STATE UNIVERSITIES
 AND POLITICS

The nofarious result of permit ting politics 10 dominate a great state university is again to the front in the state of Washington, where Governor Roland H. Hart ley, a timber owner, has taken re- venge upon Dr. Henry Suzzallo, for II years president of the University of Washington.
 Nothing but ill-feeling dating from the war period is in back of the governors action. At that time President Suzzallo. joining hands with the labor department of President Wilson's administration, advocated a change in working conditions in the lumber camps. Hartley objected and blamed Suz- gallo for the rules and regulations instigated by the Wilson admins tration.
 Now Hartley is governor, and evidently thinks the chief require ment of his office is to drive the, president of the state university from the commonwealth. He prob ably will succeed, but it won't be 10 the advantage of the state uni versity or, the state. Public opinion it appears, is entirely with Suzzal- 10, but it is powerless to stay the hand of the embittered governor.
 The incident illustrates the in herent weaknesses of state univer- sites. A university is, or ought to be. too important an institution to be subject to the whims of office holders.

OFFICIOUS CENSORING

Whether the Pillar of Fire or ganization at Zarepath, N. J., is- sues a magazine that is worth buying is not for the chief of po- lice here or anywhere else to de- termine. The police department is not a censorship department.
 And 1t is nobody's business 10 attempt to restrict welfare work to any particular welfare organiza- tions. This is supposed to be a free country, and anybody is privileged to give his money to any kind of welfare work he prefers. This is also a free city, and any citizen is privileged to withhold his contribu- ton from any particular welfare work. It most certainly is not the business of the police chief to at tempt to tell citizens what they should buy or what they should not buy in so-called welfare maga- zines.
 It has come to a ridiculous pass if any functionary of the city thinks he is justified in curtailing welfare contributions to any one organization or set of organiza- tions,
 The Pillar of Fire may be en- tirely worthless, or it may be worth while. That isn't the point at issue. The public can judge of these qualities perhaps better than any officials.
 Welfare work to which contribu- tions are made in this city is not confined to the community chest. Numerous other organizations, in- cluding churches, do welfare work elsewhere and expend much money in this way. They don't ask per mission of the chief of police or any other public official. The Pil- lar of Fire, whatever 1t is, has the same privilege - or ought to have.

STIRRING UP BRISTOL

The war veterans of Bristol are bestiring themselves in an effort 10 have a greater voice in the city's affairs, which will do no harm to Bristol. The more people taking a vital interest in civic affairs the better it Is for the city. The Amer ican Legion has been identified with bringing out the vote cam paign. and the decision of the Bristol war veterans is entirely in line with this species of good citi- zenship. More interest in civic af- fairs means less resistance 10 the voting privilege. An observer the other day said that the true reason why only 50 per cent of the peo- pie vote Is because half of them don't want to vote, that they don't want to be bothered. If this is true, 1t is terrible indictment of democracy Whetting the interest in civic, state and national affairs is one sure method of increasing the percentage of actual voters at elections.

RITCHIE AND BINGHAM
 ON STATES RIGHTS

Down in the Maryland Free State" the Republican state con- vention made a sharp attack upon Governor Ritchie's states rights policy. The Republican party in convention assembled said the gov ernor's exaggerated emphasis upon states rights created deplorable atmosphere of antagonism between the state and federal governments.
 If the Republicans in a con- spicuously wet state like Maryland - the home of Ritchie, Hill and Weller see fit to find fault with the governor over his emphasis upon states rights. the Republi- cans in a conspicuously wet state like Connecticut have every reason to feel the same way toward Sen ator Hiram Bingham.
 For the states rights of Ritchie and the states rights of Bingham differ not in the slightest. The pub lie utterances of Ritchie, the Democrat, and Bingham, the Re publican, on states rights sound as if they had conferred on the sub ject beforehand.
 Ritchie is the more sincere of the two, however; for Ritchie is Democrat and is enunciating long standing Democratic doctrine when he settles upon states rights as worthy of discussion, while Bing ham, a Republican, should logical ly be aligned with federal central ization. His party is, anyway, re- gardless of what he says in Con necticut for state consumption.

