THE BLIZZARD RECORD

Those citizens in the hinterland who still regard New England as a cold and dreary place in winter have had another opportunity to check up on the record. A week or so ago there was huge blizzard in the mountain states. it's severity being matched by its suddenness. This week there is another blizzard in the west. So far there has been no bliz- gard or anything remotely approach ing one in the entire New England states. Instead, we have had quite ideal weather.
 But maybe our western cousins are too busy digging themselves out of the snow or trying 10 keep warm to pay much attention to New England weather just now. We'll do it for them.

ENFORCING THE LAW

Mrs. Mary Walker Willebrandt. in one of her moments Of political soothsaying. says that Herbert Hoover if elected will find way to enforce the prohibition law.

 We are reminded, however, that several years ago General Lincoln A. Andrews stepped forward with a prodigious determination to enforce the law. He also had confidence: but the bootlesgers, rum runners and the liquor traffic generally had more skill.

DlSENFRANCHlSED WASHINGTON

The District of Columbia is in q class by itself in more ways than one. Residents of the district. unless they retain their legal residences elsewhere. cannot vote. They are American citizens in every other respect. But when a national election ro1s around all they can do is to watch the returns.
 The idea of course was to prevent employees of the government from having q say in the business of the government; to prevent the develop ment of . political machine under the dome of the capitol. From early times it appears, it was believed probable that most of the citizens of the District would gain their sustenance directly from the govern- ment. Their influence in the boss business, if allowed to vote, was re- garded az entirely too likely to lead to irritation: so they were not al- lowed to get the franchise.
 Keeping the office holders in their place results in rather a peculiar situation. The District is not large and thousands of federal office hold. CTS now live in suburbs of Washing. ton across the District line. They live in Maryland, and hence are allowed to vote: or they live over the rivel in Virginia, and can also vote. Onl, those who insist in Hing downtown in the District cannot vote.
 It so happens, however. that onl, l a part of the citizens of the District are employed directly by the govern ment. Yet the other citizens-tht merchants. professional classes, and their thousands of employes-like 1 wise are inhibited from voting. Tn, affairs of the District are conducted by 6 commission appointed b, Congress, too, and there is reall, 1 nothing in the national or federa ! government that District citizen. need to bother about.
 Small wonder that the District O Columbia is sufficiently incensed tt stage a humiliation day" on Novem Der 6. It is to call the attention of tn, remainder of the country to tn, i Districts plight. The only difficult, seems to be that the nation will b, too much occupied on that day tt take particular notice of the Dis trict's mourning day. It ought to b, | held the following day.

PERSONALITY PILLS

With 14,000,000 names added to the nations voting list-the increase being 200.OOO in Connecticut-politi- cal managers are somewhat non- plused? It is self-evident that people are going to vote who never voted before. What caused them to drop apathy and adopt interest?
 For decades the get-out-the-vote propaganda has been intellectual. This year, without much such propa- ganda, the vote is coming out of it's own accord.
 The reason is that there is a colorful personality running for President. He is Al Smith. People are for or against him with a fervor unknown in this generation. The very fact that he is a political hero of the first water to millions causes other millions to rise up and pre- pare for the fray.
 Political platforms, issues and what not are essential. but strong personality such as Smiths tops them all. Voters are for or against Smith in this campaign. Many of them may have but q smattering of the issues that have been debated, but they can understand the mean ing and driving power of such an outstanding tribune of political progress such as Smith. If almost any other Democrat had been nominated to oppose Hoover the in- terest in the campaign would have been reading next week that only half the people voted. The huge registration is tribute to the poli- ticai i~power of the New York gov ernor. People laud him or they fea- him: those who favor him are un- stinting in their adulation; those who oppose him do so with unequal led ardor. People refer to the lead ing issues and to dozens of minor ones: but above all the issues is the issue of Smith. He is loved like the angel or he is damned like the devil: no public man can attain 10 greater heights. He is not only loved for the enemies he has made, but he

THE BOULEVARD SYSTEM

Police officials throughout Con- necticut now have been informed that they possess the inherent right to designate the boulevard system wherever they see fit. It would have been somewhat peculiar did they not possess this ritht and the attorney general merely confirmed something that everyone thought eminently proper.
 But the system has been gingerly accepted in Connecticut. The system has been discussed more than adopted.
 In practice, however, it already is uniformly with us along prominent streets. A motorist seeking to enter West Main street from side street, for instance, by law has certain rights about it. But let him try to be too insistent on his rights. Most oi them realize it is too late to argue about rights of way after the most pressing need is to telephone an un. dertaker. Consequently the speeder, along the thoroughfare get most oi the right of way-getting 1t without an argument and without a contest It is sel{-defense for an autoist wedding his way from a side street into West Main street, to prefer tc wait until there is a let-up in the stream of traffic. Thus 1t is prac. tically along all "boulevards' where the traffic is heavy.

CONTEMPORARY BIOGRAPHY

CONTEMPORARY BIOGRAPHY
 Additional proof that contem- porary biography Is apt to be propa- ganda rather than fact is to bs found in the current nine books purporting to give to anxious readers the life histories of Smith and Hoover. Each volume is elaborate. Their sales are running into tho millions. But when one investigates ono discovers buyers by the big lot-political organizations which use the books to help their candidates. This alone speaks quite loudly about the permanent value or lack of it-relating to this type of biography.
 silas Bent, who went to the trouble of evaluating these campaign books, gives a succinct appraisal in the Bookman:
 1.-The books serve a good purpose. of course. The public legend is as necessary to American politics as the polling booth-and should be ap- preached in the same spirit of cau- tious vigilance. If the legend isn't an encomium. the politicians or the statesman's press agents have fallen down on the job. Watch your step. therefore. through these books and to the polls"
 | .Propagandists in author form whom Bent mentions are: William Hard. Oswald Garrison Willard, VII. liam Allen White. Samuel Crowther. Norman Hapgood. Merry Moskowitz, and Thomas H. Dickenson.

A FAMOUS EDITORIAL

Charles Evans Hughes last night reached into the limbo of the past and brought forward once again an editorial which appeared in the New York World in 1890. At that time the World saw in Hoover something akin to an Apollo of achievement and in fervid phrases that glowed with con- viction pinned upon him the badge of true greatness. closing with the hope and belief that his leadership. character and genius of accomplish ment made of him . fit candidate for term in the White House.
 That was in 1920. The World since that time has changed its opinion. But such a change has not obliterat- ed the historic fact that the editorial saw print. And as the World ts forced to admit there is no law against its use in campaign in 1923. Deep must have been the chagrin in the World tower time and again dur ing this campaign to find its famous Hoover editorial considered an im- portant character reference by Re- publican speakers The climax came when Hughes last night used 1t in . coast-to-coast hook-up, doubtless eliciting smiles if not laughter in millions of homeA
 In 1920 Hoover was regarded as a Democrat. What the World had in mind was to groom him as Demo- cratic candidate for President. It no doubt felt 1t had to rub the laudation on bit thick to make an impress sion with the Democratic party. When Hoover later announced him. self a Republican the Worlds ardor naturally cooled quickly.
 It will be remembered that Gov- ernor Smith at Oklahoma City radio. ed to the country how fulsomely MT. Hughes had spoken of him at . meeting in New York. MT. Smith re- peated the Hughes encomium in Newark. This must be as painful to Mr. Hughes as MT. Hughes quota ! tion of the World editorial is to tho World. The count on quotations is now even.
