DEAD LETTER LAWS

Communications to the Herald have emphasized the fact that there Is a city ordinance regulating sun day closing by indicating what can and what cannot be sold on sun day Correspondents have asked rather peluIantly why the law IS not enforced as d short cut to settling the Sunday closing discussion.
 The explanation seems to be that some ordinances are enforced and others are not. Ordinances and laws are frequently passed, are enforced for d time, and then become what is known as dead letters, Connecu- cut has plenty of this sort ol dead wood upon the statute books and the city also has it's share.
 Meanwhile new laws are con- stantly passed. Old laws, which are not enforced. are allowed to remain.
 Yet dead-letter laws always exist as d threat; some time, although temporarily, they may be enforced And then there usually is hulIa- baloo about il.
 Sometimes there also is a hulIa- baloo as to why a law is not en- forced. What the cynical critic can- not understand is why q Ia" IS passed if it is not 10 be one. But the critics do not run the town.
 If an appreciable pubic sentiment , is against enforcement of law nine times out of ten its enforcement iS { rather perfunctory.
 ] It is to the credit Of most mer- chants that they favor regulation ol Sunday business. It is only a smaF minority who create discussion,

NEW JERSEYS BOILING POT

Politics in New Jersey never grow cold, Unlike Connecticut. he state is neither Republican nor Demo- cratic. Whichever side wins in that state. especially during an election not held at the same time presi- dential tiff is in progress, has to hustle for the victory. New Jerseys political spelibinders usually are "orating" all year round
 The governorship nomination this years, following the primaries just ended have created a rather un- usual condition, even for New Jer- sey, It appears that the Republican state organization has been disiked 10 such an extent that Arthur Whit ney. an insurgent state senator was able 10 Urest the nomination from the regular candidate.
 Aside from being the first time in the history of the state system that an ant-organzation candidate de feated the organization the success ful nominee also happens to be dry New Jersey is commonly reputcd to be a very wet state, and L. $. Sen ator Edge has been among the most notable of our bevy of wet senators Senator Edges opposition to Whit ucy didn't seem to injure him, how ever and now there is the prospec' of a rift between the wet and dr! factions Of the Republican party. l is d safe bet that the wet Kepubii cans won't go into ecstasties ove' helping 10 elect Whitney 10 office.
 From thls it can be inferred tha Harry Moore of Jersey City, tn Democratic nominee for Governor is going 10 have an easier time thai he anticipated, but that isn't sayini he will bs elected. This will be let to rh, will Of inc voters.

Civil War the Republican campaigns were chiefly based upon the record of the party in saving the Union. The Democrats, who were strongest fin the South, were denounced for having brought on the war and for supporting moderate reconstruction measures, and much sympathy was expressed by the Republican leaders for the old soldiers who shed their blood for the Union These tactics earned the expression waving the bloody shirt" The phrase probably originated from the not infrequent custom of exposing the blood stained clothing of he victim of murder as means of arousing public ven- geance.

CALLING OUT THE TROOPS

Having expressed their pleasure at thc success of tho surpsaso mobi- li2ation of the National Guard, Gov ornor TrumhulI and Adjutant Gen cral Cole can turn their faces toward Washington and yield hearty chucllc.
 After having declined to take part in the so-callcd muster day on July 4. Connecticut was the first state in the Union 10 hold an actual muster Of available military forces,
 The result was never in doubt. EX- ccpt for those hearty youths who were out au,omobiing with sweet hearts and could not be reached quickly, all other members of the guard made an appearance. The ten per cent or so who were not mobi- lzed would have been on hand had more time been given 10 prepare for the showdown.

 Just a few more line about the Sunday closing. There was lo's writen, but so far nothing has been done in the matter. I think there in he not necessary to wait for the authorities to enforce the laws; Il is up to storemen to act themselves .and my suggestion is, to call a meet ing either by our mayor or by the .rhamber of Commerce, inviting all inc storemen. and let them bring .this matter to the end. My suges- lion is to allow them to keep open from S-10 o'clock in the morning and close for the rest of the day The business on Sunday afternoon do not amount anything. and atter this he enacted everyone of us be thankful because it is for our better for better of our familys, at leest. Once a week we will have day for ourselves. Besides We show the public we are good citizens worth 10 walk the ground of this country.

The only difference in our two cars was that mine had | little longer body. Our wheel bases were the same but the rear end of my car projected two feet further over the axle than did l Seidlitzs.
