 Let Mir. Insull have his little fun. Some men play golf, others chess; some are inordinately fond of au- tomobiles: some like racing stables: others have yachts; some support libraries and give money to col leges; others try to reform the world. But Mir. Insult has to get a kick out of life somehow when the acquisition of electric companies becomes dull business. Let him throw pennies to the little bad boys on the sidewalks of Chicago. He probably doesn't miss the money.

GETTING THEM BOOMING
 AND GOING"

Samuel Insull of Chicago, who, it is disclosed, contributed liberally 10 all sides in the recent primary, doubtless had his reasons for so do- { ing. Anyway, a man so closely l identified with traction and utility interests cannot afford to be on the outs with any political party or po- litieal faction. He doubtless wanted 10 be on good terms with ever::'- body and was willing to play the angel to all the devils or is that putting 1t too strong? Then make it mtlder, so long as it means about the same thing.
 But who Is the gentleman, this Insult?
 The utility and electric power in- terests in which Insult is the dom- mating character are so large that it would take bookkeeper to com pile them. They include important companies in New England, too. News stories relating how the In- sull holding companies have taken over another super-power or ordi- nary-power concern anywhere be- tween Maine and Colorado are commonplaces in the public press. There was one carried by the As- sociated Press just the other day.
 This latest acquisition had it that 'Insull Son & Co.,. Inc.," had taken over part of the common stock of the National Electric Power com- pany. This little company only ex- tends through Maine. Pennsylvania, Ohio. Michigan, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. And this toothsome morsel will be distributed, It was announced, among the Insull operating com panles. The Insulls have other im- portant interests in New England,

FEMALE ANNoUNCERs

Young women who have had ann bitions to become radio announcers that new calling which has at- tained uneyampled popularity with in a few years no doubt were chagrined upon reading that female announcers are unpopular.
 But little scratching of the cranium will awaken the realiza- ton that the female voice is not naturally made for such mundane requirements as telling it over the radio.
 There are a few very few - female preachers, and the reason there are not more of them must be due to the fact that the femi- nine voice is not adapted to the ringing fortissimo required in pub lie speaking.
 If mere man has an advantage in this respect let him have 1t. He has fewer advantages than he for merly had and the retention of this one to his little dwindling store will be not greatly missed by the army of feminine go-getters.

SHOOTING FOLLOWS
 FIRE IN RECTORY
LaElessness Grips PottSViIe and
 Murder Is Committed

Pottsyille, Pa, July 29 CP-Feel- ing against the roadhouses in Schuylville and adjoining counties. which has been growing steadily since the burning of Catholic rec tory on June 15. has been further intensified by a murder. Vincent Lorosa, a former proprietor of one of the places, was shot to death yes- terday in the Eagle Road House. near Ringtown. Dominick Rao. owner of the Eagle, his bartender. Frank Madasser, are held at wit nesses.
 The burning of the rectory was alleged to have been in retaliation for campaign launched against the road houses by the Rev. Patrick Fleming. Nine persons have been arrested in connection with the al- legged incendiarism. Seven are under total of s33,OoO bail while two, Isel Abrahams, and Jacob Solomon, are in jail awaiting hearings.
 Police today promised thorough Investigation, not only of the mur- der. but of the roadhouses as we'll. Both Rao and Madasser disclaimed any knowledge of the staying. Rao said that the men entered his place and after ordering a drink, con- manded the occupants to throw up their hands. One of them took a pistol from Larosa and ordered the bartender to hand over the money in the cash register. As Madasser turned to comply, one of the in- truders shot Larosa through the head and after he fell to the floor another shot was fired through his abdomen.
 The gunmen then left the place and disappeared in their automobile without taking the money in the cash register or several hundred dollars that Larosa carried in his pocket.
 The authorities said Larosa's occupation was enticing girls away from one roadhouse to and that this might have led to his staying. He was A years old.

COMMON DECENCY LESS COMMON?

A western paper has come to hand with a statement that com mon decency seems to be on the wane, and all because automobile | peters are getting so bold in the wheat country that they no longer wait to park their cars after night fall, but make a show of them selves in broad daylight. It appears they do not even bother about get 1 ting off the main highways in that part of the country.
 f Says the LaPorte, Ind, Herald:
 Not so long ago LaPorte peters who used the public highways for their practices, deemed 1t the better part of decency to wait until night, at least, before beginning their pet ! ting. But now couples in brazen fashion on the open road in day. light indulge in necking to such a degree that motorists pass in dis gust.
 "An open car of any kind or de- scription Is the vehicle used for this modern public pastime. One wonders what has become of the once we'll thought of virtue of com mon decency. One wonders at what price a woman nowadays sacrifices her modesty, an attribute which was considered not so many years ago one of the most charming and valued which woman could pos sess. One wonders what kind of a race of men we breed today, when the sheik and the pink boys own automobiles and with their women companions make re- yolting scenes on travelled high ways.
 "The deprecation of the Ameri- can home and family. which fills columns of magazines, papers, furnishes material for sermons, diatribes, and pamphlets, seems justified when the necking parties along our roads are considered. We need a revival of good old-fashion- ed decency."
 From this it can be judged that Connecticut Is still decent. Its couples at least do not begin neck ing and mushing until nightfall. It is nice to realize that. measured with the Indiana yardstick. Con- necticut peters remain decent merely because they neck in the night time. This common decency, we have no hesitation in saying, must be maintained. If any peters are seen along the roads in the daytime they still get what Is known as the razz from discreet passing motorists who are cruising around while awaiting nightfall.

