AID FROM RAILROADS

The managers of the New Eng land railroads, having assured us that they are zeaiously guarding the interests of New England, one is in- clned to ask, what difference does that make?
 The New England railroads are interested in boosting transportation, and every time an industry develops along their lines it means that much more freight to haul. This is good for
 the industries, the town where 1t
 happens to be located, and also the
 railroads. It's a general all-around
 T tickle you and you tickle me" proposition.
 The railroads of New England
 stand prepared to extend an infor- nation service 10 any prospective manufacturer elsewhere regarding the possibilities of locating all or a
 part of such an industry in New
 England. We haven't heard of many { being induced to leave the west for 1 this reason, but. there may have been
 a few. Of branch concerns, and as | sembly plants. there have been quite
 q number, topped, perhaps, by the assembly plant Of the Ford company | in Charlestown, Mass.
 1 The New England railroads are 1 not alone in this endcavor. Railroads engaged. They are as eager 10 as
 sist in building up the territories along their lines as the Chambers Of | Commerce themselves are. Every in- 1 dustry that springs up in a city means more transportation for the railroads touching it.
 For years the railroads of New | England were a detriment, rather | than an alQ, 10 New 1.n gland. 1helf
 repute had descended pretty low, and il Was common knowledge l everywhere that transportation in
 this tier of states had all but broken
 down. Now there has been a swing 1 in the other direction: freight traffic ! has been much improved; trains are ! faster; equipment is better; nobody
 any longer complains about poor service, except in the realm Of pas 1 senger traffic.
 All of which is as it should be. If 1 New England is to hold it's own in ] the tusSle for economic prosperity v the railroads need 10 help to the best of their advantage; and the
 best aid they can give is 10 continue to increase their efficiency.

One Of our civic fathers the other day gave vent to few ideas which impressed us as being we'll taken. He found fault with both the Republi- can and Democratic parties in the city, and to the best of our knowl- edge, he is not minority Of one The burden of his argument was that the city for years has been eX- crCising most remarkable financing, hurdening itself with such a load Of short term notes that a large slice Of ing the interest and repaying the notes. It amounts 10 one mill of the tax money.
 We hear much of tht pay as you go policy in Connecticut It is hard 10 enthuse over the policy so far as New Britain is concerned, because there hasn't been any such policy. When 9 mill of the tax money goes to pay for bonds the benefits of which was enjoyed years ago if would seem that We are paying for past meals. for grocery bills that long ago have been consumed.

"DJRTN" TRADES

Discussing the possibility of add Ing a foundry 10 the local trade school. various commentators yielrl- od the information that the greatest handicap in connection with induc- ing boys to take up this trade is the desire of parents not 10 have them engage in q so-called dirty" trade.
 This desire by parents is almost universal. The more education the young obtain the less urge there >''lus 10 bo to take up trade that soI~ fHn hands or which calls for the wearing Of oNeralls. Consequently He ha', aD ovorabun1ance of en- irauts into the white collar calines; and this is a condition thaf does not enhance the prosperity Of those in these callings,

ceases to know. As a matter Of fact, there are a great many men in all the trades who are well read and in- celligent, and can take part in dis cussion Of pubic issues with the man. Those who have listened to the opinions Of both classes know fully that the business man or profession al has no better ideas than many Of the men who do their work In over alls. IL isn't the overalled or citizens with soiled hands who are common ly termed Rabbits, undeserving as the term may be.
 Being a worker in Q foundry is to thousands q satisfactory method Of attaining a livelihood. It does not mean that opportunities for ad- vancement are circumscribed. The foundry worker who has energy, pep and ambition can utilize his calling as a foundation upon which to climb. By all the measurements of success, he is as capable of advancement as anyone else provided he has the re- quisite amount of ambition, which includes a willingness to sacrifice the time- consuming and enervating tton Of young people nowadays seem to regard as the first essential of life.
 All our youths do not go through | high school or through college-not by a large majority. It can readily be understood that the youth with the prospect of really high grade education will not want to be a foundryman when he graduates, nor be identified with any trade or pro- fession that does not earn him a high grade salary--at least, so is the supposition when folk are young. What the realities are may be diff ferent; but there is no use In going into too great detail. Then. what of the vast majority of boys who will obtain only an average education? These are the natural candidates for worth while trades. and it is the duintessence Of logic that they should not be afraid to go into one that soils their hands or which re- quires the donning Of oyeralls, Such trades do not shut the door 10 further advancement, either mental or material. And equally important, they provide sure method Of mak- ing a livelihood.
 In the times Of our grandmothers, problems, People were not afraid to soil their hands at honest labor; their main effort was to win q live lihood from whatever opportunities were at hand. Youths desiring to learn trades were glad to go into long apprenticeships. usually with out pay at all. There were no trade schools. Nowadays we have every thing prepared for entrants and find that q large number simply refuse to soil their hands. Yet everyone
 cannot be real estate brokers, law yers, advertisement writers, sales mems, doctors, preachers or editorial writers. Somebody must do the basic work of the world and the majority will have to be thus engaged. The wise man discovers. when he grows older, and irrespective of what his mode of livelihood is, that there is much satisfaction in doing produc- tive work that soils the hands. The parents who refuse to let their boys go into a dirty trade do not always bring about condition where their sons earn more.
