RORABACk FOR THE SENATE

It would be a good thing for the Democrats of Connecticut if J. Hen ry Roraback ran for the United States Senate. The Jeffersonites would have a better opportunity of putting one of their number in the Senate than since the days Of Wood row Wilson.
 Of course, even If the rumors should prove well founded and MT. Roraback actually decides to make an attempt to fly by the side of Hi- ram Bingham, he doubtless will re- tain his customary confidence to the end. Wasn't it Mir. Roraback who said some time ago that the state would go Republican by 75,c00 even should Al Smith be nominated? It is likely that he continues to basl1 in the sunshine Of this figuring and believes with all the fervor Of a pow er-politician that with himself rum ming for the Senate the people would simply swarm to the polls to show the world how much they think of their benefactor.
 Only bad feature IS that when Senator Mclean hears of this he may decide to run again and spoil everything.

 "The convention at Houston will at least have an opportunity to vote on that issue" he said.
 Smith is expected to make his first public appearance of the cam paign next week when the senate committee Investigating expendi- lures may go to Albany to hear him. Eight presidential candidates before the committee Monday to tell before the committee Mnday to tell of contributions and expenses. This group includes Hoover. Curtis of Kansas. Golf of West Virginia. Borah of Idaho. Norris of Nebraska, Reed of Missouri. George of Georgia and Hull of Tennessee.
 Walsh also is to be called to tell if he made any expenditures.
 Chairman Steiwer said the com- mittee was in doubt as to whether it had authority to subpoena the governor of any state. Hence it will go to Albany to hear Smith and to Annapolis, Md. to hear Governor Ritchie.
 Senator Watson is now in Indiana campaigning but will be called as soon as he returns. Former Gov. Lowden will be called later.

FLOOD CONTROL

Nothing can stop this session of Congress once it sets its heart on go- ing in particular direction. Missis- sippi flood control is complicated, but not too much sd for Congress to understand just what it proposes to do about it. especial as there is plenty of pork connected with it. (Pork means the expenditure of money for political purposes).

\ SPRING TONIC

The week has been one in which an epedemic Of illness attracted more attention than any local hap pcning, perhaps this because almost everyone had friends who were down with a cold" 4 situation that caused ten per cent of the per- sonnel in some institutions to be off duty naturally spelt much difficulty for those who tried to carry on min- us their aid Doctors and nurses professional and amateur-were ex- ceptionally busy, while the handlers Of medicine doubtless took stock Of the fact that Coolidge prosperity was not altogether a myth.
 It has begun to look, however. as if spring has actually made an ap- pearance. The wonderful improve ment the past few days in weather conditions has given us all heart. From now on we can expect with reason that the Florida article will continue, and it will do us more good than all the medicine we have been devourins the previous month or so.

OCEAN PLIERS DO
 NOT KEEP PRIZE
Give Their SlS,@0 Winnings to Aviation Fund

New York, May GR-Given the first material reward for their ocean flight. the German Irish crew of the Bremen dedicated its use to the pro- motion of aviation.
 Baron von Huenefeld, speaking for himself and his two companions. accepted a check for S12,500 from the Electrolux company of Sweden, offered for the first flight from Eu- rope to America and then gave it to Miss Herta Junkers as the repre- sentative of her father. Prof. Hugo Junkers, builder of the Bremen. to be used for further experimental tion and research in aviation"
 The baron's action, taken at a dinner given the fiiers by the donors of the prize, came as surprise and brought the representatives of 30 nations there assembled to their feet cheering.
 Prof. Junkers previously had been offered the prize by the donors as the conditions of the award said it was for the builder of the plane but had refused it saying it should go to the tiiers themselves. His daugh- ter said she believed her father would now accept it. Prof. Junkers is arriving in this country on Mon- day.
 The dinner ended a busy day for the fliers during which they attended q luncheon rendered them by the Advertising club and received John Mccormack. famous Irish tenor. Major Fitzmaurice delivered 10 the singer letter from Major General John Mckeon. quartermaster of the Irish Free State army. which he had carried with him in the flight from Ireland. Two small Irish flags Werc enclosed in the letter. Gen. Mckeon asking Mr. Mccormack to keep one and return the other.
 The fiers wives had a reStf,ll day with no official receptions. During the day they stayed in their hotel suite, only Patricia. the Irish com- mandant's 6-year-old daughter go- ing to Central Park to play wits a little girl of her own age. She said she had the best time of her trip. The women attended movie in the evening.
 Today the fliers will attend the horse racing at Jamaica and in the evening a dinner to the governor of Rome. Italy.

ent operating companies.


 A city which in spite of its flaii for dubious and devious politics could put through its extensive sub- way construction could easily have gone a step further and set up its own operating division.
 The city operates ferries, il has built vehicular tunnel and operates it, has built numerous monster bridges. has done a multitude of feats that are no whit less difficult than operating cars through sub- ways after they are built.
 The New York subway operating companies want the 7-cent fare and may get it, and this not because a profit cannot be obtained from the 5-cent fare on the subways, but be- cause the operating companies also operate deficit producing elevated and surface lines. which they do not want to relinquish.
 It is the same story one meets with everywhere-the big transpor- tation companies think it proper that the profit-making lines should be allowed to earn enough profit to carry the losing lines.

