business of helping the farmers, he admits, but not because of the Hess government in business slogan. Who Is helped depends upon who the recipient happens to be, he points out. And then goes on to say:
 "As compared 10 the above farmers an insignificant number Of men formed company and went into the business of digging a waterway knowp as the Cape Cod canal. It is not apparent who they were, or are: that information is secretly locked in the breast of a prominent New York attorney. It was not a success from a money point of view, but we learn that the not in business present administration is in favor of taking the project off their hands by pay ing them s1S,OO0,O0o on an es- timated cost of only s2.5O0,000 Why is the government so eager to recoup so handsomely these water way farmers and so chary in help ing the grain farmers?"
 Which again proves that arguing with an embattled farmer nowadays is one of the worlds most thankless verbal undertakings.

THE KOPCENZSKI CASE
(Watcrbury Republican)

(Waterbury Republican,
 The National Crime commission, in making recommendations for changes in the penal laws recently, expressed the opinion that when it is found that an innocent person has been convicted the state ought to reimburse him for the damage done by the miscarriage of justice.
 It is equally true that when a person has been detained in jail for a long period of time. although not charged with any offense, he should be compensated for the damage done him. Such a person is Peter Kopcenzski, who was re- released from the Hartford county jail Tuesday after being held for more than two years at the in- stance of the government. Five years ago he was convicted of sell ing stolen fur coat and was sent to jail for three years. He served his term, but has since been held in jail while the government, supposedly, has been trying to get the govern ment of Poland 10 agree 10 his de- portation to that country.
 The government has been guilty of ineXcusable delay. Peter has lost two years in which he might have

\ STRONG REJOINDER FROM A FARMER

II. M. Thompson. of the small town of Springfield, N. H., appears 10 be well qualified to write a few lines upon agricultural topics, so that when he took his pen in hand to denounce what a writer in the Boston Herald had to say about western farm radicals he had some facts on hand calculated to make a comeback quite unneces- sary and improbable.
 There have been 6OO,00O western grain farmers who through no fault of their own have lost their all in farms and homes, MT. Thomp- son points out To call them radicals because they are trifle sore over their fate is rather outrageous. he thinks.

Observation On Tie Weather

Washington, Aug. 6.-Forecast for Southern New England; Cloudy tonight and Saturday; probably showers Saturday; not much change in temperature; fresh east winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Partly cloudy, probably occasional showers tonight and Saturday; not much change in temperature; mod crate northeast winds.
 Conditions: A well defined area of low pressure over upper Michi- gan is causing unsettled showery weather in the upper Mississippi valley and lake region. Another disturbance over North Carolina is causing heavy rains on the middle Atlantic coast. An area of high pressure central over North Dakota is producing pleasant weather with a decided fall in temperature in the western districts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity partly cloudy weather followed by local showers and not much change in temperature.

BROAD PESTS" WHO
"BUNI" RIDES

Along the well-traveled bikes from New Britain to Hartford and to PlainvilIe, and all along the other bikes they are found, the road pests" who hold aloft an overworked right thumb and seek to induce autoists to give them a lift"
 Considering that in most instances inc strangers are unknown to au- toists, and considering there may be crooks, buns and evil-minded gentry among those who are we'll meaning and respectable, the busl- ness of accomm odating them IS fraught with danger.
 It has occurred repeatedly that "bumming rides" has resulted in bold hold-ups. sometimes in mur- der.
 Most autoists would be perfectly willing to give a ride to everyone discovered walking in the same di- rection upon the highways. What deters them, however, is common sense.
 The road pests" should buy and operate their own cars.
 Let them find that out.

