AIDING UTILITIES

The National Security League.
quiescent for several years, has let
it be known that it has adopted 4
new platform. 1t is now in opposition
to government ownership or oper-
alton of railroads, telephones and
other public utilities.
Such ownership. the league claims,
is in conflict with the L. s. Constitu-
ton.
Government ownership of post.
highway, drainage and water supply,
long accepted and exercised as gov
ernmental functions are not in
cluded in the leagues opposition.
But the private ownership and
operation OF water power plants
comes within its scope. Muscle
Shoals and Boulder Dam are
specifically mentioned.
The effect upon the citizen of pub
lie ownership is declared to be as
follows:
Teaches him to look to the
government to provide for him.

WOODEN NUTAiEGS

Wooden nutmegs stories stu run
rampant throughout the land. They
form picturesque background for
Connecticut mythology and tickle
the risibilities of people even SO far
distant as Oregon.
That there are none to be had in
this state IL surprising. The former
Nutmeeger who tried in vain to
purchase a few to take home to his
friends In Oregon had to buy them
in New York.
The wooden nutmeg yarn, like tho
Salem withdrawing yarn. will never
die. That is because it is more fun
to be a conformist believer than q
cynical unbeliever.

CONNECTICuT'S CAMPAIGNING

In many states the local issues, or

nine times out Of ten the discussion
hinges upon the national election.
This is not entirely an admirable
situation. There are issues in the

impression they prefer to
