 The Record, however, might well have told the story of the irste school teacher who. angered by the news paper headline that Teacher Quits. D demanded a change to Teacher Re- signs" as being more dignifed. But" remarked the harassed editor, you see Resign is too long to go in our space, while Quits fits.''
 And, since the Records editorial dealt with Governor Templeton's de- cision to have press agent, as ex- pressed by the Record, it might not be out of the way to call the attention of that newspaper to the reported news which presents the Record as misrepresenting the governors ac- tions.
 The Record says: "When he tGov- ernor Templeton' had his name plate put on his pew %", while it ap- pears from what would seem to be a reliable source that it was the clergyman of Governor Templeton's church at whose suggestion the name plate was put on the pew and that Governor Templeton knew nothing about 1t until he went to church Sun day morning.
 Undoubtedly the Record was un- aware of this situation, but it seems to be a bit unkind to persist in this misrepresentation if, as seems to be the case, it is a misrepresentation.

Policeman Falls to Ground After Los. ing Grip But Another Re-
 covers Machine

A chase after a stolen coupe last night by Patrolman William Doherty resulted in the recovery of the ma chine after the driver had Ieaped in at Pratt station and run away, leaving the machine to run up an embank- ment and into telegraph pole. A search of the vicinity failed to result in the capture of the driver.
 The automobile, bearing Connec- ticut registration number 37-743, had been reported to the police earlier as having been stolen from Hartford and was seen coming along West Main street by Patrolman Charles McGrath who was on duty in front of the Cap- itol theater. McGrath ran after the machine and jumped onto the running board but was unable to hold on and fell to the street. He blew his whistle and attracted the attention of Doherty who was on duty little below the scene.
 Patrolman Doherty jumjed onto a machine owned by Wilbur Bailey of Winthrop street and ordered him to chase the fleeing automobile. They pursued it to Pratt station, where three of the tires of the coupe flew off as it was crossing the tracks and caused the machine to make for the The driver jumped be- fore 1t hit the pole and made his get away.

DIGNITY AND HEADLINES

one is inclined to agree with the
 Meriden Record in its mild criticism
 Of Governor Templetons theory that
 the title always should precede the
 mention Of the President of the United
 States and other high officials in news
 paper headlines. The omission Of the
 title does not in any way indicate
 disrespect. and. following the line of reasoning of Governor Templeton only
 to show ones difference or opinion
 from his it is impossible sometimes to state whether President Coolidge said something in his capacity as president. or as a private citizen. This is the distinction the governor makes. Furthermore it is often the case that a man who considers himself great" prefers not 10 have any title or other prefix 10 his name.
 Many people who appear as public entertainers advertise themselves merely by one name. indicating that they are go distinguished they need no Identifying surname or initials. one quite ignorant American, travel ing abroad. had but one initial painted on his steamer trunk. placing a circle about it. feeling that, a single ''C." without other identifying marks. would appear more dignifed than would inc customary marks.

YOUNG GRADUATES

There is a deal of envy in the hearts 1 of people who read of the 146 young | people who are about 10 be graduated i from the Central Junior High School
 Adults, looking back upon their own | lives, happy and successful though they may have been, can not help but feel how much happier and how much more successful they might have been if, beginning just about the time when they were at the age Of
 these young graduates, they had
 realized life's full possibilities and had
 set their standards and ambitions a
 little higher. Those lives-the lives of
 these grown up people in comparative
 youth now, or in middle age or in de-
 clining yesrs--may have been spent in
 doing splendid work, in the ministry.
 the healing Of the sick, the minister
 ing to the material wants of their
 patrons, in constructive work of all
 sorts. Nevertheless they know that a little more thought, bit broader vi- sion, a deeper understanding would have brought to them a far great joy of life through the far greater &C., complishments adding to the wealth of the world, material and spiritual and artistic
 It is with just faint hope that a presentation Of the feelings of older men and women concerning these young graduates will encourage the youth of the city to find that deeper significance. that broader vision now, that these thoughts are given. Hap pincss. beauty of living. and all the worlds treasures are there for them to seize. They have the power. As they go on to further study or to some other work may they realize the won derful possession they have in their youth and hope and may that resli- zation encourage them 10 dare all splendid things.

