NEWINGToN,s KICK

If garbage being taken to Newing. ton were dumped upon the highway. there would be just cause for com plaint by the residents of that town bat the manner in which refuse from New Britain Is being disposed of there at present, to residents of New Brit ain at least, does not appear detri- mental to the town. Objections voiced at 8 town meeting there evidently re- suited from propaganda that ignored . all the facts.
 As long as 1t is not contrary to the law In Newington to possess pigs, 1t will not be contrary to the law to feed them upon such garbage as the pig appetite demands. Garbage that is used as fertilizer enriches the soil. in creasing it's value, to which there can be no logical objection. Garbage that is spread upon land leased for the pur- pose becomes a part of the soil and injures nobody.
 There is plenty of land in the town of Newington. The population is small. If garbage Is disposed of near residences, that is something for the health authorities to regulate.
 Our Newington friends, many of whom are employed in New Britain, should endeavor to see this matter with fairness to all concerned. New Britain would not unnecessarily harm the prospects Of this beautiful section to the north; in fact, the city is inter ested in Newington's future and wishes to see 1t develop to the full extent of it's possibilities,

MI.ATHEn NANI.s

tt Is curious iA note how journals
 lie Ralladiums who have heen ad,
 vocaling the nomination of Gov, Al
 smith in and out of season for months have suddenly begun falling away with remarks in effect that he cannot he nominated,
 The next step is to claim that he haf heen no man nf presidential call her, that he is not well enough liked in states outside of New York, New JAtsey. Connecticut, Massachusetts. Rhode Island. Delaware and Mary land; and that he could not be elected if nominated.
 It turns out today that Smith has not materially lost his chances at the Democratic convention, that he still had sufficient votes today to veto Me- Adno on the basis of the two-'hirds rule. and that what good has been said of him in the past holds equally well for the present,
 The governors attitude throughout the entire convention has been proper. He is willing 10 quit if McAdoo is willing to drop out. smiths followers, it is said, have about given ID hope of seeing him nominated; but they haven't given up hope Of preventing McAdoo from attaining the nomina- ton. It is their duty to the Demo- cratic party to stick to their guns as long as McAdoo Is in the field. Me Adoo is no longer entitled to nomina- ton and Smith does a service to him self. his party and the country as whole by holding on until the McAdoo menace Is definitely waved aside.

MErInN.s WRONG CHESS

Last year. when Secretary of the Treasury Mellon was fighting the idea of adjusted compensation for war veterans, he pointed to the condition Of inc federal treasury as an argument against the proposal. Nothing but financial disaster was ahead, he point cd out; and instead of arranging to spend additional sums. it should he necessary 10 retrench to the point Of parsimony
 Then along came October and the secretary got a little more optimistic. He surprised the country by estimat- ing that the national treasury would have surplus of s52s.O0c. .00O at the end sf the fiscal year, June 80, 1924.

MAY RETURN TO HOSPITAL

Asa result of the attempt by agents of the department of the state agen- cies and institutions to separate his | family and take his wife and children away from him, Joseph Andrews or Elm street, whose family difficulties have been in the papers several times within the past few weeks, may be forced to undergo another surgical operation at the New Britain general hospital. He has already lost weeks time because of an injury and now is unable to do anything except the lightest kind of work.
 Andrews was in the local hospital for an operation and during that time his wife was forced to appeal to the authorities for aid. The need of outside help continued for awhile after he returned from the hospital. and he accepted charity while. en- deavoring to pay off his hospital bills.
 The department of state agencies and institutions conceived the plan of transporting Mrs. Andrews and her four children, three by a former mar riage and one the child of her pres ent husband, back to Belchertown, Mass, their former home, from which place they later returned.
 Inquiries are being made by. .An- drews and his friends to ascertain whether or not he has grounds for a damage suit against the state aid de- partment. '

