fronted with the extra fare im- position.
 But when the New York Central which also operates the Boston & Albany - is considered, and the Pennsylvania, the idea seems to be to get as much out of the public as possible.
 Of course, If one travels a long distance a Pullman sleeper is al- most a necessity. But every such long distance train also does short haul business between the main ter minals, and the people living en route and travelling the shorter dis tances are certainly entitled to good railroad service between the more important smaller cities without being forced to travel in state If they do not wish to do so.

FLORIDA LAND SPECULATION

People who speculate must be prepared to accept a loss as well as a profit. In a sense, it is gambling proposition, and a per- fectly legal one. The element of chance may not be present in as eopious a quantity as at a horse race, but when a man buys Florida real estate - usually at a high figure he in effect blanks down his money and bets the value of the property will increase. The same holds good of much other property bought flor investment purposes"
 When. however, as in the case of much Florida land, the entire cost of the property is not paid outright, but loans and mortgages figure to an undue extent, the situation is somewhat more complicated; es- pecially is this the case when the bettor or speculator opines the in- crease in the value of the land will be rapid enough to help take care Of the loan payments. This scheme closely approaches marginal speculation on the stock market.
 It is for this reason, perhaps, that numerous speculators in Flor ida land have found that the syndi- cates require additional payments. Protective committees are hurriedly formed, investigators are appointed, and the upshot usually is that the spectators, in order to protect" their property, must dig down into their jeans and produce more money - just like a marginal stock specuIator does when the yagaries of the stock market goes against him.
 But the question is, who event. ually pays the spectators if they win? The public, of course. And so subtle is the system that the public doesn't know it is doing it. The business of grabbing off unearned increment is one of the most cher ished institutions of the nge for those who get the increment, When the increment isn't as was antic- ipated, and there is 8 loss, the speculaters must be willing to stand the razz. Just now the raspberry crop promises to be large.

POLITICS AND JOB
 HUNTERS

Subtract job-hunting from poll tics and there is very little left to interest able-bodied. go-getting he- men. .r
 How much job-hunting Is part of politics the main part--was again fairly well illustrated in the evidence taken by Senator Jim Reeds senatorial investigation committee in Chicago, where the stench incident to the late Illinois primaries is being fumigated.
 It was disclosed that the political situation throughout the entire state is one of factions, all adher- ents having an eye upon the pub lie crib. In Chicago there are half a dozen powerful factions. One Me- gro leader from the second ward testified he had no adherents. that he was the entire faction himself and was out to get his, just like all the other factions.
 One political patriot naively tes- tified his faction was composed ex- elusively of a circle of job-hunters and personal friends. To be explicit, he said there were 52 job-seekers in his organization at average sal aries of stsO to s20O month, Which led Senator Reed to calcu- late that the particular ward boss being quizzed controlled s125,Oo0 in annual patronage.
 And to put a complete and ar tistie touch to the picture under view, it was testified that six in the family of. the ward boss were job holders, like himself.
 Downstate the situation is no different. There are factions in every county, and a continual bat tie is waged with the upstate fel- lows for control at Springfield, H., the state capital
 All of which leads sundry com mentators to surmise Illinois is diff ferent than most states. It may, in truth, be a little different; but the difference Is one in quantity and volume only.
 Job hunting is the soul of poll tics everywhere. And job-holding is the ultimate object.
 Without job-hunting and job holding there would be no politics as we know them.

TOO MANY EXTRA FARE TRAINS

There are two classes of railroad travellers - those who don't care a cent whether all the thorough trains are composed of Pullman only" and "extra fare" trains, and those who do not feel like paying more than necessary to get from place to place.
 Some of our leading railroads in recent years have about come to the conclusion that nobody wants to ride in a day coach any more, and that nobody wants to ride in anything but an extra fare train, even for comparatively short dis tances.
 Right here let it be known dis tinctly that neither the New Haven nor the Boston & Maine are among these effendsys One can ride on the fastest and best of trains on these systems without being con-

There was much excitement out side the special Berlin town meet ing last night. Sherman Winchell and E. I.

curity for other institutions that would appear to be matter be- tween these parties, provided the methods followed hew close to the line of legality.
 Such concerns are of much benefit to honest people who find themselves in uncomfortable cir cumstanees. In this respect they serve public need.
 But if there are cases through out the state in which the mort gazing of personal property is done so that the owners can pur- chase productive luxuries, the circumstances are not so good This would be rather an evil than a benefit.
 The state law seems to be pe- culiar. As Commissioner Byrne points out, licensed companies can charge no more than 42 per cent interest annually - or 3 1-2 per cent monthly. But unlicensed com panies, of which he says there are quite a number, can charge no more than 12 per cent annually. But the very fact that they are unlicensed may make 1t possible to evade the limitations of the law, directly or indirectly.
 Between loan companies on the one hand and the possibilities of installment buying on the other, life is made easy for those with a fairly steady income. They can borrow enough to make a first payment on an automobile and pay for the remainder on the install- ment plan. The future earning power may be in hook, but that is nothing new any more.

