Honor if made permanent would be the most artistic and impressive memorial that could be erected to the memory of the veterans. The names of all those who took part in the World war could be placed on tablet on the main arch, and each one who died would have the individual shaft to his memory. l believe there are large num- Der of others in the city who would favor making the present Court of Honor the permanent memorial to the veterans.
 Why not let all the living vetA erans and the parents of the dead decide this question?
 Respectfully Yours,

STATE ADVERTISING ALWAYS PAYS

Every state in the Union believes in advertising its merits, but there is 8 wide diversity in the methods employed. Most Of them rely upon the state patriotism of their citi- zens and the nice things their newspapers can print about them. There isn't 8 newspaper in any state that cannot put up a bully argument for the commonwealth where it happens to be published. But unfortunately the press in other states usually merely pooh poohs the statements and refers to its own fine points. The people in every state take nice references about their commonwealths as a matter of course. Manifestiy this kind of state advertising, circulat- ing mostly among people who are already convinced boosters, is not of the best kind. It is like that of a circus boosting its entertainment value to it's own employees - they would already be at every per- formanee and don't pay admission. It is the outsiders who must be reached.
 If there Is one thing above everything else Connecticut in the summer time has to offer it is beauty, made universally accessible by good roads. People within the state are very well aware of this but what about those living in other states who every summer are looking for nice place in which to spend their vacations? No tangi- ble effort is ever made to interest them in Connecticut when they think of their vacations.
 Motor tourists come to Conneeti- cut, 1t is true, but nine out of ten are hurriedly passing through it. Stay or go as you like" seems to be the states motto regarding tourists - and they usually go as swiftly as gasoline can take them. Those from the New York gateway are bound for Cape Cod, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine, and they don't tarry long in the Nut meg state. Most of them, in truth, don't pass near the most beautiful part of the state - they are not attracted to the region of the Housatonic, or the Naugatuck, and perchance don't even see the valley of the Connecticut if they stick to the shore route, as it is suspected most of them do
 While Connecticut fails to adver- tise it's scenic advantages effective ly, some of the other New England states are spending money to draw people to themselves during the summer months. Perhaps that is why so many tourists are so busy passing through Connecticut.

REPUBLICANS PREPARE
 FOR FALL CONTEST

Announcement by Judge B. w.. filling that he is candidate for the republican nomination for sena- tor from this district serves to clear the atmosphere, so far as that party is concerned. It is doubtful whether he will have any opposi- ton, the judge being a fayorite in republican circles and regarded as 6 strong vote getter.
 No formal declaration of candi- dsey for the party nomination for representative has been made by Fred 0. Rackliffe and William H, Judd, although it is assumed gen. orally that they will appear in the race. The former served his first term in state office at the last ses- sion of the general assembly. The latter is chairman of the republi- can town committee ana president pro tenn of the common council.
 The selection of the slate is said to have been made at a meeting Wednesday evening at republican headeuarters. The mind of the average voter is more occupied with plans for vacation than with any, thing else, especially politics, and announcement Of the candidates caused little stir. Later. when the democrats choose their nominees and platforms are made public the situation will become more interest ing.

Editor, New Britain Herald:
 The design of the memorial to be erected on Walnut Hill that was published in the Herald seemed to me very beautiful one but could it not be arranged to have it use full as well as ornamental? If it could be arranged to have the cir conference of the structure made larger and have a stairway built on the inside leading to a platform near the top of the monument thus giving the people an opportunity of seeing for miles the scenery of the surrounding country and would also be an attraction for visitors to our city who, I am sure, would ap- preciate the view of our city and surrounding country and carry
