EXTRACTS FROM THE STATEMENT OF THE

], away Tn the southwestern portion is so far away from the state cap ital that 1t considers itself scarcely interested in the doings back east In the state.
 The list could continue indefinite ly. as the valedictorian would say. Connecticut has every reason to feel satisfied over its unity in all important matters. We do think too much attention to road work down around Fairfield county is being given. at the expense of other sec tions of the state. especially in Hartford county and most especially around New Britain; but that is as far as we care to go at this writing.

OUR WOMEN LEGISLATORS

Governor Trumbulls recent com pliment to the women members ol the Legislature. which was to the effect that they. took their duties more seriously than the men legis- lators. has pleased the women oi
 the state nightly. Its truth Is un- deniable. The women legislators
 were more independent in their
 attitude toward the powers-that-be than the men, and there are some
 observers who believe that the state
 would be better served by having nothing but women legislators. There is another side to the ques-
 ton, however, and tRt includes the
 element of novelty. Women legisla- tors are newer at the game and
 have not had sufficient time to fall
 into the political weaknesses of the
 men. Perhaps they never will. but
 no one knows at this time whether the time ever will come when they will change their style. Their num- Der in the legislature is not large enough to make much difference to the organization, and they can be suffered to lend objection as well as color to the proceedings. If suf- ficient of them get elected, however, to form a powerful feminine bloc the organization would have to adopt the most conciliatory of tao tics to gain their support. So far several of the women leaders have been the most outspoken legislators we have. doing themselves and their sex much credit. The more in- dependence in thought there is in the Legislature the better we like it: which is just another way of say lHS IlldI hoillCh aSpti ACA legislative honors are to be en- couraged. The rights of all the peo- pie, including the mere males will be in good hands when sufficient numbers of the fair sex get on the job in Hartford.
 The governor even was of the opinion that some day the state might have woman governor. Ma" Ferguson of Texas, the late governor of the Lone Star State, was not glowing example; but no doubt she was an exception to the prevailing mood of fair femininity. Governor Ross of Wyoming made a much better showing. If the gov ernor's belief ever comes true in this state we rather think 1t will be a woman governor of that type. That's the kind of woman we dote on.

ERA OF DISAPPOINTMENT

It comes natural to postpone im- portant public improvements in New Britain at this time. Anything that costs money Is postponed. and any thing that doesn't cost money is not thought of. We are in the position of a man who intends to buy a new and more expensive car. but post pones the event until the next sea- son. or perhaps the season after next, consolins himself that the old bus will have to do.
 It was not surprising to learn that the frequently suggested. con- templated and anticipated widening of Main street, north of the famous railroad crossing, will have to wait another year" In coming to this decision, the city is running true to present form. Procrastination fits well with economy.
 The same thing holds good with the Monroe street extension, which is being blocked by citizens who want too much for their property, although the city, if it had the pro- per zip, could very easily start suf- iicient condemnation proceedings to get all the property 1t needs for the improvement.
 The same thing holds good for the proposed extension of East Main street to Washington street. A good idea, everyone says. but it will have to wait.
 Thank goodness there has been no delay in the construction of needed additional school buildings. When the school committee realizes public need it goes right to work and provides it.

ATTACKS ON ZONING

Wherever zontng has been insti- tuted about the first thing that hap pened was an attempt to break down the law, either directly or in- directly. Had 1t not been for the courts, which universally upheld the
 zoning principle, the scheme to regulate construction in this fash-
 ion would have landed on the rocks
 long ago. In most cities where at-
 tempts were made to smash the zoning regulations lack of success
 has attended these efforts through
 the decisions of courts willing to recognize the police powers of
 municipalities to regulate building projects.
 In Hartford, however. it remained for the mayor to be the stalwart
 proponent of the zoning system.
 while the common council gave evidence of being shaky on the method. The mayor of the state capital did his fellow-citizens a good service through his pro-
 nounced attitude in favor of law and order in building operations, the important of which is already freely appreciated. His veto of a
 plan to vitiate the purposes of the law was eminently wholesome in its effect.
 Attacks on the zoning principle are growing less and less. The dis position of municipalities where zoning has been adopted to act
 reasonable in the application of the principle, the recognition of a twi- light zone in which changes would always be likely as cities developed, and the disposition 10 make such laws reasonably flexible rather than adamant, have done much to make such laws generally acceptable. The majority of citizens in these munich palities have shown good sports manship, too, most of them yielding their own special interests to the needs and necessities of the ma
 iority.
 The zoning laws have come to stay and each year sees more cities 1 adopting them. The pioneer cities,
 which went through the travail of
 adopting a new idea for the public good. did their work well. The time is not far distant when every
 city of importance throughout the
 nation will have adopted this mod . ern system of building for the best
 interest Of the future as well as for the present.

25 Tears Ago Today

The new sewer will make consid- erable bother for the trolley com pany, as it will have to shift its tracks temporarily while the pipes are being put in; on West Main street the tracks will be lifted from the center to one side. Many peo- pie have been apprehensive that the eXcavating in the streets will cause great deal of illness. Chairman Clark of the health board said it might cause some malaria but not an epidemic. Main street people, however. are not pleased with the prospect.
 Last evening Mrs. Dana l.. Vib- berts invited a few of her friends in to meet Miss Adalene Wheeler of Los Angeles, Cal, who is her guest. Miss Wheeler is fine elocutionist and delighted her audience. On June 10 she will recite in Walling- ford, accompanied by Mrs. Brooks, who formerly sang in the South church choir. Fred and George Latham were in the party and ren- dered several fine solos and duets.

SMITH, TAMMANY AND THE OPPOSITION

The Women's Christian Temper ance Union, which is said to have 60o,0o0 dues-paying members, has started early in opposing the sug- gesttor that Governor Smith of New York be the Democratic candidate. The w. T. C. U. is particularly strongly organized in the south and the watchword of the society is that no wet and no Tammany man must be allowed to be the Democratic presidential candidate.
 Considering that two state pres idents of the ". T. C. U.-in Ten nessee and Georgia-were delegates to the Democratic convention in 1924 and that the solid votes of Tennessee and Georgia were cast for McAdoo up to the tooth ballot. the opposition of the w. c. T. L.. may be deemed significant. It is equally significant, however, that opposition to the New York gov ernor is not taken on religious grounds: religious opposition has simmered down to very little since the governors apt reply to the let ter of Charles C. Marshall.
 This opposition will have It's cul- mination in the Democratic con- vention. It Is doubtful whether eith- CT the w. c. T. U. or any other similar organization will continue its opposition in the south should the governor really succeeding gain- ing the nomination. And if so, it is doubtful whether defections in the Democratic ranks In the south would balance the gain attending the Democratic party in New York, which with Governor Smith as the Democratic candidate. is almost cer- tain to give it's 4S electoral votes to his party. It must not be overlook cd that these 4s elecoral votes ex- ceed the total of all states west of the Rocky mountains.
 It can be concluded therefore that the vote of New York may be de- cisive in the next presidential cleo ton. New York voted on the losing side in only four elections during the last century; and during the first quarter of the present century it voted only once on the losing side-for Hughes in 1916. In the event of a close election-as every- one expects with Governor Smith as the candidate-the way New York goes will be even more important than usual every four years.
 New York has been carried by a Democratic presidential candidate only once since 1892. It Is a mis- take to think that because New York. City usually goes Democratic that the state can be counted Demo-
New Britain herald., 1927-05-18

cratic in presidential elections. Th'
 state usually goes Democratic dur. ing the off-years. Its adhesion te Republican presidential candidatei
 has been . sterling factor in the success of the Republican party during presidential elections.
 With Governor Smith as the can
 didate 1t is logical to assume that the state will not desert him when the ballots arc counted. Coolidge carried New York: there Is no req son to think he could carry 1t against Smith.
 In New York the Democratic party's strength is said to center around Tammany. This organization, it may be confessed. is not we'll liked in the hinterland. Wasn't it the smooth-tongued Bryan who at the Baltimore convention swung the convention away from Champ Clark, who was supposed to be supported by Tammany. to Wood- row Wilson, who was not supported by Tammany? And the most per- suasive argument the commoner used was that a y-support- ed candidate must not be nom- mated.
 The opposition to Tammany brings a problem to Governor Smith which remains a hard nut to crack. He might gain support in the him. terlands-particularly the south - by renouncing Tammany. This might aid him in obtaining the nomination, but would injure him in carrying New York after being nominated.
 Of course, the governor will do no such thing. He has ever been a man of courage and convictions, and just as long as Tammany does not control him nor counteract his policies with schemes of Its own, 1t can so along on the Smith bandwagon.
 The governor, as things stand to- day, is above Tammany. The in- fluence of that organization may still be great, but there Is no deny- ing that the name and repute of the New York governor has gone far beyond the confines of Tam many itself. What Smith says goes; and the attitude of Tammany is more one of admiration, esteem and loyalty than one of ownership.
 This is the political sales talk that the southern delegates need. If 1t could sink into their heads that New York and Tammany - not New York without Tammany - means more to the success of the Democratic party than academical regarding the influence of the ancient society of politicians. then it might see its way clearer for adhesion to the strongest po- tential candidate it has owned In generation.

CONNECTICUTS SPIRIT OF COOPERATION

This being a small state has some advantages that are easily overlook ed. There Is a wholesome lack of sectional jealousies between portions of the state. such as manifests it. self in the larger states. Connecti- cut acts as a whole, generally thinks as a whole. and what is deemed wise for one section of the state generally meets with the ap- proval of other sections. The com mon interest Is really common, no. figure of speech.
 There may be some inter-city jealousy; but this is something else again." Hartford and New Haven have points about which they are prone to argue; Bridgeport can boast of its advantages and thus stir up latent ire In Hartford, New Haven and perhaps even in Water- bury. Willimantic, in the east por- ton, holds quite aloof from such peurile augmentation and Is not frequently heard from. New Britain knows it's oats and needs no grand motherly advice from the remain der of the community brethren. And thus we sit, pretty and polite.
 Consider the situation in Massa chusetts. Will the day ever come when western Massachusetts is en- tirely satisfied with the dominance of the eastern part Of the state; or is the time night when the eastern part of the state will regard , the western portion as anything more important than nice garden for summer automobile riding a..d lit- tie else? Hardly.
 Consider the dolorous situation in New York state. Upstate is a by word for the typical New Yorker; while upstate conversation most readily hinges around the wicked ness of the metropolis in trying to run things. What love is lost be- tween them goes to the canaries.
 In the west the situation is even worse. There is no community of interest at all between down-state Illinois and the Chicago district. h. deed. Chicago is strongly for form ing itself into another state. If that can be done. Hatred between the two sections is the only fitting word.
 The same In Ohio, in Indiana. The northern section of Ohio dislikes the southern districts; the central portion has an abounding distaste for all the other sections. In In diana the northern section has been sore enough at times to favor the forming of a new state out Of the northern counties.
 Perhaps even Texas, with its ex- pansive terrain, has its sectional rivalries, in spite of the general mo- ton that all parts of Texas are pretty much the same. The Pan- handle oil districts just can't play marbles with the rest Of the com monwealth, while Fl Paso, tucked
