GRAVE OF NOTED
 INDIAN IS FOUND
Remains Of Chief Nam,Puh LO,
 Cated in Idaho

Pocatello, Idaho, Oct. 10,-An an- cient Indian grave believed to hold the remains of Chief Nam-puh. the Piute Indian leader after whom the city of Nampa, Idaho, was named, has been found by k. w, Limbert, whose explorations in inc country now known as the CrateTs of the Moon national monument contribut- ed greatly to national recognition of that territory.
 While hunting in the desert close to the Nevada line recent, MT. Linn bert said he found flat rock upon which there was carved an arrow. Following the general direction of the arrow he found other rocks with similar carvings. The end of the line of arrow rocks was huge mound of stones with a flat one resting hori- zontally on top.
 Tho fiat rock was engraved Crudeiy with the figure of an Indian with abnormally large feet and hands; around the figure was circle, the death sign of the Flutes.
 The dead chief is reputed 10 have had enormously large feet and hands and it is a tradition that one of his feet was six inches wide and eighteen inches long. The attempt of the carver to show the large hands and feet leads Iimbert 10 believe that is the grave of Chief Nam-puh,

COOLIDGE DOES WELL TO
 HONOR THIS MAN,

In pursuance of our policy to give credit where 1t is due, political cam paign or no campaign, the Herald is glad to commend President Coolidge for waiving the civil service rules by issuing an executive order to the postmaster at St. Louis. Mo-, so that Michael B. Ellis, whose bravery in the A. E. F. procured for him congressional medal of honor might be added to the post office staff as clerk or carrier.
 The president could scarcely have done otherwise, yet 1t is refreshing to find him acting upon such a mat ter with dispatch after hesitating un- duly upon other matters of import ance.
 But such action does not erase the presidents earlier opposition to ade- quate remuneration for post office workers nor does 1t wash the bad taste from the mouths of ex-service men generally for his opposition to adjusted compensation to world-war veterans, which was brought about through congressional action over his veto.

AGAIN WE HONOR MEMORY
 OF COTI-MRUS

Tomorrow is Columbus Day, and numerous organizations and citizens in New Britain will honor the mem ory of the intrepid explorer who first proved to the civilized world of his time that a vast new continent lay between the shores of Europe and those of India which he sought.
 Columbus's exploit is known to all; his determination to proceed into the great unknown waters and his courage while sailing to the set ting sun cannot be over-emphasized by any person at any time. He had 6 great vision, a great idea; indeed, he was called a visionary and termed an idealist; perhaps there were large blocks of citizens of his day who dismissed him from their minds as being "a nut" to use modern colloquialism Of expressive distiac- tion.
 More men like Columbus are needed in every age; not men who seek new continents, as there arg none on the planet that remain un- explored. But men of ideas, courage and vision who refuse to be showed aside in quest of the ideals they cherish.
 The daring of Columbus set for ward the clock by centuries. He is q man the memory of whose achieve ments should always remain green
 The usual exercises by various organizations will feature the holi- day in New Britain. A good way for all citizens to celebrate is to tread up" on the historic Columbus trip and thereby refresh the mind upon this epoch-maElng discovery which came about through the hero ism and determination of one man Christopher Columbus.

NIASONs AND THE K. OF c.

Religious bigotry is being met with the formation of new organization of which Elihu Root, former secre- tary of state is prominently ldentl- fled. The spirit of toleration in economies, politics and religion is sought by the new body, and as a starter the local unit in Utica, N' 1'' was formed with 50 Protestants and 50 Catholics enrolled. Most of the former are Masons and most of the latter belong to the Knights of Columbus.
 The feeling of good will between Nasons and the k. of C. appears to he progressing rapidly. Upon several recent occasions, when the Masons opened new temples, bouquets or flowers and well wishes were sent b! the K. of C., and thanks and appre- citation were returned.
 One of the fundamental tenets of these two great organizations IS good citizenship, and they need not remain far apart in their quest or this goal.

SOFT-PEDAL SPELLBINDING

Unlike the candidate for vice-pres- ident on the Republican ticket, Gov. Bryan is not taking the stump. Gov. Bryan thinks governing Nebraska is more important than spel1binding.
 The two top takers in this campaign are Davis and Dawes. The president gets In a word edgewise about once a week; Gov. Bryan has been quiet since his statements prior to defense day.
 Campaigns have changed since Wilson's day. The war president, when he was running for reelection in 1916, was not above travelling about the country and meeting folks face to face. On campaign trips he made two or three important speeches day and spoke "a few words" from the rear platform at the smaller cities.
 Taft was the biggest traveller that ever occupied the White House. Dur ing campaigns he talked like a wind mill, and once, in a small Kansas town, let fly a statement extempore which did him great damage politi- cally.

