WHAT WE GET FOR S33

1t was high time that someone
with courage hit at the pretensions
of the state Republican machine
which is eternally footing the horn
of how great Connecticut 10 man
aged and how its good fortune COM
pares with that of the state of New
York.
And it is a satisfaction indeed to
note that Mrs. Nicholas Moseley OF
New Haven. daughter Of former
President Ha'iry of Yale. attended
to this necessary operation.
Governor Trumbull. vain with
figures. will find her comparative
statistics hard to answer. In fact. he
will do no such thing. The per CAPT.
ia cost of government in New York
is SIG; in Connecticut just twice as
much, or S3e, according to Mrs.
Mosclcy.
And for the $i6 New York Is get
ting approximately twice as much
as Connecticut is for the $32. again
according to Mrs. Moseley.
The figures sound convincing
One needs only to realize that Con-
necticut lacks long list OF the
publjc benefits that New York state
is enjoying to agree with Mrs
Moseley that the Republican admin
! istration in Connecticut Is not all II
has been cracked up TO be.
A woman has given the best state
rolitical speech so far Enumerated

Headaches are as old as the
world. and were formerly 'ooked
upon as a disease In themselves.
The only cure known In those Gays
was effected by surgical operation
or amputation of the head. and we
read of such famous men as John
the Baptist taking this treatment.
Today. after centuries of bad
liquor, jazz bands and street noises.
however, we know great deal
more about headaches than we did
then. We know that the headache
is not a disease in itself. but is
rature's method Of telling us that
something is wrong elscw here. The
morning headache Of the drunkar'l
may indicate that as he sobers up
lie will find his umbrella In he
bed, and discover that he has been
standing in the sink all night. The
headaches common to married wo-
men show that they are suffering
from a sink full Of dishes; while
farmers headaches ofttimes point
to a chronic condition known az
falling Of the mortgage.

temporary relief IL to drink coffee

period the national government.

THE "CON" OUT OF ECONOMY


We never thought 1t was the bus
tness OF the government to preach
economy from the house tops. II the
practice OF economy was 70 self
evident then 1t would not need the
ballyhoo. According TO the Sedalia
speech of Governor Smith there has
been too much ballyhoo and too lit
tie practice. II, however. it is pos
bible to get laugh out Of some OF
the alleged savings some good may
have been accomplished. II the
laughs come high they at least aid
.he digestion.
1t appears that Mr.. Smith has been
delving into the L. S. Treasury re-
ports. Naturally Mr.. Smith chuckled.
There was the assets OF only 81
600. 900 900 left from the Wilson ad-
ministration. Mr.. Smith found this
item from the war added bodily to
the savings OF the grand old party:
and when the treasury reported that
In the last fiscal year the administra-
fion spent 81 1875. 0oo. 900 less" than
in 1921. Mr.. Smith had hard time
in laughing it off
Then there is the claim that by
rigorous economy the federal ad-
ministration has been able to reduce
expenses by s2.ooo. 900. 900 annually
According to The Democratic candi

ference between peace time cost and
