\ SMALLER COUNCIL AND THE PI BIIC

State Senator Hall, in agreeing with Mayor Weld that a smaller Common Council would be advis- able. makes note of the fact that three such attempts have been turn cd down In the past.
 The reason for such an attitude by the Common Council can easily by found. The men in the Council do not want to eliminate a goodiy part of themselves from the com munity picture. Perhaps they may agree that the present Council is unwieldy and not as efficient as a smaller body would be; but the large membership comes in handy for political reasons. and perhaps that Is the only item that is going to appeal to them.
 What the public thinks about the subject is also important; but from the public there is not word. As usual it is quite inarticulate.
 The fact that the City Meeting

More than Thirteen Thousand!"
 Stop a moment, you boys In public schools! Do you realize the sig nifcance of the statement occasion- ally appearing in one of our local papers relating to it's circulation? With all due respect for the pres ent management of the paper we arc constrained to ask in what does this fertility of production find source? In the brain of a boy!
 It was the writer's good fortune to have domiciliary relationship at times with it's founder, we'll known 10 our community as Hon. R. J. Vance. He was then only a boy verging into early manhood, but of certain pronounced characteristics, only one of which I would like to make mention, namely his studious- ness. Wholly dependent upon his own labor he early developed that which was so characteristic of his after life, love for the working man. At that period our public schools were in process of early develop ment embryonic indeed as compared with those of today
 Our public library was in the day of beginnings but good so far as means at hand could make provision. Careful scrutiny of its shelves was one of Mir. Eance's diversions, and the study of all helpful literature of which he could avail himself was his excuse for absentism from the domestic circle. Like his world famed fellow townsmen, the gleam of whose forge fires penetrated far into the hours of night, so the vigils of this young student opened the way to local, state and national honors, coveted by many and the possession of comparatively few. But above and beyond all this are the Thirteen Thousand and more Her alG voicings proclaiming the far seeing wisdom of its founder, He being dead yet speaketh."

THE CHINESE PUZZLE IS SINPIUIED

For several years the Chinese war lords have been providing such mixed-up conglomeration of fighting in China that the more civilized portions of the earth have been quite astounded at the seem ingly unlimited ramifications; and although almost everyone is more than mildly interested In a war. 1t is safe to say that no warfare of recent times has attracted less con- sistent interest elsewhere than the internecine struggle in China. It was common parlance to refer to it as the Chinese puzzle.
 Now the situation is becoming simplifed. We find that the Can tonese, or southern armies, are in vading the northern territory with success, are spreading an enormous total of propaganda with which they are undermining the morale of their adversaries, and are win ming over the people. A unified China under the aegis of the Can tonese is not entirely without the realms of possibility.
 It so happens, however that the Cantonese are the intellectual chil- dren of the -Bolshevists; their armies have been coached by Rus sian officers, Russian ideas have been accepted; to all intents, the Cantonese are a part of the Rus sian state. Should they conquer China it would mean that Mos cows influence has attained emil hence within a large part of con- tinental Asia.
 The northern armies, which combined are much stronger than the Cantonese, have weakened themselves enormously through strife among themselves. The Eng fish and Japanese, who have fav- ored the northern armies, helping them when possible, have aided in this division rather than cementing their strength. The conduct of these northern war lords toward the innocent bystanders has not been such as to accelerate conh- dence among the natives, while the correspondent of the New York Times is authority for the state ment that the Cantonese are giving such an excellent example of good intentions and orderly conduct that the native population is rapidly swinging in their direction.
 The situation is one for which the friends Of the northern war lords can partly blame themselves. If the Cantonese finally triumph they will have done so not on ac- count of their own strength, but because Of the divisions of their British and Japanese aided adver- saries.

 It Out At Polls

Detroit, Oct. 27 P}-Spiced with allusions to large primary cam paign expenditures and garnished with warnings by the democrats that the election of the republican candidate would mean the return to power of the "Newberry wing" of the party, the Michigan governor ship cake awaits the voters knife next Tuesday.

Journalism in Waterbury is cele- hratIng this week. The American and the Republican, afternoon and morning papers issued by the same company, have been moved into a new plant, and there naturally is much jollification. Also many con gratulatons, in which we hasten to join.
 Both newspapers arc staunch supporters of sound policies. and the Republican Is noted for it's liberal attitude toward all public questions.
 May the progress that will come in the new quarters well fit these two aggressive twins of Journalism In Waterbury.

HIGHWAYS WILL DEMAND BONDS

Emphasis by the Republican or ganization that the state is out of debt. that 1t issues no bonds, no notes or other manifestations of cred it, and that its outgo Is less than its income, is all very well as far as 1t goes. But there is one point that needs to be emphasized just as emphatically, and that is that the need Of more and wider roads within the coming years will mean the issue of bonds to pay for them, Or else we will not get the highways.
 The income from motor vehicles and gasoline is not sufficient to pay for the new and wider roads needed throughout the state. Either we issue the bonds or do without the roads. If 1t is the intention to adopt the latter course a large number of automobile owners are going to be bitterly disappointed.
 Then there is the prospect of rebuilding the present roads within ten years. The state highway de- partment has given some estimates in this connection and has come to the conclusion that many more millions will be needed than can be secured on the pay-as-you-go plan of road maintenance and build ing.
 For the present, however, the pay-as-you-go business serves its purpose. There is small likelihood that the highway situation will per init of a permanent no-bonds policy.

Senator Samuel M. Ralston, Demo- crat, is almost certain to have his colorless self denied the pleasure of further trips 10 Washington. In Albert Stump, the candidate op- posing Watson, the Democrats have a whirlwind campaigner, while in Evans Woollen, the candidate oppos- ing Robinson the Democrats have a type of man Of rare mould in poli- tics. He is an Indianapolis banker favored by the business interests and having the confidence of the rank and file. Both Democratic candi- dates are free of KIan influences and are choking dry, while the Republi- can candidates are suspected of be- ing Klan candidates and have not been dry enough to satisfy the ma iority. Indiana was one of the states which was dry long before the Vol stead act was passed.

Washington - Local issues in this state are not fayoring Senator Wesley L. Jones, Republican, who is being given a tight race by A. Scott Bullitt, Democrat Senator Jones won by a plurality of 117,76o in 1920, but in 1923 Senator c. c. Dill, Democrat, won by a plurality of 3,9G7. In a state where the vote fluctuates in this manner anything may happen in 1926.

State police who lodged two al legged burglars in the county jail without notifying Berlin court of ficials where their trial on one count was to take place, either did not think the alleged yegmen were safe in Berlin or they had small re- spect for the convenience of the Berlin court. Judge Griswold and Prosecutor Lewis can be expected to make some pertinent inquiries about this. although nobody 10 date has yet won an argument with the state police or the jail authorities.

 If the proponents of a smaller Common Council will take care to tell the public just how it would make for less politics and more ef- ficiency they might be able to edu- cate public opinion to the point where the change can be brought about.

Massachusetts - Senator William NJ. Butler. Republican, is dry; ex- Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, is wet. The late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge barely squeaked through in 1922 with plurality of little more than 7,000-an off year that might be compared with the present. In 1924, the Coolidge landslide year, Senator r. H. Gillett only had a plurality Of 18,5SS against Walsh. No one doubts that Walsh can consis- tently run far ahead of his ticket in Massachusetts, which Senator Butler knows as we'll as anyone. It's a close battle in Massachusetts, which nominally is Republican state. The extent of the Democratic vote around Boston will settle fl; the western part of the state will yield the usual maiorities for the Repub-
 lican ticket. .. ,.
