FOLLOWING ANOTHER

The story of a republican party split impending, coming from the Washing ton Bureau of this newspaper, is in- teresting in it's indication of Senator Johnson's hat being in the ring. If We may believe what is reported or all legged to be a private letter of the Senator's, he thinks that his former strength lay in the denouncing Of cer- tain people and his present weakness in his turning toward them. Quite possibly Senator Johnson's stock is not as strong today as it has been in the past. There may be a lot of guess work about Johnson. but the theory of mathematics may be ap- piled to President Coolidge in the role of candidate for the presidential nom ination in 1924.
 President Coolidge follows the late President Harding. Looking at the latter in the light of cold reason the latter may be remembered. without the slightest disrespect.' in two aspects There was President Harding, the man and there was President Harding, the head of a certain administration. The individual was affectionstely regard ed, respected: his administration fell tss short of tie degree in which he

perhaps there were physicians in
 some of those cars, called on urgent cases to save life or prevent continued suffering Surely no human beings could keep those old tired people waiting, those children, those doctors!
 But the argument continued; boss and worker became angry. Someone from the line of automobiles investi- gated. He found there was no req son why they should be kept waiting. The drivers of the cars being told the facts, the long line of powerful auto mobiles, driven by that portion of the public started on. Boss and worker got in their way. Resolutely. angrily, the public drove on, and there in the road lay the bodies of the men who had brought this anger down upon themselves.
 This is what Governor Pinchot means when he tells the coal opera tors and the miners that their fight is not private one; that the people of the country are to be considered that the strike must not be. And this is what may happen if the public is disputants may find themselves ruined.

WHAT PINCHOT MEANS.

For long time this summer road
 has been being built between New Brit
 ain and Plainville. It was necessary to
 compel motorists to wait at certain
 places, where there was room for but
 one line of cars to travel until those coming from the other direction had passed. The people accepted this necessity good naturedly. They rec ognized its necessity, as they recog- nized the good work the contractors and the workmen were doing in lay ing this road which was so badly needed.
 Suppose, on stormy disa greeable day when the rain poured down. the boss and the "bossed workers" got into an argument at the point where a long line of cars was waiting to be allowed to pass, Suppose the man with the flag held them up and the boss paid no attention to the public waiting there to be allowed to go on. Suppose he refused to agree to what the employe wanted and the .employe refused to agree to what the boss demanded Meanwhile the people on the road had to wait. Of course they would wait for while. They did not know what the dispute was about and they believed, probably. that there was some reason why they could not go on at that moment. They had no idea that the worker and the boss would keep them waiting there in the rain and storm without cause. They, ! boss and worker. knew that pneu- 1 monia comes from getting wet: death 1 might result. There were tired chil- | dren in some of those cars. and old people who should be at home rest 1 ing after a long, necessary scys Or

JUNIOR TOWN ANGRY

Will Protest Against Banishing

 Or at least that is what the fairies should have been doing had they been about their usual program. But they weren't. They were sitting under the protecting branches of little clump Of grass and the tears from their eyes mingled with the dew drops on the green.

wss regarded personally President
 Coolidge has announced that he would
 follow the late Presidents policies.
 This Is accentuated today by the in-
 dication that President Coolidge will
 favor TO change in the yolstead law,
 for instance. So this portion of the late President-his administrative
 policies which were not altogether
 popular to say the least--is to be initiated by the present President.
 But the other side of President Harding--the personal side; the char acter of the man all admired for his homely virtues and sympathy. These characteristics have never shown themselves to belong to President Coolidge. He is the silent man of the White House." He had few intimates; he lacked personality-all this while Vice. President. He is not constitution ally fitted to follow the late President Harding in this aspect. And, had President Harding lived these would have been the traits of character that would have been his strongest assets when, and if, he went before the peo- pie seeking another term.
 President Coolidge may adhere to the late President Harding's adminis- trative policies but he lacks the the dead President would have had for his strength lay not in his policies but in his personality-a President Coolidge cannot initiate.

