srnIxeFrELD's NEW BRIDGE.

Connecticuts handsome bridge, across the river at Hartford has been matched by the new Hamden County Memorial bridge at Springfield which has been
 dedicated with appropriate exercises this week The Massachusetts city's new bridge combines art and utility in a structure that will serve as an addi- tional bond between the east and the west banks of the Connecticut river. The structure is of reinforced concrete and it's engineers believe it will be as inn perishable as the old Roman arches built a thousand years or more ago. The age of concrete Is replacing the age of granite which was once accepted as the preferred material where long and en- during life was wanted in things of mans building.
 The new bridge is a gracefully arched structure about 1,500 feet in length with its height above railroads and river ac- commodated to grade improvements by land and possible future navigation de velopments To those who are ad- vocates of the improvement of the Connecticut river as one of the most meritorious of the inland waterways pro positions, there are details of spe- cial interest in connection with the Springfield bridge. The contractori demonstrated that the Connecticut river vas practically useful for water trans portation between Springfield and sal
 water by bringing their marine equip rnant from Norfolk, Va, and Troy, N r. to the bridge site by the use O. bayges that came up the Connecticu' river. This was not accomplished with
 out cutting the barges lengthwise ana crosswise to get them through the olC canal at Windsor Locks, fastening thu parts together again after the canal wa
 passed, but this will not be necessar. for taking the material away, as espec iaily constructed barges of a suitabl size have been built for this purpose.
 Tn recalling the days of the fathers Springfield historians direct attention t
 the fact that the pioneers, in selectin
 a site for trading centre on a river were naturally influenced by the loca ton of shadows where the strear might be forded It was the primitiv means of crossing, to be followed wit the passage of the years by the estab nshment of the first rude ferry, an later by the erection of the toll bridge such as that which for several genera tions served to give access betwee
 Springfield and the opposite bank of tn river. There is a touch of pardonabl pride in the references to this ancier structure. Built of hand-hewed tin bers from the nearby forests, it was)s sondly and honestly constructed that
 withstood flood and tempest and in creasing burdens of traffic for scores ( years. Tn it's sturdy old age it migf appropriately have been regarded as i
 self a memorial to the skilled and COT seientious craftsmen of by-gone day

Preston is Surprised

EreSpOn IS surprised
 Mir. Editor: People in this vicinity, both vets and drys, are very much in terested in the Griswold cider case. The vets are elated and the drys disgusted with the outcome of the civil suit brought by MT. Potter. MT. Potter we believe, had a fair trial and was convicted of selling cider and we can't understand why the six good men who acted as jurors in the civil suit wanted the cider returned to Mir. Potter for future use in- stead of being dumped.
 We were much surprised when we learned the decision of the jurors on the case. but we were much more surprised when we lear ned that one of the six good men was a Rev. and another a deacon 1 The vets tell us that even ministers and deacons are opposed to prohibition and we drys hardly know how to answer them, but of course all ministers are mol alike. neither are all deacons. AS long as people are upheld In violating the prohibition law they will continue tc do so. A PRoHIBfTIoNIsT. Preston, Aug 4, 192s.

Under this head must be classed the gypsies whose H'nly claim to respect Is the. fact that they roll Sometimes, perhaps, little faster than they desire, under the advice of seleetmen and mayors.

OBSERVATIONS
(By the Cornfeld Philosopher,
THE ONE BIG ISSUE

Editor Tribune The more study
the Cummins-Esch railroad act the
more I admire the satanic ingenuity
of its trainers and the more convinced
am I that transportation should be
made the leading issue in the coming
political campaign. @
This issue. in itself, is big enough
to call into existence a new politica
party. Just as the slavery question
was made to order for the Republican
party by the Dred Scott decision of
the Supreme Court, which held among
other things, that "a negro had no
rights white man is bound to res
pect,' so has the recent interpreta-
ton of the Cummins-Esch law by our
highest legal tribunal opened the way
for new political organization to
finally settle the great transportation
problem. The effect Of this decision
is to practically annul all state regu-
lation of transportation and set aside
as unconstitutional" all state laws
fixing freight and passenger rates. All
this tremendous power has been trans
ferred to Congress by this court deci-
sion. II we want reduced freight
rates we must look to Congress for
relief.
1t is true that the National Board of
Railroad Commissioners appointed by
the President has power to regulate
and control rates Of transportat ton,
but these rates must be fixed so high
as to insure gross income sufficient
to not only meet all operating expen-
ses but also to provide for a six per
cent dividend on watered stock and
everything. And the Commission has
no authority to regulate or control
these "operating expenses" Railroad
Executives and Boards of Directors
not only pay themselves princely sal
aries, in some cases exceeding that re-
ceived by the President of these Uni
ted States, but they put upon their
pay roll vast army of lawyers at
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. They
spend great sums to "soap'' newspap-
ers disguised as advertising.
They contribute to political COM
paigns very generously especially
where their proven friends are candi-
dates.
| 1t is said that the late E. H. Harri.
man, known as the railroad wrecker,
donated a quarter of million dollars
to the campaign fund of one party and
/ rim al
out and enact legislation adverse to
his interests, gave to the opposition
an equal sum-thus forestalling I'm.
favorable legislation from either par.
