PUBLICLY DISPLAYED CLOCKS

Immediately after the law was sign ed making it an ofense to show any time other than standard upon pub licly displayed clocks" this newspa per undertook to advise that such pulp liclv displayed clocks included time pieces placed in stores or offices which are, in a sense, public places especial ly for the benefit Of that portion of the public which should enter such stores or offices. It is otherwise If clock is primarily for the convenience of those privately employed. The point that would decide whether or not a clock was publicly or privately dis played, was the reason for the clocks being placed in position. As in other matters the motive was the deciding feature.
 This newspaper gave such advice for the benefit of its readers. not changing its disapproval of the law with the penalty attached. We believe still that an owner of clock should have the right-and has the right by the constitution-to display any time that owners sees fit provided he does not maIiciously create a nuisance.
 It appears that contrary advice brs

HACKING THE HIGHWAY.

The national prohibition eemmis- slaner has issued orders from Wash ingten prohibiting dry agents from blocking public highways ta apPre' bend automobiles transporting 10 New York eargaes of eantrahand that successfully elude government block ade, says q news report, 'The fed- eral prohibition director ef one state" says the order, recently in- qRired of this office as to the pro- nriety Of blocking a public highway for the purpose Of experiencing automobiles suspected Of illegal trans- p0rtation of liquor, He has been advised that such practice has not the sanction of this office and must not be resorted to-"
 This order comes from the na- tional prohibition commissioner, Those who recently held up many automobiles in this part Of conneeti- cut. without any knowledge or sus. picion that they were carrying liquor, should take notice. The act was de- nounced as one Of the sort which tend to bring disrespcct for the law, and one that should not be repeated There Is now good authority for rec beating this denunciation. If the national prohibition commissioner disapproves of blocking the highway, certainly he would not approve of violating the person of motorists who pass over the highway when there was absolutely no reason to suspect them of breaking the law.
 The same order cautioned dry agents against the use of firearms unless their use is necessary for self defense or to protect human life. Which reminds of Henry Ford's idea that the army should be called out to enforce the prohibition law. It Is far cry from Henry's peace ship idea to his latest of warlike means of law enforcement. and is typical of Henrys trend of illogical thought

A NEW HEALTH OFFICER

The board of health now has a mat ter before it of truly vital concern to every man, woman and child--every child especially-in the city. That matter is the appointment of new superintendent of health. So import ant did 1t seem to the framers of our charter that explicit requirements are given in it as to the person eligible to appointment.
 Section 4, Chapter XXV of the charter says in part: The board of health shall appoint a physician of at least two years practice, or some suitable person who has been trained in public health work and can supply proper credentials of such training, to be superintendent of health of said city"
 Thus the new appointee must be either physician of two years prac- tice, or else person trained in public health work. No person, not trained in public health work, who has had less than two years medical practice may be appointed. No person who has not had such two years practice and who cannot furnish proper credentials showing training in public health work, may be appointed. And public health work" means just that-public health work!
 Men and women may be able to struggle along under q poor admin istration of the citys affairs. They will live through it and be able to make a change when the chance comes. But men and women and children. may not be physically able to struggle along under poor health conditions. The slightest letting down in attention to these matters starts something that progresses rapidly from bad to worse and, when a cor- rection is made some of those who suffered physically may be beyond struggling any more. The appoint ment of the new superintendent should be made after careful consid- eration and thorough study of the qualifications of the applicants

It has been remarked frequently in this newspaper that the time to take note of any innovation or matter of importance is when the affair is fresh in the minds of people, in order that, when the thing is brought up again, there will be d distinct impression to remember. New Britain wanted, this year, a new dormitory for the State Normal School. It failed to get 1t and there will be a lack of accom- modations for those wishing to at tend the school Those interested in seeing the cost of attendance lowered for each pupil, and little time wasted, declare that many of the students will live outside New Britain and commute. This will not only be ex- pensive for them, but it will also cause delay and resultant loss of time. These dsagreeable features will be reflected in the work done, and the opening of the new school will not be as generally satisfactory as 1t would be if there were plenty of accomodations right here in New Britain for the students of the Nor maj.
 Those same authorities feel how ever, that if conditions here at the school are watched carefully by mem- bers of the legislature they will not be able to convince themselves with any show of reason, when the general assembly meets again, that things should he left as they are. The new dormitory is bound to come if the people of the state are properly rep resented and those representatives recognize how far short of it's pos abilities for service the Normal School in New Britain will he without a new dormitory.
 The argument this year was that there were certain institutions which had not received appropriations re- gently and they should be taken care of and at the next session the turn sksould come for the Normal school

POLITICIANS. TAXES AND THE
 coTRANT.

The venerable, and sometimes hoary. Hartford courant reminds us, in an answer to last nights reply 10 an editorial of Sunday, 10 the effect that we shall sec the effect of MT, christ's work in cutting down the state tax half million dollars when we get our next tax bill. IL also in- sinuates that democratic Mayor here may have some effect on the final taxes as he is described as hnv- ing been a factor In increasing the local tax rate. It states that indi- cations are that VIC have not kept In close enough touch with our repre- sentative, Mir. Christ.
 We heard, in fact VIC must have read In the Courtant, that the state tax was to be reduced; oh yes-but we still await our bill--and we beg to remind the Courant that Mayor Paonessa cannot bear all of the blame for a higher local tax rate any more than he may take all of the credit for a reduced one. The Com mon Council has something to say about these matters. and the Council is republican by substantial ma jority, even as was the Legislature. If we are not mistaken the board of finance also has little something to say as it makes the recommendations to the Council and city meeting board. Providing we had procured some- thing which we deem of sufficient benefit to the town to offset the ex- pense we shall not protest q higher local tax For instance, no New Britainite would have objected to paying his just share of the extra expense incurred by the state in se- curing a dormitory in which the stu dents at the new State Normal school might sleep.
 As to our failure to keep in close touch with MT. Christ-we admit we might have been closer, as close as the Courant was, for instance-if our affiliations with the state republican machine, of which MT. Christ is a part, were as strong as those of the Courant.
