HARDWARE SITUATION

It is not wise to preach optimism if continually confronted by depressing facts It is not fair to put in gentle prediction of Digger business" if the facts, as they appear from time to time show that those predictions were too optimistic
 For these reasons it is a satisfaction 10 note that the emphasis laid in these columns on the probability of a big business in hardware at this Christ mas time. Was not out of place. It was here stated that a bigger business was looked for, and the advice 10 retailers 10 buy early from wholesalers in or der 10 prevent a shortage, was re- peated. The Hardware Age today states the Holiday trading is occupy ing the attention of jobbers and retail CTS in all the hardware markets throughout the country. Early reports indicate that the volume Of Christmas business this year will be substantially larger than 1922"
 No news to this effect comes from other lines, This fact indicates two things, namely that the early reports in the hardware industry being good stand out above those in other lines. and also that fl the hardware prospect is better this year than it was last, it is quite probable that there will be the same Digger business" in those other lines. There is no especial reason why the condition Of the peoples pocketbook should be reflected in hardware especially. If a bigger busi- ness is confidently expected in this line there Is every indication that there will be a bigger business all along the line.
 So much for the general situation throughout the country. As 10 this city significant remark was over- heard the other day. made by one in a position to know He stated that if the railroads were any criterion there was more business in New Britain than anywhere along the line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
 At this time some moderate op- iimism in New Britain appears to be justified.

THIS CouNTRy's MIssJON

Last evening in this city clergy
 man Of international reputation and international vision" Rev. $. Parkes cadman. of Brooklyn. eloqucntly ex-
 pressed his belief that this country
 would eventually become leader
 with the other Engish-speakin na- tions Of the world in bringing that
 league Of spirit and understanding
 which would display our reason for
 existence. He was no violent advocate
 of a League Of Nations as heretofore
 proposed Or as now in existence He
 did not advocate our entry into it But
 he put forward in a general way the idea that this country, more than any of inc lands where great civilizations have fourished, is in 4 position to do for the world what it has done on this continent
 The basis for his bclicr that this result is possible is that here in the United States thc existing brotherhood comes not from the bond of blood and cousanguinity. but from the bond Of common ideals The speaker was born in England. hut has lived in this country most of his life. having oc- cupied a pulpit which has become famous in the city Of Brooklyn. Of especial interest coming from this man. was the emphasizing Of the fact that a person may be fine. upstand- ing American. full of American ideals. without having been born in this country The speaker referred to the i,oasting Of ancestry by many. and told tho story of the man who. when asked who his ancestors were. declar- ed that he had none: that T am go- ing 10 bc an ancestor myself" This spirit of emphasizing what one is go- ing 10 achieve in the making of great name. is far more to he praised than the bosstiug Of what the origin stors of ones family have done and been in the past
 It is incouceieaDle that the men Uf vision in this country are blind 10 the day when the United states. by sheer power Of public opinion form /. ed out Of the vast experience Of men or all races. creeds and lands. will not dominate the world through a sane cooperation with other nations.

OI-It POST OFFICE,

The report comes that Congre ssman 1 Fcun has stated that so far as he n concerned Postmaster Delaney will continue to hold office after his term i expires until the result of the eX- animation for a new postmaster is
 announced and d suitable postmaster
 can be selected from among the eligibles, unless something unexpected occurs. He asserts that he will take
 no steps to have anyone appointed temporarily to serve in the probable short period between the end of Post master Delaney's term and the time of appointing the next postmaster.
 It is obvious that this is the proper attitude to take. Whether or not there was any implied compliment to our present postmaster in the statement, it is no more than proper that near ing the end of his term. a word of commendation of Mr, Dclaney's work in the post office should be recorded.
 The post office is usually an in- stitution which Is criticized freely, There are mail delays" there are missent letters. There are innumera- ble reasons why impatient people com plain of one thing and another which are traced to the post office. Few stop to consider whether or not the New Britain post office officials are to blame for the things with which they find fault. Those officials. especially the postmaster, set the blame just the same.
 One who has had the privilege of going through the post office here and of having the methods Of transacting business explained to him. may say without hesitation that the utmost has been done, under the postmastership Of Mr. Delaney. with the facilities at hand. The causes for complaint. the lack of more deliveries, and other things, have resulted from the fact that the postmaster has been short handed much of the time. He has not been remiss in trying to obtain authority to employ more help. He has done all in his power 10 get the l assistance that would remove the 1 cause Of what fault there has been, l The business or the post office l here has been on the in- crease. Tho men, under the urge Of 1 Mir. Delaney, have been faithful and | have worked hard. Ii is with pleas ! urethat a word is said for the present . postmaster al this time, and for the . men Of whom he has had charge.

