OLD-FASHIONED HONESTY,

We are inclined 10 smile in a su- perior sort of way at the man who keeps office stamps" or those to be used for the business of his employer as distinguished from his personal correspondence. in separate place so that he will not, by chance, use his empI0er's stamps for his own private affsirs. So it seems carrying the thing too far when we find an office worker never using his eni- ployer's stationery for his own let-
 ters. The man who puts the change from a bill someone has given him

TIE D0RAIITORY.

IL is quite natural that an exeeu-
 tive, seeking to keep down the
 amounts of money authorized by the
 political division Of which he is the
 head, should depreeate as many
 planned expenditures as possible in
 the hope that enough Of them will
 be withheld 10 accomplish his pur-
 pose. And, Of course. such exeeu- lives motives are the best, He wants 10 save money; he would keep down taxes. or course, also. he will gain a reputation for trying to do this, whether the desire for such repu- tation is the inspiring motive or not. No executive should be criticised especially at this time, for economy
 But withholding a dormitory from a great State school even temporarily is much like refusing to permit the appropriation of money for pipe through which water Is to be pumped into new reservoir which will fur nish water 10 the thirsty. or course the pipe would be laid eventually, for people will always need water, but a delay in completing it would delay giving the people to be bene- fited by it that which they need, and in the meantime much water would bs diverted to other uses--and the people would remain thirsty.
 Tn new State Normal school in New Britain will need that new dormitory the moment it is opened. Many young women. planning to enter, will not be able to do so, prob ably, because of lack of such build ing. There is cry for more teach CTS. Education is being held up as the panacea for many of the worlds troubles. If an appropriation for the dormitory is not forthcoming those who oppose it will not be injuring New Britain as much as they will be injuring the people of the whole state who are looking to the great institution to develop teachers capa- ble of preparing the young children of today to be the intelligent citizens of tomorrow upon whose right-think- ing and wisdom the future of the state depends.

JAII-NO DISGRACE?

1 Thoughtful people begin to won
 der if the time is coming when i will not be considered a disgrace tc be sent to jail. Certainly if break | ing new laws-not now on tho statute books, fortunately-is uni
 versal because of general disap. 1 prova of such new laws, there vii be a feeling that there is no dis grace in being sent to jail for vio- l lating one of those new laws. From this situation it would not be a long step to a condition where many peo- pie would feel it no disgrace to be sent to prison for violating other laws. In other words the general disregard for all law would become common.
 This thought is suggested by the
 news that certain society," men in
 New York have been given jail sen
 tences for conspiracy to violate the
 Volstead act. There was Iinner at
 which wine was served. It was-h held
 in one of the fashionable clubs in
 the metropolis. Some disgrace may
 attach in the publie's mind to some
 of the men sentenced because of
 some of the matters proven. But it is safe to say that many of the
 friends of those men, considered at least reputable citizens, will not look down upon them merely because they gave a dinner where wine was served. The person who buys liquor to serve does conspire to violate the volstead act probably. He might be sent to jail, perhaps. Would he be disgraced in the opinion of a major ity of his friends-a majority of the people of this country?
 Again it must be asserted for fear of misunderstanding, that every law on the statute books should be en- forced if possible. We insist upon this declaration of propriety. But incidents such as this in New York l are calculated to make even the l most firm believers in prohibition | think seriously Of the present condi- | ton of affairs and ask the question | of the sincere advocate of the Vol stead law: "Quo Nadis?"

 As it relates to that extraordinary character for whom We had the honor of voting in 1860, it may be said, he stands out in the pages of the worlds history as character without fupli- cate, He was great without knowing it He was wise above many without consciousness Of ii, There was strength in his weakness His unsel- fishness was wealth to the poor and oppressed.

Taxes.

1aNeS.
 Editor Herald:
 Dear Sir-I would like little space to say few words about our taxes
 As you know. the majority of oui citizens are factory workers, and are paid by the hour. When they are sick or out for any reason they lose money or when a depression comes they have to live accordingly, and deny themselves and families the very necessities of life, as you see by an investigation of the children absent from school showed many cases that | the reason was lack of proper clothing and shoes. Why should these men whose children are unable to go to school as above stated pay more taxes than last year or more rent which will follow?
 Compare Hartford and our city. Taxes in Hartford are 2l mills and here 25 mills, if those outsiders who are running our city have their way. By outsiders l mean our superinten- dent of schools, who is here today and gone tomorrow, and who is the whole school board.
 What we need in this city is more men like the the late F. $. McMahon, who have the interest of the city at heart and who will be here through thick and thin and not fly away if things do not suit them
 What we should have is a reduc- ton in pay of all our city employees and by the way, I see no one opposing the raises that went through lately What every man and woman should do now is to get after the aldermen and councilmen, and also the mayor, and tell them where they stand. If they don't taxes and rents are going to be higher.
 The factory people have been cut 25 and 30 per cent and have received very little back, and now they are asked to pay these city employees more money who have never been cut. This includes our superintendent of schools, who is to receive $500 | raise, making his salary s6,000 a year. Imagine this salary in a workingman | city where children can't go to school i for lack of shoes. It would be a good thing for our finance board to go to Hartford and get few pointers.
 Now it is up to the people to get | busy, like in Hartford, where pe- tition was signed by 4,000 working men for lower taxes. Don't sit back and let George do it. The firemen should be also cut 25 per cent if the .wo platoon system goes into effect
 Thanking you for this space, am,
 A ROCKINGHAM.

to make a purchase, in a place swas
 from his ewR money, seems nnduly
 careful, and so on, Such actions are
 calculated to make the skeptie smile
 eynieally and suggest that the actions
 af such careful persons are more for
 show than because of any fear of misappropriating funds or property of others,
 Today from many sources come the statements that the world would he a lot better Of were old-fashioned honesty to prevail, One economic expert has gone as far as to state that lhe world will not get hack to fun prosperity until this old- fashioned square dealing between man and man becomes more univer. sal, until the spirit of religion means something as il used.
 Just following the anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln a little aneedote concerning him and his honesty is worth emphasizing. All of us can not initiate him in his sefat power Of vision, in every phase of his greatness, but certainly all of us can feel the spirit of the motive which prompted him to put away, in an old trunk where 1t remained for years until a government official called for it. the ST which remained in his hands, belonging to the gov. ernment after the post office Of which he had charge was closed.
 The habit which many have ac- quired Of using temporarily property not their own. such as little articles lying about the house. perhaps. is a letting down Of the bars against dis regard of the rights of others which | has assumed great proportions. Old fashioned honesty is a pretty good | thing even though carried to ex- tremes.

THE PEOPLE SEEK AID.

The action of the people in peti- cut company for iitney service be- tween New Britain and Hartford, via the Stanley quarter and Elmwood, is significant. Quite honestly it is ex- pained that the residents of Belvi- dere have wanted a continuation of the north end trolley route and, this not being found necessary by the company. they now ask the company to put in a bus service.
 It is quite possible that the insti- gators of this movement see in the Connecticut company the logical or- ganization to which such an appeal should be made, and there is no hint here Intended that they were not correct in this assumption. In fact a glance at events of the past re- garding transportation would sug- gest that such appellants were un- usually wise and far-sighted.
 The significant point is, however. that it does seem wise to appeal to a corporation instead of to the pub lie utilities commission. The latter body is supposed to be the one to which complaints Of lack of service should be made. It is matter of record that frequent complaints have been made to it. and frequent re- quests presented to it. Now along comes a group Of people. wise in |neir generation. Nhich appeals not
