FOR WHAT PRACTICAL
PURPOSE?

President Coolidges message to l Congress yesterday was a very con- prehensive document, except for a few omissions referred to else where. Upon a multitude of subjects he had a deal to say-just as if the Congress he addressed could or would do something about it.
 Congress, however, is in the posi- tion of a firm which would like to handle all those topics but cannot do so at the present time; cant find the time; lacks the inclination.
 The Congress to which the mes sage was addressed is not the one which was elected last month. but the old Congress. And it automatic ally goes out of office on March 4, 1927. It's present session will be mainly devoted to passing appro- priations. and as some important riders are usually tackled to the, ap- propriation bills, nccessitating, or at least stimulating, much contention, it is unlikely that the present Con- gross will do thing more than talk money and taxes.
 All the fine points of the mes sage will be rather pointlcss under the circumstances. Addressed to the Congress that goes into power after March 4-either in extraordinary session called by the President. or next Dccember-thcy would mean something; would be something 10 shoot at.
 A lame duck Congress such as the present one simply means little of q constructive nature 10 the country. If the President docsI. mind he can prepare to deliver ,1" her broadcast later, when more Il undoubtedly will accrue.
 The fine effort, no@ CT. was not wasted so far os the country as q whole is concerned. The address really was intended 10 get under the cranium of the general public. The "op-g7U. iamc-duck Congress. which will he in session until March, Is LopeIesH

A GOOD MAN LEAVES SCENE OF TRlCMPHS

Senator William B. Mckinley was one of those princes among men who do not live for themselves alone, who believe great wealth is not meant merely for the accumulation of more wealth, who accepted the responsibilities Of wealth by at- tempting to do as much good for mankind as the opportunities af- forded.
 His career in Congress is quite well known; how he began his politi- cal career during the Roosevelt period, how he was a stalwart of the Republican party throughout num- erous campaigns, how he made him self unassailable for years in his bailiwick by being on friendly terms with thousands of voters. His cam- paigns originally were largely of the hand shaking variety; when running for Congress his forte was to visit the cities. towns, villages and farms and shake hands with all voters. This 'personal touch" made him popular with all classes, despite the fact that at that time he was the prime prompter, owner and what not of the Illinois Traction system.
 But the finest part of his nature came to the fore in comparatively recent years. His donation of ap- proximateIy SIP, 2,00O.OOO to private and public philanthropy was done in q quiet. efficient manner. It is 1. likely that the greater part of his fortune was given away long before the disease which laid him low threatened to end his colorful ca reer.
 Senator Mckinley was one of the ten senators who failed of re-elec- tion during the last campaign. How ever, he still was a member of the Congress in session at the present time.
 Senator Mckinley was one of the last generation and 1t can be said of him that throughout his long career in Washington his honor and integrity remained as unsullied as when he first "blundered," as he termed 1t. Into politics.

TWO OMISSIONS PAR EXCELLENCE

President Coolidge, in his message 10 Congress, had a deal 10 say aboul government business, as is custom ary in presidential messages.
 Two important issues however he entirely overlooked:
 The World Court and the Mexi- can situation.
 The last time he mentioned the World Court was at Kansas City when he said he would not attempt 10 induce the Senate to change the reservations if the World Court na- tons did not care for American entry under the circumstances.
 The Mexican situation has been referred to by the official spokes- man" number of times, in each case ameliorating the situation with the suavlty of soft words.
 To have remained quiet about the World Court and Mexico per haps was just as well. The Senate will do what 1t pleases about both.
 Yet one is contrained to be dIsap- pointed at the evident lack of lead ership.

LIFETIME OF MISERY

It is to be hoped that the public prints have printed the last about John l.. (Bum) Rodgers, notorious criminal who automatically was sen- fenced to life Imprisonment as a fourth offender under the New York Baumes law.
 When 1t is realized that Rodgers some years ago wa pardoned by Governor Smith as sora body who might reform himself If free 1t might be realized what mistakes are made in the name of good intentions.
 Rodgers was lucky to save his skin instead of ending in the electric chair. The new law worked 10 his advantage.

 A wisecrack that is all-inclusive.
 One would think that the obstre- porous automobile drivers would read about the collision corner with greater profit to themselves than to be taking chances of figuring in a smashup at this noted intersection. . The hospital is further away from this spot than from some others of a like nature in the city. There is no undertaken nearby. and the near est cemetery is miles away.

HEAT THAT DINKY

Complaints have come to the Herald that the new gasoline coach operating between New Britain and Berlin junction Is not a model Of warmth during cold weather, that the heating apparatus has a very limited area of effectiveness: and that cold blasts are more common in the coach than heat.
 Complaints are also made that the waiting room at the Berlin station is not properly heated dur ing cold weather.
 If the New Haven railroad wishes to keep the good will that has been engendered the past few years dur ing it's attempt 10 serve the public with more efficiency than a few years back it will do well to give earnest attention to the subject of heating.