PLANT THE SEEDS

1t is noted that the Boys Club Of this city. that organization capable Of such fine influence over the younger lads especially, is growing at the rate Of 6b members a week. Four hum dred new members have come in com paratively recently forcing out the older boys to a certain extent
 It is obvious that these lads who will no longer be active in the club are better for their experience wah it.. They have learned many things: they have been under the sort of influence that will make for better American citizenship. The younger lads coming up will eventually leave the club 10 make room for younger ones. They, in turn. will depart, better chaps for the work and the play under the right suggestive influence
 In all such orEan anizations. where members come in at an early age. as in the schools too. there lies the greatest opportunity to further the cause Of world peace that has ever appeared. The world wants peacc; each individual Of the masses wants peace. Peace will come only when general public opinion demands it all over the world. The boys now in the Boys Club; the children ia the schools: the girls in girls organizations will be the ones who. eventually. will form public opinion. The time to plant the socds is when the soil is fan- der and receptive The time to pre- pare for a great public opinion de- mandinr peace is the time when our future citizens are stiH young

DOCS DELIGHT ETC"

The facts in the Waterbury case in
 which a man has been awarded S2,650
 damages because q dog bit him are
 not available. It is to be presumed
 that the decision was just and the law was followed to the letter, But the in
 cident serves to bring up a much
 mooted question and one that has in
 trigued great minds for many years;
 What are the rights of dog"
 Now all people who have not for gotten their early training in the old red school house. if they were fortun- ate enough to attend one of these
 fascinating institutions, know that
 Dogs delight to bark and bite cause 'tis their nature to- or some thing like that. And yet the court can not take official notice of this fact, nor can courts take it for granted that all persons should realize what dogs de-
 light in, and be on guard against them. On the contrary the courts lean to the idea that q dog is supposed to be a domesticated animal and that he has been taught not to bite. Certainly, walking along the street, we do not expect every dog we encounter to make his first course Of his dinner out of a portion Of our anatomy. And we have d right. the court says, to treat dogs in this spirit of Tive and let live" A dog, in other words. is not presumed to be vicious. Now if this is true of the dogs general reputation, and if we, who do not know a particu- lar dog. have a right to believe he will not bite us, then man who acquires dog has a right to believe that he will not bite things or people he ought not to bite, And yet here is a case, presumably correctly decided, in which man was made to pay dam ages because his dog did bite another man. Where. then, do the dogs right end and his masters liability begin'
 There is a broad general principle which might be put in the few word, every dog is entitled to one bite. That, fl would seem, ends the personal l liberty Of the dog. If he has taken 1 that bite he can take no more. He loses his reputation as a kind creature and becomes a vicious one. If the dog takes the bite and gets away with 1t so that no one knows except the per ', son from whom the bite was taken, wolf and good, The dog continues to | be a kind dog and his master is not | to guard against his biting anyone. But if the dog is discovered in his crime; fl the master learns that his dog has taken his one and only legal bite, then the master is put on notice that his animal is vicious and is quite likely to be held legally liable In damages if he does not muzzle the dog and the animal takes another unpardonable sin of the dog.
 So, you who own dogs, try to find put from the faithful friend Of man shom you may love whether he has aken his bite or not, if he has taken hat bite. If he has. muzzle him or ie him up unless your love for him 8 so passionate that you are willing 0 take a chance.

WHAT'S GOING ON M THE WORLD
By CHARLES F. STEWART NEA Service Writer

Germany changed prime minister, so fast last week it was hard 10 keen up with the news.
 When Chancellor Stresemann quit President Ebert appointed pr. Hcin. rich Albert, who resigned in a day or two. Then Herr stegerwald got the job and retired in day or two more. Next pr Wilhelm Marx agreed to try it. He's doing so yet but probably won't last long.
 Under the European system. the chancellor has to have majority back Of him in the reichstag or parliament. The only way Marx can manage this is by persuading three different parties to club together. They're liable 10 split up any minute.
 It's a continuation of the attempt to have "big business" run Germany. g President Ebert himself is report cd about to retire.

LIVELY SESSION AHEAD

Congress met on Monday for what promises to be one of the most inter esting sessions in it's history.
 The last congress big republican maiority is gone. The republicans still have g majority. but the pro- grcssives" among them are so numer- ous that if they, with the Farmer-La. bor members. should fop to the dem- ocrats. as may happen on some is- sues. thc maiority would be the other way. That is. the more-or-less inde- pendents hold the balance Of power between republicans and democrats.
 This is true in both houses.