SETTLE IT

, Mayor Paonessa has his hands or the garbage problem and it is in [ fair way of being adequately solved lF the near future.
 By the end or this week it will be definitely known whether the city can 70 ahead with an appropriation of si2.ooo for garbage disposal. or whether 1t will be necessary to ex- pend more money for a service that ~ill satisfy the public.
 The mayor 1t appears is convinced that poor service which arouses the ire of innumerable householders is dear at any price: and that if 1t is necessary to expend more money to obtain proper service for this city. there Is nothing to do about 1t but meet the bill.
 This is the only proper attitude to take. Garbage simply must be collect ed regularly and if four wagons are insufficient, more must be added to meet the requirements
 The necessity for an expanded gar bage service in New Britain should be cause for satisfaction rather than municipal complaint. It indicates that the city Is growing constantly and that there are more people to be served. Under such circumstances in- creased costs in collecting garbage is an increase on the surface only; there are more people here to pay for 1t. so that the increased cost per capita can- not be much. There Is more property here to tax in order to pay such bills, and there are more people here to foot them.
 The public wants good service at the lowest possible price: and does not want bad service at lower price.

END HE FRISCO

Common sense seems to have en- tirely departed from the Democratic convention in New York. It is running wild and nobody appears on the hori- zon with sufficient power and authori- ty to stop it. A boss is needed-an old-tirne. hard listed. hard headed ruthless boss who can shove the managers into a smoke filled room" and tell them what they need to know. eliminate the useless persihage and force them to speedily nominate some body.
 Gov. Smiths offer to withdraw if McAdoo did the same was characters- tic of the man. McAdoo's refusal to withdraw also was characteristic Of the man. Smith puts his party above ambition; McAdoo puts himself above party.
 Ralston should not have withdrawn He Is well liked. is capable and would make strong run. Ralston has a better chsce of defeating Coolidge than either Smith or McAdoo. as things now stand. The need for some strong hand--a boss-here Is again apparent. one who could tell delegates Ralstons two withdrawals should

SOCIALISTS CHANGE TACTICS

The Socialist party of America ir
 convention assembled at Cleveland
 failed to nominate candidate fot
 president, but instead formally enlist
 ed under the banner of LaFollette. In
 other words. Socialists despairing of attaining success as party. will line
 up behind the independent candidacy
 of the Wisconsin senator. The plat
 form of LaFollette, considered as con-
 taining most socialistic blanks of
 value, naturally was endorsed. It is the first time that the Socialist
 party in America has definitely given up its independence and compromised
 with another party. The party was strongest in 1920, when it boiled s19,- 799 votes for Debs for president; but this did not represent great increase over 1912, when Debs polled S97 ,01l votes. In between these years the party went down to nearly s0o,0oO votes for Benson.
 It can be assumed that the Socialist party in 1924 represented nearly 1,- oOO, 900 votes. This number not only is insufficient to win an election, but as it is spread over a wide expanse Of territory the party can not attain representation in congress anywhere near in proportion to its numbers.
 The throwing of this 100000 to- ward LaFollette will he of benefit to this aspiring gentleman on the whole, but more particularly in those western states where he will put up his live Hest battle.
 In addition to the Socialists LaFol- lette can count upon the followers of the Cleveland Progressive conven- ton, Farmer-Laborites insurgent Re- publicans, and the radicals and antis of every hue.
 At no time in tho history of Ameri- csn politics have the radicals been so united behind a. man of national vote getting prominence, and an ostensibie Republican at that. Of course, La Toilette does not expect 10 defeat ,ither the Republican or the Demo- cratic candidate, but he does eS- oect to carry sufficient states to put 1 crimp in the old parties, and throw he election if possible into the house # representatives. which his bloc would control He then would dictate he president.
 It isa grandiose scheme, more like Y of fulfllment than at any time in .meriean history. Conditions have ever been so jumbled and never SO avorable for somebody to throw the monkey wrench into the ational political machinery. LaFol- ,tte has the wrench in his possession nd is practicing the art of accurate , lrowing.

NOT WORRIED

Ii so, with the house left to decide the issue, the present political division might make it impossible for the reps resenlatives to agree on a president. In such case presumably President Coolidge would go on holding offies pending his successors selection. But this isn't worrying the progressiyes. If they get a plurality of the votes. they say 1t will mean the speedy end of both old parties and a realignment along liberal and conservative ideas. with the latter certain to sweep the country at the succeeding election.

BOTH ALIKE

While the progressives have hoped all along to draw a good many votes from the democrats as we'll AS the re- pubieans, the general impression. until the New York convention was pretty we'll along. was that their heaviest toll would be taken from the republicans. But the way the convention has split the democratic party has changed this opinion. The belief now is that voters in shoals will desert both old groups 10 get under the progressive banner.
