WILLIAM AUSTIN HOT SI.

'1f die ps well thought or and with the record Of as many kind deeds as MT House, I shall not have lived ia vain This was thc tribute paid by a business associate Co the memory Of William Austin House who died ycs- terday after nearly half a century Of life in this city. The words describe the achievement Of surccss--success in iho highest sense of tho word; the sort Of success which. if it could be the universal aim Of men and women. would bring wonderful world happi- ness, would inspire courage 10 per- severe ia every great work. and would Tighten tho path of civilization toward the goal which lies beyond the closed door of ignorance and un- eharitablencss. So great is the power of every man, rich or poor. great or humble. to do his share in the worlds work. subject to his own limitations. but held back by none in his ability to add. be it eyer SO little. 10 the wealth of the world.
 The more intimately one knew the man who has died. the more deeply comes tfs realization that he had achicyed this succoss. No one may take exactly the place occupied, but every individual who knev him may. beesuse of the memory Of his kindness and uufaitirg sympathetic inspiration, be SO much the more determined 10 win the respect of those with whom he is associated 10 display the same cheerful kiudlinass toward all that was characteristic Of William Austin House. II is with the deepest under standing of inc loss they as well as the community have sustained. that sym paihy is offered Co the family and relatives of William House. among whose friends in life ve trust pe may be numbered

The Herald has nothing against hi- cycles or those who ride them. on the contrary it would seem that in- creasad use Of the wheel would do q lot Of physical good.

Story by Bob" Russell
 Is Feature in Magazine

In the current issue of the maga- zine Success" appears story by Robert Russell, editorial writer of the New Britain Herald" It is a western story with the flavor of the ranch. Introducing 1t, the editor of Success" says: This is one of the best stories of the year. Its plot is laid up in the Rex Beach-Zane Grey-James Oliver Curwood country. It Is as inimitable in its quaint humor as George Ade at his best--or the days of Mir. Dooly and at times touches as deep chord Of sheer understanding of hu- man nature as did Mark Twain in The Jumping Frog" The title of the story is The Disciplinin' of shorty Shocks"

 Now comes news from the motor vehicle department justifyfng the comments of The Herald, and showing
 by statistics that bicycles have been involved in more accidents in the past year that have motorcycles, this being the case. probably because drivers Of motorcycles are familiar with the traffic rules. are older and more eX- perienced persons as a rule. and have d greater realization of the dangers to be met on the highways.
 Careless bicycIists," says the re- port. have proved to be greater menace on the public highways Of Connecticut this year than in any previous period for which statistics are available" This statement alone should be sufficient to emphasize the fact that the habit of careless bicycle riding is growing; the riders are not learning by experience as they should, and they are therefore making the traffic problem more difficult. Special attention should be given to this mat ter, and in every case where careless riding is observed. the police should take decided notice and warn the guilty riders gently but impressively if such rider is of tender years: and if the bicyclist is old enough to know better"
 The motor vehicle department has also, that a bicycle is a vehicle" under the law which re- quires the carrying of proper lights after dark. The bicycle is not able, perhaps to do a deal of damage to the automobile. but this fact does not make the automobilist any less anxious concerning the riders safety.

MOVIES MAY MOVE

Probably it will not make a great
 deal of difference to us personally whether or not the moving picture industry moves bodily from Los Angeles to New York. There may be a few more ambitious New England girls and boys numbered among the
 extras" if the pictures are taken in this part of the country in a place to which the walking distance from New Britain is not great-and that, of course, would 'uplift the screen" But the pictures would be just as enter taining and thrilling as they now are; the queer looking, enticing attractions of the Orient, human and otherwise, would be just as convincing" when staged within a stones throw of the Bowery as they are now, where the sets" are placed near another crowd ed city. There would be the same at mosphere of delightful mystery about the flowing gown of the Sheiks, even though said Sheiks could get to Broadway in half an hour, as there is now when those interesting gentlemen can step to a telephone in Los Angeles in the same length of time.
 But Los Angeles would not like to have those picture people go away from there" The industry is a tre- mcndous one and many thousands of people make an honest, decent living out of if, with inc result that the world is splendidly entertained by the pictures many Of which we see here and which are well worth the seeing. Los Angeles, when it comes to face the possibility of losing one of its best meal tickets. will blink it's eyes and get busy. Tt must not come to pass" will be the battle cry--and about tho most unpopular people in that part of the country will bc those who fought for the law that prohibits dancing af- ter midnight. For this was the thing that started the trouble.
 No one will disapprovc of every proper attempt to make the atmos- phere of a city more pure for breath ing. No one will denouncc those who take proper stand for decent action, and no one will excuse, publicly at least. any breach of proiriety on the | part of people Of Los Angeles or of any other city. But tho situation in JOS Angeles, where the blue laws arc becoming mighty bue--not an attrac- tive blue. either-is suggestive of in- somewhere. And there is | something rather attractive and sen- siblc about the slogan or the big movie | organizations, just adopted. 1t is a sig nificant slogan. and the significance or if justilles editorial comment in newspaper of any city in the coun. try:

THE POLITICAL MANAGER"

The worldly wise politician will
 hold up his hands in horror that any
 one today would criticize the custom
 of caudidatos for the presidency of the
 United States having a political man
 sger" Why not?" they ask. '1s this
 not the age of specialization and
 organization?" one keen observer of
 the political situation as it varies from
 day to day remarked recently that
 the selection Of Frank II. Hitchcock
 to manage the campaign of Senator Hiram Johnson for the republican nomination for the presidency is the political sensation of the hour today" With charming naiyetc he fails to see the humor. the pathetic humor, Of the situation. The political sensation" Of the day is the announcement Of the manager Of presidential candidate.
 And what arc the qualifications of this splendid manager which makes it certain that thcr, will be a fight now that he is to direct the dostinies Of d candidate? Why, he is the most astute broker in delegates in the re- cent history Of American politics d fight with Hitchcock tactics Is something which usually results in a nucleus of first choices and some understandings as to second choices when the delegates are assembled a political gtye-and-takc system that is practically in both the republican and parties from lime to time, but q system at which Mir. Hitchcock usually has been able to excel" And then comes the statement of the quali- Hcations Of (. Bascom Slemp. private secretary 10 President Coolidge. He knows the political game from the ground up and the forthcoming duel between him and Mir. Hitchcock will be worth watching. if indeed it be- comes visible to the naked eye"
 Tine sensation of the hour in poh- tics-tho naming of candidates I manager
 Even in the much critized pugilistic | game the publtc looks to the merits Of i the principal, the fighter. Tho an- nounecmcnt Of a new maaagcr or the l appointment or a manager scarcely | causes furry. On the baseball diamond | where ah astutc manager is a tree mendous asset while the contest is in progress as well as in the preparatory :. season. the manager is most import ant. But in tho final analysis. except :. in rare instances, inc worth of the team. not the manaFcr Is the only thing that can cause a sensation"
 Space forbids the pen from follow ing farther thn line of thought sug- gested Dy this announcement Of tbc reigning political sensation But it is not d pleasant pcctaclc-this anc n which the political manarsr of d sandid1te is considered oI such im- g0rtance that the bare announcement 1f his name caus.s a sensation"

George was reelected to his seat against the candidate of Baldwin's party.
 The only additional bit of news that seems necessary to mention is that, as a result of the action of the Prime Minister, things are in a pretty pass, politically, in England, and it is rather difficult to figure just how they will come out. Prime Minister Baldwin, meanwhile, will go on working with a lost prestige, and the theory of pro- tection for England is dead.
