THE N lTERBI CAMPAIGN

Reference was made in these columns yesterday to the part play cd hv tho Republican statc machin" in the late political campaign in Waterbury which resulted in such q signal victory for Mayor Francis P. Gulfoile. who now becomes q four term mayor.
 The chief boast Of the state ma chine came through the pronounce mcnt of Tax Commissioner Blodgett. who came 10 bat ,arly-last August
 with q statement regarding the fi~ nmc,al condition or the fair metropolis of the Naugatrrk, He talked about inc rotten condition of inc bond market for Waterbury bonds. the slow work of reyaluating property, the unsatisfactory condi- ton of the grand list the lax tax collections, and what not. All Of which doubtless created some ex- citcment in Waterbury; but it seem ed that more voters preferred lax tax collections than 100 per cent efficiency.

administered, while those in control, whole or in part, by Democrats, are not so good. Waterbury. being en- tirely under the control of the bad Democrats, naturally is beyond even the saving grace of having honor able prospects,
 It would seem that Waterburians take the tax commissioners blasts with grains of salts, Perhaps they are too philosophical, or too politi- cal, to get angry enough to change the administration on basis of fi- nanCial claims. Or perhaps they turn an analytical eyebrow toward that other evidence Of state propa- tistics of the state department Of education. According 10 this enum- eration, the population of Water bury is only thousand or so greater than that of New Britain-whlch is one way of the state, il appears in Waterbury, to bclittle the import ance of the chief Democratic city. If there were any way for the state to prove-on paper-that the demo- cratic free city of the Naugatuck had as small a population as Plainvillc it would be done. Unfortunately there is no way for the state to prove that every Republican village is a metropolis,
 The campaign of hclittling Water bury has failed. The state machine
 will now be forced to attend to routine business, which partly con-
 sists Of propaganda as to the beauti
 ful way in which the Republican cities are administered. This Is a
 more grateful task, too, as in some i of these grand old party strongholds there are not enough able-bodied Democrats to utter effective denial.

League Hears Smashing Attack
 on Narcotic Drugs

Geneva, Switzerland. Oct. lPt- X smashing attack on the illicit nar- cotic and drug traffic and demand that the nations take action 10 check the growing evil vas deliver. e.d before the League of Nations ad- yisorv opium commission today by Colonel Arthur Woods, former New York city police commissioner who is now aa expert attached 10 the commission.
 Declaring that "thc death dealing traffic in dangerous drugs goes on without diminution" Colonel Woods said that limitation of the manufac- ture of drugs. firmly and honestly applied. would absolu' ely put an end to the acourge.
 He introduced q resolution stipu- lating that all factories manufac- turing narcotics be owned or ade- cuatcly controlled by the goyern- InentS.
 Colonel Woods quoted members Of the opium commission 10 show tho conviction of the narcotic experts that the evil seriously menaCes hu- manity. The traffic, he said was enormous in India. and the Egyp- tians were rapidly becoming q race of addicts.

erts so small?
 A. The small rainfall upon which the aridity of deserts de- bends may be due to the following causes: prevalence of dry winds; isola tion of mountain barriers along the borders: great distance from areas of evaporation or oceans.
 Q. How can I find the area of circle that is twelve feet in diameter
 A. By multiplying Pi (S.1416) by the square of the radius of the circle. Since the radius of the cir cle is feet the area can be found by multiplying 3.1416 by 6 by 6.

THE RENCH-AMEEICAN
 TARIFF WRt\GII,

Grief over the French attitude in tariff matters seems 10 be mixed with anger. President Coolidge. ro- nowned for his coolness, is said 10 be 8 bit warmed mp over the con- troversy; but the treasury depart ment, heretofore silent. has acted with vehemence. Duties on certain products cmanatiug in Trance have been raised, while some duties on products coming from Germany have been lowered.
 All of which ia done urder tho flexible provisions O tho I'orducy- McCumbor Tariff. Strange 10 say, however. the department denies the increase on French goods constitutes retaliation for alleged determination against American goods in France
 This unexpected action follows a statement by President CooliIg, that he deemed our late war asso- ciate "unfair." Frame, it was iusin- uatod. made favorable trade treaties with various nations, including the late foe, and now refuses to award similar treatment to the land of the Tanks, whence succor came in tho hour of need
 It is noticeable that the present French tariff dispute de- veloped shortly after the new French-German trade treaty went into effect. This treaty resulted from a mutual agreement between the two nations to stimulate trade be- tween them, and it was hailed as more proof that war-fecling has gone into the discard.
 4 government official has given the following reason for feeling az grieved over the new French duties:
