BETTER FEELING.

The idea may be called Utopian
but even, practical men agree that g
better understanding between labor
and capital, employers and employe
would result in less unpleasantness
fewer strikes. From the news of "25
years ago" we note an item which
tells of New Britain man who, on
that day rs years ago, gathered all
his painters together bright and early
in the morning and drove them
toward Plainville where they expected
to go to work. At Plainville. how
ever. he explained that he has de-
cided to give the men an outing and
the drive was continued to Com
pounce, where the men put in a fine
day boating and swimming.
Quite probably every employer can
not take his workers on outings. Pos
sibly some employers feel outings are
not deserved by the men, or perhaps,
as in many cases, the employees have
vacations during which their pay
goes on Just the same. Under such
circumstances, of course, an employ
er, be he an individual or be 1t a
corporation. could not well afford to
give additional outings as a regular
thing. But the idea of frequent out
ings of this sort given by different
concerns through the summer, sug-
gests quite wonderful possibilities.
The joy of day off,. on pay, by
those who work for daily wages can
be appreciated only by those who
work for days wages. 1t is pleas
ant to think of the good feeling, that
must have resulted from the action of
this New Britain man % years ago,
between him and his workers. If
that spirit were more universal there
would. be fewer strikes, less unrest
indeed.

THE SWIMMING POOL.


The mayor has not abandoned hi
determination to have swimming
pool In New Britain II such thine
Is possible, This is a satisfactory
stand not only because the swimming
pool would be good thing, but also
because 1t suggests tenaclty' of pur-
pose through which all good things
are brought about In time. Moreover
clinging to the swimming pool idea
shows that 1t Is realized criticism
of one proposal In regard to 1t does
not mean a criticism of the whole
idea. The swimming pool proposed
was objected to because Of the loca-
ton selected. This by no means
meant that those DIRECTORS did not
favor a swimming pool provided a
proper location could be found.
Often when criticism is made of
a part OF a certain plan, or to the
manner in which 1t is to be carried
out, people jump at the conclusion
that the plan itself Is being con-
demned, just as when favorable or
comment is made in regard
to a certain action of body of men
or an individual, the hasty conclusion
is often reached enormously that the
body or the individual Is being
praised or criticized.
If a good swimming pool may be
arranged for at comparatively small
expense let it be done by all means.

FATAL AUTOsUGGEsTION

While Coue, the French druggist
with his theory of the power of auto
suggestion, was in this country, a GER
tain man stated that he expected not
to live beyond certain birthday. The
fact was called to Coues attention,
and he declared, If memory serves,
that possibly the mans belief that he
would die on certain day. If intense
enough, might produce a fatal auto
suggestion and the man would, In
fact, die. The man lived on, however,
which proved or disproved nothing.
Now comes a news story that man
in Bridgeport was killed by bullet
shot from weapon held in his own
hands on a day which he had pre-
viously mentioned as the day which
would bring disaster to him. One re-
port has it that the curtains to his
windows were pulled down, and this
would lead to the suspicion that he
idu pidhhth bnt dCl' ht man iil-
sisted, however, before he died, that
he was cleaning the weapon and that
the shooting was accidental.
We have heard much, not from
Coue, Of premonitions of coming evil.
No practical, scientific explanation has
been forthcoming although many of
these premonitions have seemed to
come true. But this is an entirely diff
ferent matter. If Coue is right, it is
quite possible that he would say the
Bridgeport mans fear of that day
made him suggest to his under-con-
scious mind that evil would surely
come, and that, when he held the pis-
toll il was the result of that suggestion
which made him press the trigger.
Coue says If one learning to ride
bicycle feels sure he is going to run
into a certain obstruction he will do
it. We know such, often, is the case.
Similarly, Coue might say, If a man
feels sure trouble is coming to him
on certain day. he will unconscious
ly bring that trouble upon himself.
IT is quite possible of course, that
this mans death on the day he be-
lieved trouble was coming to him. was
merely a coincidence. 1t is possible 1t
was merely case Of a man intending
TO commit suicide telling when he
would do it. and that he did commit
suicide despite his protestations that
the shooting was accidental. 1t is pos
slble. however. that Coue's autosug-
gestion had its infiuence-this. Just as
We know many things yet undreamed
e are possible

POINCARE's POSITION.

