25 Years Ago Today

The Odd Fellows of New Britain have voted 10 march as escort to the Patriachs Militant when they parade here on the 10th. Samuel F. Magson will be marshal.
 Congressman F.. Stevens Henry was in New Britain today investi- gating the post office conditions. He expects that an addition can be made soon. It is not generally known but the New Britain carriers are about the hardest worked body of government employees in the state. Meriden has more mailmen but does less than onc-third as much busi- ness. Relief in this direction is also hoped for at an early date.
 An effort Is being made to form military indoor baseball league to include Cos. F and I of this city. D of Bristol, Foot Guards and Horse Guards of Hartford, and Co. c of South Manchester. Sergeant John Fades has been elected manager of Co. Els team.

\ FORMER SENATOR OF NATIONAL NOTE

What a difference environment makes. There was former L. s. Senator Richard Frankling Petit grew, Of South Dakota, for instance. He was born in Ludlow, Vermont, in that section of the state where the Coolidges came from. But the Cool idges remain indigenous 10 the Yer mont soil, retaining all the mental characteristics of conservative Yer mont mentality. Pottigrcw. how ever, was taken 10 the west as a child and grew up with the coun- try Incidentally, he discarded all his Vermont ideas and eventually became one Of the moN radical of public characters. In all probability, had he remained In Vermont, he would have voted the straight Re- publican ticket all his life.
 What he advocated during his lifetime in the Dakotas sounds like leaf from soap-box orators campaign book. He fayored the single tax, opposed private owner ship Of land, favored government ownership and operation of railroads and telegraphs. was an ardent anti imperalist, opposed the annexation Of Hawaii and the Philippines, was at first Republican, then Demo-

TAX CUTS FOR ELECTION

The Democrats In the Senate strongly favor an immediate tax re- duction of around s35o,oOO, ,OOO, cit ing the treasury surplus and pro- spective income in the near future a. good reason therefor. The subject, of course, will be brought up in due form at the next session of Congress.
 But the Republicans, headed by Secretary Mellon. are not in favor of an additional tax cut at this lime. The Idea Is to wait-two years. In 1928, for instance, 1t would be much more appropriate year 10 blaze a new tax reduction before the dizzy body polite.
 That, of course. would be using the tax reduction scheme for fits prediction influence - as usual.

viously given, which would not be surprising considering that the fed eration has made no secret of the fact that 1t intends to attempt an organization of automobile workers.
 The Detroit c. Of c. is not 10 be blamed for fighting the move in any way it can, and one way is to pre- vent public speaking by federation- ists as much as possible.
 But the other side of the ques- ton involves the influence of com mercial interests in the churches. For years the claim has frequently been made that such interests have a preponderating influence in some religious bodies, and that this has made 1t difficult 10 interest the working man in the churches. Now this thing comes along to help but tress this attitude.
 The churches themselves are in a ticklsh position. Representatives of both sides of the controversy are identified with them, and 1t is said the original vote 10 invite the fed erationists to speak in the Detroit churches was very close. It did not require much influence later, it is patently clear, to change the in vitation to a refusal.
 Conditions in Detroit are different than in most cities where the A. F. of L. has met in recent years. The contemplated campaign there has awakened misgivings and apprehen- sion. In such a fighting atmosphere the ordinary couresies naturally would not be conspicuous.

MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
 TO "AJ" SMITH

What the Hearst newspapers do Is no longer a matter of perturbation to New York politicians; their idio- syncrasies have been so many that their influence to "carry" elections has been entirely dissipated, in the opinion of close observers. Conse- auently the astonishing turn re- corded by this section of the press against Governor Al Smith Is noth- ing Of great moment to the popular New York governor. The Hearst papers are supporting Ogden l.. Mills, Republican, against Smith.
 At the same time the Hearst paper. are supporting Roberts F. Wagner, Democratic nominee for senator against Wadsworth. What the befuddled readers will do re- mains to be seen. Our bet Is that they will stick to Smith.
 Arthur Brisbane, co-partner with Hearst, used to be a real Democrat. But that was during the days be- fore he became a big real estate operator. Now he Is the most pro- nounced admirer of President Cool idse there is. Not even Henry Ford is more Coolidge than Bris- bane.
 Brisbane grew up as an assistant and aid to the under dog. Now he is a sort of upper dog himself and maybe his interest has wancd. As for Hearst himself, he always had a strong personal liking for Ogden L. Mills, and that settles it. There was time when Hearst papers did not decide their politics upon the basis Of anybody's personal likes and dislikes, but stuck to the political issues.

