for the onerous task after the death
Of LaFollette, but declined with
thanks, Small wonder, too. that the
American Federation : OF Labor in
1925 decided to quit playing with
third party, There is no way OF win
ming the game, or of making a good
showing in it, while the boys play
with the present deck OF cards.
Another reason for lack OF lead
ershlp in a third party movement
this year is the fact that six progress
eive members of the Senate have 10
stand for reelection. They would be
foolish il they did so by pinning their
faith in a third party label. They
would get defeated if they did so.
These senators are Frazier Howell,
johnson, Robert NJ. LaFollette, Jr..
shipstead-Farmer-Laborlte - and
Wheeler. OF these only Shipstead is
likely to go in for third party, pro-
vided the Farmer-Labor party still
carries on in his state. These men
number half the progressive group
in the Senate, four others Of which
come up for reelection IN 1880. They
are not looking around for a third
party.
Senator Norris himself has had
the experience of Being read out OF
the Republican party, hut that didn't
mean anything. He crawled back
into it and that satisfied the Pc
culiar Republicans dominating
Nebraska.
In the south there is talk OF let
ting the anti-Smith faction run to
seed through the medium Of thru
party Of some sort, which would
rally around the banner o, prohibit
ton and nti-Tammany This would
be a good scheme for the Demo-
cratic party. It at least would pre-
vent members of such a faction from
voting the Republican ticket and
would not subtract enough votes
from the Democratic party to en-
danger II. Such a party, it has been
suggested. could do no better than
nominate Senator Helm for the
presidency He would get no closer
to the White House than he will get
without such nomination, but II
would give he faction an opportunity
to look busy between now and No
venber and then forget all, about
II after the election.

WHY NOT REDUCE RATES?

Railroad managers must suffer
from heart trouble whenever they
note the literature issued by vaca-
ton motor coach lines. They go
where the trains don't go and they
grow more numerous every summer.
The business of getting hold of the
dollars Of vacation tourists has been
developed to astounding proportions
and it is question whether the rail
lines are holding their own. One can
now cross the continent by motor
coach. stop at the best hotels and see
more than when going by rail, The
trip is also devoid OF smoke, clnders
and is cooler, But the trains retain
the advantage of speed and for any
one lacking the necessary time for
motor coach travelling they serve
their erstwhile purpose of being able
to transport travellers to their dest1-
nation in a hurry.
In one respect, however, the rail-
road passenger business is gaining at
least slightly. Conductors on the
New Haven branch line running
from New York to Boston through
Waterbury and this city report that
the passenger traffic has picked up
for no other reason than that own
crs of private automobiles are be-
ginning 10 dislike road congestion
for long trips and prefer to use their
cars only for short trips. Many an
auto owner who used to think little
about driving from New York to
Boston and return for a business
trip is said to dislike the ordeal of
lodging traffic along the main high
ways
But the railroads could do even
better with their passenger business
if they cared to reduce fares. These
are about what they were since the
war. and in some cases are higher.
The other day citizen went to
the railroad station and asked the
price of a ticket to Niagara Falls.
wishing to spend a few days there
for a eek-end and return perhaps
without losing more than a days
work. He learned the fare was be
tween SIS and SIT, He decided 1t
would be easier and more satisfac-
tory TO use an automobile even
though he disliked to drive long
distance along coneested highways.
Freight rates have been reduced
somewhat since the war. Passenger
rates remain as high as they ever
were The railroads may not be MAX
ing much money from passengers
if what they claim is true They
could get more passengers if they
went about it the right way.

rE METROPOLITAN AREA

The metropolitan area" that the
noble city OF Hartford has arrogated
unto itself appears to take in every
thing In central Connecticut. For
size It has the metropolitan area OF
New York or Boston looking like
marbles in the Yale bowl.
OF course. II includes New Britain.
This city is only a spot in the great
metropolitan area Of Hartford. In
deed. going south the area takes in
Meriden; and OF course also Middle
town.
For some reason the metropolitan
srea Of Hartford doesn't include
New Haven. but perhaps this was
an oversight and may be rectified in
future editions OF the metropolitan
area map. Waterbury also is not In
cluded this city probably being
ignored because of its wickedness.
North the area goes all the way to
CRANKY and Sufield, inclusive.
Northwest it runs to Winsted and
Winchester, inclusive.
East It traverees Ellington, Rock
Vile and Bolton, inclusive. For some
reason the vast area doesn't 90 east
as far as it goes west.
or course. on the western border
of the area, Bristol is included. Also
Burlington and New Hartford
In manufa curing metropolitan
areas any city has unlimited priv
lesAe. When the New Britain Cha M
her Of Commerce gets TO the point
of producing metropolitan area
why not make a complete lob OF i
and include the entire map OF Con-
necticut? This would be economical
There would be no expense attached
TO providing extra maps.
