Politics in the State Department.

Secretary Colby is scarcely to be congratulated
upon his latest employment of State Department
machinery for the purpose of discrediting Senator
Harding. There could have been no other purpose
for the statement given regarding the reported
lease of large tract Of Russian land from the
Soviet authorities Consider what Mr.. Colby has
to say on the subject in substance
Evan E. Young special commissioner at Riga,
reports that he has heard that Ler1re had told
H. c. Wells the British novelist that Washington
D. Vanderp, while seeking concessions in Rus
sia, had said that he represented Senator Harding
and made certain representations concerning the
recognition OF the Soviet government.
The convolutons OF the channel through which
the story reached the State Department recall
in way the line in one OF George Cohan's
songs about the who knew "fhe friend of a
friend OF friend of friend of Frohman's"
The Secretary of State in giving out this
foolish piece of gossip is careful to say that he has
other information the matter than this bit
OF hearsay, and information to show that
Nanderlip had any authority to speak for Senator
Harding to Lenine, if in fact he did.
Lenine is in Moscow
Agent Young is in Riga.
Novelist Wells is either in England of en- route
thither
Nanderlip is thought to be in Copenhagen
Harding is in Marion Ohio, within reach Of
the long distance telephone.
But the State Department gave out this spicy
bit OF political scandal, for a partisan purpose in
the last days of the campaign, without making in
quiry of the one man involved who could be most
readily reached!

tween Rehninnton and No. Adams

Resumption of traffic over the Ben
ningtcn and North Adams branch of
the Berkshire Street Railway system
for which Benning cn people have
long been hoping, has been again
postponed by the heavy fall Of snow.
General Superintendent c. Q. Rich
mond Of the Berkshire system assur-
ed Bennington resident this week
that the service would be resumed,
for trial period at ieas, but he says
that he is net in position at pres
ent to fix definite date.
Delay in re-opening the road is not
due to he snow that covers the track
between Bennington and Sand
Springs. the portion of the line that
has been C osed since the strike last
summer, but to the condi ions that
the recent storms have created
throughout the territory covered by
the system
Heavy snow such as has fallen
during he past two weeks in this
vicinity not only delays traffic
white the tracks are being cleared
but it seriously cripples the rolling
stock CT a trolley road. Cars are
temporarily put out of commission
through he burning out of e ectr;cal
connections and must be sent to the
shops fr repairs. snow plcws are
damaged and traffic is held up in al
directions
The travelling public in Bennington
is naturally impatient over the delay
in opening he road as the suspen
sion has caused large amount of
inconvenience and actual financial
loss. AT the same time the residents
of this village must be fully aware
CT the fact that the Benning on and
North Adams line has been the most
expensive to operate and the least
profitable section of he system. Mr.
Richmond has given residents of the
village assurances that the road will
be opened for the purpose CT ascer-
tanning whether or not, with an in
creased schedule of fares, the line
can be made to pay opera ing ex-
penses. He insists that he has not
changed his plans in this respect but
also states that he is not in a posi-
tion to carry out his intentions while
present conditions prevail.
