THIEVES "OPEN SEASON.

This is the season of open doors. It is also the "open season" for sneak thieves. With the coming of hot weather the doors and windows Of the home are left open whenever pos sible. People sit or work at the front of the house, forgetting that the back door is open. The stranger walks in, takes whatever is in sight, and van ishes.
 There have been complaints re- gently of thefts from homes. Some of them. at least, may be attributed to sneak thieves. A point should be made to keep the back doors closed and locked or the screen doors fast ened, if the back of the house is to be left unprotected.
 This is also the season of parades. People would not be human were they to remain at the back of the house when a parade was passing the front or when they might '"hear the band" more plainly from the front or catch glimpse of the marchers.
 In the old days when circus pa rades were frequent. men used to travel with the shows and work what was called the clothes line game" They would follow the course of the parade in each town visited and would rob the clothes lines at the back of the houses while the occu- pants were at the front drawn thither 2 by the parade.
 Remember the open door season and the open season for back door thieves.

TROLLEY WORKERS CUT.

A reduction of 5.45 per cent in the men of the Connecticut company has been announced by the arbitration board.
 No very loud protest against the cut announced has been heard. The men, some of them, expected seven or eight per cent cut it is rumored The reduction was only 5.45 per cent for which they are duly thankful.
 It is significant that the attorney representing the trolley employees is quoted as saying that If there has been no substantial change in the cost of living then last years wages should continue He is also report ed to have given figures showing an average decrease in the cost of living since June, 1921, of 4 F per cent.
 One is inclined to believe that the reduction in the cost of living has bttll Sltdlcl JNdll p per cent, put, taking the figures of the attorney it will be seen that by his own reasoning the reduction in wages of 5.45 per cent was but little greater than the reduction in the cost of living And, again according to his own reasoning, such reduction in wages was nearly justified by the admitted reduction in the cost of living.
 Figures or no figures, however, we are sorry to see the cut unless, through that cut, a greater percent age of the people of the state will be benefited through the reduction in fares which, we still insist would bring greater patronage and greater goodwill, the parent Of patronage, to the Connecticut company.

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS.

The dispatch from Moscow stating that the number of Soviet Russia s newspapers has been reduced Curing the past year from S63 to 3S2. is sig nificant These papers are govern ment controlled.
 The reducing of the number has a distinct bearing upon the fact that the papers are government controlled. And the fact that the papers in Rus sia, together with the opinion of leaders there that freedom of the press could not be permitted at all times" explains somewhat the reason for the general chaotic conditions in Russia.
 One would not make the broad statement that if there were freedom of the press in that country, affairs would right themselves immediately.
New Britain herald., 1922-06-15

to their profession, The same remark applies to New Britain doctors, to New Britain merchants, to New Britain lawyers
 But the matter of the dental clinic should no more he left in the hands of New Britain dentists, than should New Britain health matters be left in the hands of New Britain physicians, New Britain legal matters in the hands Of New Britain lawyers, nor the citys business in the hands Of the city's business men
 The dental clinic is part or the health affairs of the city, Primarily the dental clinic matters should be in the hands of the New Britain health officials. Those officials should consult and cooperate with the den- lists, just as others officials should gain all the help possible from eN- perts in the handling of business that comes within their jurisdiction,
 But the dentists should not dictate the policy of the dental clinic abso- lutely. The dental clinic Is a city af- fair, now. The school board should not have entire authority in regard to it's policy, any more than any other body of men. The clinic is not for the school children alone, although it will benefit them more than 1t will help any one other class.
 The dentists of the city, and the physicians, know better than anyone else, unless it is the Superintendent of Health, the close relationship be- tween the condition of the teeth and general physical condition. The city should control the policy of the dental clinic, with utmost respect for the opinion of the dentists-but the con- trol should be in the city.

THE LOCAL STRIKE.

A peculiar feeling comes at first with the news that so men working for the city have gone on strike, de- manding d Saturday half-holiday, with pay. through the summer, A persor who has been honestly concerned during the past months, over the un- employment situation, is at once glad that the labor situation is such that eighty men can afford to strike. Work must be plentiful, is the feeling; there can be little suffering from unemploy- nent: men must be pretty sure of be- ing able to get jobs anywhere if they can run the risk of having this city work shut down because of their ac- ton in striking.
 Then comes another feeling, rather different from one of satisfaction that there is little danger of suffering from unemployment. How about last win ter? Were any of these men who are now striking, assisted by the city last winter? Did any of them get jobs from the municipal employment bureau which was established in or der to find work for all that needed 1t? Were any of these men now strik- ing aided by the efforts made by citi- zens of New Britain and welfare or ganizations, either through material assistance or through the efforts of public spirited people to find work for them?
 Comes also the recollection that the city authorized bonds for street work, when the city and its advisors knew this was poor business, merely for the sake of giving work to the unem- ployed Did any of these men now striking benefit by this action of the city in adopting what was recognized to be a poor business policy for the sake of people here who did not have work? And if any of the men now on strike were so helped, do they realize that New Britain was one of the first of the cities of the country to take steps to give work to it's unemployed in that distressing time?
 The Herald favored every move suggested to give work to the unem- ployed at that time when work was scarce. This newspaper believes in doing everything to make the lives of the employed as happy and prosper GUS as possible. And The Herald won ders if men do not feel there is some, thing due this city from them, when it is remembered that the city strained all it's resources to give work to the unemployed at time when it was hard to get work

