BELABORING LAE'OLLETTE

Both Republican and Democratic
 papers are losing no time in turning
 the barrage of their wrath upon the
 LaFollette group of independents and
 the various other groups who have
 signified their intention of backing
 him in his efforts to throw a monkey wrench into the electoral college.
 Party papers, in fact, are devoting
 more space to banning LaFollette than they are devoting to banning each other. Fear that devout mem- bers of the G. 0. r. and the Demo- cratic party may be tempted to switch 10 the support of the redoubt- able warrior from Wisconsin appears uppermost in the minds of ye editors and publishers of party organs. Such efforts to prevent the hoi polloi from slipping from their grasp into the folds of the Great Menace have never before been observed.
 When LaFollette's campaign man. agers announced that small contribu- tions from wage earners would be welcomed for the campaign fund a howl of dismay arose, leaving the im- precision that it was all right for the two major political entities to solicit contributions from the larger fry but it was a mortal sin for the LaFollette party to obtain money from the more numerous small fry. The LaFollette camp had the nerve to ask working men to contri- bute days wages, but nothing is to prevent the major party critics from in the same manner, pro- viding there is a chance to get the which We doubt.
 LaFollette has been thriving upon -idicule for about ten years; the more 'enom is heaped upon his shoulders he more he seems to prosper.
 The trouble with the anti-LaFollette ! Irniy is that it's journalistic sharp- hooters do not appeal to the dissatis- jed factions who are intent upon | ,acking the senator. It is next to lseless to attempt to influence people vho refuse to be influenced by organs n whom they lack confidence. Some f the most widely known party ,apers in the country have been bat ering LaFolette for years and all hey have done to him is 10 increase he sale of his ideas to the voters who hink they want them.

JUDGE ROGERS DECLINES

Judge Henry Wade Rogers of New Haven has decided not to accept the Democratic nomination for governor of Connecticut should 1t be rendered him. thus eliminating from conside- ration man who as governor would have been without question a lumi- nary of magnitude in the political history of the state.
 The recent resignation of Judge Mayer and the illness of another judicial colleague upon the circuit court of appeals is given by Judge Rogers as sufficient reason why he can- not consider such a nomination if proffered at this time.
 The Republican organization of the state will be greatly relieved over Judge Rogers decision. Another can- didate of equal or nearly equal poten- cy may be found, but at this moment he Is not in sight. The god of good fortune still beams smile upon the state c. o. P.

BISHOP HAID DIES
Funeral Probably Will Be Held Next Tuesday-Was Venerable Veteran Of Catholic Church in U. S.

Charlotte, N. C., July 25. - The funeral of the Right Rev. Leo Haid, bishop of North Carolina and dean of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of America. who died last night at Bel mont Abbey, probably will be held next Tuesday. although arrangements for the services were said today to be only tentative.
 Although Bishop Haid had been i'll with gallstones for three years and several weeks ago he was taken seriously ill, the end came rather unexpectedly.
 The venerable bishop, who was 75 years old, born in Latrobe, Pa,,. July IS, 1S49. At the age of 20 he joined the Benedictine Order and three years later was ordained priest. For 13 years he was chaplain and a professor at St. vincent's Abbey, Beatty, Pa, and in 1885 became abbot of Belmont cathedral at Belmont, N. C., remain ing in that capacity until his death.
 Bishop Haid was appointed civar apostolic of North Carolina and titu- lar bishop of Messene in 1910 and on July IS, 1914, was made assistant to the papal throne. In 1920 Pope Plus X conferred upon him the unusual honor of presiding over "abbatinul- lius," or Cathedral Abbey.

IMPROVING THE CENTER

Despite the excellent traffic regula- tons at the center. conditions. for pedestrians are far from ideal, due to the peculiar formation of the plot of land forming the hub of New Britain's business area.
 Pedestrians attempting to cross Main Street on the south side Of Church street find themselves about 100 feet from the traffic officer. As a result regulation of traffic frequent ly does not affect that particular cor ner to a considerable extent and pedestrians are placed in the precar- ious situation Of getting across Main street as best they can.
 Somewhat similar conditions exist at the southern extremity of the cen- ter, where there are no traffic police men. It Is customary for hundreds of shoppers to cross from one side of Main street to the other at this point, and as rule they have an incon- ,enient time while they are at it.
 All of which brings up the query: Are there enough traffic policemen at the center during the peak hours of traffic? Before giving an answer, 1t will be we'll to go on foot and at- tempt to cross Main street at the points indicated. After the attempt has been made it is probable that the innocent pedestrian will decide that more traffic policemen are necessary: at least that one should be stationed at the southern extremity of the cen ter during rush hours.
 The object of traffic policing is not only to prevent automobiles from 1 crashing into each other, but also to aid pedestrians in esca ping with their lives or being subject to fewer hair raising and nerve-rasping experiences, when they cross the highways. From this standpoint it Is clear that the southern point of the center needs attention: and it would also be well if some system could be devised to help pedestrians attempting to cross Main street from the south side of Church street.

