Roraback to Invade Bridgeport.

Reports from Bridgeport are to the effect that J. Henry Roraback ! in his fight to retain his place as chairman of the state committee will go into Fairfield county, the stronghold of John T. King, and at tempt to wrest the control of the county away from him. If he does that will make very pretty fight for John F. King has always beaten off any attempts to dislodge him from the seat.
 Fight in C. Q. P. Ranks. The factional rift in the republican party in the state is giving a great deal of uneasiness to the organization leaders, says the Hartford Times. It's seriousness is no longer pooh-poohed nor its consequences belittled. Chair man Roraback and his friends, who are in control of the present state central committee, are receiving re-
 ports from all over the state and
 these make it clear that the revolt against the leadership of Mr. Rora- back is widespread and that expres- sions of open sympathy with it are heard in places which have always been looked on as machine strong holds.
 The Times continues:
 "The discontent with the leader ship Of Mr. Roraback has been grow ing some time. It received quite an impetus when Chairman Roraback had himself elected national commit teeman in succession to MT. Brooker while retaining the state chairman ship. He was advised then by some of his political friends that his oc- cupancy of both places would not be pleasing to republicans. They were the two most important positions in the party and they should not be held by the same person, said Nr. Roraback's candid friends. But he was too am- bilious to serve his party in the high est places to accept the advice or to heed the warning.
 To Hold Healy Where He Is.
 "The. Roraback faction now favors the renomination of the old state ticket of 1920, which, by no merits of its own achieved such a notable victory in November of that year. At

 should be willing to take their medi- cine and, if they are sorry they acted so hastily on the advice of labor leaders they should be made to admit that there Is justice in the stand of the Board in asserting that the new unions, formed pursuant to the advice of the Board. must be recognized by that board The union men, relying on what has always happened prob ably had no idea that the field of unionism would be entered by another, newly formed body or organization. They did not suppose that workers, staying on the jobs. would band together and would be recognized by the governmental body which they fouted.
 But this is the thing which has happened. The Railroad Labor Board says that the new railroad labor unions contemplated will be recog- nized by the Board when they come before 1t with a dispute, providing they can prove that their membership contains majority of the men then at work on the roads affected | Whether these new unions have their | inspiration from the carriers or from | the men makes no difference.

 Out of this competition in the field | of unionism there may develop wiser leaders, more sane theory of unionism, and a more practical idea of arbitration which will benefit not only the general public but the themselves.

torney General Frank E. Healy's name was not on that ticket for the simple reason that his term in the office of attorney general, to which he was elected in 1918. had two more years to run. But the Roraback fac .tion in it's present mood. r the sake of harmony, is willing that Mir. Healy should be renominated this year for another term and that his name should be on the ticket nominated by the state convention.
 Ullman Not Satisfied.
 That sop does not, however. sat- isfy Colonel uIlman and his friends They are interested to be sure in the personnel of the state ticket of their party but the purpose of their pres ent attitude towards the state ma chine is to bring about a change in the state chairmanship and they feel that a compromise on such a basis would be equivalent to a defeat and a neglect to grasp the victory which they believe is within their reach. They are more interested in change in party policies than they are in the naming of candidates.
 Tn making the proposition to nominate the old ticket, of 1920 the Roraback factionists think they will be showing the skill of clever politi- cal strategists in securing the sup port of Governor Lake and his friends for their plans. It is not that they love Governor Lake more but that they love Colonel Ullmans lead ership less.
 "They have feeling towards the political aspirations of Lieutenant Governor Tempeton that he win be to continue in his present position for two years. The recent announcement from Putnam that State Treasurer G. Harold Gipatric is a candidate for third term is accepted by many as sequel to their decision to renominate the old ticket.
 Colonel Uullman and his asso- ciates have their minds set on the election of Charles A. Gates, of Windham, as state chairman in the place of J. Henry Roraback and they will allow nothing to divert them from their purpose"

LEGAL" DESIGNATION.

All right thinking men and women
 believe in enforcement Of the law
 Even William Allen White took his strike sympathy placard out Of the
 window when he was arrested for
 displaying it. He took the stand that
 pending a decision as to whether or not he had violated the law, the law as interpreted by the authorities should be obeyed. If they decided for him that's something else again
 But-an automobile hearse was stopped five times a day or so ago, by prohibition agents, while carrying a dead body to New York. There it was ascertained that the hearse did bear corpse and not liquor
 There are peculiar angles to the enforcement of this prohibition law Make no mistake; people who break that law should be punished as they are punished for breaking other laws. The practical difficulty comes in the manner of its enforcement. Prohibit tion agents will say that it was neces- sary to open that hearse to see if the law was being broken. They might logically carry their reasoning far ther and insist that it was necessary to take the body from the coffin to see that there were no bottles of liquor concealed beneath. One who would use hearse for transporting liquor certainly would not halk at secreting it beneath the body. One may even conceive of a person suffi- ciently hardened to put bottle of liquor inside cherished memento which some person, knowing the fondness of the deceased for the keepsake had placed in the clasped hands of the dead person. There i, no limit to which prohibition agents may not go to enforce this law if it is held that its enforcement requires investigation into anything that might be used as a place in which to convey liquor. 4 closed automobile, curtains down. would be a good place in which to commit a murder Yet no one has suggested it Is proper for the police to break into every closed car to see that no murder is being committed.
 The manner of enforcement of this law as much as the law itself, is tc blame for much of the feeling against it. If everything may legally be desc crated in an attempt to discover liquor violations, and fl the law can not be enforced without the desecra- tion of everything, then there is something wrong.
 The only way to test the volstead act is to allow it to be tested under conditions which do not shock the sensibiities of even those who are not over-senstive. The law should be enforced, but it should be enforced decently with due consideration for the feelings Of the men and women who do not break il. Law abiding | citizens are entitled to Just as much | consideration since the passage of the | amendment and the No stead act as | they were before that time. Decent, i law abiding people should not be | made to pay penalty because there 1 are people who insist on breaking the | law.
 If the Nolstead act cannot stand | the test under decent enforcement, d new light will be thrown on the | whole prohibition matter

STATE EDUCATORS URGE
LONGER SCHOOL YEAR

A lengthening of the school year to
100 days was urged yesterday at the
Baltimore meeting of the County Sup
erintendents of Education in the office
of Albert S. Cook, State Superintend-
ent of Schools. The present school
year is $50 days.
The idea of the educators in urging
longer year is to bring Marylan,
back to her old rating in the Ayres'
School Guide. This State formerly
ranked third among the States in the
length of her school year. while now
she ranks eighteenth. The superin-
tendents said that Maryland has not
retrograded in this respect, but that
other States have increased the length
of their school years
Another matter taken into consid-
Grafton was the question of pupils
transferred from school of lower
classification to a school of a higher
rating, and their subsequent standing,
The superintendents agreed that a
pupil taken from a second-grade
school into a first-grade school should
be required to go back over the work
in the grade in which he last was
placed. INIT N S.

DARLEY NOW MEMBER
ST. JOHNS GRID. SQUAD

George Darley. former Hopkins star
quarterback, reported to Coach
George Hoban yesterday as a member
of his st. Johns football squad.
The acquisition of Darley forges
another link in an almost complete
chain OF good grid material at the To-
cal institution, and the Orange and
Black adherents are persuaded to a
man that this is big st. Johns year.
Yesterday afternoon Hoban let Dar-
ley take it easy, but the little back
did some neat drop-kicking, and gives
indications of rapidly rounding into
form. Hoban will send his charges
into their first scrimmage today, and
before the game with Washington Col
lege, Saturday week. there will be
plenty.
