the people of New Britain want 10 buy, They try 10 display only those articles the people ask for, They do not purchase for sale the articles which will be the most easily handled by them or by their empoyes. They are there to serve the people and they make their living by serving the peo- pie we'll The better service they give, the more accurately they gauge the desires of their customers, the greater their success.
 Some of those merchants have laid in stock. or ordered stock or Christmas cards. They have ordered the kinds they think the people will want, There are big cards and little cards, because some people want big cards and others want little cards There are humorous cards and there are serious cards-cards expressing humorous thoughts, cards expressing serious thoughts.
 What are the merchants going to do with those little cards if everyone observes the request of the Postmaster and sends only cards of the larger more convenient size through the mail? Those cards of the smaller size would become q drug on the hands of the merchant. If the merchants re- fuse to purchase tho little cards and their customers ask for the little cards, will the reply "The Post Office does not want you to send the little cards through the mails satisfy those customers? Would not the reply of the customer. T help pay the salary of the Post Office employees seem to about hit the case?
 Practically it is possible, perhaps, to enclose small cards in larger en- .velopes. But under the present cir cumstances it is bit too late to dc- tate to the people what cards they shall send through their Post Office. The Express company does not urge sending small presents for the con venience of their employes-and sometimes a small, heavy package, brings the company as much revenue as large, bulky one. The people are sorry that the clerks are incon- venienced at certain times of the year and we try to grin and bear 1t as one of the disagreeable features of an otherwise pleasant job.

A DIFFERENT" CAMPAIGN

There are evidences that rather unusual stand is being taken by at least two of the Democratic candi- dates for office this year There is evi- dence of lack of comparing notes as to what they will say; evidence that men are speaking as they want to speak. It is possible, of course. that this comes from lack of thorough understanding of each other and what the other chap will say, But such sit nations are rare in politics and it is far more pleasant to believe that a spirit of real independent thought is being shown, especially marked in one instance, which augurs we'll for the sincerity of the candidates in question. This, entirely aside from the merits of the question on which the candi- dates differ.
 A few days ago Thomas J. Spell lacy, Democratic candidate for the of- flee of United States Senator, wrote frankly that he would have voted against the bonus bill in the form it was presented had he been in the Senate this year. He said the bill should have carried provision for pay ment of the bonus, and he advocated legalizing the manufacture and sale Of beer as means of producing rev. enue to pay the bonus.
 Yesterday Joseph Dutton, Democra- tic candidate for Congress, by criti- cizing his Republican opponent. F. Hart Fenn for voting against the bonus bill, implied that had he been In Congress he would have voted for the measure. One may believe that MT spellacy's stand is the proper one. or one may believe that Mir Dutton's stand is the one that should be taken opinion on that matter does not af feet the point here emphasized, Two Democratic candidates, friendly of course and each inspired by a desire to see the candidates of the party successful. have not hesitated to take opposite attitudes each. however. indi- eating desire to accomplish the one purpose, namely, the granting of the bonus to the former fighters. It is sub mle'ed that Independent thinking and speaking such as this showing inc lack Of any sort of "frame-up" is a good sign in politics.

,uNICIpAI, IMPROVEMENTS

There is to he a session of the city meeting board next Friday evening. Possibly more than a sixth of the members who should attend will be present to pass on the question of au- thorizing the issue of S1oo,o0o worth of water bonds. Only about one sixth of the membership was present at recent session of the board Possibly it would be good idea to designate some Day" such as "Go To City Meeting Board Ses- sions Day" Days" and Weeks for all causes seem to be popular
 Of course the bonds will be author- ized-that is unless someone sees a chance to make political capital out of opposing such authorization. And then no one can tell what would happen. Someone might rise to re- mark that the bonds are absolute ly necessary" but it is no time to ask the citizens to authorize the pay
 
 ment of a single cent for anything.
 It is a good time for municipali- ties to borrow money for public Improvements It has been said by Roger Babson that it is a good time for municipalities to borrow money against the day when it will be a bad time to borrow money He stated some weeks ago that progress sive cities would do ten years work in the next five years. The matter of these bonds should interest everyone who sees the necessity for public i'm provements Money will be saved the taxpayers if those having charge of municipal affairs have vision now and take advantage of the good mar ket for municipal bonds. It would do no harm to forget politics for a few minutes and consider what is best for the city which the city off cers serve more or less efficiently.

stituted authority, Thinking people agree with that philosopher in the germ of his idea which indicates that peaceful political revolt, wherein the weapons used are votes not swords is quite different from the revolt, such as that in Italy, which relies for success upon the fear of the sword. The latter establishes precedent which would leave q nation ever in danger of suf- fering from turbulence. Might" would become the dominating factor of that nations life and might" could easily pass from the hands Of men inspired by worthy ideals, as were the Fascist, into hands moved
 by motives of purely selfish and per- sonally ambitious nature.