tric sign board. but wherever he still stands. he makes up in volume what he lacks in future. You all
 know him, the round, red faced gentleman that, resplendent in sil- yer buttons, makes the concourse ring with: 'Traaaaain flaw Hamphlth Lubushm Gawmph : East Whazziz Nebraah and way stashuns! Traaaaaaek numbuh Whah!" It. has long been a game with habitual train takers to make purse, each contestant getting one guess as to what is being announce ed, the nearest guess winning the pool. There is a story circulating that an announcer once gave out the request that Mrs. J. Ham mond Robinson report to the pull man office for the cowhide bag that she left there" Whep. the words had echoed through the restaurant and baggage room, the cencourse emptied and thirty-three people boarded the train to East Waveriy. Ohio, This is not authentic but the popularity of the tale proves that the station announcer has good chance in the contest.
 The vaudeville singer is also worthy of consideration. The non- chalant way in which he smothers the words of the song he happens to be singing is surely not to be overlooked. To the tune of almost anything handy, he bends confiden- tially over the footlights and sings in clandestine voice that She's a humph bleh whoo bleh shunshat- awney jomma in a swishup lala- rowney mraaaay!" accompanying the jem with sly, wicked smile that makes the old boys in the first three rows miserably confident that they are missing semething mighty hot.
 And the umpire! Aside from his authoritative waves, the words he mouths are probably the least un- derstandable of all. With the eyes of thousands fastened upon him to hear the verdict of the gentlemen who have been chosen to pitch that days game, he points megaphone to the heavens and blats animal like sounds that have never yet been deciphered. His infections of tone reach the farthest corner of the park, the last person on the fartherest bleacher is as nearly competent to untangle the mystery of his words as the person in the box nearest the orator. Neither of them ever have solved them and neither probably ever will solve them and that fact places the un- pire up near the head of the list for eligibles in this contest.
 These are only a few of the posi- tions that offer this attraction. The contest should bring out many more and when all of them are in and duly considered the committee might shut all the contestants in . large and windowless room and by means of tiny, hidden jets, pour lethal gas into the chamber until all signs of life inside have ceased. such sweet thought for a hot afternooni

OPERATE BUSSES WITH
 MORE CARE

A trolley motorman- - or "oper- ator," as they now are called - must undergo a rigid examination and undergo careful training be- fore he is given the right to pilot electric cars over city thorough fares.
 The Connecticut company and every other trolley company - realizes the importance of having operators who know their rules and abide by them under all circum- stances. ..4.
 AS a result it is rare to learn of a trolley car being operated reck- lessly; It is rare to see a trolley car being pushed to the last inch of available space between the vehicle ahead; it is rare to see a trolley car started too soon, or without due and sufficient warning to others; 1t is rare to see one turning corner too swiftly at the Center; it is rare to see one sneaking past the red signal just as it is about to shine, or to jerk ahead the moment the intermediary yellow light flickers
 All this comes through train ing.
 Now we come to bus drivers. Let the bus managers lay down more stringent rules ond regulations and stick to them with an iron hand. It won't take much trouble and the public and autoists generally. who are complaining bitterly about the way some of the bus drivers treat them, will be pleased at the improvement.

SENATOR MILAN
 ID MAKE SPEECH
Mill Preside at Republican
 Convention

Hartford, Aug. 14-chairman J., Henry Rerahack of the republican state central committee yesterday announced that United States sena- tor George P. Mclean of simsbury had accepted an invitation to serve as temporary chairman of the re- publican state convention, which will be held in Foot Guard hall here September 13. As temporary chair man, Senator Mclean will deliver the Keynote" address of the con- vention on the opening night. The usual procedure has been for the committee on organization to rec ommend that the temporary organ ization be made permanent.
 Former Judge Alexander ", Creeden, of this city, will be tenn porary secretary of the convention and, with MT. Roraback, will ap- point those to act as temporary as- sistant secretaries. This organization, If the usual procedure is followed, will be made permanent for the con- vention on report of the committee on organization
 Senator Mclean will be the first man in several years to sound the keynote" at two successive conven- tions. He delivered the opening ad- dress and presided at the special convention in November, 1924, at which Senator Hiram Bingham was nominated as the candidate for the place left vacant by the death of Senator Brandegee, the preceding republican state convention.
 There. are so far no signs of any contests for places on the state ticket, except that between the pres ent lieutenant governor J. Edwin Brainard and ex-Senator John M, Wadhams. Indications yesterday were that the five eopgressmen who represent Connecticut will be un- opposed in the congressional district convention. The Putnam Patrist." which has been attacking the record of Congressman Richard P. Free man of New London, representative of the second district, in it's issue of yesterday, while continuing it's st- tack on Congressman Freeman's rec ord, says with the state conventions only a month away,s it Is very un- likely that any opponents will arise to dispute MT. Freeman's claim for the seat which he has filled so long and so Intellectually.
 The election of members of the new state central committee will be held on the second day of the state convention, according to the party rules. There have been no reports of any contests which will involve the present members of the state central committee, but at least one new member will be placed on the con- mittee, due to the vacancy in the representation of the Sixth District. caused by the death of ex-senater George w, Klett, which has not been filled.
