ILLNESS TAKES A HAND

Being a candidate for d major of- fee and taking a leading part in attempting to WOO the tickle public seems to be 8 nerve wracking job. The expenditure of energy demand ed and the inevitable loss of sleep puts the system in condition of fering a minimum of resistance to the onslaughts of disease.
 Mir. Quigley, from the first waging a royal battle during spirited primary, and imp ediately following this up with eveh a more spirited battle during the election campaign terminating tomorrow, has fallen victim to the pitfalls that nature lay along his path.
 The city is sorry indeed that this should have occurred. The Republi- can candidate is forced to forego the direction of his campaign at its climax, and instead of participating in the election fate is likely to pre- vent him from even casting his bal lot at the polls.
 The issues remain as they were before his illness. Although the per sonalities and temperaments os Me.srs. McDonough and QuigIey enter strongly into the campaign. after all it is their policies that are at least equally important.
 Voters have been quite thoroughly advised, prior to Mir. Quigley's ill- ness, as to what the candidates stand for and what policies they in- tended to pursue, or try to pursue, if elected. Even should the verbal barrage stop short, voters will not be short of information upon which to base an intelligent decision.
 The city will hope for the speedy recovery of the colorful MT. Quig- ley. Meanwhile everything is set for large turnout Of voters who will not forget that policies and not personality must be the guiding star in choosing a new Mayor.

OUR METROPOLITAN DISTRICT

New Britain has an unofficial metropolitan district. Unlike the Hartford metropolitan district, ours is only unofficial.
 There is no burning desire to turn it into an official metropolitan district
 Hartford, glowing with pride, has an official metropolitan district. The compound noun sounds as big as the district. The thing sounds big, bus size is no guarantee of comfort.
 Ever since the Hartford corpora ton counsel announced that the Hartford water works now belongs 10 the metropolitan district, there has been a tendency to look at the district with misgivings The towns which agreed to enter the district on the other hand, chuckle with satisfaction, They get joint control of something which they formerly didn't possess. Instead of being SUD- plicants at the Hartford banquet they now are lined up at the speak CTS table.
 New Britain's unofficial metropoli- tan district, for all practical pur- poses. is as secure as if the Legis lature passed a special act about it and the towns in the New Britain district voted tavorably on the i 'propolition."
 Our unofficial metropolitan district runs to Berlin, kensington, nearly to Newington, part way to Farming ton, Plainville, Forestville and be yond; also somewhere toward Meri- den. That is our trading area, and il is no mean slice of territory.
 The city is proud of this unoffi- cal district. and the territory enumerated looks to New Britain as it's big brother.
 1 We have no desire to meddie in the private affairs of these towns 1 but we stand ready to assist the dis trict in any honorable and business l like manner.
 Good will is paramount, and it is mutual.
 This idea of an official metropoli- tan district, such as Hartford has which is designed primarily 10 make the capital city look more import ant in the eyes of that part of the l world which ever notices the district does not appeal to New Britain as yet.
 1 The best way to get along with tho | neighbors is 10 mind ones own l business.

MORE PRECINCTS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

The city election tomorrow will be the first in which four new pre- cincts to the six wards will be utilized That, too, is progress.
 After the experience at the last presidential election. when hun dreds of voters were forced d o7 stand in long lines before some of the voting precincts, the progress and convenience now had will be much appreciated.
 It will no longer be necessary for some voters in the first ward to travel "about a mile" to get 10 the voting booths. The second precinct in this ward, in the Vance school, will be open for business.
 It will no longer be necessary for some voters in the third ward to travel an equal distance to the Camp school The second precinct al West Main and Lincoln street will be ready to accommodate the West Enders.
 In the fifth ward, too. convenience , is intensified hyS providing the sec ond precinct at Broad and High streets,
 In the sixth the second precinct at 11S9 Stanley street will serve d similar purpose of convenience.
 The thought uppermost in the minds of voters who note these changes IS that the additional pre- cincts should have been added to the wards years ago. Ii was 2 spirit of false economy that held the wards to only six voting places until this year.

STANLEY ST. HOUSE
 HAS S2,000 BLAZE
Chief Noble Not Impressed by
 Theory Of Incendiarism

Damage estimated at more than 5000 was caused by fire, water and smoke early yesterday in a two-fam- fly house at 1112 Stanley street, own ed by Elmer w. Ripple, and a short time later a $500 fire broke out in house at 165 Oak street, owned by Mrs. Mary Jakubczyk. Over the week end the fire department an- swered several calls, and since the first of April the total is 33. If the average is maintained for the next three weeks, the month of April will break the new record established last month.
 Officer James Sullivan was patrol ling his beat shortly after 3 o'clock when he was notified that smoke was pouring out of Nipples house and he turned in an alarm from Box 413. The second floor tenement was unoccupied and Ripple had been painting it Saturday afternoon, he ing in the first floor tenement, which he occupies, Ripple spent the night at the home of his son on Francis street. leaving both tene- ments unoccupied.
 He offered the theory of incend- arism but Chief Noble said it was possible that oily rags such as arc used on painting jobs ignited through combustion and set fire to the floor and it was also possible that Ripple had thrown a lighted match onto the floor thinking it had been extinguished Ripple recalled using a match to light a gas jet a short time before leaving the house to visit his son.
 The damage to the house was ap- proximately $500, Chief Noble estl- mated, and there was probably $200 or $500 damage to furniture and personal belongings. Bremen found a number of 50 cent pieces and sil- yer dollars in the debvis but real estate deeds and other papers were lost
 In the Oak street fire the flames spread up the rear wall of the house from pile of rubbish near the rear porch and the firemen were called by an alarm from Box 414.
 On Saturday. firemcn were called 10 grass fires on the W. l.. Hatch property.on Lincoln street, vacant lot on Roosevelt street. property of the Camp Real Estate Co. on Oneida street, the Eddy property on Corbln avenue. by "still'' alarms. At 1:17 o'clock in the evening 'still' alarm for a grass fire on Wooster street was followed by a bell from BoX'9. The Barnes estate owns the proper ty.
 co. No. 6 was called at 1920 o'clock yesterday afternoon to a grass fire at 10 Harding street. and Co. No. was called at 2:52 o'clock to a grass fire on the C. F. Daven- port property in the rear of Stanley street.

