lo do in Ibis case is a matter of
opinion.
Tin library cannot, function to
anything approaching lis maximum
w it bout sufficient money to meet
the requirements. It is like any
oHor Institution in this respect. The
inly is makins cr'ain strenuous de
mo tubs upon the library, and the in
stitution has to meet the demands
or admit it is behind the tim"s.
Tli" city of New Hrilain la not in

greatly mhslake tbe temper of the
people, they are not Inclined to wish
n to trail behind the demands ot
citizens. The library is housed in
fine building and is efficiently man
aged. It has everything to serve the
city efficiently except an appropria
Hon commensurate with the de
mands made upon it.
The library lias been mod"st in its
refu,sf, I' has not. asked for sev

agenda for needed improvements In
the future, of course, if the board
would desire to push the work ahead
at an carlh r tint" scarcely anyonu
would object.
Another plan that has bci-n
bruited is to continue Kast -Main
street, to Washington street by tak
ing advantage of what is known as
Klnnigan's alley, the diminutive
thoroughfare at Main opposite Kast
Main. It is said that this could be
done with the expenditure of a com
paratively small sum of money due
to the nature and character of the
properly slnnding in the way. If
such an improvement is ever con
sidered the time to make It would
lie before more expense o buildings
are erected, barring the way.
( OOf llM.i: AM' COM
During tli- late presidential
campaign the slogan wan "Keep
cool with Coolidge." The president,
evidently has taken the slogan se
riously and insists that the people
keep cool while the coal strike
lasts. For in spite of the action of
the Senate yesterday In passing the
Cop. land resolution rrquesiing the
President to intercede, the Presi
dent, promptly announced he would
keep hands off.
The Senate in this case reflected
public opinion; the House, in which
there also have bed' pronounced
appeals that the President Inter
vene, likewise represents majority
public opinion. We do not know
what opinion the President's atti
tude represents.
The Copeland resolution, was
passed in tho Senate by a vote of
." to II sulhcient: of a majority
being for it to leave no doubt as
to the trend of opinion in the up
per house. Even Senators Bing
ham and McLean, who usually vole
according to the wishes of the
White House, voted for the resolu
tion. Hvi-n Senator P.utler of Mas
sachusetts, the president's cam
paign manager and chairman of
the national Republican commit
tee, swung away from admlnislra.
Hon influence and voted for the
resolution.
This put the entire situation en
tirely up to the President, and he
acted r.iomi-itlv contrary to the
resolution. The President, It must
be chronicled regretfully, prefers
to do nothimr.
The President's determination to
be indifferent is indefensible; it
approaches a t'oufing of the public
interest. He has been president
during two strikes. He made a
routine, recommendation to Con
gress in ISIS, but made no effort
to have a bill introduced embody
ing his recommendations. In 1S2,'i
he made another routine, p com
mendation but made no effort, to
bring about the enactment of a bill
Inclosing his views. He has pre
ferred to do nothing all alon?.
Win -n the nation was old with
(Iramcic political accents that lie
was the man who settled tho Bos
ton police s'rike on the strength
of which he was selected as vico-
president to be elected with Hard-
