History and the Herald need not al- ways agree.
 As for hurting the tender feelings of the booze crowd and their sup porters. let me call your attention to the statistics, recently published, which state that during the first year Of enforcement, about one hundred and twenty enforcement officers were murdered by the rum-running gentry and many more injured. Too bad, Mir Editor 10 offend these. gentle, good-hearted souls : Of course, we feel sorry for tho families of men who permit themselves to become im- plicated in this filthy business, but these men knew that they had fam flies and these families will suffer much more when the judge pros nounces sentence upon these men, and every newspaper in the vicinity publishes the story under scare heads and inch high, and embellished with pictures of the men. Would you have the judges refrain from sentenc- ing them or the papers from mak- ing sensational story of it? You should use common sense when you address your eight thousang sub scribers-there are intelligent people among your readers.
 Now, I would not so much as in- innate the good old Herald is owned or controlled. or even subsidized by this gang whose main interest is in breaking the eighteenth amendment and the Nolstead act. I would not even believe it unless confronted by indisputable evidence. l want to be- lieve that you are independent-tha you have mo strings" on you. So let's be hOnest-how, in Heavens name are we to suppress this law breaking unless tho pulpit and the press join hands to make it unpopular? Would you throw the whole burden upon the prosecutors and judges? Don't you know that these men must have sup port in the performances Of their sworn duties? Not that our prose- cutors and judges arc towards. but it takes more than ordinary courage 10 perform their duties 10 the full, in the face of indifference or opposition from those who should give them the heartiest support There is no half way place on this question-either you arc against the rum ogowd or with it
 The popularity of the Ia1 is beside the point Tho thirteenth amendment vas. in many states. the most un- popular iaw ever passed. Moreover. the states Hhofn it affected had moi q chance Co defeat it And yet l know tifat the Herald would scream out in scare heads at the very mention of repesiiug .Ur modifying it
 The one question at issue. now Is. on the one hand. whether this amend ment should be enforced. Or on the other. whether it shall bc repealed or modified and in thL fneantirnE. disre- ear1sg
 N0u. WHAT Is your standg

THE HARDWARE srTrATIoN

The Hardware Age in its weekly market summary reports no change from the situation that has prevailed for some weeks; the tone is steady with comparatively few price fluc- tuations, and the showing Of moders- ton by the retailer.
 It would be pleasant to repeat the old bromide that No news Is good news" but business can not rely upon saying Of tho past for inspiration. Certainly 1t is better to have no change than a sign Of decided fall- ing of in demand by retailers. whose calls should reflect pretty accurately the outlook.
 But the question comes, does their attitude properly reflect the outlook :? There is not the slightest doubt but that the advice Of wise men in the business Of predicting what tho market wiH be and what the wise course for business to follow is. has been followed by business. That ad- vice has been to go slow and keep on Inc work of 55usting-" As Tong as retailers assume this attitude. of course. the weekly reports Of the Hardware age and all other similar organs will show moderation" in the demand of the retailers.
 There is no attempt here to question the wisdom Of this stand. But # IS quite possible. in spite Of some ez- perts' recent deprecation Of too much optimism. to believe that the holiday demand for all goods will be far greater than is expected by those who will profit by it. the retailers Not long ago the wbdSesaIers predicted vossible shortara tho holiday ssa- soa There vss ps son behind this

COMMUNICATED
One From KensingtH.

One From Kcnsinston. Editor of the New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn.
 Would you kindly give the below space in your, Communicated" column.
 I would like to make a few conn ments in regards to insertion in your paper signed by "Plainyille" who ap- parently was hard hit by Mir. Davis lecture.
 I was one of the lucky ones to have heard the lecture and certainly have nothing but praise for him.
 Considering the many remarks made by Mir. Davis now under fire by so many individuals, where in this world is a more fitting place to re- veal these things than in Gods house of worship
 Mir. Davis used plain language which must have been approved of by many hundreds of listeners as no one left their seat in disgust and any one present knows that there were many very refined women present.
 If schools and churches cannot bring out tie good in humans surely no booze dive ever could.
 Ii is pleasure to know that there is one preacher at least who lets no one sway him in his work and also perhaps a pleasure to him to know of the many hypocrites in his congrega- ton and on the outside.
 Personally I detest foul language but have, no complaint to offer in Mir. Davis plain speech and as the cap does not fit am therefore not among the many who are today wear ing it.

