\ DIIEGATION.sT.LiRGE

Today comes tho rather surprising statement from former Attorney Gen cral Daughcrty that he will not with draw as a candidate for delegatc-at- large from Ohio, and will be among the active workers for President Coolidge in the lattor's effort 10 gain the republican nomlnation-whirh, incidentally, will not need a great effort unless the unforeseen happens unless some more events like having delegates similar to Mir. Daugherty in- jure him too much with the rest Of the country.
 It would be comfortable feeling 10 have, 10 be convinced that there is in the White House strong, quiet man who will make mp his mind for himsclf will act promptly in an cmcr- gency, but without undue and danger ous haste, but, wiihall, in plenty of time. 1t would be good 10 fccl that the "Ncw England conscience" kept on working even after the rcputcd posscssor of it had been placed in a position where there is sometimes some "cxpedioncy' in being q bit deaf io the insidcnt comman Of such conscience.
 That was the way great many people felt when Calvin Coolidge be- came prcsidcnt-that is Inc way great many people stili h'l and ereatsmany more want to feel. Those who do not make par,isanslip their god have been eager 10 see this New England gentleman come up 10 inc standarda of strength. nrInn"ss and courage which they like 10 frcl repre- senis thc man Uf New England. liut it is difficult 10 arouse any enthusiasm about this tision now.

Washington. March 31.-The grand jury considering the contempt case of Harry r.

IOI.D GIFTS TANGLED

In an interview published recently in Golfers Henry Ford tells how splendid for the man Of moderate means is th" Mellon plan for tax re- | duction. After having asserted that placing heavy tax burdens on the rich really harms the poor or moderately wonder if the supper, O. the Mellon plan by the banks is sincere. Ii is all in way rather funny. The radicals support fl high tax program, which would throw industry into the hands Of the banks, while the banks sup port program which would keep industry in the hands Of the owners and operated for the benefit of the people"
 Here Hcnry's interviewer leaves the matter and changes the subject. nor can one blame him since it is an "authorlzcd interview" and, of course, Henry would not care to dwell too much on the unconvincing conclusion reached from his premises.
 For he has said that high tax pro- gram would throw industry into the hands Of the banks. He indicates that it is good for the banks and bad for us 10 have industry thus thrown into their hands. He has therefore, to cX- plain why the banks can support a program which would be bad for them because it would not throw in- dustrv into their hands. The only way Henry can get out of this tanglc is 10 more than insinuato that the support by the banks is insincerc.
 We do not believe this of our banks We do not believe that they would be insnccre. They are sincere in their support just as all money interests arc sincere in their support of tke Mellon plan. Tho banks support That plan, just as they should advocate if, be- cause they believe it will benefit them and those interested in them whose financial investment in banks it is their duty to protect---thc men iinan- cially interested in the profits of the banks.
 No. Henry, the support Of the Mel lon plan by fnancicrs and banks is absolutely sincere. All mon and organizations who and which have large incomes approve thoroughly of tho Mellon plan--do not charge them with insineerity.
 Tho man Of moderate means? Well, there are not so many of such mon who understanding it thoroughly, are supporting it in view of the compro- mise bin already passed by the house and in view Of other suggestions which have been made for l,ssenins the tax Of the man who is not the posscssor of great income, and who is not q banker.

NEW BRITAIN REAL ESTATE

Many people living near Niagara falls. People who have spent practi- eaily all their lives in New England have neglected to take the slightest interest in historically famous places and structures in this locality. Then comes ''the prophet is not without honor save in his own country" and Familiarity breeds contempt" etc.
 All these things mean but one--a failure to appreciate fully what we have. Often we ourselves are the last ones to see the chances right at hand We look far over the hills and wish we were out there somewhere where there is a bigger field-where we will be appreciated and where we will find something 10 appreciate.
 A few people become tremendous successes by studying the things they know about because they are familiar things. Writers have become great just because they wrote of the nome town folks" whom they knew and whose characteristics were familiar 70 them. An inventor struggling with some instrument of his own. and finding it inadequate. discovers how he could improve upon it--and pat ents tho invention with great financial returns to him.
 All these more or less pertinent thoughts arc inspired by the news of Saturday that certain property in this city which was bought for S60,0 900 two years ago was just bought by other parties for s9o,00o-a profit of bo percent 10 tho vendors. Yet we look beyond New Britain for invest ment, Many familiar with real estate deals in tho past tell of even greater increases in value of New Britain real estate. And yet people look beyond New Britain for places 10 invest their money.
 The Herald has advocated building here; it has emphasized frequently the splendid prospect of the city. Conn- dently 1t rcitcratcs these sentiments. The "oldest inhabltant' tells how he has seen Stanley street grow. Another tells Of development in other parts of the city. And yet we sit still and marvel at the profits made on invest ment in real estate in New Britain.
 New Britain has its share of op- timists, but even among them, with the limitations imposed by character istics conservatism, there are few who can see tho day when the great city of Hartford, for instance, will be like . suburb of New Britain. Yet that day is quite likely 10 come before the children of our city of whom we are thinking a great deal just now, have svach their full maturity.

