SELLING TOO QUICKLY

The bankers and other big stock buyers who so ably came to the as- sStance of the stock market last week are being blamed for failing to continue their support: in other words. some Of them are said to have sold part or all of their hold ings, which naturally did not assist the market yesterday. It is curious situation. The bankers admittedly bought their blocks of securities at what are termed bargain prices. That being the case, one. would think they would be as interested as any one in retaining possession. The pos sibility is strong, therefore, that they did not go into the market with the intention of remaining there and that they intend 10 get out of it at the earliest opportunity. Their function was to save the market last week, not to maintain it's equilibrium permanently. Many people no doubt would prefer to see them stay longer; but this much seems certain, that they will be heard from again should occasion necessitate it.

ENFORCED CAiJTION

Both Connecticut and Massachu- Aetts received a demonstration over the weekend regarding what re- duces automobile fatalities In both states there was a remarkable re- duction in automobile accidents. The cause was not far to seek-the weather was of type which enforc- cd extraordinary caution. Even an ordinarily foolish driver takes it into his head that the time has come for the exercise of normal care when the roads are wet, slippery and danger ous
 It comes down to this: That be- cause it rained the greater part of the weekend, at least a dozen per sons in the two states are alive who would have been dead had the weather been favorable.
 It is not unreasonable to expect drivers to be as cautious during 'lovely weather" as they instinctive- ly become when it rains. When they do the slaughter will disappear automatically.

PETIT BURGLARIES

For the last week or two there have been petit burglaries in the city, some of them being attributed to boys. At first the inroads of the burglars were confined to certain districts. Now they have begun to spread elsewhere.
 The public. of course, expects the police to do something about them. But such wish cannot be changed to action as easily as the public would expect. The police, indeed, have made some arrests; and usually in such cases the burglars remain active until caught.
 The best manner in which to aid the police is to keep premises well guarded, to lock them up effectively when away, and to report the presence of suspicious characters to the police promptly. The police are as eager to nab marauders as the public is to see it done. Cooperation between police and public will, per haps, hasten the day when the guilty persons are privileged to say good morning" to the judge

REASONABLE REALTY

The real estate market in New Britain is quite normal. It need be scarcely pointed out that when the market is normal there are a suffi- cient number of tenements to rent to suit the renters, and a sufficient number of houses for sale to suit the buyers. The landlords and the build CTS and the owners, of course, have a different conception of what con- stitutes normalcy; but after all, the market cannot be in favor of one side all the time.
 For some time the realty market has given square deal to those who are buyers and those who are rent CTS. The total of places for rent and for sale in the Herald offer sutf1- cient evidence. There are those who claim the city, and many another city and town, has been overbuilt. Yet one sees a continuation of build ing activities in virtually every out lying section. What perhaps is more in conformity with facts is that the realty market today suits all tastes.

PUNISHING MIR. BINGHAM

Senator Bingham, who in the esti- nation of most of his colleagues, has been possessed of a superiority com- plex ever since arriving in the up- per chamber, is the first senator in 27 years to suffer a vote of con- demnation. Truly it is not a record to be proud of. Connecticut, too, feels the stigma.
 The Senate could not do otherwise in the Eyanson matter The fracture of morals and ethics was plain, and Senator Bingham virtually admitted every charge brought by his col leagues. His explanation, that his employment of MT. Eyanson was due to his zeal for the protective tariff, is small comfort to those who thought to gain by the method em- ployed.
 That the vote of condemnation was not party affair is indicated by the fact that approximately two- thirds of the senators voting for it were Republicans, some of this group belonging to the Progressive wing of the party. Considering the result from another angle, and prov ing the same thing, one finds that as many Republicans voted for the censure resolution as voted against 1t. The censure vote could not have passed on purely party lines.
 Senator Bingham cannot blame the Democrats; he also suffered at the hands of P Republicans. He must blame himself and his advisers.

VICTORY IN THE NORTHLAND

The finding of the McAlpine party of explorers for the Dominion gov ernment on Victoria Island in the Arctic Sea is a sterling victory for aerial observers.
 For two months Colonel McAlpine and his seven prospectors, who had set out in airplanes, had been un- reported and naturally grave fears were expressed for their safety. To look for such party thoughout the enormous acreage of ice and rock along the frozen upper fringe of Canada, however, will impress itself as being even more difficult than at tempting to locate the needle in the proverbial haystack. But victory perched upon the banner of the dozen or more aviators who es- saved the role of searchers.
 It is a truism to say that the use of the airplane has opened up hitherto unexplored regions in the Far North: but the airplane is equally an advantage in seeing the lost in these wastes.

HIGH NOTES FROM CHICAGO

AS a rule the news from Chicago has dealt with rum runners, beer racketeers and gunplay. A city where so much shooting originates is apt to attain a wrong impression in the world; at least, that is what loyal Chicagoans think. Chicago they tell us. may be the center of gangs, but it is also the center of the q will' spirit. Those two words, indeed, comprise the city's slogan.
 Thus we come to news of a diff ferent type from Chicago. It is pleasure 10 discuss it. Chicago now has the worlds greatest opera house. And, Chicagoans will tell all those who listen, while New York has been discussing the construction of new Metropolitan Opera House for many years, Chicago spent precious little time in discussing it's great new asset but went forward and constructed it.
 It really is something for Chica- coans 10 boast about. The opera has had a huge deficit every year: but that makes no difference in Chicago. Out that way there is something in the air besides wind.

