COOLIDGE AND THE SENATE

Senator LaFollette says Coolidge is fishing for third term in the west, but that "more than ten-gal- lon hats and milk fed words must win the people there" It is very unkind for young LaFollette" to talk so plainly.
 But after getting this out of his system. the Wisconsin senator allud- cd to . fact that has gone unnoticed more or less and which will have an important bearing on future leg islation. The President has had very little control of Congress and has been more of vetoer than lead CT, In the next Congress the presi- dent will be even worse off.
 "The first problem to be
 met" remarked the senator
 will be the organization of the
 Senate, which involves the is
 sue of seating Smith and Ware.
 If Ware and Smith are refused
 admission to the Senate, 1t will
 stand 46 Republicans, 47 Demo-
 crats and one Farmer-Labor-
 ite"
 Some of the Republicans were elected as Progressive Republicans and can be relied upon not to kow- tow to the administration. But the temptation will be great in admin istration circles to maintain a Re publican paper majority-and this can only be done by seating Ware and Smith.
 Will the Pre sident favor such a procedure after all the disclosures of how they were elected?
 Senator Bingham has already giv- en an indication of what the major- fly party thinks about Ware and Smith. The Connecticut senator fla yors permitting every state to send anyone they wish to the Senate This Is his idea of states rights; and in this instance Is mere camounage in order-te n-aintain q Republican paper majority ill the upper cham Der.
 And W. rather thinl, that PrcSi- dent Coolidge will favor the same plan. He may not do it openly, but two additional Republicans. no mat ter how the slush funds operated to get them there. count ill the totals. In Washington politics the totals are more important than how they got there
 The important public questions which will come before the next Congress. however, will be decided with the helr of d majority of Democrats and Progressive -Repub- iicans." Which means that the Reg ular Republicans will. not have a complete sway over government leg

POSTAL RECEIPTS

There must be some significance fin the fact that postal receipts in 50 of the larger cities showed an in- crease of S.35 per cent in June over the same month year ago. It must be that in an era of increased com petition-which the business diag- nosticans have told us has arrived the use of the mails naturally tends to increase.
 The first thing the average busi- ness executive thinks of when com petition thickens is to get the office force busy in writing to all agents, wholesalers, distributors and what not. Customers are not overlooked. Retailers are importuned 10 stock up: competing firms struggling for their patronage are heard from through a barrage of mail missiles.
 It is somewhat astonishing to learn that New Haven. with an in crease of 17.1S per cent, led all the cities. Business in the Elm city ap- pareptly is Icing stirred up as never before. It's hardware production center. too; or is the increase partly ~ In oti in, trying to increase its endowment fund-and its other funds' In spite of New Haven's increase. however 1t still lags behind Hartford as a mail center. Hartford is hard to beat in this respect-it has too many fair typists doing nothing all day but taking dictation.

RJNGHAM'S POLICY

Senator Hiram Bingham has ca bled Secretary of State Kellogg out lining his suggestions for an American policy in China"
 When the senator returns to America, probably in August or September, he will make personal report to President Coolidge"
 It is clear that the senator's im- portance has not decreased as a re- salt of his sojourn in China. Go- ing there on his own volition and as a means of spending vacation where most civilized people do not care 10 go, he has seen himself turn into a sort Of official observer. or informer. and hopes that the entire American policy toward China may be preiicated upon what he says.
 The senator has repeatedly de- clared his disbelief in bureaucratic government. He has reported to the department of State-a bureau Of the government-and has advised 1t what to do. He evidently does not take the Senate committee on for eign relations quite as seriously. If he reports anything to that hard boiled general staff of foreign re lations it will be interesting to note how seriously they take the in formation. As for the other scna- tors, they'll have 10 listen with due respect and appreciation and that is about all
 Senator Bingham as yet Is not running the country.

which would make the tire thief think twice before continuing in his line of business. In two towns in Connecticut at least, the judges have spoken eloquently.
 There are few more despicable practices than stealing tires of au- tomobiles. Under some circutn- stances. the victim is seriously in- convenienced to say nothing of the expense to which he Is put in re- placing his stolen property.
 Go to 1t, judges. A few jail gen- tences will have a more wholesome effect than anything else aginable. Let the tire thieves realize that they can expect no clemency.

THE, NCOOK CASE

The state las been arguing with the McCook family in Hartford over property at Crescent Beach for four years. The state wishes piece of the property for seaside sanatorium and condemnation pro- Cecdings have been sought. The case started with q great hullabaloo, and it looked as if the might of the state was irresistible. and that the McCooks could not possibly win their point.
 That was four years ago. Now compromise is said to be in sight
 Frank [. Healey as attorney gen. eral started the condemnation pro- ceedings, but the general assembly of 1925 passed resolution taking it the governor to appoint a special attorney 10 handle the case. This was the first victory for the Me Cooks, as subsequent events seem 10 indicate.
 Governor Trumbull appointed States Attorney Brown of Norwich, who has been conducting the con- promise plan. The McCook family is represented by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn.
 A few more states attorneys or states officials on the case doubtless would clinch the compromise.
 Rarely has the state been i'm mersed in 8 more long drawn-out litigation, If ever. The difficulty really started during the adminis- tration of Governor Templeton, when Major Anson T. McCook, who vas the governors secretary, is said to have obtained pledge from the state to abstain from obtaining fur ther land for the tuberculosis con- mission. Such an agreement, if it really existed, was disreeardod by the general assembly. In 1923 the legislature appropriated $lo5,000 for the purchase and erection of an ad- dition 10 the states adjoining prop erty. The legislature of 1925 appro- priated s%5,00o for the acquisition Of lanG, "by condemnation or other wise" The act of 1923 provided for taking 900 feet of the sandy shore: that of 1895 provided for taking 400 feet.
 The litigation has been one of private property rights versus the states right to procure sufficient property along the shore { 0 improve it's sanatorium. To the average per Son--it would seem that the states need to improve the sanatorium was a more important public function than any private right of prior own- ership. So long as the state was willing 10 pay fair price for the property it needs for the sanatori- um every interest could have been served by so doing. We find how ever, that the state has knucklcd down 10 the claims of the McCook interests for the land needed by tu- bercular patients under the care of the state. The states officials, instead of conforming the land needed, are willing 10 accept a compromise; which must moan. if anything, that the state will not ob- tain the land needed
 If the officials of the state are so anxious to avoid hurting the feel ing of prioi property owner on the

