QUIGLEy AND BINGHAM

To he regarded as the leader of the anti-machine forces in New Britain and he mot opposed" to the nomlna- ton Of Lieut.. Gov. Hiram Bingham must be a new role for former Mayor George A, ouigley
 II is a role that is difficult to un- derstand considering that Hiram Bingham is regarded as the machine candidate for the goyernorshlp.
 The lieutenant governor may be an ideal candidate; he may make a good governor from the standpoint of the organization which backs him. But he bears the rubber stamp of the ma chine and is willing to have It's inn primatur as method to attain the goal of his ambitions.
 One can admire Bingham and yet not support the machine that seeks to make him the next governor.
 Mir. Quigley is privileged to per sonally admire" Bingham all he wishes; but he no longer functions as the anti-machine leader in New Brit ain when he supports the machine candidate.

DEBT CANCELLATION

Rumors are heard in banking circles that the next major move upon the international chessboard will be an attempt to have America cancel the greater part or all of the war debt ow- ing from allied nations. The debts are of such huge proportions that some bankers say that most of the money will never be repaid to Uncle sam and that it is just as well to come 10 cancellation understanding now as later.
 America should by no means re- linquish her financial club over European debtors without enforcing agreements as to future international conduct. According to Washington observers, this can best be achieved by securing agreements for the promotion of limitation of expenditures TOT ornaments, thus using the war debts as lever to bring continuation of peace among ClNlllZcu nd'ioh9' Coolidge and Davis thing along similar lines in this connection, and it is taken for granted that new agreements VIII be attempted after the national elec- tions are over.
 Cancellation of war debts is un- popular among all classes in this country. particularly in view of the fact that war debts of foreign nations 10 private fnanciers have been and are being paid. The government sums owing from foreign nations were raised through popular subscriptions 10 bond issues and it goes distinctly against the grain of the public gener- ally to make these wholesale gifts to Europe unconditionslly. 4 l-r7e body

HALLS POPULARITY

Edward F. Hall of New Britain, who has filed petition for nomination as state senator, where he already had served with credit to himself and the city, is regarded as one of the most popular men in New Britain. Indeed, his friends profess to believe that if he were to run for mayor This nomin- aton would be equivalent to election"
 His reputation. integrity and per sonality, of course, is at the basis of his popularity. There is a studious nature and careful scrutiny of public questions that has marked his public career: he without doubt has been one of the best-informed legislators in the state house and in the city govern ment.
 Mr. Hall does not circulate in the political skies as dispenser of re- flected light from the party he hap pens to be identified with. The Re- publican party is fortunate in having him in it's ranks. He could get just as far as a Democrat or as an 1nde- pendent. When citizens mention his name they do not think of the party label.

S. GERALD CASALE

When s. Gerald Casale, believed to be seeking the Democratic nomination for the state senate, begins to talk on his probable platform he becomes an interesting aspirant by dint of what he advocates
 He wants the frequenting law modi- fed or repealed and believes this major plank on which to attain suc- cess as a campaigner. This will appeal to many voters, yet the vast majority, no matter what their attitude or ac- tions in this connection, never are in immediate danger of being enmeshed with this law.
 To our notion his plank for a public utilities commission elected by the people is much more provocative of widespread interest in the state. The commission, supposed to function for the benefit of the people. would do so with more appreciable results were it's members elected, in the estimation of many observers. At present appoint ment to the commission is believed by many to be too much a function of state politics.
 Casale evidently believes the com- mission would get closer to the people and their interests 'vere it's members elected. There are those who may think the body would get altogether too close to the people to insure partiality Which view is correct is worthy of argument. It may be pointed out as an analogy that elected judges are not as rule more im- partial than appointed judges: in fact, there frequently is more com plaint regarding the latter than the former.

THE MANAGER sI'EAks

(, I4 RaFde, general manager of lhe New Hasea Fallread, told ihe ReiaH club in Meriden that the railroad had attained increased efficiency that hs
 financial condition was improved and that there was a wholesome freedom from major accidents, such as enee was habit on the railroad,
 Which information Aas lhahksaliF received by his hearers AS has been frequently pointed cut m these eei' umRs, southern New England Is so bound nn with the prosperity Of the New Haven railroad that whatever with it's prosperity indirectly lniures the prosperity of this section Of the New England states, eonheellH cut has a right ta demand and receive the hest service that a railroad of inc importance of the New Haven can give, and nothing but constant im' pr0yemenls will satisfy.
 So far as New Britain is concerned conditions of service are moi what ihe city deems il has a right to eSneel' Al the same time it is readily admitted that the situation here is difficult for the railroad on account Of the fact that the city proper is on the Water bury branch line while the service that the city would like 10 enjoy Is mostly on the main line running through Der lin. There really are two lines Of rail- road giving service to the city. Nut the service on both lines should be as good as it would be if the New Haven owned only the branch line and railroad owned what m now the main line: or vice versa IT that were the case there would he no trains stopping at Meriden that dia not stop at Berlin for business from New Britain.

