HITTING THE BILL,S EYE

The Hartford Times pointedly re- bukes the Bridgeport Telegram after criticism for giving advice to the Republican state organization. The Bridgeport paper warned John NJ. Wadhams that it will not help him to be known this year as Ike Ull- mans candidate, backed by the Hartford Times, Democratic.'
 This brought a dignihed and ef- fective reply from the Times:
 MT. Wadhams should not be
 frightened by such chatter. It
 is not his fault if Colonel Ull-
 man, among others, prefers him
 above Lieutenant Governor
 Bingham as candidate for
 governor. As for The Times
 backing, let it be said that The
 Times doesn't have to consider
 what the Republican state or
 ganization wants or doesn't want,
 so it is free always to speak it's
 own opinions The Illness re-
 spect for MT. Wadham's ability
 isn't likely to injure him any"
 It would be a grewsome travesty of democracy if only Republican newspapers were regarded as con- petent to opinionate about the Re- publican party, or Democratic news papers on the Democratic party. The truth is, the Wadhams candi- dacy for the gubernational nomina- tion has been furthered in Connect- cut almost entirely by independent and Democratic newspapers, with here and there an occasional inde- pendently inclined Republican paper joining in. So far as the hide-b bound Republican papers are concerned, every last one of them seems to be tied to the tail of the Republican or ganization kite.
 The more the Hartford Times and independent papers encourage Wad- hams, the better his chance of se- curing the nomination; and to say the least, the likelihood of Wad- hams making headway in the con- vention grows daily as result of the publicity he has received from anti organization newspapers.
 The rank4 and file of Republicans do not appear to be paying much attention to the organization papers, evidently preferring something to provoke thought rather than to nod over.
 We don't think the organization machinists will succeed in silencing the Times, and we also think they will pay considerable attention to it. As for ourselves, the old battle axe is always handy.

the state, A photograph of the park, with the state capitol in the back ground, was included in a series of photographs used by a prominent advertiser and appeared in maga- zines reaching millions of people re- gently. It was not only a splendid free advertisement for Hartford, but for the state as well.
 The gaudy signs of the New Haven railroad attached to the via duct nearby of which mention was made recently. do not happen to be the only violations of the aesthetic sense near the park. Indeed, if one stands in the park and takes in tho surrounding territory his eyo cannot miss galaxy of signs that are at- tached to the top of buildings.
 Owners Of property surrounding the park seem to be hard put for rev. enue If they permit such dishgure- ment. In the first place, the value of their properties are enhanced by adjoining the park; but not content 10 enjoy this "unearned increment" they greedily seize upon the oppor- tunity to flare ugly and blatant signs in the faces of those who utilize the park. Not only business, but a phiIanthropic institution joins in providing these eyesores, Haunting the biggest sign of all to boost con- tributions to a hospital fund.
 There is a fundamental maxim of the common law that a person can- not use his property to the detri- ment of others; but to use property in providing an eyesore for others has not been brought into the cate gory of such prohibited use. There is no reason why it shouldn't be. and the time should be near at hand when the courts, if they intend to keep step with the march of prog ress, will take this view, as they have been urged to do ever since the agi- tation against unsightly signs gained headway.
 It is useless to attempt to educate property owners who think more of few extra dollars than they do of the education. If no way can be found to prevent the surroundings of a glorious public park from being Uttered with repulsive signs then we must confess ourselves less adept in civic government than the cities of many continental nations, where such monstrosities are not permitted

\ WORLD PRODUCING.

W shhoDSSAsNe
 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon back from Europe, predicts an early return of prosperity on the continent as a result of the Dawes plan being applied through the London agree- ment,, signed few days ago. The secretary while abroad had conferred with Premier Herriot in an unofficial capacity.
 Secretary of Commerce Hoover, in commenting upon the number of men being sent by American banks and business houses to Germany since signing of the Dawes plan, said 1t was a safe proposition to indulge in German trade now that business is being stabilized through the plan.
 American firms are showing quick enterprise in taking advantage of the new conditions, Trade channels are being opened up which virtually have been closed for decade. The effect upon trade will be most whole some.
 An early result of the application of the Dawes report will be that Europe goes back to work in earnest. German production has been greatly interfered with since the world war by intermittent upheavals, the fall of the mark and the Ruhr invasion. The German industrial machine is expected to begin operating on an eff ficiency basis within a year or so of the Dawes report pacification, and the effect in the world markets will be tightening up of competition. England. before the war chief in dustrial competitor of Germany, greatly desires the rehabilitation of German industry, however, having learned that competition in the \ world markets Is not as important as selling goods to the competitor. AL though Germany was serious com- petitor to England, she likewise was her best customer; and it is the de- sire of England that this buying power be restored.
 American business men likewise desire to see the Germans start buy ing. The western meat packers, who are quite influential in business cir cles, want to sell more canned meat and provender there, and the farm- CTS likewise wish to see the Euro pean markets open wider.
 Since the war France has been turning to industry to far greater extent than ever before. Before the war France was mostly an agricul- |
 tural nation, raised enough for its own needs and its manufacturers made very little impression in other lands. But the northern district of France, devastated by the war, has been largely built up and the fac tories are modernly equipped France has been selling an enormous amount of goods in the Balkans and Poland and has arisen as competi- , tor of England.
 In England industry has been ex- ceedingly bad; s10.000.000 a day has been spent by the government in unemployment doles. The burden has been well-nigh unbearable, and cannot continue indefinitely. Eng land expects a great improvement when Germany is able to purchase what she produces. and the trade agreement with soviet Russia, if rati' fed by parliament, likewise Is ex pected to stimulate British indus try. gA
 All observers agree that th' world now can look forward to period of peace and industry. In thu words of the man in the street, "lt