THE H.ACGEN BILL

President Coolidge cannot do otherwise than again veto the Me- Nary-Haugen bill when 1t is placed before him. Then, If Congress cares to pass it over the presidential veto --as it appears to have strength enough 10 do so at this session. Congress. and not the President, will suffer the blame.
 The claim that the bill has been pushed through Congress in an at- tempt to aid the presidential aspira- tions of MT. Dawes, who strongly fa- vors it. seeDls bit far-fetched. This would be a rather roundabout way of fighting Hoover. and not half as effective as winning few state pri- maries.
 If the McNary- Haugen bill be- comes law the cost of living will rise at least slightly. That it will succeed in lifting the price of farm products in the United States can scarcely be doubted. and that is the least that the farmers are worrying about. That. indeed. is something for the people in the cities and industrial ccnters. Some Of the other aspects of the law will be even more discon- certing There is the mark eting of the cotton surplus abroad. for in- stance. Tn. idea behind this IS to sell cotton in the domestic market at high price. and self the surplus abroad at q low price. The foreign cotton mills will get American cotton far cheaper than the American mills. and unless the duty on cotton goods is vastly increased. in all probability 1 will be able to ship the finished pro- duct to America and greatly injure the business of the American textile raised sufficiently 10 forestall this possibility, the cost Of cotton goods in America will follow the increased i price for the raw product.
 The prime object of the bill is to ''mak" the farmers prosperous" Maybe that end will be achieved. But others wont share in this wonderful prosperity; they will merely pay for The farmers prosperity.

SMITHS CHANCES
 MUCH IMPROVED WalSh's Withdrawal Streneth-
 ems New Yorker

Washington. May (UP) - The opposition to Gov. Alfred E. Smiths nomination has been materially set
 back by withdrawal of Senator
 Walsh of Montana in favor of
 Smith. according to the accepted view of party factions publicly and privately expressed here today. Senator Reed of Missouri will
 carry on his fight but primarily as he says-so that the Houston convention may have an opportunit
 of voting on his issue of anti-cor-
 ruption and pro-popular govern- ment.
 Senator Hefiin of Alabama still declines to concede Smiths nomi-
 nation. He says the opposition will
 rally around Gov. Vic Donahey of Ohio, who is not candidate and
 will not have his home state dele- gation.
 Walsh's Montana delegation will
 be thrown to Smith by the state
 convention there next Monday, and William c. McAdoo, Smiths old op-
 ponent, is expected to retire from
 any further efforts to prevent
 Smiths nomination though he has made no announcement yet. Walsh
 consulted McAdoo before issuing his withdrawal statement

THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City ana Its People

Head writing as practiced in American newspaper offices may be a fine art but the style would never answer the purposes of ordinary conversation. The object of head writer is to cram into the heading ali the salient features of the news story over which it is placed. The majority of newspapers forbid the use of the articles a, an and the in heads and insist that all information be given in the present tense. A head writer rushed home one to press and demanded to know why dinner wasn't ready. His wife re- piled:
 DINNER NOT READY
 BECAUSE OF BRIDGE In the paper next day appeared news story headed:
 HUNGER DRIVES MAN
 TO STRIKE HIS WIFE Then followed an account of the head writer's arrest.
 The evening editions carried the story of the hearing given him in police court under the headings:

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES The Republican campaign in 1924
 nded with surplus of $356,2G4, :. '. ua to the excellent management of Chairman Butler of Massachusetts. This surplus was an amazing con- tra st to the record of 1920, when un- der the management of Will Hays, Indiana political whirlwind and at present the movie czar. the national . committee had a deficit of $1,sOo,- boo-the largest in the history of American political parties.
 The Democratic campaign of 1924 ended with deficit of nearly se65,0o0. This deficit has been cleared and the Democrats have be- gun the present year with a nest egg Of $225,ooo.
 Congress has its eagle eye upon political expenditures this year. In the past few Years the public prints i,ave been entirely too full of the ex- cessiye use of money in politics, the record in Pennsylvania and Illinois being examples. Public attention has |. neen directed to the sources of the ! iurrds. and voters dent like some of he contributors. How the huge Re publican deficit of 1920 was made eup will never be known. as the late Fred Upham. treasurer, destroyed most of the records. This leaves room for the coils of suspicion. Since the days of Lincoln party managers have been running wilder and wilder with money. Best esti- mates of the outlays of the national party organizations during that early period show that the Lincoln cam paign cost only Sl00.Q00 for Lin ,oln and s50.Qo0 for Douglas. The , costs mounted steadily at each sue seeding election. until the limit was reached in 1896, during the Mckin- ioy-Bryan campaign. The most con- s,!rNative figures for this campaign fave 1t that s3, 5oo. .000 was spent on behalf Of Mckinley, and sG50,o ,ooo on behalf of Bryan. although the ac- tual expenditures probably were much greater. The tree-silver cam paign was the hieh-water mark in campaign expenditures. some csti mates running as high as Sl6, 6,56U.- 6oo for Mckinley The Democrats wer" badly handicapped in the cam paign because they lacked enough 0unds and the Bryan headquarters were forced practically to close down or lack Of funds during the last -r4ts have believed that Bryan would have won the election had the Democrats been better supplied with IfndS
