JAMES l.. DOYLE

The death of James L. Doyle, pub fisher of the New Britain Record. removes an influential citizen from the arena of civic affairs. From 1888, when he obtained control of his newspaper. until his death in his 7Sd year, he was a staunch uphold CT of civic progress, a man of cour- age. of industry, of sound opinions based upon a wide knowledge and experience of public affairs. AS the years rolled on he became the dean of New Britain newspaper workers and had their respect and confl- dence to the end.
 His life was that of builder and closely paralleled that of many an other editor of present-day journals. At first he learned newspaper work and printing on small scale gradu- ally gathering momentum until he became a master of the printing craft and was identified with i'm portant firms His entry into New Britain was as a printer and editor, and his efforts here were successful.
 Politically he chose to be straight Republican, but it was widely known he preferred to help lead the party rather than accepting policies handed down. His advice and coun- gel was seriously considered within the party and when he spoke on political affairs it was with the au- thority of . leader within the party of his choice.
 Editor Doyle, in his long career, never stopped to personalities in his columns: this was the more note worthy during time in Connecticut journalism when such old-fashioned methods were still in use here and there in the state. He early adopted | standard of clean discussion of public events and consistently main- tained it.
 The Herald extends sympathy to the bereaved family of its con- temporary. Our relations with Edi- tor Doyle were mutually of the highest professional and ethical standards. In his death we. too. feel that an irretrievable loss has been sustained.

The Connecticut Railway & Light ing Co. is taking down it's poles and wires on Main street and is substi- tuting octagonal lighting poles which make for much greater beauty. The removal of the wires brings into prominence the many signs hanging out over the street, and since so much is being spent on hettering the ! appearance of the street the au- thorities might well be circumspect about permitting these advertise ments.

Paul Reed Faces
 Life in Prison

Rockford, H., Dec. 10 P1An "eternal triangle" drama had ended its second act today with Paul Reed facing life imprisonment for the murder by bombing of Vernoa Plager. whose wife Reed loved.
 Reed, called the Hove bomber" because he was accused of planting the dynamite which killed Plager as he stepped on the starter of his car, was convicted yesterday.
 Mrs. Ivy Plager, the slain mans yOlng and comedy wife. was the star witness for the state to help con- vict the man with whom she once eloped.
 The courtroom was packed with a crowd that heard Reed and Mrs. Plager bare the story of their rom ance. which had included two weeks elopement to Peoria, H.. and Davenport, Iowa. On their return Plager caused their arrest, but la ter forgave his wife.

STANLEY WORKS INFLUENCE

Our estimable Observer let fly an observation on Saturday without adding any observations thereto. This had to do with the supposed influence of the Stanley Works upon members of the Common Council who happen to be employed in this important plant.
 There was the list of those obtain ing their bread and gravy from this industry; and then when those who happen to be Democrats were con- fronted with sticking with the mayor on the high school issue or switching to the constructive side, they switched.
 If the Stanley Works exerted an influence in this particular it was a decidedly beneficial influence. The company in such case. is en- titled to congratulations upon recognizing logic and placing Ii above splitting.
 But. really, We don't believe the Stanley Works councilmen helped 10 override the late veto because their employers told them how to vote. It was a much more simple matter than that It was patent that some thing had to be done about the high school and after a few days hard thought and hearing from clti- zens who somehow failed to see how such all important subject should be entwined in politics, they let their conscience be their guide.
 As a general principle of govern ment, however it is not well that in dustries where counCilmen are ern- ployed should seek to dictate their

 If on account of this folderol the tost of the addition will be some what more than anticipated, lt should not discourage the numerous proponents of the high school.

PROGRESS IN CANADA

It is the habit of Americans to refer to the fact that progress in the United States is unequalled any, where in the world. that our ma terial wellbeing is unparalleled in history. All of which probably is true. But We need not forget that material progress is fairly prominent in the nation to the north also.
 Extending from ocean to ocean, Canada with its 10,OO0,0OO popula- tion-no more than in New York state alone contains immense re- sources; these are being tapped and quite generally distributed among the population. Material progress can scarcely be avoided.
 It has the biggest railroads-lines extending from ocean to ocean, owning ocean liners and dozens of big hotels en route; it is building short cut to Europe-the Hudson Bay route; it possesses vast stores of minerals, it's immense production of grain help to feed Europe.
 | Its government is democratic and flexible; no Canadian we have ever i met would care to swap it for our own. To determine how flexible it is one need only 10 refer to prohibi- tion. The Canadians had it and to- day all but one province has adopt 1 d provincial, or state, control as | superior; and this is regarded as q ! model system by no less an author fly than Governor Smith.
 Canadians, peering over the line at our Constitutional amendment and the consequent difficulty ot re- cedlng from a mistaken position 1 recede in horror.
 i Prohibitlonists tell us that the in. 1 creased savings bank deposits in the , United States prove that prohibition is good thing. Canadian bank de. posits have increased per capita jus, as rapidly if not more so, and no- body can credit it to false as. | sumption in Canada.
 The Federal Reserve Act, dating from the time of Woodrow Wilson Is credited with working wonders with our financial system. Tn. Canadian central banking system eXstcd generations before that time, and though the branch bank. ing system is attached. this IS more a difference Tn form that effect.
 Canada during is histor. ha. settled many hard problem Witi l'ss contention and popular e1- citem~nt than w@ required to att4l, the same end. The nation alway. las believed In what we call states ! rights and has always pfacticed tht principle. Over there 1t is called provincial rights They believe il liberty, and also practice as well 8! preach it-personal liberty included

 Our advertising department will have to induce them to wear more. D remarked the second executive. But then" he added rather reluct- antly. that has been tried without success. Every time we attempt it the style arbitrators lay off a few more ounces. It's going to be a great world if we live long enough to see it. At that time there will be no silk plants.

 JerkWater, Pa.--Ihree high school girls who had left their stockings at home caused sensa- ton among male students and male instructors today. They not only lacked stockings, but they also seemed to be wearing nothing below the waist except a diaphanous gauze-like skirt which ended above the knees. Principal Plewes. after giving them a lecture on dress and department, ordered them to return home and put on more clothes.
 Muskeeto. N. J.-Constable l. M. Alert today began frowning. The oftener he trained a fishy stare down Main street the more his emo- tions boiled. Finally he conferred with the town counsel about the possibility of finding a law to clamp down on the hordes of Muskeeto maidens who were stalking along the streets in bare legs The town counsel was thumbing through the law books as this dispatch was be- ing sent.
 A few days later the city editor Of the same newspaper was reading q snappy story written by one of his dapper young reporters, which told all about how the bare leg style was invading the city, how the police were powerless to stop the fad, and how one of the local stocking manu- lecturers viewed the situation with exceeding alarm.
 The bituminous coal industry is faced with the same problems of curtailed consumption. There are oil-burning industries, electrically operated industries depending upon hydro-electric power lines, oil il-burn- ing locomotives, oil-burning steam- ships; and more scientific use of coal, resulting in decreased use. Conditions in both the coal and tex tile industries differ in no degree from those which bear down upon these industries in Great Britain.
