Hartford, Feb. 15-''The Voter," state Prohibition organ, out today, paid it's respects to the state police commits sion in these words:
 "We have secured evidence since May. last. on which 24 convictions nave been had in spite of the fact that Superintendent Thomas F. Egan has personally appeared in court and testified on the side of the rum sell erg against tine states witnesses. We are moved to suggest that the state police commission is really a class commission uncaIled for and we be- 1ieve not conducive to law enforce Inent.
 ''The state police commission is ap. pointed by the judges of the superior court who. in turn are appointed by The legislature. It's possibly a case of too much lawyer There has always been a Republican majority in the commission
 ''The brewers have always appeared perfectly satisfied and there never had been any reason why they should not be. But suppose the superior court judges had appointed eight clergyrnen instead of lawyers what a howl there would have been.''
