MILFORD, FRIDAY. JAN. %, 1927

THE DEMOCRATS in the Smith
contest for seat in the United
States Senate are in the position of
the man who having got the bear by
the tail, and anxious to let go, was
unable to figure out how he could
do it, successfully. In substantial
ton of this, one has only to remind
the reader that the principal Of
States rights has long been fun
-i.,ssental of Southern Democratic
State's rights is
E6fc4 gaS Civil War. Yet
his case the whirligig of fate has
feated a situation where Democrat
ic senators are foremost in a fight
to contest the right of the Governor
of a sovereign State to name a sue
cessor for a deceased senator.
It is wholly possible they may
succeed in barring Smith, but apart
from their departure from the fun
damentals of their political bellet'
the truth is Southern elections are
not any too pure and sweet. Even
as these political Galahads of the
South roll their eyes in despair ov-
er Northern election indiscretions
they cannot escape a feeling of un-
easiness over their own affairs.
There is probably no Democratic
Senator elected south of the Mason
and Dixon line whose right to sit
in the Senate cannot be questioned
on the grounds that on election day
full and free opportunity to vote
was not accorded to the citizens,
black and white, within their State
lines.

DEVELOPMENT AND WEALTH
do not come unassisted. 1t may be
Just around the corner, but some
other place will entice it away un-
less it is gone after. 1t is going
somewhere and should come to Mil
ford.
A town must be made attractive
to both people and capital before 1t
can be successfully developed. Parks
and Fairgrounds, entertainments for
diversion of mind, and the best in
churchesand schools. Opportunities
presented such as exceptional mus
ical attraction should not be over
looked. Natural attractions must be
augmented and as long as a town
is content to remain idle while far
less advantageous places work, de-
velopment and prosperity will ever
be just around the corner or little
further away.
A better understanding ana ap-
probation of the worth to the in
dividual is necessary. With the real
ization that the towns growth and
development means Individual
growth and development, and more
and better opportunities for their
children, then will there be greater
cooperation. It is difficult to i'm
press too strongly the importance of
the work that is necessary to be
done.

Savings Accounts

The last few years have the savings in the
United States mount more rapidly than ever be-
FORE despite the fact that the period has
brought prosperity that has enabled the average
person to- spend more freely for Injuries and COM
forts and despite the growth of installment buy
ing system that supposed to deplete every saw
ings account in the nation
The popularity of the savings account is justi-
fled. 1t is good way to money and have
it readily available while yet earning money for

salary, to have some money tout interest" and
thus lay the foundations of future prosperity.
At the present time nearly 100000 persons
have savings accounts, which, for all types of banks
aggregate $24696, 1872 ,O0o or s2ll for every man,
woman and child in the country. This is splen-
did condition, may easily be seen.
And this sum, of course, does not include any
money in checking accounts, which, though very
convenient, do not exercise the beneficial
habit forming influence as do the savings accounts
The increase in the latter is very encouraging as
reflectng the increasing habit Of thrift throughout
the nation.

Cures For Cancer

So many cures for cancer are being announced
that it is high time that people were thoroughly
warned against any and all of them until some of
them have had the proper tests to make sure of
their efficacy. Anyone announce a cure and

son does not even have to be physician Yet it
is only the course of reason to insist that before
the cure is extensively tried that the judgmen.

but the result produced, DEATH is worse many times

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. O.--Somewhere
Just upstairs is. death! From the
inside of an open stairway wind
whipped streamerr Of crepe slaps a
black end out into the typical Man
haitian sidewalk throng as it bustles
along Eighth avenue.
There is not even a door on which
to place the crepe. 1t cannot be
hung outside the doorway because
of the signs. There is a printers
sign and poolroom sign and a cof-
fee shop sign one above the other.
So the crepe had to be placed just
above the first step Of the stairway.
Overhead there is q huge electric
sign of print shop and poolroom. On
one side of the open stairway is u
bar-ral restaurant, on the other a
dingy coffee shop. On the second
floor are the huge windows of the
print shop. And on the two top
floors are transient rooms.

dirt of the street have coated them

France Fears Invasion

France is fearful of invason--but by peaceful
pleasure cars and not by armored trucks and cater
pillar tractors. And it is an invasion Of American
taken fer granted that the American manufacture,
will very start intensive cultivation of the
market they have stimulated in France.
What will happen then, they ask? Will the man
ufacturers of light French continue to do bust
ness: Will they have to expand enormously to
take advantage of the economies of large produc-
ton? Will the very high tariff wall erected
against the American product keep them out?
The French would like very much to know the
answers to all these questions. The sharpest COM
petition in France is in the field of small cars
small in wheebase and small in displacement If
the French find it hard enough to make good profits
with the field to themselves, then what would hap
pen if the American manufacturers really entered
the territory with both feet?
The appearance in the American market Of light
cars CT the French type has been the signal for
this alarm. Of late, within the last year, several
of these little models, in both four and six cylinder
cars have made their appearance and have demon
strated their possibilities in America. This has led
TO increased production these MODELS with con-
sequent decrease in unit cost to the point where
several Of the manufacturers arc really considering
very strongly an exceedingly active invasion Of
France with truly French type cars, although with
enough more power to attract the Frenchman who
is just little disappointed with his tiny model that
will do all right the straight away, but is very
weak on the grades.
