 If the Washington senatorial influence and pressure keeps off and does not interfere in a state situation, we will win and will } supplant Roraback, and If the senators who voted for the bonus while the five Connecticut con- gressmen voted against 1t persist In actively supporting Roraback, 1t means disaster for the whole republican ticket from Senator Mclean down in the November election.

ENGLISH PRISONERS

Governor of British Jail Makes
 Life Happy for Men

London, Sept. RE. Percy Brown is a comparatively young man, with a young mans enthusiasm for reform He wants to make prisoners better and happier men inside the jail, and to give them a chance to make good when they get out. He Is governor of Dorchester Gaol, where he is try ing certain experiments that come to him from the United States, and the home office is watching them to see how they turn out.
 The effects of the new treatment already are pronounced to be amaz- ing. The tone of the prison is ex- cellent and the general conduct of the prisoners is very good And this in spite of the protests raised by the old fogy type of prison authorities against undermining discipline by in- troducing "fashy American methods"
 Music is Mr. Browns most power full instrument of amelioration. Near ly every week he organizes good con- certs. The prisoners display a real hunger for these events. and the bet ter the music the better they like them, showing an almost pathetic de- light in violin solos of the higher class
 Also MT. Brown has organized a series of debates and lectures for the prisoners. The debates, especially are hugely enjoyed by the prisoners. Some of them participate with great zest, for among those now doing time" at Dorchester are men of ex- cellent education and remarkable ar gumentatiVe skill.

QUESTION OF JEWS
Number to Be Permitted in Hungar.
 ian Universities Questioned.


 Budapest, Sept. 3 (By Associated Press)-The moot question of how many Jews shall be allowed to ma triculate in Hungarian universities has brought about a challenge for a duel between two prominent Hungar- ian educators.
 A controversy has been waging be- tween the universities of Budapest and Segedin, the point at issue being whether the law restricting the number applies to the Jewish refugees from the lost provinces.
 Following the exchange of a num- Der of uncomplimentary letters, the rector of Budapest university, Dr. Barsony, professor of surgery has challenged the rector of Szegedtn, Dr. Meny, part professor of Brazil juris- prudence to a duel with swords.

talking about what they did S, 10, 10 or ~ years ago. Ihey
boast about old -hme accomplishments, which usually is a sure
SIGN that subconsciously they realize they are through ac-
complshing.
Falling back on ones past~-self-admIratlon about a pre-
vious records a violation Of the modern code that rates a
man by what he is doing today. not yesterday. Attention ana
fortune go to the man who is making a new record. Inc ola
record is ancient history, being forgotten.
The opposite of this law is working IN the case OIL n
tennis player. He is playing in bad form bcause ne is brood
ing too much On the last ball-past mistakes. >.
1t doesn't matter how many mistakes you nave, maze, II
YOU can convince the world that you have profrted by tnem.
Experience is invaluable, yet it is nothing more than a
chain of mistakes.
Normally. a man is fortunate in having made mistakes
.or the agony is over and he is not apt to make them again.
This is today, not yesterday. The past is gone. Forget 1t.
A third type of misdirected energy is observed IN the
person who has succeeded in forgetting the past, but is also
inclined to forget the present.
Living too much in the future, he bungfes the present.
You see this frequently in a mechanic, clerk or salesman
who dreams so much about what he will do when he is boss
that he falls into a state of sefhypnotism and sights todays
task.
AL Of us, seeking success, are ladder climbers. We have
our attention on a man higher up, on the rung OF the ladder
where we want to be. There is such a thing as being so intent
on him that we forget the fellow below who is after us, who
wants the rung we are standing on now. Sometimes he gets
it. passes us. Then we come out Of our daze and curse "luck. !"

COAL AND OCEAN FREIGHT RATES

The railroads and the coal operators are having their
troubles, but the shipping interests are not complaining. 1t
is an i'll wind that blows nobody good.
The United States demand for British coal is soaring,
and hundreds of thousands of tons are being bought at
Newcastle on Tyne and in South Wales for immediate de-
livery here. The United States Shipping Board is planning
to utilize scores of the nationally owned boats which have
been lying idle for lack of cargoes, and tramp steamers from
every port are headed for the British isles to pick off fuel
cargoes for this country. Oddly enough, the grain shippers
will profit most.
International trade is slack right now, and Europe is
not buying much in America in the shape of machinery. But
there is always a brisk trade in foodstuffs, and this is the
time of year when it is most active. The movement of grain
eastward promises to make British coal cost us less since it
will enable outward bound vessels, which must otherwise
have crossed the Atlantic in ballast, to leave our harbors
loaded to the Plimsoll mark. That is, if the railways can get
the grain to the coast.
Grain rates on ocean freight usually stiffen in August,
but this year the supply of available tonnage is expected to
make them easier. For some months that rate has been
about La cents a hundred pounds, as against ~ cents be-
fore the war. This fall grain is expected to cross the Allan
tic at 40 cents a hundred. 1t will make a lot OF difference
overseas.
