A CONNHTTEEMAN'S DUTY.

The business of city, like the
 business of state or of the United
 States, is done in committee. Mem-
 bers Of the common council commit tees are, in sense, investigators.
 They are, or they should be, repre- sentatives of the people who have sent them to the common council. They should give the other members of the committees on which they serve the benefit of the information they have on the subject under dis cussion. Too often committee mem- bers hesitate to do this fearing that they will be accused of Knocking" the individual against whom they present any evidence or fearing they will be accused of unduly favoring any person whom they support. So with favoring or disapproving any movement under discussion. Often they fear that they will be accused of having some axe to grind, one way or the other.
 Committeeman should be witnesses before the whole committee, just as the committees report is documen- tary evidence to be submitted to the final judge, the common council or, in some cases to the city meeting board. After the committeeman have testified or given to their committee what information they have. the whole committee passes upon the matter. rejecting what seems un- founded, and basing their decision upon what seems right. So the com- non council or the city meeting board. having heard the evidence and he arguments, should reject the evi-

JUDGE DAY.

When an honest, conscientious public servant dies, taking from the world the advantages of those dual- ities that are so needed in this or any other time. there comes a deep regret impersonal though it may be. William R. Day was such a man. and his death leaves another place to be filled by the sort of man for which the world is crying now more than ever before. Quiet, unassuming, he took upon himself the duties of As- sistant Secretary of State under John Sherman whose failing health threw practically all of the great responsl- bilities of that office upon him. Quiet, unassuming, he performed the duties of that office with a fidelity and loy- alty almost unnoticed by those look ing for brilliant display, but appre- ciated to the full by the men who were most deeply concerned in the affairs of this country.
 And in the same spirit he assumed ths duties of the American umpire in the Mixed Claims Commission-a spirit which brought due considera- Zion of Germany to the thoughts of Ithis true American of the studios, <aiet but efficient type.

25 Fears Ago Today
Taken from Herald of that date,

Samuel B. Harper and family are spending their vacation at Madison.
 A. c. Smith is making an extended stay with friends in Bristol.
 Martin Donnelley, clerk in F. H. Allis clothing store, is taking his va cation.
 G. H. samlow and family will spend the next few. days enjoying the sea breezes at Savin Rock.
 F. T. Hamilton leaves town tonight for a weeks vacation to be spent in New York city.
 While patrolling Church street last evening, Patrolman Hellberg dis covered the big billboard on the Cor bin property ablaze Some one was evidently out for bonfire. The of- ficer quickly extinguished the blaze.
 William G. Kinlock has returned from a few weeks sojourn at West port.
 There has been a large number of thefts of bicycles in New Britain late ly and stringent laws will be made to stop the practice. People want the legislature to enact laws similar to those covering horse thieves.
 The breaking of an axle on an ice wagon on Arch street this morning caused the wreckage of the wagon and a great deal of ice was spilled in the road
 The promoters of the cycle path between New Britain and Hartford have received the pleasing informa- ton that the Pope Mfg. Go. will don- ate $50 to the cause. It is thought that probably as much money as was raised in New Britain will be raised in Hartford.

Observations on
 We Weather

For Conn: Unsettled tonight, and Wednesday. probably local showers; moderate west and southwest winds; probably fresh on the coast.
 Conditions: The disturbance which was central over upper Michigan yes- terday morning is now passing out the St Lawrence valley. It has caused local showers during the last 24 hours in the Lake region and north ern New England. Another -distlir- bance is central this morning over Iowa. Considers bic cloudy weather prevails in the northern districts, but there is no well defined storm area from the Rocky Mts. eastward to the coast. The temperature continues about normal in nearly all districts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity generally fair weather and not much change in temperature.

dence or arguments not backed up by facts. and decide on the best in- formation that has come out. Then
 the matter should cause no All feeling. Committeeman viewed in this light and doing the proper thing after all the evidence is in should not be criti- cized for approving or disapproving some move if they have merely played their proper parts in reporting what they believe to be the truth, or all the evidence they have on the matter. .. ~
 This subject is raised because a member of the salary committee has objected to an increase fin salary of a city employe. This newspaper holds no brief for or against the commit teeman nor for or against the city employe who asked for an increase in salary. This newspaper, however, does hold a brief for any member of any committee who reports to his committee any complaints against any city employe or any words of praise of him, or who gives his committee all the information he may have which may tend to bring a greater knowledge of the situation to the committee so that it may make a wise decision. If the reports in fa- vor of or against city employe are gropndless they should be disre- garded. The point to be emphasized is that the committeeman are the ones who should hear all the evil dence obtainable in regard to mat ter which the committee must decide, and no obliquy should attach to Q member who reports the evidence in his possession. |

OUR OWN CITY.

Most people love their parents
 most parents love their children. But
 they do not go about praising par
 ents or children much as they would
 like to. They take it for granted
 people understand that they possess ffhis feeling. They do not parade 1t.
 Most New Britain people are fond
 of this city. It has so many good
 points that, to the loyal, those good points seem too obvious to emphasize. Of course, they feel, New Britain is
 a good place to live in. It is New
 Britain, their home. Isn't that evil dence sufficient to show their appre-
 citation of it? How could anyone
 suppose they would live here if it
 were not a splendid place to live in |?
 There's the point. Too much is
 taken for granted. After our con
 servative habit we are too apt to be
 silent about the merits of the city.
 The stranger in the city, looking about for place in which to start a new business for instance, may walk about quietly, making casual in- vestigation He is impressed by the city's advantages. He sees thousands of apparently oontented people going to work or engaged in it. He re- marks to himself that it is seldom manufacturing city has about it so much of the artistic. He goes to the top of Walnut Hill Park and looks over the roofs of the houses and the | manufactories of the city to the east, | then far over the hills to the west. | He is hardly able to realize that he l is in the center of a locality where | the wheels are ever turning in the production of new wealth.
 And he notes the busy stores, with their fine displays of goods, chosen to meet the needs of so many different people. He sees a great market for his wares His judgment tells him New Britain is an ideal city in many ways.
 Now he meets New Britainite to whom he shows his enthusiasm Per haps the former does not care for the city because the city does not care for him. He Knocks" Sub he realizes the advan- ftages of the city and he does not Ireaiize tha importance the stranger lmay attach to his unfounded and un- remark about New Britain. Sometimes it is a straw like this that works harm to this city of ours, driving away some person who would be desirable citizen.
 Every word said against our city 1s blow to it. Loud-shouting boost 1ng" is not thing to be desired. But the cultivation of the habit of giving the city credit for being the fine sort of municipality 1t is is to be = desired. If people all over the coun- try knew what an enthusiasm there { is for our city among the worth while people of it, the growth of New Britain and the prosperity of its peo- pie would be immediate and great No sense of modesty such as that which moves us in talking of those l of our own blood whom we love { should prevent our standing up like men and telling the world of the ad- t vantages of New Britain as a place to ] live and work and prosper in.
