SACRIFICE HABIT.

Senator Rlett's defeat for the nom- ination for Lieutenant- Governor is just another example to add to the list of sacrifices which New Britain has made in Hartford county. New Britain and Hartford are both in a queer position politically. for both cities are in the big fivo of population in this state. and Hartford often uses New Britain's vote to assure a major ity of the first district. The delegates from New Britain cannot use as an argument to persuade the delegates tempt to get the votes. New Britain is a large city, but the political little sister of the Hartford-New Brit ain combination.
 If New Britain were tie metro polls of a district, its state and na- tional offices would be more numer- ous. Bridgeport, Waterbury, and New Haven are all in separate con- gressional districts, but Hartford and New Britain are together and the pOiillCdl history or InlS nrSt congress sional district shows just such sac rifices as was staged at the c. O. P. convention when Senator Klett with drew from the race for Lieutenant Governor. A charming vote-getting argument was advanced-a chance to get a Hartford county man, a favorite in Hartford. the head of the ticket. Klett withdrew, a noble thought, but that may have been a blind. The candidate for whom the Senator with drew did not get the nomination. A dark horse from Hartford county got the nomination and once again the boom of Senator Klett was knocked in the head.
 If such an event happens once, it's a coincidence; twice, it's very strange: three times, rather raw; all after the third could be classified as a habit. New Britain is a victim of the sacrifice habit, Playing the game with Hartford is not the success that it is cracked up to be, and there has not been candidate for office from New Britain who got any place by catering to the politicians up Hart ford way. Home town, first, last and always is a slogan which all politi- clans and voters admire.

CAN HE RESTORE LIEF

There is nothing sacrilegious about the question: "Can the young Greek inventor, whose submarine periscope is in use in the United States Navy. restore life within 72 hours after death from drowning. asphyxiation, etc7" It is claimed he can do so. If his theory is correct the old idea. does not pump the blood through the body. will have to be discarded. He believes that inhalation and ex- haIation are the forces back of it's passage.
 A layman would describe Sis in- venti6n as one which goes on the theory that the blood still circulates after death, driven on by the breath ing that has just stopped. It goes slower and slower. and all that is needed to restore the action of the heart is an artificial stimulus to the blood to keep 1t flowing on until the heart begins to beat once more.
 Everyone is familiar with the ac- ton of wheel suspended in the air. It will keep revolving as long as force fs attached to it. When that force is removed the wheel still turns un- til il finally comes to a dead halt. Probably the young inventor believes that the blood. left alone, would come to fnal halt about 72 hours after death. Then there is nothing to be done. But before that time he believes that artificial force will con- tlnue its flowing until the heart be- gins to net. and then life returns.
 The invention of a man who has discovered something of which prac- tical use is made, is hailed with more credence than the invention of some unknown man. This claim. therefore. is worthy of thought. It would be

 form left the gates open for the ad- vocacy of almost any sort of League. The Democratic platform was more specific and mentioned the existing League of Nations. but with the pos sibliity of rcservations attached.
 Democrats have asserted. and for a while Republicans did not hasten to deny. that tho Republicans spurned the League idea for which they stood.
 Now Governor Coolidge. candidate Tor vice-Prcsident. asserts the Repub- licnns have stood always against iso- lation. They do not spurn the asso- ciation of nations idea, he says. He cites tho international court, whose dictates would be accepted without Jeopardizing any traditions of any na- tion. as a means out of the tangie. Speakers day by day are taking a stand that assures the people the Re- publicans are not difrereing from the Democrats as much as the Democrats would have tho people believe.
 If the Republican party made a mistake in not stating plainly in it's platform it's belief in a League; if tho party really desired to put tho League or Association of Nations ip tho background and has seen it's miis- take now. 1t is good. although the change will make the election a closer one. If there was an honest inten- ton in the platform to favor some sort of League, and the leaders of the party have waited until this time to clarify it. it is better late than never" For either a Democrat or a Republican will sit in the White House. and he must see the over wheIming sentiment of the American people against isolation in world af- fairs

"JBsT ILLUMINATING"
(Robert Russell.)

That feller Dempsey licked his man; they fought with fists three rounds, an Dempsey had to put more stuff behind his punch than pounds. Most all the country hoped he'd lose be- cause he missed the war, but Dempsey seemed to fight as we'll as Dempsey did before. He's been accused, acquitted; ain't it best to give a chance to every man although he didn't get to fight in France? That briar pipe O mine jest hates them wartime stacker chaps; but it's aware there was mistakes an this was one,. perhaps. It's wise enough to know it can't learn all the inside. facts, an all we got to go by is Jack Dempsey's future acts. His fight will be lots harder than his scraps within the ropes, but if he is courageous he'll fight on with steadfast hopes. Jest now. though champion, he is the under dog some ways; but If he wins the bigger fight he'll find that winnin' pays. Respect that's gained against such odds would be respect ind eed; black hopelessness is fruitless in a persons hour O need.
