CONNECTICUT CAMPAIGN
Springfield Republican,

The important question over the line in Connecticut is not as to which ticket will win for there is apparently no doubt on that score - but whether it is the last or next to last campaign in which J. Henry Roraback, majordomo of the Republican party and of certain public utilities, will deign to con- duct for the good of the people. There have been suggestions that Mr. Roraback may retire from politics in the not distant future. He is reputed to have become very rich man. He must at least be Q very thick-skinned one. Other wise he would have retired long since.
 The Democratic candidates for the Connecticut governorship and senatorship, Charles G. Morris of New Haven and Rollin L. Tyler, respectively, are both excellent men. Staunch Republicans in New Haven give MT. Morris credit for excellent qualities which one has not yet heard them credit 10 Gov. Trumbull, or, for that matter, to that other New Havener, Senator Bingham. Judge Tyler is not a glut- ton for the limelight, but is looked upon with respect.
 The handicap under which Nor ris and Tyler labor is that the Democratic party in Connecticut has too few men like them and that its leadership and organiza- iion over a period of years has not been Of the best. The result is that many Republicans who would like to rid the state of Rorabackism do not know where to turn.
 Referring to the charges made by the Democrats against the Roraback machine for it's despotic rule and ruthless bossism, the Wa terbury Republican has made an extraordinarily frank reply, saying in part:
 ITO these charges the decent, self-respecting Republican can make no direct reply. For they are all true. and the more they are brought to the attention of the Re- publicans the better it will be for the Republican party. The Republi- cans can only assert in reply that the machine for all It's faults has given the state reasonably honest and efficient management of fits several departmental activities, and provided in the main sound logisla- tlon of an administrative nature.
 Nevertheless this Is the least mat any party in power ought 10 give In service 10 a state. In itself 1t would not constitute a sufficient reason for keeping the Republican, party in power providing there were any certainty that the Demo- cratic party would do equally we'll in the same respect. But the loose, factional and temporizing Demo- cratic party does not command the puhlic's confidence.
 This is a pity, for 1t would be good thing for Connecticut If the Democratic party commanded re- spect as the equal of the Republi-

With prices on cotton so low that thousands of planters In the South face extremely hard times, if not bankruptcy. one would think that the New England textile in- dustry would at least be the gainer from low prices on raw material. Yet word from Boston would indi- cate a contrary condition. There seems to be so much wrong with the textile industry that nothing can help 1t. The only progress vis- ible seems to be in the South, where the mills largely owned by New England capital - are close to the source of raw material supply. The tire fabricating plants, however. are gaining much from the prevailing prices of cotton, as much cotton goes into a tire along with the rubber.

EUROPEAN ROYALTY
 NOW AT STOCKHOLM
Arriving to Be Present at Wed-
 ding Thursday

Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. i R- The crowned heads of three nations are expected to arrive tomorrow in preparation for the civil wedding on Thursday uniting Crown Prince Leo- pold of Belgium anda Princess Astrid niece Of King Gustav of Sweden.
 King Albert and Queen Elizabeth Of Belgium, the bridegroom's par ents, are coming by sea. They will debark at Gothenburg and come to the capital on a special train, ar- irving about the same time as King Christian of Denmark and King Haakon of Norway.
 Prince Leopold arrived Saturday. leaving the train at wayside sta- tion and motoring directly to the home of his brides parents, Prince Charles and Princess Ingeborg, the duke and duchess of Vaster-Got- land. In this way he avoided great throng of people, gathered at the Stockholm station.
 Grown Prince Olav of Norway, who arrived by ordinary train this morning, will be the shortest of all the male royalties assembled for the wedding, as King Gustav, King Christian, King Haakon. King AL bert and Prince Charles are all over six feet.
 By staying at the home of Astrid's parents, Leopold is able to see much of his bride. They spent yesterday receiving numerous friends who called to bring congratulations and get a glimpse of the wedding gifts thus far received. Today an after noon tea and dance was held for the princess and her intimate friends. A ball will be given to- night by the brides parents.
 Among the valuable wedding gifts displayed in the Princess Ingeborg's drawing room are a diamond neck less from King Gustav, an emerald and diamond necklace from the brides parents. a coffee set in silver and enamel from the King and Queen of Norway, and portrait of Prince Carl as colonel in the Swedish Horse Guards. given by the officers of that regiment. No gifts from Belgian sources are yet on dis play.
 The wedding ring to be used in the civil ceremony here Is. in ac- cordance with Swedish custom. plain gold circlet. but for the re- lgious ceremonies in Brussels cn November 10 the bride will receive fro~, her husband another ring ot gold, set with an enormous diamond.
 The remains of all Italian pris- oners of war buried on German soil will be collected and inferred in four principal German cemeteries.

between the infiexibility of law without this system, and the needs ---or apparent needs of some families who require the earning power of children to help maintain themselves. If care and caution Is exercised in giving such permits, the system will be satisfactory. But if all those who ask are to be per mitted to get them without prov ing beyond a doubt that they are necessary. then the system can we'll become a vicious blot within the commonwealth. No charges arc being made, of course; frankly. we do not know whether requisite care is being exercised or whether it is not; we only know, as Miss Welles points out, that 455 such permits were issued in this city last year and this total seems too high.
 Most children are normal, no doubt; and that is additional req son why they should be normally educated, to grow into normal men and women. That this has not been done in the past, despite our boast ed educational system, can be de- ducted form the report of Frank P. Graves, state commissioner of education for New York. at the American Academy of Political and Social Science at Philadelphia. He said that about 25 per cent of the population Is in that delightful state of ignorance to indicate bliss; and added that the examination of army recruits during the world war clearly revealed "the presence of people now described as morons."
 We don't see what the presence of "a foreign population" has to do with ameliorating the work permit statistics of city. The children of foreign parents, one would think require the fundamentals of an American standard education as much as the children of natives. And it must not be overlooked that the children of Foreigners" born in this country, as most of them are, come under The classification of being native born Americans.
 Work permits should be sparing- ly issued. The children of all par cnts are entitled to all the free education the state provides. There are unfortunately parents who re- fuse to sacrifice much in behalf of their children so far as providing them with an average education Is concerned. These wrong the child while temporarily benefting them selves; and the harm to the child, except In rare cases where earlier defects of education are surmount- cd by personal effort in later life, remains throughout life.
 The responsibility invested in the state agents and the boards of edu- cation in the issuance of work permits is profound. They frequent ,ly find themselves standing be- tween the rapacity of parents and the welfare of the child, and they should never give way for insuffi- cient reasons.

A murder trial by radio is the latest innovation to confront the startled public or is the public getting blase and finds itself un- able to be startled any more? That part of the public which has held that crime news should be played down instead of being played up will naturally take alarm and will begin blaming the radio as a thing of evil If it is to be used in this manner. But is 1t? The Hall-Mills case teaches at least one thing -- that 1t is getting increasingly difi- cult 10 commit crime and get away with 1t.
