Editor The Patriot:
 Dear Sir.-Your editorial. And Now Another Scandal" published in May '. 1926, issue of The Patriot should meet with universal approval. If any of the lawyers having business in the Court of Probate. Putnam, Conn. knew that proper court records had not been kept, as provided by law, and had greater consideration for the offender than for their own clients and those likely to be obliged to do business with that Court, they will find it hard to give a satisfactory ex- planation for failing to take action.
 Is it the old story of negleeting to make known the shortcomings of a public official, through fear of offend ing others? Win the present States Attorney receive from the people of Putnam the support justly due him for proving himself a courageous pub lie official?
 l wonder what will happen next.

Letters to the Editor
GLORY, NOT BEAUTY

Putnam, May 8. 1926. To the Editor of The Patriot
 Dear Sir:-f can give you better proof of having read,-and also en- joyed very much,-your recent arti- cles on foreign travel. However, l cannot resist the temptation to call your attention to the fact that when the late lamented Edgar Allen Poe wrote his immortal lines. he penned:
 "The glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome," The temp tation to quote the American bard as having written, "The beauty that was Rome" can well understand in the face of such beauty as you have writ ten of.
 Sincerely and apologetieally,
 FELLOW EDITOR.
 Editors Note:-After three. fl not four, gentle reminders of classical or geographical inaccuracy in the course of the articles mentioned, the Editor Is humbled and bowed. but Rratiiied that such corrections have indicated an interest in his efforts.

TURKEY ADOPTS JAZZ

BIZ United Press
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10
Jazz. or. in the words of a special
Turkish musical commission, "mu-
slcal decadence," has penetrated to
the deepest interior Of Turkey. But
Turkey does not regret 1t.
On the contrary, Turkey officially
welcomes the coming of jazz.
The commission was sent through
out Turkey with a photograph, to
make records and studies of the old
Turkish arts for historical purposes.
The idea was to put down the old
compositions in a permanent form,
to make ready for the time when
they will be obsolete. They are to
be officially killed.
1t is planned to create a national
conservatory of music in Constant
nople, at which the western mys
teries of polyphony, counterpart
harmony and other musical develop
ments are to be taught. Turkish
composers will be encouraged to
make use of all the western musical
tricks and lodges. retaining only the
basic characteristics of the ancient
Turkish music.
This means that the saxophone
will replace the old monster guitar,
as tall as a man, which was one OF
Turkeys priced instruments of the
past. The baby violins and the
zithers, around which much old
Turkish music was written, are also
to go and in their place will come
the drum and traps, the slide from
bone and the muted violin. Musical
Turkey, like sartorial Turkey, is to
be "westernized."

On the northeast sector of the
Circle is the beautiful tenstory
Columbia Club. On each side Of the
snappy doorman are huge ever

are two Indifferent business men, a
young attorney, and several women
who have been attending a tea.
Adjoining the club is Christ

wedding and church service. Opened
seventy years ago, the little house

and large flag furling in the wind.
The chimes, played by C. Warren
Williams, an artist, are heard daily
at noontime. Since their installation
in 1860, the chimes have been an
important part of the Christ Church
atmosphere which attracts thou

are played as a memorial, or tribute
to prominent dead.
Persons of all denominations enter
its doors between 10 a. m. and p.

The north intersection is Meridian
St., main north side artery traffic.
On the northwest sector of the
Circle is the historic English Hotel
Bldg, erected in the sos. The
novel four story structure houses
the English Opera House, in which
opera is seldom heard. Pictures are
being shown during the recess for
legitimate drama.
On the corner is a tailoring estab-

The LIQUOR TRAFFIC WITHOUT DECENCY

II there had been iA-the liquor traffic any sense
of deeeney, any respect for American ideals, any
regard for law any capacity for se1f-reform, it
would have shown itself under the admonton and
warning which with the growth of public indigna-
ton became steadily louder and more explicit But
il went to judgment heedlessand unashamed.
Now that Senator Reed IS broadcasting the mil
lions spent by decent law-abidng American citi-
during the long fight against this enemy OF
every ideal for which flag stands, we wish
there way of getting the totals spent by
the traffic in the debauching of American politics
and American institutions.
1t is infinitely to the credit OF America that the
liquor traffic did not win in this combat Prohibi-
ton came result of the warfare which the traf
hc provoked, and because the traffic itself would
allow of no compromise. Now the traffic and its
friends howl about tyranny, and denounce the
forces which the victory for decent Amer
canism-won it by legitimate constitutional means
if these forces the enemies of the
public?
And driven into a the outlawed business
remains the same corrupt defiant murderous thing
it ever was.
