Under the direction of the tree
warden of the state highway COM
mission, Luther NJ. Keith, the Hart
ford Forestry Co. today started
operations on the trimming of trees
along Worthington ridge in cOnncc-
ton with the new state program
which takes the tree work on the
main arteries of the town out of
local hands and places it under the
jurisdiction of the state highway
commission with appropriations for
the work coming from that depart
ncnt.
The superintendent of the force at
work here today said that while the
town. as he understood the situation,
had appropriated 500 a year for
work on trees the state had already
expended $3.50 on work in Berlin.
He stated that in all the work he
had done in surrounding towns he
had never encountered such condi-
tons as those existing in Berlin,
vomiting out that the Old maple
trees which border each side Of
Worthngton ridge We're undoubted-
~ picturesque. they were also as
dangerous as they were beautiful.
The question of the state DISPOSE
ton of the old post office property
WIS settled definitely today by the
superintendent. He stated that he
had received official notice that the
corner at the intersection of Worth
ington ridge and Pennington avenue
would be made into a triangular
park and that shrubbery would be
planted at that place, the entire cost
to be borne by the state in connec-
ton with its new highway beautifi-
cation program under State High
way Commissioner Macdonald. He
prophesied that the spot would be
one of the show places of the town
when plans were completed and
stated that the proposed park would
correspond in beauty to the me-
mortal park on the other corner Of
the intersection.

Letting Down the Barriers.
(Cincinnati Enquirer. )

It is interesting to note some observations made by an Ontario paper, the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle, with reference to conditions since prohibition was repudiated in that Province oi Canada.
 Says the Gazette: "one Of the surprising fea- tures of the operation of the Lquor-Control Act is the comparatively small number CT permits sold up to the present The total is approxl- mately 260 900 out of population Of 3,00o,oOo people and it must be remembered that very large percentage of the permits sold were pur- chsed by tourists"
 The number of Ontario people who have shown a desire to take advantage of the privilege of legally buying liquor has been much less than was anticipated, following the heavy vote in favor of Government control, and therepy emphasizes the fact that thousands of electors who had no wish to drink liquor themselves sup ported that policy because they believed that It would bring about improved conditions. Ana the lesson to be taken is that it will pay those who appreciate the privilege of legal purchase to opey the law and insist upon it's enforcement
 To the radical prohibition proponents or the United States this is fallacous reasonable utter- ance They will not care that Ontario passed through the nightmare Of prohlbltion lormuia a' all they care about is to enforce upon ther neigh- bors their own conception of how people may he made good and law-abiding through force or legislative edict.
 All Canada got away from the prohibition obsession after unhappy experience, and statistes nroye that there is less of crime, poverty ana disrespeet for law in the Dominion than Ill many single commonwealths of the United States, stlil suffering under the oppressive curse ol all ui,- natural and intolerant constitutional ameho- ment and its supporting measure It well may be believed that the volume of crime plgotry' corruption and disrespect for law which mas at tended upon enforcement in the Unlted otates eventually will lead to amendment or repeai oi inc yolstead law because no nation could sur vive as a free sovereignty under the superlatNe tyranny of such a law, especially when that law tends to encourage an eccleslastlcai autocracy which does not stop even at defance oi the ue- efees of the highest Court in the land

Lawrence the Enigma.

CAN ELECT WITH F STATES.

It is possible for the Democrats in 1928 to elect President with the electoral vote of IT States, smaller number than was carried by Cleveland in 1884, when the electoral vote of 20 States placed him in the White House In 1892 Cleveland carried 23 States. and in 1916 it took 30 to give Woodrow Wilson his second term.
 While several States have been added since the first Cleveland victory, the Democrats could win by carrying border and Northern States in addition n the solid South. Arkansas, Alabama. Georgia. Florida Louisiana, Missis- sinpi North and South Carolina, Texas and Vir- tInla have total of 114 electoral votes. If to this Glae were added the votes of Illinois, Indi- ana Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio and New York aegfegat.ng 152. the total would be 266. a majority of one Of the whole electoral yote.
 There are other possible combinations or States, ill which the Democrats have strong hopes of success next year. that added to the solid South would insure victory. But there is no other combination in which so few States would be required.
