant does with the state G. O. P. It is not our idea of a newspaper, however. to blindly follow anyone. whatever his politics, nor to abuse any person needlessly. We printed the news con- corning Mayor Paonessa and his boom. Our personal opinion, how ever, is that the Mayor had better postpone his aspiration until such time as it is more practical, more pos sible of realization and, if he really had no knowledge of the boom that was launched in his behalf, he had better look over the ground very carefully. Instead of a testimonial to his popularity the movement may be a plan to use him as a tool.

VETERANS ASK FOR BEER.
Disabled Soldiers League Urges Re.
 peal of Dry Laws

Philadelphia, June 29-Repeal of the dry laws or their amendment so as to permit the sale of light wines and beer, was urged in a resolution adopted at the annual convention of the National Disa bled Soldiers league. It was suggested that the revenue derived from the sale of light wines and beer could be applied advantage ously to the relief of men who were disabled in the war
 The resolution declared that the government had lost hundreds of mill lions of dollars annually through the eighteenth amendment and had in- cured unnecessary expense in the en- forcement of the Vostead act. One clause read:
 "The eighteenth amendment inter- feres with the personal liberty of each and every citizen of the United States and is, therefore, a direct contradic- tion of the principles of democracy as embodied in the constitution adopt ed by our forefathers."