Then a specially trained group of chambermaids went through a series of swedish move ments and Gus. in his enthusiasm. handed me the Oinstroker Cool stroof, or Order of the Velvet Step- ladder.
 We served our first gala banquet in the Royal Suite that evening. during the course of which the Prince turned to me and said. What could be suiteer?" and I answered, Quite so, and what could be swed- er?' More fun. We sat late over our soko (triple distilled seal-oil) which goes down and comes up very easily. Gus went a bit far with it and I looked out next morning and saw him leaning the royal forehead against the Pole. The trip back fix ed him up o. K. and he left me full of soko and enthusiasm. He has taken rooms for August when he says he is going to bring his brothers Olaf. Witlaf, and Pilaff up for party.

NEW BRITAIN AND MAIL BY AIR

Admission by Postmaster H. E. Erwin that the air mail business out of New Britain has not been of astonishing proportions so far, is not surprising.
 The postmaster's expressed hope that the business will improve in the autumn, when there is gen. eral pickup in business" represents an expression of legitimate opti- mism. ....s r
 A few weeks ago we pointed out that the Boston-New York plane, serving this city through Hartford, could not be expected to get much business out of New Britain so long as the closing time for mail at the local office was only approximately two hours later than the closing time for train-and- plane mail with connections with New York.
 
 New Britain's air mail business goes divided. Up to around 2:30 D.. m. air mail is first despatched by train to New York and thence put on a plane; from then up to around 4:30 it Is despatched to Hartford to be placed on the New England plane. The latter method costs five cents more than the former, per letter. The disadvantages to the New England mail Is marked.
 Now the postmaster tells us that there Is so little of it that direct special despatch to Hartford is en- tirely unnecessary. If most of our mid d-west airmail goes to New York by train = as seems to be the case 1t is small wonder no special despatch to Hartford is necessary.
 But in the use of the transcon- tinental airmail New Britain is do- ing at least It's bit This mail closes here at night and connects with the transcontinental planes at New York next morning. Letters from local manufacturing concerns are going to the Pacific coast in that manner quite regularly and it is known the plan has been giving remarkable satisfaction, the time from here being twice as fast as by train the entire distance. In order to be fully successful this is the kind of service the airmail system must be able to give.

A DISPATCH FROM 25 YEARS AGO
In the Herald just 25 years ag'

In the Herald just 25 years ago was the following dispatch:
 Buffalo, N. Y. - At a meeting of the board Of directors of the Pan-American exposition held last evening 1t was decided that the en- tire midway at the exposition will be closed next Sunday, including a number of restaurants which have heretofore been permitted to re- main open. Moreover. the midway will be fenced and no visitors al- lowed to traverse it on Sunday. This is the outcome of the action Of the concessionaires in sending an uItimatum to the directors office informing him they would open their gates next Sunday when the exposition gates opened
 From which it can be judged, in view of the ruction caused by open ing the sesqui- Centennial exposition in Philadelphia on Sundays. that we advance with great difficulty in 25 years.
 Last Sunday there were 250,00O people at the Sesqui exposition. On the same day there were S50,000 people at Coney Island. Which leads the New York World to ask, why the uproar over the sesqui and none about Coney?
 X first class Sunday blue law agitation about Coney Island being wide open on Sunday would be good advertising for the resort; at least, so the World claims. With such advertising the 1000. .0oo at- tendance mark would quickly be reached. .r.-

Of the S4 senators whose terms expire with the present Congress 27 are Republicans and seven arc Democrats the latter from the Solid South. There is no possibility therefore, of an increase in the Re publican majority in the upper house.
 In order to hold its present ma iority of fl the Republican party must win in all states in which Re- publican Senate seats are contested.
 If seven of these seats are won by Democratic candidates, the Re publican strength will be reduced to 4S - exactly half the member ship.
 In case of tie the Vice-Presi- dent - Republican - has the casting vote. But that wouldn't do any good as Senator shipstead, the Farmer-Labor member, doesn't usually vote with the majority on leading questions.
 If eight of the present Republi- can seats are won by Democratic candidates, the Democratic strength will be one vote more than the Republican.

What chance has the Republican party to control the next - the roth - Congress, especially the Senate?
 To listen to Republican optimists it appears unlikely that change will take place; to listen to Demo- cratic optimists nothing but sub stantial Democratic majority is in sight.
 Who is telling the truth and who is indulging in political palaver?
 Only a dispassionate analysis of the possibilities yields a worthy conclusion. Here is the analysis:
