CUMULATIVE EVIDENCE.

The other day we were moved t.
| write an editorial to the effect tina
| the Republican machine in this stat
| was stirring, since there was SOM
| discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of max
| ing Judge Klett, efficient and vel
posted in law, the United States Dis
trict Attorney for the state. Incl
dentally there comes news recent,
that there are candidates for the
position, other than Judge klett and
States Attorney Alling of New Ha.
ven.
These indications that the machine
is not only stirring but is getting up
and going about Strengthening itself
are but cumulative evidence, emltha-
sizing the idea that the sending to
the general assembly Of our present
representatives and senator was an
indication that the Republican ma
chine in this state saw the necessity
of doing things" In now develops,
in the new booms for membership in
the common council, that the manu-
featuring and other interests are
determined to continue The process,
not only of stirring but also Of
doing"
Mayor Paonessa, and all he repre-
sents, as well as the Democratic
party, looms up as a menace, accord
ing to the viewpoint of the inter
ests" and the Republican machine Of
the state To put it bluntly high
brows" are being called upon to get
into politics, and the decision has
been made that New Britain shall
not again be placed in the hands of
a representative of the class Of people
who have to think twice before they
cast their vote, such thoughts CEN
tering about the matter Of represen-
tation by people who know, from
personal experience, how hard it is
to make a dollar.
We may expect to see the Repub-
lican machine very busy from now
on, attempting TO keep control Of
city which is beginning to wake UP
to the realization that because New
Britain is good place to live in and
because New Britain has been con-
sistently controlled by it, these are
no reasons why New Britain would
not be better place to live In were
it under control Of less perfected,
and less self-centered machine.

CUPID AND THE COUNCIL.

II would seem that a small inter-
loper into human affairs Familiarity
called Dan Cupid" has been making
shooting-gallery out Of the digni-
fed common council chamber. AS
everyone knows Dams ammunition
consists of arrows, his dangerous
weapon" is bow and his favorite
target is the human heart. The evil
dence which tends to establish this
fact is not the occasional button
hole bouquet worn by more or less
distinguished members of the coun-
Gil, nor the occasional dress suit that
adorns the somewhat manly form OF
member now and then. Members
blushing from the effects of recent
hair-cuts are seen frequently at ses-
sions of the council, but there is
stronger evidence of Sir Daniels
activities than this.
Such evidence comes from the pub
lie records of the city and may be
viewed by all. Take the Fifth Ward,
for instance. Three of it's council
men and an alderman have recently
bowed before the onslaughts of this
Cupid person, and have plunged
their necks into the easy or light
yoke of matrimony since taking their
seats. Perhaps this is a trivial mat
ter unworthy of the thought of seri-
Gus men-the atmosphere of the
common council as influenced by the
little matchmaker. But it would
seem, with the air of the council
chamber so full of the desire for
economy that things that have
happened there would indicate many
of the meiibers believe two can live
as cheaply as one" If this is true.
possibly il would be wise to seek fem
mime advice on the important matter
of the day---economy in city affairs.

SCHOOLS,

Possibly a city could have no more
unpleasant advertising than that
which results in temporary discon-
tinuance of its schools Bridgeport
is now having this sort Of advertis-
ing. There is no intention here to
go into a discussion of the merits
Of that matter in Bridgeport. The
intention is to emphasize the danger
toward which New Britain is headed
because of the lack of cooperation
and sympathy between the admins
tration and the school committee. On
q vital matter of this sort one may
venture the conviction that there
is blame on both sides: IL not
equal blame, at least such that
broad minded attitude on the part of
the intelligent people concerned,
would remedy. While the administra-
ton might be blamed for going too
far in its efforts to limit the powers
OF the school committee; the school

l
board Ia also 10 be censured for as
sumihg the high handed attitude that
the king can do no wrong"
II displays sad lack OF the Wis
dom, for which intelligent men arc
supposed TO be noted, for the school
committee TO refuse TO cooperate In
every possible way with those who
might be made TO see the situation
! as Il is. II the present state of af-
| fairs Is allowed to continue. neither
side being willing to give way at all,
condition similar TO that In Bridge
port might well develop--and be II
said incidentally that the more INTEL
ligence and education a person has,
the more inclined he is to explain a
problem, especially II he is sure that
his attitude is the correct one.
The school committees of New
Britain, past and present, have
brought the system here to high
degree of excellence. Those whose
knowledge OF schools and educational
matters is not expert will do well to
be careful how they interfere with
the school committees plans. On the
other hand the present school COM
mittee will fall short OF the tradi-
tional standards of such committees
II its members fail to bring the calm
wisdom of educated men to bear
upon the present problem.
Roger Babson may have advised
against building; If so it has escaped
our attention. Babson has empha-
sized the advantages of this time for
authorizing municipal bonds. Her.
bert Hoover has explained the wis
dom of stopping Federal construction
saying that all the labor is now
needed for private construction.
Building needed schools partakes
more of the nature of private than

of work that has to be done and yet,
as previously stated in these columns,
a wise school committee will go as
slowly in it's building program as
possible, while prices are high, even
though it has funds for this purpose.
And, as before pointed out, this is a
good time to authorize the bonds
as they have been authorized 1t is
a poor time to engineer the bringing

port that more schools are not need

THE NEED OF NURSES.

The New Britain hospital is the
one institution in the city, perhaps,
that is of vital Importance to every
one in it. No one may properly say
that he or she will never have need
OF it; that his or her interests are
and always will be quite outside of 1t.
For that reason the things and the
people the hospital needs to make it
efficient are of vital Importance to
all. The outstanding feature of the
recent report of the superintendent,
DR.. Reeks, and the information of
Miss Maud Traver superintendent Of
nurses, is that there will be a need
of 35 new nurses at the time the
new hospital is opened, January l.,
1924. 1t is time now that this mat
ter is given consideration by those
having the necessary qualifications
for this splendid work. 1t is time
that those having liking for nursing
and the courage to undertake this
exacting work, be encouraged to plan
to take it up when the need arises.
Since Florence Nightingale's day
women who have devoted their lives
to tending the sick, relieving their
pain and aiding in bringing cures to
the ailing, have been praised. AS
long as the ideals which now are con-
sidered fine remain in the world such
women will be admired for the good
they do in the world. There is, per-
haps, no calling to which woman
can devote herself that gives the
practical opportunity for unselish-
ness and devotion equal to that of
the profession of nursing. And the
value of the nurse is being more and
more recognized in the very practical
rewards given them, all of which
they deserve. 1t is hoped not only
that the needed number of nurses at
the hospital will be obtained, but also
that the women who respond will be
the sort who will realize fully the re-
sponsibility Of their positions.

SPRING.

Whether or not we have been MAX
ing ready for its coming, the first
day of Spring, March 81, 1923, is
here. The deeper significance of the
season is not in the vegetation which
should be developing from now on;
1t is not in the sunlight or the clouds,
the warrath or the chill of the air.
The real significance or the word, the
season, lies in the inspiration that
should come with this growing, de-
yeloping time in the life of the year.
The idea is reflected in the meaning
of the word in all its uses. Spring
carries with it always the sense Of