There Is one point upon which
| France is adamant--she will NOT
talk reparations settlement until Ger
| many rescinds her orders to continue
passive resistance. France will not
bow to Germany to that extent. On
| the other hand Poincare is too wise
to refuse to recognize England's an
xiety to have these matters discussed.
If Germany continues to refuse to
stop her passive resistance" and
France will not talk reparations un-
less she does. there would be created
the situation where an irresistible
, force meets an immovabe object. 1t
would seem that there was no way
out.
And yet it Is thought that there is
way out. While France will maintain
her uncompromising attitude toward
Germany Poincare may we'll see the
wisdom of placing England in a posi-
ton where she will not fear that
France will use force to change Ger
many's attitude. Poincare, in other
words, may well promise Baldwin
that France will not take advantage
of Germany's stopping of resistance,
to gain her ends. In such. a case 1t. Is
quite possible that Baldwin would
throw England's influence on Ger
many to try to persuade her to
acquiesce in Frances demands.
France will not stoop to make any
promises to Germany while she MAIN
tains her present attitude, but 1t is
possible she would promise England
enough to satisfy Prime Minister
Baldwin that, he would not be
strengthening France unduly by join
ing France in a diplomatic request for
full compliance with frances wishes
to the end that the reparations prob
lem might be settled.

CONFLICTING AUTHORITY

A new problem of conflicting au-
thority in two separate branches of
the city government has arisen
through the discussion bearing on the
power of the common council to de-
termine the maximum age at which a
supernumerary policeman may be-
come a member of the regular force.
At a recent meeting, the council re-
ceived a recommendation from the
board of police commissioner referring
to this point. The commissioners be-
lieved that a supernumerary who is
otherwise eligible should be allowed
to become regularly employed men,
Der of the department providing that
he had not reached the age of 40. The
council established the age at IS.
Whether it had the legal right to do
so is a matter which the charter does
not settle to any degree of satisfaction.
According to the charter, the COM
mon council has certain duties to
perform and certain authority. Among
these duties Is one, concerning So
the esta blishment and maintenance of
a police force *st :" Likewise, the
charter endows the board of police
commissioners with certain powers.
1t is more specific on this point, say
ing: THE board of police commits
sioners shall have the general man
agement and control of the police
department of said city, shall make
necessary rules and regulations for
the government thereof - ." Again
in the same chapter. the text reads:
THE common council may +#* do
any other lawful act to render the
police force more efficient"
There is argument on both sides but
1t would seem that the contention
of the police commissioners has the
greater weight. The charter is more
specific in outlining the duties of the
commissioners, treating the RESPONSE
bilities of the common council in ref
erence to its relation to the admins |
tration of the police department, only
In the broadcast way.

AS TO THE TARIFF

Naturally the democrats will howl
all they're worth about the low price
of agricultural products-with wheat
costing more to grow than the farm
ers can sell it for.
The republicans, when they went
into power, put the tariff away up,
saying the farmers would benefit by
plenty of protection. Prices of every
thing the farmers have to buy have
stayed high, but prices of things they
have to sell have slumped.
The republicans claim it would have
been worse yet, but for the tariff.
This doesn't satisfy the farmers, judy
ing by the Minnesota senatorial cleo
ton result.
The farm bloc leaders dictated the
tariff, insofar as agriculture was con-
cerned, so they can't arraign the re-
publicans with a very good grace, but
the democrats can. They said all
along that the tariff increases were a
bad thing.

BALANCE OF POWER

In a way. Johnson's election is
worse for the republicans than for the
democrats.
The republican administration has
policies 1t can't make them effec-
tive without house and senate ma
Jorities. K 1t hasn't got them. In both
congressional branches the indepen-
dents, of various sorts, hold the bal
ance of power. Johnson will be a
recruit for this group.
True, the independents may not
help the democrats to accomplish
anything constructive. The admin
istration could block that anyway.
But constructive accomplishment
isn't the democrats present aim. With
republican administration in office,
their games to gum the cards It's
likely they will be able to make the
independents help them do this.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE


Premier Poincare of France, in a
speech, has definitely turned down the
suggestions of Premier Baldwin of
England for Ruhr settlement.
Only very unsophisticated folk are
swallowing the story that England
and France really want the same
thing and only differ as to the best
way of accomplishing it.
The truth is that France is trying
to establish herself securely as domi-
nant continental European power and
England's trying to prevent this her
traditional policy being to keep any
European rival of her own from be-
coming too strong. It's exactly such
a situation as led to the last war.
Then it was England and Germany.
Now it's England and France.