MIR. QUlGLEH AND THE. MACHINE

Defeated in it's attempt to nomi nate Donald l.. Bartlett for mayor the Republican city machine reluc- tantly has decided to back Mir Quigley. So far as the machine lead : CTS are concerned, it is making & good showing of harmony
 Even Edward r. Hall, chairman of the board of finance and taxa ton, held to that position by Mayor Paonessa because of friendship and satisfaction with his record, is again Quigley. Mr. Hall, as finance minis ter" of Connecticut, naturally is prominently identified with the state ma chine. He would not have attained his present standing with the organization in any other man. ner.
 And there is Attorney General B w. Aling. former judge of the police court. Mr. filling also has appeared on the platform for Mir. Quigley- after the primary, not before. Mr. Alling became attorney general through his identification with the state organization, and when ht speaks on a platform for anyone It is because it appears in the interest of the Roraback- Republican ma chine to help in the political situ- ation.
 | Even Alderman William H. Judd, whip of The Republican ma a.ority in fhe Common Council and the Mus solini of the local Republican ma chine. has appeared on the platform for Mr. Quigley.
 This IS surprising, The Herald knows full we'll what Mr. Judd thought of Mr. Quigley during the Republican primary. Mr. Judd changes his mind quickly if it is to the interest of the machine to do so
 That the machine has taken up Mr. Quigley in such whole hearted manner means something.
 It means that MT. Quigley has become the machine candidate.
 This being reasonably certain, it means that Mir. Quigley's alleged independence is merely a mirage,
 No machine candidate can pe in dependent. The machine would not support with show of unanimity if it were not assured that if and when elected mayor the machine would have a stransle hold upon him.
 Anyone who deals with the Re publican machine in this city and in this state becomes tainted with the machine conception of government.
 Those who had hoped that MT. Quigley would remain an independ- ent sort of person are naturally dis appointed.
 Mir Quigley now is of, by and with the machine.

TEXT|LEEXECUTIVE TALKS ID TRADE
Urges Application of Economic
 Laws to Industry

Augusta, Ga, April P)-Henry Kendall, of Boston, Mass, head of five textile mills in North and South Carolina. told the Atlantic Cotton association today that unless the textile industry takes care of it's own problems in satisfactory manner, public opinion will step in and do the job for us"
 "The textile industry" Kendall said, "is in position to control its own positions. Our small'percentage of export, only seven per cent, means that we can, if we will bal ance more nearly our supply with demand"
 Says Industry "Disjointed"
 He described the industry as "disjointed," saying it was following policies which have been discarded in other industries.
 Discussing labor conditions in the mills, Kendall said that mill own CTS here in the south have regarded lOnS hours as advantageous. Long hours are actually an economy boomerang. They have meant that for certain periods goods are turned out in such Volume that an over- production periodically recurs.
 "Over-production means curtailed employment and reduced income. The latter means lessened purchas- ing powers. The new and sound practice of other advanced indus tries is to maintain purchasing power first.
 Stresses Good Merchandising
 Tt is more than a coincidence that the companies which are growing are doing good merchan- dising job. More attention to re- search, in every department, is es- sential," Kendall said.
 The speaker is head of mills at Newberry, Edgefeld and Camden, S. C., and at Paw Creek, N. C.
 The convention of the association opened today with several hundred cotton merchants from various parts of the southeast in attendance.

THi. NEW BOOK LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS

The new obscene book law in Massachusetts is a compromise over the old. Banned in Boston" is still possible, but not as probable as be- fore. The new law probably will rr- ouire clarfication by the courts be- fore it's scope and actual meaning is determined
 The situation went it's thorny legislative path as follows: The former law on obscene literature in Massachusetts prohibited the sale of any book containing indecent o, obscene words or phrases. Opponents Of the law recently managed to have a new bill on the subject passed by the Massachusetts Senate. It pro- vided that a book was to be judged as a whole in determining it's moral or immoral character. However, the Massachusetts House amended the bill to read that the sale of books which are obscene" was forbidden. The Senate agreed to the bill as amended, and in that form it was signed by the Governor.
 A disappointing feature Of the new la is that there is no definite yard- stick w+th which to judge books. By prohibiting the sale of books which are obscene" the new Massa- chusetts law does not specify whether their obscenity must be proved from their contents as Il whole. or whether it may be attest- ed by individual passages. Dispatches from Boston indicate that this doubt in the scope of the law wilt probably have to be settled by judi ciaI interpretation. In this respect also Massachusetts is moving near CT federal procedure.
 It must be remembered that fed cral procedure also has been liberal- ized, and that most recently in the new tariff law being enacted. Cn- der the terms of the present tariff law. the customs officials pass upor the moral character of books sub mitted for importation into the United States although their action is theoretically reviewable by the courts. By the Cutting amendment of last October. the Senate removed from the pending tariff bill the prohibition of entry of obscene books. On March IS last, the Senate adopted the motion of Senator Smoot to restore 10 the pending tariff bill the prohibition against obscene books; but under the new provision, the determination Of obsccnity is eX- pccted to lie with the federal courts rather than with the customs off, cials,
 The net result, both in Washing ton and in Boston, probably tends toward less childishness in banning books.