FEDERAL AND STATE POWERS

The concentration of power
 at Washington is sapping the
 strength of the government in
 all of it's main and sub divisions.
 The very life Of the republic de-
 bends upon the retention by the
 states of the powers stated orig
 finally in the constitution and
 the restriction of the federal ! government to the particular
 powers then granted it by the
 states. More important than
 any other thing is the recovery
 by the states of the rights that
 have been taken from them, { greatest among them the prin-
 ciple of local government"
 New Haven Journal-Courier.
 In other words, We must be going to the dogs, if we are not already in dogland. It verify is a popular thesis, this supposition that the gov- ernment Is getting too strong and the states too weak.
 The states today lack the powers stated originally in the constitution and consequently it is quite useless to battle for their retention" even though the very life of the repub- lie" depends upon it. Too many Amendments have been ratified into the constitution, and goodly part of them have curtailed states rights in some way. Yet how can the states recover the rights taken away from them in this manner? Perhaps a movement can be started in New Haven to subtract some of the amendments.
 As to local self government, some of that for the towns within a state might also help. The frequent! amended federal constitution has at tempted to curtail the powers of oul states, but so have the state bureaus curtailed the natural rights of towns
 After all, the wise man worries les about his rights and is more in terested in his duty.

Swiss O. K. Electrically
 Lighted German Cars Only

Berne, Sept. 5.-The federal ralt- way administration has announced that in the future only electrically equipped German railway coaches and sleepers will be permitted to cross the Swiss frontier in transit to Italy. The order was issued as a result of the railway disaster last April at the Swiss exit of the Sim .plon tunnel, in which Dr. Helfferich, former German finance minister, was among those killed.
 Gas lighted coaches were said to be responsible for the fire that started ir,aasdiately after the wreck.

GHPATRIC AND HIS FRIENDS

G. Harold Gilpatric, former state treasurer and cashier of the First National bank at Putnam, apparently does not lack friends in his home town despite the wrecking of the bank, an act ascribed to Gilpatric. When the latter was arraigned be- fore a federal commissioner, and charged with embedding $100,000, loyal friends, many with money in the wrecked bank, furnished the neces- sary bonds of s50,0OO. Twenty-six joined in providing the money, al- though A signed as being prepared to contribute to the amount.
 This rallying of friends around 6 man under grave charges is not unique in the annals of friendship, Regardless of the merits of the charges in this particular case, or in any similar case, a friend would be unworthy of the name were he to turn his back during trouble. The real test of friendship indeed, comes at such time.
 The 26 friends of Gilpatric, how ever, who have furnished the $50, GOO bonds, stand small chance of sustaining a loss because of it. The condition of Gilpatric precludes any such possibility. Even were this not the fact, it is safe to conclude friend- Iy bondsmen readily would have been found.
 There is a popular maxim to the effect that if one is to judge the true worth of a man one should base such judgment upon those who know him best in other words, his friends and neighbors who see most of him l This rule does not hold good in all cases, however; in the Gilpatric case his friends were as much surprised al the defalcations with which he i' charged as was the state at large The difference is that his friends and neighbors have doggedly determined to see him through to the best o their ability, while the judgment o the remainder of the state is, to sa! the least, less friendly.
 The Putnam cashier is in trouble for two reasons: He apparently car ried out frenzied speculative deal for his own benefit, and he played Santa Claus to others by loaning th' banks funds upon fiimsy security Those who benefited through tn latter method would not be inclinet to think i'll of him now that he is il trouble, and perhaps some of then are among the bondsmen.
 Despite the so-called investigation and announcements that have bee made in, connection with the Putnam bank failure, a bevy of questions stiI 20 unanswered. Some of thes questions were pointedly made b
 Judge George C. Holt of WoodstocF The judge wrote the Putnam Patrio as follows: If the bank has bee ruined by the abstraction of it's SC curities, by whom, when and in wha amounts were they ahstrdcted2 Wh received them or shared in then What were they used for? Whs has become of them? If such rui has been caused by loans, mad without security to irresponsibl