Editor Herald:
 Dear Sir:
 While reading the Herald of yester- | day came across the word amazed in the article written by one who sign ] d christianity" and so he is amazed ! at tho attitude that Rev. John l.. l Davis has taken in regard to the 1 liquor question. Well there are a big bunch of so-called Christians, proffes- i sors not possessors, who are truly amazed at any one who has backbone enough, to put the truth in plain lan- guage, right over the home plate, just where it belongs. all fearless and bould. and let me say Mir. Davis is one of these kind of men, and many there are who honor him for doing so, and we do mead more men of his stamp and God-fearrng character. God almighty can and does use such men. He needs them in this ago of the world in which we are existing in For we are not here to serve God and Mammon, we are not here to serve God one hour out of every week and fthe deavel the rest of the time; that
 
 of a Christian, neither will this kind of Christianity land us at the entrance or pass us through the gate of ever lasting life into tho everlasting King dom of God or heaven hereafter. No, never !
 I, asNwell as many others, do also appreciate the article written and signed by Herald Reader of Thirty Years" No doubt he has already noticed, yes and for sometime noticed, just where the editor stands upon many plain spoken truths in regard to true Christianity. right living. One thing is true and very noticeable, and it is this; Facts and truth concerning true Christianity and just what God Almighty would have, the people of this world 10 do. how to live and serve him, comes at A high figure when the press is requested to advertise it. the space in their colum are very valu- able in dollars and cents. There is simply more money derived from ad- yertising the deaves business than there is God Almighty. People are tmsny of themD catering 10 dollars first. and trying to serve God second. People seem to be delighted in serv- ing the Deayel, allowing him to chase them about the Hell-bound bush, thus ignoring God Almighty. his law com mands and word. To one who speaks today from any pulpit in many of the churches, the Deavel tells them to use moderation. Thank God there are some who do not obey him and they are not afraid Of losing their job or salary. God Almighty can and will make use of such men as the Rev. John l.. Davis, and we believe the powers Of Heli cant choke them off.

ToNIGHT's OPPORTUNITY

The city plan commission mas set this evening as the time when city officials and others interested may learn from an authoritative source of the benefits to be derived from zoning the city. The time will come soon when such city officials, especially members of the common council, will have to consider whether or not a zoning plan shall be adopted. This evening, in the common council cham bcr in city hall at o'clock, Flaviel ShurtleR, secretary of the National Zoning commission, nationally known figure in this movement. will speak on tho subject. A zoning rcsolu- ton is in the hands of the city plan commission. A plan will be prepared shortly, in al probability, It is one Of the duties of those who will have to consider this matter to listen to the exposition of the idea that will be given tonight in order that they will know what it is all about" when time for action comes.
 \ few simple statements about zon- ing should be made 10 clear the mind Of misunderstanding about 1t. In the first place it is not a new plan that has not been tried. Eighty-one cities and towns have adopted it and are sorry they did not do so before. Zon- ing does not plan to interfere with buildings already erected. It will af- feet no right or privilege possessed by anyone. Rather. il will give assur- ance Of a continuance of rights possi- bly now threatened, IL looks to the future order Of the city and the health and comfort of the people, as well as to the present, in that it will protect property owners by assuring them Of continued enjoyment Of what they now possess Some building that may be considered nuisance can not be NhhtIl away VT lllF HhlHatll'I hbdAtA bs any appeal to the zoning plan pro- posed. But it will prevent the erec- ton Of structures that might be nuisances in the future.
 Tn a word the zoning idea is based upon the desire to have the right sort Of building in the place best suited for it; 10 have buildings properly used; to conserve the public health; to con- tribute to the comfort and happiness Of the people, and to preserve or in- crease present real estate values.
 This is the purpose Of zonlng. II is being recognized more and more as a necessity as shown by the rapid de- velopment of the movement and the enthusiasm with which the results sre' greeted in the localities where it has been put into effect. Remembering these facts members of the common council, other city officials and all in- terested citizens should listen 10 NIT. ShurtleH toniEh as requested by the mayor and the city plan commission.
