HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER.

It is generally agreed that super vision of the state highways as it has been given recently, has been most satisfactory. The credit for the good results that have obtained should go partly to the man who has done it and partly to the system which has been in vogue. The commendation of Commissioner Bennett has been general; there has been no com- plaint with the systems practical re- suits. It seems that Commissioner Bennett will not hold the office much longer. That is regrettable, but there is no reason for abandoning the other part of the arrangement merely because the person who deserves credit for what has been done is to leave the service of the state.
 For a while, at least it seems that the same system under which Com missioner Bennett worked so satis- factorily, is to be in use. There is talk of having the highways eventu- ally under jurisdiction of a commits sion. The need for commission, with it's dividing of responsibility, is not apparent It would seem a wise plan to continue the present system unless the successor to Commissioner Bennett does not prove adequate to

"HARDING FOR PRESIDENT"

There are several ways of ex. blaming Attorney General Daugh- erty's supposedly official an nouncement that President Hard ing will again Become candi- date for the presidency. The only surprise expressed over the announce ment is that it comes so soon and was made by Daugherty. The latters close friendship with President Hard ing. making the Attorney Generals speech more authoritative than it would have been had it come from another source. may explain this phase of the matter. As to the time of the announcement, so long before election, that, also seems easily ex- plainable.
 It is quite natural to consider any action of President Harding the ac- tion of the old guard leaders of the Republican party as. well. It has been frequently remarked that the President is not inclined to act alone or to make any surprising move unless the matter has been pretty well discussed by his ad- visors. Presumably. therefore, this announcement that he will be the next Republican candidate, is in- spired by some wish of the old guard party leaders. Nor should it be

THE MEMORIAL COURT.

The common council is to be asked
 to remove the Court of Honor from
 Walnut Hill park because of its de- lapidated condition. Simultaneously the request will be made that the earliest possible action be taken to formulate a plan for a permanent memorial there.
 Again this matter comes up and again the wisdom and seemliness of removing this former tribute to the soldier dead, which is no longer a tribute but rather the reverse, is emphasized. Nothing will be done toward erecting permanent, proper memorial as long as the old make shift remains, and the end to be de- sired, of course, is the erection of such proper memorial. It is ear nestly to be hoped that the common council will take the proper steps in this matter, order the removal of all that remains of the old Court of Honor and inaugurate move for the establishment of permanent, proper one. The time that has been spent in discussing this matter could have been used advantageously in further in the plan for permanent memorial which all desire.

BONDS AND BUILDING.

No one is compelled to plunge blindly into a building plan merely because funds are in hand to do that building. Merely because bonds arc authorized for the school committee that committee is not compelled to go ahead and build if it sees prices are high.
 A year or so ago Roger Babson stated that progressive cities were planning to prepare to do ten years work in five years, because of the good market for municipal bonds. The fact was emphasized at that time because of it's value for future ref erence. The situation is the same { today; the market for municipal bonds is good and there is no telling ] how long it will remain so with the feeling against tax exempt securities becoming more general.
 But news comes from Washington TUT tuc Sdkc Ol lue trade itself. all government construc- tion work may be, stopped until costs are deflated at least to the level of a year ago. It is said that unless the imitation can be curbed in some such way as this it is feared another general strike by the building public will result in the virtual stoppage of all construction work. This would work a hardship to the whole manu- featuring and industrial structure.
 Authorization, already given, of school bonds needed to meet the school committees building program, was wise. It will be wise, also for the school committee to consider the present cost of building in their plans. This feeling at Washington should be considered by such com mittee and action taken advisedly after study of the labor situation and building cost in the light of such information.

Playing Politics.
(Meriden Journal)

Representative Christ of New Brit
 ain is an earnest young man who | has endeavored to do good deal to | benefit his community and he is usu- ally found on the sane side of what | ever is advanced. Still we rather take exception to a remark that he l made publicly the other evening when he stated that he liked to play politics He said: T like to play politics, as some men like to play
 golf" Now that sounds innocent enough in itself, but somehow it seems to strike the keynote of the attitude of so many men who are
 more or less interested in politics. They say that they play" politics and that is just what they mean, for
 politics is game with them and they
 like to play the game skilfully ob- serving all the rules and trying all the honest little tricks to win. They
 bluff and they raise, they call and they lay down, just as they would in the game which so many of them liken to politics and in which they take the same kind of interest.
 Politics IS not game, that IS III the stricter sense, but instead it is the term that is used to designate that part of a citizens duty to elect the best men and women to office and to get the best possible legisla- ton by lawmaking bodies. It is a se- rious part of citizenship, something that should be considered as impor- tant as any duty that falls to any man or woman's lot and as long as it is looked at as game, it will not be taken seriously.

A NEW YALE TUNE.