TROLLEY LINES.

The time to emphasize a situation is when the matter is fresh in people s minds. Then, years afterward, when a similar situation comes up they will have a vivid memory of the past to guide them wisely. If, years ago, the difficulty met in getting the Connec- ticut company to lay the Pennington avenue trolley line had been properly emphasized there would be less indif- ference today when there has been a suggestion of abandoning 1t because 1t does not pay, and substituting something eke instead
 On good authority 1t is stated that the Connecticut company did not insall that line, notwithstanding promises to do so, until a bill had been pre- pared for the legislature granting a franchise to private individuals for a line which would interfere with the Connecticut company. With this bill threatening. it is said they were forced to install the line. The com pany should not be allowed to aban- don that line. Property was pur- chased. the locality developed on the implied promise of the Connecticut company, 8 beneficiary of the people as we'll as a benefactor, to run cars
 
 portation company be allowed to abandon a line with the official con- sent of the municipality unless some thing unquestionably better is offered.
 There is complaint against the jit- ney as it is run at present, because those back of the jitney system have no permanent investment which titneymen decided to quit business and go away The trolley company is 1t has laid. In them is big invest ment. Pull up those rails and the company becomes, Tn that particular, free of ties. Great credit is given the Connecticut company as a developer of territory Communities are built up about it's tracks, carrying an im- piled promise of permanence wher- ever they run. It should not be al- lowed to break that implied promise upon which people have relied.

Ireland and Her Trials.
 New. Britain. Conn.


 % October 2s, 1922. Editor, New Britain Herald:
 Dear Editor: Ef,,s
 An editorial in local paper, "Ban- dtry in Ireland" is misleading and unfair to the only Irish government in Ireland which was established In the blood of Ireland's martyred dead in 1sls and ratified by the Irish voters at two general elections. It { never has been disestablished by tho Irish voters. s'
 Dear Editor. the Savior of the world was sold for 80 pieces of silver. Is it any wonder the Independence of Ireland might be sold for English gold in these times of high finance?
 You might ask. why did 1rishnen fall for Lloyd Georges trickery? l ask, why was our one-time president backed by powerful nation en- snared by the wiles of Lloyd George? | left alone by the world that never raised it's hand in support. how a people whose head was dismayed by 1 murderous and savage invasion, how people whose heart was wrung in the wine press of grief. was de- ceived tA
 The representatives of the British empire in Ireland were mere jump ing jack of England's vicious and subtle purpose. Collins was like the present king of Egypt-England's tool. Collins was repeatedly visited in confidence by Cope, England's clever under-secretary, as was Grif- filth in his quasi-1mprisonment 1n Mount Joy. Ireland. Sacrificing her principle for any consideration is Ireland dead and buried. Her prin- ciple is her life. and yet, I have true friends of Ireland who believe Ireland is very wrong, forsooth, in not acting the formal beggar by pick ing up the bone an arrogant tyrant threw to her.
 Yes indeed, these friends would have Ireland take an oath Of ale glance to a government that has ever been 8 tyrant, and will be until the tyranny is knocked out of her by an outraged world.
 The Free State Constitution vests all Irish executive authority in the English king; makes the English king part of the Irish parliament; makes the treaty of surrender superior to the constitution itself; accepts a British governor-general and ordains that the Irish taxpayers shall pay him $50,00O a year, and in addition provide him with money flor the maintenance of his official residence and establishment preventss ':the Irish people from spending a penny of their own money without the writ ten recommendation of the English kings deputy; makes 1t compulsory for every Irish deputy or senator to swear an oath of allegiance to the English king: gives the representa- tives of the crown the right to ap- point the Irish minister's; declares that the Irish parliament shall be summoned and dissolved by the rep resentative of the crown in the name of the king; gives the English king the right to veto every Irish act of parliament by withholding his signa- ture; makes the English kings privy council superior to the supreme court of Ireland: reserves to the English crown the appointment of every judge in Ireland; gives to the Eng lish king, as head of the Irish execu- tive control over the Irish army
 Yours respectfully,
 MARTIN J. KELLY.

Dog Chief Mourner
At Funeral OF
Master

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May
IA collie dog was one Of
the chief mourners at the
funeral here yesterday of its
master, j. d. Crabb, an eleven
year-old boy, who was killed
Monday when a tunnel the boy
and his playmates had dug
caved In. The collie during the
funeral. service in the chapel
took a place under the casket,
where his howls were so fire.
auent as to interrupt the pro-
ceedings. When the casket
was placed in the hearse to be
taken to the train the dog
jumped in and all efforts to re-
move him were unavailing. He
made the trip to the station.
When the tunnel caved in
the lads mother and the dog
began digging for him at the
same moment. With the re-
moval of the body the collie was
locked up, but broke out, and
all day yesterday he remained at
the scene of the disaster, re-
fusing to be driven away.
