Up 20 this time each OF tho boys

Yes. Loeb told ma ne struck the

This was the only reference made
10 the incident by DR.. Glaeck. but
DR.. James whitney Hall. chief OF

pARDOSING wIFERS"

The pardoning Of prisoners after and sentenced is by it's nature one of the most important administrative functions before a state board. It Is a legal prerogatiye that easily can be abused: and we are not sure but that it is being abused in the name of mercy guided by mswkish sentiment.
 For the board presided over by Governor Templeton to pardon mur- derers sentenced to state prison for life Is going far enough to cause con- servatiye minds in Connecticut to make more than passing mental note Of the proceedings, Two Connecti- cut "lifers" uere announced as pardoned today
 s.rman T. Beeman, of Lhchheld county. shot and killed his wife and tried to kill himself. Later his father, shocked at the action of his son, com miited suicide. Beeman, after serving Ia years Of life sentence, now goes lree.
 Charles Snyder, of New Haven, also killed his wife and was convicted of second degree murder in 1891, Snyder was in a drunken rage when he hur- dered his wife. The good woman had refused to give him more money for the purchase of more liquor, William q. Baxter, secretary Of the Connecticut Prison Association. appeared for Shy der at the hearing.
 In some states, if not in most Of them Al least one Of these two men would have been hanged.

CHANGING A TUNE

The convention that will nominate Calvin Coolidge as G. 0. r. standard
 bearer opened today in Cleveland with l the very congressional party cohorts who voted against and defeated nearly every bill and resolution the president favored, and favored and voted for nearly everything he opposed, present to take part in the ballyhoo.
 Because of this it y a unique gathering. The name of Coolidge is the keynote of the gathering; he is credited with being the sole reliance of the party. Yet the republican stall warts in and out of congress, including the old guard which still is in the sad dle as of yore. paid scsnt attention to the Coolidge policies at time when some such recognition would have earned for the president the synonym Of a Great Leader. The president has given the country some excellent statements of facts and attempted to hand his congressional children some serious advice; but the bad boys in the republican party simply wouldn't mind the teacher. But today they gather in convention and will wear out their lungs for Calvin.

POSTAL PROMISES

Postmaster Erwin and Superin- tendent of Mails Grace return from Washington with promises that the service in New Britain will be improv- ed. Inspectors will be sent here to check up the claims made in behalf of the city's needs, and if they are found reasonable--as of course they will be--Postmsster General New probably will order that local require ments be fulfilled.
 The post office department of the government appears to be conducted upon peculiar principle. Post masters are appointed, and then tho postmaster general by law cannot rely sufficiently upon their integrity and knowledge of local needs to give them permission 10 expand the service of post offices as local needs may require. It appears that proper service cannot be given in city like New Britain without begging permission from the Washington office and then going through the customary governmental red tape.
 The postal service has suffered greatly in efficiency during the last dec ade. It has been getting worse. in- stead Of improving, in the estimation Of innumerable business men. New Britain has be,n one Of the sufferers, yet there have been hundreds or municipalities which likewise have been complaining, About year ago [ Poet master General Now attempted to avoid newspaper criticisms Of the service by eNpoundine ukasa that newspapers were to be handled eN- reditiously through the mails; and al least in theory this is being done. In practice, however, the speed of pass ing Lxnnbgh the mails is about where it was before.
 During tho Wilson administrations the newspapers were filled with criti- cisms Of the postal service. Since the present administration took power tho criticisms have ceased, but the service hasn't improved.

softened the enterprising pioneers of
 manufacture, and ultimately would
 have resulted in developing less able
 men. Success when it finally came, was hard won but is permanent.
 The reason why moro nuts are be- ing made in New Britain than any where else--not human nuts" but she worthwhile kind-is because na- tive talent and experience is at the helm
 Other Connecticut cities have simi- lar histories. Take Hartford as an instance. There are 4s state capitals in the land, so that being in this cate gory is no striking ad, antage except for sight seeing. New York city is the financial center of the nation, if not of the world. but it isn't regarded as the insurance center. Hartford has that distinction. Insurance money from every city. town and hamlet in the United States flows into Hartford. Why should this be the case? There were no natural advantages for the insurance business in Hartford, but the Hartford insurance pioneers possessed that something" which created their city into a great center for insurance contracts.
 Again native talent won.
 Returning to comparison with Oklahoma City. there is this to be said. The Oklahoma metropolis, like great many other far-western me tropoi, is commercial center for the farming industry. It cannot com pete with New Britain in the man ufacture Of hardware and home needs nor with other Connecticut cities in the manufacture of products on a large scale. The native bent Of Oklahomans is agriculture and the pastoral pur- suits, lately augmented by the produc- ton of crude oil, which is not manu- tacturcd but is gobbled up from the lap of mother nature. The men who deal in its products live in its me tropolis. Trey are not manufacturers, but business men and traders. From all accounts they are making money and have no desire to experiment in other fields where they may lose money,
 It take more than capital and hunch to start manufacturing success fully. Half a dozen requisites could be named, but nothing takes the place of innate native talent, augmented by holding ones nose to inc grlndstone.