NAUGHTY BUT NATURAL

A dispatch from England says that some of that country's greatest doctors have decided that many children sup posed to be suffering from nervous
 disorders are often not sick at all-- merely naughty What is more we may take the liberty of adding that often such children, naughty though they be, are only natural. The learned doc tors declare that mothers are often to blame because they fuss too much when a child eats dirt, or does some other harmless little thipg like that A treatment consisting oNpaying no attention to the child who is naughty just because it wants to attract the parents attention, would be good thing sometimes, say these learned physicians.
 Naughty but natural! Which re- minds of the unusually wise old grandmother who impressed this fact upon her daughter, the mother of her grandchildren. Scene: Grandmother and her daughter and couple of her daughters. children. Said children engaged in drawing lines on the pink tinted wall paper. Mother of children rises and gasps, grabbing children.
 What are you doing?" she cries
 "Nothin'," declares the youngest.
 "See what you've done" from the pointing accusingly at the wavy lines on said pink tinted wall paper.
 Didn't do it." returns the youngest shaking her head.
 The harassed mother turns to her grandmother of the chil- dren-in distress Did you ever see such terrible children?" comes her appeal. First they mark up the beau- tiful wallpaper, then they say they haven't done anything. What shall I [ do with them?"
 The eyes of the wise old grand mother twinkle, then far-away look comes. She is seeing again the events of her own nursery, when the com- blaming mother herself was child.
 "Yes, dear" she says gently. 1T nave seen such children. You were one ,f them-and I'm pretty proud of you low as I was proud of you then. You, oo, marked up the walls, just as all children are inclined to do, and you hook your head when I accused you If it. What will you do with your title ones?' you ask.

Junior Town was asleep members of the common council of the city of New Britain had crept from their beds. sneaked into city hall and in silence had voted to order the fairies out of Walnut Hill park. Council seemed to feel that the fairies were putting too many foolish notion about sleeping in flowers and sailing to Fairyland on a moonbeam into the heads of Junior Town citizens.
 And so Mayor Paonessa, or thus tary to write letter to the Fairy Queen ordering her and her subjects out of the park. The secretary penned a brief note on little cloud of mist he found and sent it to the fairies on a passing zephyr, and thus gloom set tied over Fairyland.
 Yesterday the citizens of Junior Town held a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce rooms and expressed been interviewed by the fairies report edthat he had promised to carry the case to the very portals of city hall, and the campaign Votes for Fairies" was launched with enthusiasm.
 Therefofe in the latter part of Oc- tober, Mayor Paonessa will be relieved of his duties for "A hours.

EXCEEDING APPROPRIATIONS

There is a strictly technical wa.
 and another way of answering thu
 question has this board or depart
 ment exceeded it's appropriation 2
 The strictly technical way. whicf
 may be backed by figures, results 1T
 the negative answer after finding ou
 what that departments appropriation
 is and finding that the department
 has not spent the amount granted tc
 it..
 This sort of an answer is worthless
 of course. If board or department is allowed s5o,000 for the year and has spent only s25,0Oo in four months il has not, technically, exceeded it's ap- propriation."
 The other way to answer the ques- ton which will give true information in regard to the affairs of the depart ment, is result of examination of the amount appropriated and then a study of the amount already Spent plus the regular expenses for that department which must be met in the course of the year. If the department which has an appropriation of s50,000 has spent S25,000 in four months, and if that departments payroll alone will amount to more than the remaining i,, i,-if itS appropriation,
 These are simple matters of com whenever the question comes up whether or not a board has or will have to exceed its appropriation.
 There is the continual cry for lower taxes, or at least for no increase of taxes. Probably this feeling is pos sessed by the vast majority of the people of the city. And yet the ques- tion has been asked seriously whether or not, in fact, the taxes are high enough-and such question has been put by men of moderate, though ann pie means, not by the persons who are the most wealthy. The question has been accompanied by the state ment that the person asking it felt it was not easy to pay as high taxes as he was paying, nevertheless he was willing to pay more if the welfare or the city demanded it.
 Whatever may be the reply to that query a year, two, three years from now, the answer now must be em- 1, phatically yes, the taxes are certainly high enough now. They may not be a severe burden to the well-to-do, but | they are burden to many. But the [ real reason why boards and depart | ments should not exceed appropria- tions at this time, and why the taxes should be kept down, is that the board of finance and taxation of the city, looking after the city affairs, has determined what the city can afford to pay at tHlS IliIle. mat podfu IS the citys financial adviser; the plan of that board should be followed. When the time comes, as all hope it will when there may be more improve ments in New Britain and the taxpay- board of finance and taxation. with the city meeting board, will see to it that provision is made for those im-
