Time was when they were called real estate dealers. Usually there was sign upon the door, and all it said was Real Estate No two words in the language said as much in as little space. Anyone could go into the business by renting an of flee and having letter heads print ed. From then on he would have to work up confidence on the part of the public, and many of them did and grew wealthy in the process.
 Then the school Of accomplished real estate dealers arrived. These knew considerably more about the science than their predecessors, They possessed property value files were bears-or sharkS-with statis- ties: knew more than anyone else about values. They not only waited until somebody called 10 buy proper ,y. but they went out and sold the earth to ready clients with money. They bought acreage and turned them into lots, built streets and gave thrm Pullman-car names cOnstruct- rti sidewalks. and erected model ..rmcs.
 Obviously they felt above the <. hriau title of real estate dealers.
 they became realtors, belonged 10 >SociatioDs of realtors. and were kinspins of the business. Not a man belonging to the fraternity who did not think he was as good as any other professional man; indeed. many Of them were in a vastly more prosperous state than the average run of professionals.
 In spite of all this Senator Peasloy of Cheshire. chairman of the judiciary committee of the state senate. is not convinced that realtor by nature, environment and education is a professional man. If they get the title of professional while he is at the head of the com mittee it will have to he done over his dead body, or something like that The realtor professionals have

 We do not intend to discuss the relative merits or dcmcrits of a civil service system. although there has been some talk hercabouts regard ing revival of the discarded prin- ciple.

THE MARINES STAY

.Our policy in Nicaragua is rather deep. On Washington's birthday President Coolidge spoke eIoquentIy about our happy Latin American re- lations. But that hasn't anything to do with keeping the marines in Nicaragua.
 Under the Stimson agreement with the Nicaraguan leaders. the marines were to remain there to in- sure an honest election. The election has been over for some time. but the marines remain-perlaps waiting for the next election. Or perhaps they remain there to try and exter- minatc bandits or catch Generaiis- simo Sandino. who seems to be ex- cecdingly elusive.
 The other day. it will be remem- bered, the Dill amendment to the navy appropriation bill was on the
 
 tapis in Congress President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg i'm mediately swung into action to di- vest the amendment from the bill. so that the marines could remain in Nicaragua.
 The Whyfore of this is neatly stated by the Waterbury Republi- can:
 Of course We are technically at i peace with Nicaragua. Its president is reported 10 be enthusiastic about the presence of the marines. which is not surprising since he knows as well as anyone else that if he objected 10 ' 1t his job would not be worth a plug ', ged nickel And so the marines will i stay there, shooting and being shot and in the end Nicaragua will pay l for their services" by giving us a l right or way 10 build canal across the country After that the marines i will be needed 10 protect the canal and incidentally 10 police the coum- ! try.
