THE THIRD TICKET

The La Follette-W Wheeler party will not have a complete state ticket in Connecticut, it is to be judged from the result of convention held by the third party in New Haven, which was attended by 300 leaders in the third party movement of the state, including Gilbert H. Roe, di- visional head of the party in this section of the country
 Seven state electors, a complete campaign committee and the plans to have Senator Burton> K. Wheeler come to make speech in New Haven on September 6 resulted from the convention.
 Lack of a state ticket will place the La Toilette party at a disad- vantage in Connecticut; but it will be no more disadvantageous than IS the case in the many other states where no state ticket is being placed in the field. The La Toilette plan is to inculcate scratching of tickets In order to vote for the third ticket and state candidates deemed desirable. To certain extent this works, but if is A fact recognized by political visea cres that the amount or scratching indulged in at elections IS not yet enormously extensive, all though much more so in recent years than in the days when almost everybody voted one or the other ticket straight"
 To a great many persons the party t,bal is something difficult to avoid when voting. It isf so much easier to vote the ticket straight" than to he more discerning and select such candidates from the tickets as sp- pear worthy.
 The third ticket situation in Con- necticut will induce some additional tsIashing" however, and 1t is far assumption that this will iniure the t,a,rbtican ticket more than Ii will Davis. There may be some normal renublicans who may vote for La Toilette. and in order to do so VIII at the same time exercise more cau- ,ion ss to the state candidates and tberby are given an opportunity to consider and vote for Democrats Tor 1 state offices. How much ehect ms ! condition will have. of courT, ss' body csa edrn1ise.

 Dawcs's remarks at Augusta are not interpreted as being a whole hearted smash at the klan. He is charged by his opponents with straddiins the issue to q certain ex- tent. What he apparently succeeded in emphasizing was that the klan gained members in the west on platform Of law enforcement. He gave 1t as his opinion that lawless- ness in order 10 enforce law bred lawiessness in return. and from this standpoint the klan as q pernicious institution. He could have said more. but said enough for s starter.

 Exchange Sympathy

Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 26. Two airmen, one British the other Ameri- can, each of whose attempts to fly around the world recently ended in a crash, stood face to face here and smiled over their misfortune. They were Squadron Leader Stuart Mac Laren of Great Britain and Major r. l.. Martin of the United States, The latter had motored up from Bellingham, Washington. to attend the luncheon given in honor of the British flyer.
 "I was awfully sorry to hear about your crashing" said Macl.aren, as he shook Martins hand.
 Well" the latter laughed, the same to you."

 Standing upon the hilltop When the suns red disk appeared Above the dim horizon Where the mists hung. pale and
 weird
 Like tattered somber curtains That slowly swayed in the breeze. Though, at times. they seemed like
 phantom ships, And at times the ghosts Of trees. Nearer the roofs were jumbled, Leaves on a forest floor. Countless and gray they stretched
 away
 To the verge of the misty shore; Like the boles of forest monarchs Rose chimneys here and there, Smoke wreaths lazily drifting From their summits high in air. Serving the shop arenas Fitted for constant endeavor. Leaping to life in moment Reused at the touch of lever; Thousands of pulleys revolving Belts to their surfaces clinging, Thousands or spindles and arbors Whirring and droning and singing. Thousands of trained operators Tending the complex machines, Women and men, old in service, Maidens and youths in their teens Shops are the bones and the sineWs Frames on which cities are built, When they decline and go under Cities will lanquish and wilt. When the great factories prosper Cities will thrive and expand, Each on the other dependent Moving along hand in hand Forces impressive, titanic, Harnessed and shrewdly directed, Forces, as yet, in the making Engines not fully perfected. Great, but still greater to follow. Onward the thought that inspires Delve for the secrets of nature, Forge them to shape in your nres' Put them to manifold uses Not even dreamed of before, Nor is the final word spoken Nature has others in store Life is a constant unfolding Thought the endogenous seed Great possibilities holding When it shall ripen in deed Glancing about me fair city This dawning but typifies thee' Great as thou art in the rising Greater thy future shall be.

 elal hale from which i' isnt sAsFlr eated 10 thls day, siTenglg opposed ths inaeN aiian, But the commission Idea iinsllE won iA lhe stale and was helped lo this victory rather lhaR hlndersd hg the opposition of the rsilread company Citizens thsushl that what the railroad esmPaNy so srdehily faughl must he good thing.
 Whatever fears the railroad had as to the operation Of the commits sien have not been justified, Under the aegis of the body as appeintsd in Connecticut ihe railroad and trolley interests have lost nothing, rather they have gained, as rates have been consistently stabilized" in the inc lsFest of the companies, heme rule Of cities in their relations with the utilities concerns has largely disan- peared, The belief is general that little if any harm can come 10 the transportation mohepolies so long as the commission members are ap- pointed,
 The powers Of the commission are eurtailed in the interest Of the com panies, The law permits the conn paniss 10 make n raise in rates and then argue il before the commission afterwards, The commission in eon- neetieut has no power to prevent a rate increase until there is a hearing --and the hearing may be long de- layed, casale wants an amendment to the law permitting the commission to file an injunction against rate increase until after hearing decides its justification. Connecticut Is nearly unique among states in permitting a ldls lnLlthsf bHlpif H'aiihs ihNfo place with no injunction powers 10 prevent i,, according to casale.
 Nothing has done so much to dis integrate confidence in the function ing of the Connecticut commission as the recent increase in commutation ratea In the view of citizens of all shades Of political opinion, the in- creases were unjust and were finally permitted by the commission upon the assumption that the railroad needed the money. Why 1t needed the money so badly was not stressed; the mere need. shown to exist by railroad attorneys who are experts in the use of statistics and spacious augmentation, was enough for the commission. The same system un- fortunately holds good in other New England states, only last fall the commission in Massachusetts grant, ing communication increases to the New Haven and Boston & Maine because they needed the money at the same time denying increases to the Boston & Albany, which oper- ated by the efficient New York Gen. tral, because it didn't need the money. Communication rates on the B. & A. are the lowest in New Eng land and far lower than on the New Haven.
 In other words. the commissions expect the public financially to re- habilitate the formerly mismanaged companies. It is just as if merchant who mismanaged his business and piled up heavy indebtedness were to make increased charges for his goods and thus expect the public to make up his losses for him: only in the case of a merchant it cannot be done on account of competitive conditions whereas transportation monopoly makes such a method possible.