RADIO IN THE CAMPAIGN NO WONDER-WORKER.

Last summer it was written and printed and spoken that the radio would completely revolutionize the election campaign this fall. It has had plenty of time to revolutionize the situation but so far as the naked eye and the attentive ear can deter mine, there is no change in the pa tient.
 The leading candidates have taken turns in telling it to the voters over the radio" and the assumption has been that there were millions of listeners" The radio is a treacher- ous instrument, however, for nobody can tell how the listeners hang on. There are stories to the effect that when political speakers and plenty of music are lon the air" at the same time, the speakers get it in the neck.
 To listen to a political speech over the radio requires a deep interest in politics, a keen perception of the is sues and, to get the maximum Of good out of it, an ability to differ entiate the bunk from the morsels of grain. Political statistics are ter ribIe over the radio-they go in one ear and out the other and are for gotten ten seconds later in the effort to keep up with the argument
 The campaign isn't being won or lost over the radio.

Coast Guard Speed Boats
 In War on Rum Runners

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 10.-The thirst for alcoholic liquor again is becoming expensive here, and in all cities of the Pacific northwest, be- cause of the governments plan to curb the transportation of illicit beverages on Puget Sound through the use of a fleet of rum hunters. The government boats have speed of A miles an hour'and are armed with machine guns.
 The government announcement that smugglers would be hunted down relentlessly in tlsr traffic from Canada to the American cities resulted in an immed ate increase in prices. Previously whiskey prices were so low that bootleggers were making small profits. The price of Canadian whiskey was raised s5 a case by wholesale bootleggers, and the retail price was increased 50 cents a quart. to q.
 Captain F. G. Dodge Of the Coast Guard service soon will have 2S rumhunting speed boats in opera tion.

25 Fears Ago Today
 From Paper of That Date

There is considerable criticism being made of Principal Smiley be- cause of his action in forblddng the Hartford High school football team to play here. His reason for such action is that on past occasions the visiting rooters have done so much damage to the town.
 A bicycIist ran over a little girl on High street this morning. This is the second time this scorcher has run into a pedestrian and inhabi- tants are indignant about his actions.
 Rev. Martin Gaudian attended a conference of the Connecticut Valley Lutheran ministers at New Haven today.
 Dr. Clark said yesterday that he intends to have the ice ponds tested to find out if any sewage goes into them.

GASOLINE TAX LIKE OLD
 ROAD TOLLS,

If Connecticut autoists were to be charged toll to ride over choice highways there would be a wall of indignation loud enough to awaken the dead; the wall would be especial ly ear-splitting if toll were collected oy the state instead of by private companies.
 We would be told on all sides that the state has no right to collect toll to build and maintain highways and that road toll charges are rem- nants Of an ancient day when people knew no better.
 Yet what is the state gasoline tax but a toll charge in another form?

SPECIALIZES IN WOMEN
Danube River Bandit Seizes Women and Children and Holds Them for Hanson,
Ransom.

Galatz, Rumania, Oct l0.-Oper- ating up and down the Danube river ir a powerful motor boat armed with a machine gun, Terenti, the noto- rious pirate. is still at large despite the united efforts of both Rumanian and Hungarian police to catch him. One of his late adventures was to fight his way through a company of Rumanian soldiers near Braila.
 Terenti makes a speciality of cap lures for ransom, and he prefers to gather in women and children of well-to-do families. He shows con- sideration to the poor fishermen and farmers along the river, who are friendR to him as a result, and warn him of the activities Of the police. He recently found two girls who had besn bathing in the river near Ga latz and whisked them away in his speedy boat before they could make an outcTy.

WHAT BINGHAM WILL DO IF
 ELECTED GOVERNOR,

The New Haven Journal-Courier, being dutiful Republican machine organ, opines it knows Hiram Bing- ham personally and is in a position to give an opinion as to what he will do if elected governor.
 The New Haven paper, of course, hasn't conferred with the Yale pro- lessor, but says u knows what it is talking about from its intimate knowledge of his style.
 If elected governor, the paper states, Bingham will not stand on ceremony in the state house but any reputable citizen will have access to him. "As governor he will not only welcome but invite suggestions from the party leader q. Henry Rora back) or any other reputable citizen who had useful suggestions to offer" de- clares the New Haven oracle.
 Being open to suggestions from all corners sounds well in theory. One can be open to suggestions and still not act upon them. It is certain that in the event of Bingham's cleo ton the suggestions of J. Henry will amount to more in the estimation of Bingham than all the other sugges- tions in the state combined.
 And the venerable boss won't need to call at the executive chamber in person to see that they reach the governor, either.