RED CROSS AND FLORIDA

Reyerberations of the dispute between the Red Cross organiza- ton and the realty interests In Florida seem destined to continue until the latter are out of breath. The public can scarcely do other wise than to agree with the Red Cross director, who has given CO., gent reasons why the land dealers and tourist hotel interests wished to minimize the effects of the re- cent hurricane.
 The Red Cross is impartial; the landed aristocracy of Florida is not. The attempt of the Florida land dealers 10 defeat the relief drive in the face of 1S,00o home less people was one of the most heartless and thoughtless things done in the history of American commonwealths The American public outside of Florida has had little reason to think highly of the tourist gougers and money changers in that alleged paradise, and will think less of them in the future.

BRITISH OFFICIALS
 GO INTO MOVIES
Had Criticized Americans But
 Now They Succunb

London, Oct. LP-British off, cials who have been inclined to scoff at American officialdom for allowing itself to figure so extensively in the movies are gradually succumbing. British film companies are urging that everyone Great Britain must help the local firms in their battle against the world supremacy of American films.
 Winston Churchill, chancellor of the EXchequer, was one of the first members of the cabinet to place himself at the disposal of moving picture operators. He proved a good actor, but he absolutely refused to have his sandy eyebrows blackened and would not let the director make up his complexion.
 Premier Baldwin was so deliber- ate and responded to acting so re- luctantly that he proved an unsatis- factory subject. Walter Guinness, minister of agriculture, was a very natural subject before the camera and won the commendation of di- rectors and photographers.
 Sir Austin Chamberlain, the for eign secretary, has not. yet appeared in the movie studio, but newspaper humorists are prophesying as to how his very marked mannerisms and poses will appear on the screen. His monocle and suited manner make him closer approach to the tradi- tional Englishman of the American stage than any other prominent man in the present government.

o00,00o of decrease in debt in that period.
 He said that much of the public debt settlement had been with funds which would not hereafter be avail able, including returns from war surplus and capital investments made during the war.
 Of the debt reduction of s6,o00,- 100000 since the war, the secretary explained that IS per cent came from the general fund balance on hand at the end of the war and 3 F per cent from miscellaneous sources, neither of which will influence fu- ture debt reduction.
 "Of the remainder" he continued. "S5 per cent came from surplus, and half of this represented return of capital investments. Thirty per cent came from the sinking fund and 131s per cent from our foreign debtors"
 Adverting to suggestions in con- Eress that retirement of debt be ex- tended over 62 years, he said, this program would cost American tax payers s71.ooo,oO0.0o0, compared with s41,O0o,o 900 required by the e5-year program, as result of add ed interest charges.
 The secretary warned against con- gressional proposals for attending the sinking fund requirements, de- claring the government will need all this fund to meet $500. 100000 third liberty loan bonds which ma ture within two years.

IOVESICK DRIVERS

Over in England the law must be very light, or entirely non-eX- istont, concerning lovesick motor ists on the highways who pay more attention to the waist places than to the wheel. At least, one comes to this conclusion after reading the claim of physician who says they are more dangerous than drunken drivers. As it has become the custom to refer all other states and nations to Con- necticut for model laws, 1t might be worth while to give the English a chance to see how we handle our lovcsick drivers. We've got them trained so well that they don't take chances while they're driving, but have forced them to park their cars while doing their lovcmaking.

4 "LOVE ROMANCE" AT THE CROSS ROADS?

Edward l.. Browning, the 51-year old millionaire realty operator of New York, may be correct in say ing the separation between him. self and his girl wife, Peaches" Browning, is only temporary, and that she will be back with him within a short time. But he also may be, entirely wrong.
 Under ordinary circumstances 1t would have been nobody's business whom Browning married; but the fact that he took a school girl for his wife aroused wide public inter est. Perhaps in England, where a mans private life is his private business, more or less, there would not have been such unseemly pry- ing into the apparent reasons for the match. But we in this country are not deterred by such nnesSe or judgment The romance was a rich morsel for public curiosity. Millions of mothers throughout the country seemed to be of the impression that not much good would accrue, but were willing to wish the little girl all the happiness in the world.
 Now the match that began last April reaches it's final test. It may not be anybody's business, and Mir. Browning may have reason to be irritated, greatly at the newly aroused public curiosity, but the cynics seem to have the floor.