A GOOD DISCOVERY IN PLAINVILLE

The agitation about the changed stopping place of Connecticut com pany trolley cars in PIainville has led to an important discovery.
 This has to do with the fact that the cars occupy street space for too long time.
 Not only does the company utilize the street for reversing the trip, but 1t receives long free park ing space in the middle of the highway.
 The same holds true of the Bris- tol & Plainville car terminal stop in the same town.
 The trolley cars are parked for long periods just where they make of themselves the greatest possible menace to traffic.
 We'll, then, what is to be done about it?
 The cars have got to stop some where, the companies will reply.
 One way to- solve the difficulty would be to keep them moving.
 Another would be to induce, per- suade or force the companies to provide their own private terminals something which should have been done years ago in both Plain vile and New Britain.

GETTING RID OF SMOKE
 IN THE CITIES

One of the current jokes about Pittsburgh is that they don't wash or launder soiled duds there-they bury them.
 Which is by way of emphasizing the murky blackness of the at mosphere due to too much smoke from factory chimneys.
 That Williamstown speaker who said it was possible for cities to prevent smoke from contaminating the air should be worth a billion dollars in Pittsburgh.
 And worth something to other cities which have been vainly try ing to let a little sunshine in.
 Chemistry may win another vic tory and may keep factory chim- neys as clean as Dutch kitchens.
 Such New Britain salesmen as have occasion to visit Pittsburgh will wish God speed to the plan.
 But there are other factory cities besides Pittsburgh and they are not all as filled with soot as railroad tunnel.
 There is New Britain. for in- stance.
 We have factories by the dozen; foundries; chimneys that bclch smoke screen to the clouds; and the ever-present locomotives of the New Haven railroad doing their stuff.
 Yet there have been no com plaints of a sooty, smoky atmos- phere in this city.
 We have the factories and the chimneys, and have fully con- quered the smoke situation arising therefrom. There are some, indeed, who l

25 Fears Ago Today

The charge of w. E. Allen against Special Officer Alfred E. Atwater was aired before the police board last night. AtWater, who is a milk man and makes an odd dollar by doing police duty, was patrolling the streets on the night of July when hilarious Young America was abroad. He encountered band of young men and put one of them under arrest. This one, Allen claimed had been maltreated by the supernumerary. Atwater testified that the youth had no coat or col lar and so when he broke from his grasp he had to seize Allen by the neck. The board voted to exoner- ate the officer.
 At the common council meeting last night Superintendent of Wires George Cooley asked for an ordi- nance requiring electricians seeking to do wiring to come to him for permits first, in order that he might check up on this work and see it was done properly. Alderman Cur tis crcatad a breeze over the city collectors accounts and Councilman LeGhorn wanted to know when a report on the investigations would be forthcoming. The mayor said he was waiting for a few more facts and would then make known the results of the search. After long fight in which Aldermen Curtis and Pinches took the nega- tive side, the council voted to order walks laid on the northern end of Washington street. In several places, MT. Curtis said the walk will be below the street grade. $. ShurberG was given permission to connect his Elm street property with the public sewer.

claim with a show of probability that the New Haven locomotives provide more smoke clouds than our factories.
 What is it about New Britain that has created this ideal condi- ton despite the location of its many factories here?
 Simply that the city contains an abundance of trees.
 Some simple folks think trees are only good for providing shade in the summer time or adding to the beauties of the streetscapes.
 But they have a utilitarian value also, the purifcation of the atmos- phere.
 Where there is forest of trees the atmosphere always seems to be all right.
 It is. too. The trees are natures chemists.

Nothing was said about the in- fluence of the radio in this instance; perhaps if the church had contin- ued longer complaints would have developed in connection with this new form of competition.
 It can scarcely be denied that If the seeker for religious counsel can obtain an address delivered by any of the foremost preachers of the day over the radio with no more effort than incident to turning a dial; when he can hear a highly efficient choir sing beautiful an- thems in perfect nuance; when he can hear a master organist play a magnificent organ;-when he can hear all this by remaining at home he is less likely to go to the trouble of attending a church few blocks or mile away and listen to an inferior preacher, an inferior choir or an inferior organist.
 For it is unlikely that any but the finest of church services would