 The late senator was relic of the day when politics were taken much more seriously than they are today. Unlike some others nearly everyone can mention, this man not only had convictions, but he cared not an iota whether they brough him votes or lost them. As the first senator from South Dakota after that state was admitted to the Union, in 1SS9- after having served a term as dele gate in Congress from the Dakota territory-he could have continued a political power in his state had he played with the boys. But at the Republican national convention in 1896, upon adopting a platform ig noring his pet tenet of the free coinage of silver he walked out of the building and subsequently, was defeated for reelection. It was then that he became a Democrat, a follower of w. J. Bryan, only to lose This identity with the party upon the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
 The west is well peopled by former New Englanders or their descendants, who. like Pettigrew, have lost all political and mental 1 identity with the prevailing New England point of view. The sire of | Pettigrew, when he lived in Yer mont, was a radical abolitionist, when these people had their head quarters in New England. He help | ed southern slaves to escape to Canada, which thousands of other New Englanders furthered and abet- l ted at the time. Environment was 8 yeast in the life of the elder Pet tigrew in New England just as much as it became @ dominating
 factor in the life of the younger
 Pettigrew in the Dakotas.
 We hear much criticism in New 1 England at times regarding the idiosyncrasies of the radical minded
 westerners." At the same time it is a historic fact that New England strains are prominent in the make
 up of these radical westerners. The only way to keep them con- servative and sensible, 1t seems,
 would be to have them remain in | New England. The western country
 has a serious effect upon their 1 thinking.

X CRASH IN THE DARK

IL appears from published reports that the fatal truck collision on the Berlin pike was due to the tail lights of the parked vehicle being covered by canvas. There have been truck collisions on the state roads due to failure to have proper tall lights, but this apparently was one of the first when the all-important tail lights were lighted but covered up.
 How fast trucks travel along the highways at night can be judged from the result of the collision. When they bump going at that rate something has got to give" as the colloquialism goes.

COMMUNICATED
BUEL R. BASSETTE TELLS WHAT
 HE DID AND DID NOT SAY
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
 Your report of my address before the w. C. T. L. in yesterdays issue was so badly garbled and mislead- ing that I would thank you to print the corrections herewith:
 In the first place, made no refer ence to the local doctors other than to say that the Civic Leagues at- tempt last year to check the liquor permits issued in Hartford to them met with refusal for political req sons. That left presumption of guilt in some quarters, for it is well known that all doctors were mot like the late lamented Dr.. Bray, who never issued one single prescription for liquor. My use of the term guilty dogs" applied to the national society of doctors who had put liquors out cause of their uselessness in medical practice; but put liquors back again in 1922 because of the evident profit to be made on the federal permit system. Beer never has been allow cd in the book. Some states prohibit the federal permit system altogether.
 The quotation ascribed to me about President Coolidge was plainly stated by me to be the statement of Allen Benson, one of the keenest political analysits in the country. l did, however, speak of Mir. Coolidge's failure to cooperate with Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, as showing his sympathy for the wet side.
 I made no reference whatever to present day conditions at West Point; but did quote what General Jerome said to me at West Point three years ago. Stirred by the then bootlegging, both at West Point and elsewhere, he said, If the govern ment really wants to dry up the country give the job to me and l will guarantee to do it.''
 Your reference as to what I said about the Bible as prohibition book is badly mixed. I did point 10 the Bible as bone dry prohibition book and quoted two words for wine in the Old Testament. "Tirosh" always stood for the unfermented fruit of

THE INDIANA SCANDAL

One more scandal won't sur prise us, especially in Indiana, where Senator Watson's political machine apparently has been getting credit for being too honest.
 As usual, a determined newspaper editor is at the bottom of the ex- pose. He is Thomas Adams, and he refuses to be squelched by the other more sedate and obsequious Republican editors Of the state. His charge that Governor Ed Jackson, elected with the support of the Ku Klux Klan, refuses to permit any one to speak with D. s. Stephenson, former klan leader who is serving a life sentence in state prison, de- serves widespread notice. Stephen son is reputed to have much inside information to give regarding how the Indiana Republican leaders used the klan and got cash. If an investigation will bring out this in- formation it would be a splendid public service.
 Conditions within the Republican party in Indianas may not be finan- cially as rotten as in Pennsylvania or Illinois, but they are quite as putrid in other respects. A party that has allowed itself to become the anteroom of the Ku kluY klan is deserving of all the opprobrium that 1t eventually will receive.