GETTING THE MONEY

One obtains very fair notion of the extent of the states business by glimpsing. the list of the five rev. enue sources just announced. Few private corporations deal in such large amounts as the state. Taxes due July 20. total more than s1o,- Voo, o,Oou. '.-,-,i .s .t. .....
 The taxing power of the state is being exercised par excellence. Very little has escaped attention. Public utility corporations. as usual, pay the largest total of taxes; and this is so everywhere. The significance in Connecticut. this year lies in the fact that' they arc to pay s157,0oO more than last year, which at least slightly reflects their increased pros perity.
 The taxes due this month by no means indicare the total collected from all sources: but only refer to five items. The total revenues last year. .amoHntel 10 more than s2S,- 100000. and they will increase this year. The biggest single tax income item. enjoyed by the state is from motor vehicle fees, which was con- siderably more than s5,00o,o0o last ye4has,,t< -
 fhe totaf 'trcoma Of the state in 1912 was only s5,615.41772. Thus in If years is has grown to more than five times as large, and when the next report is issued no donbt will have grown to six times the 1912 figures.

 Phone users are prone to wonder occasionally where in the world the Southern New England Telephone Co. gets operators of the type that seems to be prevalent in the New Britain office, at least. Literal ladies they are, as devoid of imagination as the modern girl is of clothes, and somehow they never seem to be listening when one of the subscribers is trying to ham, mer home a fact which he desires to impress. We have only our per- sonal experiences to guide us in an estimate of the number of perhaps trifle obscure cases which must | come up daily, wherein the lady with the voice (and only the voice, nothing above it) does nothing but add to the general melee in which we thrust ourselves in trying to use the phone without all facts, personal and impersonal, regarding the indi- v1dual with whom we wished to be connected at our finger tips. But the cases must be numerous indeed.
 The other day we attempted to be connected with an individual in Middletown. We knew he was af- fillated with several business or ganizations, but were not sure of all of them,-just one in fact. We called the office of that business-line busy. But he is not in the habit of being in that particular office a great part Of time, so we discontinued our eff fort in that direction. We called his home. No one answered, although Central rang madly. So we asked the operator to let us talk with the Middletown operator a minute in an effort to locate him at another office She said (not the Middletown one) I'll give you Information" Came a wait, then a hurried voice says to us Information" We took her at her word. We want to talk to MT. C. in Middletown. He is connected with such and such a business. We know that he has other business interests, but do not know what. He lives on such and such a street, but he is not at home. We just called him and no one answered" So said we. Petu- lantly the voice at the other end then exclaimed Well, what does he do-o-o." In our innocence we pro- ceeded to tell her he played tennis and rode horseback, gave his general description, approximate age, stated that he didn't drink and were pro- ceeding further when we discovered that Miss Information had hung up on us.
 And we'll bet she charged that call to the home when no one an- swered. |

Zero hour has not yet come for the regime of bobbed hair despite the determination on the part of some of the fair sex to allow their hair to grow and to do it up" again.
 Daily the barber shops are being crowded with women anxious to have their hair cut and it is believed that the predicted change by which the women were to have the long hair again will have to wait for a year or two more.
 According to one of the prominent barbers on Main street the tendency to let the hair grow has been popu- lar during the winter for the past few years, but with the first rays of heat the women flock to the ton- sorial establishments and once again bring their neck and sometimes their ears back into the sunshine and light
 This year the women seemed to be more determined than ever to let their hair grow. This appeared to be the case more with school teachers than with office and school girls. The school teacher is believed to be more conservative, and when the opportunity to have the long hair arrives they looked upon it with satisfaction.
 It is about five years ago since the woman came into the barber shop and to date they haven't really fitted into the surroundings as the men do. They usually come into the shop and if all the barbers are busy they sit on the end of the chair impatient for the time when their turn will come.
 If some man had a certain bar Der he wished to have work on him he would wait for him regardless and without any thought of whether the rest of the barbers would like it, but with a woman it is quite differ ent. She will be hopeful that that good looking barber will be fin- ished first" but if one of the other is through ahead of him she will go to his chair rather than hurt his feelings" This tendency is grad ually decreasing among the women of late and perhaps in years when women become part of the atmos- phere of the shop they will be as determined as the man.
 Another noticeable difference in the attitude of the men and women in the barber shop. is in the way they act toward others of their sex. A man will start conversation with another without any effort and probably before he is out he will be taking part in a kidding battle" a gainst the other. A woman never speaks to another In the shop unless of course she knows the other woman.
 The advent of the woman into the barber shop has made it one of the country's leading industries. It is said that if the women were not using the barber shop half the places in the city would be out of business.
