poor ADELAiDEl"

SYNOPSIS.-Jasper Heig and
Hasbrouek Rutherford are
searching for a girl who resem-
bles Adelaide Rutherford enough
to serve as her double. For Haig
is manager of the sixty-million-
dollar Gorgam trust-benefit, Gre
ated by old Daniel Gorgam in
his will for the benefit Of his
daughter Adelaide during her
lifetime; Rutherford. the husband
of Adelaide, shares her great
wealth. And-Adelaide Ruther-
ford Is dying. They find the
young womar-Mary Manchester,
a work-weary but still beautiful
young shop girl, thoroughly dis
couraged with life. and arrange
for a meeting with her to present
their proposition. When Haig--
after explaining that Adelaide
and her husband had lived apart
for some years-offered her great
wealth to take Adelaide's place,
he found her in a receptive mood

| companionship was available had a
considerable influence upon Adelaide
Rutherford's final decision to call
again for the attendance of her very
famous physician. There had been a
change on his part the last few weeks
He had attended her less frequently of
late, owing to the apparently greatly
improved health of his patient. And
in a way this might perhaps be consid-
cred lapse of professional judgment
on his part. After alias any cele-
brated practitioner among women
knows-a doctor Is a human being,
often very sociable one; and cases
are not entirely unknown to the medl-
cal profession where women, not so
much desperately i'll as lonely and de-
spondent, have been brought long dis
lance on the way to health and happi-
ness by the mere opportunity to talk
and to display new gowns and hats for
the approval and criticism of a skilled
physician. This is, though not men,
toned in medical treatises, condition
quite well known to fashionable doc
tors practicing among women Of
wealth and unlimited power of dress
ing, but unable TO go out to places
where gowns may be properly shown.
1t is not to be stated definitely that
the rather sudden attack of illness
which came to Mrs Rutherford-un-
fortunately just at the time that the
celebrated physician himself was Ill
was due entirely to this cause. Yet |
certainly she was very lonely, and GER
tainly no call from so great house

WATCH OUT. METS!

Now there is really danger from the 1 New York state Auti-saloon league
 danger for the people who are op-
 posed 10 the league in all its works. After one Anderson began to feel his oats. as horscmcn used to say in the days when there were horses. and after he had convinced himself that he was the "one and only" the New York
 Anti-sslOon League began 10 lose it's power. Every bleaf from the pugna- cious Anderson was a blow at the pro- hlbition movement among people who were honestly trying to see light through the distressing haze Of the volstead law. Every time Anderson, in his rapuIsive wrath, pounded tho table and called someone a wicked
 name. the prohibition glassware tot tered and threatened tO fall 10 the
 ioor-which would have been terri bIe. When Anderson fought SO hard against allowing the league to tell where it got it's money and where that
 money went. before being compelled
 to talk a bit about his own very com
 fortabIe income. there began to form
 a screen of questionable character about the league. One prominent man
 withdrew his support-vhich was the
 backbone Of the league financially and others looked sskance at the main
New Britain herald., 1924-02-22