CLAYTON CROSSING

The railroad committee of the com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow evening to take steps to se- cure the abolishment of the grade crossing at Clayton.
 The committee should show by an important it considers immediate re- suits. Each day brings danger to the public. Delay, delay. nothing but de- lay has marked consideration of this matter. Let that delay stop. Communi cations should be sent by wire not by letter, if it is necessary to communi- cate with anyone regarding co-opera- tion in this matter.
 There has been the suggestion made of new connecting road which would make it unnecessary to cross the tracks at this dangerous point It is a good plan to consider the advisa- bility of such scheme. But this com mittee has another job,
 That road and a consideration of 1t is no part of the duty of this railroad committee of the council. The propos- ing of building this new road should not be made an excuse by the com , mittee for delaying its attempt to abolish the grade crossing. New roa q or no new road, there will be danger at that crossing as long as it exists at grade. The new road would divert much traffic over the crossing But the tracks will have to be crossed at that point by some people living in that neighborhood: it will be crossed by travellers who do not know of it's dangers.
 The duty of the railroad committee is to try to have that Clayton crossing made safe. It should go at that job as quickly as possible and should get results as quickly as possible. That should be it's only concern. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with that business.

WEEKS DEPLORING
 PRESENT POLITICS
Fears General Breakdown in J. s.
 Political System

Cleveland, June IS. frankly pessimistic view of some of the pre- dominant tendencies of American po- litical thought was voiced today by Secretary Weeks at the commence ment exercises of Western Reserve university. He declared the drift ol recent years was gradually weaken ing the nations governmental struc- ture by undermining the constitution and sweeping away the principles oi party responsibility. The direct pri- mary, bloc" agitation and the coun- trys readiness to accept constitutional amendments were instanted by the speaker as furnishing evidence thai the government was heading away from its ancient safeguards and to- ward complete social democracy
 As one result, he asserted in the public mind 'the legislative branch of our national government probably never has been at lower ebb than 1t is today"
 Hits Direct Primary
 .'The direct primary" he continued, has so pabably lessened the quality of men willing to serve in public af- fairs that prompt action should be taken to greatly modify or entirely repeal it.
 Turning to the bloc movement in politics, MT. Weeks declared that when a party comes into power prom ising to do certain things and then finds that groups break away from party allegiance whenever their own interests seem to be directly involved, there is an end to responsibility in government"
 Opposes Amendments
 In it's attempts to improve upon the work of the fathers by amending the constitution, the secretary, the coun- try had failed signally."
 He added that in the matter of popular elections i've have run riot" and he suggested that much of the present unrest and uncertainty seem- ed to center in taxation and prohibi- tion.
 By way of preface, the secretary said his philosophizing applied to no particular party and that he spoke not as a government official but as a pri- vate citizen exercising his privilege of free speech. He said he was tempted to entitle his address "The decline of the American government"
New Britain herald., 1922-06-15

Such statement would be ridiculous Hut the declaration may be made safely that frank, fearless press does much 10 bring honest government to any country.
 If 1t Is possible 10 imagine the United States without any newspapers free from government control let thought be given such n situation, What would not National politicians" dare do? Imagine city even In this country. which did not have any pub licity organ free to criticize the city government What would be done With tho freedom which would come to those in charge of its affairs? To- day, probably, after generations of regard for public opinion as eX- pressed through the press, public of- ficias might, of course, run govern ments pretty we'll even though there should come a short time when the press were lo De IIlHNHleu, put hliON this condition to exist long time even few months-and there would come into office and into power men who would take advantage of the free com from criticism that would be theirs, to do anything they chose with government matters, the people money. the peoples rights.
 Moreover the number of newspa- pers in a country where they were all controlled by the government, would decrease rapidly. People would not buy and read paper at all, if they knew that there would be found nothing in that paper which had not passed the censors of the government.
 There would seem to be little hope for enlightenment in Russia as long as the press is government controlled. In this situation may be seen the loots of much that is otherwise in applicable about Russia.