FROM THE SIDELINES

On this day voters in various places will decide numerous issues to the best Of their ability. New Britain has been fortunate in being on the sidelines. watching the school and mayoralty ruction in Hartford with an amused stare, wondering how big a vote Norman Thomas will roll up in New York against the two major" parties, and even casting an eye toward Virginia, where the embattled Democrats are trying to show they are still in business.
 It has been a hectic campaign in most of these enumerated places and in some others too numerous to mention.
 Meanwhile New Britain in its off moments wonders who is going 10 run for mayor next spring, with mo- body knowing enough about the possibilities 10 venture into the land of prophecy. It will not make a

4 MORE EXCLUSIVE SANTA

If the Salvation Army eliminates it's numerous Santa Clauses from the downtown streets during the week before Christmas that will not mean the Army will not be prepared to accept the freewill offerings of the public. The kettles will still be in business. and it appears that the only change in prospect is that the men and women in charge of the reposi- tories of the offerings will wear the regulation Army costume. It seems to us that that will be an advantage to the cause rather than otherwise.
 It is true also that the child mind easily is confused by so many Santa Clauses in the downtown section. We have never known of child, how ever, who would not accept the ex- planation that the Army's Santa Clauses were only limitations. and that the real Santa would be heard from in the regular manner. AS matter of fact, it is more difficult to explain to an inquisitive youngster how it is possible for Santa to en- ter a house through the chimney when as often happens there is no fire place on the premises, or if so, it happens to be too small for fat Santa to utilize.
 Perhaps this is going far afeld on the Santa Claus topic, and it still is about seven weeks to Christmas. It Is not too early, however, for the real Santa Clauses-the dads who pay his bills--to save up a little spare change and once again prove that the spirit of old Santa will not be lacking.

which many able minds are brought
 to bear upon it's problems. The hush,
 hush, that has been heard so often
 by those who would have us believe
 that the prosperity of this state has
 been due to J. Henry's wizardry will not serve the boss's purpose this time. It is all too obvious that his insist ence on having a marionette of his own creation at vital post of responsibility has resulted in a hack ing at the very roots of our pros perity.
 The logical man to have been senator from Connecticut to succeed MT, Brandegee was Congressman John Q. Tilson. MT. Tilson as sena- tor would not have needed the aid of a MT. Eyanson, nor would he have truckled to the wishes of Mr oraback. IL was because he was a man of intellectual strength, politi- cal suavity, personal magnetism and one possessing experience and prestige in Washington that made him unbeholden to Mir. Roraback that the so-called boss of Connecti- cut was determined to slap him po- litically. Mr, Tilson did not become senator. due to Mr. Roraback's op- position, but he has more prestige in Washington and enjoys incalculable higher esteem, than the favorite placed in the Senate by Mir. Rora- back.
 MT Tilson in all probability would have become Vice President had it not been for the nasty opposition Of Mr. Roraback. who so manipulated the Connecticut delegates to the na- tional convention as to prevent Mr. Tilson from receiving the support of the delegation at a moment when virtually all the remainder of the nation wished to recognize the ability Of Mir. Tilson. It was MT. Roraback, too, who even manipulat- ed the Connecticut delegates against the Hoover nomination, allowing them to jump on the band wagon only at the final moment.
 Coming to later incidents, one need only refer to the Rorabackian opposition to Hugh NJ. Alcorn as as- sistant |. s. attorney general. In this his opposition again was successful, and it did not matter whether thou sands of Connecticut Republicans favored MT. Alcorn for the position.
 What does Connecticut get for such control? The commercial execu- tives of the state who have been in- clined to regard MT. Roraback as a autocrat and as some body who in the long run is an ad- to the state, now have

" i- 4hD IO N IA Editor New Britain Herald, Dear Sir.
 Being interested in the study Of the science of psychology, I was at tracted by your editorial, under the heading Psychology" That's All. l agree with the sentiments you express, regarding the explanation given by the politicians as to the cause of the stock market break.
 From that point we disagree or at least ] think you are mistaken, when you state that the late Presi- dent Wilson said that psychology was 10 blame for the stock furry. lie might have said it was psycho- logical, meaning that it could be explained by psychologists but he would never have said psychology was to blame, as that is the science that gives an explanation of our ac- tions.
 The reason that I write this let ter is due to the fact that I sug eested through the columns of your paper that reading class for the study of psychology be formed in the city and it is my honest opinion If such an idea could be brought about it would help solve many of our problems.
 Such as: That of the parent as to why their children do certain things not approved by the parent, stealing, lying, cursing, etc.
 That of industry-Why men are not content in their jobs, why they appear disloyal to the con- pany, why the company does not obtain full efficiency from their en- ployes.
