Luther of Trinity Strong for Hughes.
 The list of a score of college presi- dents, all of whom are strong support CTS of Governor Hughes, given out by the Hughes National College League last week, could have been doubled, according to National Campaign Man ager Brokaw Compton, if it had in- cluded college presidents whom he knows to be favorable to Hughes but who are not members of the League.
 The list that we published, said Compton, included only enrolled members of our League. President F. s. Luther of Trinity College, for in- stance, is enrolled in the Huhes Ali ance and a member of the Republican State Executive Committee, and Mich olas Murry Butler, president of Co., lumbia, is known all over the country as an active Republican and a Hughes supporter, but as they have not en- rolled with us, we omitted their names. Of course, we included President Will liam Arnold Shanliin of Wesleyan be- cause he is one of our enrolled mem bers. From our correspondence with the presidents of practically all the best prominent colleges in the United States, 1 should say that there are not half dozen leaders of educational thought in this country who are sup porting President Wilson"

These are the days to walk.

Shoe leather, we know, is going up in price; but don't be afraid to wear out your shoes oT that account. Long walks in the country, or between your home and your work, or through the park of an evening or Sunday, form one of the best little insurance policies in the world. Walking is the best of exercises; every muscle in your body will respond if youzswing your arms, fill your lungs, and eset out for a spot on the far horizon.

The swing of the political pendulum toward Charles E. Hughes during the last few days is merely an evidence that the people of the country, once they actually apply their minds to pol itics are keen to observe and quick to analyze. They have caught on to Woodrow Wilson, and the instant they did that the election of Governor Hughes was assured. They have plumbed the depths of the economic philosophy which led MT. Wilson to tell the American people two years ago that the hard times, the lack of em- ployment, the hunger and want of those whose natural supporters could get no work, were merely psycholog- icar' and who now asks them to be- lieve that a purely war-made prosper ity is permanent. They have come to realize that Woodrow Wilson has an abundance of intelligence but no character, that his every policy lacks the one essential, sincerity; that he plays the game on the square with no man, not even the sugar growers of Louisiana, Democratic state though 1t be. And having caught son to Wilson. the people will elect Hushes1-Meriden Record. zE$~ FsFt|Ff fG+

SUFFRAGE AND PROHIBITION.

The charge of some anti-suffragists
that the influence of the women voters
has not been thrown on the side of
prohibition is not upheld by a survey
of the election results and conditions
in the twelve suffrage states, writes
L. Ames Brown, in the North Ameri-
can Review. 1t is true that California,
because of local conditions went over
whelmingly against prohibition in
1914. but in the same year four other
suffrage states-Colorado, Washing
ton. Oregon and Arizona-in which
suffrage had been effective for TWEEN
ty-two, three, five and three years re-
spectively, adopted prohibition. Kan
sas, which has been a prohibition
state since 1880, adopted suffrage in
1912. In Idaho, where suffrage has
been in effect nineteen years. strong
temperance sentiment prevails, and
the prohibition forces are hopeful of
an early victory. Utah, which has been
a suffrage state for nineteen years. is
about as near statewide prohibition
as any license or local option state in
the Union" according to the current
Anti-Saloon League Year Book. al
though it is true that the influence of
women in Salt Lake City local option
elections has not been exerted on the
side of anti-Hquor legislation. In
Wyoming, the oldest suffrage state,
local prohibition has made extensive
advances, and the Anti-Saloon League
Year Book announces that the state is
now under prohibition. except in GER
tain classes of incorporated munich
palities. In Illinois, where the women
have presidential suffrage, fifty-three
counties have local prohibition. Con-
ditions in that state are described in
the following excerpt from the last
annual report of the superintendent of
the Illinois Anti-Saloon league: THE
woman's suffrage bill, which could
not have been passed without the al
most unanimous support of the men
who were elected by the help of the
Anti-Saloon league, has proven to be
the most valuable piece of temperance
legislation the state has enacted.
The Illinois suffrage law
demands that there be separate bal
lot boxes for the women inasmuch as
they have only limited suffrage. This

OIL Fee CASE ARGUED
Supreme Court Is Expected TO Render
Decision in February.

Arguments in the state oil inspec-
ton case were submitted today be-
fore the state supreme court. The
suit involves the constitutionality of
the 1918 oil inspection act and af-
fects revenues of more than 100000
a year received by the state. A deci-
sion in the case will probably be hand
ed down in February.
For nearly year oil inspection fees
have been paid to the state under
protest. These protested fees now
amount to more than 100000 and
cannot be used by the state except in
event the suit to test the state law is
decided against the oil companies.
These fees are now held in a separate
fund by the state treasurer and will
be turned into the general revenue
fund only in event the state wins.
In the action to set aside the state
law, it is held that the act of three
years ago is a revenue producing
rather than. inspection measure. This
contention is based on the fact that
the state spends about 81 900 a month
to maintain the department, while the
oil companies are compelled to pay
from $4,000 to $4,000 a month in
fees.
When the legislature of 1918 amend
ed the state inspection law. it cut
from the payroll some 1875 local poll
ticians who held jobs as deputy oil
inspectors. The work is now done by
six men, who inspect more oil than
the entire army of workers under the
Stubs administration. Expenses of
ly reduced under the new law and
the revenues to the state have multi
piled. Now the state may be forced
to return &c the old system.
