POWERFUL POLITICAL OFFICE

The Connecticut state legislature
probably is about to create a $1,000
commissionership and the man who
wins the appointment will be about
the most powerful political Office
holder in Connecticut" says the
Springfield Republican. He will be
called the commissioner Of finance
and control and the heads of most
departments and institutions in the
state will feel 1t advisable to main.
tain a good standing with him."

UP AND DOWN

One OF the stock arguments
among the newspaper boys in this
office is the relative danger OF fly
ing, or its lack of danger. When the
days grind Is over and there is
nothing else TO do but settle an
argument some one can make
good start for an half hours chin
Ginning by remarking that another
aviator was killed down in Texas,
thus again proving that the art Of
aviation Is fraught with as much
danger as jay-walking across Main
street.
The remark Is bound to bring
forth an indignant rejoinder-no
rejoinder. 1t being understood, is
ever anything less than indignant.
With waves Of the hands and rare
vocal explosiveness the partisans OF
safety in flying are Immediately
heard from. The fundamental bass
note OF the braying is that fewer
people are killed while airplaning
than while automobiling, not only
as per the total. but also relatively;
indeed. it will be calculated with
the finality Of an umpire, fewer
relatively are killed than pedes-
TRANS along any OF the main stems
Of our cities.
So the amusement OF the limo
cents continued a perfectly harm
less pastime, with nothing ever set
tied, but the stage always set, after
the disputants have lost their wind,
for 4 continuation OF the discus
sion at some future date.
The accident that happened to
Byrd and his companions Is sure to
start the argument all over again
from where it started. We invite the
public to Join. Is sky cruising as
safe as it ought to be or Is 1t still
one OF the most dangerous OF out
door sports? The issue cannot be
satisfactorily settled by newspaper
men with nothing to do until the
next story breaks; it must be set
tied by the public with more time
for such things. The statistics pro
and con are inspiring: the
propaganda pro and con even more
awe-inspiring than the statistics.
The newspapers. relentless in their
reflection of falling planes like
meteors from the sky. seem to be
OF assistance to one side OF the dis
putants: but the other side brings
forth reams of information about
planes that never drop.
or course. the editorial writer's
are expected to know everything
and in reality should be able to set
tie this argument off hand. But the
last time we tried 1t the army Of
dissenters was so large that nothing
appeared to be SO certain as that
success was not achieved. Governor
Trumbull, the champion airplane
booster OF Plainville himself could
not settle it. We give it up.

them, the governor did not press his
idea OF economy in this instance.
That accounts for the fact he ap-
pointed Colonel Charles II. Allen OF
Rockville to the commission. The
colonel is personal friend OF the
governor and will be able to keep
the executive well informed OF con-
ditions.
Thus another chance to save
money went by the board. Govern
ment by commission and bureaus
always means more salaries, more
plums. That's one OF the main
reasons for them.

THE CHANCE WAS MUTFTD

Governor Trumbull several
months ago allowed 1t to be known
he favored members of the state
tuberculosis commission serving
without salary. They get $2.500
each. and the job does not take up
much OF members time, coming
under the heading OF legislative
"plums"
Since Wallace s. Allis of Nor
witch resigned from the commission
q year ago the governor held up ap-
pointment OF successor in the
hope the legislature would agree to
the serving without pay idea. But 1t
didn't. Discovering the general atti-

the governor means just what he
says his past record Is a complete
criterion. He has taken the oath OF
Office 10 times. II he were unsafe
as a President he would be equally
unsafe as the governor OF New
York. No one in his senses has ever
suggested tina, he has been unsafe
as governor, as a member OF the
legislature, as New York alder
man. as a citizen. 1t Is merely when
the office O. President is mentioned
that prejudice by the unth!nking
has come to be bar. II won't be
a bar for long, is our view. For the
governors statement is so clear-cut,
so germane to the subject, that no
man or woman eager to be fair and
honorable toward the aspirations OF
a fellow citizen can do otherwise
than regard Smith as the high
grade American he is-an American
in office who has from the begin
ming put the interests OF the conf
mon people ahead OF every other
interest.
No one can point TO a single In
stance where. while holding Office
in New York. the present governor
has In the most remote sense per
mitted religion to color his deeds.
His assistant In the governing Of the
state, the man upon whom he leans
for more advice than any other be-
cause OF his long experience IN the
statehouse at Albany. is a 32d de-
gree Mason: nearly all OF his coun-
sellers in Albany are Protestants:
no religious faint has ever entered
into the deliberations Of Governor
Smith. He is the logical candidate
for the Democratic party a logical
aspirant TO the presidency, a man in
whom all citizens OF all creeds could
have full confidence.
The religious issue in American
politics should be forever swamped,
and the time to do it is now. A man
OF such universal popularity was
never before the people as a possible
candidate. The governor has with
one swoop swept away the cobwebs
OF bigotry: 1t is the bounden duty
OF all true citizens to forget he is
a Catholic and remember he Is an
American, bound . by American
laws, principles and the Constitu-
ton. He should be nominated by the
Democratic party as the party's
strongest and most popular candi-
date. He has better chance of
election than any other candidate.
1t is our belief that by the time the
next presidential campaign rolls
around religious prejudice and
bigotry will be at the lowest ebb in
the history OF the nation. Should
he be elected or should he fail Of
election there should be no ten
dency on the part OF Catholic or
Protestant 10 exult in or to resent
the result as a demonstration of
religious adherence or antipathy.

closed until the score stood l9-i7 in favor Of T0urtellnfta at the end of the half. A the end of the third quarter the score was twenty-five all and both teams fighting desperately furnished eight minutes of basket ball that will long be remembered by those who saw it. Putnam soon made t 3O-2G but TOurtellOtte came through with three baskets t0 take the lead Bove then started a rally and with able support soon changed the score to 36-3Z in favor of Put nam. With two and One-haf min utes Co go.. Condos slipped one past Elliott and Chubbuck soon added an- other to tie the score. With forty sec enda to go s. Marie, who has shot three fouls in two years dropped the ball cleanly through the net from the free throw line for the winning point. The diminutiye substitutes from Tourtellotte rose to the occasion in the last minutes of play and the loss of the regular players was not severe y felt
 The outstanding feature of the game. as in the game at Putnam, was the remarkable work of Bove, the Putnam High forward. He was near ly too much for the entire Tourtei- l0tte team and was ably assisted by his teammates who showed a high grade of team work. Coach Moves is to be congratulated on having such a clean. hard playing squad.
 Summary.
Putnam patriot., 1927-02-25

The absence of Lillian Fisher, who broke her arm in recent game, was, most probably, what kept Putnam from winning.
 The outstanding player for Putnam was Mabel Thompson at guard Ro- lande Cartier also did some very good work in the center.
