THE AVERAGE. MAN

4 speaker in this city inc other day ~ittingly satirized inc average man. Sinclair Lewis book "Babhtt" did the same thing. and he made quite a hi doing it. William Aiien White. the wsfi-known writer and editor Of the "Ernporia Gazrfie." loves that little middle.vestern city and fine people oi Il. Many times he has had orpcrtnni- tics 10 profit financially and other wise by leaving it to talk ID work in broad- er fields. The men Of the Rotary club snd fine other organizations there are iha men vho make up fhe city, hrlp- t8g him in every sort of good cause hc tspouscs. lia is fond Of the.H.
 And yet William White, feeling as h. 1ots toward these men. smiled approyingiy over "Babbitt.' inc critic of Inc "averaee man." and admitted ihat such criticisms "got under the skin.' Of his friends.
 Frequent comment has heem mad" here on the splendid inspiration be- hind organizations of men banded to- gether in theory at least 10 emphasize inc ideals Of life and business. The de- yelopment in recent years especially Of such groups IS calculated 10 discour- are inc reesffui=t. Where the motive is right. eleta ating. constant effort 10 approach inc standards set up can not fail 10 bring good results.
 But we are all "aycfage men," and liable to fall into the mistaken idea

"NEW BRITAIN POLITICS.

Under the above title the Hartford Courant, on Sunday. again shows its misconception of what newspaper in dependence means. An independent publication, as the Herald conceiNes it. may still be strong supporter of n candidate for office when it approves that candidate and everything con- corning his relations politically. The only difference between such indc- pendent newspaper and one violently partisan, is that the latter will sup port any candidate at all if he belongs to the party of which the newspaper is an organ, while the independent pub hcation retains the right to give its influence, great or small to the man 1t believes should have the office.
 Since the courant conceives itself to be qualified to discuss New Britain politics it undoubtedly knows that there was some talk, just after elec- tion. Of the probability of Mayor Pa cnessa's removing suporindent of charities, William Cowlishaw, from office. Mir. cowlishaw is a republican, had worked hard for his party before the election and is reported to be in disfayor with the mayor because Of personal remarks he Is reported 10 have made abou. him. Quite probably thc Courant could not understand tho Uerald's comment 10 the effect that an official having the power Of ap- poinimcnt should look at appoint men.s as purely official acts, and should ask himsclf the question, ''Nyhat would be best for tho city, eliminating my own personal prcln- dlcoe" Mir. cowlishaw has been the hcst official in the position of snpctin- trndent of charities we have had in some time. We urged his retention in office. As yet inc mayor has taken no sciion to remove him and VIC trust that he will not But mol being one of the "inner circle IS far as the demo- crats of this city have an. inner circle, we do not know what the mayors plans are.
 To enter tho field 10 conjecture it might be added that if anyone-any democrat than one who had served the city as well and as faith fully for two years as Mayor Paonessa had done, giving us the smoth, economical administration he has given New Britain, had been nominat- ed. it is quite possible that tho Herald would have supported Judge filling. believing that he. if anyone, might bring the republican leaders a greater understanding of the importance Of considering inc people of the city, rather than political interest.
 And remaining in this field of con lecture a moment longer, it Is not im- probable that if a republican candi- date for governor who would bc the boss and not tho bosscd, is selected. and if he appears 10 us 10 Dc a better man than the democratic candidate. the republican will receive tho support Of the Herald.

Ti;.lT STNSE OF HIMOR

"lf you cultivate srns" of humpr a1d the right outlook,' smiled that annual bearer Of good tiIirgs, Chaun- ccy M Depew the other day when h" was enjoying his ninrticth birthday and planning for his on"-huniredth, you won't get dyspepsia or insomnia and most of our troubles come from th.n" Then he added that remark which is not new. most Of tn" things that could upset Us if they happened, never happen"
 The subject of good health is popu- lar just now and anything about ii is worth considering. Taking Chaunccy at his word we are quite ready 10 agree with him that sense of humor and a right outlook go hand in hand with freedom from insomnia and dypcpsia But the trouble is which is the horse and which the cart? Which came first. the chicken or the egg? Are sense Of humor and a right out look the cause of freedom from bad health or are they the result of good health. Granted that a healthy per son is more apt to have a sense Of humor than is sick man, il must be granted also that it is difficult for sick man to cultimate a sense of humor or right" outlook.
 An interesting article in one Of the widely circulated magazines said the other day that certain bodily suffering formerly was attributed 10 nervous ciarcd, tte nervous condition of the mind is recognized 10 be the result of physical sickness. Ih other words nervousness is today called a symptom of disease and not the result of it, It is tho general habit. and has been so for years, to blame a person suffer- ing from nervousness for lack Of consideration Of others. Today fl is recognized by tho specialists in nerv- ous troubles that often such people arc as incapable of controlling their feelings as is the man with only one hand incapable Of grasping an article with two.
 II is quite out of a newspapers province to publish medical eGusons in its editorial columns, lt is not out of the province of n newspaper how eyer, 10 look at the human aspect Of suffering and to suggest that many people are suffering from physical disease which brings nervousness with if and that the cguyo of the crEous- ness may well be sought in tho condi- ton of tho patients body not the mind.
 And, referring to tho wise optmist Mir. Depcw, and wishing him many re- turns of the day we may surmisc that 1t is quite possible his material pos- sessions. enabling him always to have the best Of bodily care, may have had something to do with his ability to cultivate q sense Of humor and q proper outlook. And he, too. may well remember that there arc many people in inc world not as able as he to sec 10 it that no physical ailmcnt prevents them from seeing the humorous side Of the world and from viewing il properly and optimistically.

HIS STAY WAS BRIEF

An itinerant loud-mouthed "preach-
err" who toted his private meetin'
house around with him on wheels,
suddenly dropped in upon us Saturday
and opened for business on the "Old
Home" corner.
He had the voice Of fog horn and
the poison tongue of the serpent, and
what he said about things in general
and nothing in particular was filled
with venom and vituperation. He
hauled some of the preachers and So
called christians over the Goals in
great shape, and came out strong
against the Jews, claiming he had
turned down a fat job as movie pic
ture photographer at a California
studio because he would not work for
a Jew.
People got tired of his harangue
and began to telephone into Chief
Swank's office with requests to have
a quietus put on this wind-jammer.
So Charlie got busy and notified the
"Rev." that if he desired to talk furth-
er he should hire hall or move his
establishment to location where his
congregation would not block traffic.
For some reason or other the boss
of the outfit conceded with neither of
these suggestions and packed up, dis
appeared from sight and hasn't show
ed up since.
