YALE IN NEW BRITAIN

There are certain fine, strong in fuences in every community which go toward making it better one. First of these, of course, is the influence of the church and the influence of well fare organizations of different sorts. On the social side there are also the various clubs and organizations which promote a greater and more democra- tic neighborliness which is always to be encouraged.
 The influence of Yale University in this community is strong, even though there has been no organization to fos- ter it. Many of the strong names con- nected with this city were once con- nected with Yale when the men bear ing those names were students there. Certainly few would question the splendid spirit of that great univer- sity, and few would question the ad- visibility of perpetuating it anywhere. And that is the attempt that is to be made in New Britain.
 Notices have been sent out to all Yale men in this city asking that they meet together at the New Britain club Thursday evening of this week with q view to discussing plans for continuing this Yale spirit, which is the true, democratic, American spirit, in this city. The affair is referred to not because it is a Yale plan necessar- fly, but because it is another evidence of the desire of New Britain men to keep alive one of the fine influences which should be retained as an incen- tive to continued energetic effort and inspiration to new and better ones.

IS IT POSSIBLE.

Benighted as we are, and steeped in iniquity as we are, we, in New
 Britain, have not been stripped of all
 power of sympathy and our hearts go out to the enlightened and virtuous city of Hartford at the knowledge that intoxicating beverages are being sold in the Capital City. Hartford must have been shocked out of its state of content based on the convic- ton of its own integrity and superiori- ty at the screeching headlines which told of the depths to which one of it's citizens had sunk when he sold a drink of whiskey to a member of the tried and true, not to mention blue, police force.
 Ever since the Hartford newspapers tried to impress the public with the wickedness of New Britain, ever since they painted Us in such ugly colors, we thought we had a corner on Sata- nic pastimes just as secure as the cor ner a former S4 week grocery clerk effected in Piggly Wiggly stock last week. In fact, we were becoming re- signed to the malodorous reputation which Hartford had fastened on us, and gazed almost hopeiessly on the fair and immaculate Capital of Con necticut with the same longing that a shipwrecked sailor floating about on a cabin door must experience when he sees blue ridge of land on the hor- izon. We were beginning to appreci- ate the futility of ever aspiring to Hartford's high plane of rectitude.
 To make matters worse for shiver- ing wretches who have brought stig- ma on the unsullied name of Hart ford, States Attorney Alcorn is after 'em; He is going to get" the men higher up." Then indeed shall the earth be rent and reverberations shat | ter eardrums for leagues roundabout. l
 A police scandal in Hartford!
 We are amazed.
 We are astounded.
 We are flabbergasted.

COAL COMPETITION

With great confidence Roger Bab- son declares that a restoration of the economic laws-the laws of supply and demand and competition--will give the people coal at fair price whenever the people want it, compe- tton will cure all evils in the matter of coal he insists.
 But the sort Of competition he sug- gests is competition between "closed shop" mines and "open shop" mines. All will be under the jurisdiction of a commission similar to the Interstate Commerce Commission which, he says. has helped greatly in solving our transportation problems and insuring service for the people. The miners say that closed shop mines do more eff cient work and bring better results for the people; the operators say the open shop mines are the more pro- ductive. Babson would divide all the mines into two groups, half being 'open shop half being operated as closed shop" mines. Let them com pete-remembering the commission which has power to regulate both groups. Just as long as this competi- tion exists both sides are kept on their toes" Whichever group proves more efficient that group will get most of the country's business.

GARAGE COMMISSION

It is generally recognized that a
 comparatively new phase of life has
 come to people and 10 municipalities
 as it has come to business. It has
 been brought by the development of
 the automobile, As innumerable pri-
 vate lives of individuals are affected
 by the development of the automobile and it's more general use, so business and municipalities are affected by it. It is natural, therefore, that new ar engagements have to be made or old arrangements changed, to meet these new conditions,
 Certain matters in municipal affairs have been managed always by com- mittees changing with each adminis- tration. Each administration is in- clined to bring new policies. In such cases it may be proper to have those affairs managed by committees made up of members of the common coun- cil Other matters, however, should be considered in the light of cer- tain fixed and continuing policy, such policy to change not with changing administration but with changes in the general business conditions af- fecting such matters.
 Of this latter class is the manage ment of the automobiles of the city. It is only omparatively recently that the economy and wisdom of the use of automobiles has been recognized. Latest reports have it, even, that there is some renewed use of horses by smaller communities, to take the place of the automobile Be this as it may, the management of the automo- piles of a city could be more wisely handled by commission, certain l members of which serve two years and certain others only one year, with the result that the commission would stand on its own feet, retain i knowledge and experience gained in 1 the past, and be, in measure, thing | apart from the changing administra- tions. The general use of automobiles by cities is new development in municipal activities. A new form of managing this phase should be adopt ed, and this will be found in the gar age commission plan which will be shortly adopted or rejected in the charter amendment to be presented to the committee on cities and boroughs shortly.

A Philadelphia gentleman of means and family, so it is reported, so far forgot his marital duties as to form an attachment for pretty New York model. The girl was found slain in an elaborately furnished apartment. The Philadelphia gentleman was not con- nected with tiie homicide, nor was he aware in the slightest degree that death lowered over the frail little per son who caused his heart to palpitate.
 While Investigating the tragedy, the assistant district attorney of New York City came across a clue which led to the door of the Philadelphian. For longer period than public policy necessitatcd. the assistant district at torney kept the identity of the man

Under a "cut" of the ambulance purchased for the New Britain Gener- al hospital, the Sunday "Courant" printed the following: "The above pie ture is the first published of the new ambulance bought by the New Britain General hospital" The matter is of little consequence, but for the purpose of keeping the record straight, the "Courant" should know that the pie ture was first published in any news paper in the New Britain Herald on February r of this year. Further more, the "cut" used by the "Cour- ant" was made from a photograph which the Herald obtained from the builders of the car and which was borrowed from The Herald files by the agents for the machine.