guy who insisted always that he was the, main guy. Things looked bad for the league. Then came Anderson's 1 trial and conviction, and the most hearty sighs of relief came from many members of the league. Anderson re- signed and the directors began to look 1 about for his successor.
 ! Well, they have found one, and if the stories are true about this new head of the New York State Anti Saloon League, its activities will be marked by moderation that will actually be most distressing to the vets"
 For, just think of it, it is said that the new superintendent, Arthur ]. Davis. of Boston--and that doesn't look so good--lilies cigars. Now smok- recommendations for the leader of an anti-saloon league, but it indicates that the gentleman is not in the habit of standing up, his hand on his heart and reciting the sweet little verse about lips that touch tobacco shall never touch mine" But that is not all--not all by any means. It is said, too-and this is hardly credible. that Ar, Davis is very fond of golf Just think of it, golf!
 Of course there are only eighteen holes to a regular golf course laid out in. the open air with buDkers, fair ways and greens and all the rest, But in olden days, there was nineteenth hole. Mr. Davis must have been golfer in those olden days. Can it be that he has never played that nine teenth hole laid out in a cosy corner of the club house. with a table, chairs and enticing. tempting beverages re- posing on that. table? Who, a true devotee of golf in the days before prohibition, has not suecumbed to the fascination Of that nineteenth hole Of whom has it not made a good fellow?" And thus is seen the danger to the "wets"--a man who, even though now obeying the law and realizing that the 18th hole is gone. nevertheless is good fellow, moder- ate. sensible.
 We know nothing about MT Davis. Perhaps he never played that nine teenth hole-far be it from us to ac- cuse him of it. But one may submit that a real human being, fond of cigars and golf. even though he knows nothing of the old nineteenth hole, would prove more dangerous to the vets than would one who claims to be the personification of pugnacious ectitude-except in the matter of keeping accounts.

There is no desire on the part of the people to make the Connecticut .companS operate its cars at loss. But it is to be remembered that the people have granted this company this special privilege and the spirit of that deci- sion of the court should be remember ed The burden of proof is upon the as the beneficiary of the people. to show that the complaints against the increased fares are un- founded and that such increase is nec- cssary. The public utilities commission will remember the relationship of donor and donee of this privilege, and will realize, it is hoped, that it, the is all that stands between the people and exploitation by any public service corporation.

IDEALS IN PUBLIC OFFICE

These days, when the things people say are getting them into all sorts Of trouble, if is indeed an honor to New Britain to have Governor Tenn ploton speak extemporaneously in this city. This is so especially because he
 has recently felt 1t necessary Co handi-
 cap himself with a prepared man
 uscript when making addresses--and it has been handicap.
 Governor Templeton gave a man to-man talk on idealism in public
 office. at the Knights of Columbus
 banquet the other night, and reiterat-
 cd his recently emphasized statement that he would not again run for office.
 Aside from the things he said, which
 were well worth listening to, there is an aspect of the Governors ap-
 pearance here that intrigues. The subject of his address absolutely fas- cinates. "1dealism in public oaice." That Is the matter that tends to make one pause in noting this event and to carry the thought bit farther than it was possible to do in a speech, and farther than it is possible to do ip n comment upon fl. The paths Of thought leading from the mere an- nouncement Of the subject are so many that the end of none may bel reached.
 "Idoalsm in public office" There was once such thing. we arc quite sure. There were men who, possessed ideals and lived up to them and con vineed their contemporaries that they were bearing in mind constantly those high ideals. Perhaps there are such men now. Possibly--and there is nothing to show that the contrary is trus--Governor Templeton has thel highest ideals and they aro with him in his every act. This is said in alll sincerity
 But in what quarter may we look to find them so exemplihed that we have the courage to declare that here, in this man. this governor or this president, even, we see evidence that his actions are prompted by nothing but the highest ideals made practical and ot practical advantage to the world2
 There is today splendid weapon, ready to the hand Of the man strong enough to show. by every act Of his life. that it fits that hand Of his by right That weapon would carry him into the leadership !. not only Of his state, this country, but the leadership of the world at time when the world is crying for peace ] under the command of d mau 10 whom ! high ideals. made thc practical mo- ! tive power Of his actions. appear as ! tho soncc Of all power. Possession of l them is not enough. There must be with the possession Of those ideals, | strength and ability to convince peo- pie that practical idealism is the mans creed. If ever the stage was set for ! such a man, 1t is so set today.

