DRAsfATIZING CRIME IN YELLOW PAPERS

Clothing banditry in the spirit ol adventure is crime by yelio" newspapers against society, When Chanm n murdered PatroLmah skeuv here one of the New York vellows referred to him as the idol of the New York undcr- world" among other pet phrases calculated to paint him as Robln Hood hero,
 A criminal should not be the idol of anyone or of any class of people What amounts to holding lip a biebwayman to emulation should be against the law; it certainly IS in bad journalistic taste.
 The use of the word "bandit' 1n- stead of "robber" and highway man" itself is questionable. At al events, it is a word that is greatly oyerdone. There IS no word oppro' brious enough to apply to a crimi' nal and readers should be given tf understand that they are outcasn of society. rather than yellow jour nal pets.

SPEED IN PLATNNILLE OF RIGHT KIND

The thousands of New Britainites who when desiring to take short automobile run" turn in the direc- tion of PlainviIle, think much of the town. PlainviIle Hooks good" to outsiders and exercises spirit Of welcoming hospitality that is credit to its inhabitants. Its resi- dents also think well of their big ger brother, New Britain. The two towns are so close that in these days of rapid automobile communi- cation the advantages of the one are shared by the other,
 Plainville showed us much speed an election day. Twelve minutes after the polls closed the Republi- ran chairman telephoned the totals into headquarters in Hartford. The Herald representative had them just as quickly. Plainville was the first town in the state to complete Ats returns. New Britain's returns were being speedily tabulated, but we couldn't equal that 12-minute stunt. They've got something on us tn Plainville which we have yet tc learn. But the New Britain returns came early enough to satisfy the most fastidious.

A CHANGE TO MAKE CONGRESS LOOK NICE

The new congress appears likely 10 possess an interesting senate. Political sharks claim that the bloc system is weakened. Senator Borah at the head of a band of Liberal Republicans" is said to be a prob able trouble maker; and Senator LaFollette and some of his cur tailed band is expected to join with Borah and any other bloc that de- srres to harass the administration. But on the whole there is a likeli- hood of more responsible party gov srnment.
 On the whole. the Coolidge ad- ministration will have a better op- portunity to perform, it is declared There will be less harping upor claims that congress is a bad actor Administration organs which havf been endeayoring to paint congress in as bad light as possible ma! get out new color of paint. In stead of efforts to make congres ss unpopular as possible we ma, expect propaganda endeavoring t show that it is highly efficient or ganization.

LESS TO WORRY ABOUT FOR THREE YEARS

On broad general principles, any prolonged upheaval like an election campaign Is detrimental to business and industry. The one just past was no different than its predecessors, Long before the political conven- lions the business world tinctured its opinion of business prospects with the observation that "this is a presidential election year." which translated into easily understood terms, meant that business would mark time until the uproar and un- Certainty was over.
 The election has overwhelmingly favored the candidate preferred by the business and conservative inter- ests of the country; they are pleased and are filled with confidence re- garding the future. This feeling of confidence" itself is an advantage Distilled into the minds of the great consuming public, it has the ten dency to unleash purse strings-and there is no greater stimulator ot business prosperity than just that
 We have to go through a period 0 uncertainty every four years; 1t i part of the American system of gov ernment. Such uncertainty in the ory should not be justified; in ac tuality, it exists, like custom 0 habit. We have three years 0 nothing to worry about before an other year Of psychological uncer tainty, and during that time it is | be hoped that no one will be dissar pointed In his or her expectations ( prosperity.