ANDERSON GUILTY

| The verdict of guilty in the case 1 of William II. Anderson, New York
 state superintendent of the Anti Saloon League, who has been on trial for forgery in connection with the handling of certain funds of the ] league, is scarcely surprise to those newspapers. His answers, many
 times, have seemed evasive and in-
 complete, he has comported himself
 on the stand as one who has some
 thing to hide. he has undoubtedly
 been found guilty in the minds of the
 public before the jury brought in its
 decision. There may be still further
 charges proven against him, that re-
 mains to be seen.
 Ii is rather significant, this finding,
 in its application to the whole temper ance movement. Surely MT. Anderson knew what he was doing when he
 split" commissions. The inference is that the money thus obtained was used for his own purposes, far re- mote from the promotion of the Anti Saloon league. This modern crusader, worker for the general welfare, has gone so far as to make false entry of funds given to him and to his cause. While seemingly working for the elimination of liquor for the good of mankind, he has gotten his" out of the cash. proving himself to be a hypocrite as far as any morals are concerned Possibly his concern was not so much the good of mankind as the good of Anderson.
 Any movement involving public funds and public morals, will hence- forth be regarded with more suspicion than has generally been the case be- cause of the failing of one leader of the prohibition cause. Undoubtedly there are honest leaders, presevering in the fight for what they believe right because they are actuated by nothing else but love Of mankind and an in- 1, tense regard for the welfare of the nation. But the public will regard 1 with greater scepticism any who brand themselves as such hereafter.
 The charge of the judge in this case nas been stamped ss "eminently fair" Those who consider Anderson a mar VT" will place their opinion above hat Of the jurors who heard every bit Of the testimony
 But the important point in this ,ase is that the just charge of the udse 10 the jury emphasized the fact hat the admittedly false entry made .t Andcrson's direction in the books f the League, must have been made with guilty intent on Anderson's part n order to hold him guilty. The judge old tho jury he should not be held utility unless tho jury was convinced, ,eyond reasonable doubt, that An- orson made tho alteration in the looks with intent to defraud." So, y the verdict Of the jury. Anderson lands convicted Of acts done with the ntent 10 defraud

U,aInr fin Power

Stanley Baldwin. Conservative lead er resigned the British premiership, as expected. As was expected also, Ramsay Msc Donald, Labor leader, succeeded him. Under the English sys- tenn. Macdonald has to have a major- ity in Parliment to remain as premier. There aren't enough Labor members for this. He must get the Liberals to help him. They're willing to do so. as long as routine governmental business is transacted, but will sup port no radical measures. So though Macdonald and several Of his minis ters are Socialists. it can't but be a rather tonelcss government. Mac Donsld's first step was to propose putting the Rnhr under the League Of Nations, saying frankly the French policy there worries and ''exssper- ates'' the English.

More to Come?

This seems to leave a good deal still 10 be explained. Fall said he got si00.ooo from Mclean. but according to Mclean the check wasn't cashed. Fall said he never got "one cent'' either from Sinclair or Doheny "on &C., count Of any oil lease or UPON ANY OTHER ACCOUNT WHATSOEVER. |" According to Zevely and Doheny he DID, maybe not on account of any oil lease, but at any rate on SOME account. Also what about the s6S,- 900 Archie Roosevelt mentions. and the difference between the si25,00o Fall appears to have received from Sinclair and Doheny and the slSo, 900 that caraway thinks he spent?

Suffice 1t to say that no man or woman is safe from arrest today no matter how in- nocent, for no man or woman may feel sure that, in entering any res taurant, hotel, unfamiliar store or home even. he or she may not be guilty of entering place where liquor is sold.

WHAT'S GOING. .ON " THE WORLD

Before Albert B. Fall, as secretary of the interior, leased Cor according to Senator Walsh, father of the inves- tigation, virtually sold) the govern ment oil land at Teapot Dome. 'Wyo., to the H. r. Sinclair interest and at Elk Hills, CaIif., to the E. l.. Doheny interests he seemed very hard up. Couldn't even pay his taxes. Anyway he didn't. Afterward, he had money enough to buy a big new ranch and make improvements costing althogeth- er s1S0,000, Caraway estimates. Was there any connection between the oil leases and Falls improved financial status? That's what the pending inves- tigation is intending to find out.
New Britain herald., 1924-01-30
Others Blamed

Originally Teapot Dome and Elk Hills were the navy's. Secretary Donby turned them over to Fall, as secretary of the interior, to manage. Some Sem ators say this was very careless of Denby. They blame Assistant Sccre- tary of the Navy. Theodore Roosevelt IT,, too. Fault is found likewise with Attorney General Daugherty, on the ground that he wasn't alert enough, as tho governments lawyer, to pro- tect it's interest.

This loan was made AFTER the Teapot Dome lease. Like Doheny, he denied any connection between the loan and the lease.

Then Doheny was heard from. Ap- bearing before the investigators, he related it was HE who loaned $1o0,- ooo to Fall. to buy the ranch. He said he did it because he and Fall were very old friends. He did it some months before the Elk Hills lease was made and denied any connection between the loan and the lease. Doheny had said, but this was before the investigation. that he hoped to make s1oo,0oo,0oo on Elk Hills)
