A CRANE BIOGRAPHY

The memory of W. Murray Crane grows larger as the result Of the issuance of the biography of tho Massachusetts statesman, written by Solomon Bulkley Griffin. former managing editor of the Springfield Republican. w. Murray Cranes bat tic for American entry into the Lea que of Nations. and his defeat by Senator Lodge at the Republican convention Of 1920. indicated that he did not permit low politics to becloud his view; he refused to descend to the point where a na- tion's moral responsibility was made the football of party politics.
 It will be remembered that Mir. Crane at first won q victory in Mas sachusetts over Senator Lodge when the latter brought his non participating program from Wash ington for indorsement by the state Republican convention. A midnight ultlmatum forced the party platform to be drawn accord- ing to the Crane model. and the traditional forward-looking spirit of Massachusetts was retained.
 But the Republican national con- yention of 1920 was dominated by politicians of another color, MT. Crane was influential in it regarding everything but the League of Ma tions issue. The lineup in the plat form committee became hard boiled in its opposition 10 Crane in this ! convention. Senator Borah threaten ed 10 carry the issue 10 the floor of | the convention, and Senator Brande- gee threatened to resign from the Senate if their anti-Leaguo views were rejected.
 Had Mr. Crane not resigned from the Senate previously his views re- garding the League of Nations might have been at least partly vic- torious at the Republican national conventions; but no longer being q senator, he was regarded as an "outsider," and the august senators running the convention were disin- clined to take the advice of former senator.

 How deep snow must get before all motors are put entirely hors de combat is scarcely known; in this part of New England we have scarcely had deep enough snows since the era Of the universal private cars arrived to be in po- sItion 10 judge. we imagine when snow gets as high as the body of car there may be some difficulty; at least as much difficulty as the street cars experience when snow is half that deep.

BOB SEEDS pASSE

Times have changed; New Eng land still gets its blanket of snow occasionally but there is something lacking. There are no more bob sleds, with musical bells tinkling as the horses pull them over the streets and highways. There is not the sound of merry voices as bob sled parties went past the door in the evening hours. The bob sled has gone the way of the dinosaur and the mammoth. lis memory re- mains, but that is all.
 The fault -- if it be fault-lies with the automobile. A bob sled, even when pulled by the speediest horse in the county, is not as fast as the family tliyvcrs. And nowa-I days it is speed that counts. The roads are cleared of snow 10 certain extent and tho automobiles have no great trouble in making fairly fast time even in winter The cleaned roads, however, are no great advantage to the bob slods, as there are spots, when the snow is not very deep, when the runners touch the hard surface Of the highways. But inc main .rca- son for their disappearance lies in the fact that the automobile has become an al!-yoar conveyance.
 The comaraderio and high | inks generally that characterized | bob sled parties in inc olden days are things for which tho automo- 1 bile provides no substitute. \ mo- torms could do ii, but who thinks of hiring a hns 10 take winter ride with q party 10 some friend farmer in the country and there | having glorious time such as a past generation enjoyed. Nowadays such trips if at all are taken in motors with at best few couples 1 in each machine; and th" covers arc down 10 keep out the cold l cr-sh air and the entire spirit ol i tho cll bob sled parties is lacking Tho bob sI,adors had TO curtains worthy the name and they sat in tho open air. keeping themselves warm Iy sjn~lnC nud joking Thts diI moi mind 'n" cold; perhaps they v.re roar.l not to mind il 90 mUrh

THE FOUNDRY COLLAPSE
 AND ITS VICTIMS

THE FOUNDRY COLLAPSE
 AND ITS VICTIMS
 We are in danger every day; whether we leave our homes 10 ap- ply our talents, skill or brawn upon the multitude Of tasks that must be performed 10 maintain the social welfare, or whether we re- main indoors to keep the home fires burning, there is danger. No one knows what a new day will bring forth. Toward It's end we may be Of the multitude reading about a ar-distant tragedy and thanking our stars that we were not among the list of those who paid the supreme sacrifice upon the fields of peace. Or we may be among those mourned by relatives and friends, victims of an inscruta- ble fate that dispenses blessings and tragedy with almost equal regularity.
 Today the city of New Britain in sense is in mourning; the hearts of it's citizens are heavy with sor- row as they contemplate the trag- edy visited in the homes of the North and Judd foundry accident. The sympathy of the city goes out 10 those they leave, to the fearful wives and the scarcely -compre- hending children.
 The victims of this catastrophe were working citizens who gave of their toll primarily to maintain themselves and their families, but at the same time they were part Of the foundation upon which the fame of the hardware city rests. Some of the dead and maimed had come to this country 10 share in it's superior opportunities, it's economic freedom, it's liberty and its prosperity. Very many of them are employed in this city and they form the bulWurk of its in- dustrial strength.
 Human beings are the same wherever they abide; be they rich or poor they suffer the same bangs, the same heartburnings in the wake of tragedy. The men whose torn bodies were found be- meath the foundry wreckage were not of q rpco set apart; although they daily were grimed with tho dust and dirt of honest toil, be- meath their coats beat hearts true to the highest instincts of hu- manity. Good family mon most of them were, with loving wives and brools Of yonng Americans grow ing up around the family hcarthH. And yet, through no fault Of their own came a blow by fate that dealt grim despair and horror into more happy families than ever cc- cured in the history of the city,
 Had the catastrophe occurred about cO minutes later the list of dcad and injured would have been slight in comparison as the men would have been out of the nuild- ing vhtlc at lunch, But in such q ease there probably woull hllo been heavy fatalities among those on inc sidewalk alongside, incIud- ing school-childrou; and this would ha>o been more lih'ly in view Of 'hc fact that tho snow drifts on inc foundry side rf the street had h"on cDoarrd away whHc upon n" opposite side tho snow was s'in hcapcI high. Thc potcntialrjcs for diustcr would hay" remained had the collapse been laJI.
 It is d humanitarian duty 10 sec  'bat relief work among tho tami- lies of victims is carried out promptly. This win accrue 10 the city or to organizations maintained ry citizens. Let the duty of allevi- a,iug suffering and lifting want be accelerated, It is tho least that can be done.
