first shot went through the heart OF
one Of the bandits, later identified
By fingerprirts as Harry Cassel. "a.
Another man was wounded and had

TEXTILE SICKNESS

Speakers at a conference in Hart
ford have analysed the industrial
situation rather thoroughly. and
we're at their most frank moments
when discussing the textile business.
Everyone-including the textile
manufacturers-agrees that the tex
tile industry is i'll. But no doctor can
be found who can do anything for
it. When the wages of textile oper-
atives in Fall River, Lawrence. Hol.
yoke and other New England cities
are quoted one is forced to wonder
what has become OF the boosted
standard.
We are efncient. yes-in every
thing except putting disabled indus

WHAT Is A GOOD PICTURE?

Public reaction to a work of art
is commonly regarded by artists as
being no criterion of actual merit.
Like in many another matter. the
public in glimpsing great art is like
ly to be guided by instinct and emo
tons, rather than by the exercise of
the specialized training that is part
Of an artists equipment.
Specialized training in art. how
ever. can go to the other extreme.
leaving out of account altogether
those human qualities which In the
end make or break regulations in
the art world.
The episode In Pittsburgh. where
the general public was allowed to
vote upon the best pictures in a dis
play at the Carnegie Institute, was
at least Illuminating as illustrating
the gulf existing between the people
and the art critics.
The popular vote on the pictures
radically differed from the vote OF a
jury of critics. But an investigation
showed that the popular vote did
not select poor specimens of art az
worthy OF esteem. On the contrary.
its taste was high. The picture Sc
lected by the public as best" was
"Margery and Little Edmund" by
Edmund c. Tarbell. who was gradu-
ated from the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts and for years was principal
OF the Corcoran School of Art in
Washington.
The title of the picture suggests
the human touch. The picture that
the jury of distinguished artists
selected as best" was an ultra
modern connection that in popular
estimation was an inhuman affront
to the eyes.
That is the weakness of art juries
and art critics the world over; they
are so imbued with technics and
specialized consideration that there
is no soul left.
New Britain herald., 1928-12-05
A MOVE OF IMPORTANCE

Suggestions made by the regis
trars of election that precincts be
established in the first, third. fifth
and sixth wards deserve the most
painstaktng consideration. 1t Is like
ly that such study will support the
contentious of the registrars.
Voters should not be forced to
wait in lines half block long, IS
was the case during the peak hours
of the recent election. Several of
our wards are unusually large. and
it is unreasonable to expect thou
sands of voters to crowd into one
polling place In each ward.
The registrars, in their letter to
the mayor. made out good case. 1t
IL filled with unanswerable logic.

MEMORIAL IN MERIDEN

Citizens of the neighboring city OF
Meriden have no great difficulty in
travelling to New Britain OCCASION
ally. They would prefer to make the
journey over the more direct Cat
hole road but can induce themselves
to wrestle with traffic on the Ber-
lin pike and get here all the same.
Once here. they cannot miss seeing
the war memorial monument in
Walnut Hill park. Many of them
have come to think that Meriden
might be able to do likewise.
The City Council Of Meriden, TAX
ing all these points into view, pass
ed a resolution authorizing the
mayor to appoint a committee to
make plans for the erection of a
memorial in Meriden. 1t is believed
that it will be finished within a year.
In due time most IL not all of the
cities Of the state will have
memorials of some kind; these
memorials may differ, according to
local desires and ideals differ: but It
is not likely that any will surpass in
dignity and site that which has been
erected in New Britain. 1t is the most
artistic memorial expression in the
state and Is likely to remain so.