Leaving the war out of considera.
 ton entirely, the proposition to sinl | Yale's old song Bright College | Years" to any air other than the
 would have been generally drowned | down upon ten years ago. Today
 again leaving the war out of consid-
 eration, there is general feeling
 that change is all right. When the
 reason for the suggested change is
 added, namely that Yale men do not care to continue singing their great song to the German air, the approval
 is pretty general. The attitude is sig
 nificant and shows the waning
 strength of the power of tradition,
 not necessarily at Yale, but every
 where.
 Many years ago-about Bob Cook S time, for nstance-Harvard would have considered it a great breach of propriety to have man who has accomplished such football wonders at his own institution as it's coach give his valuable services to another institution. It simply wasn't done, and there was good reason why it wasn't done, acdording to the mental attitude of men of that time. Today there is regret, but there is lacking that strong denunciation on the ground of sentiment that would have been in evidence years ago, that Haughton goes to Columbia.
 The truth is the traditional senti- ment of affection is not as powerful as it used to be and this fact might just as well be recognized. Some may say that sentiment" inspires the suggested change in the matter of the Yale song. It is not sentiment. It is very practical matter of pres ent unpopularity of the German. The old-time strong sentiment of af- lection for the tune, were it to retain | that strength, would brush aside any | dislike of the people whose song it is. There is certainly no reason to cling to an air that is offensive to any Yale men for any reason. The change will be made and this passing | of another old tradition is of interest 70 others than Yale men as another of the changing times.

BUSINESS STRONG.

The impressive fact about Roger Bapson's weekly articles is the con- tinued optimism based upon condi. tions as he actually finds them. The Babsonchart shows new high rec ord, general business having ad- vanced two per cent and now regis tering per cent above normal This strength has been of steady growth with almost no set-backs and "the end is not yet" Provided conserv- ative progressiveness remains the slo- gan, the indications are that general business will continue at this high level with prospect of new high rec ords And it is to be remembered that this "5 per cent above normal" allows for the natural increase in business that would come normally. The figure is not a fictitious one, rep resenting normal growth as un- usual improvement.
 As MT. Babson has pointed to the improvement of certain parts of New York state and certain parts of the Middle West in their industrial aspect. quite apart from agricultural conditions. he now says that Iron and steel plants, great chemical plants, mills and factories of all kinds are now found in this section (she South). sa Alabama may k,come the greatest industrial state

ELLIS IS FREED WHEN NO ONE APPEARS AGAINST HIM
Detective Was Accused of Having Kidnapped Former British sailor
 in Love With Miss CuIbcrson

Newark, N. J., March 19.---John r Ellis, former private detective who was accused of Kidnapping Alexandef F. Robertson, a former gunner in the British royal artillery and suitor for the hand of Miss Mary Culberson, daughter of former Senator Culber- son of Texas, was freed today by tgudge Stickel. The kidnapping in- dictment was dismissed when the court was told that Robertson had re- fused to testify against Ellis, declar- ing he wished to avoid the pub licity which would attend trial.
 Robertson charged that Ellis had forced him to leave his home in Bloomfield on the pretext that he was wanted in New York on a charge Of stealing property of the British War Veterans association. Instead of taking him to New York however, Robertson charged Ellis took him to Boston and tried to place him on a steamer bound for Buenos Aires.
 Mrs. Mary Andrews. an aunt with whom Robertson had lived, obtained his release after complaining to the British embassy at Washington.

USE OF THE BIBLE.

There Is no harm in forgetting fol a moment the theological discussions about the Bible and its inspiration oi lack of it. and considering tho prac. tical use to which it is being put according 10 reports made at the | meeting of the Council of Boards ot Benevolenee of the Methodist Epis. copal church, held In Chicago re. gently. It Is said that even the Japa. nese press quotes the Bible more often than it does many other re. ligious books and that Premier Mussolini, of Italy, asserts that he finds the book an invaluable guide and help. It is known fact that the most intelligent of men consult the Bible frequently they, more per haps than people of less mental acu- men, being able to appreciate it and it's practical wisdom.
 It is difficult to believe that the Bible is quoted more frequently to- day than in the past when it's say ings were used often in ordinary con- versation. It is quite possible to be- lieve. however, that the book is used more intelligently, less as conven- tional authority and more as a book containing thoughts which are worth needing. Quite aside from Rny re- ligious inspiration to be obtained from it, the Bibles worth is incal- culable from purely practical stand point.

NO REASON FOR A CHANGE.

Many republican voters in the third ward have been disagreeably sur prised to learn that there is opposi- tion to the renomination of Maxwell S. Porter as councilman. The an nouncement has served as a boom- erang by solidifying the Porter vote and making it doubtful whether he can be unseated.
 No reasons are given why MT. Por- ter should not be returned. The nearest excuse to a reason is that someone else wants his place. Back of that perhaps, can be heard the voice of group which would like to control the common council so that its own objects might be achieved.
 Tn the brief period during which MT. Porter has been member of the common council he has served we'll. He has shown interest in pub lie problems and has voted independ- ently. He is young and has the en- thusiasm of youth, as has been dem onstrated by the close attention he has given his work.
 Of MT. Judd, whose name has been mentioned in connection with MT. Porter's place, we have no criticism to offer. But we don't think that some of his supporters are entirely altruistic in their desire to get MT. Porter out and MT. Judd in. In ad- dition, MT. Judd has not been a member of the council and MT. Por- ter has.