THE DANGEROUS TIME

From now on until the zoning
 ordinance is adopted will be the dan gerous time for property owners in
 this city, just as the years from now
 on would be the years during which harm would come to the city if New
 Britain is not properly zoned. The expert who spoke here, in the inter csts of zoning convinced his hearers that the years in which n city grows from GN,b00 to 100000 are the years which will stamp the physical appear ance of the city for the future. New Britain has grown from the 60,000 to 70,000 in the last four years. And already people are beginning 10 see how the recent developments fin var ious parts of the city may be injured by the erection of buildings which would be out of place in their propos- ed locations.
 Much may be said to justify a man who has had the foresight to see that property in certain sections would some day be valuable, and who has waited until the time came which he foresaw, to complete his plans made years ago. perhaps, before others, less keen than he, saw the possibilities which he saw then. His purchase Of property in that section may have been made.with the distinct plan to do, in the year 1924. the things that are objected to now that 1924 has come. Ii seems unjust to penalize a loyal man of New Britain for having foresight
 And yet there is New Britain to be considered. and there are to be con- sidercd the people who made the de- velopment Of is outlying district pos sibic. Many oAthem purchased and built upon land in those districts re- lying upon the statements Of others, unauthorized. that the district would remain as it was when they bought and built
 But now that the zoning idea has taken such a hold on the people who sec it's advantages, and now that there is every prospect tlat zoning ordi- nance will be adopted. some land own CTS, quite naturally. will seek to put up buildings which might be outlawed under zoning ordinance. and put them up before such grohibitive ordi- nance becomes effective. < hardship must result for someone. Either the individual who seeks profit which nc considers proper and his as a matter of right, must suffer because his neighbors do not want near them the sort Of building be cOntemplates erect ing. or else the individsals of the whole neighb0rhood who invested in homes in that locality. believing 1t would retain it's residential character must suffer. and. through them, the city will suffer. II is one more case where the principle ''the greatest good 10 the greatest numbers must prevail. Now that the cOncensus Of opinion is that New Britain must be zoncd to insure proper development, nothing should be allowed to be done that viii be contrary to the spirit which will predominats all other con- alterations when the zoning plan. is adopted.

WAsHINGToN'S BIRTHDAY

Lincoln, then Washington, Into the hesmirched haze that hangs over the capitol of this country where oul statesmen gather and, in many eases wither, have come two days bringing forward titally the deeds and the eX- amples of loyalty and patriotism of two of the men of the world who made indelible imprints upon it's history. The anniversary of the birth of Abra- ham Lincoln has passed. but into the recollection Of it. while it is still fresh in our minds, now comes another re- hinder that this land of ours was started on it's path 10 power hy the hand of George Washington, the ar- niversary Of whose birth We celebrate today
 Modern writers, alive to the trend of the times, seek to couch their words concerning him in modern terms, avoiding the serious sentences. the written characterizations that may be termed "old-fashioned" by the cynical whose day is now. They. these modernists, fear to repeat the old phrases we are accustomed to near of him. The father of his country is worn to shreds, they declare. The sentence means nothing. Paint George Washington as he was, with all his faults. Stop making Of him a nations hero and bring him down to the levei Of those we know today. comparing him to them and spcculqtiug as to what he would do under modern con- ditions Let it be remembered. they insist that he was criticized even as onr public men are criticized today and that perhaps he was just as guilty as are they of indiscretions thought lessncss, arrogance.
 Let these moderniSts have their way. Let them paint George Wash ington in the drab colors their con- fcssedly brilliant skill al pbrasingAn- spires them to do. We prefer to think. today, Of the George Washington who has been 10 us, "the father Of his country" ever since we began to realize what the paternal relationship meant. We prefer to make the most Of the ideal his name stands for the human failings erased before tho wis dom Of times power. leaving only tst sterling heart that made the man what he Was--thc man to stand at the head Of our country when leadership. strength and confidence We're the ouly qualities which could give to the cole onies that firm foundation upon which might be built the great nation that gias trisen.
 For this day let m5larn eynicisn. modern tendency to brush aside the softening influence of ttEis ---ict these things be forgotten And let the oh- servance Of the anniversary or George Washington, our first president. l,e surrounded with aH atmosphere Of old time reverence fer the man.