CONNECTICUT FARMERS

Several thousand Connecticut farm CTS and their families are expected to attend a. Farmers Week at the Agricultural college in Storrs from July 2s to Aug. 1. It will be the big event of the year for Nutmeg soiI- tillers.
 Close contact of the farmers with the college is expected to rebound to their profit. giving them a chance 10 mix pleasure with the requirement of the most modern ideas in farmng methods as applied to this section of New England, and will enable the states institution to get close to the class of citizens it must most directly serve.
 It is customary to underestimate the farming industry in New England in making comparisons with the big agricultural states of the west. The last available statistics indicate that Connecticut, although d small state, is not nearly last In the production of farm products. These statistics show that the value of all crops in the state in recent year totalled more than s44.4Oo. .O0O, which is more than the total in Arizona. Delaware. Nevada. New Hampshire. New Mexico.

SPANISH IMPERIALISM.

One would have thought that after
 the war with the United states. Spain
 had suffered enough from imper-
 ialism; bvt 1t seems not. True, she
 gave up imperialistic Ideas far from
 home. but across the narrow Mediter-
 ranoan from her southern shore she
 has been dabbling in more imperialism
 at huge cost in men and money and
 no returns.
 In that part of Morocco controlled"
 by Spain the spaniards have had more
 trouble with natives who believe in
 elf-determination than perhaps any
 other modern nation has experienced
 since the great war. Spain has had to
 maintain enormous troops at Ceuta
 and environs. who have been forced
 to wage continual protective warfare
 with the savage tribes of the interior.
 Along the Riff. east of Ceuta, the
 situation has been entirely out of hand and the Spaniards have been beaten to frazzle. It appears that the natives don't want civilization, modern comforts and fivvers, and in- sist on shooting anybody who tries to bunco them with an exchange of the white mans burdens for the freedom thov baye kpoun
 The warfare has cost Spain several hundreds of millions of dollars and lie bleaching in the desert sands.
 The people at home are restive at | the fruitless warfare in land in | which they were but slightly interested in the first place, and the government | is hard put for an excuse to withdraw and save its face. It will have to do | so sooner or later, as the only way to the Riff would be by keeping | enough soldiers there to patrol every | square mile of desert with a company | or two of men-snd even then it be safe for a tourist to play II the sand. The plan. of course would be ridiculous. expensive and im- possible
 The Spanish government is trying o squirm from under by making leal to obtain Gibraltar from the British in an exchange for Ceuta. It s stated that Ceuta is better naval ,ase for submarines than Gibralta, md would be just as valuable to the British, if not more so. The strength # Gibraltar today is largely myth, IS the development of long range guns las made it possible for Spain to over it with shells from the high possession. When it is considered hat the great war developed guns apable of shooting much further than yer before, 1t Is clear that Gibraltar 5 not what it once was. The British i re said to realize the situation, but $ great deal of sentiment is bound z p with their retention of Gibraltar, :,
 swap with Spain is unlikely. The C panish ministry will have to get out rom under in some other way.

New York to do away with all rail-
road and highway crossings at grade,

counties, cities and railroads. The
legislation which would be required
to bring this about is stilf under pub

sentiment in favor of it. It is be.
lieved that the sentiment favorable to
it is growing as grade-crossing acci-
dents become more frequent. The
abolition of grade crossings has be-
come national question and becomes
more pressing as automobile traffic
increases and as population and
wealth grow.

would seem to set at rest reports that
have been lately current that the
fascist government of Italy is con-
fronted with it's gravest crisis and
menaced with displacement, perhaps
by force. 1t does not, however, indi-
cate that Mussolini has an absolutely
clear course. The vote in the cham

1inued administration. Yet there re.
main elements of discord which he
must suppress by cajolery or coercion.
In his own party are two factions, one
1ntransigeant and the other conserva.
tive. The former is demanding a
vigorous campaign against liberalism,
while, oddly, the conservative element
favors a moderate program. 1t is
Mussolinis task now to hold these two
factions together while continuing his
administrative program. His success
heretofore has been remarkable. The
present question is whether he can