Observations On The Weather

Cor Connecticut: Fair tonight and Friday; little change in temperature; moderate to fresh north, shifting 10 east winds.
 Conditions: The disturbance which passed over this section last night is now off the Massachusetts coast. It caused local showers dur ing the last c4 hours from Minnesota sout heastward to New Mexico; is causing unsettled, showery weather between Illinois and Maine.
 A long trough of low pressure ex- tending from Minnesota southwest ward to New Mexico is causing un- settled showery weather between the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river. The areas of high and low pressure moving rapidly across the country are causing frequent changes in the weather. Temperature about normal in northern sections.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity generally fair weather and not much temperature change.

srrcrI.,TIoN ABolr MARS

some astronomers are iRelined to ihiak that Mars as Me see il through eur telescopes today represents an ancient world that has died out enc which had a development far ia ads vance Of our own and which gradually declined in RreHidlng lifsagitihg forces, finally resulting in vast sspulehFe of death for whatever imr porlant living organisms once may have crowded its surface,
 They point 10 il as possible eN' ample of what may come to lhe earth in tims-several millions of years from now, or sooner.
 ''fhe end Of the world" has been a phrase that has rolled under the tongues of human beings ever since man was developed enough to think about the planet on which he lhrlted' Is it possible that Mars is a nearby example in the solar system Of what may transpire upon our own proud planet9
 The sun. We are told, millions Of years ago was much hotter; ' Is get' ting cooler constantly We don't notice this cooling process, Of course but what to us is like a thousand years Is q mere flash in the cosmogony of creation. As the earth is closer to the sun than Mars. it is evident that tho heat from our iuminRry once was much greater than at present upon tho surface of both planets: and It Is be- Iieved possible that during those days which was before humans roamed the surface of our planet-there might have been approximately the same heat on Mars as exists upon the earth today. In other words. Mars once may have been climatically what the earth Is today.
 At present the surface Of Mars is re- garded by some astronomers as ex- cessively cold, the entire planet being gripped in a temperature below lrcez- ing, causing some astronomers to think that the so-called polar ice caps on Mars, which increase and dwindie according to the seasons, must be formed of condensed gases.
 Astronomers also speculate upon the atmosphere as a basis of past probable life on Mars. Although the atmos- nhere at present is much less than that on the earth it is considered pos sible that a heavier atmosphere once existed: indeed, there are those who harbor the opinion that our own at- mosphere gradually grows less dense and that after the passing of time' which to use us may be like eternity there may be as little atmosphere on the earth as there is today on Mars
 Speculation regarding Mars IS particularly timely because of it's near ness to the earth at present, but as- tronomers announced only yesterday that the best views of Mars will come in October, and not on Saturday or shortly thereafter, as had been eN- pected. Reason for this is that the seasons on Mars and their effect on vegetation will give a better view Tn October, although this would tend to nullify the theory that Mars is perpetu- ally too cold for the growth of vegeta- tion.
 Although Mars is nearby planet speculation as to the details or us structure and life varies astonishlngly.

LA TOILETTE WILL USE THE RADIO
First Speech to Be BroadCaSted on
 Labor Day. To Appear in Person

Washington Aug. 2t. - Leading strategists of the LaFollette- Wheeler organization gathered today to work out itineraries for the two candidates and formulate definite program of activities for their supporters.
 The return last night of Senator Wheeler, running mate of the inde- pendent candidate for president. from his three weeks vacation in Massa- chusetts, enabled Attorney General Eken of Wisconsin, director of the solicitation of campaign funds from the public, and David K. Niles, act ing head of the speakers bureau, to begin a series of conferences with them which will be joined probably Saturday by Representative Nelson, of Wisconsin, the national campaign manager.
 The itineraries of the candidates themselves presented the principal task before the conferees, although number of other problems are to De considered. Arrangements are being made, meanwhile, by campaign head quarters in Chicago to broadcast Labor Day message by Senator La Toilette throughout the country, and MT. Wheeler is expected to speak on Boston Common the same day.
 It is said to be practically settled that MT. LaFollette will wait until the middle of September to make his first personal appearance before an audience and that this address will be delivered in New York city Where each will go after those speeches ana the division of territory between them remain for the conferees to determine, with one of the candidates expected to make at least one address in every section thought to offer favorable opportunity for a showing in the elec- tion.

RAW MUSIC

Modern popular music has run along the lines of so-called jazz, which in- vestigators say Is entirely mode or interpretation and Is not as mean sounding as it was five years ago when the Livery Stable Blues" sent its cacophonous slivers into the raw hesh of shivering listeners
 Modern serious music IS running along decidedly worse lines, The "com positions" of modern writers like stravinsky, Honegger and Cyril Scott for the most part have the effect or a kitten walking over the piano Keys Beauty is the last thing sought or achieved; ugliness seems to be the sine qua non of this decadence of art.