Doheny Tells
 Story of Life
Job in a Saw Mill First Work for
 Man Now Worth Millions

This is the first chapter of How E. l.. Doheny, millionaire and leading figure in the senate oil Investigation
 To be Doheny is to be used to trouble.
 Ii has been that Way for genera lions. My grandfather, Michael De- heny, was embroiled in the Irish Rev. olution of '5S. My father. Patrick Doheny, became a political refugee.
 And now find myself facing trou- ble Of another kind. But I shall get out of it just as honorably as Jtl they.
 My dad was only 16 when he was forced to flee. He went to Canada and became seal fisher in Baffin's Fay. It was arduous work, but my father stuck to if for 10 years.
 After his marriage to a St. Johns school teacher, he went to Wisconsin.
 He lost an eye, suffered other in juries. and had to settle down to peaceful gardening.
 was born in 1856 at Fond du Lac. a saw-mill town in those days There were seven children in the family, but there is only one left now.
 When l heard that my brother, a year and half my senior. was to go to school, I wanted to go, too. At first there was some objections, but then my father said l could learn 10 talk there-if nothing elsc-and, at u ta I T at home.
 So they lot me go, although I was only three years and four months old.
 'Ied Squirrel" the teacher called me. for l was a little shaver with sorrel top, and kept hopping around most of the time.
 The teachers said l was poetically inclined, had good memory, was good at mathematics. but poor at chemistry-although a knowledge of the last became of the greatest i'm portance in my later work.
 After school hours I always found something to do. My dad saw to that.
 l got job in a saw mill during the summer vacation when was IS. My special work was running a knot saw, for which service I got 65 cents 2 day--and scar on my right hand. only bit of luck prevented me from losing several fingers.
 surely was proud Of my injury. If put me in the class with the other boys of the town who had been hurt Tn their work--and there were many Of them.
 1ha next summer ono of the first sugar beet factories in America was opened at Fond du Lac. got iob in the fields. The man in charge was Ike a real oSerseer. for he drove us boys like so many slaves. Down the long rows of bects we went, 90 or so in a line, working our hoes weeding. We had to work quickly: or else the lads behind would close in and prod us with their hoes
 For all this each of us received 80 cents day.
 Bnt life was too pleasant 10 lei a hard-driring orerseer spoil it. We were all vertible Huck I'inns--swim. ming. fishing, getting into mischief. When we had fence to paint we m. 'Hriably connived to make the other fellow do it.
 Hardly a month went by during the months without some boy drowning. Tho water was dccp, and he floating logs made it trcachcrous. But that made the sport more allur. ing.
 Louis Pelletier was my side kick in those days. don't know what hap pened to him later, for soon came n parting of the ways.
 l had a dream Of going west.

THE PEACE REFERENDUM

Tho New York Times yesterday. after citing the fact that out Of some thing over half million persons vol ing on the peace plan referendum n great majority favored the adoption of the plan, does not take this refer nrdum as an absolute indication Of the feeling of majority of all tho voters in the country in favor of the League of Nations. l. believes, how ever. that it indicates strong basic popular sentiment in favor of some form Of cooperation. They may also rathy with the first proposed prac- ticable step in the pan." the Times declares, namely the adherence Of the United States to the Permanent Court of International Justice"
 But the true significance Of the whole situation is described by that newspaper thus:
 liut whatever inferenros may
 lon drawn from theso significant
 statistics, the mere fact that more
 han ton thousand persons have
 been encouraged 10 work out and
 formulate some plan for intcrna-
 tional cooperation in promoting
 peace, that hundreds of thousands
 have studied and discussed the
 winning plan. and that millions
 have had their attention brought
 more seriously 10 ihc matter Of
 our relations with tho rest Of tho
 world. has made this adventure
 not only of dramatic interest but
 Of great educational value.
 The Herald has stated in these rol- umns that whatever plan Is now pre- scntcd. adopted or defeated. if any thcrn bc, such plan will he but the forcrunncr Of a later ylan which will come as n result Of greater in- tcrcst in and study Of international re- lations, and a greater appreciation Of Inc full value of peace, the worse than uselcssness Of war. This news paper has advocated carrying such in- struction into the schools SO that young people may grow up pre- pared 10 support the wise movements which will be carried on always until the day comes when peace will prevail because peace is inc only possible way out of world troubles, economic and social. If ever the people of the world reach the highest piano Of in- tclligence humanly possible Of attain. mont, the only thought Of war will bc Of something that was rcsorted 10 in the dead past when ignorance and passion prevailed.

SECURES INCREASED PRICES

Eve are pleased t report very sat
isfactory market conditions and
progress during the entire month of
May" reads a recent statement of
the Minnesota Cooperative Dreamer
les Association. After the severe
slump of April 18th, the butter mar
ket steadied itself and the healthy,
satisfactory market which prevailed
during May will probably continue
during June.
The May market opened at 81
cents and closed at 40 cents, result
ing in an average price of 1877 cents
for the month.
In order to stabilize the New York
butter market the Association pur-
posely diverted as many cars as pos
sible from that market during the
month of May. Only Z cars were
shipped to New York, while 81 cars
were shipped to new markets. The
Association followed this policy be-
cause it realized that the average
creamery man would continue to ship
